I had a wonderful weekend with 5 of my high school girlfriends. And there is something about women that you've known for over half of your life. There is no pretense, no falsehoods; only genuine love, affection, concern and a rich history that can not be replaced even with your husband ( Read more... )

I just have to gush a little bit. My daughter is a wonderful, smart little girl, but struggled all through first grade with math. It was something she is very sensitive about, so Corey and I try to make it as fun and easy as we can for her. In second grade, they have to have "math minutes" each day to help them with their math facts. For the ( Read more... )

I can't believe that summer vacation is nearly over, and there is so much I want to do yet with the kids! We've hit plenty of water parks, but there is so much more I wanted to do with them. They assure me that they've had a great summer, and I have to totally agree. I am not ready at all for them to go back to school in 2 weeks ( Read more... )

I finished school for the summer!!! I had a Chemical Health test today, and now I am school free until Sept. 10. It is a little unsettling feeling, because it has been such a huge part of my life, daily activities, everything since last Sept. Only 12 more classes and student teaching, and I'm ready to be a teacher on my own ( Read more... )

OK, I am not as good at entering as alot of the rest of you are, but I'm going to start trying. So, here is where I vent a little and whine, because face it, if you are a mom, everyone whines to you but never listens when you need to!!! I have had a crazy from hell week, and I don't even have school this weekend. Just real life stuff as a mom ( Read more... )

I'm watching the game, trying not to scream so everyone in Green Bay can hear me (I live 5 hours away!) b/c "The Man" (aka Brett Favre)is not having his best game so far. My defense is doing OK, but not The Man. Top it off with Randy Moss' disgusting act after his last TD, that just pisses me off all the more that I do NOT want the Vikings to win ( Read more... )

After watching Alias again last night with hubby, I realized that I was a little harsh on the season premiere ep, especially the S/V moments. Maybe it was because I had been watching S1 and S2 goodness, that made me just think that it would be back to the way it was then, not like the awkwardness of S3 in the few wonderful S/V moments we had last ( Read more... )

Headed back to school today; felt great, even if I didn't want to get up at 6:45 to spend the day there! Each time I am at class, I am more anxious to get out there in the classroom ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone for being patient while I figure all of this out. Laura was tutoring me last night on how to add things, what to do to get set up and I'm hoping later today to be able to play around and add fun things. Right now I am sitting with my hair highlighting (not sure this is something that should be done at home ALONE) and taking ( Read more... )

Here I am, a newbie to lj. Bear with me as I figure out what the heck I am doing!
