Opps I am late..... Oh well!
Merry Belated Christmas to all my blogger friends. Life in Ohio is going well. Lil man and mommy had a wonderful time Christmas morning. Lil man woke up his uncle and grandma by coming in and shouting' "Santa was here!!!!". tee hee. All of this of course was at the prompting of his pesky auntie, DG!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a prosperous, blessed, and healthy New Year!
HUGS to all!

How many days????
Well, according to Santa's website it's 8 sleeps. ROFL
It's finally the week before Christmas. Has anyone not started their Christmas shopping? I'm raising my hand!! LOL
3 days and a wake up for me until Christmas break starts. I remember when we use to get two full weeks off. Now, I have a week, and 2 days (9 days). What is up with that? I am counting just school days mind you! I don't count the weekends b/c we already have those days off. LOL
My students so need more time off. They are off the scale as of Friday! I think we all need a break!
Have a great week. My next blog will probably come from Ohio where I am visiting DG, aka lil sis, and the family!
HUGS to all!

I know it's been 18 days since my last post, but hey, I do have a life ya know? LOL
Anyway, school has been crazy, lil man is driving me even closer to a cliff, and I have only 2 days to teach this week!! I am very thankful for the timing of Thanksgiving. LOL. My students have been totally off the wall (ok, not all 42 to them, but seriously it seems like it!). I have one student who is insistent on getting in the last word no matter what is being said. Another thinks he's some kind of animal and has to make noises while I teach. I mean give me a freaking break; they are in 5th grade. I know I have heard that times have changed.... REALLY? I couldn't figure that one out. Just ask DG, or SKI, how things were back in school and how our parents would have killed us for talking to a teacher like my students talk to me. There is no respect anymore for any adult in authority. I just don't get it?
BTW, hey DG, have you ever put your number on the DO NOT CALL LIST? It works wonders. But, I see that you have remedied your problem already. I hope they do not call back for the sake of not getting a butt chewing by you! :) LOL
At last my two favorite teams won this weekend~~~ GO VOLS!! and GO BUCKEYES! I am glad the Bucks put a hurting on Michigan. Next weekend, the Vols take on the KY Wildcats. I am not too wild about them traveling to Lexington. Especially since KY was beat again this weekend.
I want to leave you with one last thought. If you fight with God, you will lose in some way, shape. or fashion.
That was the message our pastor gave today.
HUGS!

Sunday is Veteran's Day in the USA. Please remember those who fought for the freedom you enjoy today, both the living and non-living veterans! Even if you don't support the war, please support our troops. They are keeping those who want America to fall out of our backyards!
My grandfathers and husband's grandfather fought in WWII. They are no longer with us, but I remember them on their day for the sacrifices they made so many years ago. Our troops need our support now more than ever. Please don't forget them on this, their special remembrance day!
Hooah!

Another year older
As I sit here and think about the past year, I wonder just how many lives have I touched or how I lived my life over the past 365 days. I know that being a teacher has its advantages, but I don't know sometimes if I am really reaching anyone. Why you ask? I guess the fulfillment I once felt isn't there anymore. Maybe with my husband gone, and me being the only parent around has something to do with it? Then again, maybe not.
I just wonder, am I being the best I can be, or is there something out there calling me to do bigger and better things. I just don't know.
Lately, I have been second guessing my life's career move. Don't get me wrong, I like what I do and I feel I am good at it, but I don't feel the inspiration as much as I use too. That was until this school year began 2 months ago.
This year, I am in a terrific school, with an awesome administrative team, with great teachers of all types. I feel more at ease then I have in the past year. My school is pretty cool. We have only 4th and 5th grades at our campus. Pre-K -3 are on another campus. What is neat is the principal is over both schools. Pretty neat huh? She is awesome and very supportive. She stands behind her teachers and gives us the best working environment one could ask for. My students are ok. There are some, like with a lot of students these days, that are so lax in their work ethics. They don't care if their homework isn't finished, or if they don't turn something in on time. What the heck ???
Don't they realize that when they get to be my age that there will be deadlines, that meetings need to be attended, that they may have to go out of town on business? If they don't, they can and will lose their well paying jobs. Well, that's if they go to college and spend a couple thousand to go to a good school. I am frustrated with parents who think their "Johnny" can do no wrong. That they are perfect. HA! My mom knew we weren't perfect and that was back in the late 70's and 80's. Just ask her. LOL!
I guess I am trying to say that I wish parents took more interest in their children's lives and made sure they were doing better then they did while they were growing up. I don't want to see our great nation going down the tubes, all b/c parents just don't give a darn anymore.
Anyone agree or disagree? Let me know!

