Wordless Wednesday: Star of the Week

Angry Kid is “Star of the Week” at school this week. As usual, the Angry Family likes to wait till last minute to do everything. It is how we roll. I’m sure that you can guess what time I was up until on Sunday night.  Angry Kid knows how Type-A and umm crafty I am somewhat.  I had Angry Husband spray paint his name on the poster with a stencil. I attacked my Flickr account for pictures, added some glue, foam stars from my craft boxes, and Angry Kid had a presentable poster.

Angry Kid is "Star of the Week" this week. It is also his birthday week. Poster done! One thing checked off my massive to-do list.

Hello Monday: Mother’s Day Edition

Hello Monday!

Hello loud birds chirping at 5:15am.

I think the birds knew that it was time to wake-up and run. My alarm was set for 5:20am. Ye gads, what was I thinking.

So this running thing, it is not fun running as it gets warmer. So my choices are 1. get up early and run before it gets sunny and/or 2. run after 8pm.  I chose to get up at the crack of dawn today. Six miles done.

Hello to Mother’s Day yesterday.

I hope everyone had a good one.  Angry Kid and I went out to lunch with my mom and family friends.  Angry Husband took a picture of Angry Kid and I later in the afternoon.

Hello to a new iPad case as a Mother’s Day gift.

My Avia recommended this one from Brookstone. I love it. Angry Kid picked out red because it means “LOVE”.

I got my iPad in March. I seriously needed a case, and the keyboard, a total bonus!

Yippee, the family got me the @Brookstone iPad case that I wanted for Mother's Day. Angry Kid said he picked out red, because it means love. #mothersday

Hello to Angry Kid seeing his mentor, Jacob.

Jacob is 13 and will be a freshman in high school in September. How time flies.  He is my friend’s son, and I remember when he was a tiny baby. Seriously, this almost 7 year old and 13 year old are very similar. It is scary.  They both love USC also.

Hello to forgotten photos.

Oops, I forgot to post edit the photos from our last soccer game in February. I went through about 100 photos this weekend and edited them.

Yes, my son climbed up on the playground equipment.

Hello Star of the Week.

Angry Kid is “Star of the Week” this week.

His birthday is Saturday.  I told him that he needed to work on his poster. He asked if I could, “take care of that”, ha.

Of course, my best work is done at the last minute, you know, midnight.

Organizing for Star of the Week poster

I will be working on my presentation for the Orange County Social Media Summit the next few days.

I am a keynote speaker. I am crazy. 600 SIX HUNDRED people. What the heck was I thinking?

Are you coming?

Well…

Hello Monday!

Angry Kid and I are going to lunch with my mom and some family friends today. He gave me a great gift of a new iPad case, which I desperately needed.  We got my mom a photo on canvas as a gift. Today is my rest day from running. I’ve been quite the crazy runner lately.  And I got to sleep in till 10am today, while Angry Kid was busy killing things on the XBOX.

I love this photo of Angry Kid and me.  One of these days, I’m going to order it on a canvas from Drew. I just need to figure out where to put it.

A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love,—how sweet the name!
   What is a mother’s love?
—A noble, pure, and tender flame,
   Enkindled from above,
To bless a heart of earthly mould;
The warmest love that can grow cold;
   This is a mother’s love.

James Montgomery

Once again,

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Hope you have a great one!
