Now I'm Crying My Heart Out Over You...

My intention tonight was to tell this funny story about one of my students, but sometimes life gets in the way and I'm not in the story telling mood any longer. Instead I'll tell you about my day. It started off fine, I went to school, did the routine and everything was fine. I decided that I would go and visit my mom and dad after school, because I'm leaving to see my sister in Tennessee this weekend for spring break. We sat outside by the fish pond, and drank sweet tea and I told them my funny story about my students, we had dinner, and I helped my dad with computer issues.

last As I was getting ready to leave my dad handed me two CDs and told me that he thought I might like them. My mom had picked me flowers from the front yard before I left and I had them sitting with me as I drove. Immediately popped the cd into the player in my car. The very first thing I hear is my Uncle Daddy's voice- I lost it. I miss so much hearing his voice, and seeing his face. The whole time I was thinking about growing up with the music, Saturdays were not complete around our house without the usual jam session. I replayed those memories in my head while I was driving listening to his voice, I would not be the way I am today without the music. I surround myself with things that remind me of those times, when I'd mingle around with my friends who were always invited. I never once stopped to think that this could be thetime I heard it. Sometimes it sucks to get older, everything eventually becomes the past and that is at times- so hard to swallow.

Weddings are Exhausting.

This will have to suffice for now. I have a funny story to post tomorrow! I'm too tired now to sit and write it all out. I had to entertain myself while I was shopping for wedding stuff today, I just happened to have a camera.

I am Weary....Let me rest

So I'm still not doing fantastic with the picture thing, but who's counting? I have been battling a horrible hip problem for the last month or so and it's pretty much becoming unbearable. I went to the chiropractor thinking that would be a quick fix, but nothing has worked. Muscle relaxers... Not working. It seems that I have a problem with my SI joint. Here's the deal, every time I am sitting I want to cry. I feel like there is a pair of scissors stabbing my lower back/hip area. If I'm sitting and I stretch out my leg, my toes go numb. Standing and stooping with tiny people all day isn't helping the matter. It's time to go to the bone doctor.... Wish me luck.

Kiss Me I'm Irish!

Ok ok so I skipped a couple of days.... Maybe this portrait thing will be every other day or when I have time. Anyways, here's my newest picture. Happy St. Patricks Day!!! I forgot to take my camera to the bar with me, but that's alright because I probably wouldn't have known how to work it. It was a good night...

Picture 2

Just another day.

#1 as promised...

Alright here is the first of many daily portraits. This was after a long day with the kiddos. It's 7:00 right now and I've already had dinner, taken my shower, and am in my pajamas. Ahh the life I lead.

The Couch Can Make You Smarter...

So today I was sick. I have been battling something this whole weekend, and today decided I couldn't hang out with the kindergartners. Instead I made a nice indention in the couch for more than half the day. It's surprising the things you can learn while on the couch by yourself!

I learned...

1. the sexiest two things about a women in the eyes of a man is her touch and her breasts... Thank you Greg Behrendt.
   
2. that milk probably isn't the best think to drink when you can't breathe.
   
3. the neighbor next door loves to listen to Metallica early in the morning while running up and down the stairs.
   
4. someones missing some quarters. Finders keepers!
5. watching Tyra makes your I.Q. drop a few points.
6. that you'll never fall asleep and forget the pizza in the oven again. The smell stays with you forever.
7. that if you like licorice travel to China, they have a tree that produces a seed that tastes the same. Don't thank me, thank Martha Stewart for that one. I can't take credit.
   

Project 365

OK, I've decided that I'm going to do a little project. Mainly just for fun I'm going to take one photo a day- a portrait- if you will... I'm going to apply one a day to my blog just for the shits and grins. I will start this project tomorrow to let my camera charge and then we'll see how long I can keep this going. Could be fun. Today I'll just post a picture that I have on my computer.



This picture is shortly after Colby proposed. Everybody now: Awwwww!

Da Dumm Da Dummm

This weekend we went to Butler to have our engagement party. I had a blast! We all had so much fun! Colby's mom, Mary Beth, had a Hawaiian themed party and everyone dressed up and had a great time. I am finally getting the finishing touches on the wedding details.

Things done:

1. The wedding will be held at Garden of Dreams.
2. I have a lady helping us with the catering.
3. I picked out the tuxes on Saturday, they're Ralph Lauren....and they're hot!
4. The DJ is scheduled and ready.
5. Invitations were set to print today and will be finished by the 21st of this month.
6. I picked out the flowers for the bouquets today!
7. Cake is ordered.

Now I need to get the girls together to pick out bridesmaids patterns/ or dresses...and we're ready for this wedding!

An Update for my Biggest Fan

So this weekend is almost gone, and I'm finishing up the last loads of laundry as I get ready to tuck myself into bed. The weekends pass by so quickly! Colby and I went downtown today and he took photographs of me- if they turn out well I'll post some of them. It was just for fun, we walked all over downtown and it was FREEZING! They were all shot with black and white film, so hopefully my cold red nose won't show up.

I've decided that for spring break this year I'll be headed to Clarksville, TN to visit Miss Moo, my sister, and my brother-in-law. Stori and I are going to go to Nashville shopping for the wedding. Stori is just going to buy her dress rather than have one made so we'll be doing lots of shopping. I'm excited about having a break, the kids are fantastic, but I am SO tired! It's 10 now so I'm going to get the pajamas on and go to bed.... I feel so old. ;)
