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.

Me, Myself and I said…
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!!!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

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 ...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
