Two decades ago ...

 

What was happening 20 years ago today? 

Here are a few things ...

Wordless Wednesday ... Happy Halloween

Class of 2011 - Homecoming

I graduated from high school in 1990. Even though that was over two decades ago I still remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the senior pictures, our homecoming and building a float for the parade, along with all the laughter and tears spread out over an entire school year. Remember when your parents told you to cherish those times because they were supposed to be the best years of your life and how one day you would long to be back at high school? It seems that now I'm saying those exact same things to my middle child. My son, Zac, is part of the proud class of 2011.

Wordless Wednesday ...

Will Work for School Fees …

There are those days that I just want to sit down and pound out a semi-nasty letter to the people who keep sending me little notes home, via my teens, regarding the new school fees that I have to pay.

Day Five! The number five reminds me of a cute little song that the kids and I used to sing together. Hearing it makes me smile. :)

Firsts Are Usually the Best

First loves, first jobs, first anything ... are usually the sweetest. I enjoy sharing in my kids "firsts". The girls came to me with their first kisses and we laughed and cried about it. Today I was thrilled to be a part of one of my son's firsts.

The 10 Commandments

My youngest daughter has a teacher that has posted his 10 commandments for his classroom. If the students break a rule, "forget" their homework or feed it to their dogs or even come to class unprepared; he makes them write the commandments 10 times each (or more). Unfortunately my child knows them by heart. I thought that I would share them with you.

Past Blogs

I was rereading a few blogs that I had posted on my MySpace last year. I got so amused by them I thought I would share some of them.
