Hi-We went to seeThe End of the Spear-What courage they had!!! Then I went to Target. When I looked for my cell phone last night,it was gone. Back to the movies and Target, PTL-it was on the floor at Target and someone turned it in. I was all set to cancel. We camped in Valdosta 2 years age when we went to Nashville from here. I bet you could sell things that you make on EBay. Son sells baseball cards-big business. I have to go to Walmart today-I want a rug for under my coffee table-that's why I went to Target. Bye for now Mima

Joanne what a small world that your brother lives in SV! Maybe he and Janne are neighbors. lol She just moved and I don't have her new address. She has a PO box.

Mima, Lucky you for being able to find the cell phone.

Meeting this morning at school about science this morning. I need to be leaving soon to get there on time. I don't like meetings. lol

Have a great day everyone!!

Very stressful day. Push and rush all day long ... really hate days like that! Trying to get the letter ready for the Association Meeting Friday night so our Pastor could sign it tonight at church. They changed so many things at their meeting the other night ... then I couldn't find hubby's notes on what all they had changed. (Unfortunately, I'm the clerk) Called him at work finally to find out where he put them. Took off some members plus a deacon and a bunch of other stuff. Then had to call the pastor and ask HIM a bunch of questions, was on the phone to him 3 times ... he called back and I had to redo the whole thing because he decided he wanted some members left on until he could contact them and make sure they WANTED to be removed. Then had to call the Sun. School Superintendant to get info. Didn't think I was ever going to get that thing done. Meanwhile had trailer customers coming out of the woodwork. One on the phone and two in the driveway with my pastor beeping on call waiting. And I was trying to get ready to go pick up a friend's kid from school, too. One of the trailer customers wanted to hook up a cargo trailer to his truck to see if it would pull it ... THEN ... he wanted me to go for a ride down the road with him. Well ... I finally got to town and had an app. at 3:30 after I picked up Megan. I was going to get my manicurist a Latte ... at 3:25 I got blocked in at the Espresso drivethrugh and the woman in front of me must've ordered 10 cups of coffee ... I was 10 minutes late for my app. It was Megan's first manicure ... she's 13. I'd been promising her for over a year. We were so late getting home - I only had an hour 'till church and I had to get ready and give her a piano lesson, too. On to church with no dinner then out to eat ... got home at 9:45. I feel like I've been run through a meat grinder.

Mother of 3 ... as you can guess ... I work at home. We have a business (utility trailer sales) plus I have been teaching piano for about 30 years now. I used to paint and sell ceramics and I used to sew for people. I also babysat for a while ... I kept several kids when my children were very small but I didn't really enjoy it. When I got both of my kids into school I started substitute teaching. I was the number one substitute at one school in our area and there were a couple of more that called me some but I was usually at the other school almost every day. Plus, I was also teaching piano every afternoon and on Saturday. I've sold quite a bit of stuff on ebay. It isn't hard to do and a lot of people do it. The trick is getting the right product for the right price. If you can't make a decent profit it wouldn't be worth the effort. Hubby's been trying to get me to sell a trailer on there ... I don't want to.

Speaking of trailer ... I still don't have my house trailer ready to rent. I'm losing money every month on that thing. Sometimes I feel like just selling it and getting it out of my face! I don't feel like fooling with all this stuff right now. It's supposed to rain all weekend again!!!

I think selling it is a great idea. There are headaches from renting and YOU don't need another headache. Sounds like a crazy day, Meme. Found someone to take the extra Gaither ticket-the concert is tonight!!! Wonderful class at church last night, Encouragement!!! That's what we do for each other here!! Have a great day everyone-asthma is better!! Mima

Meme, you are so busy!!! I agree with Mima. Sell the house trailer. That's one less thing you have to worry about.

Mima, enjoy the concert!!! I'm sure it will be awesome. Glad the asthma is better.

Bob just left with Kramer to take him to the vet. Getting a growth removed (hopefully) from his rear. Tim is already at school. He had percussion ensemble at 7. They have contest a week from Sat. I've been at school by 7 the past 2 days, so I'm moving slower this morning. We don't have to be there until 8:25. I'm sure my overtime check will be a good one! HA Ha! No overtime at all.

Meme-My son has a condo he rents out. A week ago the tenents called and said a pipe was leaking. He told them to turn off water and he would call plumber. They said they didn't know how.He asked them if their father ever taught them anything.He was really upset. He had to leave work and go over there to shut off water. Well, He waded through 3 inches of water that was running out the front door. The tenents were at work. They just went off and left it!Needless to say there were a lot of upset people.I told them to sell it. Rentals are always a problem.This has cost him and his wife over $1000.
Tammy- Schools down here star at 7 a.m. My daughter is always there at that time.School traffic wakes me up most mornings at 6.30. Ofcourse I get up and go to b/r and go back to bed.
Mima- I have only seen Gaithers on t.v.Have fun.
Tops tonight. I am right on the edge of my goal weight. I have to start being even more careful. I don't really know what else I can do. I haven't been able to exercise as much . My back flares up and hurts to much. Dr. appointment next week. Maybe he will do something about this pain..
Bye...Joanne

I'm still laughing at Kramer's bottom (but I'm sure Kramer isn't laughing - poor thing!)

School in FL must let out early if it starts at 7. Either that or they get out early in summer. It doesn't start until 8 here. I think my DIL lives at school. She teaches 8th. Some evenings when I pick up the kids she doesn't get here for them until nearly 6. She gets there really early and is there a lot on weekends, too. She's a good teacher.

