So yeah. My 7 yr old Kaya beats me at bowling on the Wii. While I am trying to have good form, she is simply “throwing the ball”. I verified with her around-the-body throw to get her strikes and she confirms. So little Devadoll here tries Kaya’s throw. Whadda know! I then get strikes!!! I ended up losing to her with a score of 168… Only 11 points behind. LOL

July 3rd, 2009Hot days
July 3rd, 2009So I sit here on my back deck deck at 5pm ok my iPod touch LOL. What is the temp now? 95…at 5! That is acually lower than what it has been here in the evenings lately.
Where I live here in the Burg in MS, this now makes it over a month with no rain. It is solo hot and dry!
Thank goodness for the pool Scott’s sister, Cindy gave us. And it is being well used.

Happy Birthday Grandma (spending her birthdays with God)
May 13th, 2009I think of you every day and look forward to when it is my time to see you again in Heaven. I have talked about you so much to the girls!
Kaya was two months old the day you left to be with your Maker. You should see her now! She’s 7 years old and has a younger sister, Bella, 5 1/2. There are so many ways that I see you in both of them.
You would be so proud of the boys, Champagne and CJ. They are doing great in school, love their Lord, and are all-around good kids.
I miss you more and more all the time; it’s funny, I thought I would miss you less as time went on.
As everyone knows, you were just like a mom to me more so than a grandma. I miss our weekly talks on the phone. We could both go on for hours on end and never run out of things to talk about.
I was talking to your daughter, my mommy, the other day and apologized for talking so much on the phone to her. She told me not to worry about it, that it just reminded her of you.
If there could be no other greater compliment I could receive, that is it. You may would balk at that, but I love your love for God, your love for others, your bright bright clothes, your abundance of jewelry you would wear every day, I love your loudness, your never ending bedtime stories… I could go on and on…
I love you!
Long time but….
May 13th, 2009So these last few months, school and work have both kicked my back end! Today was my last day of school for the semester! woohoo!!!
Now, hopefully I will have time to update more!
Sick of being sick…..third round of antibiotics…
March 4th, 2009So starting around Thanksgiving, I got a bad sinus infection. I *thought* I could handle it and avoid going to the doc. Not so. I suffered, trying everything I could over the counter, for over a month and then realized, “Oh my, school is starting in a few days!” By that point, I couldn’t hardly move and just wanted to curl up in bed.
Scott took me to the doctor then – in my pjs and slippers none-the-less!!!! -, the middle of January, and I had bronchitis and a sinus infection (duh). I took a round of antibiotics and was on Flonase. I felt better for a few weeks. But then, I was starting to feel run down again (in February now) and ended up having to miss a day of school because of it.
The next day, I went the school nurse who said (duh) sinus infection and upper respiratory infection. Another antibiotic (z-pak) and congestion meds. That worked for only maybe 1 1/2 weeks.
This past weekend (end of February) I was once again where I could barely move and body was achy, cold, and hurting. I stayed like that for 2 days and on Monday, when Bella was home sick, we went to the doc. Sinus infection, bronchitis, and a new one! fluid on my lungs. great……
Third round of antibiotics now…. let’s hope that 3 times is a charm to finally get rid of this blasted sinus infection that DOES NOT WANT TO GO AWAY!!!
Anywho. Onto the rest of the family. Champagne went to Disney World the 3rd week in February and came home with the flu (he did have a great time though!). Kaya got sick right after (fever and we think possibly the flu as well) and both of them missed 2 days from school for it.
This past weekend, while I was taking a 13 hour snooze, Bella woke with a fever and kept it going for over a day until Monday when we went to the doc. She has an ear infection with cold and congestion.
Now, get this. I got a call from Kaya’s teacher about noon today and she’s pale, weak, nauseous. Scott’s taking her to the doc right now.
I’m not complaining (well lol cept this darn sinus infection!) but wanted to update everyone since I haven’t been around too much the last month or so. Now you know why!
A post about nothing
February 22nd, 2009Ok. I’ll have a post tomorrow about my/out life, but tonight will leave you with a bit of nothing. I’m happy. I love my family. I’m tired of tests in school (but still love school). I’m reflecting on high school… who I am now, who I was then, who I was in between… I’ve grown, etc But I have a lot of thoughts about external things that I will not type about… silly stuff really…. me with my little “silly little thoughts”, really (Scott will get it… silly little thoughts) that make me feel not how I want to be thought of…how I want to be …. but are still complements…but… yeah… no one knows what I’m talking about…..silly little thoughts…
Yes, rambling… and sorry…… if I wrote what I was thinking in my head, I would hear it from you all….. if you really know me, you will understand if you read between lines
The Irrigation of Uncle Bamba…..
January 20th, 2009Yes, between a couple of my kids’ vocabulary, THAT is what was going on today!
The Irrigation of Uncle Bamba…
Pic I took on “field trip” at school
January 15th, 2009Ok, so in my Plant Materials class, we take a lot of “field trips”. These consist of going to different towns to find the particular plant, tree, or shrub we are presently studying so we can get a leaf sample.
Well, due to the unseasonably warm winter had during the holidays, some early spring flowering shrubs/small trees have bloomed. They may not bloom in Spring when they are due to, so we went out yesterday to take pictures of the blossoms.
Here is a Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) picture that I took yesterday and just LOVE! I think I would like to have it framed….yes, I normally don’t take pictures I like quite so much. lol
My baby is getting old
January 14th, 2009So tomorrow Champagne turns 15 years old. Oh my! He asked me the other day when he could get his driver’s permit. errrrr……. I’m not ready for this!
