My Weekend...

was really great! It was busy, but good times! It started off on Friday as I went with Todd to the hospital to welcome a little one into the world. His best friend Justin and his wife Nikki had a little baby boy. He is such a little cutie! I got to hold him for a few minutes and he didn't make a sound!! Then we rushed to get me back to the house, because I was going to Disney on Ice with my buddy, Chrissy and her girls. It was really good. We had front row VIP seats! I could bend over and touch the ice. The characters would skate right up to us and shake the kids hands. I took 188 pictures!!! I don't even know which picture to post on here!!! It was a lot of fun!!!

Then, Saturday morning I got up and went with Todd and Tanner to Callaway Gardens to hang out and see the Fantasy in Lights Show that evening. It was a really good day! We had a great time and i got some great pictures of flowers and butterflies!

Sunday was spent at church watching our choir's cantata in the morning and the kids program in the evening with the afternoon spent with some close friends having our Christmas early with them.

It was a busy weekend, but a very good one!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I hope everyone had a great day today with their families! I went about an hour away to my cousin's house where we go every year to celebrate with about 50 family members. Even though my immediate family is small, I am blessed with a huge group of relatives! I always look forward to getting together with all my aunts and uncles and cousins even if all we do is sit around and eat and talk all day long. My brother and his clan were here for most of the week and it was a lot of fun getting to play with my nephews. Tonight when I got home, I went with some friends to see Four Christmases - pretty funny!
I'm so thankful for all the people in my life...old and new!! I hope you all had a wonderful day!

I just recently went to Mississippi to visit my brother, sister in law and nephews during the Columbus Day weekend. I had not seen them since the 4th of July and I have not been out to Mississippi since Christmas! I was so glad to see them. I love all the hugs and kisses they give me and how excited they are to see us! I love it when I go shopping while they are taking naps and come back with prizes for them and they are so excited. I was at Kohl's and they had these cute Curious George stuffed animals for $5.00. My nephews love Curious George. So I bought them and they went crazy...they were so excited. The day we left to come home, they were getting ready to go to school that morning and they had their Curious George's with them to take to school. Kannon, my 4 year old nephew said...when I hug him, I'll pretend I am hugging you!

Super Saturday!!!

Okay, so last night at my buddy Rachel's bday party, she fussed at me for not posting forever. It really hasn't crossed my mind lately. I've been a little busy with school and stuff lately and have not even thought about it. But, last night Rachel reminded me that I needed to blog, so here I am! I'm sure no one will be reading this, because I'm sure the 2 or 3 people that do read this have given up on me by now!!

So, today I went to this farm place. Can't even remember the name of it! But, I went with some friends of mine and their kids. They were suppose to have a hay ride, but didn't. It turned out to be a cow train...this cow shaped cars being pulled by a lawnmower. It had the most pitiful looking pumpkin patch ever, lots of chickens, and some really cute little bunnies. It also had this thing called a corn jump...this huge thing filled with corn kernels. Think of those fun balls that you loved to jump into when you were a kid and maybe even now you still like to...but instead of balls...its corn kernels. I decided that I would jump into it. Well, I really just sat down in it and when I did, I sank a little bit into the corn and before I knew it, corn was going down my pants ...not only into my pants, but my underwear too!! I was laughing so hard and had to run around the back of the building to try to shake all this corn out of my pants. Despite the pitiful pumpkin patch (which I am still dying to see a real one), it was a fun day and the kids had a lot of fun. We went back home and we (or Todd) carved the one he got for him and Tanner and it turned out really good!

Well, thats about it!!!

Doctors Visits and Prescriptions

This week has been a week full of doctors visits and prescriptions. It has also been a week of spending a lot of money of them. I should have become a doctor...i always think that I should become one so i could charge people a decent amount of money for my services! I could write on and on about how much I have spent on the medical field this week, but I won't do that. All I do know, is I'm not about to spend $240 on these stupid inserts for my shoes to see if that will help the pain in my foot that has been going on for years that no one can seem to figure out why I have it. Okay...so I will say...why would a doctor prescribe you some medicine that cost a ridiculous $40 when you can get the same thing over the count for probably $10 maybe not even that much. However, I don't think about these things until its too late! I found out this week that I'm a little anemic, so I have to take these iron pills for a month. Well, I didn't know that you can just buy iron pills, so I get these expensive ones that were prescribed for me from the pharmacy that are not even listed on my list of meds through my insurance company. After freaking out at the pharmacy window about the cost of all my meds, I give in and pay for the medicine. Why can't the doctor just say...go get your a bottle of iron pills. You don't need these ridiculous expensive ones.

I laugh because every time I go to the pharmacy to pick up my mom and dads meds...they are like...$1.00! Yeah, you heard it...a dollar!!! I asked the pharmacist one day, why can't any of mine be a dollar. Mine has to be at least $15 and up!! Okay...so i went on and on about the cost! Oh well!

2 more days of school this week...i'm ready for the weekend!!! Last weekend was good...i meant to mention that my good buddy Joge and Jon came for the night! It was so good to see them!!! I miss Joge living here! She and I just really had a great time together!

Well, thats about it! I need to go! Don't forget to remember and pray tomorrow for the families of the victims of September 11th!!!

Happy Labor Day!!!

It was a good Labor Day! I slept til 10:00 but didn't get up until about 10:30. I could have slept at least an hour longer. I went shopping with my mom and actually bought a Christmas gift, which I was very excited about. Tonite, I went to a Birthday Cookout for a friends mom and that was good too! Afterwards, I watched the premiere of Prison Break...well, the first hour and then I had to head home to get in bed for school tomorrow. And...now I'm here typing this. It was a good day off. I'm glad this is going to be a short week. We have Grandparents Day on Friday and most of the kids will be gone early! I just thought about my kids not knowing their poem for the program on Friday. Yikes...better get on that one tomorrow!!

HAPPY WEEK!!!

Fabulous Friday

I am so glad that it is Friday! The week went by pretty fast, but i was tired and ready for it. It's been a stressful week at school. Not because of the kids, but because of duties and extra things we have to hand in that are really annoying. Now, I know with jobs there comes a few extra things you sometimes have to do, but this is annoying. Thats about all I'll say for fear of saying stuff I shouldn't. Just pray for me this year. I need to have an attitude change really bad!!!

I was glad though when 3:00 came, because I knew in a few hours I would get to hang out with my buddies! Friday night has kinda turned into a game night for me, my parents and a few friends. Well, tonite my parents had some friends over that were their own age instead of hanging out with my friends. Which...i do think it is hilarious that my friends love to come over and hang out with my parents and play games on Friday night. When I was gone for two weeks this summer, I would call home on a Friday or Saturday night and my friends would be over at my house hanging out with my parents and playing games. Too funny!!! So anyway, my friends and i decided we would let the old folks play and we would go do something else. So we went to my favorite restaurant...Carrabas and then back to my friends house to hang out. It was a lot of fun. This couple that I have become really close friends with have two little girls that are so funny. They come over a lot and swim and just hangout when their mom and dad come over. We have snacks and toys and stuff for them, but anyway...tonite they wanted to know why they couldn't come over to my parents house. I said, well there's nothing but old people over there. She said...yeah your mom and dad are old. They are like 16!! I just laughed. I knew they would appreciate that!! Anyway, it was a fun night and I'm glad I have such great friends to hang out with!
