Crazy thing called life

I know it has been a while since I have had a chance to sit down and write.... Life has been crazy in our house. We have finished Basketball  and  competition season so things in the dance department have slowed down some. But we are now on our way to starting Volleyball Season for KE and still in the midst of Tennis with AM so life is still super busy. I am getting married in 9 days and am totally excited I never really thought I would remarry after the other one was such a miserable fail and so I figured it just want in the cards for me. I guess we will see how this one goes. I am truly scared to death about it to be honest I am so afraid I am going to mess it up. Also our Landlord has decided to sell the house that we live in so I am back to hunting for a rental house that we like and is close to the kids school but I did find a guy who is willing to help us find a house to buy hopefully next year when we get a tax return. I am so glad that the kids are home for good and that they have to spend as little time with their dad as possible. The kids are extremely happy about this. So on the weight lose front I started Weight Watchers and I am in love completely I have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks and that makes me very happy but since I broke my foot a few weeks ago being stupid and kicking the General Lee on accident  and poof the foot broke... It completely sucks and so I go back next week to see if I can take this dang boot off and go back to running..... Then I will completely be super happy.  In the kids lives KN has decided to try out for officer of the Dixie Belles and is very happy about doing the student choreography Contest next weekend she also got the news the other day she is ranked 19th out of 600 in her class.... Mommy and Papa are very proud of her and her very smart brain. AM is loving tennis even if we did have a match the other morning in 28 degree weather... was to cold to even breath..... He is looking forward to playing next year in High school..... KE well she has been having a rough few weeks and we are doing a lot to work on that.... Counseling starts back next week and Volleyball starts in a few weeks... I am praying this will be what she needs so that she can move on and learn to cope with the grief of losing her sister and the divorce and all that stuff......  As far as me well I am enjoying work even with all the crazy stuff and staying busy helps pass the time ........ Until Next Time.... prayers for a safe and happy week for every one and an amazing spring break to all the teachers

Crazyness

OMG it was a crazy weekend...... We had 3 CHRISTmas performances that I am glad are all done. We had to be up at 4 in the morning on Saturday... God bless my poor family....We dropped KN off at the high school at 5:30 and then headed downtown to see the parade. It is the first time any of us have ever been to The Children's Medical Center Parade.....  It was really neat to see all the big balloon floats like they do in the Macy's parade.....Papa and I enjoyed it alot and KN had a blast walking the parade..... When we picked her back up from school we had to head straight to AG dance performance and watch her dance...got a great video and pictures from it......Then we got to go watch KE sign with her elementary school Choir at our cities Christmas tree lighting..... they did fireworks this year and had Tim Urban there from American Idol which the kids all thought was so cool... I am not an AI fan so I had no clue who he was...... We got home so late but went and had Mexican food for dinner which is my total favorite..... Sunday we decided to have a lazy day and so I did get laundry done so no one had to go to work naked which I am sure everyone is thankful for. We also went to visit Papas stepson  and got to talk to him for a little bit. Other then that Sunday was spent in bed doing nothing. I wish all Sundays could be like that but oh well ....... Monday was a great day I worked out and didn't drink any cokes..... and got in most of my water and got to do the Reproductive System with my 7th graders..... I hate doing the Reproductive System ........Today has been nice and slow so far.....on the Custody battle front he has signed the papers and so praying all this crap will be over soon

Dr. Pepper Anonymous

So I am on day 2 of no Dr Pepper and I really think today I might kill someone before this day is over. I am in a super cranky mood with my students which is totally not like me at all.......I had to go in and change what I was eating today on MFP because the school cafeteria didn't have any baked potatoes so I had a chef salad and only ate the stuff off the top cause the lettuce looked yucky.....I have to work late today so no running will happen today and we have a dang basketball game tonight that doesn't start till 8... I have no clue how long a basketball game even is but I am thinking today its to long...... I never knew that drinking so much Dr Pepper would make me this cranky.... I have sucked down almost 50 oz of water for the day so far which puts me close to my goal of 100 oz a day... I am so tired of being FAT and this time its all or nothing and I am planning on giving it my all......So its time for me to put my big girl panties on and just do it...... So yes I have to work late but I love doing Survival Bunch with my Autistic guys they are the best and love me as much as I love them... I am going to go home and make Tacos which are one of my favorites and even though I have to go to a basketball game at least I get to see KN dance and have a wonderful time with my family..... And tomorrow is a new day.....as for the rest of the week should fly by ... praying I can get a run in on Wed and Friday and then KN is dancing in the Adolphus parade in Downtown Dallas I have watched this parade on TV for so many years and this will be the first time I will get to attend it I am thinking is should be so much fun and a new experience.... Then the same afternoon KE is singing in the CHRISTmas tree lighting for the city we live in which is also going to be a lot of fun since we have gone pretty much every year I can remember ..... and my kids love it and so do I. Sunday I am not doing a dang thing but I might try to get a run in which would be nice.....hope you all have an amazing week and we will see how my DPA goes this week ......Hi I am T and I am addicted to Dr Pepper.........Smooches

