Making me Happy today: my new Vibram Five Fingers!

To busy to say more :-)

Happy Hump Day!

Making me Happy today is the sweet Valentine I got from my hubby!

I am so FAR behind....

Wow, long time NO blog ;-) Well, maybe I can get caught up....... here is what we have been up to:

• school/ work
  
• studying, studying, studying, studying....(me...and it NEVER STOPS)


• playing


• cuddling (it has been an oddly cold winter here but making fires has been so much fun)


• Reading to Ollie's class and Jax's class (Me and it was sooo FUN!!!)


• Junior Achievement: Dax has been going once a week to teach JA to Jax's 2nd grade class. He LOVES it. From what Jax tells me the class thinks he is the COOLEST DAD EVER! I am super proud of him for this.... and KNOW he is the COOLEST DAD ever!!!


• eating (mostly JUNK.... gaining weight... yikes)


• sleeping (oh way tooooo little for me.... going to bed after midnight and waking at 5am 2x's a week....uhggg)


• Jax, Emma, Delaney ran their 1st 5k in 42 minutes with Dax. I was SUPER impressed! That is better than my 1st 5k that I ran at 29 yrs. Waaahoooooo, my kids ROCK!!!!

• DI (yeah these meetings/ tournament.... OVER)


• Soccer (Ollie)


• Baseball (Jax)


• Volleyball (starting Monday-Emma & Dede)


• making our house the messiest place on the earth ;-)


• creating DIRTY clothes faster than we are cleaning....way faster!!!


• My sister & I went to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston: something I needed to do for school.... but oh ART... another one of my passions... it was WONDERFUL! I enjoyed the day with Leah too :-)


• Seeing Stomp with Dax! It was awesome. I had to go to for a class project but am so glad that I did!


• Mary (Dax's mom) took the kids to her mom's house for some family fun & to give us a break....which is when we went to stomp!


• being sick (me mostly....thank goodness)


• Tear Fest 2010: Me- about always being sick, messy house, dirty clothes, and generally feeling like the WORST mom/ wife/ friend on the planet. Luckily after sobbing to Dax, I feel much better....this was during the middle of last week.


• Oh, Dax, Leah, Will & I went to the Houston Rodeo (Kenny Chesney)...but I was like a zombie because I had only had 4hrs of sleep the night before..... I didn't have even a sip of alcohol but I was tripping and swaying when standing still.....but I fit in with all the other women who looked ridiculous because they were drunk....so sad! It still was fun. The tickets were FREE and on the CLUB level!!!! I CAN'T wait because Leah & I are going to see Toby Keith this coming Friday night.....yippeeeeeee! WE LOVE TOBY KEITH ;-)


• Today, we went to see a performance of Junie B. Jones and a little Monkey Business. It was a great experience. We will be hooked on this theater!!! This was something else I had to do for school... it is a tough life HAVING to do such HARD things ;-)

RAIN, RAIN...

GO AWAY!

COME AGAIN ON WARMER DAYS!

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!

GET THE SUN TO COME OUT AND PLAY!
It's cold and wet.... walking across campus on days like this are FUN!

Well, I have lots to post about but am sooooooo tired. Hopefully, I will get used to this schedule soon.....ha ha ha.... waking at 5am on Tuesday/ Thursday and driving while it's still dark .... I THINK NOT!

Kids are good and sugared up!
Dax is great...and LOVING his job!
The house is a mess pig pin disaster!

Clothes need washing, dishes need cleaning, floors need sweeping.....

It's impossible to walk upstairs without tripping.

I have a million (slight exaggeration) tests next week!

But really it's not THAT bad ;-)

What's wrong with this picture?

I took it today...

Well, if you can't figure it out here's a hint:

LOOK AT THE POST FROM YESTERDAY!

(oh and it's NOT the mess in the background!)

Yes, we win PARENTS of the YEAR ;-)

Happy Hump Day!

Happy 100th Day of school

is making me happy today!

Well, really the fact that my kindergartner came home bouncing and saying it was,

"One of my BEST DAYS EVER!"

How wonderful is that? I couldn't help but smile & be happy!!!

Quick update:I am so busy with school. Hopefully, I can get caught up on posting here soon. I am loving my classes. I have TONS of work though ;-) research papers, presentations, things outside of school I need to attend, reading, reading, & reading....and so much more! Thankfully, I LOVE the content soooooo much it is worth it! A classmate from another major said the other day, "Education, the new engineering!" meaning that the study/work load is very heavy. I laughed thinking of how many times over the years I have heard people trivializing the importance & degrees of teachers. Anyway.....just something on my mind!

So remember my word of the year *FLOW*.... I'm really feeling it! I am even studying about FLOW in one of my classes....so cool!

The kids are great. They are busy with school, friends, and Destination ImagiNation. Soon Ollie will start soccer. And Jax starts baseball not long after. Dax is busy with work. He is the BEST dad and hubby. I can't even begin to express how much he helps. I sure am blessed!!!

Happy Hump Day!
