“The Summer of George”

Since my sister and mom will have all the “Jordan stories” now because he’s in Indy til July, I’ll be linking over to them a lot.  This post from my sister made me laugh.  So typical of Jordan.  He has SO much personality. =]  I’m sure everyone says that of their kids though, don’t they? 
My [...]

Indy Bound

Well, Jordan is off to Indy.  I waited until I saw the plane take flight before I left the airport.  Actually, I made a beeline to the restroom and sat in the stall and cried for about ten minutes.  THEN, I left the airport.  He was completely fine.  He had a look in his eyes [...]

To All You Phenomenal Women Out There

I want to share my most favorite poem that happens to be by one of my most favorite authors/women:
           “Phenomenal Woman”  by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size.
But when I start to tell them,
they think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of [...]

Summer Has Begun

Jordan leaves tomorrow afternoon for Indy.  It finally all worked out.  He would’ve been heart-broken if he hadn’t been able to spend some quality time with our family this summer. 
I had a second interview at Border’s last night, and hopefully will be working at the one near my house.  I will have summer school during the [...]

Hide the Victoria’s Secret Catalogs!

More evidence that my son thinks he’s older than he is.  We went into a local grocery store yesterday to pick up a few things.  Jordan wanted to stay by the checkout stands while I walked over to the produce department; that was fine with me since he wasn’t really out of sight.  I grabbed [...]

School’s Out!!

I am sure if you listen closely you’ll hear the resounding “Hallelujahs” across the nation (well, for the ones who are out now) from tired and weary teachers who get a little time off.  Poor people like me don’t get to take the summer off…I am teaching summer school, but I do get a week off [...]

An Emotional Rollercoaster

I have a million things to share.  Well, maybe just two or three.  Yesterday I was upset over the news about my sister…as I type this, I think she is probably at the doctor getting the ultrasound to determine what’s going on with her girl parts.  I pray that I get some great news from [...]

Irresponsible

I am irresponsible. About my health.  I think that because I am pretty physically healthy (except for needing to drop some lbs) I don’t need to do preventive maintenance [notice I didn't say mentally healthy...I know I have issues!!! lol].  My blood pressure is perfect…my LDL/HDL cholesterol levels are fine…I just had blood work done [...]

Push and Shove

Jordan sustained yet ANOTHER busted lip yesterday.  This one is pretty substantial.  He didn’t run into a pole this time, thankfully.  I think he wants his baby teeth gone…that’s my theory =]   He wants to cash in on this “tooth fairy” gimmick he keeps hearing about.  LOL  This time he and some of his little buddies were [...]

Random Thoughts (to steal Vicky’s title)

Friday night Jordan’s second mommy, Lisa (we love you, Lisa!!!), had a little sleepover at her place.  Parents got to have a night off, so it’s money well spent.  She does this every few months or so.  Jordan got to spend time with some of his old buddies that used to go to Lisa’s with [...]
