I have really mixed emotions tonight. Eric may have to go back to work this week. I know he needs to work, He needs the cash. But I want to see him soon. If he goes back to work I am not sure how long it will be before I see him again. However work is more important. Seeing him isn't as important. I know I will see him again though, just not as soon as I like. I also know that Eric will not always be working this job that keeps him away from home so much. One day he will be working a job that will allow him to be home every night.
I will be starting banking classes again this week. It is a class on ethical issues for bankers. This time we only have class 2 nights. Our first class is Tuesday night with the second class on Monday of next week. Jeremiah will be with his dad those evenings. I will be out late, probably getting home around 8:30 or 9.
Cassie has an appointment in Clarksburg this week. She is to see a dental surgeon to see about getting her wisdom teeth surgically removed. That will be Wednesday afternoon. After that the week should be somewhat quiet. So lets head into the week and see what it holds. I just know I can't wait to hold Eric in my arms again....

not sure if i even know how to use this thing anymore
wow, it has been well over a year since I last posted anything. I don't think I know how to post videos or anything anymore. All is well in my life. I am now working at the Bank. I have been there since February 11th. My kids are growing up. I'm growing older lol. I guess that is how life works. The hubby took us to see a movie today and we went to dinner over at the steak house at weston. I love eating there and my best friend works there too. I guess that is all I have for today. I hope I'm not away so long the next time.

Endo and other stuff.....
Took Cass to the Endo yesterday. He was so very proud of her. I am so proud of her. He is very pleased with her numbers. He also checked her feet for neuropathy. she has been complaining of foot pain and swelling in the evenings. Dr. Jones says that Cass is only five years out from diagnosis, so it is unlikely that she has neuropathy. not to mention she has good control over her numbers.
Inside info I knew nothing about. The doc's wife is a Buckhannon native! How cool is that! And his SIL is in the board system, so that is real neat. I guess she works at the high school. Cass knows her!
We also went shopping and out to lunch yesterday. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond first. I LOVE that store. We walked around in there for a long while. I did not find anything to buy though! Well, I found some stuff, I could buy it all! We also went to TJ Maxx. That store ROCKS! They have nice stuff at great prices! I thought the worst when I walked in there, but really, Was surprised. We got hungry and decided to go to lunch. Cass took me to the Olive Garden. That was my mothers day gift, since she won't be home to take get me anything this weekend. That was wonderful!. I had Manicotti! mmmm mmmm. Was that good! After we ate we went back up to do some more shopping. We had such a good time. I enjoyed that so much. We went to Sally Beauty Supply and they had cool sunglasses in there that were real cheap. We got a matching pair, but hers are black and mine are brown. We then went down to Target. Cass found a couple of swim suits, and to beat all, she got them off the clearance rack! Thought I was gonna fall over! I wanted a nice outfit for Mother's Day, so we went on the hunt for an outfit. I found this real cute navy blue skirt with a button up white sweater. I got a navy tank to go underneath the sweater. And I got the most adorable pumps! AHH! I will have the Dear Hubby take pics and will post them later on.
We got home from our long day of Endo and shopping and had to go to Norton to get some stuff Cass left at a friends house. I was dreading that trip, and really didn't want to go. Well, by the time I got home I felt so good! I got to see a rainbow in a cloud on the way over and it was so pretty! It looked like it was blue on purple on blue, not your normal rainbow and it was only in the clouds. When we got to Mammies I got to set down and talk to Mammie for a while. she is such a doll! I loved it. I can't wait to go back. We came home and there was another rainbow in the clouds. I got pics of this one. I will post them later. If they turned out, I haven't even uploaded them from the cam yet. Well, Yet another day in the life of myself and the family.
Today I need to run to the bank and cash a check for Cass so she will have money for Acquire the Fire this weekend. I need to run her pee sample up to the lab this morning. Yeah Doc jones wants to check her urine for... uh... got to get the papers. Ahh good they were still in my purse. He wants to check for microalbumin. I need to research that one. Then I gotta go to work. I work two more weeks and I am done! for the summer anyway. Am getting so ready for a break! Getting ready nothing, I AM Ready!

