Hmmmmm in Just in Case
I found out this evening that Tootie and Bubba’s father died today. As a human I feel the same remorse that I would for any other human that died. No…really I don’t. To be honest, I feel nothing ...
Checking in in Life
I’m awful about writing in here. We wrapped up school early today. It’s a good time for the Thanksgiving break to come. There’s a lot going on. It’s strange here without Lizzie. I still look ...
It's been a week... in Life
This time last week I was feeling sick to my stomach and watching Lizzie struggle. I knew that I was going to have to make a decision by Monday morning. I couldn’t figure out how to take the da...
A sad good-bye in Life
This weekend Lizzie started having problems that made me realize that some of what I was contributing to old age or contrariness was actually probably the beginnings of a problem. I realized that...
Some people never seem to get a break in Just in Case
I’ve written about my cousin and Aunt who are having such a hard time with their other family. They’ve struggled so much. They were going to get a vacation next week. A cousin has a time share in...
OctoPhoMo day 24 in Life
Ok, so I think I’ve only done about 1/3of the month and only one of those was on topic. I suck at writing lately. I think life has been a struggle and I’ve struggled to find a balance. Anyway,...

OctoPhoMo Day 15 in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case

OctoPhoMo Day 3 in Just in Case
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...
Long year already in Life
I keep coming in to write a post, I read some and then head out. It’s been a rough rough year so far. Lots of stress and worry. I don’t want to keep posting pouting, venting entries. And yet he...
And the year begins in Life
We started with the kiddos on Friday. We’ve always done that, a half day on Friday and then the rest of the day just working in our rooms. I thought it was crazy the first year, but I really li...
Classroom Tour in Life
I’m almost through with my room. Our laminating machine quit working, so there’s a couple of things still to put up. Other than that, it’s done. I always talk about it, so I thought I’d share ...
Waving hi! in Life
You know, when I got the laptop I thought I’d write more. I mean it’s in the living room 90% of the time, on the tray by my chair. It’s just usually closed. (And if I don’t stop hitting the to...
I’m still in shock over the shooting in Lafayette. I go there fairly often. I love that town. It’s actually the 4th largest in the state, about 120,000 people, but it’s all spread out and seems ...
Summer in the South in Life
For those who have a romantic notion of summer in the south I want to paint a more clear picture for you. It’s freaking hot!!!!! Imagine - you take a shower. You feel and smell fresh and comfy. ...
For a change in Just in Case
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... in Just in Case
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 ...
And Home Again in Life
It was a mostly amazing week. I’m glad to be home, but man do I miss those Gulf winds and that place. I love it down there. They got smart and added a picnic table at the end of the walkway whe...
Packing Up in Life
We’re in that typical summer type weather. Sunny mornings and ran/stormy afternoons. It’s not as hot as it will be later, but you can definitely feel summer out there. It would be nice for the ...
Arrrrggggg in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case
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...
It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I started a couple of weeks ago with some serious allergy mess, that quickly spread to upper respiratory/chest cold crud. I got almost well, and then spent the ...
