Fightin' mad

This was on a fighter plane from WWII - but this is how I feel now.

I have to say that I'm very disappointed in how things are going in our government. Let's just take out the fact that I'm republican and Obama is a democrat. I don't understand how our government - everyone - can be spending the money they are?? My children will be in debt, and they're not even born yet! This has to stop some way or another. It's time that the United States comes together to figure this out. Our forefathers created this country with compromise and team work. They put what was best for the people. How can we teach our children how to work together, how to compromise, how not to be selfish, if all they see the exact opposite?!

A suggestion: Focus on our country, on the people that break their backs every day to help make this country the great country that it is. Foreign ministers, especially our enemies, should be in the back ground right now. We're losing a battle to regain our country right now. I have hope, most citizens have hope, but sadly I don't think our President does. But alas, they did get a First dog and Mrs. President has awesome fashion - what more could we need!

Ok I'm off my soap box.

Pictures from Savannah

Me with the Paula cut-out while waiting in line.

This was the line that my dad and I waited in for an hour. The beginning is at the far end of the street and it wrapped completely around the building! (It was 35 degrees with 20 mph winds)

Dad, Grampie, Grammie, and Mom out front River Stree Sweets - Grammie's favorite!

Long Weekend

It was another long weekend at class. At least this weekend went by a lot faster then the last 2 - thank god!! We did a lot with creating web pages, doing the codes, and what not. Very interesting, but I can tell you that there's no way I could survive doing a desk job. When I wasn't working on the computer I was snacking - a couple more days of that and I'd look like a boat.

I got my friend Lee to join Bodyplex with me so now I have someone to work out with! :) I'm pumped. I always wanted to do the classes but was too embarrassed to do them by myself. CRCT is almost done. 3 days this coming week and then its smooth sailing til the end of the year. I'm really proud of how my kids have handled everything so far. I'm praying, and feel pretty confident, that they did well. I'm going to get them all a treat after its all over - maybe Chick-fil-a breakfast (something I'll enjoy too).

24 days left until summer vacation! :)

The Deen Brothers

My mom, Jamie Deen, Bobby Deen, and me...Yeah we were excited!

It's been a while

It's been a while since my last post - sorry I've been sick and busy at school. Things over the last month have been good. I got the flu the week before spring break, missed two days of work, and then got everyone else sick over spring break. But spring break was great. My parents came into town and we went to Savannah for two days. My soul purpose of going to Savannah was to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant. We went Monday night to scope things out and to shop at her shop. My dad and I got up early Tuesday morning and got to the restaurant by 8:40 (they didn't start taking reservations until 9:30). Long story short we got reservations for lunch at got there a little early. I noticed a line in the gift store, but it wasn't for the registers. I did a triple take and what did I see....Jamie and Bobby Deen - Paula's sons!! I was pumped! My mom and I got a picture and autograph. It was great!

Anyways, break was great. Way to short. And Brad worked 124 hours in two weeks- yeah I didn't see him very much. We have 5 days of CRCT coming up and I'm really not looking forward to it. They kids are stressed, the teachers are stressed, and I still don't have a position for next year. But once CRCT is over with we only have 20 days (give or take) of school left. I can't wait for the summer!
