Trying it again!
Well, gonna try to update my blog and see if it works this time. I didn't get to go out with my friend Kisha last week....she had to cancel. I was so bummed. Oh well. I got some really sweet notes from some of my youth group. They were supposed to write a thank you note to someone who has made a difference in their life (big or small) and put two blue ribbons in it. One is to keep and the other, you are to write someone who has made a difference to you and include blue ribbons. This wasn't my idea....another couple of parents were doing the program. They were so sweet though. :) Makes you feel all warm and tingly! This weekend is the big race weekend.....heading to Bristol on Friday. I can't wait. Of course I want my man Tony to win. But I have another driver I really like too. His name is Carl Edwards and if he wins a race, he does a backflip off the car..... soooo cool!! He won both races last weekend. I would love to see him win live. But of course, I'll be wearing my Home Depot orange! LOL And we will be riding in style. We got Bobby a new (used) car. His was totally falling apart. He has a 2001 Ford Taurus now and it is REALLY nice....loaded. Can't wait to take it on the road trip. Well, gotta get Claire's homework done and a bath and then American Idol. Of course, I'll be voting for Bo!! LOL

I so don't love my job right now!!
Phew....glad I got Monday over with. I really don't love my job right now. I won't go into details. They just do STUPID things!! I just have to remind myself why I am there....to pay my bills to take care of my family. As long as that paycheck keeps coming, that is what matters. Sometimes that is hard to remember when I am there. But, I get to have a girls night out with my buddy, Kisha, on Thursday. She used to work there so I can vent to her. She is super cool. She didn't work there long but we got to be really good friends while she was there and have kept in touch. She is young (mid-20s) but she has definitely got her head on straight. We can talk about anything. And we laugh all the time!! We kid each other about the racial thing all the time and it is so cool because we don't have to worry about offending each other. We have basically figured out the three major differences between black and white people are their hair (trust me, I have asked lots of questions about that! LOL), the churches (although not all white people go to the uptight kind of church I do), and funerals. We totally disagree on politics (she is a democrat), but we can agree to disagree on that issue. I told her if she would listen to at least one hour of Rush Limbaugh, that I would watch Farenheit 911. Needless to say, neither of us stuck to that! LOL I can't wait until Thursday. We'll go eat, have a few drinks and LOTS of laughs. I really need that right now!! Talk to y'all soon!! Luv ya!!!

My looong weekend
Hey guys!! It has been a while....sorry. Our weekend in Walterboro went pretty well. I thought Thursday would be the hardest day because Mitch died on March 3rd, but Bobby thought it would be Wednesday because the 3rd was a Wednesday last year. Obviously, Judy (Mitch's wife) thought it was the hardest also. Mitch's dad met Judy at the grave Wednesday afternoon and they talked for about an hour. We got to Walterboro about 8:00 and Emily, Judy's daughter, showed up not long after that. We had a campfire in the backyard and it ended up being me and Emily staying out at the fire talking. We had a nice long talk. She said she doesn't talk to many people about Mitch but that she felt really comfortable talking to me about him. She talked about a lot of fun times they had. We also talked about his death and how we had both reacted to it. It was a good talk. Emmi is 18 now and a beautiful girl and soooo sweet. Mitch was so proud of her....treated her like she was his own. She put a memorial in the paper. It was a poem with a picture of him and her. It was sooooo sweet. I will try to get them scanned. Judy put one in too. The next day, me and Bobby took flowers out to Mitch's grave. Then me, Judy and Emily did a little shopping. Not many places to shop in Walterboro! LOL That night, we went out to eat with several of their friends. Bobby and I left Friday to get home to go to the Shinedown concert....I'll get to that later. Judy was supposed to come to Spartanburg on Sunday and go to church with us. She had put the flowers on the alter in church in his memory on Sunday. (Mitch grew up in our church). Well, she called Sunday morning and said she had been up since about 3am having anxiety attacks and crying and said she couldn't come. I didn't realize that it was a year to the day that we buried Mitch so I guess it was a tough day for her. She took some meds and went to bed. The flowers were really beautiful. I took some pics with Erin's digital camera but have to wait for her to show me how to download them. Anyways, it was two vases of flowers (she was supposed to take one to put on his grave). Me and Bobby took the flowers out to Woodruff (where he died) and put them out there. We lit a fire and hung out there for a while. After that, we took the other vase of flowers and put them on my grandma's grave. We have talked to Judy since and she is feeling better. I can't imagine how hard it must be for her, especially since Emmi has moved out now.
Now....on to the Shinedown concert. Of course, it was AWESOME!!!! And of course, I cried when they played 45. But let me tell you, Tremont Music Hall is a DUMP!!!! I would never go back there. We had such a hard time finding it. We got the directions off of their website and still had to stop about three times to ask directions. And of course after the concert, we had to take a "tour" of Charlotte before we could finally find the interstate. I hate big cities!! LOL We are going to see Green Day next month at Cricket Arena in Charlotte. I sure hope it is easier to find. I know it will be nicer. And we have pretty good seats too. Haven't been able to get on the computer much lately. I have the girls on a "computer schedule" now. Claire loves to get on it and play games and she starts fussing when Erin gets on because she wants on! LOL So now, on week nights, Claire gets the computer from 7 to 8 and Erin gets it from 8 to 9. Doesn't leave much time for Mom!! LOL Thank goodness Bobby is computer illiterate!! We'll play the weekends by ear. Well, gotta get Claire Bear in the tub and then pick Erin up from drama practice. Talk to you all soon!!
