Spinning Pennies at Sonic
M took us to Sonic for a soda. We sat outside and ended up spinning pennies and coloring rocks with our Sharpie Marker. It was a nice way to take a moment and enjoy the day.

An Open Letter to my kids teacher
An Open Letter to My Kid's Teacher.
Dear Teacher,
I know your days are long. I feel that you by no means get paid near enough to put up with 120 or more kids that are the exact same age as my child. I know that you are doing something that I cannot even imagine doing for my life. You give more in one day than I ever would want to in a lifetime.
Yet, I must say guessing my child's log in name is a hard task. I might be ready for the CIA. You gave my child the wrong User ID and the homework was to log in and send you an e-mail. I must say I am impressed with myself for cracking the code and guessing that you dropped a letter in the User ID when you wrote it down. Yes, I'm good, 30 minutes later after download who knows what programs and trying all sorts of combinations and following strange instructions for other downloads that wasn't related to this project, but still good.
And Other Teacher,
When you say that you will be at a place to unlock a door for all the kids in your class and there is like 40 or so moms standing out in the Texas heat, yes 99 degrees on a Sunday late afternoon in late September, then I suggest you show up close to time. Instead of us having to hunt down another teacher after waiting a good hour in the heat and ruining his Sunday afternoon. There were some crazed ladies there in the heat of that parking lot. You will be hearing about it from other parents I'm sure. But, it won't be from me, because my kids locker got decorated and I'm sure you will hear about it from a bunch of other people. So, you might want to just steal some chocolate off of my kids locker, because it might be a long day and you might need a pick me up.
In conclusion, I know you are human, and so am I. So, let's all joing together and have a break and take a nice glass of milk before a nights sleep, because...tomorrows Monday.

candlelight at 6:00 a.m. is good
This morning I lit my new candle from Bath & Body works. The scent is sweet cinnamon pumpkin. Oh, it smells soo good. It's sitting on the window sill in my kitchen. Along with a glass filled with seashells I picked up in Corpus Christi and a leaf that Big Kid picked up in our driveway, my paintbrushes in a glass, three glasses filled with food coloring and water which was a short craft project for the day, two sets of salt and pepper shakers (one Razorback glasses, and one ceramic footballs) and the candle. I love things that make me happy to look at in my window and out my window everyday. I didn't even start to describle all the trinkets that lay on permanent display, this is just the temporary section, that usually houses a flower or two.
Now for some pictures of this past Sundays day trip to Galveston to hang out with my mom and dad.
The surf was great. Nice waves that day. Perfect weather.
My mom happy!!!
Little Bit getting ready to hang ten.
Big Kid coming in from boggie boarding!

First Game of the Season of Life
Yesterday was Big Kid's first Football game ever! He is # 5.
And he played like almost the whole game. They put him in for defense and offense, depending on the plays they ran.
They played against some big kids (small & big adult sized children). I think I saw one kid shaving before the game started, ok that didn't really happen. But, Big Kid's team held their own. Even though the end score was 20-6. They held it most of the game. There were just two touchdowns the other team scored, where they had this really big, super fast kid that grabbed the ball and just strode down the field, running 70 and 60 yards resepectively for TDs. I should have gotten that kids name and forwarded it onto the Razorbacks. Maybe I could have gotten a recruiting agent fee.
Anyway, back to my own child. He did an amazing great job for his first game ever. I was really impressed with how much he has learned in the first 2 weeks of playing and practing.
And I forgot how much I LOVE going to football games. There is just something about a Football game that is wonderful.
I wish I had remembered to bring my camera. But, I guess it is better to watch and have the memories. I'll bring the camera next time.
Way to go, #5 Arkansas, Jr.!

Thangs of note
- Yesterday I started my 6-week art class. My child noted that I'm paying my friend to teach me something. She had us sign a release form at the beginning of the class to release the Woodlands Art League from any harm that may come to us in the class. I signed it and came home with a big scratch on my hand that hurts when I wash it with soap. But, I'm making a cool hand sculpture. I'm going to give it to M and have him put it on his desk at work. I can't wait to see the look on his face.
- I am at the end of week 2 in my diet. I have lost 4.5 pounds in 2 weeks. Yes, those angels singing were for the amazing miracles happening in my house.
- I got my hair colored a little darker. I was going for much darker, but it will do until I return again.
- Today I go to work. My 3rd day back. I have really enjoyed getting to fluff up the place again. Sometimes it drives me crazy when I'm not working and see things out of place or where they could be straightened. I tend to straighten things at other stores now.
- For the next two nights I will have 3 children, instead of 2. So, if i seem a little crazier, it's because I am.
- I'm praying for the firefighters in our state today. Please pray for them and all those who are loosing their land and homes to fire, too. It's literally hitting close to home, like less than 10 miles away.
