Miscellany Monday and Weekend Recap

Once again it is time to link up with Carissa for

MISCELLANY MONDAY... 

I know it is Tuesday, but I am just getting around to getting my thoughts together about the weekend and yesterday.....please bear with me....thanx!

Nothing could be sweeter than handing Hartsville their second loss to the Bulldogs!  Marlboro led the entire match-up and crushed the Red Foxes with a final of 4 - 1.  The Hartsville parents and fans were so sure that their girls were thirsty for revenge and they had this game....but they were disappointed...
GO LADY DAWGS!!

Saturday morning started very early!  We got up at 5 AM to go to Columbia for the state FFA tractor driving competition.  Charles, along with four others, drove for the Marlboro team.  Charles had a slip-up and didn't follow the correct course and he was disqualified.  I guess he was too excited or nervous....but that's OK.  We had fun!

After the competition, we drove over to Columbia College to see Deanna play softball.  The stormy weather cleared up long enough for the Koalas to play, but sadly, we didn't get to see Dee play.  The coach didn't put her in until the last inning of the second game.


Sunday was a relaxing day.  We went to Sunday school and church, had lunch, and then napped all afternoon.  The girls had sb practice and Charles worked at the CCC, but Chuck and I obviously needed rest....

Monday was a regular school day for all five of us.  There were a lot of teachers absent from school so Mrs. Suggs had to cover a class and I was alone in our class.  I sure miss her when she's not in class.  After school, Chuck, Josh, and I left for Camden.  The varsity girls played against the Camden Bulldogs and were victorious with a final of 21 to 0....it wasn't even a game! 

Today is beautiful!  The weather is warm and sunny and promises to be a perfect spring day.  Charles has his last home golf match this afternoon in Clio.  Hopefully I'll be able to make at least part of it after the SIC meeting here at MCHS.

I'm sure that my ramblings are not typical of other bloggers Miscellany Monday posts, but my life is consumed with my husband, children, church, and school.  I just write about what I live, what I know, and what I love.

Happy Monday and Tuesday Y'all!!

Saturday 9: Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

1. What is the most “down and out” that you've ever been?  The most "down and out" I've ever been was when I transferred to Bennettsville Elem. School to teach regular 5th grade.  I refer to that time as my "34 unfortunate days."


2. Do you believe there is only one "right" religion?  I am a Christian, and I believe that God sent his Son to die on the cross to save me from my sins and transgressions. I'm sure that not everyone in the world believes as I do, but the way I believe is "right" for me. 


3. If you could get back in touch with one person you've lost touch with, who would it be and why?  I'd like to get back in touch with a guy named John that I knew in college.  He was an alcoholic and I'd like to see if he got his life straight.


4. Has anyone ever held the key to your heart, but did not know it?  Nope, not that I can remember....


5. If your lover cheated on you and profusely apologized, might you accept them back into your life?  I might, but it would be on a very guarded basis....


6. Have you ever gone to work/school drunk or stoned? If yes, do tell.  No! 


7. Who is your favorite relative?  My favorite relative was my mama, but after that, I loved my Aunt Anne, my Uncle DeWitt. and my Aunt Mary best.


8. What annoys you most?  People who ignore need....they only are concerned with themselves...


9. Tell us of one thing you used to do that you are not proud of.  I used to smoke cigarettes....my body is paying the price of all of those years of abuse and poison now...

Boost My Blog Friday

Hey y'all!Happy Friday!Since today is Friday, it's time again to catch up with Boost My Blog Friday over at Design It Chic!   Go link up!!

Show Us Your Life - What's on your reading list?

I, too, love to read, and just finished reading The Help...

It was such a great book and I became so involved with the characters that I actually missed them when I didn't have a chance to sit down to read.

Currently, I'm feverishly reading Water for Elephants...

The movie comes out on April 22 (I think) and I've set a deadline for myself to finish the book before the films plays at a nearby theater.

My next novel is going to be Georgia Bottoms.  The cover caught my eye so I picked it up at Books-A-Million when Chuck and I were in Florence last weekend.  Can't wait to start it!!

Go link up with Kelly and let everyone know what's on your reading list....
