8月23日 What a year so far...Well I cannot say that 2009 has been all that great so far. I am 41 now and the bod feels like it is falling apart! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in May and am just now starting to feel "ok", whatever that is, again.
 I have not been to Zumba in months due to the thryroid disease and my left arm. Evidently I pulled something years ago when Bryce was a baby, well that is when I first remember the pain anyway, and have just been living with it only now it is really hurting and I cannot move it certain ways. My doctor says I need PT on it but I haven't done it yet. I am trying to walk 2-3 miles a day however and I like this. I can do it when I have the time. No schedule to follow. I have fifteen freakin pounds that I want to lose and they are NOT budging for anything. My doc said they are much harder to shake atfter 40 and boy she ain't kiddin! So besides my health we have the death of my grandpa that we are living with. I will admit I am coping better then I ever thought I would but there are days when it hits me all over again. And then there is my grandma. The shock has worn off and now she is just sad and lonely. Mom and I try to get over there as much as possible but we have our work and families to care for too. Right now my brother is living with her but I'm not so sure that is a good thing. We like that she is not alone for safety reasons but she likes her space and they are finding it hard to share it.
We have also had several friends pass away this year, to the point where it is starting to freak me out being around so much death.
 Just alittle over a week ago we lost Sarah. If you have been following my blog since the beginning you will remember that Sarah is a friend that we met at Riley when Katie was diagonosed. We have stayed in touch and saw each other when we can over the past six years. Sarah lost her battle with cancer and earned her wings. She was a strong and beautiful person who inpired and touched many lives. She will be greatly missed.On a brighter note we had a wonderful vacation to Washington DC!! It was better then we ever could have imagined it to be and I am so glad that we went. I will have to post our pics one of these days when I get my new computer. Ours crashed and burned this summer and I am using Tyler's for now but hope to get my new one ordered this week.
Tyler is a sophmore this year and is in the process of getting his drivers license!
 So far school is going better this year...but it's only been a week so we'll see. Katie is in the seventh grade and still having a hard time. I worry about her so much...not only her grades but socially. She is so shy. Bryce is in the second grade and LOVING it!! He has a wonderful teacher that he is totally in love with! Bruce is still working at the bank and hopefully going to be coaching Bryce's baseball team this fall. I am getting ready to start my second year of teaching and am finally getting excited about it. I was enjoying those late nights and mornings to much for school to start but now that it has I am ready to head back too.I hope that all of you in blog land are well and enjoying the summer. I am off now to check up on all of you!  5月29日 My world has forever changed...again.On Wed. May 27th the world lost a wonderful man and the best grandpa I could have ever asked for. He was a huge part of my life and I miss him so much.
   4月7日 Have you all given up hope of ever hearing from me again?I hope not! I will admit that I have the Facebook bug and spend more time there and on my Valley Mom's website but I will never give up on Spaces! Truthfully I have been trying to stay off of the computer except for work and researching things that I want...like a new camera, new printer, furniture for Katie and deck, new phones...hmm my list is long, and unfortunately not as long as the zero's on our tax check!
 So our big trip this year is to Washington DC! We are so excited. This is a trip that we have been planning for a long time but wanted to wait until the kids were alittle older. Here's where the camera comes in. I want to have a good one that will zoom farther then mine will. I think I will need it to get good shots of the monuments and things. We are taking my MIL and Bruce's sister and her family with us.
I also need a new printer because ours broke MONTHS ago and it's really hard to run a home based business without one! I just don't know what I want though. I have the money just can't decide. I am looking at a Kodak because of the ink prices.
I am still working at the preschool but enjoying Spring Break this week. Even though that means sharing the computer with Tyler...who is standing over my shoulder right now waiting for it!
 So...I shall return later. Guess I will give Ty the computer and head to bed.If I don't get back before have a wonderful Easter!!
 1月17日 Brrr, it's cold outside!I really do hate the cold but oh it is so beautiful when it snows! It has been VERY cold here but the ground is white and the sun is shinning so I can tolerate it.
 The kids had a two hour delay on Thursday and then they cancelled school altogether on Friday. I was off Thursday for the delay and Friday is my normal day off, then Monday we are all home for MLK Day. It makes for a nice long weekend. As with last year this year I have vowed to get in better shape, eat better and all of that.
