Mornin' ya'll! Hope everyone has had a great week :) I'm still sick but I just miss everyone so much I can't stay away any longer lol I may only be able to visit a couple at a time but I am gonna visit everyone before I go to bed tonight!
Let's see now what's new here.... I've got laryngitis..not exactly front page news tho is it? lol
ok seriously lol.... Today is the final day of the reading contest at school! They sent home like 12 tickets to fill in info with book title and author, well Chantaye filled those up Tuesday night, so Wed. I sent a note with those tickets that she needed more, and 'Taye reminded ding-bat..well then yesterday 'Taye told brainiack again 3 times I NEED more tickets and still not a single ticket! I am really beginning to hate this teacher! Well we were talking about the contest yesterday after school and 'Taye didn't know she could win a trophy well as soon as I told her that she said "I WILL win this!" lol omg the look of total determination on her face made me glow :) She kept sending me to the bookcases to get more books, thank goodness we have 1 case packed with kid books lol I had to make this child go to bed at 10 last night, she wasn't ready to "give up" as she put it lol I wrote all her info on index cards (made me a copy on paper too lol) and all total she has read 60 books! some of which were chapter books! (42 last night alone) I am so proud of her I could just bust!!! She asked this morning if she had time to read more lol When I dropped her off a bit ago when the teacher on car- duty opened the door for her first thing out of her mouth was I read 60 books! lol I know I'm making a big deal about this but to me it is huge! lol Ya'll pleeeeeease cross your fingers for her, she will be so heart-broken if she doesn't win. We are going to do something special for her whether she wins or not, but I just can't imagine another 1st grader being determined enough to read 60. Greg says if she doesn't win then we are gonna call and demand an explanation because he thinks the air-head may be trying to keep 'Taye from winning since she wouldn't give her more tickets.
Ok enough about that lol
I added 2 new lil adoptions from my friends Becky P. & Becky W. thanks ladies :)
I had more to write but Angela got me all distracted now and I can't remember what I was gonna say rofl! I'll try to make it back tonight and let ya'll know how 'Taye does with the contest :)
Have a wonderful day ladies!

Hey Girl! Glad you're at least feeling enough better to put in a lil' post. *Ü*

Congratulations to 'Taye on her reading! She's becoming quite the little bookworm, huh? I sure hope she wins!

Hi Aretha, glad to see you back! I have missed you, but make sure you are feeling up to it! I am having such a time recovering from this thing this time! Bless you dear one!
