I know, I know!

It has been awhile again, hasn't it! This two job thing is kicking my butt! It is not the hours that is killing me, but having no set schedule really messes with my head! I know, I know, that is not an adequate excuse and I will try to do better. I am now hanging my head in shame :(!

Well, the Weeklys had a great Christmas and school break. The kids got Nintendo DS's for Christmas, so they kept busy playing those. Breck was so funny! When she opened hers, she started screaming and told me, "I couldn't feel my legs I was so excited!" Because they would not share, Josh and I bought ourselves a Christmas present...our own DS. I got Brain Age II, and just in case you didn't already know, my mind does not work that well. Josh has been playing his James Bond game and regularly getting a lower Brain Age than me which does not aggravate me at all. On an unrelated note, I learned from one of my Brain Age tips that getting angry at the drop of a hat is a sign of deteriorating brain function.

Now, we are all trying to get back into the swing of things. The kids are back in school and I am back to work (at one place or another). Josh really did not get too much time off this year. Usually he takes off the whole week, but he was needed on the job site.

Breck has been typing stories on my computer the last couple nights, so I told her I would post them on my blog. You may notice in the first story that I taught her how to use the Thesaurus function. Here they are completely unedited.

My Nightmare
Last night I had a extreme nightmare. I was a wizard. Well to be exact my family was. It was so spine-chilling! I had it more than once! I think that was a bad nightmare cause I hate it! We went to a hideous restaurant. Enthusiasm isn’t in my nightmare. Once I went for a walk at night with my brother in my nightmare. Every time I dreamed my nightmare it was different. Once someone was off of the little mermaid. She is awfully cruel. I hope you like my story. Bye

Today was …well I don’t know exactly know. I started a story in class. It’s about me getting my D.S. It’s called The Night Before Christmas Eve. We usually open presents on Christmas Eve, but not this year! I was so happy. My brother did too. First we opened the stuff that wasn’t as interesting as the D.S. After I saw my D.S. I screamed. I started playing my D.S. right away. I got a game named Nintendogs. My first dog I ever got was a golden retriever. It’s name is Daisy. I have seven other dogs. My favorite is Daisy. Nintendogs is the only game I have. I love my D.S. Bye

Welcome Back! :) I have to say, the DS was a popular gift among my students this year too. It seemed like 1/2 my kids got one or a game for one. Glad you guys had a fun holiday!

Glad Breck's first Nintendog was a Golden Retriever! We maybe don't live close or see each other much but she is definitely my niece!!!
