It is Official I Am Old!!

I am slipping in my old age.  I have shared before about wagers I have made with the hubbs and my kids.   I normally do not wager unless I know I am going to win. 
My kids are the worst, in the mornings, trying to get ready and clothes and bags packed for school.  They wait until it is time to go out the door to scramble to find PE clothes and get the book bags packed.  After telling Big T to get his things together three times I was at my end.  He said, I am ready.  I could see his gym clothes and his gym bag in the chair not packed.  He said again, I am ready.  This is where my age has caught up to me and I slipped.  He said he was ready and I said he was not.  He said, I bet you I am.  So we bet and I lost.  Ughhh I detest smarty pants kids.  I did forget he has two sets of gym clothes and two gym bags.  He was indeed ready to go to school.  So I have to pay up.  I was completely over confident in this one.  I blame it on my age creeping in.  I will not admit that my son got the best of me.

Sorry for the Break. . .

I have not had time to post these last several weeks and I do regret it.  I have been all over the place, between the kiddos and their schedule and my own.  Whewww! 
My public speaking  class has really been a challenge but, one I  am very happy to embrace.  This class has really thrown me out of my comfort zone.  I have learned that public speaking will not kill you, as I have long believed.  I have met some great young adults in this class.   My first speech was my hardest because it was all about me.   You would think I could talk all day about me.  I guess typing about me is much easier than actually being in front of a group and talking.  My last two speeches were on aspects of Dave Ramsey and I knocked them both out of the park.  Very proud of those two grades. 
The Constitutional Law class has been a big challenge too.  I will be glad when this semester is over.  I am going to try and get back in my groove with my posts, I beg for your patience as I try and adjust. 

I am going to brag just a bit on my very smart and handsome boys.  They both had straight A's this grading period.   I am
a very proud mom.  You may think it is no big deal to get straight A's but, when you throw in that they were both playing football and had practice every day it is an accomplishment.  
Stay tuned, lots of things to come. . .
