Caught Up

I think that I am all caught up right now! I promise to make a better effort to keep caught up in the future.

Some of the things that happened that I don't have pictures of:

• I was elected Vice President - Fundraising for the PTO at Mamie Towles.
• The Girl Scout Troop went roller skating. My kids missed it because we passed around the yucky stomach virus for about two weeks in our house.
• Stampin' Up! has come out with a new catalog that starts in July - it is so very pretty!
• We painted the kids' bathroom - gave it a little spruce up.
• Tea went to Vacation Bible School for a week right after school let out - she had a lot of fun.
• Swim lessons start in two weeks!
• She will have a team of teachers for first grade - there are two teachers in her classroom, so she gets a bigger class. We are both looking forward to it.

Thanks for reading!

Craziness! Or random musings.

• Today marks the beginning of the "school year" for me with H & R Block. This week, I start taking and teaching classes. I have at least one class every week from now until the end of October, sometimes more. Some weeks I teach one and take one, some weeks I take two and some weeks I teach two. It definitely keeps me on my toes and helps out in the long run!
• We have to take our pirate kitty to the vet today. She has been vomiting a lot lately and I have a feeling this is the end. She most likely has an obstruction, which would require surgery and recuperation and cash, which is short, especially since we just took care of her eye. I hope that this is not the case, but I am preparing for the worst.
• My laptop took a dump last week so I have just now gotten my new one up and running the way that I like it. That was fun!
• DH and I went to see Mamma Mia! last weekend. What a hoot. Pierce Brosnan cannot sing and the entire theater groaned when he did. It was a funny movie and I told DH that we are buying it when it comes out on DVD. That will be a great addition to the collection.
• My 20th Class Reunion is coming up on the 16th - go Lancers! I'm apprehensive but am going with a great group of friends (past and present) so I should have fun. If all else fails, there are always libations. ;)
• Tea's birthday is coming up, so look for a party post for her, too.
  
• Tea is also starting Kindergarten in September, I get teary eyed just thinking about it.
• We had their pics taken today so I will update photos sometime this week (don't hold your breath).
• Stampin' Up!'s new catalog comes out next week - I cannot wait to see all the new stuff and get to play. Let me know if you want to get your hands on one, I still have some that aren't spoken for.

Enjoy your week!

General Musings

Here are some things that I have been thinking about. None of them great enough to earn their own post, but put together is another story!

Overheard from the living room today - poof, you are a husband. Tea has been very big into "magic" spells and tricks, and they both have been playing husband and wife a lot lately. The magic tricks mostly consist of "Close your eyes, Mom, and I'll disappear."

Crackers never shuts up. I mean never. His life has a running commentary. It's like we have a play by play of every single thing. Any noise he hears, "What's that, Mom?" Any time he sees something that is not normal to him, "What's that, mom? Why is it there, mom?" Oy!

Tea has been invited to a birthday party tonight - she says that the birthday boy is her best friend at school. When I called to RSVP, birthday boy's Mom was so glad to hear from us. Apparently, Tea is all he talks about at home. He even gets in trouble at preschool for not sharing Tea with the other kids that want to play with her. Too funny!

Two of the teachers at Tea and Crackers preschool got married over the weekend. They are a cute couple and I am so glad that we got to share in their special day with them. It was a lovely wedding and there were lots of little kids there to share in the day.

My 20th high school reunion is coming up this fall. I am apprehensive but I am going. A friend of ours is flying out from back east to come, so it will be a fun weekend no matter what.

Crackers has to have some dental work done and because he is so young, the dentist has recommended that we do it under general anesthesia. So, July 18th (just 4 days after he turns 3) in he goes to get the work done. We did the same thing with Tea back in 2006, so we know what to expect, but it still hard to think about your little guy in the operating room.
