Last Weekend of Summer
09/20/2010 09:38
We still have 2 days of summer left and my kids have already started making their Christmas lists. I think it's safe to say they're even more ready for the seasons to change than I am. Even with Fall fast approaching, it's still in the mid-90s here, so we spent the weekend camping...
Sayanora Summer, Hola Fall

I know we technically have a couple of weeks left in summer, but for the most part, once Labor Day is over, its days are numbered. I, for one, am welcoming the season change. First of all, I'm a fall baby. Second, these 90 plus degree temps are killers. And third, Fall means...
And we're back...

I'm back from my unintended hiatus. Summer ended, and school has started...for everyone. Every day I homeschool Victoria and Sophie from 8-12. Then I feed them lunch, study for a couple of hours for my classes, and pick Trev up from school. Mondays Vic has gymnastics, Tues...
Goodbye Fatty

I discovered the best weight loss tool ever. My kids. I don't know why I haven't tried this before. You see, I've been trying to lose weight over the last few weeks, and it's been slow but steady. I recently began incorporating exercise, because I'm not one of the lucky ones...
Weekend Getaway

This weekend we visited Wesley's Mecca- Athens, GA: Home of the Georgia Bulldogs. Things have been extra stressful lately- I've been home with the kids the entire summer, and everyone seems to be going stir crazy. School is starting next week, so I decided we needed to get away...
First Haircut

For some reason I've been putting off cutting Sophie's hair for a while now. For one, she's a girl. Two, I didn't think she would hold still long enough for me to do it. And, three, I think a part of me wanted to put it off, since it's really her last big milestone as a...
School Daze

It's August. Already. The 8th month of the year. What the hell happened??? I feel like the summer has flown by, leaving me in a daze (get it?). Trevor starts school on the 19th, and he is less than thrilled, of course. Wesley starts back on the 19th as well, and...
Happy Birthday Papa!

Today is David's birthday, so he and Marilyn came up to celebrate on Saturday. We had a really good day, and I got my house pressure washed, so that was a bonus. I have to say, though, that the most surreal experience was discussing my feminine hygiene needs with my...
Ramona Quimby, Age 8

When I was little, I hated reading (still do for the most part), but this series of books by Beverly Cleary captured my attention and affection. I was Ramona, the mischevious, misunderstood little girl who was constantly getting into trouble. I read them repeatedly, so I was...
Family

Yesterday we had the pleasure of spending the day at the lake with Wesley's family...well our family, really. They were gracious enough to invite us to eat and play with them for the day. Trevor and Victoria got to ride in a boat and on jetskis for the first time, and Sophie...
