A call to 911 and funeral arrangements in Life
That’s how my weekend went. Friday I stayed late at school to help with the coke delivery for our 4H club. I’m not a sponsor any more, but I told them I’d help. A friend was meeting me here at ...
Craziness in Just in Case
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 ...
Brrrrrrr..... in Life
I’m sitting here freezing my tush off. There have been signs of spring here and there, but winter came back and bit us hard these past few days. We’ve now used 2 of our weather days. Today was...
Checking in in Life
I don’t know why I’m suddenly having so much trouble with putting entries in. I’m reading y’all, just not noting much. (I hope to get caught up on that tonight.) I don’t know, just so many thi...
Just a day (and some pics) in Life
It seems like the only time I write here any more is about horrible things. So, I just wanted to post a normal entry about a normal day. I spent some time at my parents’ house yesterday, which...
I should be sleeping, but the brain is busy. I was told today that I looked like I was exhausted (never a fun thing to hear). I guess I’ll either do a better job with the makeup tomorrow or just ...
I plan on doing a year in review entry later, but had to share this news first. I got a call from Tootie today out of the blue. Actually I got a text with a goofy picture first asking what I was ...
Booom...booom.....booooom in Life
That’s what my head’s doing. A quarter mile or so down the road (and across the 4 lane) a used car lot is having a party. They have a covered slab (no walls) about 75 people, and music pounding...
Christmas and Gram in Life
It’s been 9 years since we lost Gram, and sometimes I feel that loss as sharp as the day I took the call from the hospital. Christmas is always one of those times. Gram loved Christmas, not fo...
Vroom Vroom in Just in Case
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 ...
Catching up - lots of pics in Life
It’s been a long week or so of being sick (a head/chest cold that just won’t let go). I no longer sound like Minnie Mouse and sound more like Kermit the Frog now. I’m better, just well yet. Th...
Happy Thanksgiving!! in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case
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 in Just in Case
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...
Today’s prompt is about your secret desire. Mine has shifted some, over the years. But it’s always circled around a central idea - to become a photographer. For me it’s always about nature. I’ve ...
Nojomo 8 in Just in Case
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...
NoJoMo 6 & 7 in Life
The biggest lie I’ve ever told is . Is there anything you feel guilty about? Is there anything you need to be forgiven for? I don’t know about biggest lie, because I usually don’t make big lies -...
NoJoMo - Catching up in Life
Well, I blew the picture entries, lets see if I can hang with NoJoMo. I am going to catch up in this entry and then do the day by day. If you are looking for their diary it’s at: https://www.pr...
Some pics + my tattoo!!! in Just in Case
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...
OctoPho - Oh no! in Life
Man, I stink at posting lately. It just seems by the time I get home and get everything done, it’s time for bed. Basically, I suck. I do have a couple of pictures. I HATE posting pictures of ...
OctoPhoMo Day 4 in Just in Case
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...
Quick hello in Life
Today was my 2nd day of my “fall break” - which translates to getting the first couple of days of hunting season off. lol I don’t hunt, but I have enjoyed the break! Even better, I made sure I ...
Well that was dumb of me... in Life
I’m always surprised at how long it’s been since I’ve written. I promise it’s not because I don’t want to, or because I’m living some whirlwind life. lol I’m amazed that we are already sending h...
