I promised myself that I was going to blog everyday---(or almost everyday).
So here I am. I have nothing interesting to share. I have nothing funny or cute to chat about.
Dinner tonight was yummy- Salmon, Corn souffle', asparagus and fudge for dessert.
Dishes are done, shower taken, jammies on and ready for bed.
Did I forget to mention that it is 7:30 P.M. and I am going to bed.
I am not sick, I am just tired.
Hope tomorrow brings something interesting to chat about......
but if not, that is ok too....
I like things being calm, orderly, relaxing....
I like going to bed at 7:30.
I think someone should call me "pops".
(My Pop's (grandpa) went to bed at 7:30. )
Remembering him makes me smile.....he went to bed at 7:30---- I like being like him!!!
Good night-
Chat tomorrow!
I am tired. It is 7:30 and I have my nightgown on and I am settling in to bed. Yes it is 7:30 P.M.

Just Checkin' in.
Busy,Busy,Busy, and yet...feel like I have very little to do.
Ever feel like that?
This last week has been so FAST.
Thanksgiving was nice. We spent the holiday at Rowdy's moms.
Emily and Jake spent quality time hanging with the cousins.
It was laid back and very enjoyable.
No big hub-bub. No DRAMA. No angst or anxiety.
Just some turkey, some fixin's and some fun.
The cousins and the kids really enjoyed "just hanging out".
I wish every holiday could be so CALM and WONDERFUL.
Did a little Christmas Shopping on Friday. ( I waited until well past 9 to head out- NO waiting in lines at 3 am in for this gal).
Emily went with me which make shopping a bit more difficult....but I managed by using my coat as a blanket over anything that may have been for her.
The next few days after that are a blur. Lots of buzzing around town with errands....but nothing that stands out as all that memorable.
I did have a super good engagement photo shoot on Sunday. It was COLD, dreary , drizzly and just plain YUCKY out..... but this was the only chance the couple had to get together before Christmas.... so we just MADE IT WORK. AND the shoot was very successful.
I'll share a few photos later.
And now we are back to work. Monday was terrible= just yucky with loads of kids who just were not ready to return to work. 12 subs in the building did not help.
Tuesday is bound to be better!
Chat soon!

It has been a while....
Wow, it has been a really long time since I blogged. It is sad actually. I feel a bit like I have failed. I don't like that feeling. I don't like that at all!
I don't have a reason I have neglected the blog. I have not been particularly busy. I have not had a busy schedule or been knee deep in some glorious project.
I think the truth of the matter is...
Not much has been happening in "the Schmoll World".
That is not exactly a true statement. Lots has been happening.
Lots of school work. Lots of math and history homework. Lots of after school activities. Lots of EVERYDAY life kind of things.
Emily is LOVING high school. She is taking EVERY honors class offered. She is receiving straight A's. Emily is also excelling musically. She is in an upperclassman Jazz band (one of only 2 freshman), and she is preparing for her Christmas concert where she will have 2 solo performances. She has also joined the Pep band and is looking forward to performing with them.
Jake is enjoying his 7th grade year as well. Jake's teachers want to "clone" him and fill a classroom with "Jakes". He is an excellent straight A student as well.
Jake's communication arts class is writing a "murder mystery" and plan to have a Mystery Dinner in a few weeks. Jake has been working hard on that project. He is a typical young man in his spare time and is very involved in his video games.
Rowdy is working hard, as usual. He and Eddie are still great partners. Rowdy's spare time is spent helping with Math homework (I'm no help there), hanging out with the kids and I, and playing games with Jake.
I am loving my job more than I have in a long time. Changes in my office have improved my work environment GREATLY. I have such great friends at work, I look forward to seeing them every day. I have NOT spent much time crafting, or scrapbooking or EVEN taking photos.
I have really been MOM and Taxi service more than anything else lately. I am not complaining....just stating the facts.
I am happy to be back in the BLOG world. I have missed it. I promise that I won't be gone so long this time. (I know the 3 people who wondered where I have been are giggling right now....because they know they are probably the only ones to read this).
