And so we wake up with the white snow they had promised us. We had about 3 inches, it's beautiful but I really don't like the cold. Thats not all we woke up with I have laryngitis and I am really worried because I have clinical Tuesday and I'm scheduled in the PACU starting IV's. Who is going to let me sart an IV with the way I sound? I am resting it and not answering my phones.
         The morning went a little smooth but when it got to packing lunches I bought the kids bottles with the frozen inserts so they can stay cold for them.My daughter had a fit because she wanted the blue one I told her theblue and green ones were Trevors "well I don't like pink and purple" I get so upset with

those two kids sometimes. I can go to the store and they can beg me for something we get home and its not good enough. I told her fine than go without and I can find someone to take them. She got over it quickly and wanted to take the pink one. I told her to go and pack it so she has water for the day. Low and behold look waht I found on the cupboard!!! you gotta love those kids!!!!!



The little momets that make you smile.

At church today I was sitting in the pew towards the back of the church as I always do on Sunday morning. There is a good reason for this, first off I am not hard of hearing and when my children make noises we can quickly get up to leave without everyone knowing. And not to mention I can take in the whole picture of the church with all the people in it. It makes the heart feel full. As the sermon went on I notice a 12-13 year old girl sitting in front of me. For me thinking of girls around that age reminds me of you know the bratty stage, where no one can touch them. Her father put his arm around his sons shoulder and the girl reached up to hold his hand. That hit a soft spot for be because that just don't happen anymore. Granted I learned a lot today from the sermon but I took a little more than than just that. I learned that no matter what you can always feel the love of your parent at any age.It's OK to grab your daddy's hand in public it makes others smile.

First week of school......

First week back to school for both the kids and I. It is an adjustment we all have to get used to. Tears streamed down my sons cheek having first day jitters, not to mention his big sister has now moved on to a new school. This left him feeling behind and lonely. I think he adjusted well now it's just a struggle in the morning to he him dressed. Brianna on the other hand was excited, but nervous and thats to be expected the first day in a new school. Brianna lost her lunch box on the first day, she forgot to put her name on her paper and the teacher made her write her name 20 times and I had to sign it right along with Trevors papers making that about 15 signatures between the two of them. Maybe someday I'll be famous. And for me I was thrown a stack full of paperwork my way. Trust me if you have ever been in nursing school you know what I mean, There is a lot and I'm not exaggerating!! I am in mental health this semester and so far it's ok..... My beautiful children....................................

loving the summer

The hot summer nights are just wonderful, I feel like I'm in another place other than home. This has been the best summer so far, I can't complain about the humidity because it's not ben that bad, I'm just LOVING it!!!! I don't want it to end.....

summer days!!!

So I got a bunch done in the yard yesterday and today I have to get it finished. Went for a bike ride with the kids and had a peacful time....

where did the time go?

Wow it's been such a long time since I have posted anything, but ya know thats how I am. I get something and only do it a little while and stop. But It looks like I have so much to catch up on. First things first though, I have offically completed my first year of nursing school and I am a practical nurse.....I have 2 more semesters left and I am an RN. I can't wait but the ride to get even half way was pretty rough. Nursing school is not easy by far!!!
My daughter finished her second year of gymnastics and did a performance it was great!!!! She also finished up her last year of school at Anderson, she moves to a bigger school, she is growing up too fastand it bothers me.:(

My son finished his second year of soccer and started t-ball, he is so into sports he loves staying active. He is going to be a first grader next year and going to school without his sissy makes him sad. He makes me a proud Momma!!

Schools out for the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited :)
