Meet the kids in Life
My traditional back to school entry. I’m ashamed that it’s almost a 6 weeks in. This year is FLYING! CB - a sweet girl, with some great parents. Always a nice addition! JB - sigh this girl.... I ...
I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to come in and write an entry. :( I come in often to read y’all, I just don’t write. (Ok, so I know that part of it is, that to write I have to come in her...
The Makers of Windows 8... in Just in Case
...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 in Just in Case
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'...
Babysitting a bear in Life
I got a call Thursday asking me to volunteer at the zoo to watch the new Andean (Spectacled) Bear, Manny. I explained that I had removed myself from training last year for personal reasons, so I...
Homes 1 and 2 in Life
My classroom is getting there. I'm going back tomorrow, but will be getting ready for a presentation that I got suckered into on Tuesday. (Presenting 4 sessions at a technology conference. I w...
New Orleans in Life
I was only there a couple of days and I really didn't get to explore much. The hotel was very nice: (I don't usually take bathroom pictures, but a dual shower head, great pressure, and lots of ...
And I'm Off Again in Life
I'm headed to New Orleans tomorrow. I love that place (for short visits). It's gorgeous and has so much history and culture. It can also be freaky scary, more so lately. (I'm NEVER out at nig...
Houston Trip #2 in Life
And, just over a week later - I was back in Houston. lol It was a really busy and eventful week. I'm so glad I got to go. Between budget issues and the fact that I'm from Louisiana (and they l...
Houston Trip #1 in Life
Since I never posted about it, I figured I should share about the short trip I took with my Mom and Cbaby. We had a good trip over, at least until we hit traffic in Houston. It was pretty bad a...
Still here in Life
I can't believe how long it's been since I've written. I've pretty much kept up with everyone's diaries, just haven't written here. I just got back from a weeklong workshop at NASA and it was ama...
Hitting the road in Just in Case
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...
It 2:50 A freaking M in Life
And I'm awake....just wanted to let y'all know that. I always hit this point every summer. I don't sleep. I'm exhausted, but I don't sleep. I don't sleep late. I just stay up forever. Dum...
Coward in Just in Case
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...
Another loss in Life
It seems like all my entries lately are sad or mad. I guess that's the only time I seem to make myself sit down and write. I'm working at a fishing camp this week. Two of my kids came, I was s...
I was skimming facebook while I talked to Bubba tonight. He’s headed out on the 12 hour drive to his new job tonight and I’m his traditional chat buddy on these long drives. When he gets tired ...
Catching up in Life
I keep coming here to write and I don't. I read and note, but never seem to get anything written. It's been summer vacation for just over 2 weeks and it's been pretty hectic. I'm just going to ...
I saw them - or spots - or flashes of light, whatever you want to call them. I had stopped at a gas station to grab a drink for a long drive south. I had gotten to our meet up point a couple of...
Some people.... in Life
I need to do my traditional end of year entry, and I will, but right now Cbaby is with me, so I'm going to keep it short. I really am writing to vent. I make no secret about how I feel about my...
Lots to tell, but going in too many directions to write a proper entry right now. For now, here's the pictures I promised of the tree that finally fell.
The weekend in Life
There was a lot going on this weekend, but I'll tell most of the story in pictures. (Which means I have a lot of pictures and I'm just too lazy to type it all out right now. lol Saturday was Cba...
The day I saved a life in Life
Feel good entry here. Frustrating entry back that way. <--- I didn't want to mix them....ewwwww Well, almost. When we went out to recess I was talking to one of the kids when suddenly I h...
And the crap just keeps coming... in Life
Literally.... Crappy landlord is here fixing the crappy plumbing. Saturday I was washing dishes and had just drained the sink when the smell hit…I knew what it meant and turned to the bathroom t...
Riding the ride in Life
And the rollercoaster ride continues. Bubba went back to Lucy less than a day after swearing he couldn’t go back ever again. Literally I could pound somebody’s head against the wall. I don’t k...
Here we go again in Life
Things with Bubba have taken a turn for the worst. He left Lucy tonight. It apparently has gotten really bad and he hasn’t told us. She’s been drinking heavily. And, she’s been seeing her old...