Mima, I love the Gaithers. We got to go to a 3 day concert with them in Pigeon Forge a couple of years ago. Three days of them and a lot of other groups singing and inspirational speakers. It was so good. I'd like to do that again this year.

Renting can be a problem when you get the wrong people. We almost have the trailer finished - needs some paint, window & curtain washing and new blinds. One new door and I think he said the dish washer no longer works so he has to take it out. Hubby doesn't want to sell it. He says we can make as much renting in 2 years as we can get selling. And he's right ... if they don't wreck it in those 2 years. Technically it belongs to me so he SAYS I can do whatever I want ... but you all know how that is!

We have a new ad running in a different paper and the customers are about to drive me nuts. Can't get anything done. Woudn't mind if they were buying instead of just calling wanting prices!

Maybe today won't be as crazy as yesterday was - at least I don't have to go out. But, between the customers and piano students, I guess the 'crazies' will just come in and get me today!!!

The Gaithers were great-especially Signature Sound. Bought a DVD and 2 cd's by them and The Booth Bros, cd, We had great seats!!!!! And I picked them out. I guess Someone was watching out. Going to Mike;s for dinner-DIL's mother's bd-Otherwise known as GS or Big Ma. She is tall compared to me. I am Little Ma. Just going to get her a joke. Cassidy gets clipped today at Petco. Bye for now Mima

I love Signature Sound, they come here often. Like the Booth Bros., too. Lucky you!!!

Another busy day ... and night. Won't bore you with details. Don't want to make you 'dizzy' again. Suffice it to say I won't be sitting much and I won't be going to bed early. That Association meeting is tonight. Dread that!

Rain's coming again ... all the way through Monday. And I was just beginning to feel a little better, too. I can already tell that the pain and stiffness is coming back. Maybe the prednisone I've been taking this week will counteract the rain some this time. I HAVE to get that trailer ready to rent so I hope so. Have Kaylyn's ball game at 8 in the morning and planned to go to Lowes and buy some blinds and come straight home and work on it the rest of the day. Rain may stop me though.

Hope you all have a great weekend ... preferably doing something you enjoy!

Joanne, 7 is early to start school, isn't it? Our HS and MS are starting at 7:35 this year. Elementary starts at 8:55. We all used to start at 8. Still can't get used to the different times. I am looking forward to the day that I can go back to bed!!! Hope your doctor can help you with the back pain.

Meme, Kramer is doing ok. He ended up having 4 things removed. The vet called me at school and asked if it was ok to go ahead and do the others. The one on his rear was very obvious, but the others weren't. She also did his teeth while he was under. Sometimes I feel like I live at school. Most of the time I am there by 7:30-7:45. There have been nights that I stay until 5 or 6. I'm always in on Sat. or Sun. I think most of the elem. teachers do go in on the weekends. With all of the meetings that we have to go to before and after school, we don't have time to get things done in the classrooms.

Mima, glad you enjoyed the concert! I've never seen them in person, but I can just imagine how awesome it would be.

My weekend plans are to read the last book (White by Ted Dekker) in the trilogy. I finished Red last night. Wow! They are good! I think I have things figured out, and then something changes.

Bob and Tim will be working at the old house tomorrow. I'll probably go along and do something. We need to start taking things out to the garage. That will make things look like we're ready to put it up for sale.

Have a great weekend!

Tammy ... when you finish White you should read Blink. My daughter didn't think so, but I think it was better than the trilogy. Also, Three was good. Extreemly weird and not at all what you would expect from Ted Dekker ... but good. There were a couple of more that I read by Him that were good but I can't remember them right now. If you'd like the names, I'll look.

Son put NOrton back on and my puter is not running well agasin but still better with xp. Gotta get that new one picked out!

Had two appts last week and a lunch out with friends and exchanged gifts. the new rheumey did give me my codine but I still do not like using it ...just for those I can't stand days!!!!!!!!!! Ran a CT scan to on my pelvis for that pain I get, want me to try biofeedback but I'm not sure..did years ago and it didn't work. Said the new pain clinic in town is having luck with mind body connection and Fibro patients....I think they just want money!!!!! 180 a visit............insurance pays for some but not all. Then the other option is a phisothearapist with the pelvic floor muscles...that might work......

Rain coming here today too! So I hurt, was actually good for the doc. The trunk blew down on my head and shoulder..so that hurts too.

MIL still no improvement...can't move speak or eat...no fun!

Ouch for the trunk on you!!!!!!!Have you gone to a urologist? I was supposed to go back in Oct but I still ahven't . When I run out of macrodantin I will!!! Meme-Guy Penrod just had his 8th child!!! And it's a girl. !! For those of you that don't know-he has 7 sons. Mark Lowry is having a 3 day thing in Nashville in April and the Gaithers in May. Lucky you to be so close. Went to Mike's for dinner-yum yum. The dog was at the groomer's all day and now he looks like a pig-but beautiful!! Suzanne's boyfriend bought a house!!! Bye for now. Mima

Meme, I saw quite a few of Dekker's books at the library. I plan to read the others after I finish this one.

Candice, 180 a visit seems a bit high to me, but what do I know. Ouch to the trunk coming down on you. We're keeping your MIL in our prayers.

Mima, the dog looks like a pig! What kind is it?
