Happy Mother's day

to all you moms out there! Hope your day is great and filled with pampering.

Easter a little late

J was out of town on Easter and about 10 days leading up to it. He had a big tournament to attend and it was actually really cool that he got to go. On Easter I had plans to take the regular photos, but I couldn't figure out where my camera was, so no photos were taken. I found it the following week an we took a belated Easter photo. It was actually good that I waited, because the the tulips were a little late this year - since spring came late. Several goofy faces later we got a few good ones (ok so a bit of goofy in the good shots as well). Hope your Easter was great.

I passed

I passed my proposal which is a good thing. My committee wanted several changes made to my intervention, which will take a while to do, so now it is back to work so I can crank out this dissertation. Man this can be a painful process.

Proposal

Tomorrow I propose my dissertation research project. I feel prepared, but I just don't really know what to expect. I know one thing for sure - I need to bring my A game.

sunshine

The other day it was about 70 degrees for a high - glorious and sunny! It didn't stick around, but I am happy nicer weather is finally at our doorstep. The winters are long here and I am ready for a change. In other news I am still incredibly busy, but try to find time for all of the important things. Some days are better than others with that. The kids are keeping busy with swim, gymnastics, and soon again soccer. No wonder I am tired on Saturdays.

Snow surprise

Last night into this morning early we got about 10-12 inches of snow, wet hard to shovel snow. I know because I spent 40 minutes shoveling the driveway this morning and that was with a little help from the person clearing our road (he shoveled off the top of our driveway with a bobcat). Oh, and H my big helper tried to help as well, but got bored fast. I thought spring was coming - especially since my bulbs are popping up, but I guess we still have a bit of winter left. Hope your weather is more springlike!

buried

I've been a little bad at blogging lately. The reason is I am buried in work. I have a lot of things to get in line so I can start data collection for my study, and time is starting to get short. So, I am afraid you won't hear as often from me, but I will still try to post when I can.
