It’s Book Fair Time!

How many of you have fond memories of the book fair from when you were in school? I always loved it. I don’t remember there being an actual “book fair” on site, but I know we got those cool order forms and I always picked out the books and posters I wanted and put in [...]

Happy October!!

Okay, who can believe that it’s already October?! Seriously. This year is FLYING by at the speed of light. The years definitely seem to get faster the older I get. I guess that’s true of most of us, right? I just can’t get over that today is October 1st because it seems like it was [...]

Four Days ’til First Grade…

Macey starts first grade in four days. Well, technically, less than four days now since the day is almost over. The big day will be here before we know it. Wow!
Today we got to meet her wonderful teachers. Macey tends to be a bit reserved in new situations, but she was definitely happy to meet [...]

The state of things…

Good morning!
Well, there are is some good news to report from our home front this morning. The leaky pipe in our basement is fixed. YAHOO!! The plumber finally got here three hours after he said he would yesterday, but at least he got here and got the leak properly fixed at last. That’s great news!

Bring On Spring

I have an extra pep in my step this morning. Maybe it’s because I worked out last night and then actually got to bed on time. But, maybe it’s because we’re getting ready to get some springlike weather in the next few days. Today, it’s supposed to get up to 65 here. By Sunday it’s [...]

Early Release Day

It’s early release day for our public schools. That means Miss Macey will be coming home early today. Yay!! Actually, I plan to pick her up even before the regular release time so that we can have lunch together as a family. On early release days, they still feed the students lunch, only they move [...]

No Snow Day For Us…

Well, yesterday’s snow turned out to be a dusting. We still have some on the ground, but the accumulation was not much at all. We didn’t even go out to play in it. Still, it was really neat to see it snowing most all day. Just goes to show how varied weather can be because [...]

Keep Nurses in Georgia Schools!

From the Georgia Association of School Nurses:
In 2000 the Governor at that time (Barnes) appropriated $30 million of the Tobacco Settlement funds toward School Nurse Salaries. In 2004 that money was moved to the Department of Community Health to be used to draw down federal match funds to support the Indigent Care Trust funding for [...]

We love Kindergarten!

I neglected to come back and report about Macey’s first day of Kindergarten. That’s because we have been BUSY as bees around here, but in good ways.
The first day for Macey was terrific. She loved it! She got to ride the bus home and thought that was quite possibly the coolest mode of transportation [...]
