Hey, Hi, Hello

Hey, Hi, Hello!

Remember me.

I refuse to mention one more time how fast the summer zoomed. I mean I’ve already said it half a dozen times. Which is about how many times I posted this summer.

Life, my friends, is CRAZY BUSY!

I keep waiting for things to slow down so that I can have a few moments to catch up. However, things refuse to slow down. My calendar looks like a 2 year old went to town coloring. Only it isn’t coloring it is everything that is going on. Who knew four kids could keep you so busy. I have no clue how people with more manage to sleep.

Just when I am about to loose my mind with all the noise, clutter, and kid mess they have the nerve to go back to school. Leaving me sitting in a house that is eerily quiet. I’m talking spooky quiet. I’m pretty sure if I yelled the house would echo.

On one hand I am doing the happy dance that they are in school. On the other hand I’m feeling a bit lonely. However, I think I can handle the bit lonely if it means I can clean a room and it will stay that way most of the day.

In my typical rambling way I am just saying Hey! School is back in session, summer is gone to quick, I’m lonely, but I’m going to handle it.

I think.

Time to try to find the mythical bottom of the laundry basket.

OH! Do you have each kid's activities in a different colored Sharpie? I would so do that. Do you need my two year old to come help you with your calendaring? She would looooooove to do that.

The bottom of the laundry basket doesn't exist. The Leprechaun has put it in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

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...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

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 ...
