somehow, i’m sitting on the couch tonight feeling accomplished and ready for the week. you would have never guessed it would be possible if you had been in my house this morning. i had nothing ready for my pre-school class tomorrow; no meal plan or grocery list for the week; the house was a […]
so, i found a website… www.pinstrosity.blogspot.com …and it had me rolling. mainly because i have experienced some major pinterest fails that are just as humerus. i just love it when i am staring at the computer screen and laughing so loud that the kids ask what i’m laughing at. that doesn’t […]
this morning, i set my alarm for a little bit earlier than usual…braided hair a little bit tighter…poured a little more cereal in their bowls…pressed her skirt so that it would lay just right…and lingered a little longer over their lunches. this morning was a little different. i only had 2 to get […]
relationships are an art form. i’ve decided. somehow…over the last 8 years in texas…the majority of my close friends have lived out of state…which is weird, since i grew up here. that kinda puts a kink in the party, if you ask me. however…as the years apart from each other go on…we grow closer. […]
overwhelmed is an understatement. i feel like i’m back in high school during finals week. i was the kid who would freak out and run around like a crazy person…talking about how stressed out i was instead of sitting down and actually studying. once i’d buckle down and finally start studying…i was fine. but i […]
tonight marks the closing of the 2012 summer olympics. it’s a sad day. i hate it when they’re over. but when i gauge things in terms of the olympics…it is unwelcomingly brought to my attention…once again…how quickly time passes. like…when i first fell in obsession with michael phelps was in athens, 8 whole years ago. and […]
i have spent every spare minute over the last several days planning my pre-school/kindergarten daily schedule and theme unit schedule for the year. well…not EVERY minute. but a lot of them. i am part of a home school co-op this year and i am the teacher for the pre-school/kinder class. i’m excited about it. i […]
the olympics have proven their worth, yet again. my favorite moments for london 2012 thus far… 1. michael phelps winning # 19 2. USA women’s gymnastics team smashing the competition for gold 3. missy franklin’s gold in the backstroke 4. US women’s soccer wins against france, colombia, and north korea i personally really loved the sportsmanship […]
we re-united with our friend, the backyard, thursday night. it’s been a while…because of our enemies, the mosquitoes and humid heat. but…thursday night…we sucked it up. flicka tried her hand at baseball… while colton showed us he still had it. there is something very satisfying about watching siblings teach and learn from each other. they […]
i woke up this morning with good intentions. i swear, i did. it’s been a week of mama fail. the kind where you wake up after your kids have been up for a while and realize that they didn’t come and get you. then you stumble to the coffee pot and realize that they have […]
