Awwwww Julie, congratulations again to your little DS. I know exactly how you feel. Just hearing that Pomp and Circumstance music makes a lump in my throat Sounds like y'all enjoyed a fun family day. Sorry you broke your favorite bowl, be careful, you don't want to hurt yours or anyone else's tootsies.
Michael has one more day of school and then he's free as a bird for a few weeks. We are dog-sitting my sister's boss' poodle and Michael just adores her. She's spent summers with us for the past 3 years or so and I told him that she was his graduation present until he has to go back to school Tomorrow they get dismissed from school @ 10:00 a.m. so I think I'm going to cram all my work in today and try to take off work early tomorrow so I can fool around (what's new?)
Does anyone have anything special planned this long weekend? I told Michael that we could pitch the tent in the backyard and sleep outside at least one night this weekend--I am so looking forward to that! NOT! I guess being at home in a tent in the backyard is better than actually being in a tent on the beach or something. I am so not an outdoorsy person I have an air mattress we can use so it should at least be comfortable. I can always sneak back into the house when Michael and Rick are sleeping
Well, gotta get going again, don't want to have to come back to the office tommorow. Have a good night all.
Good Morning! TGIF!! I am so happy it's the weekend..almost.... :-)
Julie... and Noelle.. congrats to your little ones! I bet they looked so cute! I wish we had graduations here.. but we don't .. oh well.
Last night (evening) I took the girls to Hannah's teacher's house. She was having a swim party for her students and family... so Hannah had a GREAT time.. she even jumped off the diving board in the deep end! That was a first... then I couldn't keep her off. It was too cold for Megan, so she just sat on my lap alot, eating everything she could get her hands on. Last night after we got home, I finished up laundry and cleaned the apartment.. dishes, picking up toys, vaccuuming... etc. Girls are packed up and their dad will pick them up this afternoon. I still have them while he works tomorrow.. but after that he has them til Monday. I have no plans other than going over to Alans tonight.. and then tomorrow the girls and I will hang out at the pool I guess and watch a movie tomorrow night or something.
Noelle.. sleeping out in the backyard sounds like fun!!!! Michael will love that!
OK.. well, I have a TON to do today before I leave for the long weekend.. so I better get crackin'! Talk to you soon!
Cherie your night last night sounded fun, but not the cleaning part . You got a swimmer on your hands for sure!! That was really nice of her teacher to do that. I am glad you are getting time with Alan this weekend and the girls with their Dad.
Well I am going to find something for breakfast. Late one. But ds was up at six-twenty. He has been itchy lately and I don't know what it is. He seems fine now.
I really don't have any plans for this weekend. Maybe a cook-out or something. TGIF....hi everyone.
Oh Noelle I forgot to say have fun "camping", you are right you can sneak in the house if it gets to outdoorsy . At least you will not be sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag . Makes me think of smores. YUM .
:-) well, it's almost noon here and I am counting down the hours... it's raining outside however, so not much to do outside.. other than spend time with my sweetie! Oh well... I have gotten alot done here at work... oh.. and I got caught singing.. hahahaha.. I have my headphones on.. and well, I just love my music... and and start singing without realizing it.. I am such a dork!
It's official. Schools out for the summer until July 19 anyway... Michael is being bored out of his skull with me in the office. I came in to get my paycheck and we'll be heading off to lunch soon.
Check these pictures out, my baby who just finished kindergarten
The picture on the left is the first day of school (July 04), then the right on Graduation Day.

Noelle he is a total doll!! He looks so much older now. I know about the bored thing. It is raining here, but...the sun is out at the same time and the sky is dark. Just Beautiful. Well everyone have an wonderful weekend. No plans here, just hopefully relaxing with the family.
I finally have some time to post a little.
We have a 3 day weekend and I'm so glad. I will be childless again tomorrow; hubbie has to work and Ashley's best friend invited her to the lake with the family. I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet. I've got all my grading done and will post grades on report cards Tuesday. Our last day of school is Friday, June 3. We are starting to get ready for our trip.
I found out that I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade writing next year. I won't have to teach Literature this time; I can focus only on writing. I'm really looking forward to it. I will have some of the same students next year that I have this year.....Wait a minute!! I'm not sure that's a good thing.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Julie: Thank you. You were a great help.
Angie: I will try to call sometime this weekend. I want to let you know when we'll be in Maine. Right now it looks like July 2 and 3.
