I am a stay at home mom of four. I have two girls ages 12 and 3 and two boys who are 9 and 5. I have been (fairly) happily married to my high-school sweetheart, George, for thirteen years. We live in mild New Bern, North Carolina. Right now I'm very much enjoying staying at home with my little ones and trying to enjoy every minute of it. I'm a sometime writer with dreams of publishing novels, if I can ever get more than an hour to myself. I started this blog primarily to share the every-day happenings of life in my crazy house with family and friends. Feel free to read on if you are neither family nor friend, though. You might find it humorous, or you might just find it pathetic. You might even be able to relate.
On May 29th, Skylar was honored as one of the top 30 AR (Accelerated Reader) kids in her school. Those kids were taken out to breakfast at Golden Corral. With the AR program, kids read (age and reading level-appropriate books) and take a test on them. They earn points doing this throughout the year. Skylar ended up with 320.6 points, the 4th place reader in the entire school, which I thought was pretty awesome. Way to go, Sky! Here she is in the picture with her principal, Mr. Gatlin.
That evening, we had an awards night at BDQ. Bart and Drake filled up on cookies and punch and were way hyper. Drake must have eaten 10 cookies, but it kept him quiet to sit there and poke his finger in the icing and lick it off. It kept him quiet for about an hour. I remember the days when I swore to myself I wouldn't use sweets as an incentive for good behavior...
