Today is my honey's birthday...Happy Birthday!! I have known this dude since I was a Sophomore in high school. We started dating then and were "High school sweethearts".I really can't think of to many of my classmates that have stayed married to the same person for 20 or more years. Now days that is a colossal achievement.
Now don't think that everything has been a "bed or roses". Of course we have wanted to string one another up at times but have refrained from doing so. Only because of the children.
I have known him since he was 18 years old. WOW!! and now he's ??? I've seen him at his worse and his best. It makes me really proud to have him by my side (not in front or behind) and that he is willing to deal with my issues. Not that I have that many, mind you.
Anyway...Happy Birthday, I love you!!
Now on to the important stuff...LOL!!
School. School. School. Need I say more. We have been so busy! Tomorrow we will finish our first unit of Bible truths, Good bye Moses and Joshua. Man, it has gone by quick! Our next unit we will begin to talk about David. I'm excited about it!!
Place Value...ones, tens, hundreds, thousands...WOW I think she understands it. She made a 71 on her test over it. 70 is passing, right?? Have you ever had to write 43,743,821 in expanded form lately???
English will be learning how to write a personal narrative story. Of course Amanda will write about our Orlando trip. So maybe she will be excited about it.
Spelling, Handwriting and Reading...same ol' stuff.
Science will be dealing with electricity...in the science kit there is a big battery, wire and a switch. I have NO IDEA!!!!! I am scared!!!!!
And...has anyone been to the video store lately???
We went in last week to rent some movies for the weekend. Is it me or has anyone else noticed that the ONLY MOVIES they have to rent are SCARY, NASTY OR STUPID???????
It gives me chills to look at some of the covers! There are only 3 rows of "Family/kids" movies. You know...Sound of Music, Air Bud, Annie, Disney stuff. What is up with this??
It is very discouraging to go in and not be able to find anything to entertain me. I do love to be entertained!!
Speaking of entertainment...SURVIVOR begins tomorrow!!!
Then DANCING WITH THE STARS next Monday!! I am so excited!!!
I think I watch these shows because I secretly want to be able to do this...I'm a weenie and would NOT make it on Survivor. I hate bugs and I'm bossy...I would be kicked off at the first Tribal Council, if I lasted that long. I totally enjoy our AC and running water. Like I said, I'm a weenie.
And to Dance! I would love to be able to dance like those dancers. It takes an incredible athlete, discipline, and practice to be as graceful as they are. But the only thing holding me back is the "Birthday Boy". He wouldn't be caught dead doing that. He would rather have toothpicks shoved under his finger nails.
Now for the record...I am NOT a fan of their costumes. Mine would have to have a little more material! Maybe some from Texas Tent and Awning!!! Shoes, couldn't do heels. I don't even own a pair of heels, I can't even walk in heels! And of course, I'm sure somewhere in there height would be an issue. So I would be dead in the water.
Well, I'd better be going so "Birthday Boy" can eat.

do you think the bossy part comes from the Sapp side of the family?
i had Clay start writing an outline for his favorite comic book thinking he would like that more. HA!
now, when he asks me why he has to do something (as in school work) I just tell him that I needed something else to torture him with and this is what I have come up with.
Dreama - have you ever heard of Feature Films for Families. We purchased their whole library when our children were smaller (I know they've updated and added to the titles since then). Each one teaches a moral centered lesson that turns the focus toward God. I don't have their contact information in front of me, but you can look them up on the Internet. Have a great day and don't forget to kick up your heals - Maybe you have a little Donna Summer in you - remember the song "Dance?"
Nancy: Sapps, Bossy??? I will remember the torture answer, I love it!!
Dale: I looked up the Feature Films for Families. I believe it is something I will be looking into, Thanks for the idea. I had never heard of these films.
And yes, I remember the song...but I think it was "Last Dance". I really liked Disco! But don't tell anyone :)
Hey Dreama
Its Holly from Dallas. Anyways, Adam and I have ended up signing up for Net Flix and Love it. What we do is go to Christiancinema.com and look up movies there and then search them on net flix to have them delivered to our home. Its really a nice option and it has saved our eyes from the horrors of blockbuster......
Holly: I wondered about NetFlix. I haven't looked at it but did receive something in the mail about a free trial. I might give that a shot. Thanks!!
