hmmm??

I'm just looking at my blogger background.. I don't know what happened and I have no idea how to fix it!! B's Party was a wonderful success!! So many great kids with GREAT manners! B does have a great group of buddies and I LOVE seeing my son so happy and so kind to all his friends. He was REALLY excellent about going from group to group and playing with everyone!! He said it was hard work but he wanted to make sure he didn't leave anyone out!!! I'm very proud of him.

He got plenty of great gifts and he had told me before the party that if he got any repeats he thought he might donate his toys to kids who don't have any instead of exchanges for new ones.. talk about a great heart!! :) I think I did something right :) !!

I will post some pics on my facebook soon!!

Tomorrow will be a VERY LAZY DAY.. I plan on doing nothing but sitting in my chair.. attempting to get the puppy to go outside.. . and watching TV and messing around on the computer. .maybe trying to start some scrap booking stuff. (computer scrapbooking).. :)

B's Kid Party

Today is B's "kid" Birthday party!!! I am excited to see him play with his friends. They are going swimming and hopefully all stays under control :) It's a lot of 10 year olds in one place ! :)

J-B wanted to invite J1 and J2.. but I said with the Tito on the way that it may not be great timing for an airplane trip :) (hee hee) ....

I really don't have a whole lot to report! Wish I had more.. but I thought I would check in!! :)

Okay today

I don't have much to say.. busy with the new puppy, getting the kids back in the swing of things, and doing house stuff as usual.. feeling pretty blah.. and unappreciated.. but oh well.. I guess that happens sometimes. I know the people I live with love me very much and I am thankful for that.. I just wish that they said THANK YOU to me once and a while.. and I don't just mean hubby.. I mean the kids too!! :) I'll get over it..

I'm loving my new classroom. It's been really easy this week because I only have one student.. that might be a thorn in my side next week when the other student comes in.. Why?? Because the first one has gotten one on one attention for a week and HE'S LOVIN' IT!! :) Oh well.. I will get through that too!! This is what I want to do.. so I actually love getting up to go to work in the morning.. I just need to get back on my schedule of going to work!! :)

I hope everyone else is doing well.. J- I hope you are feeling less frustrated!!

Try Again

So, I tried to post this a few days ago, but something went haywire.. so I'm back again to try. New Years Eve was WONDERFUL.. WE got to catch up with our "Summer Friends" aka Bike racing people... that was a blast! We are all like one big happy family! I really miss them in the winter!

Our puppy comes tomorrow! We are still debating on names. I will be sure to post a pic asap, if not here, on my facebook page for sure!! If you have any suggesstions for dog names.. PLEASE LET ME KNOW! :) So far on the list we have Abby, Jersey, Maisy, Seether, I think that's it for now...

I'm missing my little man. He is with Bio-Dad and of course Bio-Dad won't let me speak to him. Even though it is in our papers that he has to allow me to have "REASONABLE" contact. I let him speak to B Every other day, if not every day, and this is the thanks I get. Just one more note to write down for the judge.. IF I DECIDE TO GO BACK.. I just miss the little guy so much and Bio-Dad is probably not even telling him that I have called. In Bio-Dad's words... "If he asks to call you, that's when I'll let him call." WHATEVER!! .. I get to see him Sunday.. so only 2 more days!

Other than the short paragraph above, everything is good. I go back to work Monday. I am actually looking forward to it because I get to start teaching the primary class!! woo hoo!! I'm lovin' it!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!

Lots of Love, Lots of Toys, Brand New Puppy on the Way

Hello All!! Christmas was a success!! B is now 10 years old and loving it. He got an IPOD for his birthday/Christmas from my brother. It is his FAVORITE gift. He loves it and hasn't put it down!! :)

C got lots of art supplies which is exactly what he wanted along with some of his OWN legos and K'Nex!!


I'm doing well.. My mom got me a COACH purse .. which is just awesome of her!! We did a grab bag with my family this year and my grab bag person got me a Sirius Radio.. which is what I wanted!! Yea me!! :)

R got what he wanted.. Harley Davidson things/gift cards!!


The puppy did not arrive today, but will be arriving next Saturday. We were hoping she would come today, but the breeder had a water main break at her house, so she was unable to bring the puppies out here for us to choose from :( .. Oh well.. Next Saturday will have to do. We were hoping for today because we are home for the next week and we can get into training mode while we are here!! but.. . whatchya gonna do.. you know??? :)

I posted some pics on my facebook page, but I can't do it here as I am on R's computer because mine is hopefully being fixed by my mommy!!!! She did tell me I needed to get a hard drive to back up my computer or it will crash.. VERY SOON!! :) eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk!!

Well, I'm off for the night!! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.. and will have a Very Happy NEW YEAR!! :)

My ear hurts

Hey there. Had a snow day today. It was boring.. . I would have rather been in school and not had to make up the day at the end of the year. I don't have much to say.. just thought I would check in!! So, Hello all! :)

Rough Monday, Decent Tuesday

So Yesterday just sucked. I am just going to say it like that... I'll list the reasons why -

1) My friend MM got into a car accident. Thank goodness she is okay, but she is paying for it in her sore body today.

2) My printer broke - It is only about 6 months old.. and it popped a spring!! I am ticked about that but I don't feel like sitting on the phone and waiting for some tech person to talk to.. they'll probably tell me that that isn't covered in the warranty.. Maybe I'll call tomorrow

3) R called.. He's in Minnesota this week.. The machine he was suppossed to be working on broke.. ugh!!

4) Last, but not least.. My mom broke her arm. She seems to have this problem every five years. Shortly after B was born, she broke her foot, but walking down the steps at her work. 5 Years ago she broke BOTH of her arms running out to beat the garage before the garage door closed. Yesterday, She was trying to 'carefully' get the mail with all the ice that is falling around here, but ended up slipping and landing on her arm. It is not a pretty break.. BUT, the doctor thinks if she keeps her arm still (and they are not going to cast it) that it could heal okay. She is out of work for 4 WEEKS THOUGH!! That's a long time. I should also mention that she got shingles a few days before Thanksgiving so she is in a lot of pain from that... Ugh!! My poor mom and I haven't been able to go give her a big hug because the weather here is ICY!!

So, that was my yesterday. Today has not been so bad. They let us out of work at 1pm today to make sure everyone got home safe. The students got sent home a little before that. B was suppossed to go with Bio-Dad. .I tried to call him all day to see if he wanted to switch days with the bad weather but did not call me back until 5:15.. at that point.. I said, "no" because he had all day to call me and he waits until I pick B up from schoool in tears because his father didn't show and didn't even call! He's such a jerk. B and I rocked it out on Guitar Hero III though so we had a good time!

Other than that, just chillin' by my Christmas tree and watching some tv.. it's nice to be/feel relaxed for once :)
