I've been published!Well, not really.But I've been allowed to have a post on another blog other than here!So go and see it, and let me know what you think!

Since we are getting ready to get into a brand new year, I decided that I would update this wonderfully interesting blog.So.Howya been?I kind of "fell off" the blogging bandwagon long about April of earlier this year. (That year being 2008 and all).To update all of my zero readers, Jacob David Green came a tremendous amount earlier than we would have liked, after my obstetrician placed me on bed

If anyone out there has, had, or dealt with gestational diabetes during a pregnancy, I would appreciate it so very much if you would either leave me a comment, or email me. I found out yesterday that my blood test did not come back very friendly-like.So I get to either go and take another blood test (which I did last week, and, literally, came thisclose to fainting in the doctor's office because

Happy Easter, everybody!We decided to "go away" this holiday weekend, and take the chitlins somewhere we had never been before.So we went to Manahawkin, New Jersey.Because we are adventurous folks.Oh yeah.And because of this... It seemed that I had been obsessing merely mentioning the fact that I would enjoy going to a Sonic Drive-In and enjoying some of their fine, fried delicacies.Well.It seems

Once again, another day off from school. This week in school, since it was the President's Day holiday, we didn't attend school this past Monday (the 18th), or the previous Friday (the 15th). Today, since the weather brought in another snowstorm, we are at home. Again.The kids are enjoying themselves, but I am hesitant to enjoy this snow day, since I no longer have any days left for my school

Has it really been over two months since I last posted? That is absolutely shameful. Honestly, you would think that SOMETHING would have happened at least remotely interesting/exciting/embarassing since then, but I can't come up with anything. I have finally stopped having "Morning Sickness." That's a really funny term, since the worst part of my endearing nausea would occur around 5:30 each

Well, since I haven't posted a THING since November, I feel like I should do something.  Even if it's only posting the HTML code from a quiz that I took about which character I am for the holidays.  Because it is JUST that important, folks.Oh, and, when I come home from work tomorrow, I plan upon taking a picture of a sign out in front of a local business for everyone to enjoy.  Just because,

Well, the "kitty-cot," as Miss Molls used to refer to cats, has hopped right on out of the proverbial bag, if you will.Big Daddy and I decided to expand the family by one member, and, as you can tell from the ticker that appears on the top of this blog, we have just about until July.Since this will be our third and final child, I have decided that there will be a few changes that will occur

Here's how you can tell when you need to break out the warm fall/winter clothing:your kids are begging you to "hurry up, Mama, and take the picture! We can't feel our hands anymore, Mama."The amount of time and money that's going to have to go to a therapist for my children later on in their lives is going to be shameful.But my photo albums will be full, and I will be able to look back at all the

I totally forgot to keep everyone updated on the weedwhacker/weedeater/weedexterminator's condition. A few weeks ago, Big Daddy went to the small motor/engine shop, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that he owed NOTHING for its repair. Evidently, the warrantly was still so relatively new that the company provided the payment for its surgery and rehab.It seems that SOMEONE burned out the

Happy Fall, Ya'll!Nothing big or interesting has been going on around here (thank goodness for that, for a change). I happened to go by BooMama's blawg, as she calls it, and I discovered that she will be hosting a Christmas Tour of Homes. If you're interested in having your home included, you can go here for more information on it. The official "starting" date is December 17, 2007, so once

Ya'll, I just gotta tell you. Having children, it really schools you. REALLY.Just yesterday, I ended up having to take little Miss Molly to the emergency room, because of certain "tinkle" problems. Well, those of you that are mamas already, you know into what territory I am travelin'.Yep. I am referring to the unloved "U.T.I." But, I gotta also tell you, little Miss Molly fights things like

Here is another really good "holiday-ish" recipe that my family enjoys. I have taken this to work as a contribution to a holiday brunch, and have received NUMEROUS compliments on it, as well as requests for the recipe. This is easy as, well, I won't say pie, since that's so obvious. It's just really easy, really simple, and really good!Christmas Morning Casserole* This recipe came from a

(This SHOULD have been posted yesterday, as Overwhelmed! very clearly posted on her blog... yesterday was a crazy day in the library, followed by a crazy dinner out with the fam, and finished up with an "enjoyable" grocery shopping trip with the entire fam through Wal-Mart and Sam's Club).  For those of you are questioning what exactly

Ya'll, do you remember singing the old church hymn, "Bringing in the Sheaves?"Well.  We went over to the Bruderhof Community last Saturday night, where we ate dinner, talked and visited with our friends, and sang different songs.Molly Moo was sitting next to me, sharing my songbook (nevermind that she can't read... do you really need to when you are one of oh, I don't know, four hundred people?)

