LOL That #&%!$ doesn't touch me, neither!” 2:25:26 PM 5/20/09 “how do you spell the slang word?” 2:38:57 PM 5/20/09 “Geez a kick to the groin on a little girl?! I think I'd bypass the sub and go straight to the principal.” 3:38:36 PM 5/20/09 “The principal's got a helluva lot going on... the school district is using a sherman tank to make budget cuts left and right. Anywho, once Laurel told me about she didn't really seem to care too much that it happened at all. last edited: 5/20/09 5:11:48 PM” 5:56:38 PM 5/20/09 “i'm tired” 12:56:38 AM 5/21/09 “Good morning, We had a nice hike yesterday and the weather was perfect. Nice views and lots of wildflowers and birdsong out in the woods. I'm off to get my chemo infusions soon. Looks like a good weekend to go fly fishing with the rain we had last week.” 7:32:38 AM 5/21/09 “...good morning!!! ...nice & sunny & warm.... ...okie dokie... ...have a good one!!!” 7:38:17 AM 5/21/09 “Clear and cool with temperature reaching 80 today..............hot enough for me.” 7:48:12 AM 5/21/09 “Bike to work day!” 8:08:40 AM 5/21/09 “5 hours until departure.. West Virginnie, here I come!!!! '32oz” 8:21:11 AM 5/21/09 “'Ural'.... like the mountains? or......... "Y'all".... the contraction of 'you all'. In the DEEP South it can become more like 'Yawl'. Or as they say at the Sailing Club, "We'll ketch yawl later!"” 8:27:39 AM 5/21/09 “The weather reports say there's only a 20% chance of showers for our area. Yet every time I've gone outside to stain the 2x6 boards HPM got, it starts to rain. Dangit dangit dangit! Laurel wants to practice learning how to kick a boy, by the way. Out neighbor kid Hunter said he'd show her how to kick higher, but he was staying away from her.” 9:20:27 AM 5/21/09 “yous guys = y'all” 3:32:13 PM 5/21/09 “I need to start doing yoga to center myself and rid myself of all the negative energy around me. People are so stupid right now. And I'm not even talking about the kids. Well, I got my "pink" slip this week (which came on letterhead, by the way) but I also know I will get called back at some point. There are 3 positions open right now and I'm first to be called back. I just don't want a job in my district. Everyone's got some petty problem to fight over and the kids are certainly getting screwed over in all of it. Not my kind of place. 14 1/2 days of school....it was only 78 degrees in my room today. Hoping for a breezy day tomorrow.” 7:40:04 PM 5/21/09 “Sorry to hear that smiley girl. Losing your job just suks. I got my pink slip by registered mail. I had to go to the post office to pick it up AND THERE WAS POSTAGE DUE. What the hell? I had to pay to find out my lay off date. Suks I tell ya.” 7:43:47 PM 5/21/09 “I'd bill them for the postage.” 8:26:40 PM 5/21/09 “...Good Morning all!!! ...well I survived week one with the 5 & 11 yr old.....cooking 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks...laundry for 5 people...and a sore throat & coughing...1 1/2 weeks to go...altho they are going to the beach with the other half of their family for the weekend....so I get a break.... ...my son is having his first art show this weekend, so I am going to N AL ...Java Jay in Decatur...he has already sold all his pieces....and is moving to Boston to attend Boston Art Institute...woooo hooooo!!!..I should dig out some of his "early" stuff from first grade for him ot display...lol.... ...I hope everyone has a GREAT day....be careful out there on the hyways!!!!!” 5:07:54 AM 5/22/09 Creekdancer “I would have refused to pay the postage due....that way you never got the notice! ;-)” 6:03:42 AM 5/22/09 “wow, this fell off the board for the first time in a long time.” 6:31:26 PM 5/25/09 “It sure did. I didn't want to get up myself today. A power loud power outage at 3 am, followed by cats who decided it was playtime since I was awake didn't help matters today. I'm past ready to go to sleep. Laurel had school today, as a makeup day for a snow day in early March. She was 1 of 6 in class today.” 7:07:02 PM 5/25/09 “That's just crazy! Why didn't they just tack on a day to the end of the year? If enough kids don't show up here the day doesn't count. Hoping for rain today. The baby grass and gardens need it! Woke up to Mr. Wren singing his heart out. I think he's got two nests going in our yard. He better use one of them. I'm a little bit mad at him because he kicked out our chickadees.” 5:05:56 AM 5/26/09 “uh oh... I think any second we're going to have a lightning storm. It got nearly dark within the last couple of minutes and we are hearing distant rumbles. I feel like taking cover under the desk.” 5:20:16 AM 5/26/09 “uuh, I am scared...” 