Blog Block

I have writer's block.

I keep asking Graham to blog to kick it up a notch and make it interesting, but he absolutely REFUSES. So, I have resorted to asking him what to blog and he just says "why don't you write about how much you are annoying me right now." So sweet.

Update on my life: SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER! I have been kiddo-free (Graham hates the word kiddo, therefore I will be using it as much as possible) for one week, but I have still had to go to school and have tons of meetings. I would much rather be hanging out with my kiddos than talk logistics with adults.... Graham is working extremely hard on the farm and I will be shopping and cooking for the packing house in a week or so! Riggs is currently LOVING his new XL bed from Orvis that came in today, but still hangs half of his body off of it when he sleeps using only a fourth of the pillow...figures.

As for my readers...I think my little brother is the only one. Enjoy Davis!

Scratch that...

So scratch that last part about getting a new coffee table. We will definitely be getting something new but it will most likely be a new rug......he did it AGAIN!

I am currently trying to figure out what is wrong with our dog (FYI there is nothing wrong I just bug Graham trying to diagnose him with all sorts of things....the final verdict is that he is a puppy who likes to chew).

School countdown....2 days left! We are going to put shaving cream on our desks tomorrow and draw with our fingers...stir crazy and out of things to do?? ABSOLUTELY!

Sweet Riggs...Gone Bad

So we were sitting in the living room Saturday night trying to get the energy to go downtown. It was Graham and I on the couch and Riggs eating a bone on the rug (supposedly) when I heard the most horrible sound EVER!

My darling, precious puppy had eaten a soft ball sized hole in my BRAND NEW POTTERY BARN RUG!

I am getting sick just thinking about it. Of course, I lash out and yell at Graham like he had gotten down on all fours and chomped at the rug, and I carry on like a child that had just dropped their ice cream cone on the ground. We did not go out that night as we were both livid at the dog and out of the mood (probably because of my hysterics).

Needless to say, a little good comes out of this horrifying tale. My birthday is coming up and Graham has decided that I could get the sea grass coffee table that I have wanted that will just so happen cover the crime scene. Happy Birthday to Me!

Sorry!

I have been a terrible blogger lately. I have been informed that I need to have another post but...that means I have to think of something to update my readers on my life and there's not much going on with me ( I was afraid this would happen...see first post).

If you note the time, I am at school right now. I am waiting on my chillen's to get back from P.E. We only have 6 more days of school left and I am happy yet sad at the same time. Although this year has been challenging with all new experiences, these are the only students I have ever had that were ALL MINE. They are precious. Thank goodness they will be 5 steps away in the second grade classrooms!

Enough mush..today is the Lower School Talent Show. My whole class is doing an act (cross your fingers). Some of you will remember singing The 50 States That Rhyme at Royal Elementary. Well, I have brought that song to BA and they are SOOO CUTE! If you don't know what it is...it is the 50 states sung in a rhyme fashion in alphabetical order...quite the talent...especially when they do it DOUBLE TIME! I'll let you know how it goes...they've only done it once through without a melt down.

Well, its time to go get them. They will be wired for sound and wild as can be after P.E....I promise to do better about posts..although there is rarely any juicy, out-of-this world information I can offer. It is just me, Graham, Riggs, tomatoes, and 15 angels!

Thursday's Thirteen

Apparently when you blog you use this new lingo like Fun Friday, Wordless Wednesday, and such. Well, today is Thursday's 13.

13 Things that I LOVE (Excluding Family, Friends, and Riggs):

13. Mexican food...Actually went tonight. I guess it goes back to Monterrey days at Clemson where we all seemed to know when a Mexican fix was needed and the boys said it was disgusting...
12. Sleeping in...In the "real-world" it doesn't happen as much as I would like....
11. Good Songs...You know the song that you can belt in the car with your friends...
10. Starburst...old school tropical flavor (not a big fan of the new kind)
9. Tulips...I pick up a couple of bouquets every time I go to Publix. Just having them in the house makes me smile...Graham still hasn't gotten the point...
8. Dancing...not the dancing in front of your mirror kind of dance but ballet and performing on stage..I miss it alot.
7. Lists...and I don't see how people live a day without them!
6. Summer...I love everything about it..the cute tops, warm weather, and tropical drinks.
5. Shopping...enough said.
4. The Beach...beach houses, the ocean, the sand, the sun, and reading a book all day in an uncomfortable beach chair.
3. Teaching...Everyday is completely different...I can't believe how much I have taught them this year...and I don't even have to wear those horrifying teacher sweaters!
2. Clemson...Football, baseball, the skunk smell when you drive in, the 4 amazing years I spent there and the lifelong friends I met.
1. Birthdays...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARSHALL (this is actually two-fold...Marshall has been the biggest critic about my fabulous blog BUT she has been bugging me about posting again....hmmm somebody's hooked!
