Childrens Personalised Books

Wow! Hard to believe it is 2010 already…where has time gone is always the question?????

Time waits for no one…time does not wait for you to reach your goals and then proceed.

Though it would be so nice if we could say, “Time stand still a minute or two while I to get this done.” I would be saying that all day long. Time stop! Time go! Time stop! Time go!
Yep, I could become addicted to those words so would everyone else. The utter chaos it would cause..

I have had a couple of people tell me this year ‘What have you lost but time..not a big thing.’ I’m looking at them thinking ‘amazing, time is not a big thing.’ Time is a major component of your day, success, life and it’s not important? What planet are you from?? A second lost is a second you will not get back. We definitely had different view points on time. Not to say I haven’t wasted time, but time has become a “precious commodity” that I’m becoming more respectful of and enjoying more of.

Time is always in perpetual movement. Make this the year that you organize your schedule/time so you get the most out of your day to accomplish your work and personal goals.

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. ~Horace Mann

So once again the kids are home and we’re snowed in!!  I just don’t get it- we’re in the worse stages of global warming since the invention of the wheel and yet here we are digging our way through UK Snow!!

I didn’t mind it so much before Christmas as it kind of ‘got us in the mood’, even when I skidded the car into a metal fence and needed the assistance of 4 burly builders to save me ( Maid Marion eat your heart out). But AGAIN ????

The 12 yr old is of course in 7^th heaven as he just can’t get to school- and if he could get there he wouldn’t be able to get home. The 7 yr old though has school. Tried driving yesterday and can’t say I enjoyed the experience so we decided to walk through snowy London this morning. Well we didn’t so much walk, as hobble to school. I give walking with caution a whole new meaning  . At one point I was overtaken by a 75 yr old man with a walking stick who floated down the street, whistling- I mean how relaxed was he?? It all came to ahead when I hit a bad patch. The 7 yr old described it as ‘spectacular’. I describe it as painful. I can only say I think I may have performed the first triple axle on concrete. Hey maybe the producers of Dancing on Ice should give me a call- or not!!

P.S- the next person who throws a snowball at me and laughs will face my wrath- Bah Humbug.

A family tradition that was started in my family long before I was on this Earth was going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve….

I remember Christmas Eve…..I use to spend most of the day listening to Christmas music and keeping an eye on the gifts being put under the tree….. spying for the packages with my name on them…waiting for a time when no one was in room with me….when the opportunity arose I would shake the gifts to see if I could figure out what was in them….and of course looking at the size of the gift…typical kid…..

I was put to bed early evening and was awaken around 11 pm or so….I got ready along with the rest of the family and we would walk to our church which was up the block from us….It usually was a beautiful night…..with a blanket of snow on the ground and new snow falling….the air would be cold and crisp…nothing said Christmas more then that…

The first thing we would see when we arrived at church was the beautiful life size (or so it seemed) Manger scene…We would enter church, the choir would be singing songs and church would be packed….after Mass we would start our journey back to the house…singing Christmas carols at times…

When we got home my dad, mom and who ever else would make a big breakfast with eggs, bratwurst, cinnamon rolls, bacon, toast and sweets…after our bellies were full it would be off to bed so Santa could come…I would still got up at the crack of dawn to open gifts…

To me Christmas is not Christmas without going to Midnight Mass….my kids go with me at times…but we never have breakfast like I did…but maybe someday…between the Mass, the Carols, and the generosity of the season that is what Christmas is all about…

One step closer to being deliriously happy….http://www.anessa.me

I was thinking of how happy I was not to deal with snow anymore now that we live in a warmer climate. My thoughts soon went back to when I was a kid and how I loved to play in the snow all day long. I remember putting layer upon layers on to keep me warm. When I came in from playing in the snow my hands, legs and feet would be red and cold and my clothes would be hard and stiff from the snow. Funny how as kids the cold never seems to bother you or I guess I should say some kids.

After a snowfall the plow trucks would push the snow into huge piles on the corners of the block were I lived. We seen this as great opportunities to build forts, caves and have some fun. We were pretty good little engineers and we didn’t have many cave ins. Lucky for us no one was ever hurt. Course we never gave thought that someone could get hurt. We were just kids having some fun.

