It's Friday! I have the day off after a LONG week with late nights and too much going on at school. Mr. Wonderful is out of town so instead of sleeping in this morning I called to make sure he was up. I had intentions of going back to sleep, but started watching The Majestic with Jim Carrey...

Clara - this is wonderful! I remember Christmas of 2002 with four girls at home 14, 12, 9 and 7 and my husband deployed to the middle east. We love him, but we also dearly love our country and count our blessings each day in thanks for all our vets and the sacrifices they have and will...

WOW- am I out of shape! We worked on the new foundation yesterday. Mixing concrete two 60# bags at a time in a portable mixer (thank God!) then shoveling it into five gallon buckets for hubby to pour into the forms. YIKES - my lower back hurts today :) Guess I should get on the elyptical...

WOW - this turned into an interesting weekend. I started yesterday morning cleaning the basement - we have a yuky basement, not one that you'ld use for living space. We hauled an extra washer and dryer down to get them out of the garage. DD3 and I started moving furniture upstairs into the...

you have a pm from me Clara. Friday at last! It's been a weird week. Maybe it's the time change that I'm still fighting with but it's about all I can do to stay awake past 8 p.m. An update on the contests my students competed in yesterday. They give a sweepstakes trophy to the school...

sent you a pm Clara - thanks for thinking of us!

OMG! Not at all what I was expecting....too funny, way too funny!

Thanks for all your postitive thoughts for our contests today. The kids did amazingly well. Just perfectly as a matter of fact. Well enough to keep them excited and make them feel like they accomplished something but not so good that they feel that they can get lazy and not work. We have...

Sounds like a few of y'all have caught the wonderful crud that just continues going around. It's been a tough start to the school year. Lots of sick kids; strep, mono, seasonal flu, pneumonia, h1n1. You name it, we have it; a proberbial plaque! I've managed to dodge most of it but I do have...

Happy Tuesday everyone! Crazy busy here today, but popping in to say hello! Hope you all have a magnificent day!

Well here I am two days in a row! Amazing I know. Thanks for the birhtday wishes Sally - It was a great day, my leadership class planned a party with LOTS of food, especially chocolate and some really yummy pumpkin bars! Here's what's had me so crazy busy - school! We have had a lot of...

Hope you all have a fabulouse Halloween weekend! Life has been crazy in my world and I think of you all often!

Linda - I know exactly the situation you are talking about. We are having the same kind of troubles with my stepdaughter. Only - we have NO idea what we did to upset her. Have not seen or heard a word from her since august 16th when we took her back to her mother's house. She didn't bother to...

Thanks Clara! I really liked the stuff we put together too. Today is the deadline for the week's kits, so they will be posted sometime today if they aren't already. They will be free to download until tribal council is over tomorrow evening. Snag them here There will be four kits to...

Chris - they reposted the voting poll and we won! WooHoo! We eliminate six people at tribal council this week. Glad I've got immunity! A barking pig huh? Crazy farm animals are everywhere!

I know the feeling Sara! I'm wiped out from in-service today. I think I had an entire 20 minutes that I could spend in my room today when we weren't in meetings! Tomorrow will not be any better I don't think.

Thanks Linda! The fair was fun, but it sure is a ton of work - washing and clipping all those sheep. We had a show last week at another fair, just one day so everyone, including the sheep, could go back and forth and didn't have to stay overnight. This fair is four days, so the livestock stay...

I'm following you Merkee!

Wednesday, already! I'm back to school after all day yesterday at the fair - the girls showed 31 head of sheep! What a long day! The girls did really well and had fun, even though we were all exhausted at the end of it! It's reward challenge time in Designer Survivor! I'd love it if you...
