1st week of August

I didn't post last week. All I can say is that I completely fizzled out in that last week of my summer. I didn't do anything I planned to do like paint Tyler's room and so on. I didn't do SQUAT. I sat in the chair and watched Judge Judy and all those other judges, and Dr. Phil and Oprah. That's it. And I don't even regret it.
Now, moving on to this week - it went by like lightning. I went back to work and for once I think I actually got everything ready enough to start school next week. I'm usually never ready on time. Tanner stayed with Papaw and Brooke, Tyler slept til I got home pretty much lol. I'll just sum up the week:

* Took Tyler to 9th grade orientation and got his locker and stuff.
* We went to Keith's house to swim last Sunday.
* We met with Trip and Lisa about possible new plans for making a band.
* Have not seen Drew ALL week - kinda odd after having him here nonstop for a week and a half.
* I received recognition at the district's opening convocation for achieving National Board Certification. I got my special yellow badge that says "master teacher" and everything lol.
* Tyler leaves this afternoon for a youth "mystery trip" and gets back tomorrow.
* Mom took Tanner and Brooke to the build-a-bear workshop where they made their own stuffed animals - Tanner believes that his is alive, needs to eat, needs to sleep, and needs a bath. And he simply can not BELIEVE Tyler could leave on a church trip the very first day that this new family member is here.
* Mom cooked Sunday dinner for us all last Sunday. Chris and family were there also, it was really nice having us all together. And she made okra too. lol
* We did our monthly restaurant thing Monday night, went to Ryan's and had a great time.

Surely more has happened than that and I'm leaving it out. It's hard to cover 2 whole weeks at once lol. But here is at least one picture - of Tanner and "Ty", our new family member.
