Olympics

I feel like all I am doing lately is watching the olympics, don't get me wrong I love watching most of it, but it is getting pretty draining. And it tooks up way too much freakin' space on the dvr...leaves no room for my days of our lives and jon & kate plus 8...hahaha. We did get away from the tv for most of the wkend to clean out the g-parent's (graff) house since they have moved into Montereau (sp?) We had a good time with the fam...but now my sinuses are killing me from all the dust and random trash stashed in random places throughout the house. We are now back to watching the olympics, track and field, (jeremy's fav being a runner and all) not my fav, but it's ok. Don't feel like going to school tomorrow, but I have to, so therefore I must go to bed now. Goodnite all,

About the First Day of School

Ok, so you think you only have so many 1st days of school in your life that you must suffer through...well it's my personal self choice of hell FOREVER. I don't know why I get so freakin' anxious, nervous, nauseated, etc... but it happens every year. Although I do have to say that this year the first day went rather smoothly...so much so that I am left wondering what I forgot and where...a child in the bathroom, didn't explain the agenda, recess, who knows at this point honestly. I haven't got all their faces down yet, or their parents, so maybe someone went home with the wrong adult...haha...not really funny. The personal hell includes all of these wonderings and more...it also involves children not able to tie shoes, button and unbutton pants (sometimes), sharpen pencils, read instructions and the agenda, and they don't know where everything is in the room. I mean I just groomed and molded 22 fantastic children to do all those things by themselves including reading like there is no tomorrow, and now alas I am back to babies again and it is THE hardest thing to revert my mind to where it needs to be to accept these new kiddos. I have to bring the patience to the forefront and times it by a million, and also remember to repeat myself a gajillion times....aargghhh! If you would like to know more about the first few days of school feel free to stop by for an in person experience (& see how much patience you have)...we love visitors!

About Breaking Dawn


I can't find the words for how phenominal this book is. (or the series for that matter) I read it in four days...I was totally worthless after Friday the 1st at Midnight (yes Nat and Jennifer and I went to B&N) until I finished the book. It was one of those where you want so desperately to finish the entire saga, and yet want it to go on forever (but that would be silly). Although I am totally happy with the way everything ended, and can't wait to see what types of things Stephenie Meyer will think to write about next.

Breaking Dawn and Starting School

Between these two things I have no time to blog, so this is all you get for now...talk to you in a week or so. But loved the book and excited for a new group of kiddos!
