well, day three of vacation hasn't been too bad, but JEB is sick. Yucky nose, yucky poops, coughing, breathing fast and heavy......sinus, I think, but its not gross green yet. Time will tell. So I must prepare myself for not much sleep tonight.....which is what the past two nights have become....not getting much sleep. Don't know what that's all about, but I'm quite tired of it already! Hopefully, we won't have to do the dr., but I may have too. Sometimes, he just needs a good 10-14 days of drugs to clean out his system.
I am getting those papers graded, slowly but surely and have been catching up on all of my DVR'd shows. I actually washed the rugs today! I was quite proud of myself.
Well, the sick child calls......

SPRING BREAK!!
Well, we're out for 11 days.....JEB for only 9 of those, since he has school on Monday/Tuesday after Easter and John and I don't. Monday was a regular day off...I guess since we usually get Good Friday off and this year its part of our break, they gave us an extra day off. Can't say that's a bad idea. Then both John's homeroom and the 5th grade won an extra day off because we brought in the most money in our division for the annual penny drop at school to help with the cost of the Athletic banquets at the end of the year. The 5th grade class has never lost, since they were in 1st grade. Not a bad streak if you ask me....especially since this was my year to win.
All in all, it will be a good break....I think. If JEB would get potty trained....I'm so over changing him. He'll go in the potty whenever I take him, and occaisionally tell me ahead of time that he must pee.....but poop?? Not on your life! So next week, I'm going to work on that diligently! I'm trying to muster up the will to really do a big cleaning, but that one I'm really struggling with. Cleaning is not my thing....I only do it because I get tired of looking at the dust bunnies!
I have a LOAD of papers to grade and catch up on, so that will be my primary focus. Plus maybe blogging some more.

I'm back.....
Hey everyone.....sorry I've been away from the blog for awhile....things have been busy. Actually, I've been reading others but not taking the time to write in mine. Sorry to Mackenzie and Ginger and Robbie who actually keep up with me, just haven't felt like taking the time until today.
Not much going on really....well, that's not entirely true. We are job hunting again. We've been where we are for three years and actually I was hoping for one more, but God has other plans. So, I've been preparing my resume and sending some out to other local Christian schools, knowing that most probably haven't even handed out contracts yet, but I thought and hoped that maybe if I get a jump on everyone else and maybe have my stuff be one of the first resumes that they see maybe I'll get a call sooner. John has a couple that he will be sending....although we are praying for a different solution to his job situation.....that OUR school would get up and running. We have been praying about starting our own school in the area, out where there isn't anything, but its the up and coming area. Everyone is moving out that way now, so its showing lots of potential!
JEB is doing great. Only two more weeks until Spring Break!! I'm also in full swing with this year's drama production and loving it! So hopefully I'll have more time after all of that!

can you believe its almost MARCH???
Well, here we are on the 18th of Feb.....this month has gone so fast. We were out of school today and we went to PaPa's house in Cullman. Not a bad trip....went out to eat and then back to the house. Hung out for a little while then came home. I spent most of Saturday and yesterday doing grades since report cards are supposed to go out on Wednesday.
John and I determined today that we were going to make every concerted effort to lose weight over the next few weeks and stick to a menu for dinnertime....yeah, we'll see how long that lasts. I do super great during the week, but the wkends are the hardest for me. I don't really go overboard, but I get off my weekday schedule, plus I do think it helps for me to have something to do all day. Keeps my mind off of food....sometimes I don't even really think about eating until its dinner. Anyway, we'll see what happens. I really want to exercise and walk.....just can't seem to get motivated about it at night though....I need one more hour in my mornings.....maybe I should join a gym. Then maybe I'd feel bad about spending the $$ and I'd go simply for that reason!!
Oh well....everyone have a good week!

here I am again....
Wow.....two days in a row.....I think I must be ill. Actually, its because I am all caught up with grading my papers which in and of itself is a miracle and we were going to Cullman but decided not too because John had a really bad sinus headache. So, I actually have time on my hands! WOW!
Plus I'm super excited about our vacation this summer....we are really going on one! We were planning to go to Disney, which is probably one of my favorite places in the whole world! Mickey/Minney/Tigger/Country Bear Jamboree.....you just can't beat them! And Space Mountain is phenomenal!! And then there's Cinderella's Castle and Pirates of the Carribbean! You'd think I was 10! But Walt really outdid himself! Anyway, we decided to wait until Christmas Break because it would be cooler and we would enjoy it more. So we then started talking about Gatlinburg, which we used to go visit all the time before we started our galavanting all over the country back in '94. As we started planning and looking at places to stay and things to see.....well I just got so excited!! It'll be great! The first week of June will be nice and cool still in the evening there in the mountains! I'm totally psyched!!
Ok, enough for now....just wanted to talk about how cool it is to plan a fun vacation! Have a great day everyone!

John's birthday....
Well, he's arrived! 45 and counting.....although he continues to tease me mercilessly about the fact that I'm still two yrs. older than he is!! Oh well.....life goes on! Yesterday was John's official birthday and we both took the day off to celebrate. We actually just went out for breakfast, did our regular Wal-Mart shopping run....while his car was being serviced....you know, oil change and new front tires. Then we came home and spent the afternoon doing some little things around the house that we just can't seem to get done with JEB home. Of course, he was at school like all good little 7 yr. olds should be on a Friday afternoon.
Not much really going on here in Alabama....although it was a gorgeous day yesterday. Somewhere in the upper 50's/lower 60's and not a cloud in the sky!! God really knows how to put on a show, huh?? And the moon last night was neat....just the tiniest sliver showing, and with all the stars.....oooooooooweeeee!!
I hope all of you are gearing up for being sweet and civil to your sweeties for Valentine's Day. Although trying to convince your hubby that you'd just rather have more STARBUCK's dollars on your STARBUCK's card instead of candy and flowers isn't proving to be that easy!
Oh well.....life goes on......till next time,

another week past....
hey all.....not much happening around here....well, that's not quite true. It's supposed to be pretty nice for the next few days here in Alabama! And we are starting our spring play auditions at school next week and I'm psyched!! I love doing the drama stuff!! We are doing a comedy based on the old Cary Grant movie...."Arsenic and Old Lace". In it, Cary Grant is the nephew of these two old spinster aunts and crazy uncle, who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. Anyway, they are killing off old men who rent a room in their home because they are feeling sorry for them since they are so lonely! Cary Grant finds out and tries to have the uncle committed because he's killing men off! Our play will be about the two old spinster ladies who rob casinos and hide the loot in the basement, where it is buried by crazy Uncle Charlie, who is certain he's Jack Sparrow's missing sibling!! ARRGH! Mateys! It's going to be a blast and I'm so excited about getting started on it!!
Have a great GroundHog day!!