18 and gone :(
Well, hubby's 18 days are now complete and he's heading back to work. It was good having him here event hough it was a short visit. Lil man and I are off school today so that we could take daddy to the airport. It was nice to be able to sit with him at the gate. Now, we have another 7.5 short months until his return. I can only hope they fly as fast as the first 7.5 did.
Lil man and I will be hanging out today and getting ready for an early day tomorrow. I have a field trip with my students toOld Salem, NC . We have to be at school at 6:45 AM! That means lil man arising around 5:45. That's 30 minutes earlier than normal. (think of me when I have to wake him in the AM). LOL
I hope all is well with my blog friends. Hopefully all your teams won this weekend. I know my favorite college team did!!!! Hubby was excited that the Dallas Cowboys won in great fashion last night!BTW GO INDIANS!!!!!! . They beat the New York Yankees last night! tee hee
Well all, have a great rest of the week!

The first week is on the books
Well, the first week is down in the books. It was a pretty good week I might say. The only thing that totally bit was that Lil man got sick this morning and we didn't get to school. BUMMER!!! Anyway, I am hoping that he gets to feeling better soon. He's not a very happy camper.
A holiday weekend this weekend, so that means I am cleaning up the house and getting ready for hubby to come home for his break. I know lil man will love to see him and so will mommy!
I want to wish everyone a Super September!!

They're coming to take me away ha ha; They're coming to take me away ha ha... to the funny farm!!!! ROFL
This is me because my lil man is with his grandparents and his Auntie DG!! Sleeping in hasn't been this much fun since high school or college!!! I do feel for them b/c he's been a bear off and on.
On other news, I have an interview today for a new school. I am hoping that I am able to work there or somewhere other than where I am now. I really need a change. Something better for me! Keep your fingers crossed.
Big man is still out of town for work. It's really taking the toll on my lil man. I just wish he could talk to his daddy more, but that's impossible because of what his job entails right now. :(
Happy Fouth of July to all!
Hugs to all!!

Well, here in the states today would actually mark TAX DAY! The day that all good
American ladies and men would send in their tax returns for the previous year. Thankfully, the beloved IRS saw it fit to extend it by a couple days b/c the 15th falls on a Sunday. So, those of you who are procastinators like myself- mine are actually done and sent in already this year!!!, please get those pesky things done and postmarked before midnight Tuesday your local time!
** Now back to your regularly scheduled blog...**
Today is a mixed bag day. Sun, clouds, rain, and your occasional wind blast. Went to church today for the third week in a row!! I am proud of myself. Today they invited me and lil man to lunch. It was good to talk to other adults finally!
Today is also known as Humor Sunday. The celebration of God's huge practical joke on the Devil. God allowed his son to be crucified and buried. One the third day he arose from the dead. Satan thought he won on Friday, but was discouraged on Sunday when Jesus arose.
I haven't seen the doctor yet about my CT scan, but when I do I will let all of you know.
Lil man is doing well. He's getting so big. He's so smart too. When I ask him what day we go to church? He replies, "Sunday!" Some 4 year olds don't know exactly which day it is, but he does.
Well, that's all folks!!
A basket for a building? I have and it's cool too!
These were some interesting places that were featured on AOL as buildings that weren't normal by any means. ROFL
I hope you enjoyed my "Have You Ever Seen?"
HUGS
Well, I am on spring break!! YEAH! Lil man is going to school part time while mommy is able to do errands, doctors appointments, etc. The weather is great (for now) and I am getting things done around the house! GO ME!
On Wednesday, I have a CT scan, gotta see what's going on in the abdomin. We shall see.
Well, have a great week!
Happy Valentine's Day Comment Graphics
Probably won't be online as much. Hubby is leaving over the big blue ocean. Keep him and our military in your prayers. Thanks to all who support our troops and their mission. You can not do either alone; they go hand in hand. Lil man and I will be holding down the fort as they would say. Write or post. That way I know you are thinking of us!