5:23:49 AM 5/26/09 “I think my koi fish are mutants. They love to eat live animals. Yes, I do feed them enough. They've eaten most of the tree frogs that come to the pond to spawn this year. I have to skim out empty bags of skin and bones after they've pooped 'em back out. So far, 21 dead for the year. Yuck. My pond filtration is also full of frog spawn. Yuckers.” 5:47:41 AM 5/26/09 “Lightning..................now frogs!” 6:14:25 AM 5/26/09 “Now I am scared of mutant koi fish too.” 6:15:14 AM 5/26/09 “Did you enjoy the lightning show?” 6:21:00 AM 5/26/09 “Lightning and sound show was brief and brisk. It moved on to the next neighbourhood.” 6:42:58 AM 5/26/09 “...Good Morning!!!!....rain everyday here....but the sun sneaks out...every few hours..... 5 yr old & 11 yr old are back....my cold is better.....and it will be in the 80s all week, so we can go in the pool.... ...HUGS....” 8:12:33 AM 5/26/09 “Div gives great HUGS. It's going to be a boring day sitting around the phone waiting for a serviceman to call with an estimate.” 8:18:47 AM 5/26/09 “Went for a nice little hike yesterday to a swimming hole. Santa Margarita River. Then I searched around for a secluded place to change into a pair of shorts. The water was the most perfect temperature for just floating around. I'd float down to a dam, swim back and float down again. Afterwards I lay myself down on the still hot boulders to dry off. I was so happy I cried. silly. Did I tell you guys that the Boy Scouts are sending me to camp school? On June 6th. I'm excited. :O)” 10:33:17 AM 5/26/09 “Cool!” 11:29:01 AM 5/26/09 “I would have expected you to swim naked, Pammie.” 11:31:10 AM 5/26/09 “i wanted to swim naked, but there were people there, families ya know.” 12:52:11 AM 5/27/09 “damnit! My integrtion bean failed to connect!” 5:49:12 AM 5/27/09 “What sort of bean??” 5:52:39 AM 5/27/09 “Don't ask me. I have no clue whatsoever what an "integration bean" is. It's just the error message I get. Looks like I lost some geo in Riyadh. What a mess.” 5:55:22 AM 5/27/09 “Laurel was one of the few in school Monday...More than 38,000 kids and almost 900 teachers missed school. Yeah, that "take over Memorial day" thing worked out real well. They should have just tacked another day on at the end of the year. We've got yet another day of afternoon storms on the docket. Looks like this weather cycle should end in time for the weekend though. It will be nice to dry out a bit.” 6:44:39 AM 5/27/09 “Perhaps we all could send some rain on down to Georgia.” 6:47:34 AM 5/27/09 “Good Morning!!!!...laundry all finished....and the sun is out for now....for now...lol....in Mobile ya never know what thw weather will be in a few hours... ...we had a small thunderstorm go through last eve..I had a scared 5 & 11 yr old.... ( they have been scared to death of storms since the storm went through North Alabama a while back that dropped 3" hail)...may being down here where it storms all the time will help them get over it.... ...going to take them to the park today... ...I just don't understand why they have school after Memorial Day...our graduation was May 18th...but the other kids are in school until tomarrow...( the 11 yr old had 2 days after Mem. Day...she had a family reunion down here...so she never went back) ...homeschooling was so nice...you could travel & do homeschool BOTH....Holidays didn't matter...ya just took your books everywhere.....” 8:05:03 AM 5/27/09 “I woke up around six this morning. It was raining and making such a nice noise on the roof, I turned over and went right back to sleep. :-)” 8:05:51 AM 5/27/09 “I got myself a stylish I-pod Nano some weeks ago. I loaded a couple of CDs and stuff on it. Now I tryed audio books. I found out that audiobooks are great to make me fall asleep in the evening. Particulare listening to some novells from Jane Austen are guarenteed to make me irresistably tired and doze off within half an hour. :-) And no ill side affects, such as with sleeping pills, I suppose.” 8:42:49 AM 5/27/09 “ok...I'm up....kids are full of grits & eggs & the sun is shining for now.... hugs” 8:19:41 AM 5/28/09 “someone call CPS, div's kids are covered in grits.” 8:21:12 AM 5/28/09 “cps?” 8:24:05 AM 5/28/09 “nevermind....” 8:26:38 AM 5/28/09 “...anyone heard from Nowslimmer lately???” 8:36:11 AM 5/28/09 “Chili has, he is in the hospital.” 12:12:24 PM 5/28/09 “Still in the hospital, or in the hospital again? I remember someone said his daughter told them he was getting out of the hospital in a day or twp, and that was about 2 weeks ago.” 1:33:17 PM 5/28/09 Jump to Page << prev