School Shooting Hoax
Man, what a day. I go get my hair cut. I get home and all hell has broken loose. My mom has tried to call, and just about everyone else. I tried to call my mom back. BUSY. I walk through the living room and here it over the police scanner. "one teacher shot at the high school" OMG!!!!!! Every cop in the county is headed to the high school including fire and EMS. I try to call my husband who is working on the roof of a house up the road. He doesn't answer his cell. I try calling my neighbor who also has kids at the high school. I can't get hold of anybody! I pray! I panic! I pray! I panic! What do I do? Do I go to the school or do I stay home? Mom calls me back and I get a very sturn "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" She tells me there is a possible shooting at the highschool. A student called it in from a payphone inside the school. They believe it is a hoax, but the school is on lockdown. I call Cassie's cell. She answers and she sounds fine. I ask, how are you?......
Cassie: I am fine
ME: Are you sure?
Cassie: yeah
Me: did you hear anything?
Cassie: no
Me: no gun shots or anything?
Cassie: no, Nanny called me and told me what was happening.
Cassie: We are locked in the classroom, The door is locked and the window is covered.
Me: I love you
Cassie: I love you too......
Me: Call me if anything happens. I am gonna make some calls, I will call you back.....
Cassie: ok
Me: I love you
Cassie: I love you too
I am on the phone with so many people. Cassies friends moms are calling me. They know I have a scanner. Darrells bosses are calling, they need him to get to the bus garage, there is talk of evacuating the school. I can't reach him and noone else can either. I hear that this is possibly a hoax. As the minutes go by and the more I hear on the scanner. I am sure it is a hoax. I know that the officers need to do their job. I know that I cannot get to the school to get her. I know that she is ok. I am faced with the decision to leave the house to get my husband to the bus garage or stay at the house and hope he answers his Cell. After three tries to his cell and the boss calling again. I decide to leave the house to go get him. I call my mom and ask her to call my cell if she hears anything. I get to the house up the road and pull up. Darrell says, "what is up with all the sirens?" I tell him and his other boss, who also drives bus, There is a possible shooting at the high school, you guys need to be in your buses waiting incase they decide to evacuate. they both nearly fell off the roof. I go back home. Again this decision is based on the fact, the school is not ready to handle parents coming to the school and the scene has yet to be cleared. I call Cassie........
Cassie: hello?
Me: Hi baby
Cassie: hi mommy, what is happening?
Me: they are having the bus drivers go to the bus garage in case they evacuate
Cassie: ok
Me: are you ok?
Cassie: I am fine mommy
Me: how is your blood sugar? (why I didn't ask earlier? who knows?)
Cassie: I guess it is ok
Me: is there food in that classroom?
Cassie: yeah, My teacher has food
Me: ask her to give it to you if you need it.
Cassie: ok will do.
Me: I love you
Cassie: I love you too
Me: I am gonna go again I will call you if I hear anything else
Cassie: ok, I will call you if i hear anything
Me: ok, I love you bye....
Letting her off the phone was hard, yet I knew I could not keep her on the phone all the time. I was also keeping other parents and family members up to par on what was happening. Not to mention listening to the police talk about what they were doing in the school. I hear that they may have suspects in the ceiling on the second floor. IN THE CEILING! mom calls and asks where is cassie in the school? gosh I never thought to ask! You really don't think clear in these situations. I call her back.......
Cassie: Hello?
Me: where are you?
Cassie: um... Mrs. Travises room.
Me: I knew that much, what floor are you on?
Cassie: the second floor.
Me: ok, there are students in the ceiling above the second floor.
Cassie: ok, I don't hear anything.
Me: Just wanted to call and let you know. I have to go. I need to call the other parents
Cassie: ok I love you.
Me: I love you too
This chaos just keeps going on. It is insanity. I have to set here. I know my baby is locked in a class room. I know she has not eaten lunch. I know I am nervous. I know I trust the officials. I leave my baby in their hands. and I set, and I pray, and I call other parents and fill them in as new details become available. Cassie calls me.....
Cassie: they are evacuating us to the stadium
Me: now?
Cassie: soon
Me: what is going on? are you away from the door?
Cassie: we are huddled in the corner, we are on top of each other
Cassie: wait a minute, I just got word the cops stormed into a classroom guns pulled and told everyone to get in the floor
Me: Oh my, what do you know?
Cassie: they are looking for something.
Me: ok, Are you feeling ok? is your sugar good?
Cassie: I am fine
Me: ok, I love you I have to go
Cassie: I love you too.
I get a phone call from a neighbor that they have begun to allow parents on school grounds to get their kids. ID is a requirement. I call mom and tell her, She tells me to take something to school for Cassie to drink, for her blood sugar. she says she is coming to the house, I said are you going with me? She says no she is coming to the house to get miah incase I don't get back in time to get him. I told her good thinking. I hear on the scanner that crowd control is needed. The parents are getting out of hand. I run around the house trying to decide what to wear. why? I need pockets, these pants don't have pockets, it is hot outside. I am not wearing pants. I put on my jean shorts. they have pockets. Dang it I need to shave! who cares? not me! I grab my purse and phone and run out of the house. Dang it I forgot the drink. Oh well. she won't need it. I get in the van And off I go. I stop at the gas station on the way and decide to get sweets. there is quite a ways to walk and I know she will need something to keep her blood sugar up. I get up to the school and it is unreal. there are cars parked everywhere. I have to circle around after asking an officer about how to go about getting my daughter. I have to walk up the driveway and get to the school that way. I park the van and walk the half mile to the school. I get up to the school parking lot and the line is neverending. Parents waiting believe it or not patiently to get their kids. I have to go to the concession stand to sign cassie out and wait for them to call her. My neighbor finds me and lets me get in line with her, she says she knows Cass needs to get out of there and eat so her blood sugar does not plummet. which reminds me, Last time I talked to cass I told her to put food from the classroom in her purse to go to the stadium, and I told her I am on my way. I get her signed out and hear them call her name. she calls me and asks where I am and I tell her I am by the womens restroom. She says ok. Her friend who has been with her the whole time gets signed out after Cass and gets down to her mom before Cass. She went up to get Cassie for me. We walk back to the van and go for food. We are home now. Cass is spending the evening with a friend, at the neighbors. I think she needs to be with friends. It will help her. she really does seem to be ok. I thank God this whole thing was a hoax. I am glad to have both of my kids home and my hubby home with me this evening. A day like this reminds you just how important every moment is. On that note...... I am going to go spend some time with my family.
Cassie: I am fine
ME: Are you sure?
Cassie: yeah
Me: did you hear anything?
Cassie: no
Me: no gun shots or anything?
Cassie: no, Nanny called me and told me what was happening.

Meet Steve
I would like for you all to meet Steve. Yes this cabbage has a name. Jeremiah came home from school with a cabbage and he named it. Why did he name it? I don't know. Leave it to my son to name his cabbage. But I thought it was so cute that I had to share it
with all of you. I have to monitor Steve's progress and weigh him at the end of his growth cycle. We are to care Steve through May 26. The student with the heaviest cabbage gets entered into a contest to win a 1,000.00 Scholarship. A scholarship for what? Plant school? I really don't understand why school administrators are encouraging our children to grow cabbage plants for money. What does this have to do with anything? Oh well. It makes for a good memory. My son named his cabbage plant Steve!
