Shelly's Blog

Well, I guess I missed blogging yesterday. Not to worry, though, because I didn't really have a lot to write about anyway! Today, Jessica had a dental appointment to get her teeth cleaned. While she was getting her teeth cleaned, I got my night guard adjusted and hopefully I won't ditch it during the night like the dentist says I might. Evidently, I also have to keep it away from the dog because dogs like to chew on night guards. Alyssa and I are still practicing on memorizing the multiplication tables. She still doesn't believe in my method, but I am on the way to getting her to understand it.

I sat down to write a few lines for Wednesday, when I realized that it's NOT Wednesday! It's only Tuesday.....blah! Well, anyway, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Alyssa made a 95 on her first multiplication test.......We are so proud of her! She has her next multiplication test on Friday for the 3's and 6's and we have been practicing with flash cards for that one. She is supposed to go to a friends house in the evening on Friday and then she is going to the Museum of Natural Science on Saturday for girl scouts to work on a badge. Saturday evening, we are going to go and celebrate Donna's birthday but not sure yet where we will celebrate at.

Once again, it's Monday. I'm just glad that it's almost over. Today was one heck of a day. I was the only service rep in the office and the phones rang off the hook. I ended up taking a late lunch and did a little early Christmas shopping. I feel like I really accomplished something today just by doing that little bit of shopping. I think it must be therapy for me. :o) Once we got home, Glenn had home-made pizza ready for us and the girls got their studying done. Alyssa's got a religion test tomorrow and a multiplication test on Friday. We worked on the flash cards and I think she is well on her way to getting what it's all about. Last year she learned where all the states were and now she is learning what all of the state capitals are. She's going to one smart little cookie! Jessica will start practicing this week for the JV Cheer Christmas show at the Downtown Aquarium on December 14th. They have to learn 2 dances, one Christmas chant and one new cheer for the

Once again, it has been a really beautiful day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temperature didn't get out of the 70's. Jessica worked on her school Social Studies project for most of the day and when she was finished, the whole family went on another bike ride. We rode down the greenbelt up to the elementary school. We rested while the kids played on the playground equipment. Then we took off again through the Willow Lake subdivision and then back to on to our Willow Point subdivision and then on home. When we got home, all four of us threw the football around in the front yard, so I think we all got much needed exercise today. Glenn worked all day on Saturday so he'll get the day off tomorrow. I'm jealous!
