Every Day and the Last Day

I just read a blog post from a writer who has posted almost every day for 8 years.

That is amazing.

I find that my blog often goes without a post as my days blur together. I loose track of what day it is and what is going on in the rush of every day.


I have been reading her blog for a couple of years now. She lost her sister and I grieved with her as did her other readers. I was thinking about how many wonderful, sad, happy, moments she has recorded. It is the small things that we look back on and she has it all documented. Even the sad things that define us more than we like to admit.

I'm a little jealous.

It is the last day of 2011 and my energy is lagging. The hubby had to work tonight so we did the midnight thing last night.

Now I get to do it with the kiddos tonight. I hope I make it.

I feeling a little sad today. Not enough sleep and feeling a little blue that the Christmas tree and lights are gone. Back to reality without the twinkling lights of the holiday.

2012 is holding a lot of promise.

My degree is complete I only have to complete student teaching and I will be a for real teacher. Kind of excited!

This kids are growing up. S. has her learning permit and is driving. A. is finding out what is means to be responsible. Al's art talent is growing. H. is growing like a weed.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, fun New Years Eve. See you in 2012.

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...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
