I got tired of waiting on the pictures to be downloaded....

Our old computer has gone to computer heaven or where ever those things go when they crash! Brian had to get a new one because everything we do with the rentals and everything else is on the computer. This one is a little different than the other one and I can't figure out how to download the pictures. I am sure he showed me once but to tell you the truth I probably wasn't paying attention. So now the pictures are stuck on the camera and the camera phone. I have some really good pictures of adults riding the stretcher down the mountain that I plan to use against them if I can get them downloaded!

Last Sunday I had my first duties as vice president of the Sunday School class. I thought I panicked a little but I had a few compliments so I guess as long as I didn't embarrass Brian that is all that counts.

Basketball is over. James Brian did so good his last game. He stole the ball twice and went down the court for a layup. Then we had a little party at chick fil a and he got another trophy. He is so proud of it!

Cydney is on two softball teams. She is playing soccer at school. Grayce is on one softball team and JB is playing baseball. Cydney mentioned quiting the travel team. She said with soccer and school she just doesn't have time. As long as her grades are good she can do all three.

Brian, G and JB have gone to the field for batting practice. We all went to church. Zach came with us today. After church Grayce, JB and I went to lunch with daddy. Cydney, B and Zach went to Academy and Dicks sporting goods.

Don't worry I am listening to the race!

After a total breakdown last week I am still fulfilling my commitment to Perry Junior League. I have ordered the uniforms for the girls. I pray they are right! If not I think I will have a few days to make changes. Hopefully when the uniforms are handed out my job on the board will be complete. That is all I can take.

I might have mentioned daddy had a little scare a couple of weeks ago with his eye. Well he had to have more test last week and he is still healthy has a horse. He has great cholesterol levels and can continue to eat what he wants. That is such a blessing.

We are chugging along at the lot. Ford is still coming about every 10 days. The are always polite you just have to get all this stuff out and then it takes two or three days to get it all back together and it is just a pain. Last time they came I was skiing. I thought last week we had lost a title but Brian found it right where it was supposed to be, in the cabinet. I don't usually play games with stuff like that it is just too important.

Oh, last week on Wednesday the office was real quiet. A little mouse came to visit me. He was the cutest little thing but when I moved it scared him away. I don't want him to live in the office but as long as he stays off my desk we are fine! .

I have been exercising some. Bobby are you still walking or is it too cold? Michael is at the race in Las Vegas so I needed to be at WMF on time Friday and tomorrow. Hopefully I can still get three visits to curves in this week. I haven't paid much attention to the exercise ball. It just sort of hangs out in my room watching me walk past it most days!

The race is in Atlanta next weekend. Cydney and JB are counting on going. Grayce doesn't know it yet but I am counting on a shopping trip!

I guess that is all I can think of for now.

You think you have a plan...Tell God!

It is funny when you think you have everything figured out and just moving right along and God needs a good laugh!

He allowed me to go on the ski trip with the church!

I spent more time at the first aid station than anywhere else. I didn't ski because I was playing mom to 35 6th, 7th and 8th graders. They were really sweet. There were 7 other adults along but everytime someone got hurt I had to tend to them! I did find out that as messy as my children are they are actually cleaner than all the others at my church!

It was -8 degrees below zero with the wind chill. There was tons of snow. Real snow, as compared to snow in Georgia it is breath takingly beautiful! We had about four inches piled in front of our condo door Tuesday morning.

We were due to be home at 5:00 on Tuesday evening. The bus broke down so we were stranded for 10 hours. 3 on the side of the road and then 6 at Wendy's. Then another hour to move all the luggage to a new bus! So we got home at 3:00 in the morning!

It was an experience.

Cydney kept JB. She was a good sport she and Zach took JB and Justin to chuck e cheese one day. My friend Vicki was a big help. (thanks Vick!).

Softball and Soccer

Here we go...JB has one more basketball game left. We have drafted teams for softball. We start tomorrow night. Cydney is at soccer now. Starting next week she will go from soccer practice to softball pratice. Luckily she can drive this season.

I feel so much better!

I tell you for a week I wasn't sure which way was up! Maragarett ask me today did I remember talking to her and I said yes but it sounded like blah, blah, blah! I wasn't being rude but that is the way it affected me!

Brian, Cydney and JB are on the way home from Daytona. Brian kept texting me pictures but he will have to get them to the blog. That part is over my head. They went to the fan zone because JB is too young to go into the pits. They were watching Tony Stewarts team and Darrien Grubb, his crew chief, handed JB a lug nut off the car! That might sound silly but it is like a pot of gold to a seven year old!

Grayce and I are thinking about what to eat for supper. Probably spagetti o's and a grilled cheese! While we wait for the big snow to start! Right this minute we have a 90% chance! Woot, Woot!

At this point we are still planning on going on the ski trip with the church. Pray that our youth pastor makes a wise decision on going. I had rather stay at home. I was behind that bus last year when it was sitting still in the middle of the snow covered mountain and started sliding. I told him I did not want to be a statistic!

