wow.

Okay, why am I awake right now... can't answer that one. It has been a wierd week. I need to be exercising, but I don't want to. HMMM, great attitude, right?
I missed my classes this morning to go work on my special ed. class... Thank goodness they are helping me. I miss class tomorrow afternoon to have a special ed meeting. Then, on Friday we go to St. Louis.
We found out today that Luke doesn't want to go camping for his birthday. I invited the fam over for cake on the 25th. I can't believe that my boy is turning 16! How old am I??? Where does the time go????? WOW>
So, this week has had its ups and downs. Cheer drama...why can't there just be none. You know in a perfect world, they would come, work out, cheer, practice and everyone would do what they are supposed to and not fuss. Of course, this isn't a perfect world. LOL!!!
I find that I do dwell on the negative a tadbit. HA, just a tad, right?? But really I can't stand it. I wish I could be one of those people who paste on a smile everyday and just roll with it, but I can't. I call myself a realist, others might use a word that starts with a B.... but really, wouldn't life just be so much simpler if everything was just ROSY? But hey, what would we have to gripe about?!?!
I know none of that just made any sense at all... but for those of you living in my little public school world right now, maybe you understand.
I think maybe I worry too much. (gee, I have never heard that before!) But really, at the end of the day I have to be a peace with what I do and I think that involves giving it 100%.
Anywho, what a random post. I guess, maybe these random thoughts are why I can't sleep....

Gager is going to be a skeleton pirate for Halloween. Don't ask what that is...but it is something. Luke wants to go to some party. Oh lord, let the good times roll....

I will post pictures soon...I promise.
Peace and Love.. Jamie Bunting

is it summer yet?

IT has been forever since I posted. I actually got on to put up a picture, but realized I am on the wrong lap top... (we have 2 laptops and then Luke's computer..) Typical of me lately.
Things are crazy. Cheer has been good til this past week.....Oh well, those of you that coach cheer probably know what I am talking about... It is week 3 of the season...Hmmm.. The girls are pretty good. They get a little sloppy when they aren't focused.. those are just bad habits.
Gager "peed in the potty" for the first time today...I am a bad momma letting them potty train for me...
Luke is getting antsy about driving..seems he has a new love interest...It is so funny to watch them go from one girl to the next and of course claim it is "LOVE"...
School is okay. Sped is a different field. My online class is kicking my butt, but I am hanging in there.
Went to D town and saw the girls cheer. They looked good, but it made me feel old...Where does the time go...? Held Paige's baby. HE is a cutie.
Oh well, going to Chicago this weekend for B's reintegration class...it is mandatory. I would say I will enjoy the break, but I think I will be doing lots of homework.
Peace and love and chocolate..
LOL Jamie

only a few days left..

okay, it is official. I am stressed. School starts next week and my cheerleaders perform the first tme on Thursday. Yikes there are not enough hours in a day... My class is almost complete, but I have to get my IEP's and hand those out. And then I have to plan for next week... and on an on and on. I have such a long to do list..

Then in PG there are all these things that are always done, but nobody contacts you about to explain...Big time example is some clolthesline fair busines... Oh well. I will figure it out eventually.

My girls looked great at cheer camp and I hope they stick it at black and gold game....

For you cheer lingo people... they are dong a cheer w/ backhandspring load ins, kickstand out, preps to extention to prep full downs...then they chant and do a dance and do a ticktock then turn out and hitch..

WOW. pretty good for their first show.

Oh wel, Luke is at mom's for a few days, he has open house Monday. Gager has been sick. Hopeflly he is on the mend...
B is doing great.

Good luck next week to all my educational friends. love ya, JB

more...

Hey... Okay, So we went to get Bryan at Shelby and then to New Orleans...Nobody was impressed much with New Orleans, so after the aquarium we left a day early and went to Destin. The boys seemed to have fun just hanging out. They met some young ladies from Louisiana and we saw very little of them..LOL B went parasailing and seemed to enjoy that. Gager loved the ocean and the waves. He would have been all over the placehad we let him. Then we headed home. Since we have been home we had a family cookout..Note the wonderful cake from Rick's bakery... I have been having cheer and taking ANOTHER class. B went back to work this week. We bought Luke a blazer. It is used, but I think it is a cool first car...He leaves to go to Dallas tomorrow. While he is there he will go to a baseball camp at texas tech. Gage is growing like a weed. He is saying abc's and counting (even in spanish) a little. He is funny and is loving having his daddy home...

Hope all is well with everyone... I posted a few of my fav pics... Enjoy!

I can't believe it has been a month...WoW

Hey Hey Hey

just a quick update. I leave Sunday to go to mom and dad's. Then Monday I am heading to Camp Shelby to get B. We will leave there and head to New Orleans and Destin on the fourth. I am excited... my soldier boy is coming home...j

Fun in the sun

I took the boys to take pics this weekend at the battlefield in prairie grove. We willhave to go back again to look around. It seemed pretty nice.

I have been working at Vista and with my cheerleaders. They are a fun group of girls. So far, so good...

Luke is done with school. His schedule is tough next year.... needless to say he is loaded... pre ap physical science, AP Us History, spanish, speech, Pre Ap Alg 2, Pre AP English, and then baseball at semester. He was also in Anatomy and Physiology, but we got him switched to East... he has been driving more lately and is getting better.

Gage is just a hoot. He has a sock monkey that B sent him named "boots". This weekend, he has boots sitting at the table, feeding him... then he had to put him in bed for night,,night... last time I checked boots was at the table reading.... he is something else... he like to swing with Luke pushing him...

Oh well, two more days of Vista school....then freedom...

22 days and counting for Bryan... Yippee..

take care, JB
