Congrats winners!  I will fill in names as they are confirmed.

So I can handle a full time job, a blog, and grad school while taking care of the house and kids- my limit?  Add pneumonia……I’m sorry I’m a slug- I’m working on reviews and contests now, one will be up within the hour  🙂
Thanks for hanging in there with me!   🙂 

Hey all,
This mommy is soooo shot today.  Stupid pneumonia is killing me right now.  And you know there is no rest for a momma- some days are just harder then others.  Plus, it’s my first day off some of the meds, so I don’t think that is helping much.
I will make sure to post extra for you tomorrow and all weekend!
Have a good night,
Samantha

Don’t miss Fully Charged, the all-new surge of circus entertainment from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® where megawatts of thrills explode off of the arena floor with breathtaking dare-devilry, superhuman stunts and never-before-seen performances that energize Children Of All Ages!  The circus train is set to make stops at Newark’s Prudential Center from February 23 – 27, East Rutherford’s IZOD Center from March 2 – 13 and Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum from March 16 – 20!  Opening Night tickets at each venue are only $12 (excluding Circus Celebrity and VIP seating)!

The most electrifying edition ever of Ringling Bros.® celebrates ‘performance power’ that boosts circus-goers’ excitement. The amazing acts, which can only be seen at The Greatest Show On Earth®, include Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to ride rearing stallions at a fully-charged gallop and orchestrate majestic four-ton Asian elephants in a symphony of dance. When he stands inside a cage, eye to eye with 12 ferocious tigers, Tabayara sees family where others see danger.

Audiences will feel the earth shake when the strongman duo of Dmitry and Ruslan, who are as wide as they are tall, enter the arena. The brawny twosome give the word ‘manpower’ a whole new meaning as they lift large, cumbersome telephone poles, which weigh up to half a ton, and twirl them above their heads while acrobats balance atop.

The fearless Fernandez Brothers dial up the thrills as they perform daring feats of athleticism on the Twin Turbines of Steel, including extreme jumps and twists inside the moving wheels! Audiences will crackle with excitement as they watch Guillermo perform a 360-degree, flying-forward somersault, three stories in the air, a feat so difficult it has only been attempted by one other person in the 141-year history of Ringling Bros. The Human Fuse, Brian Miser, sets the arena sky ablaze as he rockets through the air from his self-made human crossbow. Don’t blink as he flashes across the sky in less than a second, and travels 80 feet at 65 miles per hour.

Ever wonder how many clowns it takes to change a light bulb? The hilarious hoopla continues to flow as the clowns from the world-famous Ringling Bros.® Clown Alley, charge up the audiences’ funny bones with hysterical silly antics and clownish comedy.

You can only experience this current of excitement at Ringling Bros. Fully Charged! Get your tickets for high-voltage fun today!

I’m frustrated. Today, again (AGAIN) one of our kids was given a snack she can’t have due to allergies. A well meaning mother gave it to her, even though we kept taking it away. For parties- sometimes the mom’s can’t help themselves from giving the snacks to all the kids, even when we remind them that a child can’t have a certain snack. I eventually sat down next to her to prevent her from getting this snack.
This has happened more then once.
The scary thing? I was not with my regular teaching group today- and no one but me knew about her allergy. Of course, I kept reminding everyone. But it is always easier when all the teachers [Read more…]