Grayce and I went to Warner Robins after school to get something for Perry Junior League. She didn't want to shop. I swear something is wrong with her! She did get donuts though. That girl can sniff out a krispy kreme donut like Brian can sniff a check in the mailbox. She did let me shop at Kohls for a minute but fussed because she only found one shirt she liked!

Last night after Brian left she went to the board meeting with me. She thought it was pretty silly! I had to agree. She hasn't seen men fuss like little children before. She kept yawning.

I guess that is it. Keep praying for us. We aren't having the greatest week at work!

Where Am I and What Day of The Week Is IT?

This ain't funny!

My mind feels good but I can't do anything productive. We haven't had any activities all week so Monday I was looking forward to getting alot done around the house. I could come straight home from school and clean and do laundry!

Well, it is Saturday and I have moved from the chair to the couch to the bed and back to the chair again. It is really quite annoying not feel like doing anything. I can understand how an old sick person could just give up and die!

Cydney and G are feeling better so they are in the kitchen now trying to gather up something for supper. James Brian has been a terrrific sport. He just plays so good. Justin has been gone all day so he has had to sit with me. I ask him to go get the mail and he was so excited. Probably more excited to have an excuse to get out of the house!

Brian is having a good day at work. He is most likely enjoying being away from the sick folks! Although Michael was feeling yukky but he doesn't have to take care of Michael!

I guess thats all folks!

6 doctor visits in nine days?

I was just bragging about how healthy we had all been!

Grayce and James Brian both went to the doctor today. She has pneumonia. My chest doesn't hurt anymore but I can't hardly climb the steps. James Brian has a fever on off so he is on an antibiotic to head his off!

Brian is just kind of staying away!

Cydney is being tough. It had to be hard to get up and go to school without your mom going to work and your brother and sister in the bed!

Any volunteers for the Save Michelle relief fund??

What happens when you have to get the backup car out of the garage a week before the race?

Well I guess I get to play catch up now. Even Melissa is ahead of me on blogging!

Cydney took the SAT. Grayce changed her mind and decided not to take it. Which was fine with me. She doesn't need the added stress!

School basketball is over. James Brian has a couple more games.

I finished up December books on February 1st! I completely lost January in my mind. What that means is by the time I started working in January at work it was already February!

Cydney went to the doctor on Sunday because she was sick. She is feeling better. I went again yesterday. Last week I had bronchitis. Then on Tuesday I got sick again, even worse. So now I have a new antibiotic. Unfortunately I had to feel worse before I can feel better. The doctor was out of the office today but the pharmacist seems to think I have pneumonia. Brian took G to the doctor last night because she had a fever all day yesterday. Then this morning James Brian was sick. We are just having a great week. I suspect Grayce and JB will stay home from school tomorrow because they are both puny. I have actually had to sit around and do nothing today. It is about to kill me but I just don't have the strength to do anything else. I tried to carry the laundry up but I thought it was going to kill me. Meanwhile I am looking around thinking what I could be doing instead of being in a recliner! Oh, the doctor also told me she thinks I have asthma! That is why I get it in my lungs all the time! Thankfully Melissa was able to get the asthma medicine from a nurse friend because it is several hundred dollars!

Daddy had to have some tests run because of this weird thing that happened to his eye. He is in perfect health! Praise The Lord! The doctor said he has lungs and blood vessels of a 20 year old!

Last Sunday night James Brian got to order WWE Royal Rumble as part of his birthday! Brian, JB, Zach and Cydney watched it with him. I went to bed!

Cydney started soccer workouts this week. She couldn't participate because of her cold but she can join in next week. Softball and baseball starts Saturday!

Brian, Cydney and JB are going to Daytona next Wednesday for the Gatorade Duels.

Grayce and I are going on the church ski trip next Saturday. We are riding the charter bus this year. Eight hours on a bus with 30 children. It really isn't bad. I will take a book and sleep and read! I hate leaving JB and Cydney here but they don't care.

Did I mention I have a new favorite game. Spider Solitaire. It is fun. Daddy won't let me show him how to play because he says I already got him hooked on free cell. If he plays spider he will be in trouble.

Ford is coming once a week now. That is probably why I am sick. I just get up in the morning and stomp the devil back down into the ground and go on about my business! Matter of fact I am sure when I get up the devil says "Oh, man, she's up!"

Yesterday James Brian had a field trip to the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon. We've been several times, usually in the summer, so it wasn't that big a deal to him but he did have the opportunity to touch some kind of python. It was huge. He declined! It was pretty funny. I guess you touched one snake you touched them all!

Oh back to the back up car question. Don't you think it is going to be a long week when you crash in practice an entire week before the race? What do you do call up daddy and say send me another car?

Ok, I'm not loving blogging anymore. I don't have time. So today I have blogged by default. I can sit on the couch and blog on Cyd's laptop!
