My Mother's Daughter

Well....I guess hell froze over! I planted a garden. I am growing beans, cucumbers, carrots, watermelons, cantalope, honeydew, tomatoes, peppers, and squash.
.
.
I used to tell my Mom that hell would freeze over before I would get into gardening and yard work, so I guess hell has finally froze.
.
.
I am very excited about my new garden and I am sure I will be pushing my wares off on my friends and family any day now.

One Tatted Brina

Wow, another finished tattoo. Zach is right, I am one tatted Brina. I love this one. It completely covers my scars and is beautifully done by my good friend Donnie. I think I am having an "I'm almost 30" crisis. Is this normal??

Siminars???

As you all know I am pursuing a Masters Degree through University of Phoenix. One of our discussion questions was: Give examples of how research is used in your work place.
.
.
One of my peers answered as follows:
.
.

At my work place we have an abundance of researchresources. We as music teachers have several siminars, durning the year. At the siminars we would have at least thirty or up to fifty individuals.The more music teachers at the siminars,we can share a lot of info . Most of the timethere is a diverse amount of inputThis is a good thing it' like a win/win situation.

How did he get his Bachelor's Degree?

And can anyone define for me what a "Siminar" is!!

Training them Young

Speaking of being a proud Mommy, I forgot to tell you all that my 7 year old wanted to go to Wicked for her Birthday.

.

That was a very proud moment for me as I think all civilized children should be in love with the theater as much as I was when I was a kid.

.

She also wanted to go to a teppan restaurant, for chicken and rice.

.

I am pretty sure there is a 25 year old trapped in my 7 year old's body.

.

It was a great night!!!!!

They grow up TOO FAST!!!

When you give birth and you are in the midst of diaper changes and what seems like your millionth bottle for the day, you never really think about the day you will be sending your first child to kindergarten.

.

.

My first born child is in the final prepping stages for his journey to school, and I have to be honest, it is harder to send them into the big bad world than I thought it would be.

Brandon is finally mastering the writing of his name, and keeping the lower case letters below the dotted line. Incredibly his genius sister is not that far behind him.

I am one proud Mommy today!!!
