Another day......

Today was pretty normal. I only had 2 kids this morning, so it was pretty calm.

Yesterday Heather, Taylor, and I picked up my Mom in Hart and went up to Scottville to watch Austin & Trevor's hockey games. They're just adorable out there!! 'Course they wouldn't like that word, lol. They both lost their games, but Austin made a goal and Trevor's so damn cute with his glasses on!!

We then went to my sister Deanna's and made home made pizzas. Ohhh, they were yummy!!! Came home and cleaned and did homework.

Last Saturday Heather, Taylor, Katie, and Matthew and I went to Subway, then to Shyann's birthday party at Jumpin' Jupiter. Shyann and her brother Alec used to be in my daycare. I miss them terribly!!! They're growing so fast.....

I still have lots of homework to do. They say to do 2 hours of homework for every hour of class time. Hmmm, wonder if I have 16 extra hours per week to study??? lol Yeah, right..... But I'm really enjoying it. My English class is really easy. I was always good at that in high school & enjoyed writing. Now I like it much better because of Microsoft Word 2007, lol. Let me just say that technology has made school MUCH easier!!! And to think that I loved my typewriter in high school!! lmao

Heather's been ok, her moods swing like a chimp on a tree. Today was really good, and I just love that. Her psychiatrist told me to keep track of her moods, their times of day, month, etc. We're going to try and figure out if her bitchiness happens once a month or if her meds need to be adjusted. We'll see......

Taylor's doing exceptional. She's really a smart little shit. She's still getting all A's and never has any homework from school. Kind of boring, lol. Tonight she had an extra credit assignment to write and illustrate a fictional story for a Reading Rainbow competition. She may not win, but she's so damn cute and did a great job.

Jon's still laid off from Shape. He's supposed to hear something within the next couple of weeks as to whether or not he's getting called back. Our insurance runs out on the 17th, so cross fingers, toes, boobs, whatever you can cross for good luck!!! We already have a ton of money each month going out for scripts and we couldn't do it without insurance.....

Fire Station

Katie & I took kids to the fire dept. tonight. It's Fire Prevention Week and they always have an open house. They showed how they took the roof off of a mini van, tons of handouts, hats, stickers, etc., food (Pizza Hut, yum!!), Ronald McDonald doing magic, and fire truck rides.

The kids had fun and were really good. We took Heather & Taylor, Katie's son Matthew, Ethan & Tyler (daycare kids), and met another daycare Grandma (and Brianna). Here's some pics.....

Heather volunteered to do magic with Ronald.

The van that they tore the roof off of


The look on the kids' faces when they tore the windshield off


In the fire truck for a ride. Taylor & I got to sit in front & she was the horn blower.
They liked Ronald McDonald's magic tricks

Brianna pretending to dial 911 for an emergency
They were mesmerized at Ronald

Too cute!! Ethan, Tyler, and Matthew wanted NOTHING to do with having their pic taken with Ronald!! lol

Ronald was fun!!