 The eating better is a struggle for me. I have cut out or way back on my sweets but the eating GOOD is hard for me. I just don't take the time to do it. I have also started Zumba which I love! I admit I haven't been as much as I would like to but I am going. I think if I can get there once a week I will be doing good. I have also decided that I would like to lose enough weight to get back down to 130 pounds. I thought that that was going to be about 15-20 pounds but when I weighed myself on New Years Day I had already lost some so I am actually needing to lose 12 more pounds. I have lost two since my...hmm, I won't call it dieting...I don't like that word and resolutions are made to be broken...oh heck I don't know what to call it. Just me trying to be a better me.Christmas was great...nice and relaxing. New Years was too. We actually didn't do anything on New Years Eve. Bruce and I were in bed before midnight. We watched the ball drop, kissed the kids and each other and went to bed.
Katie babysat that night, Bryce had Maddox over to spend the night and Tyler spent the night IMing with Madison. On New Years Day we went to my mom and dads for lunch and I went to my first Zumba class.Now we are back to work and school and I am trying to get organized. I am so tired of half finished projects and an unclean house. I used to be such a good housekeeper and now I just plain suck at it! We are making alot of headway on the basement but still are not finished. I will have to post some new pics. I just realized that the last album I have up is of our vacation in June!
 Anyway, we have all of the drywall up and are actually using the room but I still need to mud and paint then we can lay the carpet.I also have made a vow to work harder on my Entertaining at Home business. It really isn't going so well and it disappoints me but some of it is my own fault. I need to be more aggressive with it. I do have a party coming up next week that I am pretty excited about. It is a contact from the Cooking Show I did so someone outside of my friends circle. If anyone would like to have a catalog party just let me know and I will be happy to send the supplies to you!
Ok, well Bruce and Tyler are watching Police Acadamy on tv and want me to come and watch it with them. Such a classic! Have a great weekend all!! 12月31日 GRRRRRI am so pissed off! I had a whole big blog I was typing and MSN "encountered an error" and I lost it all! I am so fed up with them!! Them and Time Warner Cable are on my LIST!!!!
 Ok, I will be back later tonight when I have more time and update on our Christmas and just life in general. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve!! 12月26日 Merry Christmas!Hello blog land! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Click below to see our Holiday card!

We will be going to my parents house in an hour or so. Katie and Bryce are already there helping with the cooking.
I am determined to be happy and relaxed today. Life has thrown us another curve. Nothing with my kids or husband but someone in our extended family. It has made me look at life and my family and decide that I cannot MAKE them be happy. They have to choose it for themselves. I have decided that I don't want to be the glue that holds this family together anymore. I have my own family to care for. I told my brother this recently...that I was tired of being the one that "cares" in this family. He said that everything falls to me because I have broad shoulders and I have my act together. Maybe this is how everyone see's me but I don't feel like this. I have a great marriage and three great kids...not something that everyone in my family has but I have worked hard for this marriage and these kids. Other's could have what I have if they choose to. I know this is all confusing and I'm not even sure why I am writing it except that this is my journal and I feel like I need to get it all out. The only problem is family reads this and I don't want to hurt anyone. There I go again. Caring!
 *sigh* I just need to distance myself from the situation and let them make their own decisions and live their own lives. I just know that our family has changed and no matter what decisions are made in the coming months things will never be the same. I should be sad by this and I am but I think I am still more mad at the position that I have been put in lately. So today I will go to Thanksgiving dinner and put on a smile while apart of me inside is what...angry, sad, doesn't care anymore. Not sure.Well if this wasn't a Thanksgiving bummer then I don't know what is!  Thanks for listening...as if you had a choice! 11月11日 And the beautiful weather is GONE!Ugh, I cannot stand cold weather!
 The beautiful leaves have fallen by the thousands and the cold has hit. Even Bruce has already said he is not looking forward to winter and that we need to consider moving South! I just have to brag about Katie...she made HONOR ROLL!!! I honestly was just about in tears at her Parent/Teacher Conference. Neither Bruce or I ever believed that she would do this well in Middle School. Especially since she had been struggling so much. The teachers say that she works very hard and that she earned every grade she made. Needless to say we are thrilled to pieces!
