• Slacker and then some...

  WOW, I posted 2 times this whole month!  What is that all about?  I do not know why I have not been wanting to post on here.  Has nothing to do with Xanga.  I still enjoy it and I try to get around and check out other's blogs.  I think it may be that I like Facebook better.  But I am going to try to do a much better job keeping up on this one.  This post will probably be long because I am going to just write about whatever pops into my mind.

  
  Lucky you, at least the few of you who still check the blog out once in a while.

  I just went way bac into the blog starting with Jan 1, 2006.  I was looking to see if I ever posted Jakes bedroom on here after we did it when we first moved in.  I will tell you why in a minute.  Anyway I started going through a bunch of old posts.  Oh my goodness it was so sweet to remember things, and see pictures of Jake so small.  I do miss those days even though I love his age right now too!  It was bitter sweet.  I wonder if there is a way to print off these posts and scrabook them somehow? I would hate to loose all this if one day Xanga shut down permanently.  Hmm....something to think about.  Anyway the reason I was looking for the post on Jake's room is because of this person's blog: Kelly  She has been asking her readers to post pictures of their house one room at a time each week on Friday.  Today was children's room.  She has a lot of readers and WOWZIE WOW WOW!  Some people really have a nack for decorating.  I wanted to post mine.  I think I have to go back a little farther to find it.  Oh well.  Anyway check it out.  Plus her baby is just to cute not to look at her pics!

  So summer vacation has started for us.  Jake has completed Pre K!  YEAH!  I am actually glad this year is over.  I know Jake learned a lot but over all I was not impressed with his teacher.  She had some poor communication with us and some of the things she did were kind of a let down.  No end of the year celebration.  The real thing that bothered me the most is that I felt like parents were not really welcomed into the classroom.  She never asked for help except for for field trips or to have food brought in.  I will give her credit that she actually let me and my friend Suzana plan the Christmas party, which wasn't really a big party.  It was her first time letting a parent do that.  Of course, both our kids were sick so we did all the work and she threw the party!  I did learn a lot though being a parent this time of what it is like to be opposite the teacher.  I think I understand more now of how a parent feels when they have to approach you about a situation that may be uncomfortable, like singeling out your child in front of the class, and I also realized how important it is to communicate.  Let the parents know what is going on in the class each week so that they have something to talk about with their child.  Don't tell me we are doing math...what kind of math. Oh well, it is over and I know that in the end Jake was happy because he keeps asking me when he is going back to school...I am starting to ask the same thing.  I just hope he has an awesome teacher in Kindergarten.

  Speaking of Jake he crashed and burned yesterday on his bike.  Thank God we are not doing pictures anytime soon:
  

  

  We are going to Disney World in a few weeks.  All of us are excited about this trip.  First we are going to see my parents and stay there for a few days.  I have not been home since the Summer of 2006!  Can't believe that.  I have seen my parents since then but not at there home.  If anybody has any good advice to pass on about Disney please do.  We are going during the week and staying at Shades of Green.  I am so ready for a vacation.

  Well golly, I really thought I had a lot more to say.  But I am going to try to stay on this and blog at least 2 times a week.  I am also challenging many of my readers out there to do the same if not one up me!  I am getting tired of going to someones blog and the same post from a week or two ago is still there.  I am only guessing you feel the same way if you check out my blog.  To those who are still blogging along, thank you.  I may not comment on your blog, but I do enjoy reading it.

  Have a great weekend!

  Oh one more thing.  I am having surgery on Tuesday, it is a procedure called NovaSure.  Anyone every have it done or heard of it?  Basically, and this may be TMI for some, it stops or almost stops your periods.  Mine are aweful and I am so looking forward to this surgery.  Please think of me on Tuesday that all goes well. 

  Ciao for now!
