The small house that's now in our driveway . . .

This is our new camper. :)

All set for the Science Fair!

I have reviewer folders organized with table assignments, project review assignments, and guides for asking questions. I have student assignments plotted and en route via email to the secretary who will forward to all the teachers. I have table labels that I just need to cut (oh - can't forget the tape). I have pens and clip boards. I have the ribbons and certificates. I have a sticky note to bring my lunch. I have an email out to all committee members. I think that about does it. Just got to send an invite to the guy who did our science assembly (oh - and I have to help both kids finish their display boards).

Speaking of display boards: shhhh - they look horrible! OMG - but (BUT) they did it themselves. They wanted to paint their boards, Joshua wanted to tape paper strips for decoration, etc. I did relinquish control (ugh - how I cringe!) but it's their project. I helped with the science - they take control of the display. Actually - it makes me a good mommy (because I'd love nothing more than to just do it myself! -but it's not my project).

Anyway, all they hear is my praise and see my smiles! :)

New House - hahaha!

We now have a small house in our driveway! LOL! Finally got to pick up the new camper. It's a 33 foot 5th wheel w/ three slide-outs. It's so pretty! Sky did remarkably well parking it - especially with all this snow (he couldn't drive in the yard at all to get the job done - I'm going to remember that in the future when the snow is NOT in the yard!). I will post pic's as soon as I can. The kids have already had half the neighborhood here to see it.

Sniff, sniff - I'm having a pitty party!

Today is shaping up to be one of those days where the kids are making me want to cry (or do bad things - very bad things). So - cry it is.

How many times do I have to say, "Be quiet. Daddy's sleeping!"?

And, just where is the common sense? (I'd much rather have this one answered before any others!)

I've said how much I love Sky working nights during the outage - and I do mean it. It's just that weekends are very hard. I don't know why he just can't get a room somewhere.

And, as much as I love being a part of the PTO - here comes the complaining. The science fair is this Thursday, I still have stuff to work on - even at home with my own kids projects. And, because of the upcoming science fair - I'm frazzled. Should I be? No. But, I am - so, I feel and act frazzled for the whole two weeks leading up to it. I'm stupid but that's the way it is.

I'm a Winner!

OMG OMG OMG!!! I WON I WON I WON!!! Holy crap I won tickets to Cirque DuSoleiel Drailon (okay - just ignore any spelling errors!). Holy Cow! Holy Pickles! Wooohooo!

Okay - I entered a contest via FB. List what you would do to win 2 tickets to the show opening night: I said I'd do 100 jumping jacks on stage - without a bra! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah - then I wroke jk (just kidding)!

I'm totally psyched! Who do I take?? That is the question, huh?

I'm thinking my girl Kimber will be coming with me - but, I suppose I should ask my hubby first - since he is off that night. Of course, he can have a bonding night with his boys, too!

I'm so excited!

Say NO to Moon Dough!

Pic of how I rearranged my living room - I like it b/c I can see out the windows now. Also, Joshua painting the display board for his science project. And,the trouble with Moon Dough and Moon Sand - very messy! And, finally - Tyler took a bath and came to show me his bubble beard. :)

My 6 yr old son is rather intelligent. He has said so many things that I am stunned he has 'figured out on his own.' Like this morning - he was heating up some choc. chip pancakes in the microwave. I pulled out a styrofoam plate for him to put them on once they were done heating on a regular plate. He said to me, 'you can't heat this plate up in the microwave because it will melt.' Okay - common sense to you and me but he's 6! I didn't teach him that and we normally don't have styrofoam plates in the house. I asked him how he knew that and he said, "I just knew."

At any rate, Justin and Tyler were over at a friends house yesterday - parents were not home but the 18 yr old brother was. My kids decided to stay when he left. That made me mad - at my kids, not the other boys. Anyway, when I found out I made them come home. We went and got some McD's and had just gotten inside - (9:30pm; How in the heck did it get so late!?) - got our food divied out, and were sitting down eating when the other boys ShoWed up on my doorstep! Of course they wanted J & T to spend the night. I got irritated with them and told them I was p.o.'d they came over. I said IF you want my kids to spend the night - HAVE YOUR MOM OR DAD CALL ME! I swear - kids conspire and you can't trust it's automatically alright with the other parents. Besides - hearing the parents tone of voice can let you know if they Really want your kids over or not. Anyway, she was totally okay with it. I just feel bad I can't reciprocate because of Sky working nights. So - they're over at the neighbors house. - all done venting now. :)

 
 
 
 
Pic's may be jumbled but there are three of trees (I don't know why but I love taking pictures of trees) and a pic of this weird thing I bought at an antique store that I was kind of drawn to. It's hanging next to the stove. I think I'm going to use it for dish towels. I'd use it for potatoes and onions but I can't put anything heavy in it until I have Sky anchor it - it's not in a stud and that thing - is deceptively heavy. (And, pardon the messy kitchen.)

Okay? I tell you "I love you" and you say - 'okay?' (This was from Joshua, of course.)

OMG OMG OMG! I've got a SITE REVIEW! April 12th. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. It's like the first day jitters! I've only been working for MedAssurant since November. I about gave up the idea I might actually go to the doc's offices to review charts! I can't wait to have the first one under my belt! I sooooo wish I wasn't going alone. But, I CAN DO IT! (being positive)
