Long Ramble

Lots going on as usual. I'm still on this stupid diet, which I guess I'm not doing bad, but I wish it would melt off way more quickly. I try not to think how much I still have to go, just keep going without thinking much about the big number.

I went to Dickson for my Mom's birthday party and it went pretty good actually. The kids had a blast and I actually talked to my sister. Things aren't back to normal, but at least we talked. It's been almost a year. crazy.

Jackson's doing well in school. I had my first parent teacher conference last week, and the teacher thinks so highly of Jackson and he got the only perfect score on his test evaluation out of 20 kids. Go Jackson!!! They keep finding snakes in his school, which definitely has me concerned, but not my boy. He wants to catch one and bring it home. lol YIKES!!!

Jackson's on fall break, and poor kid got sick the first day. There went the fun playdate plans we had made for the week. Fortunately I think he will still be able to go to one playdate this week though.

As for Elena, she's my sweet little Princess as usual. We've gotten so close since she's been staying with me, whether at home or work, and I'm enjoying my time with her. I still need to find a good program for her, but right now, I just can't afford it. So I will continue to make the best of it, and enjoy my little princess.

Speaking of princess, we went to Disney on Ice last week and it was FABULOUS!!!! I highley recommend it, and I'm not sure which of us had more fun. I need to get hubby to help me load a pic on here.

I'm doing good as well. I'm actually reading, haven't done much of that in years, but I'm in a book club w/ some friends and we're reading The Shack. A very tough emotional read, but it's so good I have a hard time putting the book down.

Tomorrow night is the opener Pred game, even though we had to get rid of our season tickets, we still bought some tickets for the opener. We haven't missed an opener in 10 years, so we couldn't start now. Ciao for now!
