Presidential Debates

Tonight is the first Presidential debate between Obama and Romney.  They both seem to be saying the same thing...I know they are saying different things, but both go round and round without saying much. Today was kind of hard.  I had a couple of kids who were rude in class...99.9% of the students are the best.  I hate that the one or two kids who talk back, talk while you are talking, roll their eyes, take my energy away from the others who are respectful and do the right thing. 

I am teaching Aggregate Expenditures Approach- Average Propensity to Consume, Marginal Propensity to Save....etc...pretty dry stuff...I have decided that tomorrow to review the concepts the kids are going to perform short skits representing different topics.  It should be interesting to see how these bright students make the dry material interesting and memorable:)

After school Christa and I met our friend Diana for dinner at Beck's Prime by my school...I love that place!!! I had the best salad:)  I came home to 2 smiling girls, a smiling husband, and a smiling dog...life is good....great in fact!!!

Life is Precious....

Life is so precious.  A sweet girl I graduated from high school with lost her husband yesterday.  He was killed in a car wreck.  They have five small children....I can't even imagine.

Today started early...up at 4:30, then to work out with my trainer at 5...great workout!!! He makes me use machines and equipment I would never use.  He is worth every penny!  School was good.  I picked the girls up and then we came home and tinkered around.  Dave got home late because he had to go get fitted for a tux.  He is in a wedding in November. 

The weather has started to feel chilly...I LOVE IT!!!!!

Sunday:)

Today was an uneventful Sunday...Dave and I have been looking forward to a new restaurant opening in Katy (Katy Cajun).  They had their grand opening last night....the menu looks GOOD!  We went for lunch today, but they were not open until 5 pm...they will open in the future for lunch, but they are just trying to get situated.  Before we left for lunch, I checked the mail and we had a newsletter thing that had a buy one get one free coupon at one of my favorite Katy restaurants...Texas Mesquite...I always forgot about it though!  So, we went there for lunch. I love it a lot.  The service is wonderful, atmosphere great, and food terrific! 

We came home and I spent the rest of the day working on my last assignment for my career counseling. 

Super Saturday

Yesterday was so much fun.  It started out with me cooking a healthy breakfast.  My co-workers told me how to make the easiest omelet.  You get a Ziploc bag- freezer size so that it is strong, and add 2 eggs and all your omelet ingredients.  Boil water, get most or all of the air out of the bag...when the water boils, place the bag in the water for 10 minutes.  It worked!

We then went and worked out before we met some high school friends.  Jimmy went to school with Tara, Christa, and I.  We met at Clay's for his daughter's 2nd birthday.  Later Danny and Ashlee came over to watch the game and had a great time as usual.  Longhorns won! (poor Brad's team lost...Baylor played West Virginia...score 70-63)...crazy!

Today we are taking it easy. I have one more paper to write and then I am finished with my career counseling class.  I am looking foward to having this week off. Life is good!!!

TGIF!

This has been a very long week.  Last night we decided to go have happy hour sushi with the girls.  They were super cute.  We are excited that La Centerra (the shopping centera few miles from our house) is expanding.  They are building an amphitheater.  I would love a place where we can eat and listen to live music.  This morning I took the girls for breakfast at McDonalds.  The girls school was having a mommy and daughter fashion show.  I couldn't make it because I have to work..which made be a tad sad last night.  I am grateful to have a job that I really like.  But, life is so short, sometimes you miss out on things with your kids.  Anyway, just grateful it is Friday!!!!! I have one last paper for my career counseling class.  Hopefully it won't take me long!