Walk to Remember

This weekend we did a Alzheimers walk. It was so much fun to be on the lake walking with our flowers blowing in the air. We had a blast doing it as a family and have decided to do more of them together.

 Friday we had a football Game and got beat really bad....63-7 it was a horrible game but the girls danced really well and their kick line looked awesome.  After the walk on Saturday I think the whole house napped most of the afternoon. On Sunday for my Birthday I didnt do a whole lot of anything other then sit around the house and spend some time with my kids........My sister and her family came over for dinner so we had pizza and a cookie cake...... to much fun. It now the end of my day on Monday and it has been super busy day...... But I have been very productive with paperwork today and not much else. Tomorrow starts out Survival Bunch classes after school.... I am really excited our first lesson is on what Autism is.... and some really cool social skills games. should be fun.....

Craziness

Well we have made it through another week praise the Lord. I have been running around like chicken with my head cut off the last few days at work. Getting ARD stuff ready for a couple of kids and still trying to help the ones who come in my class. feels like I am going 15 different ways and not accomplishing a dang thing. We had a super nonproductive weekend...... I am extremely grateful for....... Friday night was of course FOOTBALL we got our butts kicked by our life long rivals who haven't won a game in like 4 years and they beat us really badly....guess the underdog has to get a win every once in a while.......but no more of them beating us I hope........ Saturday was pretty boring hung out at my aunts house in the man cave for a little bit with my dad who I don't get to see very often and went to Wally World to make one of KN CHRISTmas presents...... she is totally going to love......Sunday the whole house didn't even make it out of our jammies........God bless wonderful days like that.... It was super cold so we made some stew and hung out on the couch. Monday was staff development... our presenter was amazing he talked on differential learning and not putting your students into a mold of what they are or aren't....... Very enlightening...... Tuesday my oldest KN turned 15 ....OMG I can not believe that she is 15 I am very blessed that she is  an AMAZING child and very smart and acts nothing like a typical teenager...... We made her favorite dinner ham, mac and cheese, carrots, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs...... She is carb queen since she dances 100+ hours a week and is still skinny as a bean pole....... All 3 kids had a homework free night last night so it was nice to be able to spend the time as a family. We have a court date set for the 24th of Oct. I am praying this will be the last one and that everything will workout in our favor the kids will be home all the time with me again where they belong and where they want to be. All will be well and like it should..........This weekend is super busy Friday of course is football woohoo fun, Sat we are doing an Alzheimer's walk that the whole fam is doing....... And my little cousin has a birthday party we are going to ........ Sunday is my birthday so I am sure we wont do much ......... I hope all of you have a safe and wonderful week and weekend

Band Wagon

So I am jumping back on my healthier band wagon today. I have trying to eat better and work out daily except Sundays cause that is my cheat day...... I did really good for a month and then I fell off the band wagon and I have felt like poo since so its time for me to get back on.......I just finished drinking my last Dr. Pepper. I am going to continue to put my food in my food tracker and being honest about what I am putting in my pie hole. C25K starts again this week and I am ready to be a runner.

In other news we had a wonderful weekend A football game.... we won.... barely but we did win.... KN was named Dixie Belle of the week and we are so proud of her. She had an amazing time at the pep rally. I am so happy to see her loving high school.... I hated high school and school in general was very hard for me.

AM got to play with the high school band this week at the football game and they did an awesome job. He is not going to continue to play once he gets in high school but he is enjoying it for now......

KE was quiet this weekend she spent alot of time just being with no homework to do and plenty of time to do nothing but enjoy all the rain we got.... I wish I could find something she liked to other then nothing /...... We need to work on this.....

 We also got Santa list done and had a soccer game for AG and 50th Anniv. celebration at my school that I got to attend as an alumni and staff which was very cool .... got to see a few of my old teachers and principle.... Its awesome to be here on staff ... the place really has not changed much since I was here....

I hope you have all had a great weekend I know I did......