The relentless task of using our feet and hands to build our caves and forts gave way to the hours of fun, laughs and excitement for the day. We enjoyed climbing in and out the caves and on top of the caves. Building caves with partners to have snowball fights with the other group and take ownership over their caves was so much fun and still brings a smile to my face. Great memories that have lasted my life time.

Great snow memories that have help create one more step to being deliriously happy.. ~aaworkingmoms~ anessa.me

Traveling with the babies to Disney. The dreaded car ride.

Hands down driving at night with the babies sleeping was heaven. The kids slept off and on. They were tired and quiet. No fussing was heard except from the middle child. Props to the babies but not to the middle child. I could listen to some good music and enjoy the drive. Not to mention the traffic was great. Wide open roadway, who could ask for anything more.

The the middle child who is home from Korea drove me insane on the trip down. She complained about everything. First she was to hot then she was to cold. She complained about the music. She did not like it or it was to low, to high. It was constant non stop. Next time I am taking Benadryl with me. Yes, she will get a dose or two plus some duct tape to boot. (Not really but the thought will be there LOL)

We all enjoyed playing I am going on a trip game. To my surprise the kids did an awesome job with this game. We had some great belly laughs with licking lollipop lion, wait I am wrong again. Darn it!! It is a lion licking a lollipop. For the life of me I could never get that one right, but hey in my defense I was driving in all that night traffic. Good excuse to me. This was a good way to kill some time and keep us all awake.

The ride on the way home. Never again will I travel during the day with the babies. All I heard was…you guessed it…How much longer before we are home? Yep, the first time I heard this I knew we were in for a long trip. This question replaced the middle child issues on the way down. The DVD system did not help. Of course the rain all the way home did not help either because traffic was jammed from accidents.

I wish hotels would do half rates for people who travel at night. I would definitely sign up for that.

We stopped once on the way down and a zillion times on the way home. Another reason traveling at night is better in my world anyway.

Lets not forget we not only had the luggage to contend with on the way home. We now had added suvioners and a stroller to the mix. Thought we were squished on the way down, on the way home we were beyond squished and no one except me had foot room. I think I could use a smaller vehicle. LOL

We finally played the I am going on a trip game five minutes before we were home. Oops, next time that will be the first thing we will do half way into the trip. ~Ann Marie anessa.me~

I recently had an opportunity to have a talk about homeschooling and grades. Wow grades I have not given much thought about it since I was in college and took an American Culture class where the Professor stated we would all get A’s in his class as long as we participated in his class. When he stated that all of us who got 4. + could not believe what he was saying. Remarks were made and he defended his belief, what do grades mean. When you graduate do they look at your grades and say WOW you got a 4. +, do you get a pay increase for graduating with a 4. and so on. Another professor stated he would rather have a C student taking care of him in the hospital then an A student. His rational thinking was that rarely do you have a book smart person with common sense which is needed in life. I understood both of them and respected their beliefs. I worked my booty off to graduate with honors at the top of my class which I have to say has not given me any extra privileges though I’m sure it would’ve helped if I continued on but it was not in the cards for me.

I had a daughter who would get upset and depressed if she did not get 100% on all of her school work. We took family skip days when she started getting stressed out. Her teacher and the school councilor were in agreement about the skip days.  Needless to say she is like me with grades.

My wee ones are homeschooled. Their homework is sent in and graded and emailed to me. They have no idea what their grades are nor do they ask. They get all A’s but don’t even know it. They simply get to enjoy their studies and be kids with no worries about their grades. We concentrate on making sure they understand what is being taught. It makes our job of teaching easier and it is less stressful for them. It is a win-win situation for us.

To me grades do not make a person and grades do not have to control a person’s outcome. There have been many people who graduated at the top of their class and they never amounted to a hill of beans and others who barely passed who have become very successful. They had ambition and the will power to succeed. Some extremely smart people I have known committed suicide because they could not handle failure and the need they had to be on top. One cannot help but to think this may have been focused on at an early age because of the stress to be at the top of the class. Many kids are bored in school for one reason or another which diminishes their ambition to learn. Everyone has their own way of learning that works best for them and schools are set up for kids who can sit at a desk quietly and work. For everyone else, it makes it a bit harder to learn. The main thing is not everyone who gets ‘good’ grades comes out on top and not everyone who barely passes is stuck at the bottom of dead beat job.

One step closer to becoming deliriously happy. ~Ann Marie (A&A Workingmoms)
