Today was Caleb's first basketball game. He did really good. I was really impressed with how well they all did. It was fun to watch him play. I get such a thrill watching my kids do things they enjoy.
I went to Wal-mart to do shopping by myself this afternoon. I got things for the goody bags for Caleb's party. I tried to get most of it sports oriented since his invitations had the Blues logo on them and his cake is going to have a hockey puck on it.
The rest of the day was pretty much just laundry and hanging out at home.

I am very glad it is Friday. Work went well today. We got our tests done that we needed to do. It was also Fun Friday at our school today. I hosted a movie this time. I showed "Horton Hears a Who." They seemed to really like it. I did not have but about 10 students in my room and they were really good for it. I am really glad they enjoyed it.
Tonight we ordered Caleb's cake for his party. We are getting it from Sam's. He decided on a hockey puck logo to have put on his cake. It'll have blue and white icing. He wanted a Blues logo, but they do not have copyright permissions for hockey teams.

Tonight was swimming night. Michaela and I were late again and I even made supper early tonight. I don't know why we cannot seem to get there on time lately. But, we were not as late as we have been.
It was a rigorous workout tonight. But, it was good. It felt good. I am very happy with the way it went.

It was a busy night tonight. I had to have Caleb at the Y for basketball by 5:15 for basketball practice. That was over at 6:00 p.m. I went to get something to eat and then headed to a camp planning meeting. We met tonight to start planning our neighborhood camp for this August. It is going to be a western theme. We seemed to get some good ideas down tonight. I think we'll be able to get it all planned out really well. It seems to be going good for us so far.
It snowed earlier today. We had these HUGE snowflakes. Michael texted me saying they were having white gerbils falling from the sky. It was really pretty while it lasted. Now, it seems all the roads are getting really slick and icy.

I did not sleep last night. I have been so tired all day because of it. I am going to shower early tonight and go to bed early.

It was a really good night at home, once we got past homework. Caleb was a BEAR to do homework with tonight. It was not a pretty sight. But, we got it done and he did it right even if it killed me.
After supper, I played Wii football with Caleb. It was more fun than I thought it would be. I am not going to race down there and play it every night, but I enjoyed it. I liked being on defense. I sacked the quarter back about 6 times.
When we finished with the football, I turned on my Wii Fit. I clocked 30 minutes on that. I did some aerobics, yoga and balance training. I love the Yoga. I can really feel it working my muscles.

Eight years ago today my 9lb 1oz. Buddha baby boy was born. He came into this world at 9:13 a.m. I cannot believe my baby is 8 years old already. He's so amazing to me. Every time I look at him I cannot believe that I have been so blessed with him and his sister.
We started the day by going to church. After church we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Caleb wanted to go there for his birthday. Michael's parents went with us. It was nice to have them with us. I know Caleb was thrilled that his grandparents went to Chuck E. Cheese. He opened his gifts from them. They gave him a Transformer and NHL Hockey game for Wii. We were there until about 1:30 p.m.
When we came home Caleb opened his gifts from us. He was very happy with them all especially the Madden Wii game. He spent most of the afternoon playing his two new Wii games. I did laundry and messed around with pictures. Michaela spent quiet time in her room. I think she was tired from her sleep over. Michael worked on things outside.
This evening we went to Pasta House for supper. When, we got home from there I played Wii with the kids until it was time for them to go to bed. Now, I am watching some LOST season 3. In a little while I'm going to shower and go to bed. I am going to have to get up and go to work in the morning.

Today was a really good day for me. It started out with me getting to have breakfast with an old friend I graduated with. I really enjoyed her company. I felt very honored that she wanted to spend that time with me and that we got to have the conversation we had. It really did mean a lot to me. I hope our conversation was meaningful to her, too. We spent 2 1/2 hours talking and I could not believe we'd sat there that long. It went by so fast.
After I left the restaurant, I went and did some shopping. I had to buy Caleb's birthday gifts. I got him a Blues sweat jacket, a box of Matchbox cars, a Monster truck crash up arena thing and Madden 10 for Wii.
When I got home I did some laundry. I also wrapped Caleb's presents. His Wii game got wrapped four times. I'm going to make him unwrap that one last. It's going to be fun to watch him have to unwrap it four times before he gets to see what it is. He's been wanting that game for quite a while now.
This evening, Michaela went to Anikca's for a sleep over. My mom and Griff came over here to watch Caleb. And, Michael and I went to the Blues Game with Vicky and David. Vicky got the tickets from her boss. She had a parking pass, too, so we got to park in the parking garage attached to the arena. But, that wasn't the coolest part. The tickets were club seat tickets. We got to sit in the area where they serve you food and drinks for free up until the last 12 minutes of the game. That was too cool! I've never gotten to sit in seats like that anywhere. I loved it!
The whole day was just really great!

I did not go to work today. I really felt bad this morning and knew I would not be able function at work today. My stomach was messed up half the day and then I had a horrible headache that was causing spots in front of my eyes.
I did go up to Caleb's school to take his homework folder to him. I also left a message for his teacher to call me. Caleb has been struggling with a few things at school and I just need some more help in knowing how/what to help him with at home.
Caleb's teacher called me early in the afternoon. We had a long talk and she gave me some ideas. I feel better after talking to her. I am going to call her again in about a week and we'll talk again. I am hoping to get a meeting with her, the reading teacher and the counselor sometime soon.
This evening I took some Excedrin Migraine and was able to get my headache pain down enough so we could go out for a little while. We went to Hatfield's and McCoy's for supper. It's been a while since we were there. One of the owners was seating people. We've been going there since we were dating and they recognize us. It's kind of cool. We've been through all of the stages of our relationship there.
After that we went to Toys R Us to look at bicycles. That is one of Caleb's birthday presents. He looked at some and decided he wanted to look at Wal-mart before he made a decision. So we went to Wal-mart and he looked at some there. He decided he wanted one of the ones at Toys R Us, so we went back there. He picked out the bike he wanted and a new helmet because his old one is too small.
Tomorrow I will have to buy him a few other things so he has something to unwrap on his birthday. I cannot believe he is going to be 8 already.

Today was a MUCH better day at work. Things went so much smoother and the kids were a lot more focused. It just feels like it was a much more productive day. I left feeling like we'd actually accomplished some things. Plus, a student that has been struggling is really showing signs of making progress.
Tonight was swimming night. I was a little tired before we went, but did not feel as bad as the last couple weeks. It was a great work out tonight. I could really feel like something was happening with my muscles.
I am now feeling a good sleepy and think I'm going to have a pretty good night's sleep.
