Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother! This blog wouldn't be able to contain all the incredible things I could say about her, so I'll just keep it simple...

WE LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!

Busy times!

We have been very busy already this week!! I have started working on the school's yearbook and we began last night to set up for our HUMONGOUS Jr. Church yard sale. It is unbelievable the amount of stuff that people have brought in! There's more coming, too!!! If you're in the area, you definitely need to come by and shop!
Looks like that's about all we'll get accomplished this week...school work & sale. Also, Nancy, Gary, Nathan, & Trish are all coming this weekend. Good thing I did some cleaning last week...can't tell though...SIGH!

Extra, Extra, Read All About It

I would love to tell my faithful blog-readers (the whole 2 of ya) that I have some wonderful, earth-shattering news, but alas, I have failed you! Graduation was last Friday, thus my career as a "teacher" has officially ended...for now. I'm looking forward to my next career...the overpaid, hard to find, sought & fought after position of being a "mommy." :0) Guess my teaching career is far from being over!

We're on vacation this week, but not doing anything overly exciting. Mom and Rachel came down Sunday evening and we went to Brown County and goofed off around here. Tomorrow, Wesley takes a job entrance test and then we're headed to mom's for who knows what kind of fun little jobs for Wesley. :) (I think I overheard painting involved...)

Next week, our Jr. Church is having a yard sale, so I need to finish up the sorting here. I'm helping set up all week and Wes's family is all coming for that. Hope they don't mind making their way through a path in the house...it's a DISASTER.

This summer is going to prove very interesting, I'm afraid. If you hear screams or loud rumblings, it's just one super, over-sized pregnant woman getting overheated and stressing about everything! Keep praying for us...especially Wesley! (He's the one getting to deal with the above description).

100th Post!!!

For my 100th post...

Only 100 days left in the baby countdown...as long as she arrives when due...

Jr/Sr Banquet

Last Thursday we had our Jr/Sr Banquet...Doesn't Wesley make a handsome, distinguished looking teacher...hands all folded...standing straight and tall...just about looking like one of the high schoolers himself (he's been accused of that several times on field trips!)I'm certainly never accused of that! :) Thankfully, I've never been called his mother like my mom was with dad...something about us and younger looking men... :)

It has been busy, busy, busy here. Last night was our Award's Night. The high school did a skit this year that I had told Wesley about...The Doctor's Office...noone here had heard of it. Anyways, it's really funny, but I was a little nervous that our kids wouldn't pull it off...if you'd seen practice you would totally understand. But, they did a really good job and the entire audience was howling. Bro. Thompson and Marvin were wiping their eyes with hankies! One of the mom's came up afterwards and told me that Ethan, one of my Kindergartners was sitting by Bro. Thompson. She said he was already laughing super hard, but then Ethan looked at him and said really loud, "This is sooooo funny!" I guess he just about lost it then!

Our picnic was cancelled today because of the rain. So, I really need to go grocery shopping and clean house! If you've ever moved, you'll understand that cleaning house is pretty much a joke when there are things piled everywhere that don't belong! I couldn't resist posting this picture of Nancy and Wesley getting boxes. We don't usually go dumpster diving...

Help

Does anyone know why it won't give me the normal toolbar for posting a new post? It's coming up with a spot with URL......MIME Type.......What in the world is that? It won't let me add anything to the layout either. I wanted to add some pictures, but there's no option for it.

Changes

I now know why I didn't change my background for a long time....it takes too long to put everything back in.

We only had a half day today in order to get ready for award's night tomorrow. It's a beautiful day here! Things are winding down in the school year. Graduation is Friday and it'll be all over. Then we'll really start experiencing changes...

Finally found a crib set that I like. Went to T J Maxx this weekend and voila!!...The only one there was, too. I was also able to get the valance and the light switch cover. Yay!!...now I can start getting accessories that match. May be kinda hard cause it's not the usual color for girls. Might have to become creative and do my own thing...you know, cause I have absolutely nothing else to do.
Wes's parents came over this weekend also! They helped tremendously in packing and cleaning. We got the basement done! (Nancy has way too much energy!!!) :) Thanks a bunch...we appreciate it.


Wesley's Uncle Curt is bribing our little girl already with a vote for his make of motorcycle. He is strictly Harley-Davidson while Grandpa Grissom is Goldwings (not sure if that's how you type it). I'm afraid she will be on Uncle Curt's side from now on simply because he bought her a set of pink socks with the emblem on them! They are a hoot!! :) Thanks Uncle Curt! Also, thanks for the little dresses your wife found! They're really cute!

Happy Mother's Day to the world's best mothers...

Peggy & Nancy! We love you both!!!

Week in Review

What a busy, crazy week! Monday and Tuesday evening, Wesley and I helped decorate the Junior Church room for the new theme-"God's Garden of Goodness." In between times of busyness, we started packing and sorting things out for the yard sale.
Friday night, we had our Mother/Daughter Banquet. 8 different women had their own table to decorate however they wanted. This was mine...
You can see the other tables on Karen W's blog.Saturday morning, Mom, Wes, and I got up and went to yard sales (finally found a changing table that Wes can fix up...actually a lady at our church saw it at a yard sale and called us), went to Brown County, back to Columbus for some shopping and lunch, and ended up at Edinburgh outlet malls. After mom went home, Wes and I went calling for Jr Church and came home to clean up some of the house and pack a few more boxes and price yard sale items.
Wes fixed us lunch today and it was sooo good! This week promises to be another busy week; Jr/Sr Banquet, more packing, in-laws coming, and it's the last week of school! :)

Once again...

Oh no! The dreams have started again!!! Only this time, they're the annoying ones where you know you need to get something done, but no matter how hard you try in the dream, it just won't let you.

• Our Mother/Daughter Banquet is this Friday night and I have some finishing touches to put on the table I decorated. However, in my dream, I kept having to help everyone else and my table ended up somehow getting left out and my decor getting slopped on! I'm also supposed to make name tags for each table and I hadn't got those done. So, I took them that night and started quickly doing it. However, the lady sitting beside me kept taking them and drawing on them!!!
• I also dreamed that Marvin showed a prospective family our house. Only the dad came (many of you would know who he is) and there were dishes piled high in the sink, dirty clothes scattered everywhere, boxes and junk piled high from where we had been sorting yard sale stuff and packing. (I better tell Marvin to warn me before anyone is allowed in our house...just in case!)
