Summer is gone...Enjoying the last few days...

I can't believe this is my last day off for the year. I need another month and about 5000 more dollars, so I can go on vacation.

Landon is sick today. I was able to hold him last night and get him to go back to sleep. When he is sick, he is so nice. I hope he does not have anything serious. He is so sweet when he is sick. All of his manners come out.

I am now at the Junior High which is more in line with my degree. I will also get a free period. The high school could not give that to me. I had morning detention which was like another class. It will give me the oppurtunity to work on the soccer team more. They need me to be fresh.

This semester should be so much better. Less home football games, so I will probably go to more away games. This will give me a chance to actually watch the game. We also have Volleyball games which I have volunteered to be the game admin. for this season. I won't be disappointed if they don't call me. I did get my star soccer player back for this season. We should be pretty good. I wish I had some of those teams on our schedule that beat us from last year. Some did not want to play us again. I guess they knew a storm was brewing.

How can you divorce?

I am eagerly waiting for the big announcement tonight on Jon and Kate Plus 8. I just can't believe that you can even think about divorce with such a large family. What is wrong with our world? A lot of people think it is ok to get a divorce. I don't. You have to work through the good times and the bad. God did not say that everything would be great all the time in your marriage. People forget their wedding vows too easily. Good times and bad, sickness and in health. Divorce is not an option especially when you have a wonderful family with 8 kids. Wow!!!

I am enjoying my time with Landon. We have fun every day. I tend to do the same things together. Right now we spend a lot of time watching movies, playing trains, and taking naps. We also go to Pickwick, because I want him to be swimming before the end of the summer. I only have one thing to do before school starts in 6 weeks. I got to move classrooms, so I need to work at school tomorrow. I want to get this done, so I will take Landon to school tomorrow. If it does not workout, then I will take him to daycare. We will see.

Practice...

Tonight we had XC practice. It was fun. I was able to run with the first timers. I don't think many of them will stick it out. The best one was a future 8th grader that is one of my soccer players. She did great. We are both excited about her for next year.

I am looking forward to soccer tomorrow night. I worked on the gear tonight to get it ready. I also have to get the goals moved over and that might take a while. I have about 45 potential girls with 8 to 9 7th graders.

Landon is enjoying his time with Daddy. We had a good day. I got up and ran before Kristy left for work. I got him up and he wanted to play with Trains. We ran around the house with his riding train. We also played with his train table. It was fun. He watched movies after that. We did not do much work today, but take out the trash. We also rolled the trash to and from the street. We cut roses. I limited his time outside today, because we have been outside the whole time he has been out of school.

Tomorrow we have to go on a fact finding mission. I also have a soccer meeting around his naptime here at the house.

We purchased the freezer and washer and dryer all new. It was delivered Saturday. The washer and dryer are so quite. The freezer is great. We just want to be careful to not fill it up. Kristy is taking inventory on everything that goes in it. That way we don't have to hunt for things. Thursday we are planning on going to Memphis to visit family and Costco. No one knows this, but me. I have not called to see if anyone is available. I have to be back by 8 for practice. So I can't stay long.

School is out for the summer

I am so refreshed already. We spent a few days at the beach. No, it was not long enough. It never is long enough. We are thinking about going back. I hope we can work it in before school starts. I might go when school starts back. Who knows?

We all had a great time at the beach. Landon really loved it. Highlights included beautiful weather, Kristy running 3.4 miles with me, I ran another 4.5 after I dropped her off. Other hightlights: Landon loves go carts and Putt Putt. He did not drive, but rode with us. He loved it. I bought shrimp and did a shrimp boil. It was amazing. We rode the Ferry from Fort Morgan to Daulphin Island. Tons of Beach Houses in Fort Morgan. We might go back there. I felt like no one was there this past weekend. It was very easy to get around. I am so ready to go back.

I have spent the day working inside the house. I need to do some yard work outside, but I am trying to get a lot done inside first. I want Kristy to come home and relax from work. Laundry (I know I don't do Laundry), pick up, unpack, clean fridge out have already been done. I am still working on Laundry. We got a robot vacuum cleaner before we left. It is great. Right now it is working three rooms. I will put it on the rest of the house later. It is amazing. Our other one broke, so we decided to try this.

We are about to buy a new washer, dryer, freezer, and patio furniture. We are going to go to this place in Booneville for the patio furniture. They have a lot of great deals. We have a certian amount of money to spend on this. If we have any left over, I don't know what we will do with it. I would love to have a patio tv, but I am probably dreaming.

Crazy day...

I had a very up and down day. I am ready for school to be out. I am also ready to get to practicing. Big news tonight about a girl that will be playing soccer for me. I can't wait to see her play for me.

Students have checked out for the year. All the testing is done and now we only have a final. I need to work hard to their attention about their final. It is going to be a challenge. I think I can do it. I guess all schools have problems, but it seems we have a lot.

8 more days and Landon and I are out for the summer. Yeah!!!

Is it wrong when...

your child goes in his room and shuts his door and then proceeds to take a nap. Landon has done this a couple of times, but today it was funny. I heard him tell the blankey no! and then I went to check on him, he was out. It was great, especially since I am trying to catch up on sleep.

I went to Jackson, MS Thursday night for the State Track meet. We left Corinth at 9 something and got there around 2 a. m. Friday I got an ran for 36 minutes at 8 a. m. It was my fastest 5K, and mile. I was flying. It was good to get out on the road again with just me and the ipod. Last night we got home at 2:30. It was a very long day.

Today, I am babysitting Landon while Kristy works on the bathroom. I will be glad to see it finished. Have a great Weekend.

Ok. It has been a while...

but I promise to do better. School is ending, and the summer is about to start. I have really enjoyed some parts of this year. I am starting to think this town is growing on me. Yesterday I ran the Coke 10K race and it was awesome. I was able to find someone to run with the whole time. Craig is an awesome parent of one of my players. I really enjoyed talking with him as we ran. We might have to start training together. 740 people ran in the race, and I finished in the middle. I was some what proud of myself. The rain stopped yesterd for 3 hours. The Race started on time which was a miracle. I plan on running more now. I want to get to where I am running every other day or every day. I might enter a 5K up a pickwick in a few weeks, but it will just depend. I might try the run to Wrigley next year or something.

I am rabbling, so I will go. Everyone is doing great here. Landon is a complete joy. I don't know if we should have another child or not. Kristy is shopping at Lowe's today. Big purchase day for the Bathroom Renovation. We are about to buy a Washer, Dryer, Freezer, and maybe a TV, but all of this is separate from the bathroom renovation.
