Well, hello everyone. I have not posted in forever. I have been so busy (lol) what with the grandson and all. I can't stay out of New Orleans for one thing. For another, I have retired. Yep, Austin and I are free from the school work. I have so many projects around the house that I have put off until retirement, that I don't know where to start. I ( Read more... )

Well, I must say, that after much deliberating about leaving my children on the Thanksgiving holiday,I put aside my guilt and had a really good time. Where to start...We arrived at about 2-ish and checked in. The weather was already getting cold, and a little drizzly. At the check in, there was a small craft mall that we walked around, and I got ( Read more... )

Well, here I sit sulking in Hackberry while most of you are enjoying Tigerama. Stupid fire at stupid basin bridge, etc. I have been in a bad mood all day. Marcus, you know I love you dearly, and I really wanted to go to see you perform. If we had not had to be re-routed forever, I would have made the trip. I can handle midnight or so getting home.

I saw the grandmother of the little girl in yesterday's story and related it to her. She laughed and told me this one. It didn't happen at school. She said the little girl wanted to make some cookies so they got everything together and she got a little apron to wear. She told her grandmother, "You can be Paula Deen and I will be Rachel Ray." Isn't ( Read more... )

Well, I laughed today. We were having snacks. Our snack was an "Awesome Apple Tree" snack. It involved putting green icing on a cookie or cracker, adding a pretzel trunk, and putting tiny M&M's for the apples. Of course the children had green icing all over their faces. I told them that they would have to wash their faces and hands, and said ( Read more... )

Well, I slept late today...almost nine o'clock. That is really late for me. Last night, Daddy and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness, which I had been wanting to see for a long time. I really want to go see Hairspray, but I don't know if I really want to go into town today. My weekend was good. Anytime I get to be with my children makes it a good ( Read more... )

Well, I guess you can say that my summer is over. It is Tuesday, and I have been to trainings today and yesterday, and I have to go to another one on Friday. So I guess I will go to my room tomorrow to get it back in order. We begin next tuesday, and it will take me several days to get organized. So, goodbye summer, hello school year. But...it is ( Read more... )

Well, hello everyone. It has been a long time since I have posted, (like someone else I know who I won't name but lives in New Orleans) but I guess I haven't had much to say or time to say it. Let's see...summer is here and I have done a little organizing and cleaning. Not much,yet,though. Daddy and I went back on the strict 2 week phase of the ( Read more... )

Jason told me that the other day, Phoebe was eating ice cream and had it all over her face, even her forehead. He licked his thumb and started wiping some of it off. When he wiped her forehead, she looked at him funny. He said he had to wipe off her head. She said, "That's not my head, that's my mind." She touched her forehead as she said this. She ( Read more... )
