March 31, 2012 - Rainy Day, Baseball, Starbucks and Bart

Zachary's first season game played in the rain. He was full of MUD.....I saved him and his grandma judy from walking in the rain. Virgina had to leave for an errand. I was able to help with a ride to Starbucks and ride to Bart in Millbrae. I know gma Judy loves Zachary.

Mom needed to decompress by finding a estate sale!!! Could not pass up a small piece.

March 31, 2011 and another CRAZY week

Zachary was tired of not being quick with math questions and was caught looking in the answerkey. But, we practiced the new math concept. He knew it. Of course, an apology note to teacher by 9pm on Wednesday.

Positive note - my hydrangea is growing and it is SPRING break time

FIGHTER - bring it

It's been an amazing ride this week. I am proud of who I am. And its because of my mother, my father, my family, my friends, my therapists, my son, my husband and ALL of my mistakes.

I work hard, love hard and play hard!! And I will fight for those I love until I cannot fight any longer. Please stand by me god as I fight through this journey called LIFE

A Relaxing Saturday- March 17 2012

Zachary received his 2nd quarter report-card. We are on track for academics but need to continue to work HARDER!!!Mrs. Mihara is a NO NON SENSE teacher. She is pushing Zachary to do his personal best. I hope that some day Zachary will look back and say " Mrs. Mihara" encouraged me to be the best that I could be. In the mean time, I'm praying for the strength to get through the next 12 weeks of school. I also bid at a school auction for a fantastic summer camp for Zachary. And I won it and of course a pedicure session for mama!!!' Woodside Mountain Camp will include - all meals by chef, horseback ridding, tennis lessons, swimming and 22 other activities to choose from. One week scheduled out of 12 weeks of Summer is better than nothing. Thank goodness for a new job that is SUPER stressful, yet allows me to provide for my spirited child.
Thanks Allyn for standing by me during these stressful times. Trying hard to juggle two house schedule for Zachary is EXHAUSTING! And thank goodness for thrifting!!!! Four hours later ....my mind and stress was back down to earth. Now back to mom duties and planning meals for the week.
