I just picked up tanner, he is in MDO one day a week...I really need to do two - but financially just can't right know!! Anyway, I got there today he was cutting playdoh - he said "Hi mom I playing playdoh" and just sat there like and Im gonna finish. hehe That was fine I had an opportunity to talk to the Teachers.
So I talked and they said tanner was so good, he sits in circle time - repeats his spanish, took a good nap...AND said please and thank you with out being prompted...that made me feel so good!! my little man, getting sooooo big!! I was so proud!! AND he didn't cry today!! this was the 4th day?? and only going once a week - so I was pretty happy with that!!
McKinlee is home too!! Reading again, I can't believe how well she is doing!! and I am also Happy to Report the PTA meeting this am wasn't horrible...I ha d a few points - and she really sounded like she was going to get her crap in order, and hopefully we are starting fresh! Im ready to be productive! thanks to all of you for listening to my huge ramble last night!

OOOooohhhHHH the Drama...
So, I was about to go to bed, but I am so dang stressed - i thought maybe a blog to get it all out would help...so here goes **prepare for a tad of a vent here**
Last year, we all know Mckinlee started Kindergarten - I was so excited to be involved in her school, my mom didn't have that opportunity with me. I really was looking forward to it! I decided to just a be a member, I mean elementary in our town is up to 6th grade and well then I have Tanner. I didn't make it to many meetings, since we had dance on the same nights as most of them....in March I got to help with the yearbook, and I was sooooo excited!! I was a HS editor and well, i just loved it!! I got all excited when we were going to a new school - a FRESH start...I wanted to do the yearbook and get more involved with PTA.
GOOD GRIEF what a freaking mistake...in the last 24 hours we have had 4 of our 6 members of the executive board RESIGN and NONE of them needed to!! the remaining ones seems to be the issue!! I am talking spending $$$ that wasn't voted on and approved..and we aren't talking 5 or 10 bucks, we are talking 6 or 7 HUNDRED...this is kinda my CHILD they are f-ing with...I am NOT happy!! part of me wants to say forget it...then part of me doesn't want her to screw it up this bad...we are having a meeting in the am, and i am NOT looking forward to it...FINALLY our principle is gettin involved, i am curious, nervous, pissed all in the same!! and I am not a confrontational person, so this will be interesting!!
ANy who...that has been my last few days, I have received about 30 emails a DAY on this crap...so im ready to slow it down!!!! we had company come over today, our Cousin Cindy and Austin, the boys have so much fun!! they line allllll of Tanners cars across the whole entire living room!! I think that boy needs more cars ... NOT!! then we went to CiCis for dinner - our 1st spirit night...which considering we are in such a rut I wasn't sure, but we went!!!
OH OH ... McKinlee has started her Reading folder, and ready a 144 page book in the last two days!! almost COMPLETELY by herself a few bigger words like considerate or stranger..but with a little guidance she did it!! Im so proud of her!! she had to read some of it to daddy tonight, and he had to sign her "log" too - BECAUSE if she gets 20 then she gets to eat w/ the teacher and that is a big deal to her!!
I think that is what is new in our crazy house...we are enjoying life, acting crazy and lovin' every minute of it!! see ya in the next day or so! :D

