I LOVE SNOW!!!

SNOW!!!!!!!

SNOW!!!!!!

SNOW!!!!!!

OH, how I was wishing for a big humongoid snowstorm to blow in around, say 10 inches tonight! So I wouldn't be able to drive to Pittsburg tomorrow!!

I procrastinated on my social studies unit that is due at around 2pm tomorrow. AAAH! Why? do I do that???
Here I am, I slept 4 hours last night, because I kept hearing something in my bedroom shredding paper, my dog the mouser didn't see "it" anywhere so I finally got to sleep.

I left at 7:15 am this morning and got home at 5:30pm this evening. I ate, took an hour nap and here I am. I have been working for the last 4hours so now it is time to go to bed! I have one page to finish up in the morning.
Nightynite!!!

Shae

This is Shae our mouse catching doggie.

Seriously, today she caught her second mouse in two months!!!

I mention mouse? mouse? and she is running around the room searching. It is hilarious! I would have taken a pic of the mouse, but didn't know if you all would want to see a pic of a dead mouse or not.

LOL!

Oprah

Did anyone watch Oprah today? I am sitting here trying to do homework bawling my eyes out. She had her "pay it forward" guests on today from another show where they all received a $1,000 debit card to do what they wanted to do with the money to pay it forward. OMyGosh!
It is a very good show!

I have a confession

My confession is that I am very, very addicted to.....Diet Coke! I have to have one first thing in the morning and then if I am at home it is like an all day long thing. I guess it is better than smoking but I need to be drinking water or tea or something!!!

Thanksgiving went good. Food was great, and I ate way tooo mucho! I love Thanksgiving food---we had mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, peas, corn, sweet potatoes and sp casserole, charlies chicken hot rolls, cauliflower salad, asparagus casserole--(it is sooo good!) and lots of desserts!

Dad came up from his job and had the holiday with us---no politics were mentioned---and all was good! We went to Quapaw to visit my other grandparents and family and they are all doing good. I got to see my new little cousin, that was born about a week after Trey, so it was a little sad seeing how big he would be now. She is a very cute little girl though!

Hate to run but I am gonna try to do some more homework while watching Nip Tuck, I know, kinda hard trying not to look at Christian. LOL
Hope everyone had a great holiday!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I really hope all goes well tomorrow.
Thanksgiving at our house is usually a relaxing, normal, food-eating, football watching, napping, visiting fun time.

This year I just hope that politics does NOT get mentioned and everything should be ok. We are not eating at my moms this year since we thought dad was going to be away working, we had already had a Thanksgiving earlier.

The last couple of weeks have been very stressful. We (my mom and I) had decided not to mention anything about the democrats taking over the house since my inlaws are full fledged republicans. So after church a couple of weeks ago it has to be mentioned that the "tyrants" had taken over the house, and how Bush has a higher IQ than Kerry. OMYGosh. Who the heck cares what IQ he has. Just because he has a higher IQ, if he does, it doesn't mean he has any common sense, which he most certainly doesn't. :)so there!

Church is just not the place to discuss it. Ya, and I also went and smoked a cigarette as soon as I got home. I hate politics! A little rant there!


Things I am thankful for:
*GOD
*My family
*My boys & husband
*Shae my doggie & Rufus kitty
*First Christian Church
*Friends
*The Carte committee at PSU for granting me permission to continue school
*My health
*Strength and courage to get through this past year
*My second-graders
*My husbands job


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Podunk concert

I also attended the Keith Anderson "Podunk" concert. I saw April there with MWH. It was sooooo freezing! It was a very good concert, I wish we could have gotten closer--since my pics were not turning out and my batteries went dead, but we got there about 5:30pm and stayed until 10:30 when it was over. I was ready to go, it was just way too cold.

I taught my lesson on "Canada" last Friday. It went good, I wish I could have found the book I was looking for, but owell. Me, Linsey and Dustin had to teach our lessons 3 times!!! We have 4 second grade classes and we divided one of them up into 3 classes. We each taught our own class when our supervisor from PSU came to watch. I got a good grade so I was happy! YAY! I have a big project due Nov. 29 and Dec. 5.

I can't settle on a template. The last didn't last very long. I got sick of it really fast!
:-P

CRUD!

Well Crud! I didn't get to vote today!! I am very bummed. But Brad Henry has pretty much won Governor again so thats good with me!
I went to school @ Baxter this morning, and then on to PSU to class and was planning on voting as soon as I got home. I went to Big Lots today since I got out of class early and I hadn't been to Big Lots in about 2 years. I love going there! Anyways I went and then on my way home on main street in Pittsburg, the car decides to die. I call the husband because it is obviously not going to start again. I tried and tried, then finally put it in neutral and started trying to push it to a parking place. 2 girls are walking out to their car and come over to help me, thank goodness! This started around 5pm. Then that leaves me trying to get the hood open. This is no ordinary hood with the little latch under the hood that you pull up. I never can get this one open. So this guy shows up and asks if I need help--thank you guy!! he checks my oil and transmission fluid, and all looks good, he thinks it is my spark plugs. So then my husband can't come and get me because we need some front tires for our other car. He goes to get tires and then gets to Pitt around 7:15 pm. In the meantime I have walked from 7th and Broadway all the way to Braums---around 11 blocks. He picks me up and we finally get home around 8somethingish. I am exhausted. I was supposed to do homework, but I am not. Gotta go iron now-- 5:30 am comes very early.
Oh, and so thats why I didn't get to vote!!!!

Yes, I still watch Nascar!

In my very busy life, I do still watch Nascar!!! I watched for around 3 and a half hours today, cars going round and round and round the track. I used to hate it, I hated the noise, it drove me crazy! Now for the last 2 years I love it!
Tony won again today, it was a GREAT race, it really was! Tony led 278 laps out of 339. They restarted like 3 times near the end, they kept having cautions. I love close races. Tony also won the last race. Sorry I haven't kept you all updated. :) I know, I suck!
Steve and I went and saw a movie last night. We saw SAW 3. It was just as sick as the other two. The language wasn't as bad as the second one, but it was just as twisted as the other two and very bloody.
We went and ate at Fudruckers before we went. I didn't even know Joplin had one until we were passing by. One of our favorite places to go when we go to Tulsa. We then went to Target, which I love. It is a lot more fun though, when you have money to spend. We bought triple A batteries and a thing of Jiffy Pop popcorn, wooohwhee! Today we went to church and I watched the race and did homework that never seems to end. I love our church, our pastor is wonderful!
