Lizzie's Last Rise and Shine as a Hornet

Today the honor choir at Holcomb did the rise and shine program. It was a great performance, but also bitter sweet. As I sat there and watched, the only thought that keep coming to me was that this is Lizzie last rise and shine as a hornet. Boy oh boy where have the 6 years gone? I actually got teary eyed as I sat there and thought back to the very first day Lizzie walked in to Holcomb to start kindergarten. Through the years Lizzie has had some ups and downs, but the teachers that have touched her heart will never be far from her thoughts as she starts a new journey in middle school. Lizzie I am proud of the person you are and never change the way you care about people and always be true to yourself as you start your next journey this coming school year in middle school- you are so loved!!!

Parent should be Parents

I think parents need to start parenting their kids instead of not really caring what their kids are doing. I mean now away days kids say and do what they want. God forbid they are actually taught right from wrong. I mean when a 5th grader does rabbit ears behind someones head and another student tells her that it means that she want to go to bed with that person- what the hell. If i would have said something like that mom and dad would have been all over me and the school would have sent me home. But now a days parents don't care and the school does not care,sending a note home to a parent about what is said is not good enough in my opinion. It does no good in most cases. Todd and I try every hard to teach both girls right from wrong, they know what is excepted of them and when they do something that is not right they get in trouble. Both our girls are very honest and always tells us the truth whether it is good or bad. I am so thankful for that. Parents, parent and actually take notice on what your kids are doing and who they are hanging out with.

Another rainy weekend

Okay I really think someone does not want us to hiking or camping. Every weekend so far since it has warmed it has rained. I really want to go hiking and camping with hubby and the girls. The girls are like mom make it be sunny outside and no rain so we can go hiking. Hoping this coming weekend it will be nice so we can at least do a little hiking.

It is so hard to believe that in 26 days Todd and I will be married 11 years gosh where has the time gone. I love Todd more and more everyday, I know we have our up and downs but the ups always out way the downs and i am so thankful everyday that I have Todd and the girls.

Morning Run &Knitting

This week is the 1st graders week to go to the gym in the morning before class starts and jog or walk laps. Well today I jogged with Shelbie and I really enjoyed jogging with her. I do believe she is going to be a runner, she loves to jog with me and was so excited that i joined her this morning. I am glad the kids get a chance to do this.

Well today i actually did some knitting on Shelbie's afghan. It is coming a long a little slower then I would like, but that is okay. I have a little bit more black to knit then I will finish up with orange like I started with. Shelbie wanted a blanket that was made of her school colors. After I finish Shelbie's afghan I am going to make me an afghan then work on another one for Lizzie using her school colors for the middle school she will be going to next year. I am going to make the girls lots of afghans so one day when they are all grown and on their own they can pull out a blanket and think back to the school that the colors stand for and know that I knitted each afghan with love!!!

Recess fun!!!

This past week was benchmark testing week for grades 3rd-5th graders. I know it is a long hard week for both the teachers and the students, but I do believe it went well. The only sign that it was testing week for Lizzie on her arms. Lizzie picks on herself subconsciously until she bleeds when she lets her Ocd get the best of her. This past week I helped out during recess when the first graders went outside. I had a blast playing with all the kids, plus I helped our wonderful art teacher finish up the Art to Remember fundraiser.

Why Do People Treat Others Wrongly

Okay I am just going to say it.... Some people are just rude. I just not understand it,that when I do something out of the kindness of my heart to help some one they get mad and act like a child. I mean what happened was not my fault, come on when you ring someones doorbell 6 times and knock really hard on their door about 6 times and wait for 10 minutes. What am I suppose to do stand outside their door all day. I am sorry but I had things to do. Now this person is mad at me because she had to find another way to pick up her kids. See we use this persons mom's van when when have to pick up this persons 2 kids plus our 2 girls. I am sorry but we can not fit all 4 kids in our car. We have been doing this for over a month to help this person out, because we know how hard things can be. well I am sorry no more I am tired up helping people and then they get mad at me and not respond to any of my emails or any thing. I am a good person and I go out of my way to help people, but i am so so tired of getting treated like I am worthless and because I am not.

A great day yesterday

Well the Outstanding Volunteer banquet was last night and it was really great!!! Lizzie was excited because she got to see Mr.Colbert and talk to him for a few minutes. I had to laugh when Mr. Colbert told Lizzie that she was almost as tall as him and she just says I know, I just keep growing-lol. The Fayetteville High School Encore Choir preformed while we were eating wonderful food from Penguin Ed's. Lizzie and Shelbie both have their sights on being in the Fayetteville High School encore Choir.

I feel so blessed to have gotten this award and i will truly treasure it forever. Both girls have already told me that they hope I will get it again next year-lol. Shelbie was so proud of that this morning the first thing she did was tell her teacher Mr. Edwards that her mommy got an award for being such a great and cool volunteer, I had to laugh. I love helping and I plan on volunteering as much as I can. I just have to figure out how I am going to volunteer at 2 schools next year.Holcomb has the teachers and staff it is always a pleasure to help.
