My baby boy is 4 today! I know I always say this when the boys have birthdays but I can’t help it. Time goes by way too fast! I decided to do I like I did with his big brother and just pull some of my fav pics of him. Not posted in any order.

Where has the time gone? So ever since Drew had a birthday back in January, Alex started saying, “Drew is 10 and I’m almost 4.” As time escapes us, he now started deleting the “almost” part and announces to everyone that he is 4. Needless to say his birthday is a week from today. Where have the last few years gone? It seems like yesterday I was so ready to get that baby out. Thinking of ways to put myself in labor, so I could meet that little boy that was growing inside of me. And now I try to…

How can my older son be turning 10 already? Where has the time gone? On Wednesday the 23rd, Drew will be TEN!!! He’s got 7 boys over tonight for a sleep over. No I’m not insane, but I might be by the morning! LOL! I had a mushy post to write about the 10 years he’s been on Earth, but I’m not going with that right now. Maybe later when I don’t have 8 hollering boys downstairs, playing air hockey, and playing video games.

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

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…

How sweet it is! I’m in the process of getting everything set up on it.

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.

Uh! Why don’t I learn my lesson! You can’t take paint that’s been sitting for a couple of years and expect it to actually match when you’re trying to make touch ups. I had this problem at the old house. Today I had the brilliant idea to find the old paint and do some “touch-ups.” The people who lived here before us had nearly 20 buckets of paint that they left, most of which are different shades of gray. I found the colors that I thought I needed, proceeded to stir each one up and then go make the touch-ups.…

Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming please. Things are still not good with me and won’t be until there’s a resolution. If you’d like to read about what’s going on, all those entries will be password protected. I have to be careful who reads it, so if you’d like the password just let me know and I’ll share. I’m just being cautious. On a happier note, we’re picking up the U-Haul tomorrow and are going to fill it with the first load. We’ll go over Saturday morning for the walk through and then, hopefully we’ll have the truck…

Finally! We bought a house this week. Well, we signed a contract and came to terms with the sellers. We’re set to have our closing May 15th, back to back with the sell of our house. We’re moving in the weekend before that if all goes as planned. We’re in a mad rush packing, cleaning, scheduling this and that. Home inspection is Monday. Pray that all goes well with that. Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming! Still a few hurdles to get through in the next 2 weeks! Wow! Only 2 more weeks in this house…

Monday, March 26 – (1st day of spring break) Looked at homes for the first time. 4 homes – 2 of which we scratched off the list. 2 of which we kept on our list. During lunch at Applebee’s we got a call from Laura and found out we were getting an offer by the end of the day. 4:45 Laura came by and we reviewed the contract. That night we discussed the offer and decided on a counter offer. Tuesday, March 27 – Laura called potential buyer’s agent. They counter offered and we accepted!!! 12:00 we signed the revised…

Appetizer When you travel, which mode of transportation do you prefer? It depends. All modes of traveling are good for different reasons. Soup Have you ever met a blogging friend in person? Yes, just one. I’d love to meet more. Salad When was the last time you were really, really tired? A lot lately. Main Course If you could have dinner with any one fictional character from a book or movie, who would it be? Hmmm, not sure! Dessert Fill in the blank: One day, I hope to see _______________.

This is the house that we wanted to buy and the entire reason we put our house on the market. GONE…SOLD! I’ve actually known about this for a couple weeks, but had to get over the devastation before making this public. Life goes on. We’ll continue to pray that ours sells and that we find something else as good. If you’re family, please beware that if you bring this up or anything about selling, you may not get the nicest of responses. You’ve had fair warning. 🙂

Where has the time gone? Drew is N I N E today! You don’t know how old that makes me feel. I’ve spent much of the day reflecting on this day 9 years ago. I look back and think how young and naive I was at the time, but SO didn’t realize it back then. I guess maybe when Alex turns 9, I’ll feel the same way about that time, too. Then… Now, here he is with his new pet that he got for his birthday.

This week’s Photo Scavenger Hunt theme is new. This is an Aubie ornament that I got last Christmas. Aubie is Auburn’s mascot.

This morning I found out that one of my student’s mother was murdered last night. When he got up he went to wake his mom up and walked through what he thought was water (because ‘the pipes are always leaking’) and it ended up being his own mother’s blood. He found her dead, beaten, stabbed, and her throat was slit. When his homeroom teacher went to check on him today he was outside being interviewed by TV reporters. What the heck is wrong with those people? This 5th grade child just found his mother dead and they have TV cameras…

That would be my Alex, my 2 year old. I have a list of things he’s done lately that have been completely destructive, but today tops it. I had gone in the other room to open the windows because it’s cool outside and warm inside. Then, Rob got home and I started talking to him. Alex brings me this black plastic thing and I’m like what is that? It turned out be one of the many keys off my keyboard that he ripped off. We were able to find all the keys and the little white plastic pieces that help…

I’m a nervous wreck! I have a huge observation tomorrow with the Asst. Superintendent. I’ve dreaded this since I was hired. She’s a very nice lady, but she shows no emotion and you can’t read her. Very intimidating. Please pray for me. The good thing is is that I’ll have it over with! 🙂
