THe break is over.....:(

Well, it is that time again...... School for me will start on MOnday.... As much as I have enjoyed being off and hanging out with the kids.... I am excited to start, because it gets me closer to meeting my goal.. ( graduation) The kids are all well and adjusting to being back at school themselves. Sean is working very hard ( if that was even possible) to keep our company together because Jerry our business partner and coworker has been diagnosed with cancer.... and he is unable to work right now... so we are holding up the fort... awaiting his return to Evans Plumbing. Madeline ( my eldest daughter) is now working for us in the office, which is wonderful because she can also help out with watching Chaz during the day....I am loving her being back in Mobile...we are really working on our relatinship and growing closer every day. Her roomate and best friend Jessica has now become part of our family, she is so funny and a joy to be around... she seems to always be in a great mood..... I am hoping she will work for us as well when I start the nursing program at bishop..... ( there is nowway I can work and go to nursing school) It is nice to know that I can trust someone to take my place and do a good job.

I am hoping to scrapbook on the 23rd of january with all my sistahs..... it will be kind of sad becuase one of my bff''s is moving to utah. So, this will be her last crop with us (at least in the physical sense) They will be gone for 3 long years.... and then, I am praying she will return.

So Wendi, I know you will probably read this so this part is for you::::

Thinking back to when you came into my life.... I will treasure each moment we have shared. Every Gcs event that we attened, every lunch date, every birthday "party", our scrappin sistah crops... and phone calls just to say hello and catch up from a busy week. thank you for your words of encouragement and for just being there. I will really miss hanging out with you. Your thoughtfulness... your willingness to help and your bright smile .... Now that the moment is almost here, My tears seem to come as soon as I think about it. I can't believe this day is coming in just a few short weeks.. I guess i just blocked it out thinking it would not happen.
WEndi, know that no matter how many miles seperate us,you will always be in my heart. You have really shown me what true friendship is... and what it means to have a family of friends....always there, no matter what. I love you Wendi... and will miss you ... So until we see each other again..... this will be my goodbye.... as I don't think I can say the words in person... So at the crop It will be I will see you soon...

All my love
Kelly



So now for the rest ofyou... I have to stop now... the tears are blocking my view..

it's over.....

Christmas that is.......WHew! what a day it was.... First of all... I was up until 4:30 wrapping gifts.... that is what happens when you don't wrap anything until christmas eve.... I will not make that mistake again next year no matter what!

I got a special gift from my husband a few days befor Christmas.... He flew Cole home from Colorado! I swear that boy grows a foot in between visits...I really missed him alot! This Christmas was the first Christmas in at least 3 years for all of my kids to be together... and this year included in our christmas was Madeline's roomate Jessica... she has become part of our family and fits right in with the rest of my kids..... I am a blessed momma......

All of the kids got what they asked for on their Christmas list... Santa was very good to them. We had a huge Christmas dinner.... I cooked everything myself. We also had lots of vistors from grandparents..... and as they visited and loved on the kids they were able to eat and enjoy themselves without worrying about bringing food or cleaning up... it made things so nice. Also visiting was my twin sister... I really miss her .... I hate that she lives in another state. My sister in law Ashley brought My new niece to see me... (us) for christmas...she is the sweetest thing and I am spoiling her rotton as much as I am allowed...hee hee...

As Christmas day came to a close.... My mom and sister called and asked me, jessica, and cole if we wanted to come over and watch a scaarrrryyy movie! So we trolled down to the back yard and watched a movie until 1 am..... so needless to say I was very sleepy as I had not went to bed from the night before...... when my head hit the pillow .... I didn't move until today....

I am gonna relax this weekend and do only the laundry...... becuase it is back to life.....

unitl next time....

enjoy the rest of your weekend.....

Love all yall!!!

done reading..... and my grades are in!

First .... My grades are in... I got 4 "a's" and 1 B.... THe A's were in : Social Problems, Alabama History, Choir, and English Comp II THe B was of course in Math.... But I am most proud that I Made the DEans List! So I am in dire need of Christmas Shopping.... other wise.... there will be some mad peope out there.


Also

To my complete and utter Sadness... I am done reading the twilight series... I read all 4 books in less than a week... crazy I know.... I just could not help myself... I have laughed, cried, fought, and loved with the Cullens' oh... I do wish i had another book to read.... Tears were streaming down my face when I read the last chapter of Breaking Dawn... The books...albeit non fiction... really touched me somehow... I am hoping to find the time to go and see the movie before the movie theaters stop playing it.... maybe tonight... I don't know... CHristmas Shopping first.

On a different note... Sunday is Brynli's 7th birthday.... time has flown by... I can't believe she is already that old... she is older than Madeline was when Sean and I were married.... I am sure we will be going to dinner and a movie for her birthday...as it has now become a tradition to eat at a resturant of the birthday childs preference and then seeing a movie afterwards....

In case I don't get to blog before christmas... Yall have a merry christams and a prosperous new year! Remember Jesus is the reason for the season... So take a moment to pray and wish a Happy Birthday to our Father in Heaven.....

The embarrasment of it all!!

I read new moon the 2nd book in the twilight series in about 8 hours... Yes I am a junkie!
I cannot wait to see what happens after graduation...

this is crazy.... but, I feel as if I am with Edward myself.... crazy...... I have never ever been so INto a book series before this even beats the amish series of books by beverly lewis.... THis is the best book I have ever read..... I only hope that there is more after the 4th one.... I don't know how I could possibly stop reading....

feeling sad...... and a book...go hand in hand until........

all I could do was read.... and think of nothing else..... and read.!!! a book so compelling .... I couldn't take my hands off of it...

so... I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday because all of my good friends were scrapbooking and I was at home.... with the kids.... Sean was on call and the weeelll... I had no sitter.... I decided to sneak into RAndi's room and "steal" her copy of TW

ILIGHT.. I started reading and page by page it drew me into a life of vampires and immortlacy..( is that a word?) I could not put that book down... I am desperate to get the others..... to find out what happens to Bella while she is lying in a pool of blood with 6 thirsty vampires looking at her....aahhhhh!!!!!


I called WEndi and she is loaning her copies of the series... I cannot wait to get my hands on it....( Thanks Wendi)
For those of you (KIM) who have not read Twilight.... it is a must read...sooo put down those scissors and your atg gun... you will not be dissappointed....It will be all you can do for the next several days... I promise...

I think I am in love with Edward.....

time for finals!

It has been a hectic week for me..... this week is finals week... so I have been studying like crazy. Last Thursday I took my English final... and I am 99 percent sure that I have an "A" in there.... and I took my History final yesterday and made a 100 which makes my grade a 98.87 , So that means I have an "A" in there as well.... In choir... I have an "A" That leaves Social Problems and Math....

I took my Social Problems test today..and I am quite upset... our instructer gave us a study guide with 300 questions on it and told us to study it. So I did and had it memorized. well... On my test only 13 of those questions were on the test and the rest of the questions were not familiar to me.... so I made a "c" which brought my grade down to a "b" for the semester. I was so mad... I don't know why she would give us a study guide if she wasn't going to pull all of hte questions from that guide... So I emailed her and asked her about it...so we will see what happens...

My math final is tomorrow.. I feel confident about it... I just have to watch small stupid mistakes..... and take my time... hopefully I will make an A on it that way I can keep my "A"

Grades will be posted no later than tueseday of next week. I am looking forward to the christmas break..... then in January I will start my 4th semester at Bishop. and hopefully I will get into their Nursing program in the fall.... when that time comes... look out! I won't have time for anything else but studying and an occasional scrapboook break with the girls....

wish me luck.

Here is Miss... Melody Kate....
