NOVEMBER 16, 2010

I am not even sure where to begin on updates.
AIO kicked my butt this session. It was all I could do
to to make it day to day...much less update my blog...

Words can not express my exhaustion.
Seriously-
I felt like I was living in another dimension---
thankfully it is over.
I am locked out of class at the moment due to something
in financial aide department. Hopefully I will be back in today.
we will see!
uhhhg...2 more classes.
i just want sleep!zzzzz

I have lots to do today at home-

Plus- all of my pics are in RAW or TIFF so I can't load them here.
I will have to find time to reformat tonight.
Promise updates.
lots to tell-
I adore, love, cherish this time of year.
:D
more soon-

MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2010

We were rolling along- Enjoying the amazing-fall weather.
BEAUTIFUL is an understatement.
The weekend was great.
We had sunshine, breezes and tremendous fall color to brighten our day.
now... it is monday.
rainy-stormy-no alarm went off.... MONDAY

Lots of homework for me...
Dunkin' decided to nap on the desk while I worked my pa-tooty off.
Thanks for the help Dunk-a-doo!

Hello boys-
how r u?
Love you and I am excited about SPIRIT WEEK!
ohh-
mr. Teyler was asked to be on the HOMECOMING COURT!
cool!
We also did his Senior Picture photo shoot last weekend.
That was not very fun- for him at least.
I had a blast!
Wish he would have smiled once.
but hey...
I will post some of those pics next post.

Snoopy sitting in the back seat of the Honda-
I thought he had a tick on his wittle head.
I ran him to the vet.
Uhh-
no
mam...
no tick!
just an old dog wart...
(***i swear it looked like it had legs!)
ohh- well
sorry for the trouble snoopy!

by the way-
today is SUPER HERO DAY!
Here is Avery's choice for his shirt that I made.
awesome Leo! of the Turtles of Ninja!

I have SOOOOOO much to do...
this monday started off in a sack of stress-
Tre' didn't hear the alarm..?
I was out cold since I had only had 2 hours of sleep...

we were all still a-sleepin'!
lovely start to the week!
it will get better.
prayin' so!

Fall '08? I think...
Teyler--- why are you growing up so fast...?

Just things that caught my eye tonight as I
tried to get blogspot to work... :/?

Check Avery and Mason out around lunch...

Pretty good grades so far.
It will be a challenge to stay on top of 2.

Lots of homework and time at this computer desk.
I feel my hips spreading as I type!

What handsome little men!
I am really fighting back the tears.

This post is dedicated to drama...

Drama created by Avery.
Our 3rd born son.

We love Avery.
We adore HIM!
When he is happy... He is beyond HAPPY!
Words can't describe happiness when AVERY IS HAPPY!!!

but... in a moments notice...
without warning.
that can change!
that can turn on a dime...
LOOK OUT!

Everything can go from one extreme to another.
You have to be on your toes and be prepared.
THIS WEEK!!!
has been that!

happy-?
Don't be fooled!

The mood swings... the mean attitude...
where does it come from my child!

We love you Avery-
but why oh why must I chase you into the school building with a belt???

What did I do to you?
I promise nothing.
I have loved you- cared for you- and tried to be what God wants me to
be for you...
but here I am this morning sad and down and all a mess
because of the past 2 days.

This has to change.
somehow
someway!

love-
a weary momma... :?

FRIDAY OCTOBER 1, 2010

IT is Friday...
Usually--- that helps me focus.
Usually? I am thrilled.
not so much today...
This is more me today.
out of sorts...
annoyed...? maybe..?
I don't know.
Just feeling kinda blah!

This can make me laugh..

This wacky, punk rock hairy Dunkin' makes me smile too!

I remember this morning all too well.
that dump zit on my face wouldn't go away...
but hey-
I had to be smiling on the inside...
School was out---
and I just lavished the ability to lay in the bed and
get puppy lovin'! :D :D :D

Anytime I can get Teyler to loosin' up and be silly...
That makes me smile!

This makes me smile- cuz....
Avery isn't crying, whining, or complaining in this picture!
That makes me SMILE big!

And-
What picture montage' is complete without
a HAYDEN tribute to making a funny face!?!?!?
and Dunkin' of course...
in shades...
now that is funny!

ohh-
and the smiley face sky the daddy went to see Jesus!
Now that is special... and makes me smile and cry at the same time!
I am certain he is smiling.
He is with Jesus.
All is perfect in Heaven.

