please read this other blog....

everyone, please click over to Adrienne's blog and check out what she has to say today about the "r" word........

You don't realize it when you say it, but there are many people, children in the world who are considered mentally retarded and it should offend you that people use this word flippantly to describe something stupid that they have done or said.......just read and think about it the next time that word starts to roll off your tongue.....

A Rainy Monday....for sure.....

What a wet, rainy Monday it's been today....but good, because we so need the rain here in SW Georgia! Sorry, I've been neglecting y'all, but there really hasn't been anything of value to write about. Unfortuneately, I'm not quite as gifted as McMama or Angie or Big Mama, but I do enjoy writing something every once in awhile.

I certainly hope everyone is doing well.......only two more weeks till JEB's spring break and three until ours! Then it's all downhill from there till school's out for the summer!!!!

Just wanted to put some pics of JEB on here from last fall. He is doing his best "Roll TIDE Roll" as we were getting reading for an ALABAMA football game.

All is well here in GA! A beautiful, spring day outside.......daddy and son are off washing the van and I'm home ALONE!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Gotta run.....

IT SNOWED IN SW GA TODAY!!

It actually snowed in SW GA today!!! REAL snowflakes!!! Yeah, I'm not lying!!! Too bad it won't stay on the ground so we get a snow day like ALA. will get tomorrow!

Had a fun day, hosting a bridal shower for a fellow teacher/friend. Another teacher's wife and I put it together and it went very well. We had several teachers and spouses come this afternoon and we had tons of food! It was a lot of fun!! They got several really great presents!

Have a great week everyone!

A milestone for JEB

Wow.....JEB really hit a milestone today......first, I had a conference with his teacher at school and found out that he can do some amazing things!! He has figured out how to work a mouse and follow directions to a program on the computer, he actually will sit with earphones on his ears and listen to something like a story (this is a MAJOR accomplishment, he normally throws things like this across the room) and he can do basic phonics with instructions from the computer program. I AM SO PROUD of my little man!! His teacher gave me this website and when it opened up, he climbed up in the chair and started clicking!! I sat here in amazement, watching him do what was asked of him!! Technology is a wonderful thing!!

You know, there are many days that I wonder what he will be when he grows up.....what will he be able to do for himself, or if he will be able to be self-sufficient........all of those questions that most people don't think about but take for granted that their child will be able to do....of course! BUT when you have a special needs child, you really can't take anything for granted. Everyday is a blessing and a special gift from GOD. Every little thing they are able to accomplish is such a HUGE event!

I'm SO PROUD of him......I love him so much!!!

I know.....I know......

Oh, I'm still here.....really. I just haven't taken the time to actually write on my own blog because I've been too caught up reading other people's blogs. Sad, huh??? I know.....really sad!

I hope everyone had an awesome time praising and worshipping GOD this LORD's day. Service was ok today.....we still really miss our ALABAMA church.......but music was good today!

This will be a weird week for us....JEB is out of school M/T/W with half-days on Thurs/Fri. So, Jn and I have to take turns since there is no formal daycare when school is out. Hopefully, I'll be able to scrap a little bit. That would be great!

Have a great week everyone!!

ok, ok, ok....

I know.....I've been slovenly and not posted in a week and a half, but, in my defense, I've been busy!

School has been sooooooo busy, in fact, last Friday I had students in my office, taking tests or a quiz every period of the day!!! I was so busy, I went home with an amazingly huge headache!!!

And then by the end of the week, I'm so tired, I don't want to write anything. PLUS....I've been faithfully working out every day at the gym!

Nothing much happening, but I will ask for prayer for kelly, scott and harper. You can check out her blog and http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ and read updates on baby Harper's progress.

I will write more this weekend....I promise!
