Sealing Day

So today is the anniversary of our sealing. It seems like only yesterday, that they were that small. We recently got out the picture box, and I can't believe how small they were.

Here are some pictures from that day...

And here is a recent picture of them....aren't they something??

Why do I do this...

It has been one of those weeks and today I lost it. I made Mike and the boys walk around the mall as I vented and spewed about a variety of things. We normally walk the bosque however we had rain and snow all day. We then came home and I have spent the last three hours playing on line with my various blogs, avoiding my email, FB, and any other site where I may spew my venom on unsuspecting people. I vented my spleen on my ranting blog (yes another blog).

Anyways, I am now going to vent here. I started this blog as a way for our friends and family to keep up with what is going on in our life. However I have come to the conclusion that only a couple of people even read it, and so I am going to change the way that I do things on here.

This is now a journal for our family. I could careless if anyone else reads this. I am no longer going to be upset when I see that no one has posted a single comment on a post. This is a way for me record what is happening in our family, for our family.

So if you read this to keep abreast with our family keep doing so, just know that it is for us that I am doing this now.

What a day...

So the day started off with me stressing about the fact that I thought that grades were due today, and I hate the gradebook that I have to use. I can't look at the grade book at a glance and see what assignments are missing and what aren't so that I have open every single assignment and when there are 22 assignments it is very annoying. So then I think that I have it, and come to find out I have told all my students there wrong grades.

Then I go to pick the boys up, and discover that Mike forgot to pick them up from school. He realized it an hour after school got out. Luckily a friend of ours had had to go back to school and saw them. She then tried for 20 min to get a hold of either me or Mike. I had left my cell phone at home and so I never got the messages until I got home from getting the boys. Unable to get a hold of Mike the boys told her where they go on Weds. and so she took them there and even dropped her own kids off there.

When Mike realized that he had forgotten them, he felt like crap, and has been beating himself up all day. At least when I have forgotten them I am only 5 min late. But hey these things happen.

They boys had scouts tonight, when I pulled out of the driveway I backed into a car parked across the street. Of course there was no damage to their car but I dented in corner of my back bumper. I am so upset.

Oh well that is life....crap happens. At least no one was hurt.

New website/blog

No I don't have a new blog/website. I was catching up on Oprah today and at some point this week and she was talking to a mom that is also a blogger, I loved what the mom (Heather) had to say and so I went and checked out her site. I bookmarked her page and plan to be a regular visitor to her site.

Here is the link to her site www.dooce.com

I saw this video this morning and I have to share. It brought back such poignant memories. I have to say that it was one of the best 18 months of my life. I learned so much.
