« Previous EntriesFinding A Schedule!!
Saturday, September 29th, 2007Before we moved here–well, farther than that really–I was able to keep my kids on a pretty good schedule–I could keep track of their homework and notes home for the teacher–or library books. My mornings weren’t so crazy as they are now–mind you, school starts this year, the same time they were getting out of [...]
She’s Home!!
Friday, September 28th, 2007My aunt is home. Ok, she actually got home Tuesday night, but I didn’t get the chance to talk to her until last night. As always-instant messaging with her is a Par-tay! We even hit the “scribble” mode on the message screen. I drew a tree and a house with some flowers–she added [...]
No Halloween!!
Friday, September 28th, 2007The area we just moved to does not do Halloween in the schools. I’m amazed by this–and a little saddened-it’s my favorite school party there is. They are still having the party–it’s just a “Fall Festival” party and there are no costumes. I’ve always loved going to school and taking pictures [...]
Elk Grove Village!!
Friday, September 28th, 2007My husband’s restaurant is in Elk Grove Village, Illinois–and every time we go–we pass the two things that give the village it’s name. The Elk and the Grove. Literally. Today–after passing them for months, I’m going to take the kids over to see the Elk. You park in the parking lot–and they [...]
Birthday Shopping!!
Thursday, September 27th, 2007I went to Toys R Us yesterday. I needed to put my two youngest kids in the ride on cars to see if they were too big for them. You see, Toys R Us has the smaller version on sale for $99 down from $150. That is an amazing savings–when you consider–I [...]
Starting Homeschooling!!
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Today was my first day homeschooling Blake. I think it’s funny that we call it that, because it makes it sound so much bigger than what it is. You see, she’s in Pre-K, so it’s not even a requirement that she be in Preschool, but for her–it’s a nice way to make sure [...]
Genki-ness!!
Thursday, September 27th, 2007When I first started this blog–I wanted it’s title to be “Genki-ness”, but as most people have never heard the term Genki–I thought I would be pushing my luck with that one. Genki means Happy–so of course, Genki-ness would be the “Japerican” (yes, totally just made that word up!!) way of saying Happiness, or [...]
He’s In Constant Pain!!
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Has someone you loved ever lived with constant, un-ignorable pain? Real pain? The kind that shoots throughout your body at the slightest touch? That would be my poor husband. It’s breaking my heart, and I don’t know what to do for him!
He was injured over 3.5 years ago. He was working as a Sous Chef [...]
Window Shopping!!
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007We went to the mall by our new house tonight. It is so nice not having to get on the expressway to get to the mall! I only needed two things from Sears, but of course, we have to check out every other store, and get a pretzel–it’s just not a trip to [...]
My Biorythms!!
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I was on a website earlier today charting my biorhythms. I remember when I was a senior in high school we were taught how to do this, and it literally could show you your own personal highs and lows during the day. The past week or so, I’ve had so much energy-and have gotten so [...]
