A New School Year... Darn.

It is the second week of school... I wasn't ready to come back. I was enjoying my summer, thank you very much! But I guess I'll get over it by next summer :)

We now have four kids to get ready every morning! Bryce and Henry, and our two new girls, Ashilee and Brytini. They are in 6th and 2nd grades. It has been nice having older kids around, they really help out with the boys! Ashilee has decided she is going to do cheerleading this year, so we have practice after school til 5 on Mondays and Tuesdays... At least the lady that is keeping Bryce and Henry is nice enough to bring them to me in the afternoons. That is such a wonderful thing to not have to run off to pick them up and then go back to school to pick up Ashilee. That would be a lot of running around, especially since we are out in the middle of nowhere and I'd have to drive 20 miles round trip to get them.

I am also senior sponsor, which means I have to do every concession stand at every home game from here to eternity. I did NOT sign up for this!! Anyway, today we are doing benchmark tests. A practice TAKS test basically. In my opinion it is a big waste of time, but they didn't ask me. So I am in with a class of 2 people supervising so I decided I should update the blog.

Other than work, life is actually pretty peachy:) Bryce just turned 2 a week ago, and Henry is almost 6 months old now... Ashilee turned 12 in July and Brytini was 7 in March. We also just got a new puppy named Abraham. There is a story that is really sad as to why we don't have Damascus anymore, but I won't dwell on that today. Abraham is a mastiff (half American, half English?). He is a fawn color with black around his nose and mouth. He's a cutie...

As long as I'm rambling, we got Netflix this month, and I have to say that I like it a lot. Being out in the middle of nowhere like we are, it is a huge hassle to rent a movie and then be able to bring it back on time, and on the satellite it is more expensive and you have to wait for the movie to come on to watch it on Pay per view. This netflix is cool, we just send the one we watched in, and we get another a couple of days later. We watched Deja Vu last night, that was a good movie. I really like Denzel Washington anyway, and the story was really interesting. Two thumbs up from Marcie and Abraham:)
