It's been a while....

since I wrote anything. Boy I am a slacker. Since my last entry, we bought a house. I like it. It is really cute and it finally feels like home. I would post a pic , but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Brian was retired and is now working a gs job. He has been doing alright. It has been 3 weeks since school ended. I have got nothing accomplished. I had to put my dog down and have found a puppy. We get to pick her up July 12. Brian wasn't overly thrilled about a puppy, but I think it was because I didn't ask him outright about it. He knew, but didn't get it. I guess it's a man thing. He has been a bit distant lately. I think he is adjusting to all the change that has been going on lately. Can't really get mad at him. A lot has happened.

On another note......There is something I would love to do. I would love to just hang out with my sister. (I know she will be reading this and will now have a big head. If you see her, move over so there is room for her head to pass!) I wish we lived closer to each other. It would be nice to go do things together. I tried to get her to come out here this summer. Even threw the beach in there, but no go. Oh well, maybe next year.

Devin is now 12 and is this moody pre-teen. I don't remember being that moody. She doesn't want to do much of anything. She about looks me in the eye. I feel so short next to her. Megan is as head-strong as ever. She does what she does and there isn't much you can do to change it. She is in swimming lessons and is not wanting to go. If she doesn't feel like doing something, she is not the most fun to be around.

Oh well, I will try not to let 6 months pass before the next entry. Later.....

My Friend

I have a friend that will be moving soon. I really hate thinking about it. I will sorely miss her. She accepts me for who I am and pushes me to my limits without making me feel bad about myself. She understands me and all of my little quirks. She has introduced me to a side of the world (the fancy side) that I thought I would never be a part of. I remember the first time I met her. She was painting in her room. We were both at new teacher orientation and she would not let me sit by myself. She made me come sit with all the new teachers at my school. She also had my oldest in her class. She brought her out of her shell as she has with me. And her family has let me into their lives and they have become like an extended family. Sarah, I will miss you!

The weekend can't come fast enough!

I am so ready for the weekend. Grades are due this week and it is always hectic trying to get all of the grades done and recorded. Usually, your kids will not let you work and as hard as you try, you get nothing accomplished. At least tomorrow the kids won't be there and I can get some work done. I am so tired of the kids not doing their work. I tore into them today about it. They don't really understand how bad it is. AHHHHH!!!!!! AND.......testing is just around the corner. what fun! Well, yall have a good day tomorrow.

Monday, Monday

Boy today is Monday. I am so tired. My legs hurt today. I am not used to walking so much since I haven't been able to walk much. I had a good day today, though. My kids were not bad today in class. I have some papers to grade, :-(

It is also a sad day. My oldest daughter is only a few inches shorter than me. Pretty soon, I will be looking up at my baby. I realized yesterday that I still haven't grown up!! Man, she makes me feel short.

Well, I need to get to dinner. Later!
