Just tooling...


I could have said "just tooting" or just "trouping" along....any of those would have probably worked. BUT.......I am just tooling along. The kids are just tooling along. The family is just tooling along, and I love it that we are tooling along! If you think my posts are far and few between, check out my sister! Talk about slow...and she isn't 50 yet. Let me just tell you a few of the reasons that I am NOT up to writing some wonderfully, inspiring, thoughts for you lately.

#1. TAKS testing...

#2. TELPAS testing...

#3. LAT testing...

#4. GT testing....

#5. Retesting for those that didn't test well the first time.

#6. Testing my nerves and my ability to actually account for everything!!! I took this job and thought the first week was difficult. Hello, they warned me to enjoy it! They(the ever present third group) told me that even when it was slow and I thought I might have a spare moment, that I should inhale the fresh air, enjoy the moments of "thoughtlessness" and smile. Now I am smiling because I am squeezing my rear-end so tightly that the little creases in my mouth make me look like I wear a smile! And so, the picture above is me....waiting for the testing truck to run on over me!
Have a great weekend....And Suzie...I think you have 19 weeks left.

I have arrived !!

Okay, I am there.............I hit the big 5-0 and nothing grand happened. I must say that turning 30 was wonderful, turning 40 was just as fun, so.........I am sure that the 50's will be just as exciting. You are only as old as you want to be, and by the age of my children, I will be at least 40 for a while. I do have pictures that I will someday add to this spot so you can see where I spent my 50th.