We also had Bryce's Parent/Teacher Conference. His teacher says that he is so pleasent to have in class, that he listens and always does as asked. He is a good friend to everyone and gets along with everyone. Now we are waiting for Tyler's report card. They are taking finals right now. He is struggling in Algebra and Spanish so we will see.My Taste of Home Entertaining business is finally taking off. Taste of Home Cooking School had a show in my town on Thursday night and me and another rep from this area were the Taste of Home Entertaining consultants that represented the company at the show. I booked nine parties just that night and have a stack of more names and numbers that I need to call and book a party for them! I am so excited!! This could be major income for my family!!
The kids are out of school today and Bruce and I are off work so we are planning to rent a movie, pop some popcorn and spend some time with the kids. First off though I need to go out to my moms and have her hi-light my hair then I am getting it cut tonight. Sooo...I had better head off here and get going.
But first I want to say THANK YOU to every Veteran for their service and dedication to this wonderful country that we live in. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 10月24日 Wow. I'm really getting bad at this!I know I start every entry this way but I seriously cannot believe that it is almost November and that I have not been on here in almost two months!
 I will admit I have my other board that I am on and it is quite addicting plus we have just been really busy around here.I am finding that work is exhausting! I have to take a nap most days after being with eight two year olds!
I do love the work and the money is very nice. Things have been alittle rough around here lately but I know we are not alone. Times are tough right now. We celebrated Bryce's 7th birthday this month! I cannot believe that my baby is 7! I can however say that I do not miss the baby phase. I guess I am getting old. I am excited that he is now old enough to take on long trips as we are planning DC next summer!! It is going to be a fun filled jam packed exhausting trip and we can't wait!!
 Tomorrow my Valley Mom's group is hosting a Halloween party in our backyard. I really hope it doesn't rain as there are about 50 people coming and I do NOT want to move it indoors! The League dance is also coming up on the 15th. Mom and dad are going with us again this year so I am excited about that.
Grandma and grandpa are doing ok. Grandpa looks awfully frail but he is getting out in his yard and puttering around so that is good. The kids are doing "ok" in school. Tyler brought home a D on his report card so that did not go over well and Katie is struggling in Science and Band. I guess I am going to have to figure out how to pay for a flute tutor for her. She really likes it and she doesn't have much else extra that she does.
Bruce is really coming along on the basement. The drywall is up. My dad needs to finish the wiring but while we are waiting on that I can start mudding then paint! We are going to put a drop ceiling in and then carpet last. I was hoping to have it done by Thanksgiving but think that might not happen. We all cannot wait for it to be finished!!
Ok, well today is my day off and I swore I was going to clean plus I have some errands to run before I pick up Bryce. Hope you all are well and enjoying this beautiful Fall weather!! 8月28日 Yep I figured it was about time for my montly update:)This may be a long one. I feel yacky!
First of all I forgot to mention in my July post that we celebrated Tyler's 15th birthday! I cannot believe that I have a 15 year old that is in high school now! Speaking of high school he is not liking it so far. Too hard he says. It has been an adjustment for he and I both. The first morning of school I stood on the porch and watched my baby walk off to the bus stop and cried and cried. None of my kids have ever had to ride a bus before and the fact that it was off to high school was just all to much for me.
Tyler did decide to quit Cross Country but is taking band and playing the Tenor Sax and plans to tryout for the high school Jazz Band. He also decided that he wants to play baseball again this fall so we will be adding that to our schedule and basketball tryouts should be coming up soon...keep your fingers crossed!Katie started middle school this year and is havng a hard time also. (You will find that none of us are dealing well with the changes lately...well except maybe Bruce and I just tell him he has no heart! JUST KIDDING!
) Katie is stuggling with having mulitple classes to keep track of, three different lockers to keep straight-main locker, gym and band lockers. She is afraid of not getting to class on time, not remembering all of her materials needed and getting into trouble. Plus the homework! YIKES!! It is not going to be a good year for Bruce and I either! So far we have had two assignments that I have had to write a note to the teacher saying, sorry I don't understand it so I could not help Katie! Then I worry that her 504 Plan has not been reviewed by all of her teachers so I am constantly worrying if she is getting all that she needs during the day.Bryce did great the first week of school but crashed and burned this week.
