Miss Maggo the Pilot

This was taken a couple of months ago at daddy's work. But it's all she talked about for quite some time. And since I put up a picture of PJ, she said it was only fair that I post one of her too.

My Soccer Hero

PJ started back to soccer a couple of weeks ago. This is his second season playing and he is really enjoying it.
He shows up at every practice excited and ready to go. At every game he gives his 110%. He even scored a goal 2 weeks ago. He's really good about cheering for his team when he's not on the field. His team has yet to win a game, but they don't give up. I'm so proud of my little man.

Just One of Those Days

This is what my day is beginning to feel like, how is your day going?

Can't wait for the weekend.

Loved this one

There is an excellent article over at Segullah about accepting a compliment gracefully. It's a must read.

Dear Parent...

Dear Parent who thought it was a good idea to let your 2nd grade son get his ear pierced.

What were you thinking, and why did you then letting him put in a little hoop and wear it to school, I'm guessing it's because you thought it looked so cool. You were wrong, and now your poor kid has a huge hole in his ear were the above mentioned hoop was ripped out. Lovely!

Part of the reason I finally decided to do my one thang was getting tagged by Erika. So here goes:

What was I doing 5 years ago?

We were living in Vancouver WA. Um I was pregnant with Miss Magoo, me and the toliet had become very close by now. When I wasn't "visitng" the toliet I was sleeping on our comfy big brown couch. PJ started out telling "mommy" to wake up so he could show me something, then we progressed to him telling me to close my eyes. He figured he could get into more stuff while I was sleeping. Hubby was busy working and finishing his BS.

Pet Peeves
to many things to list but here's a few of them

crusty people
primary teachers who won't get a sub, thinking that the other teachers can just divy up their class
tail gaters (stupid drivers in general)
cleaning the bathroom
when the library doesn't have the book I'm dying to read
(okay that's all I'm going with, the others sounded way to petty)

Things I would do if I were a Billionaire

pay off my house, cc debit, hubby's school loans
take a one of a kind vacation with my whole family, and then with hubby's whole family
get a gardener to make my yard the coolest on the block
hire a personal trainer
never wear the same pair of socks more than once
have a fabulous shoe collection

Here I am

So I've joined the blogging world again. Basically this is going to be about my life and the funny/irritating/cute things my kids (family) does. Mostly it's all about me though, just like it should be.
