I know....I know......I need to write more often.....

Hey there every one......I hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey day.....my school days off were wonderful!! On Wednesday, I got up and did my mile and a half walk and then went and did some early Christmas shopping and got some great deals on stuff for my sister and nieces!! Then, on Thursday we went to John's dad's house, well we went out to eat at Cracker Barrel and then back to the house. I put up the tree on Friday afternoon/evening, but that was after I got up at 3:30 AM, (yes, you read that correctly) and went shopping with a friend of mine to get the good sales!! It was so much fun!!! I will definitely do it again!! I did get some things, but even after we hit places like Kohl's, Belk's, and the like.....we spent the majority of our time shopping at WAL-Mart!! Go figure!!

We really just relaxed the rest of the wkend......looking forward to Christmas!! I love the trees, and the lights and getting things all decorated up! My fav is going around town looking at house lights on my birthday, after we go out for dinner!

Gotta run for now....

here I am....

Hey all....sorry to not blog in two wks......hectic schedule, papers to grade and my son is driving us nuts!!

All is well. Looking forward to having a few days off....although I still enjoy being with my class and being at school. We did a talent show on Friday....I was in charge....went well.....it was sponsored by the Drama dept. which I head. Good for the student body! Most of the acts were 4-6th graders, but we hand picked a few from the HS....it was fun!

Hope all of you reading this have a very Blessed Thanksgiving and a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas!!

Love to you all,
deb

one more down.....

One more tooth out and I'm not sure how many more to go.....32 teeth minus 3....that leaves 29! My BOY child was having a blast jumping off of our bed onto the floor and had a mishap that landed him face first on the floor and minus a front tooth!! Lots of blood, which he did not like I might add, but thankfully Daddy was there to save the day and clean up the mess!!

It's a beautiful fall morning.....cold, crisp and the leaves are gorgeous!! To all of my friends and family....enjoy God this morning!!

Love to you all,
debbie

This is for Mackenzie....

Hey all.....well, John's team didn't win a game or match at state but at least they made it to the final eight teams in Class 1A!! The team that beat them also beat the number one team in the state, so we didn't feel quite so bad! The girls were nervous and not really on their game until about the end of the 2nd game and into the third game. By then, the other team had already won two games and were on their way to winning their 3rd and final one. We started to sort of get into it and then it was over......I'm so proud of them though! John too! So their season record ended up being 38-15....not too bad!!

I'm glad it's Thanksgiving season! I love it! I love fall and all of the colors!! But Christmas is fun too! Of course, it could have something to do with my birthday being close to Christmas!

All is well here.....just trying to keep up with grading papers and getting report cards done!

Later,
deb
