So I took some pictures of the boys to try to save some money.
I’m thinking that I’ll not be going professional anytime soon. I like the last one best but it’s pretty shadowy. the first two Bam has a strange look on his face! I definatly need more practice. At least the test subjects are nice to look at!

These past weeks have been so busy. Time is flying by at a snails pace! It’s always easy to tell when spring break is getting close because this phenomenon get more and more unbearable. And my garden space starts whispering my name. As each day clicks by, the voice gets a little louder.
Our Child Slave Labor, helping daddy dig out forthe patio. Garden space in the back. We are going to enlarge our garden this year. YEEEE!!
Our patio mark out…. snowed on.
I love spring.

So I’ve never been a New Years Resolution kind of gal. Mostly because I’m to lazy. I come up with great ideas all year round. I don’t always follow all my great ideas. A lot of the time they turn out to be not so great after all, but don’t go telling people I said that ‘k!
The preschool that my boys went to had goals. They started these goals first of the year so technicallythey were new years resolutions. Both of my boys reached their goal and they were so proud of themselves. They both chose to learn to tie their shoes by their self. It was a good time for me too. I hated tying their shoes. Bad mom I know…. but I told you I’m lazy!
But I’ve been thinking about the whole idea lately. New Year, clean slate, fresh start, do over. Those thoughts plus the pride that the boys had when they reached their goal. So I think I’ll throw my hat in the ring this year, but I’m going to call it a New Year Revolution. I’ll explain. With the help on my good friend Webster…
Resolution: a formal expression of opinion, will, or intent
Revolution: a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something
I love Webster. He’s always there for me. He always knows the right words and when to say them. Even how to pronounce them. He tells me how to spell a word when I haven’t got a clue. What a guy.
Any ways, I’m thinking I need a revolution more that a resolution.
Here they are in no particular order…. or are they?
That’s about it for now, but like I said I have good(ish) ideas all the time, not just the few days between Christmas and New Years, so I might add to the list as the year goes on. And looking at the definitions my boyfriend Webster gave me, it’s going to take more than a change of opinion to get these things done, it’s going to have to take a complete change of thinking….. Unlike the song says, it IS time for a revolution. But not that kind.
So do you have any revolutions? Are you up to it??

I know I don’t typically blog about political things, but I need to get this out, SOOO if you disagree, hit the back button on your computer.
I’ve been getting a few Facebook requests to join ‘End Homophobia Now’ and ‘1,000,000 Against Homophobia’. There are others about how horrible Prop 8 is and the list goes on. But my issue is with the first two I mentioned. I have been called a homophobic many times before and it gets on my nerves more than anything else. First I just want to point out what my good friend Webster has to say:
pho·bia \ˈfō-bē-ə\ noun Etymology: -phobia : an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation
Did you catch that key word in there, FEAR. That is what phobia means people. So to be a homophobic, I would in turn have to be fearful of homosexuals. Evidently in our society there is no distinction between fear and opposition. Can I just say standing up for your morals and not agreeing with the act of homosexuality is not a fear issue. I am so tired of people throwing around words and accusations to try to scare others into agreeing with them. It takes a lot more guts to stand strong in what is right than to bow down before a weak and wicked bandwagon. My rewards aren’t here on Earth with people I need to please or impress for today. It’s much bigger than that.

A few weeks ago was our local annual women’s 3K walk. I love to participate in this event. It is so fun and energizing! But this is the second time this year that my friends and I have gone on a walk and this has happened……
It poured rain!!!! It was so wet. But it was fun. Most of the energy was still there and to see all of those ladies come out, even in the rain to celebrate women’s health was awesome. I’m not a feminist by ANY means, but I love being a woman!!!
I also love my friends.
Some are crazier than others, but that’s cool, I love them too.

I wonder how many other people are done with this years election. I am usually fairly involved with the going on’s in politics and whatnot, but I feel like I’ve totally checked out of this race. It feels like it’s been going on for years. And well frankly, I don’t think I have anything (one) worth voting for. It’s quite depressing until I remember that I plan on voting for a no fail write-in.

JESUS! Who will vote for Jesus with me? He can fix EVERYTHING that is wrong.

no longer belongs to me. School and soccer have begun, so it now belongs to those two things. And now I get to add a job in the mix. I may never see me again!

I took a little personality quiz and it rocked.
For some reason it won’t post like it does on that other blog(ger) site, so you’ll have to click the link… sorry.

.. that I’m going to suffer serious heart problems over the Olympics this year. I don’t know which sport is going to be the final straw though. Beach volleyball? GOOD! Indoor volleyball? GOOD! Gymnastics? GOOD! Track? GOOD! Swimming? GREAT! Ohhhh it is all so good. I LOVE the summer Olympics.
My only complaint, besides the heart attack, I’m horribly sleep derived. *sigh* It is so worth it!

After a nice week of rest, that was greatly needed, I jumped feet first into this week. School is getting closer and I have a lot of things that need to be done. Mostly things that I have put off. The most important thing: Get a job. This was causing some stress in my life that I really could do without. I was excited with the possibility to clean the nursery again, but I would have had to do a little subbing on the side to make ends meet. And I didn’t want to get bored. With both boys in school all day I need to stay busy… keep my brain busy. So Sunday after whining talking to a good friend of mine about not having a job and needing one, my friend, who just happens to be a principal at a local christian school, told me they are looking for subs and kitchen aides. So Monday was spent agonizing over the application. Ohh how I despise essay questions!!! But I did it and turned it in. And then the waiting began. I heard nothing all Tuesday morning so after lunch I called, you know to annoy the heck out of people. Obviously they were one step ahead of me so I left a message and started to think of ways to keep my mind occupied. So I started my spring cleaning. I tend to do this a lot. It keeps my mind from wandering too far off. Wednesday was a full day of PTO meetings. Planning the school year activities and what-not. I got the call during lunch. I’m sure I didn’t hear the next 20 minutes for discussion! I was so excited about my interview! Then 21 minutes later the reality set in, and so did my nerves! Luckily our school PTO is filled with wonderful Christian ladies, and I know that if I asked they would pray for me, so I asked. I am so glad I had the whole day planned with meetings and such. It was great to have that distraction. Thursday morning came and so did 9:00, the time of my interview. I went in and sat down. I waited for it to begin, but instead that lady started showing me around, giving me a tour. We talked, and it was a comfortable conversation. She told me my schedule and pay, then she paused and say ‘that is if you want the job’. I was on cloud nine! I was wondering when the actual interview was going to begin. It never did. So I guess I’m officially a lunch lady! Yippeee! The schedule is perfect. I’ll have work everyday, but still enough time to get some things done while the boys are at school. I’ll even have time to go help at school. I could not have imagined it being better. We all need aPTO staff praying for us!!
