Unwinding...

After what was a wonderful weekend.....it always takes me a day to get back into the groove of the week! (that's what Mondays are for) This week is a little shorter then most, Stella has Friday off! Woo-hoo! I'm taking the day off from work as well so we can have a fun day off together before she heads to dads in the afternoon for the weekend. This week seems to be slipping away already... it's Connors birthday on Friday and there is still a lot to get done before the big fiesta! Oh and Thursday to top it all off we have teacher / parent conferences at Stella's school. I just got her report card yesterday and she had straight B's across the board...not bad BUT there's always room for improvement and I look forward to meeting with her teacher about it. Stella has been struggling a bit with reading and I feel like we are stuck in a rut spinning our wheels at this point...I'm hoping that on Thursday Stella's teacher will have some suggestions and or I'm hoping that if we stick with it long enough we'll have a break though. We read every night and it seems that she should be progressing a little more then she has been, it's not that she has gotten worse it's just she hasn't gotten better. All her other subjects she seems to be excelling in. Hmmmm I think back to when I was a kid and reading was something I always excelled at but then again I had to go to summer school one year because I was TERRIBLE at math.
I know Stella will eventually come around, it's just a matter of time but as her mama it's always hard to see your kiddo struggling at something. Patients, patients, patients and a lot of reading.

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

break #1....

Six weeks.....that's how long she has to have this thing on. It didn't happen playing pond hockey, it didn't happen skiing, it happen tripping down the sidewalk. I mean....REALLY!?!?! Much Love!

2013.......

Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  What a spectacular, awesome, fantastic year. SO much to be thankful for but looking ahead I'm ready to kick some booty in 2014.  We got the chance to spend the holidays with family and I hope you all got to do the same! We've been on the go-go-go schedule so it was nice to slow things down a bit and enjoy each others company. I feel like there is so much to catch up on in the last few weeks but it seems like it's best to just move forward!!! Lots to look forward to in the next few weeks of the new year, Stella has her first race coming up this weekend, a race the following weekend and to add to the mix I have two of our largest shows of the year coming up for work. Flying by the seat of our pants..........Woot! Christmas Day skiing has turned into one of my most favorite family traditions!!   ....and of course Christmas Eve with the family is always great too!!!! It's so rare that we end up at the same mountain (not on a race ...
