Well, here I am still awake and won't be able to go to sleep for another hour or so. How does this happen??? I just seem to find things to piddle with before I go to bed each night...whether it be downloading songs for my ipod, reading, or checking pleo...I don't go to bed before 2am. This is what summer is for I guess. I just know that this lifestyle isn't do-able when you have kids...
Anna wakes up when the sun's alarm clock goes off... so I better at least stretch out so that when I get up I won't be cranky.

Hey... I don't know if you are like us... but we are getting really burned out on Mexican food, seems to be the only type of food in La Porte...so some friends of my mom have opened this place up in Deer Park/Pasadena. ( not sure where it falls)
Magnolia Cafe'/Bakery...(On Fairmont) It is awesome... They have the best cookies... soups, and salads and even "guy food". It's by Incredible Pizza on the left side shppoing center.... (behind Cavenders) :)
Give it a try... I am sure that you all will be pleased.

By the way... we are packed!!!!!! :)

How can it take SOOOOOOO long to get ready for 1 week??? Secondly... how much money has to fly out of our bank account before we are ready to leave. Money is just flying out of our house... so if you are really in need you should come stand on our driveway... and I think some of this cash will stick to you!
I am getting anxious to go, but Brian's suitcase is the only one ready to go! So... I better get off of this computer and get busy! I'm to Wal-Mart to get just a few MORE things! :) Ha!

You know I LOVE going on vacation! We are about to set out on a 7 day voyage!!! Jamacia, Grand Caymen, and Cozumel...here we come! I am really getting excited, but am a little nervous about the kids going with us...but all in all it will be great fun!
The part that I don't like is the pressure of making sure that I don't forget anything... and if you know me.... it is a wonder that I am capable of getting out of the house without forgetting one of the kids. :) Brian nicely suggests that I should make a list; so I did! He went with my "List of Medicine" we needed to bring just in case and bought what we didn't have. (What a helper!)
Then I made a list of all the things that we were all taking! So far so good right!? Well I have been looking for that list for the past 3 hours! SO FRUSTRATING!!!! So I guess I am just going to start over! I hope everyone has a GREAT Tuesday!

I am so excited!!!! I had a great surprise... If you guys don't know... I am a collector of all sorts of M&M stuff! I have about 14 different dispensers... and decided to make that my classroom theme... anyway. Two of my students went to New York this past week, and brought me back several desk accessories. I am now the proud owner of an M&M stapler... pens, and picture frame for my desk! YEA!!!!! I was already given an M&M calendar, note pads, magnets... and sticky notes!!!! Anyway this was a great surprise. ( I love great surprises!!! :) ) It is times like these... that I feel like it is a crime to get paid for my job... plus the fact that it is summer! ;)
