I was tagged by Picturing of Life to do this Frienship Chain so hey who am I to turn it down!
The other night when I was feeling really upset over what was happening with Jay at school, I sat here and scrolled down through my family blog to look at the pictures of what we have done over the past year. It brought back a lot of good fun memories and also reminded me of how much I miss my good friend Kim from back home in New Brunswick.
We spent a lot of time talking at the bus stop while our kids played and I will never forget the day that my son and her sun where covered up to there ears in sand. Kohl and Daniel had a blast. Kohl spent his time digging himself a hole then ended up sitting it, meanwhile little Daniel was off filling his hat with sand and dumping it on his head. Before we knew it Kohl was not only sitting in but started to bury himself with the sand then Daniel came along to help. So I had some laundry to get done at this point but they were having fun. The final result was nothing but Kohl's head sticking out of the sand. This is just one of the many great days spend after school with the kids! 
them over and all 3 kids did show and improvement this report and Kohl my little guy in his first year of school is finally reading. This has just happened all of a sudden, for homework he has 2 short books to read and I was shocked when he picked it up and started reading it to himself. I am amazed at how many words he knows. It seems like less than a month ago he couldn't or wouldn't read any words on his word list. I am so proud of him and he is very proud of himself. After each book he reads he always finishes saying " I did it! I am so proud that I can read". Then you should see his smile :0)
...What kind of tv show is that? I mean my God I am sitting here at the computer listening to it and why on earth would anyone want put themselves and their relationship through that kind of crap and stress. Relationships are hard enough without all the extra drama. Apparently this tv show is a game of truth to win a certain amount of money I am not sure of all the details of it this is the first time I've listened to it and was shocked at the questions this girl was being asked.....did you love someone else when you got married?...did you a sexual relation with someone else while you were married? You get the idea...I was sweating just waiting for you answers then to see if she was telling the truth or not...I don't know how things are going to be between this couple but a divorce could be where she will be spending her money LOL

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night. This time should be budgeted in the following manner:
* 15 minutes looking for assignment * 11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment * 23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and just does not like children * 8 minutes in the bathroom * 10 minutes getting a snack * 7 minutes checking the TV Guide * 6 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment * 10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment
LONG TERM ASSIGNMENTS
These are given the night before they are due. This explains the name "long term". It is a long term commitment to time that begins at 9:30PM and ends at 11:50PM - or later. It is important that the whole family is involved in the project. It is imperative that at least one family member races to Walmart/KMart for posterboard, and that at least one family member ends up in tears (does not have to be the student).
One parent needs to stay up and complete the project. The other parent needs to call the school and leave a message that the student is out sick.
It is not necessary to have the student's name on the assignment.

It wasn't looking good last night for Kohl. He was invited to a birthday party which was today and but last night was sick. I had already posted that he was feeling much better and he showed no signs of being sick. He was full of energy and spent the day playing nintendo Wii with his older brother so I thought he would be fine to attend the birthday party. I put in down for a sleep this afternoon and he slept until 3:00pm then we got ready and headed to the party for 4:00pm. The party was at McDonalds and he had a great time with his friends from school...I think there were 18 kids in total and what a mess and noise but that is to be expected :0) After sitting there for over 2 hours I am happy to be home and the kids are getting ready for bed. Kohl is looking a little pale so hopefully some more sleep will help him so that he can go to school tomorrow.
I am happy to say that after Kohl being sick yesterday and throughout the night he woke up this morning and feeling great and very happy that he might be able to attend his friends birthday party later on today. He handled being sick like a trooper and never cried or complained once about it and apparently he was sick throughout the night but never woke us up....he used his bowl and went back to sleep. I feel bad, I should have been there but I guess he had everything under control. He is now down in the kitchen eating breakfast and talking about this birthday party so hopefully he stays feeling better and I will wait for the next kid to get sick....who will it be?
I use to spend a lot (most) of my time confined in my computer room working on the computer, blog hopping, paying bills and all that stuff and after months of doing this I was starting to feel trapped so hubby bought me a laptop for Valentine's Day and OMG freedom. Last night I was exhausted and just wanted to lay in bed to keep warm so up I went (early) and so did my laptop. I was so nice to be able to play around on the computer and be comfortable at the same time. If it wasn't for having my laptop in bed with me I would have missed out on $35 worth of opps. So already the laptop is starting to pay for itself. One monthly payment down...how many more to go lol Anyway back to hubby. He mentioned this morning that he might look into getting a laptop for himself. I think it's a great idea and he would be able to take it with him on business meetings and not have to take my pink one, I think he mentioned the ruby red. 
I now have 3 children already in school which only leaves 1 left to go. I am in no hurry to send him and because of his birthday being so close to the end of the year I have the choice to send him or give him an extra year home. Being the last child I immediately say I want him to stay home but Blake is so ready to go to school now and I feel it wouldn't be fair to him to keep him home that extra year. Blake loves to learn and at the age of 3 he can already recognize his letters (out of order) and he knows their sounds. Now when we read to him he wants to be able to read words and is asking about the punctuation marks because he knows that they aren't letters so punctuation it is. Some of the teachers tell me to save some learning for school and other say let him learn. It's not like I sit here all day and teach him this is stuff he has picked up from TV and his older siblings. I can't take credit for it. He just isn't happy unless he is learning. So with this being said I guess I will have to deal with the fact that my baby boy will be going to school a year ealier than I hoped.
Not only did my daughter Trinity win a cake at school on Valentine's Day but today when I went into the school to pick her up she came running to me with great excitement and told me that she won the fire safety draw for her class. The prize bag had lots of great things including chips, juice box, fireman teddy bear and other goodies and stickers along with $10 McDonald Gift certifates! She was pretty proud to have won and plans on taking her daddy out for supper some night soon :0)
Last night as I was tucking in my children it hit me once again at how well they go to bed without complaining. They now the bedtime routine and get their teeth brushed and hop into bed. Most nights they are allowed to watch one tv show before getting tucked in. It is so nice to be able to put the kids to bed without the fighting and they drift off to sleep with pleasant happy thoughts to get them through until morning! The last thing I want to do to end the day is fight with my children....I am blessed with these four amazing children and thank God everyday for them :0)
Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me…You brought another friend…And then there were 3…We started our group…Our circle of friends…And like that circle…There is no beginning or end…Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.So now, let’s see how many circles of friends we can make by simply adding your link on this Friendship Meme!
Tammy from Mom Knows Everything has started this great new spotlight where she post about one of her blogging friends. This week she put me in the spotlight and I was very happy to give Tammy the information she needed to do the post. The spotlight will help bloggers get to know a little bit more about each other. What a great idea! Thank you Tammy for chosing me for the spotlight :0)
