Spring Break

This has been the most wonderful weather for a teacher's Spring break in a long time! It has been in the 70's and 80's every day this week and only rained on one day, in which it didn't last long. I got alot of deep cleaning done to the house, weeded my flower beds, worked out with my neighborhood friends EVERY day and cleaned and organized my closets. I feel so accomplished!

Other things we did that may require another post include:

-fished with the boys
-dentist appt complete for me and Hou
-Houston got to play with friends
-rode horses
-Stayed, cared and visited with dad
-swam (yes I said swam) Houston is my fish
-went out to eat with a friend and then dancing at ELECTRIC COWBOY one night
-Watched a movie at my neighbors private movie theater (stadium/stage/popcorn machine/wall screen and all)
-traveled with the in-laws to Columbia TN to the annual Mule Day Parade
-shopped and much more

I love my new garden flag

UGH, now it is almost 10 pm and Houston has been asleep for almost 2 hours. It looks like I am headed that way too. It sure is going to be hard getting up for work in the morning. (Even though, I never slept past 630 am) I know I will have a hard time getting up in the morning

Anyone do anything exciting over theor Spring Break?

Update on Dad's Leg

I think the last thing I shared with you about my dad was his accident. He went in for a Dr appt last Thursday and got some bad news. The doctor got a pair of pliers and pulled the pins out of his heal. When he did that, it started bleeding badly and the Dr noted that it was not healing correctly. He said he would be down for a year and would need to come back in another week for a checkup. I know he was so frustrated to have to hear that and then to hear that he has to come back in another week. He is getting so bored being in the house and unable to move around on his own.

Fast forward to this week. He went to his Dr appt on Wednesday and was told once again, that his foot was not healed well enough. The dr said it was swollen too much to perform the surgery, because the elasticity of his skin would not pull back after surgery.

He now has to wait 2 more weeks until his next appt in hopes that his swelling will be down.
Tim, my Grandmother and mom have been to both Dr appt's with him and have been so supportive. Please pray that the swelling goes down so the dr will be able to make a decision about the surgeries in the future. He has 3 options, one is rebuild the foot with rods and pins, the other is putting a metal plate in his foot and the last one is amputation from the knee down.

He has started getting out of the house a few times this week to keep him busy and just "get out" to see friends and go to church, but I think that may be what is making it swell. I usually stay with him all day on Saturdays, but tomorrow we plan to get out and go somewhere for a little bit, then head back home. I am just praying the swelling stays down and he gets well so the dr's can get started.

Grizzlies NBA Game

Friday after work I went out with some friends from work for drinks at a Mexican restaurant. The I headed to my bestie's house to head downtown Memphis to a Memphis Grizzlies Game. We had her teenage daughter and friend that went with us too. It was so much fun, we laughed so hard, we cried! The game was so intense, but we ended up losing. We were pretty much tied the entire game, then the Raptors got ahead by 3 points and the very last second of the game Mayo scored a 3 pointer and tied them up taking us into overtime. It was so exciting! After the game we headed to Beale to see what was going on. Needless to say, it was alot of drunks and prostitutes walking around. We went to a couple shops and bought a few things, then after an hour, we headed back home.

We had seats on the Club Level

When we left the game, we saw this parked out in front of the Forum (a Dodge Charger Limo)
Here we are after Gayla bought our Boas and we got to meet Tater Red

Yes, we walked on Beale St in these and had a ball. Yes, we had people looking at us, and even trying to hit on us. And yes, I did the Wobble with a group of people I didn't know :).

Grizzlies in action

They wore these awful yellow and green uniforms for their home game. Yuck! Where is the blue and white?

It is so exciting having a hometown NBA team. You would not believe how packed it was. Crazy, but I know it helps our town bring in the dough!

Randomness

I was going through my pictures on my computer and discovered I have a few pictures of randomness I have not loaded from the past few months.

Here is a picture of a few friends at a Superbowl party we had at a friend's house last month.

We have also been riding horses and trail riding with friends

Dancing, of course!

Eating at a Field Trials Dinner with friends. This was the weekend Dr. Harris got his new truck. He was so proud!

Sitting and enjoying our fire pit on late nights

Playing Davey Crockett.

One day we spent the entire day with Tim at the cow pasture. We climbed trees, jumped hay bales and walked for hours hopping over cow patties. It was so much fun! Reminded me of my childhood memories at the cow pasture with my daddy when I was little.

This was a dancing night and Houston won the $5 door prize for kids.

More Davey Crockett

again

That's enough for now!
