1.4792834928 Silly, I really had no idea about the 1/2 day and the day out. But, our school has this new thing where everytime something important is coming up (days out, minimum days, disaster drills, absences that haven't been cleared) a mass phone call goes out to all the parents. Soon as you pick up the phone you hear the prerecorded message. We got the first phone call last night and I looked at the kids and said, "you have 1/2 day Thursday? You're out Friday?" I've gotten so used to the calls I haven't paid much attention to the calendar so all these days out and half days sneak up on me!

1. I am in BIRMINGHAM! It was an OK drive down, but I was very tired.

2. My real roommate is sick. I am staying with an 87 year-old lady who likes to talk and tell her stories at night.

3. That is ok, except when she takes out her hearing aids!

4. I have hives again. I thought that getting all of the grants and papers finished would have made the stress go away.

5. I am wondering why Skootz has closed her pool for the second time???? It was so warm the last two weeks, I wish that mine was open, dang it.

6. I am taking my three students out to dinner tonight when they get here to work at the conference. I just don't think that I prepared them enough for this experience, so I hope that everything is ok.

1. Yesterday, I had my nose cauterized because of excessive nose bleeds.

2. They don't use heat, they use chemicals to burn it.

3. Oh. My. Goodness. It hurt. And still does.

4. I took my hubby to the airport at the butt crack of dawn, so I'm still awake.

5. I go back into the Thursday night teaching rotation today, so it is gonna be a very, very long day.

6. I'm still trying to sell my car.

7. I need sleep. Happy Thursday!

1. Spy, that sounds painful! I hope you're feeling less pain tonight.

2. Kids were mistaken about report cards. Today was the last day of the trimester, but report cards don't come til next Friday. Dang.

3. I keep thinking today is Friday, probably cuz that's when I'm used to the kids having 1/2 days.

4. I've got the best hubby! Darren got home from work, took one look at me and sent me to bed. I'd started a headache about half an hour before he got home, wasn't a migraine but it was pretty bad.

5. He then spent a couple hours playing with the kids to keep them busy, cooked dinner and cleaned up while he was cooking, got Caleb in the shower (he doesn't give Kota a bath unless there is absolutely no choice because she doesn't like him brushing her wet hair, lol,) and read with Dakota. Then he came and woke me up to see if I felt well enough to get up and eat. All of this after working 10 hours today.

6. He could have just ordered a pizza and skipped the shower and reading and I would have understood that, but he didn't.

7. Have to admit after taking some meds and sleeping for a couple hours and then getting up to find everything taken care of, I sure felt much better!

8. Caleb asked me tonight if I'd help him with his bedroom tomorrow. He wants to go through his toys and get rid of the stuff he doesn't play with anymore. Which then led to Dakota asking if I'd help her clean her room, lol. Usually I don't do their rooms unless I'm cleaning the carpet, but if they're going to ask, I'll help

1. Marm, we had to close the pool again because of almost catagory 1 winds last Sunday that blew our cover off

2. We have it covered now, and it looks better than the first time..practice is perfect I guess

3. Today, I am taking Lisa with me to my moms place. We will visit my Grandma and my brother.

4. My brother leaves for Costa Rica on Sunday until next May (if you watched TAR - he lives very very close to Quepos where the pit stop was last week)

5. Took the girls last night to get their Christmas pictures done at Wal-mart - they looked like they will be very nice. We had to wait a while for our appointment then the film ran out so they had to change the roll.

6. The lady felt bad as we had to wait another 15 minutes that she gave us the one package free...so of course I went and spent some more money on the other packages lol

7. Yesterday the weather was cold and we had a few snowflakes in the air

8. This weekend we don't have anything special planned. Lisa will have skating lessons tomorrow and Laura is going to a birthday party. Hoping everyone stays healthy for one weekend

9. Lest we forget

1. Well I have been a very bad friend to you all, real life seems to keep me from the type of communication I've always enjoyed around here. Please forgive me;

2. Spygirl OWIE!! Ouch ouch ouch. Hope you heal fast, girl. Schoolmarm, did you get to stop and see The Divine Miss Granny on your way down to Birmingham? We always stop through in Memphis and have a visit when we get to make that trip. Now that I think of it, we haven't done that in a long time, maybe a year. Time to start driving, I think;

3. I always called my uncles, one a WWII vet and one a Vietnam vet, on Veterans day. They both died a few years back. I miss hearing their voices at the other end of the phone. I need to call my aunts today;

4. Brother is home from Iraq, in time for a bit of fall foliage. He is happily raking leaves, barbequeing on the deck and taking a bit of a breather before heading back to work;

5. We are finally, after months of negotiation, redecorating our master bath (which is only about an 8' x 8' space);

6. The negotiating part came up over the ceiling, which has a skylight. I want Colossus to knock out the rest of the ceiling to create a cathedral ceiling in there (if you can't build out, build up for the illusion of space). Colossus says that will triple the size of the job and he wants treats for the extra effort;

7. I may yet have to wear that "Miss Electra" outfit from Gypsy;

8. We are designing the bathroom around an old, art deco, dark oak fireplace mantle that Colossus is going to turn into a mirror for me;

9. I just got this reproduction vintage poster of the 1923 Russian Ballet for the other wall, setting our theme:

Bailes Rusos

10. Cabinets will be dark oak, countertop light, the walls will match the lightest color in the poster (kind of a dark candlelight leaning toward taupe-y I think), I gotta figure out the draping for the jacuzzi it is hugenormous and I might go after a brocadish look for it. Wood floors - probably a light oak with a bit of a harlequin pattern border;

10.1 Basically I have no clue what I'm doing, but maybe it will turn out ok. I hope. I just want it to be warm, sexy and different from the rest of the house.

