I woke up Tuesday morning feeling sick to my stomach. Feeling as if I was missing the funeral for my best friend. That yearning in my heart that told me, “Let me see them one more time.” It’s terrible, gut-wrenching. Knots form as I try not to ponder the thought that the Toomer’s Oaks will… Read More »
This month I was happy about: life in general. I feel God working through me in so many positive ways. I love it! This month I was sad about: Alex’s continual complaining about his stomach bothering him and not sleeping good. Something I accomplished this month was: 2 mission projects: 1st day of service with… Read More »
This was the 2nd year that our BSA district participated in the Auburn City Fest. Rob was in charge of the “ScoutFest” again this year.
Although, we didn’t go to the rolling of Toomer’s Corner after A-day, I raced over there Sunday night just as the clean up crews got there to start cleaning up. Here’s a few shots: I’ve written a bit about the trees already. I’m not sure any of my words have or could ever truly convey… Read More »
These trees have stood the test of time. Over a hundred years ago no one knew how beloved these trees would be. How they would be the center of countless celebrations after Auburn University victories. How they would be the focal point of a tradition that is a favorite among Auburn students, fans, and alums.… Read More »

Today some students came by and asked my student worker if they could ask her a couple questions on video for a project. She said sure so they went ahead and started rolling. “What is your definition of cohabitation?” She answered something to the effect, 2 people who are in relationship, who choose to live… Read More »
Last weekend we went to the Mississippi Coast. You see we were supposed to go see Elton John a few weeks ago in Birmingham. Rob and Drew had tickets on the 8th row and I along with another friend of ours had tickets not so close, but Elton ended up sick. So we got notification… Read More »
This month I was happy about: Drew making Honor’s Band for next year. This month I was sad about: the Elton John concert cancelled 2 hours before the concert. Something I accomplished this month was: getting my bedroom clean and organized. Something new I did was: get an anti-biotic shot. Don’t think I’ve ever had… Read More »
Saturday was Alex’s birthday spend the night party. 3 other boys arrived at 10am for a day of fun. Here’s a few pics to sum up the day. See list of all birthday posts.
Last week, Rob was honored to be given a much deserved “District Award of Merit” for all his hard work in scouts over all. Very proud of him! I was so excited to find out he won it, because I told him “Now you can resign all your district positions! Right?” Let’s face it. My… Read More »
My pic of the day is pics of the day, because I had several pics I wanted to post from the Blue & Gold Banquet. You can see ever more pics here. It’s amazing how a room can become so festive with lots of hard work from our great group of volunteers Alex getting his… Read More »
A punch in the gut. That’s how I felt when I saw a headline on the front page of our local newspaper a couple weeks ago. I saw the picture. I saw the name. At first, it didn’t hit me and then it did. I know that kid! I taught that kid! And now…he’s just… Read More »
On the way to take Alex from school to Rob’s work, he said, “Today I accidentally had a great example of cause and effect.” The cause was I spilled some chocolate milk on me. The effect was I smelled like sour milk. And another effect from it was that the janitor had to come mop… Read More »

Turkey Baaaster Ok, I have a work story for ya. It’s actually from back in January, but my student just reminded me about it. One of my student workers, Kelsey, was starting to read her textbook for her medical ethics class. She was in the introduction part of the book, where it referred to something… Read More »
It’s not like I don’t have enough to do, but I find these little things that irritate me that become my obsession until I do them. One of which is going through my old Xanga posts namely Travel posts and reposting them with pics and more cohesiveness. The first one I found after talking to… Read More »
Tonight was Drew’s first game as an AHS Jr. Varsity player. He got to play most of the game. It was very, very cold, but luckily Auburn won (by a landslide!)
I’m making every effort to cut back on carbs whenever possible. I found these mini-egg muffins easy to make a head of time. Each morning, I just pop a couple in the microwave for about 45 seconds and add some fresh fruit on the side. Servings: 24 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes… Read More »
Today was another busy day. It started off with Rob and I going to a friend’s house for the Polar Plunge, which was a fundraiser for Special Olympics. Rob and I were not plungers. We were just sponsors, ie: observers. 🙂 Here’s a few pics from the event: You can see all my pics from… Read More »
