Drama, Drama, Drama

I need to borrow Mom's poster that says, "Save your drama for your Lama". There is so much drama going on surrounding prom, it is causing my head to hurt. Problems with limos, too many people in limos, where people are going to eat, pictures, dates, changing dates, etc. I don't understand the mentality of boys. One senior dumped his date 3 days before prom because someone who needed to get a date since her original one can't go asked him. That set off a tidal wave of changes and I hope and pray all of the date walls will be right. I have a feeling I will be making changes to the lead out script about 7:55 on Saturday night:(.... But I can have solace in the chocolate covered strawberries designed like tuxedos. Of course, I have to have willpower because they will be in my refrigerator on Friday night. All in all, save for this week, the planning and work has gone wonderfully well. My mothers have been the BEST moms that anyone could ask for. They have done the majority of the work. I have just signed off on things and accepted things when they were delivered. I can't wait to see it all come together. And while I love the senior class and loved working with them last year, this prom will be like none other that Tattnall has ever seen. I can't wait....

Spring

Why is Spring always SO busy? I always say I am not going to be as busy as the last year so I can enjoy spring, and it never happens. We officially have started summer here. The temperature today was close to 90 degrees. You were sweating in the shade. I miss cool temps, now I love wearing my crop pants and Capri pants, but I miss the cool evenings.

I had dinner tonight with a friend. El Sombreo... Yummy. We are both in grad school and even though we live one flight of stairs away from each other, we never seem to see each other. So, we went to dinner tonight and then I showed her the house. She happens to love my chandelier, so I might sell it to her.

God reminded me today how much he loves me and cares for me. I had to go to the dentist yesterday, yuck!! I love my dentist and his office staff, I just hate the process. Anyway, I have had a old filling fall out and have a cavity. :(. $350.oo to fix it since I don't have dental insurance. I called mom last night and told her and she told me not to worry about the money, we would find a way to take care of it. Well, I got home today and checked the mail and found my state income tax refund. You guessed it, it was enough to take care of the dental bill. God has a way of slapping me upside the head to remind me of His everlasting mercy and grace. I wish I could remember that every day.

This week will be busy as Prom is NEXT Saturday. I can't believe that it is almost here. We will be ready and I am just ready for it to be over. When it is over, that means class is almost over for grad school and I can start working on my house. One month from today and I will be living in my house. I can't wait!!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday and get outside and enjoy the pretty weather!!

It's REALLY MINE

So, I closed on the house this past Wednesday. Doing my little part to stimulate the economy. Of course, because of scheduling, I could not attend any of the Tax Day Tea Parties. I hated not being able to attend, but I did love watching the one from Atlanta on tv.

We amazingly closed on the house on the original date in the contract. No one involved thought it would happen that day, but God knew it would and he worked everything out. I went over on Thursday night and stood in the middle of my living room and screamed at the top of my lungs simply because I could and no one could hear me or complain!!! Now, I have lots of work to do before I move in. (Paint, yard work, ect.) There is motivation to get it done and unpacked and put away quick once I move because some dear friends of mine are giving me a housewarming party on May 30. So, I have to have everything put away so company can come and visit. My sister did give me my first housewarming gift this past weekend, a bucket of little odds and ends that I will need. Paint brushes, a hose nozzle, citronella candles, gardening gloves, etc. Thanks Angie, I love you bunches!!!

Grad school is beginning to wind down. I am done with the work for one class, I just have two more class sessions to attend. The other classes work is almost done. I can't wait for the month break from school that is coming. Prom planning is going great. We are in the last minute details stage now. The kids and parents have been awesome and its going to be an amazing prom. But, I will be glad when it is over.

I am heading to bed because I have still not recuperated from Gran Nite Friday night at Disney. I am too old to stay up all night anymore. Have a happy Monday!!

Spring Break

Well, Spring Break is almost over. We actually enjoyed a day of sunshine today. So, mom and I went to Milledgeville to see about my financial aid and we got that straightened out. I also tried to fight paying 300 extra dollars in fees simply because I have to go to Milledgeville this summer instead of Macon for classes. I don't think I should have to pay them since the university is the one that scheduled the classes there and not in Macon. But, to no avail, I pleaded my case and got nowhere. If I had more time and energy this spring, I might fight it, but I don't so I will suck it up and pay the extra money and get out of there in December. Just don't come calling me asking for alumni donations cause you won't be getting any. Samford REALLY spoiled me. This whole public university thing is a bunch of crap!!

Spring Break was fun although it rained cats and dogs for most of it. I am talking flash floods and flood warnings, people being rescued and all that. It has rained almost 10 inches in 10 days in Macon. We now officially have NO MORE DROUGHT!!! Mom and I postponed the planned trip to IKEA for May since I did not brave the storms and go to Milledgeville yesterday. But Wednesday, we did brave the elements, I felt like I needed webbed feet, and headed to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Lowes to look for stuff for my house warming registery. I have not registered yet because we have not picked a date, I will keep you posted. I think mom had more fun than I did and who knew that there were so many choices for a front door light fixture???? I have most everything picked out, but I still have to decide on one final paint color and light fixtures. I can't decide on a shade of blue or what fixture I like for the dining room. The chadelier from the 70s has got to go. Its getting close now, 11 days and the house will be mine.