Go marching into the NFC Championship game. I still can't believe that the Saints are going to be in the NFC Championship game tomorrow. It's hard to believe I know it's true! Just a year or so ago, they almost lost their home to Hurricane Katrina and to those who were left behind to stay there during the storm. Thankfully the Super Dome was saved!
It's great news for the State of Louisiana. Maybe they will be in the Super Bowl. That would really be the NEWS OF THE DAY!
I am rooting for them only b/c I do not like the Bears. The other team I am rooting for is the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game. They are playing the Patriots and I feel the wealth needs to be spread. They have already been to the Super Bowl. Let another team gleam in the lime light.
Well, those are my ramblings.
Have a blessed weekend!
Well, at least it's catchy. School starts next Monday for my lil man and myself. I can't believe he's going to Pre-K. SNIFF! :( I have been in meetings for the past 2 days and I am going crazy b/c my room is no where near ready. I basically have 8 hours to be done! HELP!!!!!
On a better note, lil man is getting excited, yet apprehensive about going to his BIG school. He told my friend today that he didn't want to go to the big school. He liked his little school. Well, I can't help him there. I guess I am upset too b/c I will not be able to walk him to his classroom on his first day of school. Bummer. I drop him off so I can greet my students on their first day of 5th grade.
Well, I will post more when I can. BTW Football season is gearing up too!!!! GO VOLS and GO BROWNS!!!!

Trip to Ohio and HOF!!
I figured I would post the long awaited pics of my trip to Ohio so that Gareth didn't eat himself into oblivion on popcorn!!! LOL
Well, I am not sure what to make of this mountain, but it does look kinda like..... well you use your imagination. It's in North Carolina
Next, I had to go past the capitol building in Charleston, WV. It sure looks like a capitol building!!!
My trip consisted of me visiting a few old friends, seeing my grandmother, going to the National Ribs Burnoff at the fairgrounds (DG and I sampled some really good pulled pork sandwiches,cool strawberry smoothies, and I had some New Orleans cuisine that I missed so!) , and catching up on some rest (yeah right my little man kicked me every night!! )
Then, on Saturday, August 4th, we, attended the Hall of Fame Grand Parade. Here are a few things we saw during our almost 2 hours of standing..... next time we get there a little earlier and find some grass to sit down on! Right DG??
The greatest football players are why everyone was in Canton for this past week. This is an annual celebration of the greats of Professional football.
I never saw a pickle fly.
Oscar the Grouch came flying by too!!! Wonder if his elephant is in that trash can?? hmmmmm
Now, I finally have proof that pigs do fly!!!!
DG and some really cute lil boy!!!!
That same cute little boy with his mommy. Wonder who they are???? They look really happy!!
After the parade, DG, my son, and I left for glorious home and went swimming later that afternoon. I had a great time at home and hope to be able to do it again!!
This is the famous place that all football greats want to end up. This is a great place to visit if you love football. There are now 16 of my beloved Browns now enshrined in Bronze here!
Here's a list of enshrinees..

The Coors Light Silver Bullet came to town. But it didn't bring those wonderful cool breezes and frost like in the commercials. I also didn't receive a Coors Light sample either. I was really bummed.

Blah-
I love summer weather, but the humidity doesn't like me. Today I have felt very yucky. My stomach is aching and head is spinning.
Anyway, I get to go home to Ohio next week. I can't wait to see my little man! We're going to go to the Pro-football Hall of Fame festivities!! I can't wait. It's been 7 years since my last time to go to the festival. Pro Football HOF
Look for yourself to see what it is all about. :)

Surgery and Such
Well, Wednesday was the big day. I had a diagnostic laparoscopy done on my abdomen. Things looked good to the doctor and he didn't find anything terribly wrong with me. He did find some scar tissue and got it out of the body!!! YEAH!!!!
My parents are here taking care of me and lil man. Glad for that b/c Wednesday night was horrible.... couldn't get comfortable, couldn't get the gas out of the body, and I hurt everywhere!!! I would have been a wreck had they not been here.
Today I think we're going to downtown to look around. I think it will be fun! We shall see.
Hope all is well with everyone and have a great last week of June!

