1 more wake up!

And I have exactly 2 minutes to blog today!

I walked in on these 2 the other morning, so quiet I thought they were still sleeping, face to face whispering some sort of sister secret. Don't move! I shouted, and ran for the camera. They moved. But the're still cute.

C learned contractions in school this week.

Examples, Are not = aren't, teenager = t'nanger

That's my girl!

5 - more - days - !

This will be short because I'm off to do research. Caitlin had a fabulous birthday weekend. Jam packed with stuff and friends. She loved her presents. She thought the entire Bunk with the Beassts event was all about her. She drank root beer from the bottle, keeping the empties in her room (something to do with Drake and Josh? I'm not sure.) Anyhow, fun was had by all!

She is 8
and I can hardly believe it.

Do You feel LuckY?

This was alittle scary. Apparently I'm a real movie buff. Who knew. But fun if you like quizzes or movie trivia. (Most of the movies they referenced I have seen dozens of times. . . . talk about a miss spent youth!)

Make that 6!

Count down to fall break day 6 will be another ridiculously busy day! An example; My boss lady is coming to pick up my kids to take them to school in the morning. I get to go to a seminar - BUT, I have to leave the seminar 1/2 an hour early to get back and cover for 3 other people - and it just keeps going like that until September 29th! It's almost laughable. Except for the fact that my eyelid is twitching, which always makes me feel like I'm about to have a psychotic episode. . .

Tonight I found out I misunderstood our first writing assignment, meaning I haven't technically started it yet. So I have 1 week instead of 3. (And I wasn't even stoned during class.)

Hopefully my almost 8 year old daughter will forgive me for not being able to purchase donuts tomorrow morning - (another long story) - for her birthday treat snack. Instead, I got the frowned-upon frosted sprinkle cookies. You know, the REALLY icky ones that leave crap all over the carpet? Hopefully this will go by unnoticed so that I won't have to give her the "you ungrateful little ... kid" speech at 7 am in the morning.

Daisy update! AT did a lovely job today of not sticking her foot in her mouth EVEN THOUGH there where 2 great big wide openings in which to insert a humorous pagan gods/goddess comment at the start up meeting. Way to go AT !

10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 7 more days until fall break!

OK, I was going to update my blog, but thanks to MC I've been ring shopping through the goodwiccan.com site! Now I've blown my morning! Well, at least the count down is up,

and the only thing I was chastised about was the word "farts"

What's More Fun than a Bus load of 4th Graders?

What's More Fun than a Bus load of 4th Graders?
A bus load of 4th graders going to the Capitol and Molly Brown house with me on it!




With child like wonder, I was able to enjoy what almost amounted to a day off, be inspired with Victorian decorating ideas, reminisce about hearing the Molly Brown story for the first time as a girl, and brush up on my Colorado history; all in one day.
Last years field trips were alittle more . . .lively?, panicy?, worriridden?, harrowing.
My how my job has changed with the moving away of one family.

GO Broncos!

Denver has rabid Bronco fans. Maybe that's why I usually ignore the whole football thing. That and having girls, and being blessed with a husband who could careless too. That being said, we went to a Bronco party to watch the game this weekend and it was really fun! It's so much more interesting when there's a room full of people cheering or booing.

So now I'm going to give myself a little pep talk. It's time to get it in gear. I didn't go for a walk this morning - that was a missed opportunity! Get your butt out of bed tomorrow - if your lucky enough to have the hub home, and just go. Now at lunch, you need to wrap and hide Caitlin's stuff, and put the other 4 birthday presents away somewhere and lock the door!

• (The story behind this would be the girls taking one of the webkinz out - that we bought for the half dozen upcoming birthdays - leaving it unattended and the dog chewed it up. While I wasn't looking for a whole ten seconds.)

Or, maybe you should go to the library and study. You can start that tomorrow. OK, get upstairs and get the fire started under those girlies - breakfast isn't going to make itself. MOVE MOVE MOVE. Did I sound like coach Shanahan? That's ok, he reminds me of GWBush, only alittle more professional... and leather saddle bag tan these days. wow

Oh, and to all you slacker bloggers out there - get to it! Those posts aren't going to type themselves.
