Here's hoping....

So I had to call the Assistant Principal at Hayden's school today to discuss a girl who has been bullying Hayden and her friends since the first grade. Why is it that when I have to talk to them I still feel like I'm a kid about to get in trouble? Talking to her last time didn't help, let's hope this time will. This is the same kid who told my daughter and her friends in first grade that she was going to "cut off their heads and bury their bodies". Nice thing for a 7 year old to say. She has now toned it down to mean comments and occasional smacks. The good news is that she hasn't hit Hayden....yet. Mama Bear may go a little ballistic if that were to happen. As it is I'm tired of my child being told they are stupid, ugly and dumb. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Slack, slack, slack

Okay, I just realized it has been almost a month since I posted!!

I missed Christmas and New Year's posts.

With that being said I know you all know how busy this time of year can be!!!!

I made a resolution to make sure that I blogged at least every other day. All I can say is that my other resolutions are hanging in there a lot better than that one!!! But I'm going to do my best to stay on it. Honest. I mean it. Seriously!

Friday night fun

First of all I have to say my Dad rocks!

A few Friday nights ago he and Mom gave us tickets to the Gladiators game (minor league hockey team in Gwinnett in case you're wondering). He then informed us that he had spoken with the team doctor who was going to give us a locker room tour after the game!!

The Glads lost the game but the girls thought it was so cool to go see the locker room (dubbed stinky by both girls), the med room (including a newly stitched Siddell), the equipment room and meet a few players. Needless to say as much as they love hockey (just like Daddy and Mommy) they LoVeD their tour!!

The only downside was not knowing who the players were out of their uniforms and having to look them up when we got home so we would know whose signatures we had!! Thank goodness they signed their numbers as well as their names!!

Thanks Dad and Mom for a fun-filled night for the 4 of us!!

Bonanza!!

We actually got 4 Christmas cards in the mail today!! Whoo hoo!! So excited! I love getting the cards and seeing all the pictures. I hope we get even more tomorrow!!

We have a winner!!

Finally!!

We have received the first Christmas card!!

And the winner is......... (drum roll please!)

The Archer Family!!

We received their card on Thursday and it now resides proudly at the top of our Christmas card tree. Alas and alack, the rest of the tree is bare! Maybe tomorrow will bring a huge onslaught of Christmas cards. And maybe I'll actually get the picture for ours taken so I can order ours since there is only 15 days left before Christmas!!! WOW!!

What is up?!?!

Still no Christmas cards!!

My mailbox mocks me with its emptiness!

My Christmas card tree mocks me with its emptiness!

So much emptiness!!! Where are the cards people?!?! We've hit December....maybe today?

Who will be the first?

Every year it's fun to see who we will receive the first Christmas Card from.

I can't wait to see who it is this year!

We've had 2 mailing days after Thanksgiving and I haven't gotten one yet!

Who will it be? Will it be you?
