OctoPhoMo Day 15
It’s been a long, stressful week, but tomorrow CBaby and I are headed to ComicCon. I’m super excited! So tonight I made these. I don’t love them, but I’ll see how they look tomorrow when they dry...
OctoPhoMo Day 11
Man I’ve sucked at OctoPhoMo this year. :( I’m going to try and do better. I’m not even sure what the prompt for today is, but I’m sharing a picture of Cbaby in her first PowWow as tribal princ...
OctoPhoMo Day 3
I’m a little late in joining in, but here goes. The prompt today is storms. I’m showing the after effects of Katrina on the barrier island I used to visit every summer to help put in a teacher wo...
For a change
All of my entries seem to be full of ugly and complaining. So I thought I’d share this. Bubba is building a new chicken house. He sent me this picture earlier:
Prayers, healing thoughts, and hopes...
This is Sam back in October. He looks like any normal 2 year old, happy and healthy, excited about his baby sister being born in a few months. He wasn’t healthy, though. He was having stomach ...
Arrrrggggg
Typing this from the new laptop. (Yay…I think…) I kept the page to order it up on the computer all night, just waiting to hit the final order button. I’ve never replaced the computer when the ...
Sweet Summertime
Yesterday was my first full day of summer break. Technically Monday was my last day, but I had professional development on Tuesday. I ran some errands yesterday, but that was ok because I got McA...
Craziness
I’m sitting here with the windows open in shorts. However, I’m out of school tomorrow because the temperature very quickly will start plummeting and by early morning they are predicting freezing ...
Vroom Vroom
The girls got an early Christmas gift from my sister and brother-in-law - a dune buggy/go-kart sort of thing. I could rant about all the things they needed to do with the money instead (clothes ...
Happy Thanksgiving!!
To all of my friends who celebrate Thanksgiving I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow with your family, friends, and those you love. I am thankful for each one of you, your friendship, your lo...
Good-bye Missy + details added
A couple of days ago my sister finally agreed to take Missy to the vet to be put down. The vet didn’t want to do it right at Thanksgiving ( Of course, because we would enjoy the holiday so much ...
Just updating
Thanks for the sweet notes on the last few entries. I did ask again about sending a message to my student, but was told that there could be no communication between us and her. No one has reque...
Hurting Heart
One of my kids was removed from her home this afternoon. We had no warning. Apparently she shared something in her book club that raised a red flag. She’s been seeing a counselor at school, and t...
Long few days
I’m way past catching up on the missed NOJOMO. It’s been a rough few days. On the good side, my dad turned 77 today and is still going strong. Here he is opening the birthday present he bought hi...
Nojomo 8
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done? I’ve had enough deep thinking, at least for a while, on these, so I’m going easy. I was a depressingly well behaved teenager. (My sister was just about as...
Some pics + my tattoo!!!
Man…I’m getting really bad about writing. I come all the time and read y’all. I don’t know why it’s so hard to do the writing. Just a few pics to share today. I got a tattoo....really I did…re...
OctoPhoMo Day 4
I have always enjoyed doing the daily photo entries, so I was excited to see it happening here. My entry for today, my two stowaways: CBaby and Martini, who isn’t supposed to be in my car, but “a...
The Makers of Windows 8...
...deserve to die - or to sit in a room with my 77 year old father while I try to show him how to do things on it. Seriously.....long and painful - which ever they pick.... Edit: I should add th...
Good first week
Tomorrow will mark the end of our first full week of school and it's really going well. I LOVE my homeroom. They are really great kids. They're sweet, funny, and respectful. (That said, there'...
Hitting the road
I'm getting ready (last minute, of course - is there any other way?) to head out in the morning with my mom and Cbaby. We're going to spend a couple of nights in Houston. It was going to just b...
Coward
I was piling everything in the car yesterday before heading to my parents'. At the last minute I grabbed my cd cases down from the top of the bookshelf, where they've sat for a while. I was fli...
Just Floating...
Oh....really really really not liking this new look. I've seen other post about it, but this is bad. (Ok, I gave up and wrote in Word. Maybe I can get a real bullet list going.) FYI - Now tha...
Headache and heartache
I answered the phone tonight and hear, "Can I come stay with you a while?" It was Bubba. He's working in South Louisiana, and is coming in this weekend. He said he thinks it's over. I told hi...
Sick
Sick sick sick and tired tired tired of this winter. Seriously. I'm finally getting over this headcold from Hell and my allergies start up. That would be annoying enough, but I'm fighting alle...
Just checking in
I haven't written in forever, but I've been reading and noting when I can. Tuesday night I started feeling bad. I was afraid yet another sinus infection was headed my way. It got rough for a few ...
Book Description
I’ve been on OD for 12 or 13 years (or longer). I don’t want to jump ship, but I don’t want to lose my friends, either. This place is no OD, but it’s a safe spot at least.
