New Post! Can you believe it!

Happy Birthday G! Here are pictures from G's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, and my favorite picture of G. This was taken on the cruise when we were in the Bahamas. She is wearing Granos hat and we are off to get our hair braided (which was closed so we didn't get it done). She had a great time at her party. All the little girls from her class came, 11 in all, and they had two hours of fun, while we watched them and didn't do a lick of clean up. I have to say this is the best kind of party. No set up, no clean up! I think my kids are going to have Chuck E. Cheese parties until they are 15!

In other news...I am registered for my classes for the summer. I am pleased because now I get to take the fun classes. I am registered for Teaching Reading to Children and Language Arts for Teaching. Way more fun than Brit Lit. I have three papers due next week and exams coming up again. I forgot that school wasn't just listening to lectures (it would be much nicer if it was) the professors actually expect you to read and write!

The kids are doing great. Paul has not had any more episodes of headaches, so opefully they are in remission for a good long time (forever). The golf course opened up here so Paul and H have been golfing everday this week. G and I are on our own for everything after school, including dinner. We eat together and the boys eat when they get home. Who put a golf club in that kids hand anyway? He has it bad. Everything is about the golf game. I am registering both kids for the swim team this summer and H is worried it will cut into his golf time. I assured him that swim team is during the workday when Paul is working, so he wouldn't be golfing anyway. H is also writing a book. He has developed a character, Bryan Air, that he has going on all kids of adventures. He is working with his teacher to polish it and get it off to Scholastic to see if he can get it published. It is going to be a picture book with the illustrations done by him as well. G has her artwork being displayed in the City art show this week. We are going to the artist reception next week. The art teacher at her school sent in her catapiller picture and she got a little award for it and they are including it in the show. Can you all stand how much I am bragging this week about the kids! Disgusting isn't it? Well, after the weeks we have had with H it is nice to be bragging a bit.

Spring has really started here. We really do get four seasons. Everyone is wearing flip flops and is on the golf courses. I love the weather, but the people need help. Everyone in this state is so dog-gone nice, but they are only surface friendly. I have yet to really make a good friend. How is that possible. I moved to Hammond and met Becca and Monica super fast. I moved to Astoria and met Melissa and became super buds super fast, I lived in Port Anegeles and becamse super friends with Maureen and Katrina super fast, but not the case here. Everyone is nice, but no one wants to open up and be friends with an outsider, or maybe I just smell.

Dinner this week:
Sausage with mix veg
BBQ beef sandwiches with coleslaw
Parm Chicken
Pizza
Chicken salad sandwiches left from the parm chicken
that is as far as I have planned.

I have loaded the new Kelly Clarkson song on my Ipod, but that is the only new song I have added.

That is all for now, I have to leave for school.
