Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all are having a wonderful blessed day.

14 years and going...

is how long the hubby and I have been married. Hubby was in the Army and his sister, her husband and I drove to Georgia to pick him up for the Thanksgiving holiday and our wedding. We got home the morning of Thanksgiving and spent the day between his family and mine. The next day we got married at 7:00 pm and hubby was on a plane around 4:00 pm the next day back to Georgia.

Also one year ago hubby and I were baptized. Neither a day we will ever forget. I feel very blessed to have a loving man that supports his family 100%.

Happy Birthday!

Is it Thanksgiving break yet?

Is it just me or what? I am so ready for a school break. Not just because I have been working there alot either. I am ready for a few days with the kids without worrying about homework, tests, going to bed early and everything else that comes with school nights. I just want to hang out and do nothing. I am ready to drag the tree down and watch the kids hang the ornaments on it. Hubby went and bought Wal-mart out of lights last year so he will be busy putting those on the house. I am even thinking about braving Black Friday this year.

Right now all I am braving is my pain. I did a boo boo and forgot to take my preventative meds for my migraines twice and I am still paying dearly for it. I think I finally got the headache gone, now I just have to work the tightness out of my neck and shoulders. It just amazes me how 2 days of no meds has turned my world upside down again. I am going on day 6 and my neck isn't showing any improvement. :(

I am working the next 5 days before our break. 4 of those being 2nd grade. I will let you know how it goes.

Reba Rocks!!!

Tonight was the Reba and Kelly Clarkson concert. My bff Susan and I had a great time. It was our first concert together and I see many more to come.

Oh and how come I am just finding Reba's show that is no longer on TV? I caught it on the other night. So funny! I am now DVRing it every time it comes on. I LOVE me some Barbara Jean! Do you know she's even funnier in person?! Yes, she was the opening for Ms. Reba and Ms. Kelly.

I also found out tonight that tickets for Brad Paisley go on sale this coming Sat.! :)

What to do...

with my son is the question?! Today the boy got his 5th d-hall of the year. 5th d-hall gets said boy in school suspension!! I am at my wits end and don't know what else to do with him right now. 4 week reports come out Thursday and things aren't looking good there either! Anybody out there have any thing we can try?? Please I beg... help!!!

Working

I have been subbing alot lately. I have been enjoying it too. My lunches is now filled with a group of women. The extra money right here at Christmas is super nice too. Next week will be my first time in the Elem. school since I went back to working this year. I am looking forward to it... I will be in 1st grade and then in 2nd grade. They are still so sweet at this age. :)

I am going to do something I have never done before...

I am going to post a picture of my only trick or treater. My son thinks he's to old to dress up for Halloween anymore. I will see here this goes and maybe post more pictures in the future.

So here is Dorothy and her little dog too.

Go there and sign up!

I couldn't not post this... I am such a shoe slut! :)

Why?

I can't for the life of me understand how a person can attack someone so badly and then leave them to die. How can you break almost every bone in ones face and it be called a robbery. Isn't that to personal for a robbery?

Anne Pressly was a beautiful woman. No I didn't "know" her personal but when you see someone on the tv screen almost everyday you might as while "know" them. Her smile brightened my day. You couldn't watch her and be in a bad mood. She was contagious... in a good way. I will truly miss her when I turn on the news.

I am sad, angry, confused, numb and praying to God the person that is responsible for this will be caught. Another beautiful life gone far to soon.

In loving memory

Anne Pressly

1982 - 2008

I made it through!

I did as I promised and was good for my party. Matter of fact I was the last one standing. I even cleaned my floors, the kitchen and did laundry before I went to bed. I had a really great time and I never hugged the toilet. :)

I sure would like to know how many readers I have. I would love to feel extra special today. I wonder how many people I can get to post a comment... come on don't make me cry on my birthday Internet!

Party Tomorrow Night!!!

I am going to try and have another birthday party for myself this year. I will be on my best behavior and not let it turn into last years... http://brandyb.wordpress.com/2007/10/22/update-from-the-light-weight/ I promise not to do shots this year. Now that I am in my 30's I know better. ;) I am going to last all night this year!

Adult tutoring

Monday night the boys math teacher offered parent tutoring for us smart 7th grade parents. I went and I really think I am more confused than before I went lol. She would show an example and I would think OK, but then she would show another and I was like oh no wait how did that happen?! The only thing I did understand was when she said "they can do the work which ever way is easiest for them"... really, cool now when I do know how to do something I can do it my way and see if old school is easier for him to understand math. I know old school math... sometimes. ;) We are meeting again next Monday.

I can't believe it!

Do I have any CSI fans out there? OMG!! That's all that comes to mind on the season premiere.

I worked Jr. and Sr. High School today. I was 2 different teachers today. The one in the morning went OK but one class got loud and just as I was yelling for them to get quiet the teacher walked in. You should have seen their faces when they seen him. After lunch I went to my next room. The first class I had in there got SUPER loud and the teacher next door opened the door and ripped them a new one. You could have heard a pin drop both times. My last class was most of the same students from the first loud bunch. I threaten lives if they got loud on me again. They must believe me b/c they were quiet as mice.

Tomorrow I am working again. I pray she left them enough work. I will only have Sr. High tomorrow... yeah me!

Are we the only ones?

Hubby and I don't see eye to eye on the choices we have for President. I myself don't vote red or blue... I vote for the one I believe in. Not how I was raised but I sometimes don't agree and or like that choice. You know what I mean?! Hubby on the other hand is blue all the way BUT he doesn't vote. I won't even go there right now.

I thought I knew who I was voting for but after watching tonight I am not so sure anymore. I guess I will watch on the 15th and see where I stand. I hate being on the fence this close too!

So how about you? What about your other half? How do you handle this?
