Education of a kindergartner

So yesterday my five year old came home with homework, she had a book to read. Not having any other children I didn't know what really to expect. She said she needed to read me the book and I had to sign a paper showing she had. OK no problem I figured it would be the way her and I usually read a book, I read one line she reads it over to me. NOPE! I was wrong, she read the entire book with no help! Yes, I know at this age it is mostly memorization, but still my heart about jumped out of my chest. I had the worlds biggest grin and I felt like she was the smartest child in the world at that single moment. It was a awesome accomplishment. I even made her read it a second time for DAD.

We also went to the book fair yesterday, Paige got 3 new books. A Tinkerbell fairy book, a scooby-doo book, and a collection of short Disney princess stories 5 in 1 book. The scooby-doo and Tinkerbell books mom will have to read at 1st but the princess book she picked up like a charm, it will not be long before she will have that memorized so she can read it to mom, and dad.

10 Years! WoW how time flys.

I went to my 10yr class reunion this last weekend. Wow time does fly, it seems that just yesterday we were heading into the world to start figuring out who we were as adults and what we might become. Somethings have changed, otheres have remained the same in the last 10yrs.

Lifeis crazy

Well this week has been one of crazy. I dropped my first class ever, and I feel relieved and devastated all at the same time. I have never quit any thing and my life and this feels like a just gave up. I know that I have not I made a decision that best fit where my career and education goals were going. I did not want to barely skate by when this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. I have freed up a lot of my schedule to concentrate on my other studies. I even have a little bit of time to goof off on the computer.

A week in the day of Jackie

Well this week has been full of up's and DOWN's wow. So this week I have bombed a few test, but I do believe that I am on the upward spiral of this trend. I was "promoted"at work from a commission to a hourly position. But, after a much needed melt down and and a good 6-7 hrs of crying, lots of family support and I made it though. Today is the first day in months where I have had a non-stressed day at work. Where I was not worried about what I would be making and if I would be there the next month. I came to work did my job and enjoyed being there for the first time in a very long time. There were the few annoyingly nosey individuals, that tried digging for details, but I think that they have realized that DETAILS are not to be found. My less stressed day seemed to just follow in step with this trend, I went to class and I was right on with the chapter, I knew what I was doing and I was just rocking it out! What I thought was going to be the worst week ever seems to be folding into a distant memory!

The Wedding

Weddings they make you think about the blessed day that maybe you were married or the day that some wish they could forget ever happened. Whichever, Paige had the blessing of being in a friends wedding this last weekend, she was a flower girl and what a princess she was! You know what they say about the angels (they all have little horns underneath)

The wedding was wonderful, Summer Looked absolutely radiant and she could not have been more of a blushing bride, everything was right on schedule.

Paige and I even had some GOOD old fashion goofy fun at the Reception
