Way to go, Katie!
Yay for Katie!!
Since we were gone last year until the day before school started I don't know if the kids can go to the school the week before and get their schedules or not.I know they don't send them out.
Congratulations to Katie!
So the question of the day is do I have twin girls sharing my birthday??
I am not caught up. I have to prepare stuff for Relay. There is actually a meeting tonight but I did not go.
We had a good time at camp. We had some noisy raccoon visitors that got into the metal trash cans and they were rolling down the ramp. They came back 3-4 times. There was also a smoke detector in one of the tree houses with a dead battery. It kept beeping like every 30 seconds. We only discovered this around midnight. So we just dealt with the beeping. We played some games, did some crafts, went for 2 hikes, went swimming and had a campfire. The girls had a good time and so did I.
I had Coldstone tonight. But I also have ice cream cake as well, but I think that will wait till tomorrow.
I got this flag and pole as a birthday gift/thank you for helping with the party. I think I will probably take the flag and hang it in my office. I will use the pole for another flag. I will enjoy it more that way.
I am thinking about heading to bed soon, as I know that this weekend will also be lacking sleep with Relay.
Katie got her class assignments for the fall (her 1st year of middle school). She was placed in accelerated spanish & math and regents classes for english, science, & social studies.She was fresh earlier this week & had lost tv priviledges so when the letter came home today her punishment was cut short. I am so proud of her..even though she's been trying my patience now & again,
Sounds a little personal Deb
Do not read the first paragraph if you do not like bridges.
That means you......Stephanie......
I am here in Kitty Hawk, NC
I left this morning from my house at 11:30 am after getting to work at 7:45am so I could finish up a few things. I punched in the address and took off. I knew the GPS was going to try to send me down to eventually get on 95. I wanted to avoid that at all costs. So, I kept turning left and it would "recalculate" each time until I got close to 95 where I did have to drive a very short distance on it. After that, it gave me the exact directions the kids had given to me. This model even gives you the time you could expect to arrive at your destination. So far I am loving it!!! I even can tolerate the voice since I do not have a choice. I knew the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was coming up and I knew that yes it had been a very long time since I had driven the 7 mile bridge going down to the keys. I figured I could handle the 17 mile bridge. WRONG It didn't help that Guenna had said to me----Mom--don't freak out on the bridge. you will be okay wont' you??? It seems that when you are on a bridge, the GPS shows the little car on the road with nothing but blue all around it let me say it again--------nothing but blue and the little car and the road.
I got off the bridge and felt like the lamb thrown into the slaughter. the drivers right after that are absoutely the worse I have ever seen in a very long time. I thought I was gonna put my foot thru the floorboard.
I finally got here and started to get out of the car, and had to sit a bit. I was shaking so much from the drive. I have always loved to drive, but this was the worst I have ever experienced in a very long time.
The place is just beautiful. I am getting ready to sit in the hot tub. Need to soothe the body before bed.
I will read along and then say night everyone.
Hopefully my luck will continue tomorrow night.
