Up to Speed Thursday

1. Yeah, I know...I am awful at blogging lately. I know.

2. Work, school, kids, taekwando, making lunches, gymnastics, dance, speech, trainings, dinner, homework, lesson planning...yeah I think you get the idea.

3. Lice. Yes lice. The nasty, gross thing called lice entered our house 2 weeks ago. Creppy. I don't know how else to describe it. Poor Emerson:( Thanks to a great pediatrician and a very expensive prescription, we are all good and all clear.

4. Taekwando. Quite possibly the funniest hour of childhood sport around. When the "Master" introduces himself as Jackie Chann, you know it is going to be good.

5. Rescheduled my knee surgery finally. Cannot wait.

6. Is September really almost over? Where did the time go? Although the end of September means a paycheck for me...first since June. Gotta love that.

7. So glad that tomorrow is Friday. I am very ready. This week has been busy, crazy, unmanageable, hectic, fun, exciting, neurotic...all of the above.

8. Grey's starts tonight!!!! Enough said.

9. LOVE football. Love it. I think we sat on the couch all last weekend watching college, then more college, then NFL, then more NFL. Love this time of year.

10. Okay, trying to keep myself alert, since I still have 2 hours and 4o minutes to make it through the 2 hour premiere of Grey's. I. Am. Not. Going. To. Fall. Asleep.

Lots of love,

Labor Day Getaway

After a full week back at work and school, temperatures reaching over 110 with humidity, and needing to take advantage of a 3-day weekend...how would would you escape? We headed to the beach!

We spent two days in Newport Beach enjoying the relatively cooler temps and the company of great friends.

? on Wednesday

1. I am a day late...so I have no idea how many things I will write about for Wednesday.

2. We started school on Monday and it has flown by. And it feels like it should be June already. And I am exhausted. And is it Friday yet?

3. Brennan started Taekwando last week. We love it! He is excited to go and I love the life lessons they are teaching him. It is also a bit of comedy to watch.

4. I changed grade levels this year. Challenging? Am I crazy? Excited? Overwhelmed? Thrilled? I really do love it, just trying to keep my head above water.

5. We are having the most disgusting weather at the moment. Hot and HUMID. Last I checked I did not live in Florida. But I have been questioning it quite a bit all week.

6. I am back in the world of lunch making, uniform washing, lesson planning, and homework helping. Craziness is back.

7. Aren't they cute?

Okay, that's all I've got...I need to go to bed.

Lots of love,

How time flies...

First day of school!

Emerson started 1st grade and has loved her first two days. Brennan is in PreK and loving his new class.

Lots of love,
