My Hubby is Awesome

Some women enjoy flowers, others think that a night out is perfect.

Me...

it's all about the tunes.

He surprised me yesterday with a new iPod!

I guess I can be nice to him for a couple of days. :)

It really is true????

A long time ago, my mom told me that teenagers are stupid. Literally stupid. I always thought that she was being sarcastic or nasty, but really didn't believe that she was being literal. I mean, how could a smart kid suddenly loose any sense in their head for 6 years, and emerge at the end as an intelligent, well adjusted young adult?

Kylee isn't quite a teen, but I think she is entering that tunnel of ignorance that requires all common sense be left behind.

Kylee: Mom, I need sunscreen for the Great Wolf Lodge this weekend.

Me: blink, blink

Kylee: Really mom, do you know where the sunscreen is?

Me: Kylee, you do remember that it is an INDOOR waterpark, right?

Kylee: Oh, yeah.

Happy Birthday Kearstin

Another one in double digits...

She has been doing so well at taking care of the animals, that we decided to give in and let her get her own kitty.

This is one very happy little girl.

And one new little one named...

HUNTER.

I'm in mourning...

My iPod died this evening. I am consoling myself with the knowledge that it has lived a long and active life. A battery transplant is an option, but I can't make that decision until the sadness fades. Until that decision is made, my shuffle will be picking up the slack. It's a daunting job, but I think Little Blue can handle it (at least short term).

What's going on?

Let's take a look at the last two weeks...

Intent - B

Execution - A

Followup - D

Last weekend, we went to the beach. We had a fabulous time, and I got some wonderful pictures. Then this weekend, we went to the county fair, and again, I got wonderful pictures. Both weekends were great, which is why I got graded an A.

Ummm, unfortunately, my father in law has borrowed my camera adaptor, so my pictures are stuck on my camera. Bad grade for followup.

On Friday night, Kearstin had a birthday sleepover. Our house was filled with 6 little girls, ages 4 - 10. It actually went very well, but I had to request that they go to sleep around 1 am. Then Saturday after I dropped them all off, we went to the fair. Kearstin had a drawing entered, and she won a Blue Ribbon! I have a fabulous picture, but I'll have to post that later. Then some rides, and animals, food, and games. It really was fun, very hot, but so nice to just hang out with my girls.

I am out of class for the next three weeks. I don't quite know what I am going to do with myself. I had time enough today to build a workbench for hubby. He was out camping with his brother all weekend, so when he got home, I think he was happy to see it done. We had bought the lumber a few weeks ago, and he really doesn't like building things, so I took over. It actually turned out really well, which I am happy about.

Next semester, I am taking an English course (11 books in 13 weeks), a writing course, and a course on staffing (???). I actually picked up some of the books already. Doesn't hurt to get a head start.

Pictures soon, but until then here is Kami's self portrait, taken at the zoo a couple of weeks ago. Don't ask about the expression, I haven't a clue.
