You ever see the movie "the shining?".... you know when they stay at this hotel to keep watch over it during the winter months where they get snowed in and cant leave? Jack nicholsons character gets Cabin fever and goes nutso on his family?! well, We are feeling a little like that! I have snow in my yard taller than my kids, there is nothing to do in a summer town in the winter time! we are going a bit nutso in our converse shoe box... so i have hid all the axes, and encouraged my husband to go out and about. There is only so much you can do with little funds! Hopefully, this weekend will be different, and my son wont be saying "redrum" in a creepy murdering voice. Here's to hoping!
Spring fever is getting the best of us. Im having the itch to get out my patio set, and watch my kids ride their bikes around the yard.I can't wait to push my feet into the hot sand at the beach. You know, i grew up in michigan, so snow was what i was used to.... I never had the taste of anything less than 4 seasons, until i moved.Tho i still enjoy all 4 seasons, a little less snow and a little more warmth would just be amazing. Okay, enough with the whining. Moving on..........
So Slades school had their first Lock down. Nothing big, they were just being precautious as there was a gun pulled out at a party a few streets from their school, and the man was missing for a few days, so just to be safe, they kept the kids locked in, and people locked out. Kind of nerve racking when you are the parent, but i like to see that his school is taking steps to keep the kids safe. You just NEVER know, and its just another reason to like his school even more!!
Slade had his second teacher conference this week! He is doing exceptionally well. His math skills are great as well as his reading skills! he can breeze through stage 3 books, and 4 with help. He is kind and courteous and his teacher adores him (as we do her!). She said he is focused and committed at school, and she sees no reason he wont be moving on to first grade in the fall! Now i know my son is perfect, but i am so proud of the boy he is becoming. Just an amazing kid. After his conference we went to BIG BOY (his choice). where he proceeded to order breakfast for dinner, and demolished the whole plate, including his sisters pancakes! haha. Brian ordered the "worlds greatest burger" and i assure you, it couldnt have been farther from the name! haha.
So its been a minute since i have posted last, and most of you already know, but i purchased my very first D camera! its been a long time coming and i am so proud of us for saving and happy to have it. It was a big committment, and one that i am sure i am never going to regret! Now, i am going to start to learn how to work it, and hopefully be successful and photography. i have already been asked to take engagement photos and even a wedding. I know its premature, but i am just really excited. So if anyone would like to book my services for photos, get at me.
Brian is almost finished with his instrument class, which leads him straight to his COMMERCIAL class, where he will eventually apply for his commercial pilots license!! Can you believe it? who ever imagined we would be in this position? not I, Not I. Its far from being over, and the scariest part hasnt come yet, but it will happen, and i hope we will be ready.
This sequester business has me in panic attacks and i have knots in my shoulders up to my ears. If this sequester goes into full affect we will be losing alot of the money that we are getting for brians schooling from the navy. Now i am not going to put the details out there because well, itsj ust not needed, but boy is it scary. Just scary!!!
Kendal is something else. She is majoring in attitude to say the least! She points her finger and yells at us. She thinks she is in total control but she couldnt be further from the truth. Rude awakening is in progress and she isnt a fan!!
I know this is just a bits and pieces blog. i wanted to write down some thoughts but im not in much of the mood to elaborate on many topics. I know that some of you readers enjoy this, so this is why i am doing it. Hopefully this weekend i will sit down and write a nice blog, but until then, i hope you enjoy your friday!!!
