Still here

I'm still here and still planning on updating my blog, still have DC pictures to post. Just been too plain busy to get to it. End of the school year craziness, plus my mother in law has been in the hospital for a week. So don't forget about me readers, I plan on an extensive post later this week.

Frustrated

There are bunch of things I am totally frustrated with right now. Let's name them, Hannah's grades, Hannah's math teacher, Justin's grades, my PINK EYE again, kids at my school, the weather.......... I could go on!

I hate this time of the year as a teacher, the kids don't want to be in school and since we are just finishing up standardized testing they know there is no point left to school anymore. Plus on top of this Hannah and Justin have basically just stopped doing homework altogether. My eye is pink AGAIN, 4th time in a year!! I have a huge sty and my top eyelid is swollen, red, and crusty plus it is really painful. I am going to the eye doctor tomorrow afternoon but not sure if I can put up with the pain much longer. Starting to worry that I have some kind of underlying problem.

Oh and Happy Easter!! ugh!

More from our trip

These photos are all from Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, VA. The home and the grounds surrounding it were very beautiful, it's in the foothills of the mountains in a very picturesque area. On the day we were there it was a bit rainy.

I was very impressed with how brilliant Jefferson was, he not only was a prolific author but an inventor as well. Unfortunately no photots are allowed inside the home but there are some interesting rooms and stories that are told during the tour. Monitcello is also on the nickel as is Jefferson's profile. This was just another part of our wonderful trip. Still more to come, the war memorials, and the Louisville Slugger Musuem.

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Am I a totally terrible mother because I wish that my youngest son no longer believed in the Easter bunny and I didn't have to fool with baskets and hiding eggs and dyeing eggs and filling eggs.....?

At Christmas time I kept thinking this will probably be the last year that Adam believes so I need to treasure it, now come Easter I am wishing that he already knew the truth. WHY?? I can't put my finger on it, maybe work related stress, end of the school year related stress, family stress, STRESS!! Could that be the answer?

Off to go fill, hide, dye eggs!
