Catching Up
Okay, so its been a while! Hillary has sufficiently gotten onto me about my blogging priorities! November and December were crazy. I had finals, then Thanksgiving, more testing and then Christmas and New year! I passed my class with an A. I am actually a good student! Who would have thought.
Hillary and Rich were here with their kids for a week and it was a lot of fun! Ten kids just between the two of us. Things were a little loud at times, but I guess you get used to that. We took lots of pictures and laughed a lot too. Hopefully they made it home in one piece!
Christmas was great. Our kids got just about everything they wanted and then some. The girls all got Nintendo DS's. We don't hear much from them anymore. The house has become eerily quiet! And of course the boys got their share of cars and airplane stuff.
New Year's Eve was spent at my mom's house. We ate, played some dominos, ate some more. Then when the time came we broke out the fireworks and sparkling white grape juice and yelled "Happy New Year"! Then we got to go home and go to bed!!!!! Okay so the going to bed was my favorite part.
School starts tomorrow for the kids and I guess its back to real life. I start school again on the 12th and hope that it doesn't get too difficult. Then maybe I can become a regular blogger!

My little tank
Okay, I know boys are rough and tumble, but I don't know how mine are going to survive until their 5th birthdays. In the past month both Josh and Lan have had black eyes busted chins, big lumps on their heads and bruised cheeks.
At one point about 2 weeks ago Landon actually had 2 black eyes and this huge bruise across one of his cheeks. I felt bad taking him any where because I didn't want any one to think I beat my poor children. If this is any indication of what lies ahead its a good thing I am going to be a nurse! Maybe with my paychecks I can purchase a hospital room with the boys names on it!!

Lucky 7
Okay, so Hillary tagged me. I had to email and ask her what the heck that was. Remember, I am a little slow! She said she wants to know what my strengths and weaknesses are. This outta be great!
7 things I can do:
1. I can smell my kids poopy diapers a mile away in a group of kids. (YUCK!)
2. I can bake!! I LOVE FOOD!
3. I can sing all Hannah Montana's songs. ( Thank you Sam and Ash)
4. I can laugh at myself.
5. I can spend money faster than my poor husband makes it!
6. I can run and lift weights.
7. I can talk a whole lot! (It is a condition called not enough adult interaction!)
7 Things I can't do:
1. I can't fit into those darn low rise jeans like I used to.
2. I can't remember anything! That is another condition called having children makes your brain disappear! If you find mine could you send it back!
3. I can't shave my legs without nicking my knees. EVER!
4. I can't multitask to save my life.
5. I can't wait to finish school.
6. I can't keep my house clean.
7. I can't keep food off of my kitchen floor. GROSS, I just stepped on a mashed banana.
7 Things that attracted me to Jay:
1. He cracks me up!
2. He is very confident.
3. He works hard at everything. I must say it is hard to put up with me for 13 years. He deserves a medal or something.
4. He is so handsome!
5. He is extremely loyal.
6. He is a good back scratcher!! Hillary, you understand that one!!
7. He has always made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
7 Things that I say most often:
1. Whatever!
2. No!
3. No way!
4. What happened?
5. What is the matter now?
6. Everyone else does not have a cell phone Samantha!
7. Is it bed time yet? I'm tired.
7 Celebrity Admiration's:
1. Paula Dean. I only have one and this is it. I have to respect a woman who is not ashamed to put butter in everything she cooks. YUMMY!
7 Favorite foods:
1. Hibachi chicken, steak and shrimp.
2. Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
3. PF Chang's Mongolian Beef.
4. My husbands nachos.

October 1, 2008
I can't believe it's already October. When the kids start school it feels like life moves to fast forward. It is cooling down here, YEAH! No real big news, just school, homework, lots of laundry and noise!!
You know, nobody ever tells you that when your children start school that you, the parent, will be entering school again for another 12 years. Then multiply that by 5. Oh, my head hurts! Samantha brings stuff home that I remember doing in middle school. And I have a hard time helping her. By the time these guys hit high school I will certainly be no help other than, "um, I don't know!"
Hannah is going to be going to a new Kindergarten class on Monday. They had too many children and not enough teachers, so they added another classroom and she volunteered to change classes. Her teacher is Ms. Dunham. She was Ashley's 3rd grade teacher. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. So I know Hannah is going to love her too.
School for me is going well. I am doing better than I did the first and second time around when I was younger. It's pretty cool to be able to take classes on line. I was really intimidated at first, but now that I've got the hang of it, its all about time management. Another thing I am having to learn to do! But you're never to old to change bad habits.
Okay, I will update soon!!
