    What a Great Weekend!

    January 29, 2006 - By 

    Sorry I’ve been MIA, but this past week has been hectic. Friday we had an Auburn Diamond Club banquet. Then, my dad, who I haven’t seen since 2002 came to visit and I was really excited that he was able to come. We enjoyed the beautiful weather by walking around on campus while showing him around. We ate lunch at Chappy’s Deli and dinner at Cock of the Walk. Today we just hung out here and then we made homemade pasta for dinner. The boys really enjoyed seeing him. Alex has never seen him and Drew didn’t remember him. He…

    Where did the weekend go?

    January 22, 2006 - By 

    Yawn… I’m so tired! The party with the five boys plus mine went pretty well. They enjoyed the surprise, which was an Auburn basketball game. He wasn’t thrilled with that at first, but Drew got to meet some cheerleaders and had his birthday announced during the game. After the game, we came back and they played. We did pizza for dinner and opened presents. They played more, and then we did cupcakes. Through the night, they had some spats. Four of the five kids spent the night, so it made for an interesting evening. We let them watch a couple…

    January 20, 2006 - By 

    Monday is my older son’s 8th birthday…sheesh!! I can’t believe it. Nothing like waiting to the last minute! So I’ve spent my afternoon calling moms to invite their sons to come over for a party. Not only a party, but a ‘spend the night party’! Yes, I think I’ve gone CRAZY! They’re being dropped off at our house tomorrow before lunch and then, we’re headed to a surprise for Drew. The Moms know, but the boys don’t know because we wanted it to be a surprise. Oh, and did I mention I have a math workshop that I’m required to…

    2nd Grade Disappointment

    January 9, 2006 - By 

    Friday night, Drew said, “Mom, you gotta look in my folder. There’s something important in there!” I asked him to bring it to me and I found an envelope with his full name printed neatly on the front. I opened it up as a large lump found it’s home on my throat. I was pretty nervous with anticipation! Inside were 2 blue sheets of paper. One was a letter from his teacher, Ms. B, which said she would be taking a leave of absence to seek medical treatment and proper recovery. Ms. B had been out quite a bit before…

    1st Post of 2006!

    January 2, 2006 - By 

    Hope everyone survived the New Year’s festivities. 😀 I didn’t post yesterday, because I was so bummed about going back to work today. Yesterday, I got off to a *great* start (not following my goals) by having a fish fry. Rob fried out catfish, fries, and hush puppies. Yum! Today I had to make the trek back to work. Not only was I bummed because going back to work is depressing and we’re having to work on a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, but I was going to miss the Auburn Bowl Game. Well, as it turns out we were able to leave…
