No school this week, so I've been having difficulty finding the time to come on the site. I'm entertaining both boys all day, & find myself in bed far too early at night.
Everything is going well. I've been feeling sick off & on, but mostly I'm just exhausted & have no appetite. Its good though.....I'm happier when I feel yucky. It just means that...

Just remember, this phase doesn't last forever (it just feels like it will 
). Hang in there. I found chamomile tea really helped calm my stomach and I've heard if you eat a little something before you even get out of bed (like some crackers) it can help. Thinking of you.

Thank you to all of you who sent good thoughts.....my boys' birthday party went off without a hitch! Now the monster can rest until we have another big family gathering....<shutter> Let's not think about that right now. It's a miracle enough that everything went well this time.
You have to picture both my husband's & my families crammed into my tiny little house. (It really...

Glad everything went well for you! I hope the next party goes just as well.

I think your hubby should instigate the trend and start wearing victorian suits promptly.
The boys around hear all wear their pants below their butts...I hate it ... nicely fit pants are so much more attractive.
oh...and you should put your boys in little suits too ... super cute

Where oh where have the last few days gone??? I spent the ENTIRE day cleaning the ENTIRE house today. Scrub, scrub, wipe, wipe, swoosh, swoosh.
I'd like to take a brief moment to thank my mother for giving me the neurotic "clean everything before company comes, even if its already clean" gene. I'm no domestic diva, but since I'm privileged enough to stay at home...

The Easter bunny carries a heafty load to our house...it seems to get bigger every year....and a bit more absurd....but it is very fun.
When did you live in Minneapolis? For how long?

I'm in much better spirits nowadays. Just started planning my boys' birthday parties, & seeing as one of them is this weekend, I need to get my but in gear.
The sun has been shining more & more. The snow piles are beginning to condense, & I can see that spring is now only a couple of months away. Yes folks, there is a light...

Hello Good luck with the B-Day party planning. Hope it's a blast. 
Hello Good luck with the B-Day party planning. Hope it's a blast. I am in a FOUL mood...its getting increasingly worse by the minute!!! For anyone who notices, I changed just a couple of things on my profile for privacy's sake. The last thing I want is for "Joe Shmo" from down the block to accidently stumble across me here. Or worse yet, a friend of my hubby's. All it would take is a quick search for...

Thanks for the birthday wishes

I completly understand this. I too worry about being "discovered". I won't use my girls' names for that reason either. I can't see how it would effect me at the moment if someone figured out who I am, but I plan to teach again someday when the girlies are older. That could be an issue. Anyway, I respect this decision and will try to think of something clever and lovely.

Everyone think of the one person in this world you like the very least (hate is such a strong word)......now find one positive thing to say about them.....
Mine: If it wasn't for him......I wouldn't have the joy of Etree in my life
Ok, your turn.......
Have a beautiful day all!

Ugh...am I tired. I leave in two days...I am both excited and apprehensive. 
I teach 6 classes a day...Art 1 (which is every media), Studio Art and Advanced Studies (at the same time) and Ceramics 1 and II (at the same time). They all get the art history lesson and then the probjects are inspired by the lessons. For example: We just did Early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic...So Art 1 is doing Manuscript Illumination type drawings with mixed media, and Ceramics I are making gargoyles out of clay, and Ceramics II are doing sculptures that have hidden compartments in them inspired by the reliquaries. Studio Art and Adv. Studs. do the art history, but work on their own projects. It makes for very interesting days...especially in an inner-city school.
Sweet dreams....

I just watched "Spongebob, The Movie" w/ my son....Is there anyone high enough to understand why exactly it was & is such the craze. Maybe you can explain it to me as you're coming down????
So....I was dancing in circles w/ my little Bear this morning. I almost fell down after three spins I was so dizzy, & I haven't been the same all day....what's...

I've never seen Spongebob...but several of my kiddies LOVE him...my father (whom is an elementary principal) said that he can't understand the facianation...he says that it's a sponge and sponges are dirty and bacteria ridden...he's a bit odd sometimes but funny.
I finally finished...ugh...700 years of art history all in an 11 page presentation and 55 slides. I'm at an inner-city school and there is no money for slides so I have to scan and download anything I want to use and make it into a powerpoint. All in all...not bad...just exhausting.
Hope tomorrow is good.

Oh..and niced picture...you might have the most perfect lips I've ever seen.

Ok so the pics we took somehow looked much better last night....maybe it was the wine. I erased all but one this morn, & will have to take some better ones later. Oh well, we had fun dorking around anyway....
And although the 1 glass of wine I had last night hit me pretty hard (what a lightweight), I woke up in the best of...

I usually come back whenever we have breaks. And...I just spoke with my parents, and I'm going to come home for the majority of the summer! The wonderful advantages of being a teacher...summers off but without pay...but it is worth it! They are going to fly out and drive back with me and Sidney and then I'll stay there, then they'll drive back with me and they'll fly back. I'm going to try to talk them into driving up to San Francisco at some point because its only 8 hours away and I LOVE it there. Plus we are planning on going to Poland in July, my dad's from there and hasn't been back since he was 8 so we are all very excited. I can't wait until summer!
From the looks of it...you souldn't be camera shy...you're gorgeous...maybe someday I'll be fortunate to photograph you

I won't ever see it..but it sounds nice.
I have polycystic ovarian disease and its doubtful that I'll ever be able to have a child...and even if I do get pregnant, I'd probably miscarry....so I get very excited for other people and worry about them also. I really hope that everything goes ok....and remember ... you have two beatiful boys that you are very lucky for. I envy you