Monday he told me he felt sick to his stomach and so even though I didn't really think he was sick I decided to keep him home for an hour or so to see what happened. Well he and I both ended up falling asleep and so I kept him home all day and while he was kind of blah and kept saying he was tired he never did get sick. Next day samething only I made him go to school. He cried and carried on and clung to me saying he missed me to much when he was at school and that the day was just to long without me. So I promised him I would come back and have lunch with him and that seemed to help for the time being. Wed. samething. He gets himself so worked up that he is shaky, clammy and I think he really does feel like he is going to throw up. I just don't know what to do or what has happened to cause this. I did go back to work this week after being home with the kids for nine years...maybe that has something to do with it. I just don't know. Bryce decided he wanted to take a break from soccer this fall which I am now glad about however basketball will be starting up in the next couple of months and he does want to do that.Bruce is working hard on our basement. I will have to take some pics and post them. We have drywall up!!! It is still my goal to have this done by Thanksgiving and Bruce is certainly working on it. He is on vacation next week and wants to work on it all week. I will be working half days but can help when I get home.
Well now about me. I guess my big news is actually getting a "real" job outside the home. I am now teaching preschool to 2 year olds four mornings a week. I am excited and have met the kids already at Open House but do not start work until next Tuesday. I have however been in the preschool just about everyday since I was hired last Friday to get my room ready, take CPR training and just familiarize myself with everything. I am a bit overwhelmed right now but know that once school starts it will all be ok. I am trying to decide what to do about League. It starts in September and is quite a time consuming volunteer thing. Especially the fall which I just don't know if I can handle right now. I feel like I have bitten off more then I can chew but we really could use the extra money right now. I left a message with the president of League yesterday so we will see. My Taste of Home Entertaining business is not going so well either...hence the job teaching. I am doing so much better in my presentations but not getting party bookings and good sales. I just don't know how to fix this but have found, as I was afraid I would, that it sounds easier then it really is.
I really miss talking with all of you and am going to try to get around to see you all tonight. It is 3:30am here and I can't sleep. I was so exhausted tonight that I feel asleep at 7:30 and woke up at 1am with a cold and to much running through my mind...I just can't shut it off! 7月25日 Ok, so once a month is good right??I can't believe that it is almost the end of July. I feel like the summer is flying by and I haven't gotten to enjoy it. It has just been way to busy around here. I honestly want to write about it but am really just having trouble sitting in one place for very long. I just wanted to stop in and say hello, let you all know that I am alright and ask for you to please pray for my grandparents. They are having some issues right now. They both fell in their home three weeks ago. Grandpa broke his ankle and is NOT dealing with it well and grandma hit her head on the concrete floor in their basement and really banged herself up. It has been a stressful time for our family trying to get my grandparents, who are 90, to make some living arrangement changes. They are not cooperating! So anyway hope you all are having a great summer and I will talk to you soon! 6月25日 Post Florida!!Oh my gosh I cannot believe it is almost the end of June already!! We have been so busy but having a great summer so far. School ended with all good grades and everyone passing to the next level. That is always a good thing, right?
The week after school got out I was running like crazy to get us ready for Florida. My days were compounded by the boys baseball games, hair appointments (even for the dog!), doctor visits, my first mammogram and finding and getting a DVD player installed in the van. It all came together and we left on June 7th. The day the floods came!
 We were very fortunate and did not suffer any damage but we know many who have and the devistation is great. Florida was great as usual. We met my parents down there and spent 8 beautiful days on the beach. We did some shopping, sight seeing, miniture golf, rode wave runners, Bruce and Tyler took in a Tampa Bay Rays game and we ate out every night!
 Now that we are back home we have opened up the pool to find it cloudy, the pool pump sounds funny, my Crab Apple tree that I got for Mother's Day last year died
 , something is eating the leaves on my knockout rose bushes and the weeds have taken over my flower beds! Plus I had my Taste of Home Entertianing launch party to get done so I had it last Friday-3 days after getting home. Not the best time but I was way to busy before Florida and I have my first party scheduled for this Friday so I just had to suck it up and get it done. (Thank you to all who came out to show your support of my new business!!) I am slowly getting everything back in order. The pool is clearing up, I have a name of someone to look at my pump, the garden center said they would give me store credit for my dead tree even though it is one month past the warranty and my rose bushes are coming out of it.
