Update:


In case you haven't noticed, there is an additional child in our family photo. I would like you all to meet the newest member of our family. She is the pretty little 7 year old in the purple dress. "Eloise" now has a little sister. We have decided to call her, "Amelia Bedelia".

On The Road Again....


At the end of this month I will receive my Associates degree in the Science of Teaching.

For my graduation my parents decided to buy me a new set of wheels.

Isn't she a beauty?

I guess they figured that I should be highly visible for safety reasons.

I must say the only thing that I ever owned that was that shade of pink, came in a bottle from the drug store.

I'm not complaining....really....I just think it is hilarious!

I guess it fits for a nearing middle aged woman riding a scooter.

I really do enjoy tooling around the neighborhood on it.

Now hubby gets to brag that he is married to a biker babe. ROTFL!

Hey maybe I'll get a pink leather jacket for Mother's Day?!?



***P.S. What do you think about my new blog look?***

Freedom...


The end of the semester has finally arrived! This chick has successfully completed 27 classes with nothing below a "B"

I only have 18 more classes to go to get my Bachelors degree.


To date I have also completed 2 Praxis Exams, 1 Portal assesment, and 1 Disposition Review

So I have 1 Praxis, 1Portal, 1 Disposition Review, and 130 more observation hours to go before I'm a real teacher.


I am definately taking the summer off...and maybe the fall so I can make up some of my observation hours and spend more time with my family.


By the way.....WE ALSO JUST PAID OFF OUR CAR. WOOHOO!
NO MORE CAR PAYMENTS!


Look out summer here I come.

SWINE FLEW......

LOL!
I'm such a cornball, but it's o.k.


A local radio station asked the audience to come up with a new name for the swine flu because some people were offended. My husband didn't call in, but turned to me and said, "They should call it UFLAE." When questioned he responded, "It's Pig Latin for Flu." My husband is such a scholar!
;-D

It's That Time Again!



This morning we loaded up the Birthday Breakfast Tray, marched into the bedroom, and serenaded the sleeping person of honor.

It usually takes a few minutes for PaPa Bear to realize whats going on when he is suddenly awaken from hibernating.
P.S. Don't tell him about this picture....
he might take my camera somewhere and lose it!
P.S.S. Next week is my last week of class and assignments, then comes finals.
I just found out that I Passed my portal assessment exam!
I honestly thought I might have failed because I don't do well on timed tests.
Well, that's another huge hurdle out of the way.
Until Next Time,
~ME

One Busy Little Bunny....

It is 1:30 am. I can officially say, "Happy Easter"!
I must be insane.
I just finished writing a paper for school and I have one more to write in between church today.
Above are the 30 goody bags, 50 sugar filled plastic eggs, 2 dozen dyed eggs, and 4 Easter Baskets necessary to celebrate the resurrection of Christ.
(Please know that I am so not being serious)
BLESSINGS Y'ALL!
I'm going to sleep now...
Three more weeks till finals!

Put on Your Easter Bonnet......

This is my FAVORITE (only) niece.


This is the hat that I made for her school's annual Easter Hat Parade.


This is the newest addition to our extended family.
(As strange as they may seem, I'm sure that extra set of hands will come in handy.LOL)
When she is big enough I will make a hat for her parade too.

What was I thinking!?!

There I was standing in line at a local meat market. The market is also a popular lunch spot. Several customers came in and ordered something that I had seen, but never eaten. Before I could stop myself I said to the clerk, "I think I would like to try that." So he quickly presented me with a sample. At that moment I lost my nerve, but I couldn't refuse something I just requested. So I closed my eyes and took a tiny bite. Surprisingly it was actually good. So when I got back in my car, I immediately called my husband to tell him what I ate and he informed me that he was never going to kiss me again! While I admit that it wasn't bad, I do not think it is something I will be ordering again because of the social stigma. LOL! I know you're probably screaming WHAT WAS IT!!!! by now so here it is.....

COW TONGUE!

I know I have probably just repulsed 90% of my audience (self included).

I figured since my blog has been fairly boring due to school

I needed to do something to shake things up around here!
