Day 31

My oldest (R) and his friend at a hockey tournament this morning. He had already played in two short games and had one more to go!!

My youngest (R) and two friends after his 3 games. Hockey families are some of the most amazing people we've ever met. Always willing to help out with whatever we need...especially on the mornings when I am alone getting both boys dressed in their gear.

Day 30

Yummy...this is what I made tonight...the ingredients say it all!

I made them for a hockey tourney tomorrow that my boys are playing in. I'm sure some will remain home for my family to enjoy!!

Day 29

So...I sent this picture last night from my cell phone, but in never transmitted. Here it is today. This is day number 29...the husband and I went out to celebrate his birthday...a few days early...fun was had by all! Oh...and I know it is super dark, but it is super dark inside "Wolff's Biergarten" and this is the best a cell phone can do!!

Finally on my way home tonight...it was a long day as every Thursday is (and Tuesday too!). This was taken with my cell phone and I promise I was stopped at a red light.

Day 27

Maybe this blog should be titled "A day in the life of a mommy who is a student"!!!! Every Monday and Wednesday I have a 3 hour break between classes and I meet a fellow classmate (and mother of two) for study time. We are taking the exact same classes, so this makes me accountable to someone else...which I need sometimes!

Day 26

Day 24

I had so many pictures to choose from today, but I love this one because it has my beautiful Goddaughter in it. She is 2 1/2 years old and she adores my boys...so much that she interchanges their names. To her, they are just one...so sweet!

Day 20

Today was the first day that my oldest and I had to leave the house by 7:35 so I could drop him off at Y-Care and get to my class on time. I tried to take a picture of us with a clock in the background. I think if you look hard enough you can see it says 7:31!! We were so proud of ourselves!!
Next I had to take pictures of my books...I am taking two very hard classes this semester. My books were so expensive...I could not believe how much money I had to spend...

...A&P and Microbiology books cost me a whopping $590.00!! Yikes!!

Day 18

Today I decided I needed a bottle of wine to celebrate my last free night before school starts. I don't often buy a wine for myself, but today was just one of "those" days. Too bad my best friend wasn't here to help me drink it...miss you Heather!
I picked this brand totally by how awesome the bottle is. I love the colors of the label and Pinot Grigio is my favorite!!

These are my Pandora wine glass charms. One is missing because it is already on my glass. It is the "queen bee" charm...perfect for me!!

Day 17

In action at the Times Union Center...my boys skated last night during an intermission at a River Rats game. I could not get a good picture of my youngest on ice, so below is a picture of him before he went out on the ice.
Before the game.

Showing mommy his "I am so excited to skate on the big guy ice" face!!

Day 14

Me and the girlies sporting the new Wayfarers!! What fun we have playing around at work on a slow day. Every time new frames come in we can't help but try them on and model them!

Day 13

So you might wonder why I took a picture of two boxes of drug store hair color. Well, this redhead really needs a color and the budget just does not allow. For the first time in 13 years I am coloring my own hair. I sit here now with two types of color on my hair (with the guideance of my wonderful colorist, Michele, she is just amazing) one for the roots (permanant) and one for the ends (semi-permanant). I just hope and pray it does not look awful when I rinse it out. Watch for the update!!
UPDATE: IT WENT PERFECTLY!! THE COLOR IS GREAT AND I AM SO HAPPY. THIS WON'T REPLACE THE REAL THING, BUT FOR NOW IT REALLY HELPS WITH THE BUDGET AND MY SELF ESTEEM TOO!! ;)

Day 12

Me...a tutor...really? This was quite an ego booster, but a teacher I'm not. I will go to one of the meetings to see if I have it in me to teach others...we'll see!
Sorry about the quality of the picture...scanning would have come out clearer, but this is a photo blog!!

Day 11

My little boy was home sick today...he was under the weather and may have needed a day home with mommy! Sometimes you just have to take the day and stay home! Love him!! ♥
My big boy when he got home from school. He had a gingerbread cookie for a snack and was chillin' on the couch watching t.v. Gotta' love that big guy!! He's the best!! ♥

Day 10

The boys dressed to play hockey. Every Sunday morning they play cross ice games with their teams. It was so cold this morning, but I love to watch them play. They play on opposite ends of the ice, so I sit in the middle and look like I'm watching tennis...turning my head right, then left, then right again!!!
