    9 years old going on…

    August 17, 2007 - By 

    14! Yes, that’s my older boy. Drew is such a teenager already. He’s got the attitude, the eye-rolling, the moodiness, and he’s nearing the hormone surges. He watches shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Zoey 101 (who he’s in love with), and Drake and Josh (which is my favorite of the 3). He’s wearing deodorant and is to the point where he needs to learn to wash his face and start using products like Noxema and Cleaaisil. Oh, I can smell it now… This is something I’ve been wanting to write about all summer, but tonight we…

    Searching for answers

    August 13, 2007 - By 

    Gosh, I think it’s been forevah since I’ve written! I’ve been drowning in work. I’m quickly getting burnt out, so I’m trying to get ahead and stay ahead so that I won’t feel so overloaded. Today was only the 3rd day of school, which is scary. It seems every year I become burned out quicker and quicker. I just keep thinking, I need to find something else to do. There’s a lot of great things about teaching, but I’m just not sure it’s what I’m meant to do. But then, I think about the summers off. Although they’re short, it’s…

    I have what?

    August 24, 2006 - By 

    Yesterday I went to the doctor, because I’ve had the sinus issues. I was pretty sure I had a sinus infection, which it turned out I did and also the beginnings of an ear infection. While I was there, doc was asking me about my neck and I told him the symptoms I have had in the last few months. He said I have Fibromyalgia, so I’ll be going on a cocktail of medications next week to hopefully help things. Wish me luck.

    Snake Adventures

    August 23, 2006 - By 

    Today Drew was outside in the front yard and saw this rat snake in our flower bed. He later caught it. He put him in this container and we ooed and awed at him. We decided to take pictures of Drew holding the snake, but the closest thing we got was the pic in the middle. Right after I took that picture, Drew brought him up higher with his other hand and the snake bit him!! The snake is now sleeping on my kitchen table in this plastic container. Yes, I’m actually sleeping in the same house as a snake.…

    I thought I posted this last week, but I guess I got side tracked. Here are the boys painting, but I think Alex thought it was body paint instead of finger paint!
