Date Night 1.0

I think hurricane Katrina hit my work week..Monday's are always hard after holidays for any teacher but 4 yr olds take that way differently! In the middle of the day I found out I would lose one student and gain 4!! Yes you read that right 4 more! So you could only imagine how exhausting it is to start over! I've been tired and cranky this week and hate that constant feeling so I was very pleased web David asked lets do a date night!! So he made the plans and I was just along for the ride :) We went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn--I can say I was disappointed! I've read all of Stefenie Meyers books and loved the movie in my head! After the movie we enjoyed a nice Alfredo's dinner and hung out with David's parents before heading home!

I think date night is a must from now on! Thanks Babe!

Looking forward to the family weekend we have planned!

A Sacred Heart

Wow! An intense title for an intense change in our lives! We have friends that are doing great on the road to a healthy life and weight. We always usually one at a time say I'm going to do this or that sounds great and we might for a couple days but this time it's a mutual decision that we are committing to a week long diet plan! A friend of David's actually gave him the plan and we went tonight and bought all we needed for the week. I am proud to say our fridge is full w veggies, fruit, milk and juice! Heres our ingredients and all that goodness in the pot!
This weekend we tried to relax some as much as we know how...David worked in the shop while I went shopping with Dj's Tia Rachel. Today David went to look at a truck while Dj and I ate breakfast and then went to Christmas in November with Memaw.
Next week is my last full week before Thanksgiving which is really nice to think of but also means we've got to get on the ball with our learning expectations!
I'll keep an update on our soup and diet change!

Make this Croup crap go away!

Well Tuesday I got a call while at work from my mom that Dj was running a fever and cranky. We just assumed it was the beginning of a cold or teething so the plan was to take Wednesday off and get a drs appt. By the time we got home he and I rested and all of a sudden a heard this funky cough?! So we gave him Tylenol and began dinner. I called the on call dr and when he called back said it sounds like he has croup. If it gets worse go to the ER! What the ER?! So we packed some bags hung out in a steamed bathroom and headed to the ER! At the ER we heard 6 hr wait! R U Kidding!! So he got a breathing treatment and started coughing pretty bad after that...which followed by Dj turning BLUE! We were rushed back put on cool mist tube, chest X-ray, IV, and all kinds of bloodwork. Our poor lil man had it rough! Finally after panicking crying and all the emotions in between we say Dr. Smith the on call pedi dr. He sent us up to the Meeks Children's floor so that we could be monitored overnight. After a day of playing coughing crying and finally being able to breathe we went home at 10 pm!!

Fall is in the Air!

Well finally there has been a small break in the heat and our mornings are cooler! It definitely feels like FALL! I switched out our table cloth and bought some CUTE new decorations! I love it even more because I bought everything on sale and with a coupon!! Today David and his friend Josh were busy building the base of our new storage building! We finished the night having dinner and catching up with some old friends that are in town for the weekend....now THOR!

Alot of Hot Air!

Friday David had a Blue Bear appearance at the 2011 Big Country Balloon Fest! It was at 4 so Dj & I didn't make it. If you talk to David you should ask him what a class of preschoolers can do to an overgrown BEAR!! We got to go later that night and it was a first time experience for all of us!! I was so excited Thursday when David said we were going I could hardly wait! Dj loved every minute of it!! We had a kinda picnic at the park just in time for the Hot Air Glow!

A SCENTSational Time!

Wow where do I begin! Work has been busy...so has life...but then again when is it not...this time for both David and I. I am so proud of my hubby who has decided to go back to school and finish his Bachelors Degree! While I have taken on a new business venture.....I took a plunge...well I should say WE took a plunge because I couldn't do this without the help of my family....and am an offical SCENTSY Independent Consultant!

This is the October Warmer which is on sale next month! Tonight we had a training party where I got to meet the other members of my team...enjoyed some dinner and SCENTS talk! I am so excited to be working with a wonderful group of women...and loving that it is making me step out of my box! I decided to start selling because I'd love to add to the financial security of our family!

I am looking forward to our October parties!! Yes I did it booked 2 parties this coming month...just in time for the holidays!

The BEST NEWS....drum roll please......................Dj is WALKING!!!

Well time to finish up my first Scentsy order and pack for deliveries tomorrow!!

A New Beginning!

School started Monday...well teacher work days did. I have decided that this year will be a NEW year and a BETTER year than the last!
I must say that Dj transitioned back to grandma and grandpa's house with no problem. So well that they were waiting at the driveway for us when we showed up on Monday. I was alittle scared that it wasn't going to be a good day as the weekend before he would cry anytime that I left the room much less walked away from him in general.
It is adorable that he gets to take his lunch with him everyday.

On another note...tomorrow is my first day back in my room and only 3 more work days until school STARTS!!

Ohh and we are in a GLEEK marathon!
