Pictures I promised...

So I don't have a lot to upload right now, but I feel guilty for not posting anything new lately. I have a few new photos that I have come to love and figured I would post them really quick for you guys...

Here's one that Gary took of Micheal and I shortly after I got home from work yesterday:

A close-up of me and my new hair:

Micheal wearing his big-boy boxers:
Well, I need to be getting ready for bed soon... Talk to you tomorrow.

I'm back with pictures!

I figured out what the problem was... I have to load these one at at time, file sizes are too large.

Here we are going to the school:

Here he is at the school, waiting the other students to arrive:
Walking with his teacher to meet the other students:
Waiting for the bus with Lily, his friend from daycare:

With his little hands in his pockets:

Yay! He made it on! Here he is clapping:

He didn't cry until he realized that no one else was getting on the bus with him... He has done good since though, until his bus driver decided that she didn't need to pick him up yesterday. That was an ordeal that involved me calling and yelling at about 10 different people until I finally got the situation resolved. I don't think she'll be doing that again though!

I'm watching Grey's right now and crying like a baby! I love this show and I can't believe what they did... Izzie and Alex deserved to get married. Now I just want to know what happens with Meredith and Derrick.

On another note, I still have not received my grade for Environmental Science. I'm getting extremely nervous, but am still convinced that I will pass. I feel like I did pretty good, I just wish that she would post the grades so that I can move on...

Well, I'm going to get going now. Got a lot to do around here today.

Saved from the dump...

As most of you already know, I have been on a bit of a "green" kick for a while now. I was driving around, after having one awful morning, and doing some retail therapy. Well, retail therapy is not very green. Not green that is unless you're shopping used or you shop behind the store, i.e. the dumpster. I am not a dumpster diver, not by any means. Would not have even gone back there if I hadn't had items that our garbage truck refused to pick up. But I saw this beautiful, perfect, garden bench waiting to go to the dump while I was back there and I just couldn't fathom the idea of it. So I put the perfect bench (whose only crime was having one slightly bent leg) into the van and brought it to it's new home. I LOVE it!

Here is a photo of the new bench:

Now how could they throw that out??? All I know is that it's going to be my new vacation spot. My place to relax. I just need a little table next to it, and I happen to know that I can buy one at Walmart for $15!

Well, I need to get back to my Environmental Science final... Putting the finishing touches on that paper now...

Work today...

I always dread having more than one day off because it makes me really hate going back to work. I miss staying home with my kids. It just really isn't fair, I feel like I miss out on so much. I keep hoping that since I am revamping my resume that I'll find a better position somewhere else. Gary told me last night that he can't wait until I can get a degree and get a job in the field that I've been wanting to get into... He's really starting to back me up. Of course we were talking about bills and I was adding up how much time I have left until I graduate... That feels like forever whenever I do the math. I asked him if he realized just how much I'll be making when I get my Master's and later when I have my Ph.D. and he asked me if he would be a kept man... Yes, we have some crazy conversations...

Oh, I finally got another steam mop yesterday... I have to say that my floors definitely needed it. I out it together and went straight to work. I'm in love with it all over again!

After Gary got home, Micheal and I went to the park with Dorsann and Jake. Micheal loved it... He and Jake got to run and play for an hour. I also came to the realization that my son is a leader, so not a follower. He does his own thing and doesn't care what someone else is doing. He also is good at telling you no, you need to do it like this... 

Here are a few pics of the boys having fun...

Micheal stopping to say cheese:

Do it like this Jake:
Smile for the camera:
Two dirty and tired little boys heading home:
Well I've gotta run... Gonna get ready for work now...
