Today is Sunday and we have so much to do!! What happened to Sunday being a day of rest?!? Well, Chris is getting all of his rest it's almost 12:00 and he is still sleeping! We have to pack some more stuff then we are going to bring some of the boxes to the storage unit.
Saturday was such a fun day!! I woke up and relaxed and packed some stuff. I got dressed around 1:00 and Ashlie, Kim, and I went and got our nails done. It did not take to nail place long to do them and they look so good! After getting our nails done we went to hooters to hold a table for the LSU game. We got there at 3:15 and the game didn't even start until 6:45!! We had fun having girl time though. We each ordered a drink and shared some fried pickles. The time went by fast just talking and having fun. Finally everyone showed up and we watch the amazing game!! We had 16 people in our party and it was just a blast.
The first half of the game we were behind, but as everyone showed know by now LSU always makes the comeback in the second half of the game. LSU won the game 26-21!!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful work week and hopefully it will go by fast!! We have to move out next weekend!!

What's going on?!?!
I was so excited when I signed on today and saw that just about everyone updated their blog!!
This weekend was so much fun!! Friday night I went to the melting pot with my mom and sister Lendie!! We had so much fun, it was my moms first time to go.
Saturday I woke up and just relaxed for a little bit then we went to Terry and Kim's house for the LSU vs. North Texas game. We had a blast. Ashlie and Jacob came, as well as Lauryn and Tommy. We didn't really watch much of the game b/c we were winning by so much. We mostly played games and just hung out.
Sunday Chris and I went to his grandmother's house to celebrate his dads birthday!!
The only thing that didn't go so well this weekend is that our hot water heater broke!!! We have no hot water!! Thank God my best friend lives next door to me and said we can go over there to take showers. So far we have just been taking cold showers but I think tomorrow morning i'm going to go over there if that is ok.
We have starting packing to move out of our house by Oct. 1. We also started renting a storage unit that is climate controlled to store our stuff in. The man who owns that storage company we are renting from was so nice that he let us pay for Oct. and have Sept. for free!! We don't have to pay again until Nov. This is good b/c as we get stuff packed we can bring it to the storage unit instead of just letting it pile up till the 1st of Oct.
School was good today except that one of my kids was just dead set on breaking my arm, which obviously didn't happen!! Then at the end of the day when I thought my day was over one of the bus drivers brings a kid back to school saying that no one was at the house to get the kid. I took the child by the hand and brought him into the office to see what we needed to do. The principal said that the bus driver needed to bring the kid back to the house b/c someone was there. When I walked back outside the driver had left already. When we tried to get in touch with the driver he refused to come back and get the child. This really pissed me off b/c I didn't leave school until 4:20 dealing with an issue that the bus driver just threw on me!! I eventually left and the vice principal stayed with the child. I still have no idea out the child got home!!
Well this post is longer then what I was planning on. Have a Wonderful Day!!

We have Cable and Internet!!!!
Ok so since Monday Sept. 1 we have not had Cable or Internet. I never realized how much we watch t.v and use the computer!!
We were truly blessed during the hurricane. We did not have any trees fall on our house like so many other people did. We stayed at my parents house during the hurricane b/c during Katrina they only lost power for about 15 min. This time they lost power for 4 days!! The power was out at our house for almost 5 days!! Everything that was in our refridgerator we had to throw away! This storm completely sucked and cost us a lot of money, but I still say we were blessed b/c everything of ours that is worth anything was ok.
I never realize how much I take little everyday things for granted. I just assume in the morning that when I wake up and flip a switch the light will come on. There are so many people that don't have that luxury and yet I don't think twice about it. My eyes have really been opened through all of this!!
We returned back to school this monday after being out a week because of Gustav. East Baton Rouge Parish schools haven't gone back to school yet. Their first day back is going to be this coming up Monday. I am so happy that we still went to school even though they didn't because they are going to have to make the missed time up somewhere. I'm happy that we won't be going to school through June!!
I am missing all of my friends but I know that we will be getting together soon!! I hope everyone's life is starting to get more back to normal!!
