Odd

So I had this dream last night that I was on the Titanic and I was the only one who knew it was going to sink. Not sure where that one came from. I know that Jake and Meika were on board, as was Tom Hoffman. But other than that I don't know who else.
I just got my hair trimmed. It feels so good. And smells so good cause it's been washed with awesome salon shampoo.
Today was our trike-a-thon. We set up a little track in the parking lot and the kids bring their bikes from home. They get pledge money for the school then. They can either do a flat rate or a certain amount per lap. They're cute. And I labored and toiled over making these road signs that we have stand up and it was too windy and they all fell over and broke. And if they didn't fall over they got ran over by an out of control child. Terribly depressing. But at least they looked cute for a few minutes.
Mom and Dad and a whole bunch of other people are coming this weekend for Homecoming 2007. We have a football game and a dance. And I made homecoming court this year. Vote for me! Okay so actually it's just a weekend with all the bluegrass and southern gospel music you could possibly want. But it should be fun.
All right I'm hungry so I'm gonna go home now. Bye.
Oh and by the way, those road signs I was talking about? They're not stolen or anything they're just made out of posterboard.

Gotta love them proposals!

I got proposed to at Wal-Mart today three times by the same guy. I also got totally scammed by him. I'm really mad at myself and embarrased too that I fell for it. Well, take that back. I didn't really fall for it but the guy was ruthless and I was ready to pay him just to back off. He was standing out front and when I walked up he said I dropped something so of course I turn around and look. And that's how we started our nice chat. His story was that he was from Bosnia and over here on some kind of program but he had to earn points to get money for his education. And in order to get points he has to sell magazines. I said I didn't want any magazines and he said I could buy a subscription to a Disney magazine and donate it to the local children's hospital. I mean this guy was totally messing with me. He asked me three times to marry him throughout the conversation, at one point he told me I was on candid camera, and every time I said something he liked he said "Oh I love you too." He was really weirding me out and I told him that but he couldn't seem to figure out why. So I should have just been rude and walked away but I just couldn't make myself be that mean. But at least I didn't go down without a fight. I asked him all kinds of questions and I told him over and over I didn't think he was legit. And first he told me 45 dollars for a 3 year subscription and then at the end he said 60 dollars. Because there was a one time processing fee. There was no way I was paying that much so as soon as he could see that, he only conned me out of the 45. He said "You just watch, I'll be talking to someone else when you come out." But when I left Wal-Mart he was nowhere to be seen. And I may have been gullible but at least I wasn't stupid. I paid with cash and refused to give him my name or address. I thought Yeah right I'll give you my debit card number or a check with all my information on it! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me so mad when I think about it. But I can't do anything about it now so I guess I'll just have to chalk it up as a learning experience.
But on another note, Wal-Mart did make my heart happy because they have their big Christmas section open now. I didn't linger, but I did have to stick my head in for just a minute. And speaking of happy hearts, one of my kids saw that I was getting frustrated today and he said "Miss Sarah! Open up your heart and let the sun shine in!" He made me laugh. I wasn't terribly frustrated, it was just a few minutes things started to get a little crazy. But control was regained and all was well. Until I went to Wal-Mart..........

That's how I feel today. Mostly because I'm excited about being in Roanoke for the weekend so the days are starting to slow down drastically. But tomorrow is Friday and we're leaving once the kids are down for nap. Anyways, that's the plan. That's been the plan before when there's more than just me travelling but it has fallen through. So hopefully the plan happens this time around. I had a dream last night that I can't remember for the life of me. But I do know that I woke up with a start and didn't know where I was. And once I decided I was in my room I couldn't figure out how to get out. The door was in the wrong spot or something. But eventually everything got settled and I managed to get out.
Supposedly they're calling for storms tonight. Just so long as a tornado don't come and blow away our cars so we can't leave.
I'm very tired. I even got more sleep last night than I have in awhile. Musta been cause I was dreaming so hard. But anyways, I just can't think of much to say. Maybe next week I can tell you all about my weekend of focusing on being single. Or at least talk about my Doc's experience. That's got to be pretty exciting. But until then.... tootles!

Oops

I didn't mean to publish that last one without writing anything. Sorry bout that. But I just don't know what to write about. Umm...... last weekend was a lot of fun with Brad and Patty. This weekend is our board meeting and next weekend I'll be in Roanoke for Single Focus Weekend and I'm really hoping someone will go to Doc's with me. I bet I'll be able to convince someone. Last night me and Melissa went out to eat with Mark Masters (he's the newest guy on the board) and it was really fun. I used to be really close to his daughter and seeing him makes me miss her because she looks so much like him and all her mannerisms and everything are like him and so all of a sudden I wanted to be back in high school writing letters back and forth with Deanna again. Tonight we're eating with all the board members at a good ol' hole in the wall southern place. Mike always picks really classy places. (that was sarcastic in case you didn't notice) I guess he figures most of the places down here are up there too so he wants to give them a southern cooking experience. And for those of you who have never had one of those experiences, let me explain. There is no food known to mankind that you cannot deepfry. Or BBQ. But not ground beef BBQ. Shredded meat topped with slaw (not the mayonaisey kind from the north- more of a vinegar based slaw) and BBQ sauce. And not the kind that's probably in your fridge. More of a runny, kind of vinegary based sauce too. They do have normal kinds of sauce, but the runny kind is always an option wherever you go. Now, a lot of this stuff tastes really good going down, but about 1/2 hour after it's down you feel like you have a huge rock in your stomach and the best thing to do is just go to bed and hope you feel better in the morning. So if you ever get a hankering for something like that, just come on down and I'll help you out. All right Angie, I posted again. And that's all I have this afternoon. Oh- I bought new shoes today. If you want to see them, come to Roanoke next weekend.

I know I know

Visitors!

Brad and Patty are coming this weekend. I'm really excited. We're going to go to the Fiddler's convention. Don't tell Meika. She'll be awfuly jealous. Love you all.

Funny Stuff

So picture this really fat kid named Eric. Now, I love him to pieces. He is really lovable and cuddly and he is hilarious. You never know what he's going to come up with. Friday he told me that he was Eric the Barbarian. He's four. How does he even know that word? But today topped all. We were headed outside after snack this afternoon and Miss Barbara told him to get a drink before he came out so he wouldn't have to go back in right away. He says "No, I can't. Water gives me gas." I just had to enlighten you all with that story:)
