Back At It

So, spring break is over and we are back at school. I love my job, but this time of year everyone would rather be elsewhere. We've had beautiful weather, so who wants to be stuck indoors. Of course, the weather is turning and we are under blizzard warnings tonight and tomorrow. The prayers of no school tomorrow are all over the building, who said prayer isn't in the school system? After tomorrow, we are suppose have spring return. I love both seasons, but I'd much rather have them transition from one to the other and not the major swings that we are seeing.

Have a wonderful day!!

Spring Break Work

So, while the children are in Texas with their grandparents, I had visions of sleep, rest and relaxation. THEN my husband brings me back to reality!!! Yesterday we pulled a well, went to town to get parts to fix it and went back early this morning to put it all back. Not too bad, just not what I wanted to do this weekend.

Last night he did take us into town to visit some friends in town and I got my baby fix!! Eve was born Christmas Eve and I love to snuggle with her. I also love giving her back to mom when she gets too fussy, hungry or needs a diaper change. We did get some really good loves in and when she went to sleep with me, mom was very grateful since she hadn't slept well all day. I say it's all my padding, little ones love it.

Well, maybe I can get a nap in before Mike figures it out!!!

What Is That I Hear?

NOTHING? Not the kids arguing, screaming or crying. Also, not the kids laughing, whispering secrets or saying I love you. Mike and I meet his mom this afternoon and she took the kids home with her for spring break. They will visit all of thier grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I enjoy the peace and quiet, but it will get too quiet after a while. I'll start to miss them (but not yet).

So, Mike and I went in to the bar last night for the dart tournament. I didn't throw terrible, but my partner and I just couldn't pull it out. Mike on the other hand won our first night in. He got enough to pay our entry fees for the night, too bad it didn't cover the bar tab as well. We had so much fun that we are planning to make it a habit. I think we are going to go in some to practice while the kids are away. The tourney's are on Wed. and Sat. nights, so I think we'll go in Saturday again and throw. Maybe I'll do better next time.

SPRING BREAK - HERE WE COME!!!!

So, we get an EXTRA LONG spring break this year, and it starts tomorrow!! I'm so excited. The boys basketball team made the state tournament, which starts tomorrow. In a school our size, one team takes half the high school, a quarter of the jr. high and most of the staff. So, we don't have school Thurs, Fri, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri!!!! I'm so excited for the break!!

My three girls are spending spring break with their grandparents in Texas, so Mike and I are going to have some nice one-on-one time. I only have plans for one day next week, a massage, manicure and pedicure on Tuesday!!! Mike got me a gift certificate for the massage and manicure for Valentine's Day. (I am giving myself the pedicure just because I am spoiled rotten!!)

I'm also hoping to have company over Spring Break. (Hint to Corinthia!!!)

I will try to blog over break about all that is going on, but who knows, maybe I'll sleep for 10 days!!!

Old, Fat Ladies Basketball

So, today I joined a group of ladies that started playing basketball last weekend. The only requirement to play is you must be over 30. It was ALOT of fun. We laughed a bunch and even got in a little basketball. If I can get in a couple of games a week, maybe I will not only look better; but more importantanly, I'll feel better.

Mike and the girls went to a neighbors for a branding. It seems to have started early this year, but everyone had a really good time and enjoyed themselves.

Everyone enjoy the week ahead!

Road Trip!!!!

So, Saturday our girls lost a heartbreaker of a game. We still aren't out of the playoffs, just means we get a road trip, a 4 hour road trip. So, we all are leaving Thursday since the girls play Friday morning. Win Friday, play again Saturday, win Saturday we go to state!! Lose either Friday or Saturday and the season is over. Our girls have come so far this year its unbeleivable. A team with one senior, one junior, four sophomores and three freshmen and playing in the regional tournament, with a chance to win something, that's amazing. I think we will be hoping for a state title in a couple of years, not just a trip to state.

So, I know it seems all I talk about is Courtney's bb right now, but that is about all we are doing. Our family sat in the gym for three days, that doesn't leave much time for anything else. Mike, Reagen and Morgyn are all ok and still working and playing hard.

Well, have a great day, till next time...
