i’ve got 5 kids here…4 mine…1, a friend…and the blind side on TV. i love this movie. i love everything about it. **** my daughters start gymnastics this week. and it’s a good thing. because this one is swinging off of everything in the house. i’m thinking […]
if 90 degrees instead of 100 degrees is supposed to be fall…the fall is in full swing down south. i found these at target. but don’t be fooled. i’m waiting for the bags of total pumpkins to hit the shelves. the autumn mix is not the same. i can’t be picking all the […]
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 […]
