The Round up
Its been a busy week, lots of work and changes on the horizon YAY!
We had a kids Costume Party for Halloween and the kids had a blast, they dress up as the "Four Provenses" from "Narnia". Claire stayed up late into the night sewing their outfits and they looked awesome!!
EVan, Ella and Emmer are doing super well in their Bi-lingual school and are picking up Spanish really fast! Evan had an assignment from school to write a 250 page Essay on "Dia de los Muertos" aka "Mexico's Day of the Dead" celbration and he did really well and managed to write the first 150 word with NO HELP & he finished with an A+..I was so impressed!
We are off to Celebrate Cousin Dean's Birthday as well as our Dear Friend Jules! Pictures coming soon...until then

The 72 hour flu
Over the past week we have had this nasty little flu going around, as "Murphy's law" would have it, one of my nephews came down with it only One night after Darren and Claire left on their cruise..
The kids were not the only ones who were effected, many of my friends, piers and co-workers came down with it too. Apparently it actually hits the adults pretty hard, and basically works as a detox....of everything..
One day while eating lunch Phil walks in, I asked him how he was feeling and he says " Not that great, this flu is a real wipe out, I lost 7 pounds so far"--A few minuites latter in walks Emi, when asked how she was feeling responds, "Umm not that great, this flu is pretty nasty, but on the bright side, I have lost a little weight!!"
So there you have it "Mars and Venus Versus the 72 hour flu"---you gotta love it!
T.G.I.F All's Ya'All's

I am baby sitting my neices and nephews for the next 10 day while their parents Darren and Claire take an extended well deserved time off..they are also celebrating their 10th anniversary so cheers to them for making it through 10 years and here is to many more...
So far so good, although today was pretty packed..Fourth grade Spanish Vocabulary home work is a bit intense at times..Today consisted of waking up at 5:45 am getting the kids up at 6 am, making breakfast small Devotions and off to school, brought them home then off to help a friend take her little one to the red cross...got back and took the kids to a birthday party--brought them home, fed them dinner, finished the Laundry--I washed all the Uniforms and P.E clothes too and they are hanging to dry--Kids are settling into bed and now I am off to find a glass of wine and chill for a bit..There is NO school tomorrow whew!

Barney and Friends
Thursday morning I got a call from "Barney and Friends" asking if they could hire me again...a little background on this: I was hired by "Barney and Friends" about 4 years ago as a Balloon Artist, when they were filming one of their Barney Movies. I think the title of the movie was "Barney goes to the Carnival" or something like that..SO I did all their ballon Art and help out backstage a bit, it was pretty fun!
Anyways, I called them back, and found out they are filming another Movie in Dallas and wanted to hire me again..So I told them I moved to San Diego and if / when they are out here to give me a call..apparently they do a lot of their filming out in the California area...so I gave them my new number, I guess we will see how it goes..

From Workouts to Jogging
All my adult life (ages 20 +) I have enjoyed working out, well let me rephrase that..
I can't say I honestly always enjoy it, there are days or dare I say weeks where it is all I can do to psyche myself up, and then I drag myself through it..Lately I have been trying a new approach and mixing things up a bit, and in the process I have actually gotten really into jogging...Its pretty amazing as it's one of those things I thought I would never enjoy doing..Phil M. came up with a pretty grueling 5 mile loop, which we have termed our "Mini Curahee" as its got a pretty decent steep hill...and he was talking about it one day in the kitchen so I thought I would give it a try..To my surprise I actually really enjoyed it, and while I can't actually jog the whole thing yet I am working up to it and am starting to get addicted to the "Runners high". I hit a new record today of jogging it in 55 minuites in the heat of the afternoon and this makes me happy...
