I am a Christian, I am a wife and mother and am a public middle school teacher of math and gifted education. My Blog, "What's My Deal?" is just day to day ramblings. My other Blog, "All About the Fish" is more like a personal webpage about my Christian experiences.

Okay, Here's My Deal...

I spent some girl time with my mom earlier this week. And, I spent some money...yes, we went to a casino. She had an eye doctor appointment and we centered the trip to the casino around that. It was nice to get away. I went with some money and came back with 83% of it left. I thought that was pretty good. I am glad that my mom was able to get away from the house, too, and not just for groceries or to get the mail. She needs that now more than ever.

Mouths of Babes

Okay, Here's My Deal...

Tonight I was in the kitchen cooking supper when my 4 year old appeared at the baby gate and siad, "Hi, Mama!" "Hi, buddy. What ya doing?" "Just coming in here to check on you." "Oh, good." "Just seeing if the kitchen's on fire." "You are coming to see if I am okay and if the kitchen is on fire? Well, that is nice." "It's okay, Mama, there's no fire." "Glad to hear that."

Now, in my defense, I have not caught any food on fire--at least, not since he has been born........

It is About Time

Okay, Here's My Deal...
Haven't made much time to write on here lately. Why? It is called Facebook. That is right--I am crazy with it. I actually like it better than MySpace. I think it is much more user friendly.
Other than that, summer has been going pretty well. I am enjoying my time with my boys. They have not gone to the sitter much at all. Maybe once a week the youngest will go so that I have some time just with the oldest. And, then if I have some things to that is easier without the boys, they both go for part of a day.
Life without my dad is going okay...I guess. It is hard, but I can't wallow in sadness all of the time. My mom seems to be adjusting. She has her moments like we all do. My brother is having a difficult time--but there are also other factors adding to that--I just keep praying for everything.
Nothing really WOW pops out at me that has been blogworthy lately...cute moments with the boys, but no real milestones or funny moments that I can think of right now.

Cheese!

Okay, Here's My Deal...

Tonight we had family pictures taken...at a studio. The first time since our second was born. Luckily, both boys had a nap today and they were happy. The lady did a good job of making them smile, too. Good props...our youngest especially liked the stuffed Dr. Suess character--I think it was Thing 1 or Thing 2. We will pick them up in about 3 weeks. I can't wait. We have been talking aobut pictures for a long time and we just found a deal we couldn't pass up.

There has been a lot more to post about, just have not had or made the time. Will try to get more done in the future. (I blame Facebook...)