I also need to clean my living room carpet and paint the walls because I bought ALL NEW FURNITURE!!
I am so excited! The day I went to get the DVD player installed I had a couple of hours to kill down by the mall so I went over to Furniture Row and picked out a whole new set. Couch, loveseat, chair, two end tables, a sofa table, an entertainment center and new lamps! I came home and told Bruce about it and he went back with me to see it, liked it and let me buy it all!! They are supposed to deliver it next week so I have a lot to get done before it comes. The furniture is sage green so I am painting the walls a tan color. I also want to clean the carpet because we are arranging everything differently and I want to get the carpet cleaned where the entertainment center is going so we won't have to move it again. I will post pics when it all gets here!Ok, well I think I have caught you up on all that is going on. Oh one more thing. Tyler has decided to quit Cross Country and Track and his dad is having a hard time with this. I must admit that I am disappointed too but it is his life. I really think it's because he has to condition during the summer and he doesn't want to. Not sure. He says he doesn't like running and I agree if he doesn't like it then he shoudn't do it but he is so good at it. Please pray for him in hopes that he figures it all out. 5月22日 Mother's Day, Birthday and Anniversary!!May is my month! Of course then I am done for the rest of the year! First came Mother's Day which was nice. We went to church and had my MIL over for lunch. Then we went to my parents house for dinner. Next was my birthday! Yes, I turned the big 40 this year and it was great! It was the best birthday I can ever remember having as an adult! It started out on Friday with Bruce having my name announced on the radio and me winning a Cold Stone Creamery gift certificate. Then I went to the bank that afternoon and there was my name and age scrolling across the marcee! Saturday we had a yard sale in the am which went great and that evening we had family and friends over for a cookout. It was so much fun! I wasn't allowed to do anything. Bruce, the kids and others cooked and did everything! I loved it!! I will post pics for you all to see. Then on Monday the 19th Bruce and I celebrated 17 years of marriage by going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. 5月10日 My new adventure!!I have copied this from my Taste of Home Entertaining website. Please feel free to check it out.
Hello! I am Melissa Wilcox, Independent Consultant, from Terre Haute, Indiana. I am so excited that you have stopped by my website and are interested in learning more about Taste of Home Entertaining!
First, I want to tell you alittle bit about myself. I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful children and married to a wonderful man for almost 17 years now! I have had many "jobs" in my life time and am actually trained in nursing, however, I quickly learned that with a family it was not for me. I am so excited at this point in my life to have found Taste of Home Entertaining. You see I will turn 40 next week and have been feeling alittle restless lately. My children are all in school now, my baby started Kindergarten last fall, but it is very important to me that I am still available to them when they need me. For this reason alone I have not gone back to work. I have often thought of having my own home based business but truly could not think of what I wanted that to be. That is until I was introduced to Taste of Home Entertaining! I love my home and I love opening my home to family and friends so this company is perfect for me! When I first saw the catalog I wanted everything in it! I truly would not have become a consultant if I did not believe in the company and their products. Believe me this was a HUGE step for me! So take a look around. View our catalog and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with! ~Melissa 5月2日 Track, baseball and everything SPRING!!Oh my gosh have we been busy! The last couple of weeks have been good but very busy and I am just lovin this spring weather!! I just wish that it would warm up alittle bit more and that my allergies would take a fly'in leap!!
Tyler pitched his first Babe Ruth game last week and did awesome!! I unfortunately was not able to be there because it was a late game and I stayed home with the other two to put them to bed but Bruce called me with the play by play. Tyler was flying high when he got home that night! He was so nervous while out there but once it was over we had to scrape him off the ceiling! He was supposed to pitch last night but he had a track meet and we didn't get to the baseball game at all. Also last week Tyler won his first track race and again I was not there!
Bruce and I were on our way home from Riley with Katie and didn't make it there in time. Monday is his last meet and then County. I hope he does well.Katie had her four year check up at Riley on Thursday last week and got all good news!! Next year is the big 5 year mark and we are planning a trip to DC to celebrate. We will attend the Reach the Day convention and then do some sight seeing. We plan on being there for a week or so. The Reach the Day Convention is a Childhood Cancer Awareness convention that is held in DC every year.
