Countdown…..

again!   I forgot one teeny weeny little countdown on top of our countdown to Zambia.   13 days remaining is this school year!  Well, if you are strictly referring to MY school year, make that TWELVE days!  I am taking a personal day tomorrow to do, well, personal things.   The husband and I […]

Is Zambia Ready for this Crew?

This is the group of staff kids going to Zambia (minus two teenagers).  Aren’t they a cute bunch?  It was fun (and noisy) getting them all together last night. The tall gal next to Pumpkin is 18 hours younger than she!  They have already played together a few times so it was fun for them […]

Countdown

Oh mylanta!  The husband leaves two weeks from today and then the kids and I will quickly follow.  Oh the list.  You should see the to do list.  It is long.  Very, very long.  There are things that are not on the list like spend every waking moment with the family.  There is a problem with […]

I have an embarrassing confession

I have another addiction.  This time it is simply a song.  A song from a movie.   A song from a kids’ movie.  A song from a teeny bopper.   I am a bit fond of Hoedown Throwdown.  And if you think I know the moves, think again.  I don’t.  Well, I am a slow […]

Well, looky here…I have a blog

I guess I forgot about this little thing I was once addicted to.  Have I mentioned a new love?  Well, I actually have two loves.  George and Facebook.   Wanna know what is going on?   April 3rd was the dear husband’s 35th b-day.  That sorta slipped right through the busy days.  Not really.  I […]
