I can't help it. I'm addicted. I've got a problem. I know many others have been sucked in by its alluring lights and flashy lifestyle. Now it has me, too. I'm neglecting my schoolwork; I can't turn away. I love it. I love the way it makes me feel. I'm hooked. It's all about the Guitar Hero. I Rock!!
Peace Out,

I know that I posted not too long ago that I like change, but it seems that it is now biting me in the butt!! My husband has decided to separate from his business partner (He is a real big a-hole), and we are now faced with what this is going to do to our family. He hasn't decided what he's going to do yet. It may be a new business, or it may be that he goes back to working 9 to 5. The thing about the business is that it has always allowed for flexibility in our schedules. We don't have our kids in daycare, and we are both able to work productively while I continue my education. So I am facing the decision of whether or not to put my little man in daycare. I know millions of parents do it, and kids all over the world are just fine with it, but I really like being the source of my child's formative education and moral values. It's all so up in the air now, and I know it will work out...but for now, it's causing me to feel a bit nervous. We'll see!
On a different note, my sister in law is coming to stay with my husband and children while I am away in Houston. I have mixed feelings about this. She is obviously coming specifically at that time so that she doesn't have to see me (her plane gets in an hour after mine leaves) and leaving before I get back to stay with cousins, before she goes back to NJ. She doesn't have any kids and is pretty set in her ways. Okay...she's pretty mean. I'm the nice fun momma who balances everything out around here, so I'm concerned about my kids being subjected to a drill sergeant for four days. Argh!!! Not to mention, I don't like the fact that another woman is coming into my house and touching my stuff. Plus, she'll probably have a whole lot of opinions about how our house is set up. I'm still trying to think of something that I could leave laying around that will annoy her. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Peace Out,

So, here is the Super Surprise Birthday Party Extravaganza. I took my oldest, who is now 13, and four of his friends to Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was so much fun!!! It was kinda drizzly, and a weekday, so there wasn't really anyone there! We were able to walk onto most of the rides, and the kids were great!!! I have stories to tell about the day, but I have to skee-daddle. There will be more pictures to follow. I especially liked this one because (my son is next to Wonder Woman) all day, his friend (the third one from the left) kept telling my son, "dude, Wonder Woman was all up on you!" OMG! I thought I was gonna pee my pants!!! Teenage boys are so much fun. WOW-This is going to be interesting.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!! Everything is so busy here that I'm not quite sure what the heck I'm doing these days. I've picked up another class, work is hectic, and the boys have their own activities. My oldest is already out of school for his extended Spring Break and has been accompanying us to different activities. He sat in on my Brit Lit class on Thursday, which I'm really happy about. He got to see a different side to education. It was really fun for him and he said that he enjoyed it! He also went to volunteer at the big cat sanctuary with my sister, so he was able to see some really cool animals on the ranch. Tuesday is his "Super Secret Surprise Birthday Party Extravaganza". I'm not going to divulge any further details, but it is oh-so-awesome! Next Monday, the boys are going with my mom and sister to Disney's California Adventure. I know that will be fun! Anyway, this Spring Break promises to be full of good times!!!
Peace Out,

They picked me, yeah!!!! I get to go to the conference for college writing centers in Houston!! That sounds so nerdy. Oh well, I'm excited!!! I feel like such a grown up, going to a conference and all!!! I get to go with my bosses that I adore, and my co-worker/friend that I love. Oh, good times will be had by all! So...if anyone has any suggestions to share about where to go in Houston, please feel free to comment. I think we're required to eat steak while we're there, seeing as it's Texas and all! I'm threatening to wear my pink Cowboy hat, but I think it'll be obvious that I'm from California!;-) Maybe I'll buy a more inconspicuous one so that I might fit in!!! Anyway, it will be interesting cause my wonderful husband is going to be home alone with the boys for about four days. It's a first, and I'm really excited to see how that turns out. (Don't worry, I'm already in talks with the grands to make sure they get them a couple nights!!!)
Ooooh, this is going to be fun!!!
Peace Out,

Oh....the politics of the college education system!!!! I'm hoping to go to a conference in Houston next month. We'll see if it pans out...The politics in our little Writing Center can be quite ridiculous. I don't have much time to write about it all right now, but it's interesting, oh yes it is!!!!
Peace Out,

This was our day at Mount Laguna. We had to drive quite a bit to find a patch of snow to play in! I feel bad when I watch the news because I know there are many places across the country that are having bad weather, and we are complaining about a little rain every once in a while. If you'll notice in the picture, my husband was wearing shorts!!! Anyway, we had a great time sledding. The little man giggled the whole time he was sledding down the hill. It was great! After we were done, we went to the local mountain town that is famous for its apples and had caramel apples with candied walnuts. Delicious! Anyway...I don't miss the snow. i like our sunny San Diego weather!!!!
Peace Out,
Mom
