Its almost time...

for school to start again WOOOOHOOOO!!!! While I will miss the extra 1 and a half hours of sleep I get during the summer, it will be nice to have some sort of schedule back in our lives...and I always feel bad when i don't make Bobbie work in work books over the summer, I know I should and I always start out with good intentions but it never seems to make it past the first week or 2. This year it didn't even make it that far. I am very blessed that we got a new principal this year and he made sure if a parent cared enough to request a teacher then the child would have that teacher, so this year Bobbie will have her first male teacher Mr. Dillon, I am so glad she is going to have him, he is very sweet but will not be walked on, I think they will be a perfect fit, he is fair, but won't put up with her whining.
I was also elected treasurer of the PTA this year, that should be interesting all on its own, but I am glad, I love being involved with Bobbie's school. I like having a say in what happens with her education, and there is nothing like seeing her face light up when I show up to surprise her and eat lunch with her, because I was on campus anyway. Well I guess I have gone on long
enough, but I just can't wait for Monday!!!

Readers Digest Verison

I haven't posted in a while so I will give a readers digest verison of whats been up in the wonderful land called the Rivers House...

1. sister-in-law (roberts sister) got in a huge fight with her mother in law ( with whom they were living) and got kicked out, so now My sister-in-law (Shanna), her Husband (James) and their 2 kids (Kristy, 16 and Justin,12) are staying with us for a while until they can get back on their feet.

2. Broke my little toe and part of my foot ( I was getting Krista out of the bath and tripped over one of her toys), and since it was either my foot or her head, my foot now has big owies...

3. My stupid father-in-law was playing with a rattle snake ( I told you he was stupid) got bit and ended up in the hospital for a total of 10 days...he is now going to showcase his stupidity on tv ( the DR. they sent him to at Loma Linda has a show called Venom 911, or Venom ER, or something like that)

4. My tempoary job that started in late febuary and was supposed to go for no longer than 6 weeks is still going strong...can't seem to get out of here...luckly I like MOST of the people I work with, so I guess thats a blessing.

5. Bobbie is sprouting little booblets and at 8 years old and going into 3rd grade she will be wearing training bras...on that subject, what are they in training for? The booby relay?


ok I think thats it for now, I hopw as things calm down I will be able to post more...
