    Playing Catch Up!

    May 22, 2006 - By 

    I haven’t done an actual post in….not sure how long! I’ve been busy with finishing up school. I had a lot more to do at work before summer than normal due to the fact that the entire school will be painted and recarpeted this summer. So we had to box everything up and take everything off the walls. Last Sunday, Mother’s Day, was really nice. We went to Columbus, GA to shop. After shopping, we went to the Riverwalk and walked a couple miles. The kids enjoyed seeing all the turtles in the river. Then, from there we went to…

For those of you who know me well know that I’m a city girl. I don’t mind the outdoors, but I’m not one who enjoys mosquitoes, chiggers, getting dirty & sweaty, and “roughing it”! Sleeping in a tent?

    Letter to Alex

    April 8, 2006 - By 

    Dear Alex, I’m not one for writing sappy letters anymore, but I was just amazed over the week we spent together during Spring Break. You amaze me. You discover and learn each every day. I love it when you say T-to (thank you) after I say thank you. I’m trying to teach you to say you’re welcome, but I think you’d rather say T-to instead. When I say I love you and you reply with wa-wuv u. Then, I say you need to say I love you too and then you say three! That’s hilarious. I find it quite humorous…

    Our Valentine’s Day

    April 1, 2006 - By 

    Today Rob and I celebrated Valentine’s Day. Remember how we celebrate it late. We had lunch at Red Lobster, while Uncle Nick watched the kids. I really enjoyed myself. We stuffed ourselves. We have so many leftovers, it’s not even funny. I’m on some new meds, which I think it’s interfering with my appetite. Anyway, so I gave Rob the movie, Fever Pitch and a couple other things. He got me the movie The Notebook and an autographed copy of Going Places! Yes, Rob now reads my blog.
