I feel SPECIAL!

So checking out others blogs in the past week, I was SHOCKED to see MY name, yes MY little name......  2 of my bloggy friends took the ABC's of me thingy and ran with it!

Thanks to I'd go anywhere for your smile and Hillary over at The Whole FamDamily  You made my day!  I have gotta say. Thanks for giving me a SHOUT OUT!

It is so fun to get to know other bloggers.  To see that we have so much in common. Thanks girlies for  showing me the LOVE :)  

Hello out there....

Come follow me :)

 

Oh I am a HAPPY girl....

MY Homework

Kelsee had homework from last week that had to be turned in on Tues morning.... so you know what I was doing Sunday night and monday????

 

Her homework was to come up with a restaurant menu, that had a Fairy Tale based name.  ALL the items on the menu (15+, NOT including drinks) HAD to be Fairy Tale based names (for example, 3 Little Pigs breakfast) OH! and don't forget.... that 2nd grader needs to have colored pictures for EACH menu item AND it has to be typed on the computer.  (are you kidding me?  She is 7.  Do you really think that she can make something look good and be turned in for a grade, all on her own????)  

 

And then to top it off she had to have prices for each item.  Take 4 orders and then add and total the orders. WOW! That was enough homework for a couple weeks, but she also had to read 4 books.

Have you ever sat down with a 2nd grader to do homework??? Let me just say, it was VERY challenging!  I sat down every night with her last week and then after about 45 minutes gave up because I was doing all the work anyways.

 

Well, after staying up late printing up the menu lists and pictures we FINALLY finished it, in the nick of time, Tues morning.... just before she walked out the door for school.  OH don't you worry, I was so proud of MY HOMEWORK, I took pictures to share with ya'll.  Tell me what you think...

so I really hope I get a good grade on MY homework!  So glad we are done with it.....

Friday Confessional

Hard to believe it's FRIDAY again! Wow this last week was a whirlwind!

 So here we go....

I CONFESS... I am birthday 'd OUT!  I have had 2 girls Birthday's within the last week and now still have a sleepover/bowling party for my oldest (since her bday was wednesday and we could "celebrate" then) tonite -tomorrow.  OH THE JOYS!

I CONFESS... that I am STILL ticked at my hubby over MONEY! (read about it here)

I CONFESS... that I am stressed and NEED a break!

I CONFESS... my marine's monitor, wants him in MICHIGAN by April 30th.... I don't see how that is even possible!  That means I have LOTS of CRAPOLA to do in the next Month! YA that's right I said  "I" not my marine.  He just sits back and relaxes... oh and has to do his "check out" crap.

I CONFESS.... I am not being the most positive right now.  But I had BIG plans to go to Womens Conference in Utah the last weekend in April and now I am FEARING that I am NOT going to be able to make it there.  I am NOT wanting to miss out since ALL of my sisters (well all but the 1 who wants NOTHING to do with us)  and my mom will be there.  This will be the 1st time we've been together in YEARS!

I CONFESS... I am going to TRY to be POSITIVE about all this...Everything happens for a reason, right? 

To end on a GOOD note though....

I CONFESS that Hilary over at the The Whole FamDamily made my morning!  I was checking my blogs, like always, and she posted about ME :)  How exciting!  She took my ABC's of me and did her own!  WOW! Do I feel special so now on with my day!  Thanks HILARY for making it start off GREAT!
