This picture was from last week I think. I love playing around with Photo Booth. I thought I’d post this to show my new hair from back in late October. Although, its already grown out quite a bit. I’m probably getting it cut again this week. I’ll post a new pic afterwards.
So since I’ve been pretty much MIA for months, I do have a lot I can write about. Back in November, Rob and I went to Atlanta and spent time by ourselves. I’ll write about that later, but anyway while we were there we went shopping and I got an iPod Touch. I’ve been enjoying that thing so much. It’s been a serious sanity saver for me. I took it with me when I went to Texas by myself, which I can write about later too. I listen to it everyday on my way to work and on my way…
I don’t have much of an update. I think all my readers have vanished so I haven’t been too concerned about updating. My life is still an upside down mess, but will hopefully be getting back on track soon. Sorry I can’t go into details, but it’s pretty personal. Thanks for understanding.
I’ve been so busy with other things that I haven’t been able to post pictures from the party at Toomer’s Corner after the win against Florida. Such a SWEET win and a great birthday present, too! Read here about the tradition of Rolling Toomer’s Corner
Here’s a pic of the elated Drew with his precious pet, who has been eating like crazy since we brought him home.
I haven’t had a chance to show you my other birthday gift from Rob. You know I got my MacBook Pro back in August and now I have this sewing machine. I’m going to be a very busy girl!
I called this morning to check on Oreo and they said he was eating and jumping around. Yesterday he wouldn’t move hardly at all and just laid out. They said the doc wasn’t in yet, but they’d call me later. I just got the call and he’s fine, needs some meds for a few days. I’m just so thankful. Drew and I just cried till our eyes were puffy before I left to take Oreo. He just kept saying, “Momma, don’t let him die.” It’s so hard to see your child in such grief stricken pain. In an hour when…
Drew called me while I was driving home, saying he thought Oreo (his rabbit) was dead. He was crying and it was very traumatic. I got home and looked at him and saw that he was probably not going to make it, but I would take him to the vet. I was praying they could do something to help. Drew got the rabbit for his 9th birthday back in January, so we haven’t had him that long. It’s Drew’s first pet that is just HIS, not a family pet. Drew couldn’t go with me to the vet because he had…
9 year old: Mom, I’m getting more popular since I’m hanging out with Parker. Gosh I remember when he didn’t know what popular meant.
“I think I’m growing hair in my armpits (big grin)!”

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already.
This has been sitting in my draft box for too long. Just decided to go ahead and publish it. Please excuse any typos! Columbia, SC Wednesday 7/25- Left at 5:00 and headed to Columbia, SC. Stayed at the Sleep Inn Thursday 7/26 – Drove through Irmo, where we saw where Rob lived with his Dad and he was even able to find the house. Stopped at Carolina Cider Co. and got Peach Butter and 2 different types of cider. Yum! Drove through University of South Carolina. Drove to Charleston, SC and went straight to the Cannonboro Inn, Room #2 Lunch…
Last night was AWESOME! I’ve never enjoyed a concert as much as this one. Foreigner was great as usual and did an abbreviated show that we saw back in June. Styx was ok. Nothing too spectacular there and it was quite upsetting to Drew that they didn’t play Mr. Roboto. Def Leppard rocked the house! They were just amazing. Lights and camera work added to the music that brought goosebumps and lots of memories for me. It was touching to see Rick Allen, the one armed drummer, who played bare footed and didn’t miss a beat. By the 3rd or…
So can’t wait for the concert. On the way home I was able to pick up an Atlanta station and they were interviewing
How sweet it is! I’m in the process of getting everything set up on it.
14! Yes, that’s my older boy. Drew is such a teenager already. He’s got the attitude, the eye-rolling, the moodiness, and he’s nearing the hormone surges. He watches shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Zoey 101 (who he’s in love with), and Drake and Josh (which is my favorite of the 3). He’s wearing deodorant and is to the point where he needs to learn to wash his face and start using products like Noxema and Cleaaisil. Oh, I can smell it now… This is something I’ve been wanting to write about all summer, but tonight we…
Gosh, I think it’s been forevah since I’ve written! I’ve been drowning in work. I’m quickly getting burnt out, so I’m trying to get ahead and stay ahead so that I won’t feel so overloaded. Today was only the 3rd day of school, which is scary. It seems every year I become burned out quicker and quicker. I just keep thinking, I need to find something else to do. There’s a lot of great things about teaching, but I’m just not sure it’s what I’m meant to do. But then, I think about the summers off. Although they’re short, it’s…
Sorry I’ve been so MIA lately. I feel like I haven’t blogged in ages. Last week I started working on cataloging every single book in my classroom library. Not only that, but I’m adding 350+ books that I’ve kept at home. I’m doing it for a couple of reasons. One of which is to free up shelf space at home and I think with the organizing and leveling my library, I’ll hopefully still be able to locate these books when I need them to use for my lessons. Yah, we’ll see how that goes! So I had to create the…
Yesterday was a busy day. We had family over and went 2 doors down to our neighbors. We ate, drank, visited, and swam. We went to the local fireworks celebration.
