Ketchup??

Wow, summer is speeding by already...We went camping in Medora for Memorial day Weekend. It was fun, kind of cold, but I prefer that it not be really hot when we camp in a non electrical campground. There were some wild horses in our campsite twice, so that was exciting. The bison weren't too active. Isaac was able to complete the booklet to become a junior park ranger. He recieved two badges for his efforts and had to wear both of them all weekend. He also wanted to go to the Cowboy Museum so we did since it was a little rainy. I didnt find it that interesting but Isaac enjoyed it.

In June, we planned and then canceled a couple of camping trips. the weather has just been too stormy.

We stayed home for the 4th of July. Our neighborhood had a great time lighting off fireworks, we were all out on the street until after midnight. It is so awesome to have such fun, friendly neighbors.

Last week, we spent a few days with Todd's family on their farm. Both of his brothers were able to come this year so we had a good visit. We also had some canoe rides on the dam, a couple of campfires, and roasted marshmallows.

Happy Father's day

Happy Father's day first of all to my Dad!

And next to Todd!

Love you guys!!

SUMMER!!

I am done with my long term subbing position! Yeah!!!

I got the room all packed up tonight and turned in my keys! What a relief to be done! I am so jazzed about going back to being "just" a mom again!!!

I Miss.....

Since I have been working so much I have begun to realize all that I miss around the house...

I miss my voice, with the allergies, and a kindergarten class, I seem to have lost mine.

I miss cooking. I mean I actually miss being able to have time to plan a decent meal and enjoy cooking it for my family. and those of you who know me, know I have never been a fan of cooking.

I miss having time to clean my house, I dont like having to squeeze in a quick scrubbing of the tub and calling it "good enough". Honestly, I have been sticking to my kitchen floor for almost a week now.

I miss my friends, I dont have time to even talk to my husband, let alone chat with my girlfriends.

And most of all, I miss my son's attitude. With my working a lot, he is so tired that I don't even get the "tude" anymore, and honestly I really miss being able to spend so much time with him that he is "sick" of me.

Sorry...

Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated this blog...

We are all healthy again...I had to go back in for my ear infection and get more antibiotics. Isaac had a cold that went into his eye, so he went in for drops. And Todd just coughed a lot.

I have been soooo busy with the subbing. The lesson plans involve a lot of work at home since I don't have much if any prep time during my days at school. The students have been a lot of fun, most are little darlings.

Only 2 1/2 weeks left but A LOT to get done in that time...assessments, report cards, field trips to prepare for, kindergarten graduation program to learn songs and poems for, etc.

I would just like to note that while I am very busy with all of this, that I could easily have been busier, but several staff members have been helping out to ease the work load! I can't say enough about the staff at this school. They have been so incredibly helpful and supportive. They are such an awesome group of people!

What the friday??

It must be nice to have so much money that you have no idea what to do with it....geez....I don't just mean the ring, which is stupid enough, but to pay for an entire wedding every year? give me a break!

Another one bites the dust...

I had a very bad cold before Easter, woke up with an ear infection on Easter morning, I still have not regained full hearing in my left ear.

This weekend, Todd started coughing and complaining of cold symptoms. Today he went to the doctor but, luckily, he doesnt have any infection...