Wow, what an experiance..
Sorry for the short post last week...The other leader I was riding with called my cell phone...HELLO ... if you dont know me well, then let me tell ya- I *ONLY* answer that dang thang maybe 1/2 the time...hahaha
So anyway - we left friday after school to go to Bette Perot camp for Girl Scouts...We had several stops and finally got there about 7:30p just before dark - good too because it was SUPER dark there!! so we wonder around some, roast marshmallows for smores and head off to bed...the cabins sleep 8 and there was 6 of us and i was SO glad I had my sleeping bag with the fan on and windows open(no a/c) it was cool!!
Breakfast was at 7:15 - which wasn't to bad - no curtains the sun had us up!! french toast - yum although they ran outta eggs we got some of the last ones..hehe good thing we weren't late ;)
We were given a scavenger hunt to find places around the camp and then had horse riding at 10. Off we were, the girls were SUPER excited to get those holes punched at each location... then horse time came so we headed that way...after that crafts/lunch/swim/craft/dinner...we were B U S Y! ! ! ! ! Well the Pool or something gave me hives and so i got grouchy...we started to look for our LAST place on the scavenger...NOW we had looked for this place once already wondering about 10mins...so off we go again, we go to where we THINK it is and walk and walk and walk...then we get to a T...no signs and the light is getting dimmer...so we decide to forget it... Dang Alligator Pond. so we go to Flag Retiring and see the bon fire and sing songs and watch skits...mckinlee is super tired but wants to do the night hike...YEA RIGHT!! so she makes me walk about 5 mins up a hill, then decides well maybe i don't want to!! UGH but I wasn't gonna complain..so we went to the cabin get our stuff off to the "latrine" and then i realize my hives are YUCKY...but what can ya do...we go back to the cabin pack some and off to bed...
the next morning our breakfast wasn't until 9 am, but we have Kapar to sign up for(those are our chores) well we didnt realize we were signing up for a morning one...so we had to get there at 8am to "hide" the breakfasts - this was fun and the girls loved it...well during breakfast we find out...remember Alligator Pond?? well if we finish the hunt the girls get a special patch...we are soooooo close and the girls WANT to finish...and come to find out there is a GUIDED trail STEPS from our cabin - we never even SAW the sign...DANG IT..I mean we spent a good hour searching for it....mckinlee even had a nasty run in w/ a pointy vine that ended in tears...and bad momma was sooo tired I wouldn't/couldn't carry her which made it MUCH MUCH worse!!
On the GOOD side we found it!! and talked about IF there were alligators in it..??? we did find a blog saying it was...YIKES - we were REALLY close to that pond...but all ready to go it was very humid sun ... so we took a pic so they know we really did go..and off we went... DALLAS here we come... fun YES...do I want to go again, uuhhhmmmmm NO!!! well ok later...much MUCH MUUUUCH later!!
we got home and just lounged I was so tired and doped up on benedryl - mckinlee played she was ready to go after the car ride...but she was still in bed by 8!!
On a sadder note, chris's g-ma died Fri. we had the funeral today...I feel like such a horrible person, I think I met her twice...chris and I have been together 10 YEARS...married 8 and I can't say one thing about her really....this is his grandmother...well great. I felt like such a horrible great granddaughter in law...why didn't we make time for her...we new basically were she was...and then his Nanny was there today (nannys husband was this grandmothers son) anyway... Chris's granddad died on his 2nd bday...so nanny is alone, and only in garland...I feel so bad that we never have time to go over there...Life is short and you never know when someone will leave us...I pledge to myself that I will try MUCH harder to go visit!! I want my kids to know their family more than just a name. Sorry Nanny, we love you bunches!! Mamaw Reynolds - I am soo sorry I didn't get to know you better!! Im sorry that my kids never met your smiling face!
that will be my early new years resolution.... along with blogging to be able to look back on our life many many many years to come!! so someone call me in a few days, and say HELLO rena new blog please! because we have PTA, cici's night, school, girl scouts, work, life and other things that just keep me from thinking of it!
sorry this was long and if you read to here bless you!! you must be bored to pieces...what a true friend you are..LUV YA!!

This is New to me...
So, everyone is Blogging these days, huh? well I do want to be able to remind my kids when they are old about all the fun stuff did and the crazy things they put me through, SO what better then to copy all you smart ladies turning to the web!! So if I slack give me a swift kick in the hiney!! i may need it from time to time! So lets see...
Today, a boring day which isn't normal - Tanner and McKinlee both have allergies - so Jamie (my neice, whom i watch) came over and we just all chilled in our PJs until McKinlee came home from school - which was after 3:30 then I realized Oh shoot, we have Dance at 4:30 - so I rush to dress myself and Tanner, throw the hair in a pony tail (surprise, surprise) and off we go!! McKinlee and I have a whole conversation, while singing...Picture it, me:"How was you day" her:"fun we went to PE" me: "and what did you do" her: "ruuuunnnnn" *you should get the picture by now, don't ask - YES we are odd ;) * I get her there right on time and run some errons - Chelsea you would be proud, we went to Target :) hehe
Spend $$ we don't have (another surprise, surprise) pick up McKinlee and go home...some how i manage to talk her OUT of Mickey Ds and to come home and eat soup? Go Figure - we are all about saving $$ these days - to go shopping later of course!!
then Sharkboy and Lava girl was on, so we watched that - I DAM'd some and read some blogs and then I thought..hey what a good idea...so there you have it up to present time!!
so know im OFF to bed!! have a great night and day!
