2nd Quarter Progress

So today marks the halfway point for the second quarter.  It is also the halfway point for November.  Wow! Yep that about sums it up for me. 
John Michael did great on his progress report.  He is really enjoying school and he is definitely learning a lot.  I am so proud of the progress that he has made and I know that he will keep it up.  Now, if only I could get him to learn how to tie his shoes.
Danny did amazing too!  He is such a smart cookie, with an amazing desire to learn.  Everyday he is really soaking it in and making more strides towards greatness.

Both of the boys are like sponges.  Today I am thankful for all that they have been able to teach me and that I know I will continue to learn from them.

Thursday

So today was a crazy day. The news that the Network was suing the Obama Administration was shocking, but definitely something that needed to be done. I am just worried about having health insurance now. The government has zero right to tell anyone what they have to do when it comes to certain aspects of life, yet here they are making demands. It is scary when the Constitution is completely overlooked and disrespected. The current administration has destroyed a lot of what this country was founded for and that is some serious scary stuff people.
This is always Brandon's busy day today it was crazy insane, but I think overall a good day. It was a long one though.
I worked on our taxes while the boys were at school and finished them up and got them filed after everyone went to bed. I hope that the money comes in quick. This year, I am so paying off some debt. Maybe just maybe we can get ahead without these little guys weighing us down. I just hope that I can make it go further than it seems like I can. We shall see overall what happens. But I am definitely praying that things go smoothly and work out well, it seems like more times than not there is never enough.
The boys had a great day at school and homework was done pretty quick. Today was progress report day and they did great. I have to brag for a minute on Danny who made a 99 in Math! Yes, I am so so proud of him. He loves math and he is working really hard this year.

Basketball Starts Again

This morning we were late again. I swear I have to get in bed earlier or something. I think I am just on overload and it is effecting my routine, which is NEVER good. I am going to work on that hard.
The boys had great days at school. They are sure pumped about the Fun Run tomorrow. They also got to dress out of uniform today, which is always super important to them. It is the small things. They both looked to handsome in their jeans.
While they were at school I scrubbed their bathroom and just worked around the house. I got the shopping list for Thanksgiving ready. I am not sure when in the heck I will be able to go to the store though. It took me all week to find the time to get a gallon of milk so we will see what happens.
There was evidently a shooting at the Birmingham airport tonight. Not sure what all of that is about but it confirms even more that I will not be flying anytime soon.
I had a photo shoot today right after school, which went pretty good. More on that at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ I am loving being so busy but I am also a little stress just because I feel like I have no time. It will all work out though and it is definitely a blessing that I am thankful for.
Basketball officially started today for Danny. He had his first practice at 5:30. It was a lot of conditioning and skills, but it went great. It is a huge team...15 boys I think so I am thinking playing time will be limited, but oh well, it will be fun.
Progress reports came home today and I am super proud of both boys. They are loving school and their reports show that! YAY! This was definitely a blessing.
While we were eating dinner Danny's tooth fell out. He has been messing with it for about a week, but refused to let me pull it. I am so thankful he did not swallow it. He is lucky! He is looking forward to the visit from the tooth fairy! Fun stuff I just hope I have some cash, any cash. LOL!
Well, it is ten after 11 and I am off to bed! Peace out everyone. Know that you are all in my thoughts in prayers.
PS...trying to figure out when I can go see my vampires on the big screen. Praying it will be sooner than later.

Rained Out

So today we were supposed to have soccer practice, but the rain won out for the day.
It was most definitely a nasty day. I seriously could have stayed in the bed most of the day. It was just one of those sleepy rainy days. Plus I did not get anything accomplished anyway. I probably could have at least gotten rid of the bags under my eyes had I taken a good nap. :)
The boys had a great day in school even though they were stuck inside most of the day. Recess and PE are almost always outside, but there has to be exceptions for rainy days. It was much needed though and they know tomorrow will be better.
Today was also progress report day. I was very happy with both of the boys' work. I know that they have been working hard, and I am super proud of them. I know that they will keep it up as they really do love to learn. They really make me happy.
Since it was rainy once homework was done we had a lazy day. I worked on laundry and that was about it. Next week I will be more productive. I would say the rest of this week, but I am actually pretty busy with photography sessions for the rest of the week. YAY!!!
Well, I still prayers. Thanks everyone. Know that you are all in my prayers!
