First day of school

Okay...so am I caught up on blogs yet?? Don't worry I have a few more up my sleeve.
So, yesterday was my first day of college, and I think I may have gotten more worked up than was necessary. I start of with English, which is an easy subject for me...and as far as I'm concerned I think I should be in a higher class than English 101. Anyway, then I have lunch. So far not a tough day, huh? After lunch I go to math, which is also mostly review for me, then I have Gen. Bio. which is also mostly review, plus my instructor is kinda new and seems too casual for what I want a teacher to be. The other factor is that I'm fairly certain I am the oldest student in all those classes, which can be frustrating because all the kids in the class have no idea what they're doing...which means...class is going to move very slowly!!! But on the bright side (as my family has been telling me) at least it's not hard and intimidating. So...to all you who have been not so patiently waiting - I am finally in school. woo hoo.
Thank you all for your support and for pushing me to do it... I needed the push. You know me.


...by the way...please ignore the picture of my cleavage on my sisters blog...that was unkind, and she will pay....really I guess it's my fault for making it available...don't worry I learn quickly.
oh yeah, the other thing regarding this (apparently I didn't learn quick enough) I will never wear a low necked shirt to school....bending over in lab only results in young boys looking down my shirt!

You know...Dad just sent me ALL of the VHS tapes from our childhoods. I'm SURE we could find something on them to post on your blog as retribution.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...
