I am officially certified to save a life! Passed my certification. However...there was a woman there that was getting certified for I believe daycare....and man am I glad that my kids NEVER went to a daycare center!!!
I know...harsh. But, seriously? My ADD daughter or son could have listened, learned and passed with less assistance! And people will be leaving her children with her. Better hope that their child never chokes.

BLS!!

Basic Life Saving...what else were you thinking? I have some studying to do, real quick like! Wednesday, I have to go to the hospital, complete a course and take a test. Been a very long time since I was last certified, and I'm nervous. Isn't it crazy how as we age we tend to feel more stupid? Maybe I am alone in this thought, I don't really know. But, lately this is how I have felt. I feel ill prepared and confident with taking my Pharmacy Tech. Certification as well.
I guess, I should be studying right now as I type....instead of typing on this blog. Hoping that putting my fears, thoughts, and anxieties on the blog may relieve them and allow me to focus more clearly on the task at hand. Here's to wishing myself "LUCK".....

Where did it go?

Wow! All the snow is gone! Where did it all go? Today we are going to attack the yard before the next wave of snow that is expected to pass through tomorrow. Lots of doggie poo to pick up and chunks of yard that needs to be put back in it's place. We have one mound of snow that needs to be spread out over the yard so that it will melt the rest of the way. Tomorrow we are suppose to get another hit by a snow storm! Not liking it one bit!! I am so ready for spring and summer.
Later we are going to go to one of my favorite stores...Menards! I love that place. Getting alot of inspiration as I am also watching HGTV!!!!

If I were to post pictures of my yard right now....it would so be "Night and Day" difference from my previous post. And only in a matter of two weeks!

Bye for now.....I may post what inspirations Menards and HGTV instills in me today!

Pictures?!?

Newman loves to play outside in the snow, and "sun bathe" in the the living room window on the back of the couch.





Trying to take a teenager's picture is like....yeah, a good picture is not going to happen!



Miss Anna and the 6th grade MP3 performing ~ "Universe and Other Things"



Now that I think that I have finally figured out how to post pics with my posts....

Until next time!

Kids!

This post is about the kids....as if the title didn't already tip you off.

Dustin just recently turned 15! Now I have to prepare myself for driver's training. I know that I am NOT ready. And in all honestly...Dustin isn't either. (He doesn't realize this of course!) Right now are planning/shooting for the June session. And that is only IF he shows some maturity growth. Puberty has finally begun for him. It turns out he may just be a late bloomer. We are still following up with the endocrinologist to track his progress.

Anna continues to blossom in her self confidence. She just recently had a production/play that the 6th grade MP3 class put on. The first night was rough, due to the fact that there was a lack of practices and no dress rehearsal. But, all in all the play was funny and the second night was much better. There are some very talented 6th graders. It is such a joy to watch how much Anna enjoys herself on stage. NEVER thought we would get to this place with her. Considering just a couple of years ago I was dragging her into class every day, her kicking, screaming, and crying. And then me making the mad dash out.

I hoping that I can successfully tag on some pics of the kids, Newman, and the "Big Storm" that hit us recently.
