I always promise to do better but the truth of the matter is I am technically challenged and the camera is not easy to figure out. I have been far less than diligent about trying to figure it out. So, as we head into another school year there is again a promise to do better with the knowledge that actually, I'm simply waiting until Electron has time to figure it out. Clear as mud?
He did get a few pictures uploaded so that I can use them. Enjoy:

If you are my Facebook friend you know that I am furiously avoiding my lesson plans and Mom -aka the Category 5 Energizer Bunny, was here last week and so much progress was made towards my never ending to-do list that I can now see the bottom of said list..... not much has been done to it since she left mind you. The children that populate the house went into major withdrawal because I did not read to them the entire week Mom was here and so I have been required to make up for lost time- Anne of Green Gables is hard to put down.
I would like to state for THE RECORD that I have completed at least 5 of my Pinterest projects. This completely disproves the theory that I am all ideas and no follow through. Do I make myself clear? :) The fact that there are 500 projects waiting in the wings is of no consequence. Again, clear?(glaring eyeballs bulging so you'd better agree....)
I would also like to point out that I have filled up one side of my carport, not once but twice (I am taking a bow here), with items that we no longer fit/need/use that are looking for a better home. I may end up at Goodwill with them but I hope to get them to consignment of some sort so that I can have a few bucks towards the list of clothing/book needs that fusses for attention.
Also finally, after nearly 16 years (yikes!) gotten around to painting and decorating our master bedroom. I wish I could post pictures but that darn camera thing.... sigh. It is really nice to have a coordinated place to crash at the end of the day instead of a dump spot for whatever wasn't used in decorating the rest of the house. I am, dare I admit it? actually almost happy with how it turned out. It's not exactly Rex's style nor is it mine but it is a happy medium that lends a (deceptively) peaceful atmosphere to a rather chaotic household.
Making drill sheets for math also got checked off the list.
Anyway, I am avoiding said lesson plans right this very minute. :D BUT, I simply have to share with you a few blogs that are near and dear to my heart.
#1: A very amazing woman recently became a Mom to an absolutely heart grabbingly beautiful little girl! Click on over to see her sweet family.
#2: A friend is celebrating her bloggy half birthday with TONS 'O PRIZES AND GIVEAWAYS and she is gearing up to write a book that I can't wait to read.
#3 I found who I want to be when I grow up! This woman is amazing. She has 2 blogs that I adore-A-DORE, no really, like totally, completely ADORRRRRRRRRE... one and two .... Seriously, this woman is my hero and I'm darn near close to sacrilege in my idol-worship of her. I'm totally doing her one year challenge if I can get my family on board. Not the kind of challenge that I can do alone - requires cooperation. darn.
Anyhow, check 'em out and hopefully soon I will finally get some pictures of my new master suite ;P, Pinterest projects, and my glorious new schoolroom that I am totally falling in love with! Oh yeah, some pictures of the kiddos would be nice too, right grandfolks? xoxoxox
