The Esteemed One

I don't have a lot of time this morning but I just wanted to let you know that my baby, LiLi, made the esteemed list at school. This means she made all A's the first grading quarter. I am so proud of her! She has actually made all A's on all of her report cards since she started school. I love that she is like a sponge and soaks up anything and everything she can while learning about a subject. I love that her teachers love having her in their classes. It makes for great Teacher/Parent conferences. But most of all I just love her for her! Way to go LiLi!

What???!!!

Yesterday, after picking up my kids from school, I dropped by the library to return a few books. As I was driving down the road a car started to pull out of a bank drive and almost hit the side of my beloved Sherman the Tank. I was startled by the near miss and looked at the driver of the BMW, an older lady, and could not figure out why she was glaring at me. After all she was the one who almost hit me! Some people. Well, the kids and I laughed it off and went on about our way.
This morning as I was driving the kids to school YaYa started talking about the "almost accident". I again reflected on the glare the lady gave me and said something to the kids about how you shouldn't glare at people that you almost hit with your BMW. LiLi quickly piped up that the lady was glaring at her, not me. I then told her that the lady wouldn't be glaring at her, she wasn't driving the car. She then responded that she was the one who raised both arms and with a disgusted look on her face mouthed "What??!!!" to the lady.
Now I understand the glare!

Just Do It!

It has been so long since I last posted anything.....It is hard to start back because I feel like I have to catch up on everything that has happened in the past month or so. Well, this morning I decided I don't. I am going to take a page out of my dear mother's book of "Putting Your Head In the Sand; Life really will go on around you but you don't have to deal with it!" It's a great book! I recommend it to anyone who wants to check out of reality for a while. You know....if you ignore it it will go away!
So, now that that is out of the way. I had a few minutes before I left for church and just thought I would take care of the big elephant in the room, or rather, on the blog. Now when I sign in to blogger I don't have to feel guilty for not updating:

• my latest thoughts
• goings on
• going
• crazy
• fun things the kids have done
• not so fun things the kids have done

Now I can go off to church secure in the knowledge that I did my small part today.

Until the next time!
