Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone!! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Ours is kinda quiet today. The Easter Bunny dropped of the baskets and the kids loved them. They've been watching the DVDs that Mr. Bunny put in their baskets. We colored eggs, but they didn't want to go on an egg hunt. Which is really fine with me. It is cold outside today. They won't eat the eggs either so I guess I'm stuck with egg salad all week. LOL No problem though. I like egg salad. ;-) Michael had to go to work so it is just a quiet lazy day around the house.

Yesterday was Joshua's first t-ball game. He had a blast. Granddad, Aunt Marette, and Bubba came to watch. Joshua hit the ball really well and "scored" twice. LOL They don't really keep score for t-ball, but he was able to round the bases twice. It was cold though and by the end he was ready to go home. Poor little guy was freezing. Momma was too!!

Tomorrow it is back to work for me. *sigh* I've been on spring break for 2 weeks and now I'm spoiled. I don't want to go back to work. LOL Only 9 more weeks until summer break though so I'm sure I can make it. Not to mention I've got a Bon Jovi concert (didn't think you could get away with not having to read about that did ya?) on April 24 to look forward to. I can't wait!! My friend Lisa (you'll remember I went to the Mohegan show with her) is flying in for that one. We are going to have too much fun!!!

I am back!!

Did ya miss me? Or did you even realize I was gone? The laptop was delivered today complete with a new keyboard. It's nice to have it back and be online again. I sure missed blogging and my message boards. I'm sure my loyal readers (all 3 of them) will be glad to get some new stuff up here.

All that said.........not much going on around here. Both kids have been sick. Ari had what I think (I say "think" because we got her into the doctor 4 days after she started getting sick since we were in Florida when it started and she tested negative for the flu) was the flu last week. We had 8 days of fevers of 103+. We were fever free in the house for less than 24 hours and Joshua woke up with on Saturday with a fever of 103.4. Yeah I was not happy. I got him into the doctor that morning and he tested positive for the flu. The doctor prescribed Tamiflu and boy does it work. He hasn't run much of a fever since he started taking it. Heck on Sunday he didn't have one at all. He had a low grade one today, but right now he doesn't have one and he is running around like his normal crazy self. They want him out of school for the entire week though. Umm, do you know how hard that is? Both of us work so we are taking turns either going in late or leaving early.

I'm in the process of filling out teaching applications for Florida and emailing principals. I hope to get positive responses from the emails in the next couple days. I wanted to go down during spring break, but mom is going to be on a cruise for most of my break and so I wouldn't have anywhere to stay. I'll see what happens. If I get positive responses from the principals I've contacted then I'll end up going down for a few days anyway.

I am just under 2 weeks from flying up to Boston to go to a Bon Jovi concert. I'm very excited!! I'll be sure to post pictures when I get home.

We just made a short trip to Florida on President's Day weekend. My aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and we had a surprise party for them. It was a blast. I love getting together with my family. It is never boring. I'll post some pictures of that a little later. I have to upload them from the camera. I was a little upset. I bought a new camera for me and I forgot to take extra batteries. Mine died in the middle of the party so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be able to get other family members to email me some.

This school year is flying by. I can't believe we are 2 weeks away from spring break. Then only 9 more weeks until summer vacation. I'm loving kindergarten. It took awhile for me to realize it though. It's hard. Very hard. I've taught 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades. Kindergarten is by far the most difficult. I love those little guys though.

So, how have y'all been?

Really?

Do people really not have checking accounts these day? I've known people in the past who didn't have checking accounts, but they have since succumbed and opened one. I was talking with a friend today and she says they do not have one and haven't had one in a very long time. They have no plans to open one either. They pay for everything with cash. I just don't think I could do it. I couldn't pay bills online. I would have to go get money orders for all our bills. It is hard enough for me to find time to sit down and make out the bills I don't pay online and then go to the post office to mail them. I couldn't imagine having to find time to go get money orders on top of that. I think I'll stick with my checking account.
