How sad is it that I haven't written on this blog in over two weeks? I am pathetic! Pathetically busy... I bought some pork chops at Walmart last week and thought I'd cook them for supper one night this past week but I was not at home to eat ANY, not ONCE, so I just cooked the pork chops (yes, I guess I wasn't here to put them in the freezer either!) and put them in the doggy bowl for their supper tonight. This week I have a jam packed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday... but right now (and I'm not holding my breath...) Thursday is looking like I may actually be at home for a brief time that evening!
I've been sitting in my recliner for about the past hour and a half calling parents to tell them that their little darlings aren't doing homework. It is one of the parts about teaching that you'd rather not have to deal with. No one wants to have their "home" time interrupted by the mean, old teacher calling to say something negative about their kid. It's just no fun for either party. I wish I had more time to call about positive things.
This Monday we are having Spirit night at Chic-Fil-A by Walmart. We are raising money for the OBX trip this year. If anyone gets the chance to come by between 5:30 and 7:30 then BMS gets a portion of their sales between those times. Come on out and support us and eat some yummy chicken!
Sorry to make this so short since I haven't been writing lately, but I have lesson plans to do and I would rather not sit here all night doing school related stuff. Although, Brad switched us from DirectTV to Dish Network, the guy was supposed to come install it yesterday but didn't show, but poor Brad had jumped the gun and cancelled the DirectTV so.... it's a good thing I bought him the complete Andy Griffith series (all 8 seasons) for his birthday or he'd have nothing to watch. It's too bad I don't like Andy Griffith. Guess I'll get a little reading in if I don't fall asleep first! :)

Fishin', baseball, and other stuff...
We always laugh (lovingly, of course) about my daddy and how he walks into every room and announces his entrance with a huge "whew!", like he just finished the longest, hardest day of work ever. Well, I have found myself doing that lately. My life has gone from totally relaxed to totally busy in a matter of a couple of weeks and my body is just REJECTING it. Completely. Work itself is not that bad... it is just that all the "other stuff" (ie. baseball, dance, church, etc.) started at the same time and it's just a lot to get used to. I suppose I will either adjust or collapse, one or the other. I'll let you know which happens, soon enough.
Brad went with his scout troop on a rafting trip today and I took the kids to Hickory with me to do some shopping. It seems like everybody is pregnant these days (not me, thank you!) and I had to make a Babies-r-Us run to buy gifts. Becky and Kylie and I are throwing a baby shower for Katie and we had to pick up some things there, at AC Moore, and at Target. Then I went to Best Buy to look for some things that I have in mind for Brad's birthday (which is Sept. 16th). After all our errands (I really wanted to do some more shopping but the kids gave out on me) we went to pick up a friend of Sam's to spend the night tonight. After they played for a while here at home (and I got some laundry done) we headed over to mom and dad's to let the boys fish. They had a great time and caught lots of fish. I was even able to get a set of tests graded between baiting hooks and taking off the fish. They are upstairs watching a movie in the playroom now.
Sam started baseball a couple of weeks ago. He has never played before and I was a bit worried that he would have hard time "catching up" with those boys who have played since they were 4 and 5 years old. Turns out all my worries were totally unnecessary. He loves it and he is doing great. He had his first game last Tuesday and he had two hits. I could see myself really getting into this and screaming for my boy from the bleachers, but I am gonna try to control myself until he is playing in the Major Leagues and making millions! :) Ha! As long as he is having fun, I am loving it!
Have I mentioned that I am fast becoming addicted to Facebook? I don't really DO anything there, but I have so much fun just looking at things and playing around. If you're not on Facebook, you should join. It is so interesting (and totally random) the people you come across. I want everyone to come hang out with me on Facebook... sad, isn't it?
Speaking of sad... anybody watch the Republican National Convention? Yeah, it's sad. McCain and Palin are really the best the Republicans could come up with? I love, love, love The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He SO gets the hypocrisy. If you don't watch it and you get the chance, you really should.
Well, getting sleepy and tomorrow is the last day of the weekend (sigh...). Guess I better get some sleep while I can. I'd love to read (it's been weeks since I read a book... I am having withdrawals) but sleep is my priority right now... TTFN.
