Valentine's Dance

Image
Last night was the Anual Valentines Dance at church. It's the only time that we get to forget we're adults and kick it old school. We got down to YMCA... got our groove on... and sweat to the Cotton Eye Joe! There wasn't however, any rule about keeping your distance or your lips to yourself ;) Way to go, RO ! Lisa was in town so I talked her into being my date and we had a great time letting our hair down! We got there late and missed the Thriller dance off between a friend of mine and an unsuspecting guy on the dance floor. It's was like being 14 all over again, complete with old folks glaring at us for being rowdy. I was amazed at how many songs there were to line dance to. Lisa and I are anti line dancing. Lisa because if she can't look the best she doesn't participate and me because I don't conform. What about you...line dancer or non-conformist??

Weekend Update

Image
We had a good weekend. 2 basketball games for the boys, a double date with friends, and an easy going Superbowl party. The boys had so much fun dressing up like girls, playing the Play Station, and hanging out with friends. Dylan and I made his Valentine box for school. I just purchased a box from Michaels, had Jason cut a hole in the top (a requirement), and then I bought a wood "D" and glued it on as a handle. I let Dylan pick out the paper (big mistake - neon red) and then I had to talk him into getting Spiderman stickers to make it more "manly". I think he did such a great job decorating it. He's beaming with pride. ;) With the new year came new teachers at church. They all got amazing ones and so I feel very fortunate. Davis' teacher made him a binder that he should bring to church each Sunday along with his scriptures. You wouldn't think this would be a problem, but it has caused some logistical issues. Therefore, I decorated these 3 totes for each...

The "gloved one" is back! ;) Somehow, I'm getting the feeling that I need to get out the dress up box. ;)

Welcome To My Life

I can always tell what mood I'm in, by the music I'm listening too. I love the band Simple Plan! They're a group that I can totally relate too, especially when I'm angry. ;) I've been listenting to this song for the past week, to help deal. I don't believe the lyrics "No you don't know what it's like" because I think you do. We can all relate to difficult struggles no matter what the forum. So here's a "shout out" to everyone out there who's dealing with hard trials with kids, spouces, finacially, work, or with health problems. I'll let Simple Plan unite us with "Welcome to My Life!"

Grumpy!

I was trying to save this post until I had the results to share with you but I've got to vent a bit and let it out. I've been seriously so grumpy the past week! I've been diving into project after project trying to keep my spirits up and keep my mind distracted. But it's not working. I spent 8 hours at the psychologists’ office and had Dylan tested. For what? I have no idea. Learning disorders, audio response issues, ADHD, you name it. I’ve also had his hearing and vision checked. I'm at a complete loss as to what is going on with my little boy. He's been having problems at school and a couple weeks ago, his teacher called and asked me to take him home. He's also had some problems at church as well. The doctor needs another week to gather all the testing results and paperwork to come up with his final diagnosis. I’m tired and I don’t want to go through this whole process all over again (like we’ve done with Davis several times already). I was counting on Dyl...
