One week left!!

Can you tell that I’m excited?? The kids have only one week left until they go back to school and I couldn’t be happier!! This has been a very long summer. These two kids have spent most of their summer fighting and I haven’t been able to get very much done these past couple of months. I have a couple of quilting jobs that I really need to get a start on. But having two kids underfoot has prevented me from getting started. But in one week they will be back in school and I can haul out my sewing machine once again.

Last few days of peace

June 23rd, 2010 -- Posted in Kids | No Comments »

Well the countdown is on. Friday afternoon the kids will be out of school for their summer vacation. What this means for me is that in two and a half day’s time, I will have a couple of kids home for a couple of months and will get the pleasure of listening to them fight every day. If things go the way they normally do with these two kids, by the end of the summer I will be looking at some Branson vacation packages just to recharge my batteries. Oh well, it’s going to happen so I’m just going to enjoy my last few days of peace to the fullest.

She made honors!

June 21st, 2010 -- Posted in Kids, School | No Comments »

My daughter is just finishing up grade 6 and we just found out that she made the honor roll! Thursday night is her awards dinner so she will be receiving her certificate then. I guess now I’ll have to find one of our digital cameras to be able to take some pictures at this event. I am so proud of her! She worked really hard all year and I am quite happy to see all her efforts pay off this way. I can’t wait to see her on Thursday night receive her certificate!

Family fun day

June 4th, 2010 -- Posted in Kids, School | No Comments »

Tomorrow is our annual family fun day at my son’s elementary school. Both the kids are quite excited about this. A couple of years ago we took them to this event and they both had a blast. This is why they are both looking forward to the day. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we don’t get the rain that they are predicting. This would really spoil the fun. If we do get the rain we’re supposed too, we probably won’t go. So for the kid’s sake, I really hope the rain holds off for awhile.

School year ending

May 26th, 2010 -- Posted in Kids, School | No Comments »

I honestly can’t believe that a year of school is almost behind us once again. And… once again this year both of the kids did excellent. As of right now they will both be passing their grades and my daughter has even made the honor roll this year as well. Pretty impressive I would have to say. So now I’ve got to start looking for grading presents. My daughter would love to receive a horse tack or anything to do with horses and my son is quite interested in sports. So I think coming up with a suitable grading present for both shouldn’t be too much of a chore this year. Now all I have to do is get off my butt and do it.

On the back stretch

May 17th, 2010 -- Posted in Kids, School | No Comments »

I can’t believe that the kids only have four weeks of school left before summer vacation. Man… this school year went by so fast. All in all both kids had a great year! My daughter enjoyed her first year of middle school and made some pretty decent marks. My son will be finishing grade four and will be in his final year of elementary school next year. Where does the time go? Soon they will have their summer break and it won’t be any time at all before I’ll be posting all about their back to school adventures.

Still sick

April 30th, 2010 -- Posted in Health, Kids | No Comments »

Well it’s Friday and I still have my little fellow home with me. I guess this thing really took a hold of him and it doesn’t want to let him go. He has spent the last week coughing and that means at night time as well. So the entire family, himself included, hasn’t been getting a lot of sleep these days. I’m so tired, that I can barely see straight. It’s days like today that I wish I could afford Orlando vacation packages to just be able to run away and relax. But that’s not the case so I guess until this child stops coughing so much I guess I’ll just have deal with the lack of sleep that is quite rampant in my house these days.

Long week….

April 27th, 2010 -- Posted in Health, Kids | No Comments »

Yes I realize that today is only Tuesday but I have put in a very long week already. I have had a nine year old home sick and I really think he is the world’s worst patient. He really is sick and I know I should cut him some slack, but man… he is starting to get on my last nerve. I really wish he had a click here button on his shirt so I could turn him off for a little while, but nope that’s not going to happen. But he now has medicine so hopefully this child will be back in school tomorrow or the next day.

Back to school!

March 8th, 2010 -- Posted in Kids, Life, School | No Comments »

Yay! March break it over. What a long week! Last week both the kids were home and I have to say, that this was probably the longest week of my life. I normally don’t look forward to Monday mornings but this morning, you couldn’t keep me in bed. Now with both kids out of the house, I can finally get cracking on all my work that needs to be done. I have a lot of housework to do, need to do some blogging, write some articles on personalized gifts and do some grocery shopping. But even knowing all this work lies ahead of me, I’m still happy that it’s finally Monday!

Not much accomplished this week

March 5th, 2010 -- Posted in Home, Kids | No Comments »

This past week has been a really bad week. My two youngest kids were home from school all week for their school’s March break. Well I’ve got to tell you, that this was not fun. They fought the entire week and honestly, I am seriously exhausted. Because of all this fighting I wasn’t able to get anything accomplished this week. I just couldn’t concentrate on anything. I had all sorts of plans for this week and every one of them got pushed to the wayside. I really wanted to re-do my living room, but couldn’t even find the strength to dust my tv stands. Thankfully the end of the week is in sight and in a couple of days these two will be back in school. Maybe then I’ll be able to get a little bit more done around here.
