Project 365: Spring Break Week

A Picture a day for 365 days...a year's worth of fun!

What a busy/lazy/homey/exciting week it has been. I had only one of my children home with me all week during spring break, my 16 yr old son, Trey. He's definitely the EASIEST of my children to live with, and it's been nice having time with him alone. (for those that don't know, he has lived with his dad for the past 7 years, not wanting to move or change schools when I came to the town I am in now. It was the best decision for him, but not always the best for this momma who misses him so.)

Sunday
Today was "FAMILY BIRTHDAY PARTY for ME" day!
You may have seen my entry on this. My family celebrates everything. It was an exciting day at my parents with my brother's family and sister's family there, too.

Turning 43's not so bad when you get such great presents from your 4 yr old neice!

Monday
Today was a "lazy/stay home and watch movies and play Rock Band with your kid kind of day."
Maggie was not so sure about the RB guitar tho!


365/81
Tuesday
Today was My actual birthday.

No time to party today tho.
Lots of errands to run and took Maggie to get spayed.
A birthday donut had to suffice!
(pay no attention to the lit match in that donut. I couldn't find a candle anywhere!)

Wednesday
Today was "spend the day with my child" day.
Trey and I spent the day at the Louisiana Boardwalk in Shreveport/Bossier City.
(It's only about 90 miles from where I live in Arkansas)
I think there's already an entry about this day, too.


Chocolate covered gummy bears and riding the carousel were 2 of my favorite things!

Thursday
Today was "Clean out the storage building day".

After 2 hours of working, I barely made a dent in the "reorganization process", but I did haul off two big loads of trash and empty boxes.

365/84
Friday
Today was "It's Official" Day.
After 5 years of dating, and 6 months of talking about it and even planning a date, Greg finally made our engagement official with the proposal and ring.
(I KNOW there's an entry about this already! LOL)


365/85
Saturday
Today was "plant the tulips and hyacinths my sister gave me for my birthday" day.

Trey weeded the flowerbed over at Greg's house so I could plant my flowers.
I hope they live....I'm known in these parts as being a plant murderer!

So, as you can see, it's been a busy, fun-filled, exciting week! I got to spend quality time working and playing with my teenage son, celebrated my birthday, and got engaged! What more could a girl ask for?



I am participating in the 2010 Mommytography 365 Project!
For this year long project I will be posting an image a day.
I am hoping this will...

• help me find new things around me to focus my attention on
• share my world with my friends and family more

Anyone interested in photography can join, no need to be a Mommytographer.

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...
