Oh, I am getting so excited about next Saturday!! I can hardly wait. I am even looking forward to watching the stinky chickens play on Thursday night just to help feed my extreme need to watch college football..... Of course, I'll be even more happy to watch it if they lose. Go Wolfpack!! Anyway- I can almost hear the Tiger Band playing, now.....
This weekend has been nice and quiet so far. Brian has been on call and has been working today and making hospital rounds. The girls have been fairly good and the weather has been almost perfect. I love when Autumn starts making it's debut for the year. The skies are a more vivid blue and the air is a little more crisp. The girls can play outside without their cheeks being flaming red when they come in. And the wonderful breeze outside today makes it even better. Also this weekend, I have had a couple more moms sign up to take some big responsibilities with the volunteer opportunities for the class. I did get a little peeved when one mom sent me an e-mail trying to tell me how I should be doing things, but I got over it. This particular mom was a room mom last year and was offered the job this year and turned it down. So, I figure if she wanted things to be done her way, she should have taken the job. Otherwise, she can tell me what to do until she is blue- it won't do any good. She suggested that I wait a couple weeks before trying to do all the sign-ups and stuff and also told me to try to get one mom to do just part of each job so that no-one gets overwhelmed. Well- I start back to work in about a week and we will be breaking ground for our new house in about 3 weeks or so- so I can't wait any longer to get this stuff done and don't know why I would need to. And if one mom feels compelled to take on an entire job by herself, I am going to let her. If she feels overwhelmed, she can tell me. Most moms are splitting the big things with one other mom, so I don't think I'll have that problem. I told the mom that was suggesting stuff that I appreciated her ideas, but that I was doing what the teacher suggested and that if the positions did not get filled, then I would divide them up and see if that helped. I haven't heard back from her since..... Oh, well. I'm sure it won't be the last time a mom makes a suggestion to me. Everybody has a different opinion on how things should be done. This has just been a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. But, every time someone signs up to help with something I feel a little better. Crazy that being a room coordinator for a first grade class could be such a big deal. You live and learn! Well, off to make sure our hotel reservations are secure for Saturday night and to figure out which one of my many Clemson t-shirts I'll be wearing to the Dome!

We all should at least say hello to each other while your down! We need to see if Chelle's going to be in town! That would be so cool! You all could meet the famous Sam and Alex, that I speak of so much :}
I am going to hop over and see if she is!
So what do you think?
I am brain dead! I am thinking of the home games! Sorry for any confusion! We'll be at home for the bama game! ugh! Sleep! I need more sleep! If I had two brain cells functioning at the same time, I'd be dangerous! ;}
Well, you know that I don't reply much to your blog. But, I had to today. You need to tell those moms to give me a freakin' call about being overwhelmed. I work 40-50 hours a week outside of the home and can still volunteer for various things at the school. How many of these moms work? Give me a freakin' break. Oh, and GO TIGERS!Can't wait until Saturday!!! -M
I'm so excited about Sat. but I must say I feel kinda sick to my stomach too...I always get this way before game time...it's starting much earlier this year. I just want it all!!!! It's TIME to have it all...more glory,fame, flags on the stadium, angry sick cock fans...oh I can just taste it for the first time since what...the 80's...
Go Tigers and Wolfpack...ACC ACC ACC.....
Missy got confused...maybe we can all get together for a minute before one game...that would be neat...
Glad your people are coming through for you....
Sweet Thang, I just love you. See you this week-end!! And Missy- if I make it to a game, we will have to meet up! Chelle, I am ready to see Clemson show the talent they possess, too. Last season did not reflect the actual goldmine of talent this team has, and that they have even more of this year! Woo-hoo!!
Go Tigers!! I left something for you on my blog.
