Today

So for some reason today I am able to post something on my blog from my computer at work. Sweet! I also tried to make some changes to the layout of my blog since eventually even I tire of bright pink. I've gotta think I'm not the only one out there. My new template is boring, but as I am still a babe in the woods with this whole blogging thing it's what you get. I know there are super cute borders and whatnot you can find somewhere but who has time for that? Seriously. I'm probably just being bitter because I'm not cute and clever like so many other bloggers out there, so if you're one of them, just ignore me, I'm just jealous.
If you're not one of them... seriously people, right?
Anyway, I'm afraid I have no exciting news to tell you. Things are pretty much the same as they have been. No fun plans coming up to look forward to...just hoping I still have a job next month in this fantastic economy. I have been teaching Maya how to play the piano and she really enjoys it, so that has been fun. Zane has been working on his multiplication facts for a while now, and I think he has finally memorized all of them, so that is definitely cause to celebrate. Zack is currently struggling with his Japanese class and since his parents don't speak any Japanese, he's kind of on his own with that one. That's one of those life lessons where you learn that just because something sounds fun, doesn't mean it always is. Live and learn, that's why we're here, right? Troy and I are very fortunate that Zack's mom is so great in working with us to help Zack and do what's best for HIM rather than what's best for HER. I cannot tell you what a huge difference that makes in a divorce situation! It is so much better for the kids when they can see that their parents are all working together as a team to help them and support them. It's not always easy, but in a situation like that sometimes you just have to put your own personal feelings aside and work together for the sake of the kids. Anyway, I'm off my soap box now... sorry... momentary relapse.
I thought I'd look through some older pics and post a couple from this summer. One is from our first camping trip with our new trailer up at Strawberry Reservoir, but it was taken at the end of our trip so we are looking a bit haggard... the other is from Troy's b-day in June - I just thought it was a cute pic. See ya!
