Back to Reality

We have been in vacation mode around here.

Which basically means staying up late and sleeping in.

Sleep in is such a wonderful thing.

I really wouldn't mind a few more days/weeks of vacation.

Oh well, like they say all good things must come to an end. Vacations have to eventually end, and in order to thrive we must be productive. If it sounds like I'm trying to talk myself into being happy about our winter break coming to an end you would be correct.

The normal crazy business of our lives returns in full force today.

I get to go and meet my future students today and I am nervous.

Belly ache I don't wanna go do I really have to do this nervous. Sometimes I kind of wish I could crawl under my covers and not come out.

I guess that isn't really an option.

If you too are joining back with the real world today have a wonderful vacation is over we can do this day.

As much as I enjoyed vacation and lazying around, myself and the kids are glad to get back to the routine. Today was back to the good'old grind with Mommy as Chauffer and everyone fell into place, just as I've trained them to do. Thank you, routine!

In the picture I noticed your VTech phone, and I was like, "WHA?! VTech makes phones?!" We have VTech toys scattered about this room here. SO, which came first, the phone or the toys? (My guess is the grown up stuff came first, then they branched out into toys.) Such deep thoughts I have.

That phone is olddd... Well considering how many cell phones we have been through since we bought that phone it is practically ancient.

So you are probably right the little kid toys came after the big kid toys.

Aren't you glad to have the routine back. 100% Obedient children to boot. Go Ash!!!

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 ...
