update

ok, So Tuesday Am, woke up at 5 am, looked outside, snow was falling, just started so it seemed. Turned on King 5 no report for Kent Schools... went and woke up Alec, told him to check it at 6 when he wakes up.. I go back to bed, Now King 5 is reporting a 2 hour delay for Kent Schools. Get up again.. this time knock on three doors, to tell all three boys, they have a two hour delay. Go back to bed again... check King 5 one more time just in case it changed yet again.. but no. So I close my eyes and go to sleep.
At 8 am I hear Sams door open, I also hear someone meet him on the stairs, Good I think, I can stay in bed a bit longer.... KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on my door.. Its Alec, Telling me that they JUST NOW cancelled school for Tuesday! At 8 AM!! ok... I rolled over and went back to sleep ....

To night they have reported a two hour delay for the AM... thank god that I dont have to go thru that again!! Lets hope we get this boys off to school tomorrow, it will be a WEEK since they have been there!!
Now I am the first to tell you how great my boys are, I love them to death, But I am sooo Sick of them !!!! does that make sense?

its been two weeks since I blogged

and you havent missed much, Snow, lots of snow... School has been cancelled for days on end.. good thing today was a holiday, or else today would have been cancelled too I am sure. Even Sam said to me today " Will I ever go to school again" ?? in his cute little whinning voice, lol.
It should warm up tomorrow, but that is after it snows again tonight....
I have enjoyed the time that I have had with the projects for my classes all done, It has been nice. I have had great sign ups for all my classes! It has been an exciting thing me for.. I had to wonder if my first set of classes in the fall was just a fluke on being so successful, I was worried about these three months, Would they like me again?? I thought about that alot, But they do! So much so that my card class that isnt till March 13th, Filled up , so I added another one! My FEB one filled up too, but it was time sensitive with Valentines cards, so I didnt add another one for that.
Anyway, I am still having continued success on my Diet, I am down 32 lbs now, and I will post new pictures when I reach the 35 lb mark ( Hopefully by the end of the month!) I had a MAJOR NSV today ( NSV = Non Scale Victory) I was trying on old clothes, and I tried on a pair of jeans that havent fit me since may of 2001 and they FIT!!! not as good as they had before, still a bit tight in the tummy, but I got them on and zipped and everything else~ That was so awesome ,and it made my stinkin day!!
Ok, Off for now,

lets go back a week















This is from Christmas Eve, And darn it if I couldnt get a single picture of Sam with his eyes OPEN! the flash made him close them, I have about 20 of them, finally the last one he was sitting on the floor, sick of this nonsense. He was happy to pose next to his plate of Cookies for Santa, He loved his new CAR pajamas, and he couldnt wait to get to sleep so Santa could come. Christmas AM he was very happy that Santa came, and he was thrilled with all the goodies and the NOTE that Santa left for him. His favorite toy was the Play moblie Pirate Ship that he got, ( he thought Santa got it for him, but I set him straight that the old fat man doesnt bring EVERYTHING ) lol.

















The other boys had a good time too, they got things they asked for ,and some things they didnt, but they enjoyed all their gifts.

Each year the boys get a new ornament from me. I hate the thought of them leaving me when they grow up, cause my tree will be empty! This was one of Alecs this year, I love this one, no explaination needed for anyone that knows me. This was the other one I got for Alec, sorry for the glare of the flash.















Ok, I am going to warn all my friends, This will not be a good year for me, Or at least the next 6 .5 months. it is KILLING me that Alec is graduating, I cry everytime I think about it, and I dont mean a little tear.. I mean cry like a baby.. I dont know how I will get thru this whole thing.... I have lots to do to get ready for it, and that will keep my busy, but I am so sad that my First born is this grown up.... I love him to death, he is such a great kid, any mom would be so lucky to have him for a son. .... Ok, I will stop now cause I am crying again..lol. I told ya!!


One more picture and I will let you go, This one makes me want to cry to, its of Brett, and he is in his ROTC uniform. IT hurts to see him like this for so many reason.. the biggest one is cause this is what he wants to do with his life.. Join the MARINES.. and while I am so proud that we have raised such a patriotic son, I hate that this is what he wants to do...