Happy Friday, everybody!I just came from visiting Boomama's blawg, in which she had blogged last night's MSU and LSU game. It was a sad affair, to say the least. I tuned in to the game around 10:30 or so last night (which was 9:30 central time), and there was no pointage going down for the Bulldogs, so I figured poor Boomama was not having herself an enjoyable time. I'm sure everyone has sent

Happy Monday, internetty friends!We had an uneventful weekend for the past couple of days. On Saturday, we went over to our neighbors at the Maple Ridge Community, and bought some fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as freshly baked bread! You can find out more about our neighbors here.After getting all those beeyootiful fruits and veggies, we grilled some zucchini and eggplant for Saturday

I don't know if anyone is venturing out into the vastness of the Internet after reading through my blog entries, but I have come across a few places that you absolutely MUST visit, if you haven't yet.Here's the first one:1. BooMama. Ya'll, (and if she were to read this, I think I would probably just about wet myself, because what if she left me a comment)? AAAHHH! Anywho, the thing about

Well, the suspense is over. I didn't win the 37-inch flat screen television from Five Minutes for Mom. A great big congratulations to Phuong, who did win! Here's hoping that the winner will enjoy! And, folks, you are probably asking yourself, "Exactly why does this girl have that picture of melted cheese to start out this post?" Well, ya'll, I gotta tell you. I really do enjoy some melted

We are oh-ficially back from Herkimer Diamond Mines! There are still four in our party, so there were no casualties, no one ended up missing, and we had a great time! (Well, some of us has a great time; the other three had an eh time). The heat, and all.Anyway! We broke some rocks, just like living in a prison.

Okay. Here's the deal.

This is Herkimer Diamond Mines, in Herkimer, New York.Okay. Since "Big Daddy" had his knee surgery almost a month ago, we haven't really gone and done anything as family. In reading a copy of Parents magazine last week, while getting Trey's nostril cauterized and Molly's big toe stitched back together, I discovered that WAAAAAAAAAAAAY upstate New York has an honest-to-goodness mine that you

Time, it is a flyin'!Ya'll, I am just about TOO excited that school is getting ready to start again. Down where we used to live, and where we both used to teach, school is starting in three days. I don't think I'm quite that ready, but I'm ready to go, probably REALLY ready to go in about three weeks.So here's why I'm excited about going back...Crayons. I LOVE the way that they smell,

Okay! I neglected to come back and tell you about my lunch that was filmed for a television show. The picture that appears first in this post is Porterhouse Restaurant, which is located in The Shops at Columbus Circle, in New York City.My good friend and I lunched here this past Thursday, after our visit to The View. We walked down from the ABC studios, past Juilliard, and ended up at The

Ya'll! Today, I went to New York City (sans kids, husband, and any responsibilities)! My very good friend, with whom I teach junior high, invited me to travel down to the city and sit in the studio audience for a live "taping" of The View!We had a really good time, especially getting to visit with each other on the train ride down to the city, reading trashy stuff, like The Enquirer, and

We're almost in August! I can't get over just how quickly this summer seems to be flying! The picture that you are viewing with this post is due to the fact that "Big Daddy" had arthroscopic knee surgery this past Thursday. He had hurt himself this past April (or so he thinks) and, as a result, went to his orthopedist a few weeks ago, had an MRI, and then was scheduled for surgery.Which led me

Whew! This week has been a whirlwind of activity around our house. We had a good friend from Tennessee come and visit us. During his stay, we visited Coney Island (hence the postcard pic featured in this post), had a few cookouts, roasted marshmallows in our brand-new fire pit (!), went to a Yankees baseball game, and did a few other things during our time with him.

Well, well, well. Another month has seemingly come and gone, just as they will. Sigh. It seems like we just started school, and now we have completed one year! Wow. I must say, I really did enjoy my first year as a school librarian. I learned quite a bit this first year, and I have a list of things in mind that I plan upon changing this next upcoming school year. Here is a small list of

Here comes Peter Cottontail...hoppin' down the Bunny Trail, hippity-hoppity, Easter's on its way...Happy Easter, everyone! The picture that is featured in this post is the most recent picture of my family. We got the opportunity to visit with my parents, the likes of whom we haven't seen in over two and a half years! We speak quite frequently on the telephone, but haven't had the financial means

Well. Time has gone by, and I find myself reminiscing about things that used to be in my childhood, but can't be found in today's day and time. Remember the candy that your grandma or great-grandma would put out in a bowl around the holidays? I remember my "Memaw" would put out this hard candy, but it had different kinds of fillings inside each one of them, and it wasn't like the generic

So another month has gone by, and the ol' groundhog didn't see his shadow. Now, really, are we putting that much faith into a rodent? Folks, I have to question those of us who are THAT certain in whether or not Punxsutawney Phil crawls out to sunshine or clouds. Maybe that's how the weathermen figure out their forecasts? Makes me wonder...Onto more of my heartwarming cynicism! Let's take a

Since the "holiday season" is pretty much past us, now would be a prime time to add another post to my blog.No one has added any comments, so this blog is pretty much an online journal for myself, and... well, myself. I enjoy being able to do this, since it's a "new" item of technology for me.Having been a school library media specialist for approximately three months now, I feel that ample time
