Let's see, what the hell did I write about?

Life is good, I can't complain. Well, I can complain but who the hell wants to listen to that? The house and home improvements are coming along, slowly, but surely. That rainstorm we had last Friday (the 15th) really threw a big old monkey wrench in our plans. Luckily, we only had to dedicate about two weekends of work in order to rectify the problems. We did lose the motor on our pool pump which sucks because we can't close the pool without it. Of course, there are no pumps available in our area so we will have to purchase a new one (of course!) online. We were initially thinking "Just screw it" and closing the pool anyway. But I knew that in the spring, Husband and I would be pissed we didn't close the pool properly.

The girls are doing well in school. Youngestloves first grade and is doing very well in her reading levels. [Mommy Bragging Ahead] She's at the top of the class in reading and math! [/brag] I'm so pleased that she's really picked up a love for reading. Husband and I were pretty concerned about it last year because she was so obsessed with her GameBoy. But, once we really got her some books that she was interested in reading, BOOM! Her reading and comprehension levels are just fantastic.

Eldest, well, she's just realizing how much more difficult fifth grade is compared to fourth grade. Poor kid, nothing like a little reality check. She gets a decent amount of homework and, even though it takes her some time because she fusses over it, she does complete it. She does like both her teachers and I am very happy that both of the teachers don't put up with any nonsense. Forgot your homework? Lunch detention. Forget it three times? After school detention. Needless to say, Eldest gets her work finished! I think if she got detention, she would lose her mind. LOL.

There's quite a few medical issues going on within my extended families. Any spare thoughts/prayers would truly be appreciated.

I guess I am going to wrap this up for now. Have a great day..