1. "Decadent" is a great description for it, RG;

2. Now if only I could get Colossus to wear that outfit in the poster . . . treats a-go-go.

1. GAL, your new bathroom-to-be sounds awesome and so luxurious. I'm jealous of your jacuzzi tub.

2. Ever since our "honeymoon" to Niagara Falls we've been dying for a jacuzzi. Our suite had a huge one and we both loved it so much. I only wish our bathroom was large enough to accomodate one.

3. I'm sick today...was sick all day yesterday too and missed school last night. I have a very sore throat which feels like it may be strep. I had strep throat a lot as a child so I know what it feels like and how to deal with it. I just wish I didn't have to work tonight.

4. My body feels like it was hit by a bus, very sore and achy. We had a lot of "to-do's" set for this weekend to get the house ready for winter but I don't think we'll get much of it done. I hate being sick!

1. I am sitting here just giggling away. Dakota's running around in panties, she doesn't see the need to get dressed since we're not going anywhere.

2. Caleb is sitting here in his boxer and tshirt. He's been sucking on his teeth (which was driving me nutty but now seems half way amusing.) Ever so often he lets out a burp and if it's a really good one he says, "Hey Dakota, did you HEAR that? Hahaha." Competition for the best burp hasn't started yet, but can it be far behind?

3. I'm positive my children have manners, I just haven't seen them today, lol.

4. I got up early this morning and did some work around the house. I'm about to get back to it. My deal with the kids is that they will start their rooms, I will do my work and then I'll help them.

5. I was going to take the day off but I don't have time, lol. Besides, I'd rather have them do their rooms today than anything else.

Happy Saturday Factoiders

1. Had a nice visit with my mom yesterday, she took Lisa, my brother and myself out for lunch.

2. Just before we left for home, Lisa and I popped into see my Grandma for a very short visit. She was tired but still sharp as a tack. Her "official" 99th Birthday is Wednesday.

3. Got the brakes fixed on the van on Tuesday this week, they were really grinding. The mechanic was to check out the ABS as well, however they worked for him fine when he test drove it 2 times. The light has been on now for the past 2 days, I just haven't had time to drive it back to the garage for him to look at again. (figures lol)

4. Nick came home last night and noticed one of the front tires were flat. I know it wasn't flat when I was driving, so I was lucky it happened when I got home and not on the road home (my mom lives an hour away)

5. He took off the tire this morning and is getting it repaired. I was just saying to myself this week when I was at the barn area that I was about the only one in our family that has not gotten a flat tire since the barn fire (there was a lot of nails etc., in the yard from the fire, clean up etc.)

6. I also remember saying to myself after this, that I shouldn't of said that..and now I do believe I shouldn't have lol

Have a great day!

1. i LOVE saturdays! i wish everyday were a saturday!

2. my hand is doing much better. the bruising is almost gone, it doesn't hurt at all, and the weird tingling/painful feeling when i stretch out my wrist is gone too. i do have a teensy bit of numbness in part of my middle finger. i'll ask about that when i get my stitches out somewhere between monday and wednesday.

3. lola is back at 100% now. back to her feisty, rowdy, cute self. i think the iams food is helping. the bag is so big it ought to last her for a long time. we've only gone through maybe 5 small-sized bags of puppy food since i got her in the beginning of march. 4 lb dogs don't eat much. :-)

4. my keith urban tickets are selling on ebay! woo hoo! i was worried about having to eat the cost, but they are actually going for more than what we paid, with 8 hours still left, so i'm hoping they may go for more. someone else is selling seats in the same exact row is asking for something like $170 starting! Oh my heck!

5. i've been waking up with charlie horses in the middle of the night for the past 3 nights! i'm wondering if it's because i've been dieting and not getting as much milk in my diet. but last night i even took some tums for the calcium and a potassium supplement. i still woke up with them, but not as bad. guess i'll keep taking them and hopefully they'll go away.

6. i am hoping to see the movie de-railed this weekend. in our paper it only got a star and a half. it can't be that bad.

7. i got almost 10 hours of sleep last night. i feel GREAT!

happy saturday, factoiders!

