Wow...what a fast busy week!
They say the older you get the faster time flies....they weren't lying!
Let's see what kept me busy this week:

365/114
Sunday-April 25
Mom's bday. I sang in church for her, then afterwards my son Trey drove me all around town (where I lived for 10 years before moving here) to show me how things were different/same. We drove down to see how high the river was from all the rain.
It was pretty high.


365/115
Monday-April 26
My daddy had surgery today. Just cataract removal, but with his other health problems, (COPD, emphyzema) it was kinda scary for him. But he did great!


365/116
Tuesday-April 27
Back to school...back to routine...back to the never ending supply of meetings.
Today's was Handbook Committee to review and revise our school policies.


365/117
Wednesday-April 28
Choir practice after church



365/118
Thursday-April 29
another 2 hour meeting after school, and progress report day.
My nearly 12 yr old Matthew made straight A's for the first time ever...even beating out his older brother and younger sister on grades..something he's also never done!
Talk about a proud little boy...and a proud momma!


365/119
Friday-April 30
Molly's dad picked her up from her school today, so I was able to actually leave my own school at "regular time"..something which almost NEVER happens!


365/120
Saturday-May 1
Today was "Start sorting, tossing, and packing" day. I worked on the "extra bedroom" that is suppose to be the boys' room but they never sleep in, so it's become kind of a storage room for when we need to *hide stuff*.
It took my about 5 hours, but I got rid of 2 bags of garbage, and took not only packed up stuff to Greg's, but stuff for the big yard sale in 2 weeks. All that's left in there is an empty dresser, broken tv, the videogame chair, box of controllers, and the Rock Band drums (cuz the boys may want to use those when they are here this weekend)

BEFORE:


AFTER:





So...yes, the week slipped by. Seems like so long ago since last Sunday...but I guess it really wasn't. Just makes me worry about how fast the rest of the month will go before the end of school, wedding, moving all has to be done!

Savor every moment so nothing passes you by!


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...