Noelle: Michael looks so cute. He looks so much like his dad. Ashley's graduation last year was really great too. We're going to Disneyland later in July; we're going to take our nephew from Italy who will be visiting. I'll look for those pictures. By the way, thank you for the e-mail. The pictures are great and how exciting that they will be part of Disneyland. I hope you can come out again in the fall.
Kempy: Hope you have a great weekend.
Cherie: I know you'll have a great weekend. Enjoy your childless hours.
Good Morning Everyone! Happy Late Memorial Day to you all. I had a GREAT weekend... I am sore today, and tired... but in a really good mood.
Friday night, I went to see the Star Wars movie... I'm not a SW freak, but it was an OK movie. Saturday, Alan and I went to a corvette auto cross so he could listen to exhausts.. hahaha.. yeah.. not too exciting, but it was time I got to spend with him. That afternoon, I picked up the girls and we went to the pool for a few hours. They went back to their dad's that night and stayed with him til yesterday. Sunday, we got up and went to another auto cross, where Alan and his friend Jonathan actually ran with the corvette. I took pictures of all the cars for them (for the OKSCCA actually). That lasted ALL DAY... I was so tired that evening from the sun and the wind etc.... that night we met back up with a group of about 8 and had a wonderful dinner at PF Changs. Yesterday, we got up early again, and the guys loaded up the ATVs and dirt bikes and we went to the lake and I went four wheeling for a few hours (that is why I am sore). I got the girls back yesterday around 1.. and off to the pool again... then later we had the traditional Memorial Day meal.. watermelon, burgers etc.. and apple pie! YUM... Needless to say, I wasn't watching my diet this weekend.
I am back on track today. Drinking my water..... I've got four days of work, then I drive the girls to Texas this weekend.. YEAH!
Cal.... I know you will be glad school will be over this week. My girls have three more days of classes. Congrats on the writing assignment... Hopefully you will have an easier year.
Noelle... awwwwww Michael is just so handsome! Congrats again! :-)
Julie... I can't remember what I was singing.... today, I will make a point of not listening to music... so I won't disturb the other people.
OK.. well, I have so much to do this week... I'll talk to you all soon!
Cherie, your weekend sounds like you had a wonderful one. Busy but a lot of fun activities all in one. I was totally not watching what I ate either. But I am drinking my water too so hopefully that helps with the pms and water retention from over eating. I wanted to ask you, I might start taking those acolipodus(sp??) pills. Do you still take them, have you noticed a difference in how you feel?? Thanks. Keep on singing ....
Cal Hi I hope you had a nice weekend too.
Well I am going to get going, I had a total of three cook-outs. Plus desserts. But took some long walks. Ugh, I got to work all of it off. Well girls have a good day and I will check back later.
Hey Julie... about Acidophilus... I started taking it because of my internal yeast issues.. my night sweats, not sleeping, etc. Well... what I was taking was a pill form from Nature Made that was in a bottle, kept on my shelf. I've since talked to my step dad, he is a chiropractor, and he does alot of suppilmental therapies.. and he said what I was taking was no good. I need to go to someplace like GNC or a health food store and buy the Acidophilus that is kept in the fridge what contains the live bacteria. I haven't done that yet. However, I have been eating my yogurt almost daily now, and since I've been exercising, and eating right, my night sweats are practically gone. So, yes, I do feel better. I just had to cut back on the sugar and breads.. and just basically doing what we all need to do, exercise and a proper diet. All of that has helped me ten fold in how I feel and the physical aspects I was experiencing.
:-) ok.. back to work... not singing yet... still not music. Maybe later! Oh.... and I've set myself up on a new goal.. Labor Day goal. Something to keep me motivated for the next three months. :-)
Noelle I wanted to mention, I was talking to my mom this weekend and she was watching "THE DOG". I just could not stop laughing watching that guy. I wonder how old he is?? I need him to get me up every morning and kick my butt into shape. But, anyway I wanted to mention he was headed off to the town where you live, I believe. So that was kind of neat. I got to see the area. Okay enough babbling from me. Later Girls....
Sounds like y'all enjoyed a fun family day. Sorry you broke your favorite bowl, be careful, you don't want to hurt yours or anyone else's tootsies.
I guess being at home in a tent in the backyard is better than actually being in a tent on the beach or something. I am so not an outdoorsy person 
I am so happy it's the weekend..almost.... :-)
. At least you will not be sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag
