giveaways galore...

this is so fun! now that i work all day everyday it's so fun to race around after school to all our activities, come home, tuck the kids in, get something to sip on and get online.
it's like a whole new world. so much happens during my work day! i love reading about it all at once at night!

so, i mentioned before that JENNIE is having a giveaway over on her blog. if you make an about.me page, and leave her a message, she'll put you in a drawing for a free photo shoot along with some other really cute items. you should do it!!!!
and then today HOLLY decided to host a giveaway as well. a $50 giftcard to target! WOOT! can't beat that. you should go check them out.
the word is spreading. and it's so fun to see all the profiles popping up. if you have are reading this and you haven't yet created your own profile, let me know what's stopping you. i can do it for you! i'm pretty fast. it only takes about 3 minutes. for real.
and if you are reading this and you have already created a profile...will you do me a favor and find ONE OTHER PERSON to do one? at last count i think there were like 275 profiles. if everyone found 3 people, it could be done before the holiday weekend!! :) just sayin'.

ok. back to my life. i've been sleeping terrible this week. my mind is spinning. i'm cramming my brain with things like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens", "A Model of Reading", and "Put Reading First". and i think it's all jumbled in my brain which is probably going to end up making things worse.

brigg's baseball team had a good win tonight. it was really their first good win in of the season. (and they didn't have many last year, either). so it was fun to see them enjoying it! they have lost gracefully all season and i was so happy for them tonight. just a random thought.

--------------------------------------

i only sub 5 more days this year and i'm DONE. YEEEEEEHAW!!
i'm so so so so ready to have my kids home for the summer.
to just hang out and enjoy them.
so ready.

we had a near tragedy last night. ayla snuck her blankies in to a restaurant with her and accidentally left them there. it was about 30 minutes from our house. we didn't realize it until bedtime. she had a short psychotic meltdown, but ended up surviving. i had called the restaurant and they said they didn't have them. i KNEW we left them there. so i figured they were gone for good. it made my stomach hurt. erin got one for her as a newborn and she's had them ever since. about 10:00 the restaurant called back and they had found them!! whew! it was a close call.

---------------------------------------

we decided to put a tent up in the backyard this weekend instead of spending a bunch of money to go camping. we have lots to do around here and we've been SO busy. i'm beyond excited about a long weekend at home. BEYOND.

---------------------------------------

it's been a nice escape from reality.
