I am a slacker

I know it has been FOREVER since I have written anything. I have no excuse, except I am a total slacker.  (At least I admit it)  Let's see, what has been going on since my last blog.  I am sure a lot has happened, but I can hardly remember.  This weekend was restful and nice. Brent and I went to eat with Mom and Norval Friday night at Toots.  Then Brent and I went on the hunt for Rob Zombie's Halloween. (we couldn't remember the ending) No one seemed to have it to rent so we had to buy it.... oh well, I guess we can watch it anytime we want now! LOL  Then Saturday, we relaxed a did a few chores, then we went to the Theatre to see Rob Zombie's Halloween 2.  The original Halloween 2 is my all time fav  horror flick and this was not even comparable.  It was ok, but it was VERY weird.  Not even a little scary!  oh well!!  Then today I did a few more chores, finished reading Tori Spelling's book, Mommywood, made some homemade soup, and watched Lifetime! LOL What a day!  I guess this will be another exhausting and long week.  We are going to South Carolina on Saturday to watch MTSU's opening football game against Clemson. That should be fun! I cannot believe it is football season again already!! Wow, time flies!  I guess we will be busy until Thanksgiving! LOL  

That's all for now. I think I will go lay in bed and read some of my new book, My Horizontal Life, by Chelsea Handler. Supposed to be hilarious! I guess we'll see! More to come!

Busy, busy, busy

Let' see.... since my last post.....

1.  Had a very sad and difficult goodbye party for Taylor Bug.  I do not know what I will do when I have kids going to Kindergarten or leaving for college. Taylor is not my kid and it just about broke my heart! We are so proud of her though. Jim and Laura got her all settled into the dorm yesterday. She has already started sorority stuff.... she's only been there a day! WOW! I know she will do wonderful things in life, but it sure was hard to watch her go!!  watch out UT!

2.  Friday night, we went to Tomato Tomato with My Mom and Norval. It is one of our favorite places and it officially closed today! We thought we would go and get one more yummy dinner 1st. And it was yummy..... hot country ham dip, PBR fishbowls, greek salad, and yummy gourmet pizza. Now where will we go for great gourmet pizza??  Then Brent and I rented a couple of movies and came home. We watched Beyonce's movie, Obsessed.... it was good in a Lifetime kinda way!

3.  Saturday, I slept later than I have slept in ages..... 10:00. I was totally rejuvenated and on a role all day!! Brent and I mowed the yard and cleaned the lawn mower.  Then we spent several hours cleaning (desmoking) his car.  It took a lot of scrubbing, but you cannot tell he ever smoked in it. I guess he is a for sure non smoker now!  Good for him!!  Then we showered and went and had his tires rotated, went to Sam's, PeiWei (YUMMMMM), Publix, and Brent even got a hair cut. Then I got home in time to scrub up my house.  Still enough energy to watch the new Fast and Furious movie.  It was super good. It has two of my favorite, yummy hot actors, Vin Disel and Paul Walker!! So, needless to say, I thought it was a GREAT movie! LOL

4.  Today, I slept late again, 9:30 this time! Wow!  Finished a few chores, made some homeade meatballs, and have spent the rest of the day watching lifetime.  

Wow.... what a super productive weekend.... and restful. Maybe I will feel great tomorrow when I go back to the Academy and mold little minds.  I am sure I will be exhausted again by the end of tomorrow!! 

That's all for now!!

Exhaustion!!

I am completely worn out.  This working stuff is kicking my butt.... I cannot seem to get caught up. I have been there till after 4 and sometimes 5 every night. That is so unlike me. Do I complain at the start of every year??  I can't remember. I do think I have entered into a new kind of exhaustion that I have never encountered at this point. Surely I will get caught up this weekend. 

Brent and I are still doing this non-smoking thing. It is really not that bad. I do not think about it unless I am bored, for the most part. Tonight Brent is a little grouchy.... he may be working through the hard part right now. I know we will be glad, so I am totally stickin to it!!! 

I guess I will go this weekend and set up the measurement and consultation on the carpet. I better get on that if I plan to have it done over fall break.... how many more days till break? LOL

That's all I've got for now. I guess I will go take a little soak, grade some papers (maybe), and go to bed!  More to come!

Relaxing day

Just finished scrubbing up the downstairs..... boy those new floors are beautiful.  I am so glad that is done. Now I need to get on the carpet purchase ASAP! I dread the mess that will involve. I am sure it will be well worth the mess to have sparkly clean new carpet! 

Now that I have scrubbed the downstairs, I think I will take a short sun/pool break. Then after I have restored my body's need for vitamin D, then I will resume with the upstairs. Maybe tomorrow can be a total day of rest if I am manage to accomplish this all.

I really should go shopping and take advantage of the tax free weekend....I just cant seem to make myself go out and deal with all of those crazy shoppers. I am thinking it is totally not worth the 10% it will save. I would rather spend the extra 10% and preserve my sanity for a little bit longer! LOL.... what's left of it!

I am struggling to get acclimated to going back to work. I feel eternally behind and tired as crap. Hopefully this week will feel a little more normal and on time!  I sure hope so!

That's all I've got for now.... More soon!  I hope all of my regular readers have a fantastic weekend!!

All done

Floors are finally all done and they look fantastic! I am glad they are done and all that mess is over. Remind me of this when I announce that I will be recarpeting the entire house in a couple of months!

Long day at work. I don't feel so great! I have been nauseated all day and really feel like crap. So, Off to bed for me.... more soon!
