Do today what you can do for Tomorrow

My mother taught me a very good lesson when I was growing up.  She always does things  in advance.  I remember asking her once, "why can't we just do it tomorrow?"  She told me that we should always try to do the things that we can do  for today instead of waiting for tomorrow.  I am like that when lazy bug is not with me lol.  With hubby, he is a work ethic man so I never had any problem of procrastination with him.  But all of us I guess have moments where we doesn't feel  like  doing anything.  Sometimes it is better to put off the things that we can do today  especially if we like we will screw things up.  

Parenting

Good morning/evening everyone! How are you all doing? My son and I just finished eating our breakfast. Hubby and daughter are in school.

Lately, our daughter has this attitude whenever she gets home from school and hubby and I are getting worried about it. We talked to her yesterday and told her that if she doesn't quit doing that, we will have her take some time off from school. I am not sure if that's the right thing to say to her but it seems to work. Before she left this morning, I told her that there should be no more attitude when she comes home from school and she promised that she won't do it again.

I am torn about this because I feel like I am failing my job as a Mom in teaching my kids the right things. I don't want to think that her peers in school have some kind of influence to this attitude because I talked to the teacher and she said that Rylie is doing an excellent job in dealing with other kids. So I don't know where the problem lies. Is it from us? Your honest opinion is greatly appreciated!

Box Tops Education

Hello there everyone, how's your day today?  We had a rainy day today but the day just passed by so quickly.  We wnet to the courthouse so hubby could cast his vote and we visited Dad for a couple of hours.
Anyhow, you might be wondering about the photo above.  I am collecting box tops labels from  the boxes of cereals, cake mixes, brownies and other  stuff  that offers box tops for education.  My daughter schools participates to this so I am  supporting them.  If you guys want to  help out, you can cut out  BT labels and send it to me, as the box says "it pays to be passinate"  hehehe.  Need to go to bed now folks, lady in red is killing me wahhh..

The Bakers

Here's my SIL Chris and Rylie whipping up some dough to make cookies.  How I wish that I have their passion in baking cakes and cookies lol. Baking is not really my thing, it is always hubby who makes cookies and cake at home.

Shark

Would you freeze if you are swimming in the ocean and you see one of this going towards you?  I think the  fear would  drown me instantly lol.  Good thing, this  giant baby was in the aquarium when I saw him hehehe.  How about you?
