You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit

That's a saying I learned from my friend Trisha. It normally applies to kids who want bologna instead of PB&J or strawberry ice cream instead of chocolate. But tonight it applies to friends who want witty and insightful blog posts and are instead getting this one.

I know, I know. I've been seriously negligent. It's really a shame too because I've had really great blog material over the last five days. I'm just too stinkin tired to post it. So prepare yourself for a bland and mediocre update cause here it comes.

This past weekend my college roomie Tammy and her family paid us a visit. I have stories to tell and pictures to post but that will have to wait until the weekend when I can give it my full attention. For now, I'll leave you with this teaser.

Greek Grits meets Big Nanny:

Monday I officially started my job at Little Ocho's school and today I taught my very first computer classes. I feel pretty good about it and even had a few students come up and thank me for being their teacher this year. I have truly felt your prayers and would ask you keep them coming.

In all the busyness of the weekend and excitement over my new job, it's been almost overlooked that my sweet girl started 2nd grade. She's has the sweetest teacher (again) and is enjoying her class of 14 girls and 0 boys. Her teacher even hung princess curtains in the room. I'm predicting more than a few cat-fights before it's all over but for now they are getting along surprisingly well.

Here's the ceremonial shot:

So there you have it. I'm sorry I'm not more eloquent or witty or insightful. I just don't have it in me.