Well tomorrow Bruce runs in his second Indianapolis Mini Marathon. He said this morning he is getting nervous. I know he will do fine. He is ready for it. He has stayed on his training schedule so I know he will be fine.
So today I am off to clean grandma's house and then tonight we will go to the pasta dinner for the mini. Hope you all have a great weekend!!  4月21日 Spring is here!!!Wow I do believe this might be the longest I have ever gone without blogging! Sorry bout that!
Yes we are all alive and well. Just very busy.Baseball season and track season are here and so my days are no longer my own. I spend them in the van driving from one event to the next. I love it but by the time it all is coming to an end I will be ready. Both boys are playing baseball this year and so Bruce and I will be running between two fields trying to get it all in. Some nights Tyler will be running track and changing in the van as I am racing to the baseball field. Bruce is coaching Bryce's team so most nights he will already be there. And through it all Katie will be complaining that she doesn't want to go!
Speaking of Katie she will be done with tutoring after this week. She likes her tutor and it has helped her tremendously but we will both be glad not to have to go anymore. She is not eligible for this program next year so this really is it. I have a meeting with the assistant principle of the middle school in a week to discuss Katie moving up, seeing what programs are available to her and so on. I hope it is a smooth tranfer for her. I am a bit nervous by all of it.
Saturday night I had a Taste of Home Entertaining Party at my house. It was a lot of fun. I had never had a home party before but I think it went well. I like the products that they sell but they are alittle pricey. The shipping on top of the tax was what was bad. If we could just buy the product then that would have been alright.
Well I need to get off of here and get my shower. I need to clean grandma's house today and I haven't been feeling to well so it may take me awhile. I think my allergies are messing with my head. I feel so light headed and out of it. I am sneezing and have body aches too. I told Bruce last night that I felt really weird at the party...almost like it was an out of body experience. I am starting to remember things about the night but don't feel like I was there. Does that make any sense?
Oh and another thing before I go...we had an Earthquake on Friday! I know many of you probably felt it where you are too. Oh and one more thing Tyler got his braces off! He looks so good! I cannot believe that it has been alittle over a year since he had them put on and now they are off. He has this really cool retainer that you cannot see. It just fits over his teeth.
Ok now I am really going. I will get by to visit you all soon I promise! Have a great day!! 3月26日 Ugh! I am so ready for March to be OVER!It has been one thing after another this month! First of all our very good friend and neighbor Marge passed away. It has been very hard on all of us especially the kids. My poor children have been to three visitation/funerals in six months! I pray that we are done for this year. I truly do not know how much more they can take. Tyler is having a very hard time with Marge's death. Marge was 83 but this came unexpectedly and so soon after our friend and neighbor Tina... Marge and her husband Bob have been our wonderful friends and neighbors for almost nine years. They have watched our children grow up and treated us just like family and us them. In fact the kids call them grandma and grandpa:) We loved Marge very much and she will be missed.
 Secondly we bought a new van...did I tell you all about that?
I can't remember the last time I blogged! Anyway, I went to the BMV to transfer my plate from my old van to my new one and they can't do it because MY plate is registered to someone else and someone else's car!!! Somewhere between me renewing last October and now it got screwed up in their system. I think when this other person went in to get their plate they typed in the wrong plate number for him and accidently used mine and it overroad my plate and gave the number to him! They said I was lucky I didn't get stopped by the police or they would have impounded my van! I told them THEY were lucky I didn't get stopped cause I would have sued!! So I am driving around with a temorary plate on my van STILL. I just called the BMV because I have not heard anything in twelve days and the fee's that they tried to charge me on the day that I went in to do all of this and found out that it was messed up did not get reversed off of my credit card like they said they were!! Basically they have charged me someone else's plate fee and not reversed it yet!! And finally...can anyone help me...my Folders on my computer on my MSN email page have disappeared! They were there Friday morning and Friday night they were gone. All of them...with tons of emails in them! My In Box and Out Box and all of those are still there...the ones that are standard but the one that I created to save read emails in are all gone. I have looked everywhere and so has Support. They have no answers for me. Has this ever happened to any of you? Of course if I could get this thing to back up I could just restore them but I can't get it to take a disk. It keeps telling me to insert a floppy! My gosh who uses those anymore??
