Backin it up to Saturday

Saturday: kids were on computer late so I didn't get this in before midnight..so I'm just backing up and pretending it's still Saturday night!

We had a great day!
Started off going to yard sales with Molly. We scored 5 pairs of jeans/overalls/capris for $5 and 4 tops for her for $4. I'd gone to a couple sales Friday where I got 3 pairs of shorts and 2 pairs of jeans for the boys for $5, too!! The boys are wearing the same waist size now, so the shorts can be worn by either/both of them.

After the yard sales, I came home and took a short nap, then we went to the pool. We stayed a bit longer than I intended b/c the kids were having fun playing with some other kids, and now the backs of my legs are burned! not the fronts..just the backs! LOL Will have to even that out Monday!

When that fun ended, we came home and I got a shower, and then laid on the love seat watching "New in Town" with Renee Zellwegger (sp?)
Cute...Harry Connick Jr..mmmm!

Then Greg came and got me and we went grocery shopping to get stuff to grill burgers. They've been doing burger shows all week on Food Network and I was craving them!
So..our evening consisted of burgers and dominoes. Hadn't played dominoes since January 2nd!! It was fun.

Sunday will entail Church and a trip to Texarkana to shop for Greg's gifts for Vampira's bday. I offered to run over there and pick them up. I'm just nice like that!

Even tho it was a very nice day, I'm having a hard time coming up with positives about myself. I thought it would be easier..I mean, look at how great I am! (LOL...joking). But it's not that easy! Here goes:

A month of positive thinking
1. I am thrifty. I like to save money wherever I can.
2. I have a faith that never wavers...even in the hard times. I know my God will sustain me and provide for me. (cuz He always does.)
3. I am so loved by my children that sometimes it gets on my nerves! LOL They think they need to be ON me..hugging and kissing on me, all the time. But it just means they love me!! And that is the most important thing.

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

Image
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...
