Well, its been a while since I've posted. I just haven't had a lot to say and I've been really busy. School is coming to a close. Only 6 to 1/2 days left and I'll be on summer break. We get out at noon on May 23rd and its a day that i'm really looking forward to. This has been a good year compared to last year, but I'm ready and so are the kids. I'm looking forward to a relaxing summer and two weeks at camp. I know that I'm going to get there and want to stay longer, but this time, I'm going to have to just deal with it! I'm loooking forward to seeing my nephews Memorial Day weekend. I haven't seen them since Christmas. I didn't get to make the trip a few weekends ago when my parents went out to keep my nephew after he had his tonsils out. Alrighty...on to Mothers Day and Tornados! So, Mother's Day arrives and we wake up early Sunday morning to AWFUL weather. I woke up and walked down the hall contemplating going and jumping in bed with my parents. I was a little bit nervous. I decide that I need to try to be a big girl and go back to bed. I turned on the news and all they were saying was take cover and stay away from windows. I didn't really know what I should do. I eventually fell back asleep and then woke to my cell phone ringing telling us that church had been cancelled for the day because the Macon Sheriff's Department has said that no one needs to leave their houses and to stay off the roads, because the damage was so bad. I was like...what in the world. We listened to the news and found out where the damage was really bad and new that we had relatives that probably had some issues, so we tried to contact them. After finally getting in touch with them, we decided to take my aunt and uncle a generator so they could plug up their fridge and not lose all their food. I could not believe the disaster! I looked like a bomb exploded. My aunts house was surrounded by trees...you could hardly see her house. Thankfully, with her yard covered in trees, not one tree damaged or touched her house. I wish I could say the same for the neighbors across the street from her...they had no roof. We rode nearby to our old neighborhood and the house that we used to live in and their was a big hole in the corner of the house where my parents bedroom used to be. Trees surrounded the house and were on parts of the house. I am so thankful that we didn't live there anymore. I took tons of pictures and if I can get them on here, I will post a few. So needless to say, this will be a mother's day that I will definitely not forget. ON the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day, church was cancelled, an EF2 Tornado came through and I was disappointed with the outcome of Survivor. I just had to throw that in, because I did not want Parvati to win! What in the world? So a disappointing day all around...except, I am thankful that with all the damage, no one lost their life in Macon. There was one tragedy about an hour away in another town, but if you saw the mess, its amazing no one else lost their lives. Now, let's hope that everyone will get out and help with the cleanup process. I spent my day out of school on Monday, painting a friends shop, cleaning up my aunts yard and a fellow teachers yard...i thought at the beginning this is going to be horrible, but it ended up being one of the best days and i was so glad that I was able to help someone out.
So, i tried posting the pictures at the end, but it keeps adding them to the top. Don't know the deal...anyone the first one is my aunts house and the second one is me and my mama!!
