I can't believe I haven't posted anything in nearly a week! I've been really busy & a LOT has happened, but I'm not ready to share all of that as of now. Lulu & I are both feeling much better & are back to school & work as usual.

My Tay was nominated to be the FRESHMAN HOMECOMING REPRESENTATIVE this year! Go Tay!! She's kinda shy about things like that & not your usual girl as far as this is concerned. She says she didn't want it & is embarrassed. I told her it's a great thing that the 9th grade class voted for her! I'm proud. Homecoming will be Friday the 19th for Tay. She is already looking for her a formal dress to wear on the field during the ceremony. She has an appointment to get her hair done that afternoon. I can't wait to see her all dolled up! I'm taking my camera so I'll have plenty of pics!

Then Saturday is Lulu's homecoming. She was crowned queen last year so she can't be in the running this time. She will be the one on the field that will crown the new queen. She's looking forward to that - & the homecoming dance after the game. I'll be sure to have my camera for these festivities too.

My mother & Snowball were with me for the weekend. Lulu had her game Saturday & mother didn't want to go, so I had my sis come sit with her while I was gone. Yes, we WON 18-7! After we got home & she bathed & changed, her step-mom came to pick her up. The rest of the weekend was actually quiet. I did have to stay on mother over & over about doing things. She kept forgetting as soon as I told her something. If you remember, she has dementia. It was worse this weekend that it has been. I dunno... I managed to get quite a bit done around the house despite all that, & had a little time to relax myself on Sunday afternoon. It's was nice.

Hope you all doing well!

I feel like I've been gone from here for more that two days! It's amazing what you can miss with such little time away.

I put the kiddos on the bus yesterday morning & went in to start getting myself ready for work. Tay calls & informed me that Lulu threw up on the bus & that they were turning around to drop her back off at home. Poor Lulu...

I had to call in to work (boss not happy, but it's ok) & stay with her. My poor little angel-face was so sick! She didn't move off of the couch by me all day. She started running a low grade fever about lunch time, but I let it fight off her virus. About dinner time, it went up to 100.1. I decided to go ahead & give her Tylenol. I was worried about her keeping it down since she'd just thrown up for the 5th time, but she did good. She even ate some homemade chicken pot pie I threw together. She was so hungry by that time. All she'd had all day was sipping on Sprite. Luckily, she held it down.

She slept with me so I could keep an eye on her & would feel her for a fever ever so often.

This morning she woke up feeling much better & a bit perky! That was good too. I hate seeing my children sick. So, I got to come to work today. My desk was loaded down with stuff from yesterday that no one did, the email hadn't been touched & was backed up too. Needless to say, I've been busy all day. I'll be glad when it's time to go home in 1 1/2 hours.

I woke up at 1:45 sneezing, clogged up, running nose & eyes watering. Miserable, I tells ya! I was up blowing my nose about half a dozen times & couldn't go back to sleep. When my alarm went off this morning, I wasn't happy to hear it. I could've slept in easily. I've been clogged/running, sneezing, etc all day too. I even took a Benadryl a few hours ago, but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

Thank goodness we don't have cheer practice or anything going on tonight. I wanna go to bed & sleep!

Friday night, we went to the Varsity football game where Lulu got to cheer with "the big girls" for the 1st quarter. She was SO happy doing this! She wanted them to "lift" her, but they didn't have the opportunity. She has the best time! We stayed through half-time, but left shortly thereafter. The high school lost their first game of the season...

Saturday, we had our C-team game. We also went in to the game with a 3-0 record. We were undefeated...until this game. They beat us 6 - 0. It was tough tho. If we'd have had 1 more minute, I believe we would've tied the game. We were right on the goal line when the clock ran out. Those little boys were trying their hardest to make their touchdown. The did NOT want to mess of their perfect record. The team we played has always been very good, so I'm sure they were told it wouldn't be easy.

Our B-Team, & then the A-Team also lost their games & spoiled their 3-0 records.

I guess it was just an off weekend cuz Alabama (Roll Tide!) lost their game Saturday too.

The rest of the weekend consisted of doing laundry & housework. There wasn't much time for anything else.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

I already posted that Lulu is the class Star Student of the Week. Well, I DID get to go have lunch with her today!! The boss man let me go. I let her teacher know, but told her I wanted to surprise Lulu. I kept watching for them to walk down the hall toward the lunchroom. When they almost reached the door, I came out from behind the wall & surprised her. Her face showed a BIG surprise & then lit up as she called out Mommy & ran towards me. I was so happy to. The frozen pepperoni pizza square was nasty , but they did have good ranch dressing to go on the lettuce! I also got lots of hugs & waves from other little girls & boys there at the school. It was really sweet today. I'm so glad I got to share this with my little angelface.

And...

Today is Randy420's (Life/Hollow) BIG 4-0! Go by Randy's blog> & wish him a big happy birthday! You can also rag him about being "an OLD man" now too. After all, he IS 40 now.

Happy Birthday Randy baby!!

Lulu gets to cheer with the varsity cheerleaders tomorrow night at the high school game! She's SO excited!! When I asked her about it, her little angel face lit up like a Christmas tree. Her coach called me last night & asked if she would be interested in participating. Um, the girl eats, sleeps, & breathes cheer. She's cheering from the moment she wakes up until she drifts off to sleep. If not that, then she's singing & dancing. It's quite the sight to see. So, tomorrow night I'll be sitting in the stands watching her do what she loves to do.

Anyway, just sharing something happy. Hope you have a great day!
