Another Week gone by....

Well, it has been a busy week, again....
Submitted my power point game on Friday, hope I did alright on it. I am kinda excited about class tomorrow night to present the game, just hope that it is what Ms. Jones wants, Julie said it was good, so I hope so.

My other classes are going good, had a test Friday in my Psychology class, and one tomorrow (Monday) in Survey of Math, I hope I do alright in there, differently need a better grade than the last time.

Hoping this week will be better then last week, Megan was sick most of the week with high fevers and a cough. The other girls haven't got sick yet (knock on wood that they don't).

This next week will be busy again, Ashley is going to Hot Springs for a East convention, she is really excited. Megan finished all her home work that her teacher sent home for her to work on. Katie keeps her homework done so she usually doesn't have homework at night.

Tim & I are doing good....wish that I could keep my mouth shut sometimes, but I still haven't learned to do so, so keep getting in trouble with that, oh well, I will probably never learn.

Hope everyone has a great week!

OOPS, My bad!

Ok, so I forgot to blog last week, and my reasoning is I guess I have been busy with work, school, and homelife.

Life is good on the home front, kids are keeping busy, Tim has had a few yards to work on, and I have been busy with everything in between.

Tim wasn't feeling to good today, hate when he doesn't feel good because he doesn't tell you what is wrong, if he isn't better tomorrow I will be taking him to the doctor.

Guess I need to get the batteries chargin for the camera so I can post some pics of the family, I see my other friends putting pics on there bloggs, they are so with it! I just can't believe how much my girls have grown, it seems like yesterday they were small, now they are getting so big.

So classes are going good, Educational Tech, I think I am doing pretty good in there (should I toot my horn??? I think I will TOOT TOOT!) Survey of Math, well that one is like algebra, will I ever use it, probably not. American National Government here goes another TOOT TOOT! Psychology, well that one is hard to say, but it is interesting to listen to Clubb talk.

Well, that is all for now, maybe I will get a wild hair and post later in the week.

WOW, it has been over a week and I haven't blogged, shame on me! I had planned on blogging earlier in the week, got busy with work, school and family.

Well, February 5th, I turned the big 42, or as Ashley would say "My mom is 40 but don't forget the 2." We had a good time on my birthday the girls were so excited about the gifts they got me that they gave them to me the day before my birthday. Megan gave me some lotion, Katie gave me a cake holder, Ashley gave me a chair for my computer desk and my husband gave me a food saver (so love using it to store pecans).

Over this past week I really have been busy with work and school. Loving some of my classes (some I am still wondering why I am taking them, but know I need them). My instructional tech class has been a lot of fun. One of the assignments was to make a game on power point, didn't think it could be done, but to my surprise, I did a game and the girls love playing it. Just hope it works like it needs too.

Tuesday had a doctor appointment in Pine Bluff, not fun, but got it over with. We pulled the girls out of school to go with so there would be no rush to get home. After the appointments we decided to go eat a Chili's, ribs are soooooo good! We then decided to go shopping for some clothes (I was told that I needed to dress nicer by a teacher & husband) so we headed to the mall in Pine Bluff, but changed our minds and decided to head to Little Rock and brave the snow that they got. I don't like shopping for things me, but I really did enjoy buying things for me.

We got home close to 9:00pm, just in time for the girls to get their baths and to bed.

The rest of the week flew by. Friday, Monticello was suppose to get some bad weather, so when I got up in the morning to check the news it showed that UAM was closed (hard to believe we never close) but it didn't show any thing about the Monticello school system, come to find out the girls had school, and of course I had to work which was not fair, but the day went by fast. I went to MIS for the girls parties then it was home to relax for a little while.

I think the girls had fun at their parties, I know they brought a lot of candy and cards home.

We went to Hot Springs on Saturday, and did some more shopping (I could get use to spoiling my self with clothes, it just wearing them and not feeling like a dork!) found some good places to shop, can't wait to go again.

Sunday has be a closet cleaning day along with homework that needs to be done. Tim just got a wild idea to measure the windows in the kitchen and laundry room, this means tearing out the frame work around the window.

Well, that is all for now, I will try to do better this week.

Another day....

Well, I am so excited about starting a blog in my Instructional Tech class. I have always wanted to start a blog, but didn't quite know what to do to start one and all the ins and outs of the workings of a blog, although I have friends that have them, they just are too far away to ask what to do.

The great thing about this blog, is I plan on keeping it up and getting the information to my family out in Utah. We don't get out there too often and miss them so much.
When I told my daughter Ashley about starting a blog she was really excited, because I want her to help me with the posts to my family. Of course I had to let her know that there would be no nose pictures, Julie Gardner (one of my bff) agreed that no nose picture need to be posted do to the graphic look.
Here are some examples of the nose shots.
Ashley Nose Shot





Katie Nose Shot



Megan Nose Shot

Ok, so now we know what it acceptable and what is not and those are definitely not (we don't like looking up the noses of children or seeing their finger there!

Hopefully this will be something fun for me and my family to keep up. Who knows maybe it will get my husband on the computer doing posts, ok I know that is pushing it but wouldn't it be fun??? And we will keep all the depressing stuff out (like bugs dying or anything like that).

Looking forward to keeping up with the blog.
