A was Student of the week in her Class. She was excited to be the leader and I got to bring snacks for all the kids.
I missed going to the Momslikeme event ( Women in Work) for many reasons ...sick kids, and didn't want to abuse my friend babysitters that I use once in a while.
My lesson for Church is done and having a Board meeting after church. Woot Hoot.
I'm Hosting a Blog Event at my House about Family Safety through California Volunteers and will be discussing : The event would include several key speakers from California Volunteers including head Karen Baker( Not coming) and a CERT safety instructor to give you tangible information to prepare you in case of a disaster.
Talk about the our popular downloadable, customize-able Family Plan http://californiavolunteers.org/familyplan/plan.html as it helps teach kids (in a non-scary way) how to memorize what to do, telephone numbers, etc.
Oh New moon comes out that Friday Nov 20. Yes I have my Ticket to go to the show.
I have also scheduled all my kids Parent/Teacher conferences and its almost time to registrar K for Kindergarten.
I did do school pics of the kids, and I just need to have them printed up for Family.
That's whats happening here.

Books being sent
I have read AS You Wish by Jackson Pearce and its a good book. Hoping to get this book. Don't you just love this cover?
This book is coming from Meg Cabot herself for me to read and review. My daughter is just as excited as I am to get this book. I have never read the series at all , but I have seen the books in my childrens book orders forms at times.
I'm Thankful for this Internet because of this I would never have gotten some great books to read, so far and meet some many wonderful friends. I think because of my friends, my goodreads.com want to read list has gotten longer and longer. Also my Amazon.com has gotten big too.

MADD is Online
I have always heard about MADD while growing up. If you don't what it is...
Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
MADD has a new website called: www.thepowerofparents.org . This is a great site and I noticed that they have all age groups covered.
My parents were great examples to me while growing up and we did discuss drinking and driving. Because of the communication I had with my parents, I hope to instill open communication with my kids about all topics. You can find MADD online in these places.
MADD Blog

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of MADD. A donation was made to MADD in my name to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
