New Year's Day 2012

Ah, the New Year. My least favorite time of the year probably because it always meant back to school after a nice, long vacation. Staying up late...sleeping late...Christmas movies...eating way too much junk...spontaneous trips to anywhere...watching daytime TV (not very thrilled there)...but NOT ONE MINUTE of school work! So now I am a hypocrite. There, I said it. I am a HYPOCRITE! I told my kids, upon leaving for Christmas break, to study everyday because we have exams in two weeks. And yet, I did not set the example. There's nothing I can do about that now. I did plan my lessons for tomorrow, but that is about the extent of the school work. Besides, I have friends needing me to play WORDS WITH FRIENDS! I cannot disappoint my friends! (At this point, I am checking my Kindle Fire to see if it is my turn to play...then Facebook calls...and ANGRY BIRDS are chirping...)
Okay God, here is mess #1. We need to work on this ADD-thing. It really gets in the way.....oh look, Daisy found the catnip! See what I mean! It is uncontrollable! (Excuse me while I make an enormously high-scoring word with my friend.)
Okay, I'm back...
Breakfast was a nice spread by the ladies today at church. Lunch was the traditional New Year's meal of black-eyed peas, greens, cabbage, mashed "taters," ham, mac and cheese....I'm forgetting something...oh, and cornbread....all courtesy of my mother-in-law. Dinner was the inaugural run to the new Cook-Out in Morganton. It appeared all of Burke County was doing that inaugural run as well. (Excuse me again....another friend needs a word.)
So, it appears today, God, that the ADD may need immediate attention. And while You are at it, I really need an extra measure of "umph" to get me through tomorrow. I mean more "umph" than a cup of coffee and a Mountain Dew can give. And I really think this prayer could be answered with just one thing: SNOW!! But that's just my opinion; You know best.

You just thought you knew everything there is to know about me, huh? Let's see....I am a teacher....check....huge Tennessee fan...check....hate raisins...check....a Christian...check...loves music...check...former hitch hiker....check..no wait...what? Ah, so you DON'T know everything about me! Okay, let's start with the latter... 10. I went to Europe the first time as a junior at Lenoir-Rhyne. I was with a family from LR, and then we also traveled with two guys from New York and a girl from Canada. Most of the group went to ski. Me...I tried skiing for 30 minutes and almost did not live to tell about it. So I went sightseeing, and how do you sight see in Europe? Hitch hike!! It was totally safe, and I was always with someone in the group, usually. And I decided it was best not to share this news with my parents until AFTER I returned from Europe! 9. I have a hard time telling my left from my right. I have to stop and think about it almost every time. Ask my husband and ...

Full of HATE!

It has been a cold, cold day. I don't mean a chilly cold...I mean a bone-chilling, raw, aching cold that cuts right to the core of my being. It's one of those colds that I feel chilled and never warm all day long. That cold just sets me in one of those moods. Just stay in bed! I don't want to be around myself, so I'm sure no one else will either. We had a two-hour delay, which would have been great had I not awakened at the same time - 5:45 AM. I tried to go back to sleep, but I kept having dreams I was awake. Have you ever had those dreams? I was probably sleeping, but my brain kept right on living like it was a normal day. I felt like crap pretty much all day. I walked around with my fake smile and my fake positive attitude. I just want to go HOME! Forget this day ever happened! I hate this!!! Then it happened. I wasn't expecting this at all. As a matter of fact, I was blind-sided by the whole thing. It could have been almost anything else, but not THIS. I was ask...
