    Hey

    You will get to see my youngest one...and my teenager if that is the only way we can get the Princess to come see/talk to you. Do you mind if we take pictures with our own camera?
  2. The Hiram- Lambert game is up for the 11 Alive Game of the week. Go to http://www.highschoolsports.net/local/Atlanta/article/Game-of-the-Week-1/ to vote.
  3. Thanks. He actually stopped by there today and spoke to them...came home and put in an application on line. He also stopped by Game Stop and Michaels. The boy wants to work now that marching season is pretty much over....he has a vehicle...needs insurance money and gas money
  4. In regards to cutting the arts...research shows that students that are in the Arts have better grades. This is proven true by the fact 3 of the top 4 of Hiram's graduating class this past Spring were either in Band or Chorus or both. As for adding a few more kids to each classroom...Please come do my job for a few days. The behavior in classrooms is the worst I have Ever seen it in 16 years in education. I am seeing kids fall through the cracks every day because we, teachers, don't have the time to give them the help and attention. We are truly doing the best we can. I have also seen paren
  5. Prayers being said for the family. This is sooo sad.
  6. Does anyone find it ironic that they are building the new one behind QT at the same time they are updating the one in Hiram? I'm hoping it will mean a job for my teenager
  7. I know that Hiram beat Villa Rica 39--14 and South lost to Pope. How did the other county teams do? Who will play who and where in the play offs next week? I know Hiram's game will be away...just don't know where.
  8. Please tell him Thank you from my family. This says a TON about his raising. You did well.
  9. My prayers are with the family. This is sooooooo sad.
  10. That is what I'm talking about when it comes to a light at the end of our Looooonnngggg tunnel. We will be done with daycare and have our manufactured home paid for within 2 months of each other...that will add $700-$800 a month into the caddy to get ready for our boy to go into his Sr. year in high school. At least is will be there. In response to people buying homes....We lost our home 7 years ago and the thought of buying another terrifys me to death. But I also know that it makes more since to invest money in a house ( the realestate market will rebound one day and I'm not planning on
  11. We used a heated mattress pad as well. It seems to heat up faster than the electric blanket. The only down fall I see to the mattress pad is washing it. I read the washing directions on mine last night and it seems to be a real pain.
  12. Things are okay for us. We have made some decisions recently that have us living rather tight for the next 7 months or so. But for the first time in our 11 year marriage, we are actually able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
  13. I compleltely agree. They played a good game against Hiram last night but unfortunately, their penalities literally killed them. They had 2 TDs called back because of penalities and Hiram was able to hold them back and keep them from getting them back. Pope is creative with their plays..on one of them the players didn't pay attention to where they were in regards to the line of scrimage. I will say that Hiram had a lot less penalities last night than they did in the beginning of the year.. I think the loss to East kicked Hiram in the butt. That was a game we didn't want to loose and
  14. Thank you. These should be some good match ups. I didnt' see PCHS or NPHS though.
  15. Seeing any Paulding County Band trying to pull off a Show Band show would be intersting. Our bands are all GREAT at the kind of marching and performing that they do. I just can't see them pulling off a Show Band show. I have to admit that I Really liked it 3 yrs ago when the Band of Gold did their Chicago show/tunes. It was nice hearing tunes that I actually know. I have to admit that it would be nice to hear some new tunes added to the stand tunes. My own tuba playing son is playing the same stand tunes that I played at McEachern 20 years go.
  16. In regards to High School Football Region Play Ins Who plays who next week and what are their records? I have read on facebook that Hiram plays Villa Rica but I have no idea of Villa Rica's record. Other teams in the county?
  17. Osborne's band is a Show Band. This is very different from what most of us are used to seeing. My understanding is that this is a very common style with mostly black/ African American bands. I completely agree that Osborne's band is AMAZING!!!!! Thanks for adding the video.
  18. Zoo, would you mind teaching me as well? I have watched the videos and I just don't get them. I am the type of person that needs someone right there with me to tell me how to do the next step. I have the basic chain step down good...except knowing how tight to pull it. I will be more than happy to donate anything I can. PM me when you are available.
  19. Congrats!!!!!! Sounds like you could use a Pcom baby shower . Boys are GREAT!!!! They love their mommas like Crazy. My baby boy will be 17 the Tues before Thanksgiving and he is still just that...my Baby Boy. I love all 3 of my kids but there is just something special between a boy and his momma.
  20. Darn, I was hoping they would offer some reasonably priced Massages. Their prices are not bad for what they offer though.
  21. I agree. I have a friend's child in one of my classes now and I honestly don't enjoy it. It is nice to have friends in the building to watch over your child, but being their teacher is a very different story. My daughter will also be going in to K next year and at this point, I'm simply trying to decide what school I want her to attend. Being a teacher actually makes this decision harder than what you think. I had a good experience with the school we are districted for (when my 17 year old went through there) but at the same time, there are 2 really good feeder schools that
  22. My husband went and looked at the paperwork on the pole....it is a Taco Bell going in . I'm hoping between that and the Walgreens...my almost 17 will be employeed in the Very near future .
  23. Thank you. Our kids were really bummed that they didn't place better. They Truly wanted to send Dr. Davis out with another Grand Champion or at the very least 1st in their class....2nd just isn't good enough for them in their eyes. Next Sat. we host the GIBC...in case you are in the need to sit out in the cold and watch more band compete . We have 16 bands committed to be there.
  24. Congrats from the Hiram Band of Gold!!!!!!! We were up there cheering for you when they announced that you all had won in your class. You Definitely deserve it.
