Moving Up In The World

I am....moving up in the world. I got the all new highly impressive Evo HTC 4G Shift this weekend. I hope I got all of that right...lol. It is way too smart for me. I am trying (and doing remarkably well I might add)to figure it all out. it is really cool. I went to get a case for it Sunday and it is so new that they haven't even received the cases yet.

Wordless Weds.

Manic Monday

It might snow today. So, everything is of course depending on that one factor. life shuts down around here if it snows and the temp is below freezing. The kids will not have school and that changes everything. I am supposed to get back to Zumba today. We shall see.
We had a lovely weekend as I hope everyone in blogville did. Hope everyone has a great week too!

The Difference a Day Makes.

My wonderful children let us sleep in yesterday. The whole day was quite blissful. Everyone got along and played well together. We took the kids to Pops and had just a great family day. THEN today they wake up cross and fighting. What happened? Kylee already got grounded by Lee Jay and we haven't even made it to church yet. Good grief!!

1.What is your current favorite book, and why?
I am completely engrossed in the 6th book of the Outlander series by Diana Gibaldon. The title is The Fiery Cross. I cannot stop reading it! They are very deep into Scottish history and now Scottish immigrants to the early American colonies still under British control. the cool twist is somehow the main character is able to time travel between THE 1770'S AND 1970'S.


2. Do you go to the dentist regularly?
Yes..and the orthodontist since I have had braces for 6 months now. Only 6 more months to go!


3. What is your worst memory from High School?
The whole 4 years..lol


4. What do you hope to be remembered for in your life?
Wow. I want to be remembered as a genuine friend and a kind loving person.


5. Are you superstitious or do you have any superstitions?
None what so ever!

Congratulations to My Geography Bee Girl!

Kylee won 2nd place in the geography bee at her school today. So very proud of our girl. They were really hard and confusing questions too. Congratulations honey!!!!!

SRATCH THAT!!!

Ok...well, I thought today was an amazing planned out and going my way kind of day...until school called and my little one is waiting patiently for me to bring him his lunch...oops..sorry baby!

Tackle it Tuesday-Back To School Day.

I am so proud of myself! I woke up early enough to have a cup of tea and read a chapter in my book then to boil eggs and make waffles for breakfast and get all 3 kids bathed and dressed in time for school. Best of all...not once did I feel crunched for time...all went quite smoothly.

The plan today is to get the house back in order. I had originally planned on finishing up laundry (that was started yesterday) and cleaning the house. Now, I am being realistic with my set goal and thinking I will not have time for all of that...so I am giving myself 2 days to finish the assigned tasks. Such a good feeling getting back to normalcy after the month long holiday. The only problem is my house always feels so bare and empty after taking all the holiday decor down. Now, I need to go shopping. I love having those two words in the same sentence. Need and Shopping. I don't see those two together very often so when I do it makes me giddy.

So now I have a plan for the rest of the week as well. Shopping for home decor...yeah! What a great week it is shaping up to be.

Party Of Five: Happy New Year!

Party Of Five: Happy New Year!: "Welcome 2011! How crazy is that? Can it really already be 2011? Remember being little and thinking that time dragged on and on? I can think ..."

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2011! How crazy is that? Can it really already be 2011? Remember being little and thinking that time dragged on and on? I can think of many times when I thought 30 minutes was a never ending abyss that I would never make it out of! Today I cannot seem to bargain for 30 minutes to sit and have a cup of coffee and type on my blog. Ironic or some cheap trick from the heaven's above?

I am happy to see 2011 though. I am happy to see my children grow into young people that seem to want and need a purpose as well as striving to search for a meaning in life. They are changing before my very eyes. They are marching right along with time itself. I really wish I had a rewind and fast forward button for our lives! Just to stop and savor each moment a little bit more.

So here's to savoring, striving for, enjoying, remembering and making this year- 2011- last a little longer and always to remain a perfect memory to look back on in our minds forever. We can always rewind a enjoy a memory again and again in our minds, right?
