Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the best Father-in-Law ever!

(only one I have!)

I'm lucky to have a FUNNY, loving, talented and smart father-in-law! He tells the best jokes! Some that I tell others! :) He loves to boat, fly and eat popcorn! He loves to call the Mr. and ask about Lucy!

Lucky to have him as my family!

Week in bullets:

• Short weeks are always LOOOONNNGGG weeks!
• I have the most PRECIOUS intern this semester! She is going to be such a great addition to our classroom!
• Back pain is NO fun!
• I love grad school so far!
• Spelling Bees are extreme competition!
• I love how excited Lucy and Ethel are when I get home from work!
• The Mr. has been so great taking care of all the accident stuff. :)
• I'm looking forward to the weekend...and sleeping in a bit!
• Getting lost on campus is kind of embarrassing considering I'm a GRAD student!
• Dancing with kids at school is super fun!
• Forgetting things going on in peoples lives makes me super sad...
• Five people that I'm close to celebrate their birthdays next week!

SO What Wednesday

Go over to Life After I "Dew" to join in!

• If I could eat an entire dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts by myself! (Not in one sitting!)


• If I have everything color-coded in my calender.


• If I lay my clothes out for the entire week on Sunday...this includes socks, underwear and shoes!


• If I don't like those home-make-over shows, the Mr. loves them, but they drive me crazy.


• If I could drink DD coffee everyday, but I'm so good and don't.


• If I'm scared to drive now, I was hit head on last week...give me a break.


• If I'm over winter, snow last a week in GA is way not normal...I'm ready for spring!


• If I hate with a passion to pluck my eyebrows...I mean I do it, but do not like it at all!

Snow Week

As yall know, the South was hit with a MAJOR snow storm! No school for a week and tons of ICE!

Before all the ice I got some pictures of the pretty snow!

So pretty before the snow was all stepped in!

 I love this picture! We opened the back door to find this...love how it piled up!

 Girls stayed warm inside with some blankets and coats!

 B and A came over for a little while on Tuesday!

 We found a good hill in the neighborhood to sled! The Mr. helped me get started!

 Action shot...about 2 seconds later I ran into some bushes and fell! haha!

 The snowman we built! So fun! I'm not very good at making the body!

A and B with the snowman too!

I probably won't ask for anymore snow days! It's a teachers dream to have a day off from school...but a whole week and an accident was a bit much! It was nice to be able to rest and spend time with Mr. but I seriously have missed my students and the routine of life! :)

Back to work today and I get to start grad school today too! YAY!

Miscellaneous Monday

Hello all,

I'm feeling somewhat better. Still sore...my head is much better just sensitive now. And my back is still very sore, but I'm still so thankful that I wasn't hurt even more. Thank you for all your sweet comments, I'm so blessed to have such great family, friends, and bloggy friends too!

Before my accident I told a friend at school I would make a smash cake for her little girl's first birthday, and I didn't want to disappoint her by not making it. So, I rested in between baking and icing the cake...but I like how it turned out:

 She is going to have her pictures made with this cake and then next weekend I'll make another one for her birthday party! Such a cute idea!

 Saturday the Mr. wanted me to get out for a little bit. C and her sweet husband were coming into town to go shopping so we met them for lunch! I'm so lucky, I got to see C two weekends in a row! She also surprised me with this:

 YUMMY! She knows me so well! KK is my FAVORITE!!! I think they really helped with the healing process! ;)

I've been taking it easy because this week is going to be super busy...going back to school after a week off because of the snow, grad school will start this week (it was supposed to start last week, but was closed due to snow too), ASP, small group, and much more!

The Mr. and the pups have taken good care of me while I've been healing. The Mr. has been a super nurse! He's given me my meds and fed me well! Lucy and Ethel have been great snugglers:



Snapsnot Sundays

Project 365 is going great!

Here is week 2:

Bye Big Red

So, yesterday started out normal...well kind of. Day number 4 of no school because of the snow/ice. I wanted to get out of the house, so I called my BFF M, and asked her if she wanted to ride with me to campus to get my ID for grad school.

The roads weren't bad on the way to M's. Got her and headed to campus. Well, we hit black ice...car went crazy and we ended up in a ditch. But we were fine! I called the Mr. and he said he was on his way to get us out of the ditch.

Well a few minutes later we were hit head on from another truck who hit the black ice. It was so scary to know we were about to be hit and couldn't do a darn thing about it!The Mr. was on the phone with me when we got hit so he heard everything.

Everyone was okay that was in the wreck...just banged up a bit!

My neck/back is super sore and is causing alot of pain...and I have a massive knot on my head! It's pretty impressive...M made me laugh alot throughout the whole day. I was taken to the ER for x-rays of my neck. And was discharged about 2.5 hours after getting there.

Headed home with meds...hopefully they will help!

Here are some pics for you to see...I'm pretty sad about my car...I love "Big Red", such a safe car. AND...we just picked it up last Friday and had to pay $700 to have it fixed!
