1. Handfulls of brownies after dinner!!!


I see a theme of caffiene and chocolate in my day. So bad, yet so darn good! Oh well, we'll see if I can eat better tomorrow. (Probably not!)

Oh, we're actually supposed to play with the toys in this house?

Power Rangers to the Rescue

Jax in the box. Jaxon does Pantomime in his talent show, along with magic, dancing, and jumping tricks.
The audience asks for autographs from the performer, who is suddenly called "James".

Firefighter and his fire dog.

Aint Got the Power

"Let me tell you 'bout the night the lights went out in Georgia..." ok, been singing that one all day except substituting day for night and Oakley for Georgia. This stir crazy mommy was shut in with her two boys from 8:30-11:30am with NO POWER. That's right folks. Could I leave-NO, garage door opener is elextric...could I pop in a movie-NO...could we make waffles, which is the only thing they wanted to eat-NO...could I check my email-NO!!!!!!!! What's a girl to do with all that time on her hands? Well a little talent show, a little coloring, a little dress up, a little singing, a little whining, and a meal of crackers and cheese. Not bad! So the power came back on around 11:30, stayed on for 2 minutes, went off for another 20 and has remained on since then. What a relief, now let's watch some tv already!!!

Pictures aren't posting. I'll try again later.

Career in a Box

ok, here it is. My classroom in boxes. Funny thing is, this isn't half of it. I have stuff in my office at school and in a huge rolling cabinet in a closet at DVE. Sad to see it all sitting there and no one using it. That's ok...the plan is to be back in the classroom NEXT year. It'll be GREAT in '08! That's my slogan and I'm sticking to it.

Top Ten Tuesday

Here's a list of 10 reasons I haven't been to the gym lately...

10. I hate working out.
9. It's much more fun to sleep in every day.
8. My new time schedule is 9am-Midnight.
7. I already went on my trip so who cares what I look like.
6. I'm learning to love my body.
5. I hate working out.
5. Drinking Diet Coke all day gives me as much energy as working out does.
4. It's hot in the gym, even at 6:00 AM.
3. There are only certain times when sweating is fun...in Mexico and in bed.
2. It's tough to get up, work out, come home and have no where to go all day.
1. I hate working out!!!

Having stated my case, I know I will be better off if I just get up and go. However, I'd like to know how many teachers are getting up this summer to go to the gym??? Summer is for being lazy, right? Who's with me? I'll keep you posted on how it all goes.

Weekend Wrap Up

There was lots of scrapbooking and lots of swimming in our weekend. I spent over 12 hours scrapbooking with Marissa on Saturday. The boys were at my mom's so I had some extra time to stay up late Saturday night. So I put in some extra time with my pages when I came home from It's Scrapbook Time. I slept in on Sunday (a nice treat) and then headed over to my mom's house to swim with the boys. My sister came over for lunch and we all hung out by the pool for the afternoon. Shawn even came over for a while to swim. Like I said, swimming is about all we do these days! We are having a blast!

This is Summer

ok, these were taken last week but it pretty much sums up our days for the past week. We have been swimming at my mom's house every day this week. Mason is finally out of his water wings and swims around the perimeter of the pool, close to the wall for security. He is so proud to swim in the deep end. Give us a few more days and he'll be going across the pool. He has to do it on his own. Any time I ask if he wants to try something he says no. Then 10 minutes later he'll try it when he thinks no one is paying attention. Just like a man...has to think it's HIS idea!

My mommy of the year award didn't arrive yet. However I do feel redeemed by the fact that we have been outdoors every single afternoon for hours AND I finally ordered Jaxon's sparring gear for Karate. It's $125 so I was holding out. That's some serious scrapbook money!!! So next Thursday, he spars. I'll post photos. I'm sure it'll be a hoot!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!
