Y HALO THAR FEBRUARY!!!

1. So far 2010 is kicking the bum of 2009 all over the place. This proves my own personal theory that even numbered years are typically better than odd numbered years.

2. Some sort of crazy pandemic swept through the two 4 yr old classes at preschool. I was out Monday and Tuesday myself. The two classes averaged 3-5 kids each day. On Friday I had a grand total of ONE child in my class. (Of course, he was the one who requires the most attention, but it was a lot of fun to work with him one-on-one, and he loved it.) We had kiddos out with the flu, bronchitis, stomach viruses- you name it, they had. I went through a whole can of Lysol.

3. The girls continue to work their little hearts out singing and dancing in preparation for OZ. Practices are up to four days a week now, including Saturday. Oy vey.

4. Valentine parties are NEXT WEEK. Umm, what?

5. Madeline went to New Beginnings last week. She was invited as an up-and-coming Beehive this year. UMM, WHAT!!??!??!?

6. *looks in the living room*
No worries, yet. She and her sister and currently playing with a bumch of Fisher Price Little People I brought home from school today. I guess she's not all grown up *yet*.

7. I've had to buy highlighters in order to color-code my planner just so I can keep up with schedules/activites of four different people. *shakes head* When did I become this person? Doesn't the world realize I LIKE being in my jammies by 6:30pm? Sheesh.

8. I've decided that there are three specific bills I want to pay off before the end of the school year, and if I do, then I will give myself permission to buy a digital SLR camera. My pocket digital only takes so-so pictures, and I miss the clarity that SLR pictures have. Any suggestions on what to buy are appreciated. As are donations. ;) (I prefer Canon brand, since I already have some Canon lens from my regular SLR.)

9. I am VERY excited that the Winter Olympics start next week. Please do yourself a favor and watch Johnny Weir skate to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face". There are no words to describe the experience.



See? Even Dick Button is speechless!

10. Holy cow! It's 6:47- JAMMIE TIME!

I had seen the performance last week at the championships. i knew who Johnny and Lady Gaga were. I may not get out much but I stay informed.

Great skating! It would have been even better with pairs. Anyway, I totally hear you about the jammies. I unilaterally decided last night that my children would never do competitive cheerleading based on the fact that one of the practice times is 8 pm. :-)

2010 really has started out with some craziness for us too. Too much in fact.

Anyway, I love my Canon DSLR. I just have one of their lowest end models (a Rebel XSI) but compared to my point and shoot it takes amazing photographs. I will be looking forward to some amazing photographs from you once you get yours!!!!

Definitely some sickness going around it made it our school at the end of the week. We had it this weekend. All I can say about the planning is welcome to my crazy world. I do try to be home before 6 though.
