Vacation...

I want to post about our vacation before I forget but I never seem to have time. Even now I dont have the time. GRRR! Hopefully next week isnt as chaotic as this week has been. So I will post a bit then have to finish the rest of it later.

We left on August 8th and we went to Flagstaff. We got in late and barely got a hotel room. It was a horrid room I swear it had bedbugs. EWWW! I cant even remember the name but it was nasty lil place. The next morning we went and ate at this cool little restaurant and drove up to the Grand Canyon. We went to the southern rim and looked around and hit the gift shop. It was cool the kids all loved it. I took pics but cannot find the disposable camera HAHA. Probably fell out of the car along the way. We left early in the afternoon and got back to Flagstaff just as a huge storm hit. We decided to go on further. So we left Flagstaff and drove to Albuquerque (how do you spell that?) and stayed there. We got a GREAT room and we were much happier. The next morning we got up and drove into Santa Fe. ...

I have to go and will tell you more later.

Wow summer is over and its back to school....

As you can see I did change up my blog. It even looks semi normal. Bad thing??? I do not know how to get the purple out of my siggie. haha. I changed everything else with minimal help though YEAH!

Well we have been home a few days and I am worn out. A three week vacation where you go go go go and go some more is tiring. I will have to update you all later on this but its been a long August and now we are into September.

My baby started Kindergarten today and its full day. I didnt know what to do with myself. I have a third grader too. Then two in Middle school. Wow when did my kids grow so old??

Anyways still dragging bottom. I will post again soon.

Changing blog....

So yes I am bored again. I am thinking I may get a new kit and see if Andi can do her magic again. I want it to reflect me... black, red and white (GO MUSTANGS!) Yes I still love my alma mater's school colors. I loved my high school years for the most part and I love Westfield High (even if its not the same ole school now).

I had the best best best time then. Yeah there were a few bad things but isnt there always? I joined the Church then, I met and awesome family who I love to this day (I would and do claim them as my own sometimes!), I met some of the best people and had some of the best times then. Most people do not like the high school time, but I loved it. I miss that life. I can hardly believe that in one short year my baby monkey #1 will be embarking on HER high school years. Isnt life strange?

It is very strange for us we typically have the teen age LOVE-HATE syndrome. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Twilight books, Moonlight (Mick St. John is SOOO Hot! (oops did I say that?)), We love a lot of the same things. Her teen age hormones drive me to the brink though. Its very hard on me and her.

Anywho like I said I am changing my blog. If anyone knows how and wants to let me know otherwise I will try and get Andi to do it again! hehe

Twilight...

So as you can see The fourth book is coming very very soon. What you dont see is the Twilight movie comes out in December too! 12.12.2008 coming to a theater near you is TWILIGHT THE MOVIE! It looks awesome and we are definitely going. Well Monkey #1 and I are going. If they have a midnight showing we will be there! haha. If they sell the last book at midnight we maybe going too. Depends if we will be en route already for our vacation or we will be waiting till the 2nd to go. Anywho I love love this series.

If you look around you can find the twilight trailers... they are cool.

First class is DONE!

I am happy to report a B+ in the class. YES! I know one thing I do not like about the classes. I do not like LEARNING TEAMS! I do not like placing my grade in the hands of others. I had an A in the class until I was forced to place my fate in others.

Anywho I am now into my second class and its on Management. I really like it so far and the best thing about the class so far..... TWO people are from my stomping grounds. I surely miss the ole homestead and wish I could go back more. So if your family HI! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! If your friends well you know I love and miss you too. I just miss them more haha.

School is on...

Okay so school is on. Its definitely different. I am officially done with my Associate of Art. My Bachelors program is off and running. My youngest monkey is officially enrolled in school for the fall. WOW! I will have an 8th grader, a 6th grader, a third grader and a Kinder kid come Sept. WOW!

We are still waiting on the breakdown in scholarships for my oldest. It seems to be taking forever. Anyways we are working on life it self. I have a friend who has a few medical issues needing a bit of help over the next few weeks so I will be busy busy with that. I have her, my own children's needs, my school work, and my own issues (like housework!) to deal with. WOW I hope I get some sleep in during this huge undertaking!
