1st Day of School

-

The first day of school started out very rocky! Charlie was cranky and didn't want a picture taken. For her first day she went to school with mom upset,her eyes red from being angry and teary eyed all because of a school picture! Crazy girl. After I got her to school, I had time to cook breakfast for the Wegley's and relax a bit with Val and Ethan. Ethan had a late start until
1215p. I made quiche, sausage, and Mark got us fruit. We hung out, made them take the personality test, and chatted with the kids. It was fun. After that I took my last Ativan because I have been hyper stressed and went to work on Charlie's Schuletute. My themes was going to be an ice cream cone but then I remembered her teacher was a bee keeper so I thought it fitting to use that theme. The gifts inside all revolved around hygenine and improving herself. So she got:
Hair tie
Multiplication cards
Division cards
Wild strawberry Toms Toothpaste
Fiber gummies
A stuff miniature bee called "flowers"
Socks
Dinosaur bath bomb
A fox notebook (she loves drawing foxes)
Press on kids painted nails


Ethan's day was good. He said he only got a few minutes in each class so no homework. Our focus every year with him is homework but more importantly it is organization and limiting screen time this year so that he gets sleeps at night. He has to be in good shape physically for soccer and mentally for school. I believe in him!!!!

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
