Week 1 Down

The first week of school has been great! Hold onto your hats my friends, Ashleigh has not gotten a conduct check in almost 2 weeks! Woo hoo WTG baby girl. She told me the other night 2nd grade was really easy. Craig is adjusting to Emily crash landing on his planet and has even tried to be friendly to her (i.e. sitting next to her on the bus) to which she says ruined her life. Don't worry he assured her, it will help you be more popular because I am one of the cool 8th graders. God help us all! LOL





Check out http://www.unkit.blogspot.com/ This is my friend Sudie who is putting together something different. Most definitely the way to go if you like monthly kits. I just got done playing with the August Disney kit and will share pictures as soon as I can. The kit and the idea for what to do wiht your kit are awesome. Stop by and say hi and tell her Christi sent you.





Weight is going down, down, down. I am 4 pounds away from my first major goal! Yea me 31 pounds and 35 more to go. I will have to post some picture soon. It is nice to put clothes on and them be to big, it has been a while since I have had that issue.





Here is my new desktop at work, I saw the saying on a t-shirt in a catalog. I went online and found the picture and think it will be just perfect for my desktop at work. If only it would scare off some of the interruptions! LOL

Have a great week and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it:)

Happy First Day of School to you:)

Happy monday, first day of school day around here:) We got up bright and early this morning and put on our first day of school outfits, packed our lunch boxes and headed back to school. Ashleigh was super excited, Emily was super nervous and Craig was just well not sure about his sister invading his space. Never mind they will probably never see each other, she was still coming to his planet. They were very nice to each other last night trying to help each other pick out what to wear and giving advice. Is it possible, could we be wandering into that undiscivered terrirtory I like to dream of called getting along? I highly doubt it but a mom can dream can't she?



The parking situation at Dalraida this morning was a nightmare. I am not sure hwo the genius is who decide to rework their parking situation and car pool drop offs but they should be shot. They have fenced off a whole parking lot so you can not get into it at all. They are supposed to start construction soon and I am guessing they thought they should make life hell now and not wait. Even the buses were having a hard time because there was no where for them to turn around. So we will have to deal with that but ti will all work itself out.



We are just excited to be back in school and on a steady schedule. The kids love summer and they love spending time with their grandparents but the gas has killed me this summer. But Craig needs the guy time with his Opa and his Opa needs his kid fix. I am so thankfully for all the help Oma and Opa give me during the summer, I do nto know what I would do without them.



That is about it for here. I have been working on some projects but I can not show them to you yet. They are for a friend of mine who has a cool scrapbooking kit going on. Check it out at http://unkit.wordpress.com/ She has a very cool idea and I can see it really taking off. The August kit was a Disney kit and since we just got back from Disney I had a few pictures I could out together. So keep an eye out and I will try and let you know how that goes.

Talk to you soon.