5.1 Jbean-My ex swore that what I needed at the moment of a charlie horse was salt. Be careful though-years ago my friend was going through the same thing and it turned out to be a clot-side effect from her birth control pills. She could have died had it traveled up her leg! Yikes

1. I'll do 8.

2. This past Wednesday I met up with Seamonkey and Jinsky for dinner.

3. I've met up with Seamonkey on many TVCH GT's and it was great sea-ing her again (pun intended!).

4. This was the first time I met Jinsky and I hope it isn't the last time - what a delightful TVCHer to meet!!

5. I'm taking a break from picking up all the stuff that comes into our house and never seems to be put away in a timely manner.

6. Next week middle ds turns 22 and I need to pick up a little something to send to him.

7. CocoPop and I compromised about Thanksgiving this year. We'll eat with his family and then go to my sister's (where ALL my family will be) for pumpkin pie.

8. Our two sons will be meeting up somewhere between Indiana and New York for Thanksgiving. I wish I could join them, it's been too many years now that my kidlets haven't been home for Thanksgiving.

2. she flipped and totalled her dad's truck trying to avoid a dog.

3. she is okay...a few bruises and scratches.

4. thank goodness...she is like my own child.

5. DH went to check on his mom. she is 83 and has never been to the doctor in the 23 years i've known her.

6. she is complaining of dizziness and when he talked to her...he said her words were slurred.

7. i know he must be worried to drive to her house(45 minutes away) just to check...she must have sounded bad.

8. talked to my mom...she has to make a doctors appointment too. she said her breast is bruised and sore.

9. thank god i am feeling well...i think both mom's will be needing me this week.

1. I have a feeling GALs new bath do-over will be fabulous

2. My grandbabies went home and I miss them already

3. Jbean needs more potassium. Have a banana!

4. I drove home on a bubble that shook the car all the way. It was just like the last time with the other front tire, so I got a new tire, too.

5. Yikes about Apriljo! I hope there are no problems later on and that she is truly okay.

6. Was wondering who is Stephen Colbert? I saw him on Bewitched and he looks familiar.

7. I also worry about my mother. She has increasingly become repetitive with dementia.

8. I thought it would be easy to do 10 but it's not

9. I enjoyed the day

10. Happy Weekend Everyone!

1. We took the kids to Toysrus and Kay Bee today with notepads. They are so completely different. Caleb wandered around, considering everything he looked at. When he was done, he had six items he really really wants on his list. Dakota ran from one toy to the next, each one exciting in its own way. Her list is two pages long, lol.

2. Going for a walk in the woods today to gather twigs, bark, and such for the winter window box.

3. Had a "Martha Stewart" omelet for breakfast with cheese and sour cream...yummy!

Have a great BBQ lunch, Schoolmarm and friends!

1. I still have my cold but my cough feels better this morning. I may be finally on the mend!!

2. Nicholas comes home from his time with dad today. They went camping in the mountains, I hope he doesn't come home with a cough.

3. Nicholas & I are going to take Eddy some chicken soup that I made in the crockpot. I gave Eddy the cold that I got from Nicholas.

4. I hope everyone is feeling well & having a wonderful Sunday morning!

1. It has been a long time since I last posted here. School is keeping me VERY busy. I still have one more test and 4 more long papers to write by Nov. 25. I will be really glad when this semester is done. I got my registration done for January and my classes will be a bit more fun - all electives.

2. Today DH and I took the boys to the Santa Claus Parade. It was chilly, but great fun.

3. Yesterday I took the boys to the Festival of Trees. We saw all kinds of very beautifully decorated wreaths, Christmas trees, and other crafts. It was beautiful and even my boys had a great time.

4. I can't believe how fast the Ho Ho Ho season is approaching. I can't believe how fast this year is going. I need to get some lists going to organize holiday shopping, parties, etc.

5. I organized all my recipes! I needed a break from studying, so I typed out all my hand written recipe cards onto pages that I put into a binder. I put each page into a page protector so that any spills or mess in the kitchen won't wreck them. It is a job that I have wanted to get done for the last 5 years. It didn't take me all that long, and BONUS - I found recipes I had completely forgotten about! LOL.

1. I'm way behind here.

2. Life is good and scary too. You can read about that in my folder.

3. My daughter turned 23 on Friday and I cooked her dinner yesterday.

4. I won't be having anymore surgeries to correct my female stuff again until it gets worse than it is, but it will have to happen some day down the road. Blech.

5. I'm fixin' to do some crocheting again this season.

6. I beginning to feel a bit giddy over a special man.

1. Sage, good to see you posting! I'll have to check out your folder.

2. I'm late going into work today for reasons beyond my control, LOL. I'll be leaving in about at hour.

3. I am so not ready for Christmas. I don't have the foggiest idea of what gifts to get the people I need to shop for.

4. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving, though. We are having it at my parents' house in the mountains. We haven't had it there in a couple of years and I'm excited.

5. I love the mountains. I feel so peaceful there. They keep me grounded. So does the ocean. It just makes me feel centered and whole, and makes my problems seem like the tiny, insignificant things they really are.

6. We have parent/teacher conferences this afternoon after school and I am contractually required to stay. Ugh. Long day, even with my going in late.

7. Have a good week, everyone. :-)
