The 9th Day

The M&Ms went bowling with the church today in Texarkana.
They had a great time. Everyone bragged on how well Matt did. I think it made him feel really good.

Trey and I watched "The Outsiders" while they were gone.

oh my gosh...did that age me or what?
Look how young Rob Lowe looks..and Tom Cruise doesn't even look like himself!
And Diane Lane....

I'd forgotten she played Cherry. I had it in my mind that Lea Thompson did. I was surprised! I love Diane Lane.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight was Matt's turn for our dinner choice.
He wanted bbq wings, so I got a bag of those, and a bag of garlic parmesan chicken "nuggets" that tasted almost as good at Buffalo Wild Wings..not QUITE as good, but almost. I made corn on the cob, too. They were happy.
Tomorrow is Molly's turn to pick the dinner menu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After dinner I went over to Greg's w/o any kids.
It was suppose to be "Robin and Greg night" as he called it, but he had been to the dentist and had to come home and take a pain pill.
Routine cleaning, but with his degenerative gum disease...it hurt.
He says we'll have that night tomorrow night.
We'll see.
I knew I was jinxing tonight when I shaved my legs this afternoon. I wasn't surprised.

We had a nice night tho....watched "Gran Torino"

good movie.

and that was my day.
Tomorrow we'll probably go to the pool since I have to be at school Thursday and Friday to work on Literacy curriculum. Then the kids will go to their dad's for another week and I'll have a quiet week in which I hope to get a lot of cleaning done.
but for now...this is it! A lazy day today..and probably one more tomorrow.

A month of positive thinking

1. I spent one-on-one time with my oldest child today. He doesn't get that very often.
2. I remembered to praise the efforts my kids made today instead of overlooking them.
3. I did not focus on what I didn't get, and just enjoyed the time spent with my man.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