*sigh* I'm so sorry that I don't have better news. Seems like I am always such a downer these days. Ok, well I am off. I hope you all have a great day!!3月9日 I am sooo ready for Spring!!!I thought I would brighten it up a bit in here and make it alittle Springy. I am also blogging at night! I never do that but my "other" site that I play on is running VERY slow right now.
I really want it to warm up. I am so blah and tired of the cold. I just don't want to do anything but goof around on the computer or read...which leads to napping.
I have to force myself to go work out at least once a week and thats only because I hate that I am paying all of that money to belong to Curves and not using it. My membership is up at the beginning of April though and I am ready. I want to get back outside and get walking!Hmm, I will need to check and see if I have any updated pics of the basement and post those. We haven't done to much the last couple of weekends because we have been doing other things but it is still coming along.
It seems like we are always busy but I cannot think of what to tell you we have been doing! So I guess I will just head off to visit you all then I have to finish up my laundry and head off to bed.3月3日 Yeah for my kids!!!Friday was an awesome day!
Bruce and I along with 12 other Jazz Band parents, 19 Jazz Band kids and the director took a Turner bus to the Louisville Jazz Festival! It was a very long day as we left and 8am and didn't return until midnight but it was a great day! Our kids played great! In fact they were the only Middle School there...they were playing against High School and College kids and they won the distinct honor of being invited back to be the opening band for the Jazz Concert that night! These were professional jazz musicians in a payed concert and our kids were up on stage playing with them! It was so cool!! I will post pics.Also, when we got home on Friday night laying on our table was a letter from Kaite's school telling us that she has been chosen to represent our elementary school in meeting the Mayor and receiving the Outstanding Citizenship Award for 2008!!
I am so proud of my gang!!Let's see it has been awhile since I have blogged. The basement is still coming along. We hit a snag with one wall and it is taking us sometime to figure it out but we will. Oh and we bought a new van!!
Well it's new to us...it's a red 2006 Town and Country and I just love it! Well except for the day I was stranded at Lowes for over an hour waiting on tow truck because it wouldn't start! All is well now but I was really freaking out then. We had only had it 10 days so needless to say I was not happy. Evidently the "brain box" was cracked and when I took it through the car wash that morning water got into it and shorted the van out. I don't know how the crack got there as the van has never been wrecked. Everything was covered under warrenty so hopefully we are good to go now! Hmm, also this past week I went to a Taste of Home Cooking Show with Terre. I had never been to one before and really liked it. It inspired me to cook better and more often. I just haven't started yet.
Yesterday was so beautiful here and today it's raining and supposed to cool off again. I am soooo ready for Spring!! Ok off to see what you all have been up to! 2月12日 Two hour school delays-YUCK!!We have had more two hour school delays this year and last then I think we have EVER had! Yes, we actually get to sleep in but it makes the morning harder in my opinion. The kids-and I mean KATIE!-get to watching TV and then don't want to get ready for school and makes everyone run late. I think Tyler may have been late today because I dropped Katie off first for Safety Patrol. I hope they don't make him get a tardy slip. There were still a lot of kids going in when I dropped him off but he had to go to the Health office for a sick slip because he missed yesterday.
Tyler and Bryce were sick again Sunday and Monday. This time they had fevers of 103., bodyaches and cough. Bryce also had diarrhea. It has just been a horrible winter for us!
I have three Dental Ed days down and two more to go. I don't know why I dread them so much I really enjoy the kids. I am just such a home body!
I didn't end up going to MNO last Friday because I was sick with a cold and I am not going to go for the Mani/Pedicure today either. I am just to cold and I really don't have the money right now. I didn't get my house cleaning job done last Friday because of my Dental Ed day and then the boys got sick yesterday which I had rescheduled it for. Thats my fun money so since I didn't work, I don't get to have fun!I need to get out of this funk I am in. I need to clean my house! Do you all remember when I would post "cleaned house today"? Notice that I don't do that anymore? Because I don't clean anymore and I hate it! I feel like such a slob.
Let's see is there anything positive to say. hmmm. Bryce has his last basketball game on Friday night and we are going out for pizza with the team. Next is baseball and Tyler has decided that he wants to play this year too so it is going to cost us over $100 for both of them to play! Oh wait-that's complaining again. Isn't it?
Well I am off to see what you all are up to! I will post somemore basement pics here in a bit. We have two walls up now!!
