This is my little Lost Boy. I took the picture with my cell phone, so it's crappy but oh well. She performs tomorrow afternoon and is very excited about it.
I'm so proud of her!!!!

Let There Be Light
Finally! The tree is up! The full tree and all it's wonderful decorations. We do colorful, blinking lights, garland and a TON (repeat...TON) of various decorations. Almost all are made by one of the children through the years (and with my oldest almost 18, that's a lot of years), gifts given to one of us, ones that I have bought, ones that I made when I was pregnant with one of them, etc. etc. etc. We have a hodgepodge of decorations and I love it. My 14 yo son and (almost) 10 yo daughter are decorating it, their favorite part. Oh and sorry for the picture quality, it was taken with my phone...but you all get the gist, right?
Yup, my daughter is in her leotard and tights still...LOL. She had her Peter Pan Ballet auditions today. We could actually watch the audition, which is unusual. Not everyone will be cast, so, it's kind of exciting. There were 41 children her age there, I think 30 max will be cast. She was one of 6 that were asked to stay after auditions and show them a tumbling trick. So, that was neat.
We were suppose to go to my company's christmas party last night. It snowed all day yesterday (surprise, surprise) and all the kids were here last night, my oldest didn't have to work and my step-son was here, plus one of their friends. We had a full house. It was such a fun, cozy night, I didn't feel like leaving. My daughter and I watched movies, my husband played his computer game (SHOCKER!) and the boys played Halo3 and had a great time. We ordered in chinese and stayed all snug as bug in a rug last night and it was worth it!
And tomorrow, back to work and start the week all over again...

Let us Rejoice...
Today was an excellent day... it got above freezing and all (yes I said ALL) of the ice is off of my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah and praise God! Oh and I didn't cry once today :)
As I was driving down the interstate today, CHUNKS of ice is flying off my car. You first hear a little crack and then a whoosh. At first, I thought an alien had landed on my roof or something… but I thought… NO, that can’t be. Then I figured it out (when I looked in my rearview mirror and saw flying chunks of ice). What a fun day!
The temperature gauge I have in my car read 37 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!! I was ready to get my shorts and flip flops back out. Tomorrow’s high - 20. *sigh* Which means, we will have ‘black ice’. Where stuff has melted but you can’t tell it’s melted and then froze back over… fun stuff! But that doesn’t matter because today it was 37.
In other non-weather related news: (which these days are few and far between, believe me. The kids wake up everyday now asking if school is cancelled. Um, ONE day doesn’t constitute everyday folks.) My son gave his senior presentation yesterday and got an A. YIPEE!!! I think he just might pull this off and graduate. (Really he’s a good student I just like to joke like that.)
I have my yearly meeting with my middle son’s teachers tomorrow to discuss the plan for the next year. He has problems reading and we plot an action plan each year. He has blown away his goals for this year, so I am hoping we can up the ante a bit.
My daughter was hysterical today after school. She got reprimanded by her teacher today (which this teacher is a GREAT teacher, my middle son had her and loved her and my daughter loves her too), she didn’t get a piece of homework done, which is not like her, and she was just devastated that she got in trouble and I had to sign the paper that stated she got in trouble and you would of thought the world was coming to an end. I guess this is better than when my middle son did this and he was like, “whatever”. At least she cares…. But a bit too much!
In Ballet News: (seriously who else could write that…lol). My daughter is trying out for another professional ballet on Sunday. This is with the other professional dance company in town, I am nervous for her but she is really excited… cuz I don’t let on I am nervous, I just keep it all bundled tightly up inside and then spill it on my blog! So, she never knows :)
And that’s all folks……
