Ramblin #30

I've had this here blog for 3 years now and have only rambled 29 times. What is wrong with me??? so I thought I would add one more.

It's Spring!!! Last week I spent 3 days in the yard. Picking up trash, diggin' in the dirt, planting flowers, cleaning a pool and I even learned how to change the battery on the lawnmower!!!

I love getting out in the yard. It's so therapeutic. I can talk to God, complain, talk some more and gripe about the fire ants! It's such a freeing feeling. Especially riding the lawnmower at full speed with the wind in your hair. Most of the time I'm doing that only because it involves bugs.

For some reason the links in my side bar are so messed up. I've tried changing the color but they won't change. Two weeks ago, our church had a Father/Daughter Banquet. It was sweet! I've seen the pictures and they're so good!!! Maybe one day we'll be able to get some of them...hint, hint...LOL!!! Just kidding Gina!!!

For 10 days now, I've been nursing bags full of Amish Friendship Bread starter mix...man, can that stuff get stinky!!! I spent most of the afternoon making cinnamon bread and muffins. I love my new little muffin pan from Pampered Chef! You just have to watch 'em closely. Trust me, burnt cinnamon muffins aren't all that hot.

AND did anyone see DWTS last night!!!???? OMG!!!! The last three will be Gilles, Shawn and Melissa!!! They were all fabulous!

PLEASE, PLEASE send Holly Madison home...

Ok, call me crazy BUT I've already started purchasing next school years curriculum. There's a friend that use to own a bookstore where I, actually a lot of us, would buy or trade our homeschool stuff. She is no longer in business (sniff, sniff). Anyway, she allowed those who wanted to come and go thru her stuff if we wanted to buy anything.

I bought some of Amanda's stuff for next year AND the year after. So I'm thinking, if I can keep ahead and buy a little here and there it won't hurt so the pocket book so much!!!

We are however, going to change our math curriculum next year. Amanda needs something or someone who will be able to explain it to her so she'll fully understand it and not become so overwhelmed or frustrated. Which is the problem we are facing right now. I've heard so many good things about this so that's what we're goin' try.

Our trip to King Tut will be April 20th. We are so looking forward to going and being with the friends that are going along too! We probably need to do some kind of lesson before we go...note to self.

We're planning a trip to Washington DC this year. Last year it was San Antonio, the year before it was Disney World. My son, Michael and I are excited since both of us are history enthusiast. In history this year, Amanda and I have been reading about American History using the Beautiful Feet Early American History Guide

It'll be exciting to see all the monuments and documents that we read about!!!

Anyway...I guess that's enough ramblin' for now...got 10 minutes before DWTS comes on. Please let that girl go home!!!

Keep ramblin'! I check everyday to see what's new and exciting. We are soul sisters on the lawnmower. That will be one of the first things I'll want to do after recovery! I think I'll strap that baby in the backpack and go!
