  July 29, 2008

  Two days ago on Monday, July 28, it started out like any other day - until my mom got a confusing letter from Social Security. They extended their condolences for her 'loss' of the man she divorced more than 25 years ago and informed her that she may be entitled to some benefits and they…

• Hello!

  July 8, 2008

  Wow, has it really been three months since my last entry? School has been out for a month now, but we got the boys the weekend before the last week of school so life never really slowed down enough for me to write. My long term sub job went well. No one flunked, including three…

• On vacation without guilt! Yay!

  April 3, 2008

  First off, I'm sending out a great big HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ALYSIA!!!   We didn't forget her on her birthday though since she was in town early for the Ren-Faire and we gave her a batch of gifts then. But you can never have too many birthday wishes! Right now my honey and I are…

  the school year! Yes, the long term sub job was made official at 4:09 PM on March 15 when the teacher I'm subbing for had a 10 lb. 3 oz. baby girl!!!!  That's some HUGE baby isn't it? And even more amazing is that her mom is only about 5' 5" tall and I bet…

• Annoying Revelations

  March 11, 2008

  I've had two annoying revelations this week. The first one has to do with my baby girl Jasmine. Her back legs are not all that strong and she sometimes has a hard time walking which is not surprising given that in 'people years' she is 104! So actually she is doing amazingly well! However, stairs...

• I suppose I should update!

  February 22, 2008

  Not a whole lot more than the same old, same old going on with a few little highlights.First off, we did not increase our family. One important thing I had forgotten about is that if this young girl moved in with us, she would not only be out of her school district, but also the…

• Hey kids! You might be getting a kid sister!

  February 7, 2008

  NO, Mom's NOT having a baby! LOL! Last week I met a senior at the school. She was a sweet kid and she was waving at me with a big grin. I waved back even though I didn't recognize her since I thought maybe I'd had her in a class I substituted for but it…

• Curtain pictures finally!

  January 28, 2008

  Here are the pictures finally, but I am not really happy with them. The colors are not right in the pictures and don't give a real feel for how the room looks now. We had problems because of the sun streaming in though so I won't complain since that's a huge selling point. This room…

• Quick Pics

  January 27, 2008

  I don't really feel like writing, and since I am home today, there are things I should get done instead of sitting here. Oh well! But there are a few pictures we took last week that I wanted to post. This is a very rare sight here in this part of North Carolina. Not unheard…
