One Up

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Have you ever been having a rough or frustrating day and just needed someone to talk to? For me it never fails that whoever I try to talk to about it always one ups me. The person always has a bigger better badder story to tell me about the same kind of things? Ugh! I’m [...]

Twas the Night Before School Started

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

After nearly three months of anticipation, rounds of new faces, and millions of ideas that drifted in from San Antonio, school has finally started. I had a hard time sleeping Tuesday night. I had a case of the jitters. I wouldn’t exactly call it the same jittery feeling that I got as a child the [...]

Back to School

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t posted anything new in a few days. With all that’s involved with going back to school, I just haven’t had the time or the energy. I’ll have lots more soon. Right now I’m off to see Dave Ramsey–which if you haven’t already done so, I HIGHLY recommend taking the [...]

Hemorrhoids, Kudzu, and Multi-tasking

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Weekend recap. Much randomness. So… This has been an interestingly stressful weekend. First, my grandmother was put in the hospital for some internal bleeding. Everyone was fearing the worst. But after a night’s hospital stay, it was only hemorrhoids. Seriously. Jerrad and I spend about 2 hours traipsing through kudzu trying to figure out exactly [...]

Here’s to a New Year

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Well, the school year starts today. I’m off to a 7:15 rendezvous to head over to Littlejohn for a “Back to School Celebration.” Jerrad asked if were just having a big party. I wish! There are lots of changes in store this year and I really don’t like change. So we’ll see. But thanks to [...]

When Nature Attacks

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Nature has been attacking all summer long…attacking ME that is. First it was the strange bout of poison ivy. I’ve never had it before and I haven’t had it since. It started to spread to places that poison ivy shouldn’t spread. But it all ended with a painful and expensive cortisone shot and prescription steroid [...]

Summer Blessings

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I have to return to work on Friday which means that my summer is almost over. I’m a little sad about it because I really enjoy sleeping in and watching lots of tv. But, I’m actually ready for work. I’m ready to get back in my routine even though I’m not exactly looking forward to [...]

RAIN!

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Thank you, Lord for the rain. We desperately needed it and we desperately need more!

Under The Weather

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

I’ve been a little under the weather today. I was supposed to chaperone a sleepover and then go swimming with them today, but I just didn’t feel like it. I’m sure Kelley will forgive me. So to occupy me, I’ve been surfing the net and watching TV all day. And my cat has been sick. [...]

Teaching Idea – 10 Questions

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Great ideas abound when you have the time and resources to come up with them. I’m guiltly. I took a magazine from the doctor’s office today. I couldn’t help myself. I had an “Aha!” moment while reading a Time magazine today. Time had a piece called “10 Questions for Sir Ben Kinglsey.” It’s an interview [...]
