Well this weekend has really been great. Donovan had Tball practice on Friday. He did a great job. He is so cute batting. I love my little man.
Saturday, we really didn't do much. We took Donovan to see the Smurfs. It was a cute movie. I remember the Smurfs. I loved that show. Donovan really enjoyed it and Scott really liked it too. It was so nice to do a family thing. After the movie we went to the mall. It was a nice day.
Sunday was just a relaxing day. I did absolutely nothing. In fact Donovan and I didn't make it to church. We slept in which is really unusual. I started getting my backpacks together for Operation Backpack for a friend who is collecting items. I just need to go get some binders tomorrow and we will have a backpack put together. I was so excited I was able to get two backpacks for 9.99 at Walgreens.
Scott and I did take Donovan swimming. I am so worried about Donovan, he has anger management issues. I don't want him to be like some of the kids I teach. I know that is horrible, but we have to find a way to control his anger. I am not sure if it is just me or it is everyone. I stayed at the pool for a bit, then went home. I had a horrible headache. I think eating my first meal after 2 pm didn't help the matters much and the fact that it was so hot outside. Oh well lesson learned for sure. I did get to see Donovan doggie paddle. I am so proud of him. He was so proud of himself. Gosh I love that little boy.
Today Scott's sister Allison called him. Of course it is more family drama. I don't understand why his sisters always involve him. I am just tired of them. I am done, and I don't even want to write about it. Just ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Not much...Just a Friday
Today I have really done nothing. I finished another book. Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. I really liked this book. I am slowly getting to my goal of 30 books.
I went to the Gradebook Access class today. I am so glad I did. It will make it easy for when I go back to school. I dread school. I dread being back with adults who either gossip or back stab. I mean I am not sure how tolerant I can be for next year.
Donovan had Tball practice tonight. I think Austin's mom is taking him off the team because he was getting in trouble the whole time. I think it is to much pressure for her. I feel bad for her because I feel if Austin's dad was there it would be different. Donovan is too cute when he plays t ball.
Just another boring Friday.

Lazy Hazy Day
Today has been a lazy day. I was just not into doing anything. I keep thinking of that stupid song by Bruno Mars....."Today I don't feel like doing anything..." I am dreading that my summer is coming to an end.
Dieting this summer has been a bummer. I have not really gained but a pound here and there. I can't complain. I wish I could of seen a little more weight come off. I think when I get back to work I will have a better routine. I just have not done enough exercising. I wish I had. I really want to lose another 15 pounds. I can't wait till I get to that mark. I know I can do it and I will.
Donovan is a funny little one today. He came up to me and grabbed my cheeks. He said isn't that cute and squeezed my cheeks. What a cutie. Too bad tonight he busted his lip. He was jumping and I told him to stop. Well he tripped and fell on the coffee table. It scared the tar out of me. I am just glad it was only his lip that bleed.
Well I finished another book. One I have wanted to read for a while. However, I really didn't read it. I listen to it on CD. I am needing to read more books for my students. I hope to do a competition with my students. I am just not sure how but will get it done. I read/listened The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Book 1 by Ann Brashears. Loved it.
Broke down and called a friend today. Found out there was a comman thread of who caused the problem. Why am I not surprised. I know that I will be on my toes and not trust anyone when it comes to certain situations. I will have to pray that God shows me a way to handle this. I am not sure I will be able to if something doesn't intervine.
Another day down, but at least today went by slow. Now if it could do that for the rest of teh week.

Celebration
Today was a great day. I had lunch with JJ. He is an ex student of mine. He will be a senior this year. However, he informed me that he has committed to the Air Force Academy. I am so proud of him. He will do great. My only concern is that he will have to give 5 years to the Air Force. I consider JJ as a son. I will continue to pray for him. I know God will watch over him.
Donovan and I had a wonderful day. The boys were playful with Donovan that they tired him out. When we got home he passed out in the recliner. Unfortunately he slept way to long. So I am afraid we will be up for a while. I am hoping we can move Donovan from my bed to his bed. I just going to fall asleep with him in the bed. When school starts up he will have to be in bed by 9 pm. I am not sure how that is going to workout. I hope well.
I will be crafting this week. I finished my BEST for my classroom. I painted them maroon. Now I will place the words for each letter on them tomorrow. I will also paint my ABEL letters brown tomorrow and then scrap paper them. I can't wait to see what it turns out like. I want to get more that says READ 180. They are on sale at Hobby Lobby. I will have to see if I can do that this week and do more crafting. I wish I had my clipboards. I would love to work on scraping them, but oh well.
I need to finish the two books I have started. I have a book on CD. I know that is cheating, but I just want to hear books. I finished Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. Great book. It was very funny. I am not listening to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I have tried to read that book, but always get sidetracked that it never happens. So the next best thing is listening to it. I think I am going to listen to a lot of YA books. I might be able to review more that way.

Too much....Not ready
Oh my word. It has been a good while since I have blogged. I need to blog now. I have so much running through my head, that I am not sure how to handle it and God knows I will need a lot of prayer.
I have enjoyed my summer with my little one. Donovan can be a pain sometimes, but he is my pain, and I love him. We have just hung out. He is so much fun, and a great little kid.
Stephanie came home the Friday before last. It was so great seeing her. The last time I saw Stephanie was Easter when she came home. Donovan was so glad to have his sissy home. I don't blame him. I was glad to have them both home. We had a great time. We went swimming, and shopping. I love spending time with her. I wish she could of stayed longer, but she had to go home to get her wisdom teeth pulled out. I sent her home with my half of the payment.
Speaking of payment, I am a little pissed about this. The whole time I had custody of Stephanie I never asked her father for half of anything. I paid for everything myself. I am trying to figure out why he always has her call me for the half. I mean if he wants me to pay he should be asking me not having Stephanie ask me. I should not be upset, but I just wondering why he does that. He just makes me want to scream. I mean I don't go after him for what he owes me, and would not.
Now to the thing that will cause me a heart attack or stroke. WORK! Well found out that my new room is not ready. Of course that upsets me. However, I need to remember that is not my problem that is admins problem. Second I received our welcome back letter. Well besides 2 days of Quantum Learning before officially coming back then one more day. Really we need that many days of QL. I will have to bring things to do on those days. My second complaint is that after looking at the schedule I have only two days to get my room or whatever in order. I want to cry. I don't know how I am going to unpack and get things in order. I am not sure what I will need. I know the room is smaller. I wish I knew the dimensions of the room so I could figure out how to get everything in my room. Actually I am not even going to call it my room. I will call it my residence for what time I have left in teaching. I am noticing my negativity will only be towards adults right now.
As I look at everything in the last few years, I finally understand micro managing. I have also realized what you wish for is not always the best thing. The grass might look greener on the other side, but if you don't watch out you might get the shits.
I will start working on some crafts for my room. I have a few things I want to do, but not sure if I will have enough wall space for this. Oh well, I will figure out how to make things work.
Oh well enough on this. I am done for the night. I am going to cherish my time with Donovan.
