Our Family Memorial Day BBQ/Craft night

Yesterday all the family came over to hangout. The guys and Becca (thanks boys for letting her come. She loved hanging out with all of you.) took off in the early afternoon to watch Terminator. The girls watched the kids and visited with each other and grandma Kidd. When the boys got home, we had a wonderful bbq. Thanks Erin for making your fabulous bean salsa and Drue for making your broccoli salad, they were both yummy. After dinner the girls began their craft! I was excited that we actually made it happen and this is craft month number two. For our craft this month we made magnet boards. Erin came up with the idea and it was a great one. It was soo fun to see how each of us could take the same board and come out with something completly different. They all turned out wonderful. I can't wait to do it again next month!

I'm one proud mamma

Tonight Richard and I went to the Jr. High to the 9th grade honor awards night. We had no idea what it would be but Becca was invited so away we went. We were so proud of her. She recieved 4 awards for academic excellence and 1 outstanding for her district quartet. Wow!!! Unfortuantly I forgot to take my camera so I have no pictures of tonight. I am soooo proud of her. (have i said that enough?) She amazes me everyday. I am so proud to be her mother and she makes being a mother so easy (well, all my kids do). Keep up the good work Becca. I can't wait to see what you do in High School!

My Crazy World

What was I thinking last year when I decided that getting my masters was a good idea? I think I had a moment of insanity. While, i guess it is probably not my first nor will it be my last, but tonight it is really getting to me. I am trying to write a paper that I really do not what to write, the schools web site is down and I am sitting here wondering what I was thinking. It does not help that this particular class I have just not been able to get into. Educational Finance. I know it is important, and if they would have just given my number to cruch I would have done it easily and been a happy camper ( in another life I thought Iwanted to be an accountant. I have a degree in accounting finished except for a semester but that is another story). I guess that when it comes to finance, theroy just does not float my boat, i want something that actually gives me some examples of what I am going to be expected to do when they put me in a school and tell me I am in charge.
THanks for letting me rant, Next year at this time I am sure I will be posting about how glad I am that I got my masters and that I am almost done.

Funny picture

I saw this motivational poster on another blogg and it made me laugh. That is so me. That is why I am writing this post instead of a paper on educational finance.
