Is the Week Over?

This was suppose to be one of those weeks that stay at home mom's look forward to.  Tuesday was suppose to be my day of celebration.  A day filled with bons bons and shopping.  Just in case you don't know what I am talking about.  After 12 years of being a stay at home mom.  With stay at home children.  My little Henry started school.

I walked him to school, I stood with him line waiting for his teacher, walked him to the door of his class, where he turned and said, "Bye, mom you can leave now." So what was I suppose to do I left.

Which turned out to be a very good thing because by the time I hit the door of my home I was sick.  I won't go into details of how sick I was, let just say it was gross. Somehow I had managed to come down with the stomach flu.

The stomach flu that took me down for two solid days and now that it has gone has left me shaky and weak on the best day this week.

Meanwhile, life marched on.  Henry loves school, Sam has started orchestra playing the Cello, this along with everything else she does. I vaguely remember an argument taking place between Brent and Sam where he was trying to get her to give up something.  She just told him no and I can do it and I will figure it out and........well I don't know the rest because I sank back into unconsciousness. Andrew and Alex are resisting school a little more they are missing the carefree days of summer.

Andrew is suffering from video game withdrawal.  I think if he doesn't get a video game fix soon we may have to put him in a treatment facility.  Alex is just resisting the whole educational process, her thoughts are more along the line of, "Everything I need to know Hanna Montana can teach me."  

Have I mentioned how much I HATE TV. 

Meanwhile the home schooling parents have more then doubled in our neighborhood this year.  Leaving my middle two saying, "We want home school." Of course we all know they want the home part a little more then the school part.

Be prepared for a future rant on Home school.

So that just leaves me with one question, Is The Week Over Yet?

Stomach flu is never any fun. However, the week is over and since you are not in school, you can have a fun weekend even though you were sick during the week (it was always my parents' rule that if you missed school on Friday, then you missed the whole weekend too). So, go get some bon bons, a good book, something fabulous to drink (soda, hot chocolate, virgin margaritas) and be carefree for the next few hours!

Oh, and plan better for next week... you kinda blew the no-kids-fun-factor when the yacking started.

So sorry to hear that you were sick. That really stinks. Hopefully next week goes better for you.

Sorry to hear you were sick, the flu is never a good thing, especially when all your kids are finally in school and you have your own private time.
Home schooling is starting to spread like wild fire around here. The school systems are slowly going under. At our house the kids will finish elementary school and then they will go into a home schooling program. A couple of other moms I have talked to want to put their kids in a home schooling program too. I found one that we are going to do where the kids each get their own computer and their teachers teach them online and they get the books and supplies they need for free and then when test time comes around they have to go to the office to take their tests. So this is Teryn's final year of public school. She can't wait. Austin wants to start now. Poor guy hates his teacher.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
