Awesome, Mommy

The sound in two little boys voice when we put up the Christmas lights tonight. They don't care that they aren't perfect. They don't care that we need two more strands and they need to be stretched out, or that they are sagging because their mom isn't very tall (it is okay dad, I don't know where those short legs came from). They simply think it is great that we have Christmas lights outside.


I had a great day today- I didn't go to work, instead I had a doctors appt. and I spent the day doing errands all by myself, with the help of Grandma Chuck. She was a great companion- no complaining, no vote for lunch and she truthfully didn't care what we did. She spent Thanksgiving weekend with her sister Margaret in Omaha and was due in from the train at 10:09, yes I was there waiting to help her. I met her at the train and carried her luggage, we went to the lovely doctor, she rested in the hot sunny car, we then checked out Wal-Mart and grocery shopped. She truly is an easy companion at her young spry age. I enjoyed the afternoon with Grandma and hope she gets a little rest this evening.

- I wish all the rest of you get the same lovely comment- "AWESOME MOMMY"!!!!!!- when you Deck the Halls this season.

Good Helper

Yes Tucker and I enjoyed a good morning of shopping. He was a very good little boy(santa might find him) while we were braving the crowds, however we didn't go anywhere to crazy to begin with, Tractor Supply was pretty relaxed and Wal-Mart wasn't to bad about 7:30. We found some things that we went for and some things that we needed-or I thought we needed or someone needed. It was a successful day and I can say I am about done with the shopping for Christmas I think. I need to do a little more but, not really to many. I also am thankful that Papa Dickie took Tayden home with them yesturday and he hasn't been home since about 10:00 am Thursday. We are planning a relaxed weekend and I am working on cleaning the house, (I thought I needed a break).

Have a Great Weekend.

Way to go Dad!

The boys were excited to see that their dad shot a 9 point buck on Friday night with his bow. Yeah Daddy way to go!!!

I was excited also, that means he has filled his tag and he is done hunting for a while.

Happy Birthday Tayden Lee Bish

Not sure if he is picking his nose or thinking"I get to blow them out!!"

I really would like your opinion on the cake let me know what you think????

He was really excited opinioning all the gift, they were somewhat scattered.

Tayden Lee Bish turns 5 years old today. It is amazing how fast these last five years have went and what all we have accomplished. Tayden is a fun, loving, energetic little boy. He does what he is suppose to most of the time. Yesturday moring we were discussing the birthday party and I asked him what he would do if theire was no Batman Cave for his birthday? He said, "well I will say that's ok, maybe when I turn 6." I responded with some kids don' t get any toys or presents, so just be glad you are going to have some to unwrap.
As normal he got more than enough birthday presents. He was a good little opener and did a great job with the cake. Happy 5th Birthday Tayden Bish!

I have gave my best.

I have gave my best at creating the birthday cake, by request from Tayden who will soon be 5. He wanted a deer with an arrow sticking out and blood, and a little boy in a tree who shot the buck with a bow. I have just accomplished the goal and we will see what others think tomorrow and I will post pictures soon for your opinions. What stories do you think he listens to mine or dads??

to TOUGH to tell

Well as most of you know I have a little boy that seems to catch being sick very, very easy. Tucker is a little boy who is almost to tough to tell if he is sick or I don't know, but he is always a happy boy and when he ran a fever last Thursday I thought yep it is the crap, he was over it by Saturday and Sunday night he had another fever, Sunday pm and some of Monday, so he got to spend Friday, Monday and half of Today with Grandma Chuckie (thank goodness for her). Therefore I decided to make a doctors appointment and see if there was a problem. Well yes he has bilateral acute otitis media yes that is a fancy word for two ear infections. One is red and the other ear has fluid behind it. So I wonder if I need to contact the allergy doctor and get his opinion on the situation or go on and try not to worry. He seems okay, but a little sleepy well now I know why.

We are also gearing up for a big bash on Friday night. Somebody has a birthday Saturday.

Do you know?

I couldn't resist this picture of the happy pumpkin carver.

Do you know how great it feels to have a co-worker that is on the same page most all the time. No matter whether it is a child with some serious needs or a child who is having a "boy" moment or a child who is well great most all the time. I work with great people who just -handle- things when there is not much for lesson plans, or I need help deciding what should be done or who should do what. The co-workers at my end of the building are very helpful and nice. We have a great place to work.
A special thanks to my co-worker, party helper, friend, person to vent to when things just don't go the way I think they need to, or vice versa. It does make my job easier- well I think it does!

Have a great beautiful weekend.

Sleepy.

Sleepy. Tucker Ross is very sleepy today. He woke up with a fever of 102 and it has come down some however I am a little nervous he has only been awake a total of about 2 1/2 hours all morning. That is not normal at all and he just lays on the couch and sleeps. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. I am having a restful day of sewing and laundry, and possibly a nap.

As for Tayden he was pumped today, because he got to take his lunch to school for the first time. I am also a little nervous, he is riding a different bus, because he is getting off at home, not Denny's .

Hope you are having a great Thursday!! Tomorrow if Friday!!

Somedays

Somedays the students are great-but not today.
Somedays all of my students are clean and ready for the week.
Somedays my school days are very fun and wild- like Friday.
Somedays I worry what happens when some of them go home.
Somedays I wonder if they will eat supper or breakfast.
Somedays I think that it is a great job.
Somedays I know,that even the smallest things mean the most to them.
Somedays I think why even get attached.
Somedays I wonder why this year is so much more emotional bothering to me than last year.
Somedays I WILL JUST DO THE BEST I CAN and know it must work.
SOMEDAYS IT IS ALL OUT OF MY CONTROL.
-thank you god for giving me love and patience for all children in this world, not matter, race, gender, size, knowledge, or behavior.