Prayers please
Today I found out that one of my students, whose name will not be mentioned, was rushed to Duke University Hospital earlier this week. She is suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia, and she's been real sick this school year. She has missed a ton of days. It's been really bad.
I am upset because she's a beautiful young lady and has a loving heart. She wants to grow up to be a doctor of Sickle Cell. I applaud her for wanting to do so and I hope she will have the chance to succeed.
Please offer your prayers and thoughts for this young lady. I know her family would really appreciate it and I will too.

One plus month down!
Well, one month plus down, 10-12 more to go. Hubby is gone downrange and he's doing well. Being a pain in the rear is a nice way of putting it. Why do men always have to think they are superior to us eventhough they totally stink at some things. (** not all men are included here**)
I just wish that one day here in the next two or so weeks, he will totally wake up and smell the coffee. Those who know the situation understand. If you want to know, let me know and I will e-mail you.... depends... if I am up to it or not. hehe
Anway, today was a beautiful spring day and lil man and I went to an Easter Egg Hunt!! He had a blast. The temps were nice and the sky was filled with sun!! I am so happy to see Spring!
After the next 4 days, I will be on Spring Break!!!!! Ah, can we say relax!!!

Another day in Paradise
YEAH RIGHT! Today was my first day back in a week. I had that awful nasty flu or something. Being dizzy and light headed was not fun and I hated it! Tomorrow will mark that big man has been gone a month :(. There are some unfinished feelings I have been sorting through b/c this is a long separation and I can't really talk to him when I wan too.
Communication has been good so far. He's tried to call when he can, but I really worry about lil man and his missing of his daddy.
School today was fair. I ended up with a killer headache. UGH! Wish it would go away!!!!
Well, ya'll have a great week!

The first week
Well, the first week is almost over and I got through it with only crying a few times. This morning being one of them, Thanks daddy for helping!!!.
Things are ok here, just trying to get use to being the only parent. UGH! School stinks b/c my students just don't want to do homework. I have never had such a problem with homework not getting done. It's like pulling teeth.
Anyway, I will be here off and on. Stop by and leave a message. They make my day bright! Have a good week everyone!

Probably won't be online as much. Hubby is leaving over the big blue ocean. Keep him and our military in your prayers. Thanks to all who support our troops and their mission. You can not do either alone; they go hand in hand. Lil man and I will be holding down the fort as they would say. Write or post. That way I know you are thinking of us!

Oh When the Saints.....
Go marching into the NFC Championship game. I still can't believe that the Saints are going to be in the NFC Championship game tomorrow. It's hard to believe I know it's true! Just a year or so ago, they almost lost their home to Hurricane Katrina and to those who were left behind to stay there during the storm. Thankfully the Super Dome was saved!
It's great news for the State of Louisiana. Maybe they will be in the Super Bowl. That would really be the NEWS OF THE DAY!
I am rooting for them only b/c I do not like the Bears. The other team I am rooting for is the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game. They are playing the Patriots and I feel the wealth needs to be spread. They have already been to the Super Bowl. Let another team gleam in the lime light.
Well, those are my ramblings.
Have a blessed weekend!

It's 2-007
When listening to the radio this morning, I realized that the DJ was pretty lame. The reason? They were debating why in Las Vegas were they using 2-007 as there theme. Well, they were celebrating -007 (James Bond). I thought it was pretty cool advertising, but while listening I could see why they thought it was lame too.
Anyway, we went back to school on Tuesday. So far, my kiddos are doing OK. I am just tired and not really wanting to go into school yet! LOL. I was actually enjoying sleeping in!
Things here in NC are going well. Lil man was spoiled for Christmas, and I enjoyed being home w/ him.
Have a great week and weekend.
Happy 3 Kings Day to my Puerto Rican friends!!
