It's been so long since I've been here that I don't even know where to begin, so bear with me and I'll try not to ramble on. School started over a month ago and boy is it in full swing. Jessica was going to try out for the SAS Volleyball team but decided against it at the last minute. She really loves her tumbling class and thought that it might interfer with it. She'd rather tumble than anything. Alyssa also started tumbling at the beginning of September and really loves it, too. We've already had several tests and I'm trying my best to make sure that Alyssa makes decent grades but she's struggling with several of her classes. We've also had Spirit Week at school and the kids have worn crazy shoes & socks, crazy ties & hats, crazy hair & face, and pajama bottoms and spirit shirts. Jessica is on the Yearbook Staff and is having fun. Alyssa goes to Camp Kappe next week and will be gone from Tuesday through Friday......we're going to mi...
A Look in to 2017 The last time I posted in this blog, Jessica was going to prom and Alyssa had just turned 15. So, to update, Jessica is now about to finish her second year of college at Texas Women's University in Denton. She will be coming back home this summer and finishing her last 2 years of nursing school here at TWU in Houston. We are all really excited to have her be coming back home. Alyssa is now about to finish 11th grade at JV High School. Alyssa is in a Health Sciences class this year and goes to CyFair hospital to help out. She is about to turn 17 next month and will be a SENIOR next year. Time to start thinking about colleges for my baby girl! In October of 2016, we moved my mom and dad into a new house closer to Donna and myself. This has worked out great with being able to see them more regularly and since they have both had some health issues it has been easier for Donna to get them to their doctors appointment...
Fireworks! Happy New Years, everyone!!! The girls and I went to the movies this afternoon to see "Marley and Me".........great movie! Of course, I boohoo'd at the end and then Alyssa turned around and said, "Mom! Why are you crying?" My kids, just don't get it. Although Alyssa did say that she thought it was very sad......AND why do people have to make such sad movies. I think she was looking for a happy ending. My kind of gal! This evening, the girls and I met Nana, Donna & Bri, and Jane, Cailin & Katy at Tokyo One. I almost felt guilty for only paying the kids price for the kids since I think they ate as much food as I did. I don't know how it happened but somewhere along the way both of my kids have acquired a liking for shrimp. Doesn't matter how it's cooked, they just really like shrimp. I think we made three trips to the hibachi station for steak and shrimp, just for Alyssa. I also tried some different kinds of sushi that I have ne...
