Journal Survey in Life
What does your online diary name mean, and why did you pick it? My diary name is Dream Seeker. I chose it because I feel like I am seeking a dream. Not necessarily the same one I was when I start...
Just stopping by for a visit in Life
There’s really not much going on to share, but honestly, there’s usually not a whole lot. :) My life is pretty bland, especially in the summer. I’m taking today off. I may not even take off my pj...
So is it really summer? in Life
Technically we’re a couple of weeks into summer break, but it doesn’t feel like it. I was sick the first week and now I’m going up to school almost every day. First it was packing up my “old” roo...
New 'do in Just in Case
I got my hair cut and colored today. I like the color. We finished school with the kids today. Normally it’s a day with lots of tears, but I know that I’ll have the same kids next year, so it w...
Get two cats they said in Life
It’ll be fun, they said. It’ll be easier they said. Well....they LIED!!! lol Well, I guess not completely, it is fun. But it’s most definitely not easy. For the past few days I’ve noticed that wh...
Cough, cough in Life
I took my mental health day today. As far as the school knows, I have a doctor’s appointment. I feel guilty as hell. My plan was to sit and relax, maybe read all day, and I’m all antsy and wonder...
We are two days into the torture that is state testing. It’s been a rough couple of days. I have a student who is pushing every button I have. I’m working really hard to not let him get to me but...
Catching up... in Just in Case
Catching up on sleep and on y’all. The end of the week was pretty rough. We had a 4H field trip Thursday. I’m not a sponsor any more, but due to the number of kids going, I went as a chaperone. ...
Tootie in recovery in Life
I got to talk to Tootie today. It really made me feel better. She had it rough yesterday. The anesthesia really made her sick, she’s like me and gets car sick really easily, so that made it worse...
Stopping by for a Visit in Life
I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’ve been here, until I realized how far behind I was in reading y’all’s diaries. I’m caught up now. :) Things are going ok here. We’ve still got a lot...
Water Water Everywhere in Life
I don’t know if y’all have seen it on the news, but we are getting tons of rain down here. Some parts of the state have received 20 to 30 inches in the past few days. It’s really bad. Thousands a...
Just a Couple of Pics in Just in Case
I don’t get many close ups of Stella, but I love her little foot with the tan sock and then the little white toe tips. Y’all kniw I hate being in pictures, but here’s me dressed for our Dr. Seus...
Just checking in in Just in Case
It’s been an active week, so sort of bullet style I’m going update some stuff, because I’m finding it far too easy to come read and not update. Tootie’s surgery was scheduled for Monday, but the ...
I hate trying to come up with a title in Just in Case
Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s been an incredibly hard couple of days. I came home exhausted (I HATE anything that brings attention to myself, so no one knew, except those I was eating w...
Heartbroken in Just in Case
I’m at a conference and got a phone call that shattered my world. One of our 6th graders, one of my sweet former 4th graders died last night. I’m presenting and have other responsibilities so I ...
Bad selfie, New Hair in Just in Case
So I suck at selfies. I hate taking them. I got a new color and ‘do today. Not as crazy as she wanted me to go, but I like it. I’ll have company tomorrow night. Cbaby is coming to stay with me t...
A day with the girls in Just in Case
I spent the day with Tootie and Cbaby today. We went crawfishing and had no luck at all. (It was way too cold, but Tootie was determined that we were going to catch some.) We spent a couple of ho...
I was this close to being eaten by Bigfoot! in Just in Case
So, I came home yesterday to this I can only guess that this one was trying to save me from an attack from Bigfoot or something equally ferocious. Of course she’s now curled in a purring ball on...
Meet Stella and Luna in Just in Case
I finally settled on names for the girls. Stella Luna (as in Stellaluna, the children’s book). This is Stella. She’s the quieter of the two for the most part. She’ll run around and play, but is ...
Meet Sister 1 & 2 in Just in Case

Just drifting by in Life
I’m sitting here snuggled up in my pjs and fluffy blanket, loving the cool weather. We’ve had frost every morning this week. Still, every day there are kids coming to school in shorts. :( Some j...
I'm that person in Life
You know, in ever horror movie made, there’s that one person who hears the strange sound and goes out to check. It doesn’t matter how much you yell at them, they go out and dun dun dunnnnnn they...
2015 It's been a slice, but see ya later. in Life
2015 hasn’t been the best of years. It hasn’t been the worst, either, but it’s year I’ll gladly say good-bye to. It started with Tootie finally getting the word that she had graduated from coll...
An odd sort of Christmas in Life
This year was an odd Christmas. There was just so much going on. The past couple of months has included my cousin with the brain injury that ended up having to have brain surgery. My mom has b...
Hmmmmm in Just in Case
I found out this evening that Tootie and Bubba’s father died today. As a human I feel the same remorse that I would for any other human that died. No…really I don’t. To be honest, I feel nothing ...
