Family History

It's come down to meeting a long list of family members that I've NEVER met before. I can't put my finger on my emotions but I am anxious. I am really glad that I'm going to see where my grandparents are buried...see their graves and be with ALL of my siblings at one time. This has never happened before! I am really excited to get a group picture as well. I know it won't look like most sibling pics since we're spaced out for 20 years. We didn't have our cute little bro/sis pics sitting by the Christmas tree....none of us ever laid eyes on each other until the past 6 months.
The kids and I are going to my biological fathers family reunion. I have a list of questions that I hope to get answered.
Anyway, I can't wait to see my 2 brothers and my sister again. I really love the time that I spend with them. It's good memories that I will NEVER forget.

I hope to learn more about the family, ancestory, some personal questions about my fathers life, and spending time with my siblings. This is going to be a great weekend that I almost passed up.

Hope that you're having a fantastic week. I am standing by for the weekend!

SUUUUU WEEEEEE







We went to the game yesterday and had a blast. Even in the pouring down rain at kickoff......thank Gawd for ponchos. We went with my dearest most mature friend that I have, REBA! She's a hoot to hang with! We all went on our cruise together and had a BLAST!


Anywho, the pigs got slaughtered yesterday! Alabama 35 - Arkansas 7 All that was left of the pigs were a few chitlings. LOL

Got to see every play and every touchdown.......got to hear the elephant squeal MANYYY times.

Getting home was a NIGHTMARE! Football is a second religion in Tuscaloosa.


A good day spent with the girls and my hubby......I haven't seen him much lately so it was nice to hang with the old man for 2 days. HEHE! We'll that has come and gone....back to reality. No husband, kids, school, and long days at work.


Here's a pic of us girls......We were soaking wet so excuse the horrible picture at the concession and smoking area.

Went Shopping

I went shopping when I got off of work so that I could spend my gift cards and birthday $$$. I love Bath and Body Works... I racked up on some perfume, candles galore, lotions, and room sprays. If you love candles go sniff the new "Leaves" candle. OMG, this candle smells GREAT! I should have been a witch since I have an obsession with Yankee candles and Bath and Body Works candles. Instead I am just a WITCH without the W and insert B. HEHE!!
I racked another purse which I can add to my healthy collection. Don't know why I keep buying them because my closet is in serious need of more clothes not purses. My son even commented on how "crazy" it is to go shopping and buy "smelly stuff" and "bags"..... how I love a boy who just doesn't get chicks!
When I get that Versace purse that I have my eye on then I will take my purse collection to the Salvation Army. Oh how I love to dream!
Great week so far....Thank God tomorrow is Friday. I have a mound of paperwork at work to hit earlyyyy in the morning. I don't wanna wake up! LOL
Alabama plays Arkansas on Saturday......Kick some azz Alabama!
Have a great weekend!

Another Bday

When and if I wake up I will be another year older.
I can say that this was a year of truth for me. Sooooo much stuff happened. I will never forget it and will always remember how it has shaped me in both good and bad ways.
While I know the truth about a lot of stuff, I also have a lot of apathy and resentment.

This year:
My father in law passed away
We went on a fabulous cruise...got to see Cozumel and the Grand Caymans
Got to see my son kill his first deer
Got to see my husband and son kill their first wild hogs and a few to follow
Deer hunting ruled the roost around here
Had a wonderful Christmas, the best ever according to my kids
Husbands grandmother lost her house in a fire (STRESSFUL)
Totally remodeled our other home in less than 3 weeks
Got 2 new weiner dogs (grrrrr)
Lost my job that I loved because it closed
Started another job
Pit bills killed my beloved cat
Found that my biological father passed away
Found 2 brothers that I had no clue about and met them
Met my sister for the first time
Got to meet new neices and nephews
Watched my son become a dare devil that is scared of nothing
Got to see many other wonderful things but I honestly can't remember crap right now.

Yep, It might be a crazy life but it is my life!
I will never forget this year....lots of good and bad things happened but it's made me, ME!

Thank God It's Friday!

Finally!!!!!! A long week which I won't discuss because it would be heavy with profanity.
Let's just say, I'm glad that it's Friday. I am done working Saturdays and Sundays. WOOT WOOT! Monday-Friday 7-3pm. I've worked hard to get to where I am now but I don't feel this is where I belong. Accounting is my passion....I love it. You can't argue with numbers, they'll balance out everytime. Anywho, I wish things would turn around with accounting jobs.

