Just some random pictures..

Ok do you see that, YES IT'S A BOBCAT. I walk down three steps from my front porch and voila a table with a tired bobcat is what I saw. I told you we get critter's!!!eeeeks




Now in fourth grade we do the "California" project and my daughter picked "San Diego". This one was easier but please don't notice I forgot to put the water by Shamu, he's just jumping outta thin air basically happy this project is over!!!LOL She was very proud because to the right are 14 pictures and she was the only one that had that many, a big high five to me thank you very much!!LOL The left side was the map of san diego and a timeline which came out very cool to. lol ok ok she wrote her own paper which was five pages!!! All I can say I am glad the PROJECTS ARE OVER!!! until next year that is.....





And of course the BIG PROJECT DISPLAY BOARD, this was part of my sixth graders country report. I helped him type 18 pages for his report, can you believe that he wrote that much. The country he picked was Australia. Ok please notice my handy work,,,ok ok ok no dissing me for helping you all know you help your kids, and if you say you don't your lying!!LOL ok j/k. I handmade the flags the "aboriginal" one was easy but the Australia one was a bit more time consuming. My son drew the maps you see on the left and right and there's more on the back sides. The title was my friends idea it's the sun with the name of the country thru it, I found some boomerang stickers and used that as the border underneath and attached a souvenir koala my friend gave me a few years back when she went to australia to visit her husbands family.




Hey look it's Spartacus!!! Nahhh it's my big sixth grader son Cole isn't he cute. He new his lines and acted out being the man, how cool is that.




This is me and my daughter in Sacramento over the Sacramento River where Gold was discovered. I just love this picture.



Ok now this one, you all have to comment..LOL this is me and three of my sisters with my mom on Mother's day. We went to Victoria Gardens a new shopping center here California. I just have to mention the big boobed girl on the far left is me, LOL just kidding it's my sister she got the "job" done a few months back can ya tell she likes them!!!LOL



This was taken at Olvera street my son did his last cultural report on my grandmother's candy booth that is still there that my aunt runs.

Dont'cha just hate ordering prints!!!

Ok so tonight I go to Sam's club to order some prints, ok not just some but more like 321!!!! Is that scary or what?.......Oy' It took me 45 minutes to edit and go thru what I wanted. I even forgot what pictures I took.lol. They were mainly of mothers day, baseball games and my son Cole's Olympiad thingy he's doing for sixth grade!! Which reminds me I need to vent!!LOL There are four sixth grade class's and they all are participating in this "Olympiad" it's a two day event which the Academic part was held this past friday. This coming friday is the parade, games and feast. Well our class was nominated to be in charge of the food. Ok this school that my kids go to, you can say most of the families are well off. The thing is me and the other room mom never ever or hardly get help there are like 2 other mom's from a class of 32 that help us. Ok so were in charge of getting the food for this feast, were told to "just order from where we got it last year". Ok the thinking that some of these women on the PFA have is "we pay for it up front and they will reimburse us". Well the cost for the food so far is $661.86 to be exact and the "little peeps" that are in charge of the 6th grade funds said it will take two weeks to cut us a check and oooooo "why don't we just put it on our charge card". OK SCUUUUUUZE me, NOT!!! I know they will pay but I just thought it quite rude to just expect me or the other mom to foot the bill upfront and then have to wait two to three weeks to be reimbursed our money, I'm sorry but I don't have "just $700" laying around and I don't like putting stuff on my card like that. So when I told the "PFA president" she got all huffy and just said fine I'll do it, of course she didn't say it to my face but in a short email to me, because she knows I'd seriously have to verbally lay into her!!! UGH does anyone else out there hate the "clique's" that go on in school's and I'm not talking about the kids but the adults!!!! Man two more years and I"m done with this school!!! Jr High and High school is way easier after going to this school!!!LOL

ok end of vent!!!

Well where have I been???

Ok so far all of the "two" readers that read my blog, SORRYYYYYYYYY. I can't believe it's been way over a month since I last blogged. BUT FIRST, DID YA NOTICE THE NEW LOOK? My very good friend "Deanna, domestchicky" made the banner and the background, and she included one of my all time favorite quotes. Does it rock or what??!!!

MUCHO GRACIA'S DEANNA!!!!

Before I go I will say this last month and a 1/2 has been absolutely crazy!!! But can I say SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!!! I can not wait until school is out, I HATE PROJECTS AND HOMEWORK!!!LOL Last week was a nightmare, I typed a 18 page country report for my sixth grader (yes 18 pages, sixth grade??) I made a display board for my fourth grader who did her report on "San Diego" ok not just one thing in San Diego but allllll of San Diego!!LOL Then I also did the display board for my son's country report on Australia, I have to say both came out nice!!! Anyone in need of display boards for your future 4th or 6th grader I will sell them to the highest bidder!!LOL....

So not only did I do the above but I also worked four out of five days, did I mention I am a merchandiser for Hawaiian Tropic the suntan lotion company. Of course I still did the regular stay at home mom stuff like laundry, cook and somewhat clean!!!lol

Promise next post will be with some pic's and I think I will start posting recipe's with pic's to, ;).

Until then, tell me about your week ;)
