Life Happens

   As so often seems to be the case, life happens and my blog suffers for it. Between school, Chase being sick, and baseball practice it seems like there is never enough time for everything.
   The 3rd nine week grading period just ended. According to the school website it looks like Jean'-Luc will be bringing home 1 A, 1 B, and 2 C's. Definitely an improvement.
   Last week we had baseball practice on two nights. This week we have practice three nights. Coach decided they need more batting practice, so practice is at 4 tomorrow. The only catch to that is he doesn't get off the bus until 4:10. We told the coach tonight he'll be late, but he'll be there.
   Chase is over his bug, thank goodness. He's a lot like Jerry, he hardly ever gets sick, but when he does, he does.
   We're going to Enterprise this weekend to help my mom empty her storage unit. Should be fun. I'm happy we're getting a chance to go see the family. She is sending us home with all kinds of goodies.

Looking forward to a quiet Sunday at home.

   I am looking forward to spending a nice, quiet Sunday at home with my hubby and kiddos. I still feel like crap after having that tooth pulled Thursday. Plus I still have that dog gone cough. I seriously need to figure out how to make it leave. I've coughed my way into a migraine. I hate when that happens. I hate being sick. I always have. It seems like now it's worse. Seems like the older I get, the longer it takes me to recover. Having a tooth pulled on top of it was probably not the smartest move I've ever made, but the pain was to the point of unbearable. Still have pain, but it's a different kind of pain. I know the pain from having it pulled will be gone in the next day or so. As long as I remember not to chew on that side.

   School is out Monday so I have to figure out how to entertain Jean'-Luc all day. I think I'll let him and Chase play on the Wii. It worked for me for most of today. I love seeing them get along. Makes life easier on me.

Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday (2-10) was my 32nd birthday. I had a fabulous day. My husband bought me a new Citizen watch, I love it. He got me a Cookie Cake with purple (fave color) icing. I love that he actually takes the time to put thought into my present.
Also in other happy news I received word that I have been picked to participate in another Sample Share by Crowdtap. This one is for Old Navy. I am so very excited to have been chosen for this opportunity. Pictures to follow after I go shopping. =)
Jean'-Luc got progress reports on Thursday. I am happy to report 1 A (Science), 2 B's (Social Studies & English), and 1 C (Math). The C in Math is up from a D so we are very proud of the hard work he has put in.

 My gorgeous cake.

 My very special watch.

Family Time

Spending time with my family is one thing that always makes me smile. The entire house smells like chili. My first attempt at making it on my own, and it smells divine. Tastes pretty good too, if I do say so myself.
The kids are playing with Chase's firetruck. We're watching "Hook". Robin Williams does a fantastic job as Peter Pan, and Dustin Hoffman makes a wonderful Captain Hook. If you've never seen it I would definitely recommend it. It's a great kids movie. The next movie I'm planning for Movie Night is "Muppet Treasure Island", if I can ever catch it on at a decent hour.
I love being able to share movies, books, and other things that I enjoyed with my kids. It's nice being able to pass that along to them. Earlier Jean'-Luc read 3 books to Chase. One of them was "If You Give A Pig A Party" it's a sequel (kinda) to "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie". I love seeing them spend time together. Plus it gives Chase story time, and Jean'-Luc reading practice all at the same time. Also, right now in his spare time, he's reading "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
Very proud of Jean'-Luc. His hard work paid off this week. He got a 100 on his reading test, and a 100 on his grammar test. Can't wait to see what he does on his science and social studies tests this coming week.
My life is so very blessed right now. I have a husband I adore who I know adores me as well, great kids, and we're all healthy. Who could ask for more? Not me. Right now I'm a very happy lady.

Puppy.

It has come to my attention that my son's puppy was apparently dropped on her head at least once as a smaller puppy! For some reason this dog thinks the sun rises and sets in my son's butt!! He plays a little rough with her, and he shrieks, you know being a typical toddler. Well she gets tired of him and goes to mind her own business. After about 5 minutes if he has not found her, she goes looking for him. Now me personally, if I am being bothered enough to go hide, I am not going to look for my tormentor. Not this dog, she has to be right there with him. It is nice to see how they have bonded though. At least when he's not jealous that is!
