Spring Break blog

Here is my Spring Break blog, I hope you can see this pretty green color! Day three of our vacation and things are going good. We took a trip to the nail salon yesterday so I could get my nails done, but since we were getting a ride with dad, we had to leave fairly early because he had a call that was going to take awhile and would not be able to come get us before my 10 a.m. appointment. So, we had breakfast at Jack In The Box and spent a little time visiting with each other. We get so little Carli - Mommy time it was nice to be by ourselves. We finished up breakfast and went next door about 20 minutes early, waited about 2 minutes and I was promptly taken to a chair for my refill. 30 minutes later we were out the door and on our way to the library to play for a bit. We walked to the library from the nail place, it didn't take long and it was so beautiful out I could hardly pass up the opportunity to be out in the fresh air and sunshine. Besides, walking is great exercise and it was needed after the breakfast I'd had! We stayed at the library for about half an hour and then caught the Orbit home. All in all it was wonderful spending alone time with Carli.

Birthday blogging musings

To my faithful friend April I must apologize for not getting back to her/you sooner. Thanks for the comments on my blogs I appreciate you for that. As for missing my birthday, it ain't no big deal, really, I promise. I was mostly putting it on there just because I can and sometimes its fun to promote yourself, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I enjoy looking at pictures of you and your little family and can so relate to a lot of what you're saying. As for the tofu, I probably have never had it prepared correctly, so I don't think I like it. I might if you shared some with me some day.

I have been so busy working and college that I haven't had time for much anything else (housework included, although I do try).

We acquired a donor VW bus yesterday afternoon and James is busily cleaning and working on both. And trying to decide whether or not to use the donor bus for body parts on Miss Sunny or make it into a ratride/worktruck for himself. Obviously he is torn because the donor bus is in such perfect condition bodywise. The inside is completely gutted and there are no door handles to speak of.

A sad note to mention, our betta fish died sometime during the night/early morning hours yesterday and I had to flush him - it was sad, Carli cried and promptly announced she would like to have another fish, but a different one and she will not name it 'Super Hero' for fear it will end up the same as the first.

School is going well for Carli. Her most recent report card/conference indicates she is continuing to learn and do well in her studies. She is still progressing and I am hoping by the end of the school year she will get x's (which indicates mastery) instead of +'s (which indicates progression). She is at grade level and is in the highest reading group for First Grade. In DIBELS in oral reading fluency she is at 96 words per minute.

School is going well for me as I am nearing my 6th week of classes and can't wait to complete HUM205 and AED200. I only have one class beginning in April - AED201. Should be interesting!
