It's official, the people in my town are complete and total idiots! There was no school yesterday which made sense since it was snowing right? Well get this! There was a severe weather advisory posted at 4 am, well some idiot decides about 4:15 that we'll have school today,but start an hour late! Where are they finding these morons? Here's a lil snippet from my weather page..."at 605 am...a mixture of freezing rain and sleet was occurring across much of middle TN...primarily south of Interstate 40. To the east of Interstate 65...Road conditions will begin to worsen after the onset of the precipitation. Motorists should exercise caution as slick spots on many roadways are likely to develop." Everytime they re-update the weather page the forecast is getting worse, somebody tell me WHY in tarnation we are still on a 1 hour late schedule instead of just saying never mind go back to bed? or for folks like me who have been up all night to just "go" to bed lol I'm guessing they don't have enough sense to know there will be lots of ticked off parents if they decide to change their minds after the kids get to school. I swear I really am about sick of the people in this town!
Ok I've ranted enough lol, I'm really in a pretty good mood to have been up since 6am yesterday, with maybe a 2 hour nap max around 3 yesterday afternoon. Not much has been going on here other than putting Angela's clothes back on her every 2 minutes lol. I've worked on some custom adoptions and been trying to get some pages ready to upload for my adopt shoppe, but I'm slow and just haven't been real motivated.
Oh.. 'Taye says so far the teacher hasn't fussed about her pronunciations, poor ol' Greg is really hoping she doesn't 'cause he knows that if I have a talk with her about this I will lay the accent on twice as thick as it is (it's pretty bad anyway lol) he has already volunteered to stay home and watch the other kids for this lol, course ya'll know if she ever reschedules this parent conference I'll have to practice my "hick-speak" before I get there lol I think I may have lost some of ya'll when I complained about her not calling us DeVoe, I had 'Taye before we were married so I gave her my maiden name and tho we have thought about changing it I doubt that I ever would change it, since she got her first name, Girtharee, from my grandma I kinda think it just fits ;) not to mention that DeVoe doesn't really go with her whole name lol
I'm off to watch tv for a bit before time to get the girls up, I will try to make my rounds tonight, I tried late last night but I got sick so please forgive me. Have a great day ladies!

Hi Aretha. Happy Thursday. Your school idiots must have conferred with the school idiots here who start off with each snow or ice day with the annoucements of 1 hour delay or 2 hour delay and then go crazy trying to get in touch with all the parents saying they decided to close instead. The last ice storm a young mother who wasn't informed that school had closed, had her two children in the car and was in a roll-over accident when the car skidded on the ice. Talk about idiots!! Have a peaceful day my friend. ~Hugs~

Hi Aretha, sounds like you've had quite an exciting week. People are always telling me that I, "Sound like I'm from NY." Well, I only spent 22 of my 25 years there...hello? LOL! I hope 'Taye's teacher and the school district both straighten out. Take care! :)

So ya got a lil' nudie running around, huh? *hee hee*

They didn't have school here Monday, but they did yesterday and today. It's supposed to snow more tonight, so I figure they'll be out tomorrow. I think we're almost to having to go on Saturdays to make up for lost time!

I have family in TN and they said that the roads are terrible...

I agree with you! We have some morons in charge here and I was really surprised that they actually cancelled school today in our hometown. The city right next to us is going to school though...hmmm!

Anyhoo...I've rambled enough! Have a wonderful day! :)

Hey Aretha, what part of TN are you from? My parents (and me originally) are from Lawrenceburg. They would close schools on us if the wind blew too hard, LOL! At least it seemed that way! It sure can be frustrating.
