xy = x (y) .....and this is my life

I've been negligent of my blog. In my defence it hasn't been purposeful but the natural consequence of a busy Mom. =)

So, for my own documentation, I'm going to type my schedule for this term down.

Monday & Wednesday**5.40-up, dressed and face washed. 5.50-6.15Coffee poured, Bible read and prayed. 6.20 sandwiches started and laundry or dishes started. 6.30-kids up. 6.40-kiss Ben bye. 6.55-kids eating and sandwiches completed. 7.05-my breakfast. 7.15-start Pesorita so she's warm for the drive. 7.28- on the road to the kids school. 7.45-kids to school and on my way to my campus. 8.15-at campus and studying. 9-11.20-algebra. 11.20-1-homework and lunch. 1-2.50English lit. then leave to get kids by 3.30. 3.55-home. Then the kids complete their homework, Ben gets home and we eat dinner. Essy usually has more homework after dinner then it's beddy-bye for the kids! Then Ben and I finish up some of our homework and hit the hay.

Tuesday & Thursday** The only portion that changes is that instead of going to my campus I run at the kids school. Then study or work for Nana. Thursday is no homework night and we watch a movie.

Friday**The Lewis Quartet don't have school (hip-hip-hooray!) but they do need to complete their week-end homework (as do I if I have any left). This is the day I complete a weight work out.

Saturday**PLAY DAY!!!! YAY!!!! Then we finish homework and Ben and I complete our 'big'
run (it's been at least 10 mi. these days).

Sunday**Church and ball games and getting ready for Monday.....=)

Running has been okay. I've been battling lower back, hip and knee pain. That's been difficult to push through but even with all that pain I completed 12 miles (11.70 min. miles). YAY!

My instructors are hilarious. I find myself baffled that I am often the only one who laughs out loud in class. Then that makes me even more giddy and it's even more difficult not to laugh. BOTHER! I'm glad I get the jokes. Maybe the classes are too early/late for the others to get it??? Who knows!

And this, Folks, is my life!

In the Life of the Girl

As of this very moment I should be completing homework AND since The Four stayed home sick from school I have their movie (we normally don't switch on the T.V. during the school week) to distract me. With a movie comes the need of popcorn. Which I was just reminded, by One of Them, that I haven't made......

And she's back!

These next few photos are just snap shots of the way My Girl lives (aside from all the hard work she completes) over the course of several weeks. I was amused by the sight of them and I just had to share (and document =).

Her Battle of the Books (BOB) war paint.

They nearly won too! Her grade ran out

of guesses (AND the timer was off. This led

to the question "Would her grade have won

if the timer would have rung earlier?" We'll

never know.

Samuel buttoning up her dress-up dress.

Awwww!

This was a separate day from the previous

Barbie photo. She was displaying them???

Oh yeah. I made a mistake and cut my bangs SUPER DUPER short. I thought I'd try out the 50-60's style....I guess I'm just a hippy at heart. =D
