What A Day!

Whew! A long day and getting ready for a pre-k easter egg hunt when the sun rises. Preparing myself for April Fool's Day too, which is the day my youngest son was created a little over 5 years ago!

After reading Carisa's blog

After reading fellow classmate Carisa's blog I realized something about baby blues. I have sons ages 18, 15 and 5 years old. The last time I had the baby blues over my children growing up was in Jan. '04, then by Dec. 1, 2004 I had "Boss" (Heath) my youngest. Then I got those baby blues again when he began Pre-K this past year, then by Christmas I found out that I am going to become a grand-momma' in Sept.! I have become a little afraid of the baby blues now, LOL! I love my children, grand baby and new daughter more than words could ever express! As I always tell them: I love you better than anything next to God & Jesus. That is placing God and Jesus above all which I believe we should, then everything else will fall into place.

A Middle Of The Road Kind Of Day

I just signed up for the rest of my classes through 2010. My academic adviser is a good one here at school. My middle son has strep and has been feeling really bad. The weather here is absolutely beautiful today!

School Post

Well I finished my math homework yesterday after math class, thank God the metric system came easy to me. Finished my homework for comp II, praying my post was done correctly. Getting my sons ready for bed, and school tomorrow. O how I love my children! I am going to become a grandmother in Sept. I am so excited! I can hardly wait. I hope the links I posted will be helpful to my classmates in comp II.

The Dr. Mommies

Hey, Kris and I may have a new show on t.v. soon called Dr. Mommies! LOL! Forget Dr. Phil, I think we could replace Oprah! Maybe we'll do an I Carly type thing.

"Slience Is Golden" Story by Tammy Barker about Big Nanny

Silence Is Golden

One day following the F-5 child tornado that hit the toy room of our home, I was fussing about the mess and having to clean it up when from down our hall a north Georgia wind calmly blew across the Tennessee line into the room. It was Big Nanny Spurgeon, superior nanny as we lovingly referred to her. She stood quietly in the doorway for a few moments, listening to my ranting and raving, and with her southern twang she said: "You know you should not be picking up the mess in this room, get those children to do it. On judgment day do you think you will be allowed to stand before God and answer for them? How will they ever learn if you do everything for them? They must answer for what they have done themselves, and learn that when you play you pay. Cleaning this room is their job not yours. They must learn to control themselves just as you must learn to control your temper, for in one flash of temper all the good you have worked toward is gone, then you must work twice as hard to redeem yourself." She went on to say: "One day you will pick this room up for the last time, one day you will walk by this room and it will be perfectly clean every day, and then on that day you will find yourself all alone wondering where it all went and thinking how fast it all slipped by." I stood in front of her like the child I was over 40 years ago. I was speechless and I am never without words, searching for a rebuttal like an attorney pleading a case, but nothing came. All I could do was soak in what she had said and think to myself that again in my life she had spoke the truth with love, and was correct. I kept thinking, thinking about what all she had seen in life, the jobs she and pop had worked, the prayers they had prayed, the homes they lived in, the firewood she and pop had brought in to keep those homes warm and the nine children they raised, without a toy room. It was then I realized that silence really is golden.

Feeling Better Today

I am still not over the cold but I am feeling much better today. I hope everyone is doing well in their classes. The weather here is rainy and cool. Cant wait for spring to arrive in full force!

The Saga of The Lingering Cold

Today we join in as Tammy laDawn continues to battle her stinking cold. We are down to just productive coughing and headache. Of course the productive coughing is as annoying as my gaining my voice back to again pass out orders throughout the home front! Tune in Sunday as the count down to wellness has begun.

I Hate Having A Head Cold!

The definition of a head cold taken from the dictionary of Tammy Barker, lol! Head cold: An awful, crappy, just plain sucking feeling. From Tammy's MD, lol! Complications of a head cold: Children, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, homework, work, co-workers, classmates, teachers, life in general.
Did I mention that I hate being sick? Lol!

Hello

It's almost hard to believe we are taking on unit 3. Time flies when your having fun, lol! Everyone seems to have a good idea about their final paper. Good luck to all!

Hello To A New Day!

Hello new day, happy to see you! A beautiful sky, a hint of warmth in the air, the smell of sping just around the corner. Enjoy each day and all that it has to offer for we are not promised our next breath. Find the sun through the clouds, and the peacefullness listening to the rain can bring. Call a friend or family member for your words may be their saving grace that day, offer your pennies to the begger on the street with a greatful heart for sharing the blessings you have, for you may be the next one standing there. Give thanks for everything in your life, believe in something larger than yourself and remember that the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains, if you know who owns the equipment store. Love one another.

A New Day!

Whew! What a week mine has been. Busy, full of travel, managing children and school into it all. I am a bit more relaxed with school as this week begins. I think the first week of every semester is always tense. This is going to be a great ten weeks! I hope life is treating you to all the good things you deserve!

Thanks to everyone who posted a blog! I will get around to answering you tomorrow as I must head toward Nashville this evening, business related. I will catch you all later! Best regards to all!
