Back to Life...Back to Reality


or at least....back to beginning of the grind.

Glitter Graphics, Summer's Over Glitter Graphics
This is the last full week I have with my kids prior to school starting.
My last full week with my boys.
They will leave Sunday afternoon and be at their dad's til school starts, then it's the every other weekend thing for them. I'll still SEE them every weekend, when I take or pick up Molly..but they won't be living here anymore.
That's gonna be weird.


We took a family walk this morning. The kids decided last night they wanted to go with me today. So 6am..i got them up.
3 laps around the playground is .9 mile. 7 laps is 2.1 miles and 10 laps is 3 miles. I like to do 3 miles.

The M&Ms tuckered out after 2 laps and went to play on the swings.

Trey held it together for 7 laps, but a blister had formed on the back of his heel, so we called it a day.
I guess it's new shoes for him!


I'm going to sit in on a taping of KTSS Talks this morning. Be the "side-kick". We're promoting our Junior Auxiliary Stuff the Bus project that kicks off in a couple weeks.
We are borrowing a school bus, parking it at Walmart, and accepting donations of school supplies or money to buy school supplies to give to the local schools for kids who don't bring any.
I hope we do well.


I'm also hoping this afternoon is sunny. I'd like to take the M&Ms to the pool. We've only got a few more days to do that. It's rained all weekend and was hazy this morning, but it looks like it's trying to clear off.

*crosses fingers*

(uh oh...I hear the wind picking up. Doesn't bode well for my wishes)


This evening holds JA meetings and Bunko for me.

a Busy Day.

Yep....getting back into that routine again!

I can't believe the summer is almost over. :(
Thanks for the sweet comment--and none of the prayers are original. But they are good, aren't they!
Praying for you, too! :)
And I am hoping to go to homecoming this year! Just not committing yet...

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...
