Yes, it feels like it's time for summer right now! I meant to take a pic of the thermometer during the day, but I forgot....so here's the temp at 7:00 at night....a balmy 78! It has been a gorgeous day today. How nice has it been? Well....I actually thought to myself on two separate occasions today that it would be nice to go outside and ::gasp:: exercise. And I did exercise, in a way. I cleaned out all of my kitchen cabinets and rearranged them. The just didn't make sense. I had the junk drawer next to the pot holder drawer, and the school paper drawer next to the plastic wrap drawer....it was all mixed up. So I switched them around first then....the rest was history. I spent probably an hour and a half (part of Judge Milan, and all of Judge Mathis....lol) working on it and I'm very happy with the results. However, I am sure it will completely confuse those who have to put the dishes away, and I'll spend the next few months searching in vein for something that has been misplaced!
FCAT's are over for the month (the Florida standardized testing), which is a big relief to wee one. For the past two days she has told me that she has been getting "shivers on my neck, but not good ones, and then I sweat and feel like I'm going to throw up." I asked her if it happens at home and she says no. I know exactly what is happening, as I suffered from anxiety attacks for years. Poor thing. She has been so nervous about the tests. I hate them. The teachers push so hard for them to be ready that their regular school work is affected. Not to mention the scare they put into the kids. They were told if they were absent on test days they would have to go to the principals office! WTF???? Another wonderful attribute of Florida schools. *enter sarcasm here
My girls are at my parents house right now, visiting with my sister. We were there too, but they begged to stay for a while longer. So what are darling hubby and I doing with our free 1 1/2 hour? Well....he is in front of the tv, and I'm in front of the computer. How's that for romance? We took the girls out to dinner tonight to our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Can you believe I had never been to a Mexican restaurant before last December? It's true. The food here is so good. I had a chicken quesadila....wonderful! Anyway, as we were waiting for our food to come, wee one says "You and daddy are the best parents for three reasons. You love each other, you love us, and you haven't gotten a divorce and made us have step parents." Awwww....lol. What a nut!

Takes one day and its not that bad for here because mom does it. OH i Love mexican resturants and they usually have really good frozen marguritas. I LOVE Habanero sauce YUM YUM YUM I finally got some to put on foods at home. I reorganized my drawers once and it does help to have my stuff closer to where where I use it. But took me months to remember where to go get stuff LOL Brain freeze you know.

We have the same tests here but they are called "CMT's" and I really HATE how the school sends notices home warning children to make sure they get enough rest and eat a good breakfast on the days of the CMT's. What about the other days of school? They don't care, it's just so their district looks good on the records. I tell my kids to do what they can, don't stress over it, and that it really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with them on a whole as an individual student. That takes the pressure off of them right away. And, love your weather you are having, but I still wouldn't want it! I love the cold, so I don't mind it one little bit! :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
Blowing through here to say hello
I have more junk drawers then anything. This sounds like a good idea. I think I might copy. Do you have a tv in your kitchen? How can you watch and work? LOL
Aww Wee One says such sweet things. :-)