I want to scrap this weekend after I clean up this house. I still haven't had a chance to do that.
I think I will play along at the Scrapperie. Fun Fun!

Alabama plays tomorrow.....ROLL TIDE!!!! Maybe they'll play like they did last week in the 2nd half. They need to get their crap together so they can beat LSU! ROFL

Posting pics tomorrow of some of the scrappy stuff that I finished. I never have time to sit down and just post.

We're going tomorrow afternoon to get a Beauty Walk dress......my daughter wants to participate in it this year. I am really undecided about this....she's getting a little too big for her britches this year and I am not loving preteens, their attitudes, backtalking, makeup, standing in front of the mirror all the time, the crying at the drop of a hat, always needing money, the boys, cheerleading, parties, and dances. I could ramble about this subject for hours but having a GIRL SUCKS! Boys are much much much easier! I wouldn't trade her for the world but she's the wild child who will be on a short leash for the next 7 years. LOL

Anywho, hope you have a wonderful weekend! I plan to enjoy mine!

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer

good looking women come from Alabama! HAHA Alabama Vs. FL International 40-14

Great game Saturday night.....lots of fun fans that I got to hang out with. The FL people were a little strange especially in their movie preferences and personalities.

Nothing new around here.....work, games, daily dare devil stuff with my son, getting ready for cheerleading tryouts (Gawd help my soul), and the daily grind..........We have our next cruise planned out for next year.......Going with some friends that I adore but rarely get to see. We're hitting Jamacia, St. Martin, and St. Thomas on a 7 day cruise this time. I am so looking forward to this getaway......MUCH NEEDED .....If I could go now, I would. I need my toes in the water and my ass in the sand, not a worry in the world and a cold margarita in my hand. Life will be good on this day!!!!!


Working on some LSU game stuff.......hopefully my siblings will be able to come and hangout.
Tailgating is always an option too......the enviorment will be awesome especially with 1 LSU fan in the family now. FUN FUN!

Off tomorrow, going to scrap some more pictures.......going to be a long rainy day by myself. I love these kind of days!

Pics tomorrow!
Have a great Monday!!!!!

I love billboards, quotes, and........

I really don't know why but I love quotes, billboards along the road, and I love me some Mancow in the mornings.
I've noticed several churches along the way to work always have a quote up that is sure to get my attention.
Today one read: "Eternity is a long time to think about what you should have done"

I don't know why this hit me the way that it did but it's weighed heavily on my heart all day.

Theres a lot of truth in this saying and it reminds me of some people in my life that should have **thought** more than they did in life. It also is making me think a lot more about how my actions may affect others. Anyway, hope that it inspires you like it did me.

Lovely few days

I had surgery last week and took off for 7 days. Too bad all of those days have come and gone now. Tomorrow is the first day back at work for me.....I really don't feel quite up to it yet.....I'm just now passing kidney stones and feel yucky at times.
My kids spent this past week with their grandmothers house while I was out of it. On Friday, they arrived back in full force........I should have enjoyed the peace and quite with no kids more than I did. They've made up all all of the peaceful nights that I had since last Monday. LOL
Saturday, We (my daughter and I) went fishing and the boys went dove hunting. We were all at the same camp but we went seperate ways once we got there. Us girls, kicked some azz in the game of fishing. We caught 36 brim in less than 1 hour. The boys only scored 2 dove. ROFL
I love days where the girls are better than the boys in an outdoors sport. Can't wait to go back to that fishing lake!
A storm put us in the cabin for the rest of the afternoon.......then we headed back home. A good day and then some ALABAMA FOOTBALL! ROOOLLLLLLL TIDEEEEEEEEE!!
Need I say more? HEHEHEHE

Hope that you had a wonderful Labor Day......the kids and I cooked Ribeyes and roasted vegetables. They spent the day riding 4 wheelers and playing with their friends. I had a surprise visit from my friend in Panama City Beach.....she called at 8am to say she was on her way over. I didn't know she was in town.....she came right on over and I enjoyed seeing her......she didn't care that I was still in my nightclothes. ROFL I miss that girl......she was one of my closest friends that I've had besides my BFF Tammy.

Well, so much for the rambling....gotta get ready for work tomorrow. Long story about work but this should be an interesting week. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK!

Have a great week!!!!