None of this stuff to get 'cha down.
I guess I will work through it.
Maybe cleaning up the kitchen will be a good thing.
ehhh....maybe not.

Looking forward to the weekend.!

Wednesday September 29, 2010

Well- Little Dunkin' has recovered and all is well!
We had him neutered last week- or 'fixed'... whatever
ya' wanna call it-
I am praying this helps take away his constant urge to hike his
little leg and mark his territory.
We shall see!
We are hoping for Snoopy's sake...
that it takes away the urge to hump Snoopy.

Yes- Snoopy... We are trying to save you too!

(butterfly pic. doesn't have anything to do with the moment... I took this at Becky's Mom's house when we were leaving for the wedding in June....HUGE!!! I mean MONSTROUS butterfly!!!!)

Last week moved along quickly. Being back from fall break
wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.
Slowly but surely- my students are getting into a groove.
week by week!

Hayden went on his field trip Mon. and Tuesday. I REALLY missed him!
Ohh!!!! goodness...
It is SO weird when one of my babies isn't in the nest.
I just can't stand it...

We finally got some rain on Sunday.
As we were having lunch with Momma and Kellie's crew at Frontera...
wow!
It was c r a z y!
Then-
Hayden had forgotten his History book-
so we went back to the church/school for him to go to his locker.
Well....
Little did I know that we were going to stumble upon a flooded mess at the office.
Something happen with a downspout..
and the 2 inches of rain had flooded the Aftercare office and many classrooms.
OMG!
It is just unbelievable!.
I text Kim- and then the snowball of events started....

The entire school is turned upside down right now.
There is a restoration company there trying to put things back together.

There is always something to make the week interesting!
Good news...
The storm brought in a touch of fall to the air.
FINALLY!
thankfully!
WONDERFULLY!

I must move along this morning.
I have to finish my FAFSA paperwork this morning.
Classes start back at AIO next week.

do I do it????
I am so torn.

Maybe if my energy was normal and I felt better I would more gung-ho :[

PLUS
Avery and Mason get out at noon today for a teacher workday.
I will be seeing as many piano students that I can today.
My goal is to play my cards right and fix it to where I am
off tomorrow and Friday from CCS students.
OHH....
I need a mental day to recover and clean...
or
maybe go shopping for a bra...
jeans,
shoes,
:-O
we shall see...
Enjoying the lovely cooler temps that is for certain!
HERE COMES FALL!!!

Monday, September 20, 2010

Where have I been?
Ohh...sorry Dunkin'...
I took a break from my 'blog time'.
I am back though.

Fall break was last week...
Fall break was grand!
I take back all the mean things I said about
starting school so early in August.

Tre' was off the whole week.
We did pretty much only what we wanted to do.
WHICH!?!?
was as little as possible.
I LOVED IT!

all but...

the un-FALL like weather!!!
We were not sure if we should hit the pool or run
around 'neked to cool off...
I will NEVER again complain of cooler weather!

I welcome seeing Snoopy wear his green
poofy winter coat...
( LOL !!! LOL!!)

THIS IS FALL!
Pumpkins!!

When I think of fall....
Here is where my heart goes.
Teyler in PawPaw's lap... outside in the leaves.
Bring on some fall weather please...
I need it.
My heart longs for it.
The seasons change for us to grow and learn.
I have learned that we need each one to survive.
The times of warmth and love and tenderness are there to
help us find strength, guidance and purpose for each day.

I have been a little down for months now.
I miss my relationship with Sherrie.
I miss there being a sense of family there- that is gone.
Daddy left us...
and Sherrie did too.
It has been so hard.

Much more difficult than I ever imagined.

The LORD knows my heart!
He knows where I stand and how I have loved.

Sherrie can see things how she chooses.
There isn't a heart of love when you stand in judgment...
The heart of love offers hope for a better tomorrow...
We can only offer love.
That is what I am doing, praying and seeking each moment.

Hopefully that will happen some day.
Until then I will keep praying...longing and yearning for that.

I have to move on and embrace what gifts I have today.

Thank you Lord... for Fall break-
time home with the boys and Tre'...
I needed it!
It was a blessing.
