Day 60 Contest Ended no Winners

Okay, so, no one entered my blog contest to do a layout on their shoes. That means no free money to two peas in a bucket shop to go shopping with. It means I get to go shopping instead…

Oh my, its Wednesday again. It means we’re supposed to be over the hump to getting to the weekend. It still feels like eternity until Friday. It’s just that pranks are starting to be pulled at work again. It’s very frustrating that they are making our craft schedule and master copies disappear.

Today, hamburger helper with veggies, special classes after school, make school work for my oldest, and overall back to the same schedule we usually follow.

Day 61 Tuesday...

Opening day at the Diamondbacks baseball was a packed out crowd. We got there around 11 am. We didn’t leave until the game was literary over. The last strike out pitch was a standing ovation before it was even thrown. It’s almost like the crowd knew it was coming. It was awesome. We go back this weekend.

Now the only thing that really annoyed me about the baseball game was the two knuckle heads sitting directly behind me. They really need to improve their vocabulary. Okay knuckle heads, you may be in charge of some big time company but your vocabulary needs to go back to school. If you all you can do is “insert” four to ten letter words to describe people, incidents, transportations bloopers, and why in good graces they closed the field’s roof then seriously pick up a dictionary or thesaurus. You are so lucky they don’t allow glass bottles in the stadium or else you may have found hot sauce mysteriously appearing in your repeated alcoholic drinks that were either delivered to your seats or you walked to go get. You are so lucky my kids didn’t hear that type of language from your mouth or else they may have loudly asked why you weren’t in a time out or eating soap for saying those “potty” words. I didn’t have you thrown out of the game for inappropriate baseball etiquette manners because charma is truly hell when it comes back around. I don’t need any bad charma in my future. I only pray that you dui knuckle heads called a cab or had a limo wanting for outside because you were really too drunk to drive.

Today is mandatory testing for one of my kids. They will be finishing the testing Thursday. The one taking the test was told that if the score wasn’t high then those students wouldn’t go on to third grade. Well, I checked it out with most school districts. Guess what that is a flat out lie! So, I told my kiddo to do the best that my child could do and that would be enough for me. My kiddo got the biggest grin on that face. I got the biggest hug. I even said that gifted classes didn’t matter to me. They mattered to her teacher. I got an even bigger hug.

Day 62 Baseball Hookey Day

Today everyone is playing hookey to go see the Diamondbacks for their openning day of baseball season. Yes, that's right folks, we let our kids play hookey one day a year to go see baseball. It would be different if our kids were failing school or out of school due to illness a lot. They are not, they have good grades, one has a really tuff teacher that has our little one scared to start the first grade at that school, the little one just proved to the teachers her illegent level last friday, and its a beautiful day. So, to all the adminstrators, teachers, and other people that disagree with our philosophy..I saw this to you. LET GO LET GOD AND GET OVER IT. We are going to baseball regardless.

Its been nice having a "lazy" weekend. Though we were busy to a degree it was pretty much "lazy".

Sunday ...

It’s Sunday Morning. Everyone but me is sleeping. No biggie about that. I love the early morning by myself time. The only sound is my typing, the dryer and said clothes going round and round, and peace.
Okay, so, we have been really busy. To the point that the kids even wanted a break from the go-go pace we have been keeping. They stayed at home all day yesterday, watching TV, and chilling. Expect for the Egg Extravaganza at a local park. This is three baseball fields covered in plastic eggs and the kids go crazy trying to get their share. They are gone in 2-5 minutes.


I had a baby shower to go too. It was really fun. It was very low key. I love key events. It makes my day. I had so much fun! I love how their nursery was decorated. The food was kicking too. All fruits, vegetables, and lots of punch or ginger ale to eat and drink. I have a layout coming of their dog. She was so good during the baby shower.
For me today laundry, grocery shopping, and digital scrapbooking, we may go house hunting and we may not.

Day 63 Friday

It’s Friday. It’s my DH 42nd Birthday today. He won’t let us buy him anything. So, we made him a sign, bought a Disney balloon with his favorite characters, and some very funny cards. I still can’t find his favorite candy anywhere in the local stores. This is so frustrating.

Update on yesterday, yes, I had a better day with my kids. We got all the worksheets for the unit we are studying done. We get to start a new one Monday (sub gets to start it). Only three acted up at naptime, and those three are my normal three to give me a hard time.

I’m off today and Monday. You’ll find out why about Monday. Heheeheehee, I may be mean but I do have fun with my family regardless of what others think.

Plans get caught up on laundry, possibly go look at houses with my DH this morning, and try to figure out what my kids are allergic to before we have food testing done..

Remember when I saw, the bobcat the other day. A neighbor just told me it leaves down in a deep wash behind our little rental. Wonderful! This means I will probably see this, oh, so, not so, wonderful wild being again then.

Day 64 Thursday..no comment day

Its 3:45 am on Thursday. Why in good golly Ms Molly my body decided to wake up and have a stomach acid reflux trip is beyond me. Maybe, it’s because I ate really light last night, or maybe, I had a really crappy day with my kids at work, or maybe, I am running out of patience on this house hunting expedition that we have been on for over a year now.

Let’s see today’s plan of action at work. One keep kids outside as much as possible today. This means taking all worksheets, pencils, crafts outside to do. Let’s not forget our snack time is also going to be outside. These kids are going to run, play, and enjoy the weather since they acted so badly. I literary had three other teachers come in my room to help me with them yesterday. Even my director was like this is ridiculous for this class. I said, “okie dokie, tomorrow is an outside work day. Anybody got a problem with that then they will have to go see the director. “My director replied, “Fine by me.” Love you dear director.

This afternoon a date with one of kids, just you I kid. We got plans. Nothing fancy, just a sub dinner, a trip to the library, a shopping trip for a birthday card for their father and favorite candy too, movies with Scooby-doo (gotta love this scarredy dog),and maybe, some ice cream from the grocery store.

Day 65 April Fool's Wednesday but not any april fool's post

This is no April fool’s log. I spotted a bobcat and a bobcat spotted me. I froze in my tracks. He gave me a look like you’re not my type chick and walked in the direction he was going. Its great living in a desert community but it’s also not so great. Just don’t tell my DH he’ll get to be overprotective mode, again.

(photo not an original dl from the net to give you a clue as what I got to look at ..

Ugh, another day.
Happy April’s Fool Day to everyone. Hopefully, the pranks won’t be too bad
