about jabrn

I am a Registered Nurse, wife, mother of one beautiful daughter (6 years old going on 17, a good friend stated when I had my daughter that the hours and the days drag on, but the months and the years fly by - how true!) three dogs (all beautiful mutts) and an old cat.

My husband and I have the complete role reversal. I work and he is a stay at home dad! He definitely runs the day to day of the house better than I ever dreamed... My life is full and hectic like everyone else's. I enjoy reading, baking and spending time with my family. I am a native of Williamsburg, Va. My husband is a Tarheel (class of 94) born and bred and he has fully converted me to a Tarheel fan (at least in basketball)! I do enjoy watching most sports although NFL (really any football) is what I like the most. I am a Chicago Bears and Michigan Wolverine fan (midwestern parents).

I would say that I was a pretty liberal person, except now that I have had the displeasure of working with an entitlement program, some of my liberal leanings have changed direction.

Above all I consider myself very open-minded. I just really want to know, why can't everyone have just a little more common sense?

“Common sense is not so common.”- Francois Voltaire

“I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” - Rita Rudner

“Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” - Roger Lewin

“Children need models more than they need critics.” - Joseph Joubert

“We'd all vote for the best man, but he's never a candidate.” - Will Rogers

“The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.” - Andy Rooney

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” & “Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won’t buy the wag of his tail.” -Josh Billings

Morning Jabrn! - By all means, post your blog! Your flag is set so you can - I like good lyrics too...poetry set to music.

Years later "Imagine" by John Lennon took on new meaning for me. I had never 'really' listened to it before.

My daughter's class size is pretty good. There were 20 last year and only one add at the end of the year. I thought they added new students to emptier tracks. Isnt' that how it works? I need to get someone to answer some questions for us. -Angela

Jus wanted to say... thank you !

Now that's funny about the vaccuum cleaner names!! I used to have a dog named Moose, and he was my Hoover. He loved to see my best friend come over to the house with her 3 year old son, because he knew the boy would spill everything we fed him!

Thank you! I am sure gonna try and get out there - we are restoring an old farmhouse and will need to furnish it so yard sales will be my best friend :-)

Hey girl did you see gh international this week? Man that was some crazy stuff. I was half asleep at the end and they were showing the outcome and my husband kept pointing the picture out that look like a ghost and I told him i did not want to see it because it look scarey. lol Of course I dreamed about it when I went to sleep. lol Have a good weekend!

Where did you get that picture of the basset? It looks exactly like my baby Gracie.

Thanks for the info on the basset pic. Do you ever think about getting another one?

I have a basset and a lab now. I bet the mix would be cute pups. Their personalities are so different, I can't imagine what that kind of blend would turn out. Both females, so I am safe to never know.

Yeah had a pretty good one just not long enough. I agree about the original they have no one basicly left. Funny thing is Dustin left because his wife/gf had a baby and he was not avaliable to go anywhere do to having to be with his family, yet hes now international. They must pay better there lol. The picture looked fake but all the same it was scarey to me lol. I hope that you have a good day.

The wedding was a drunk fest of course. All sorts of new stuff at New Towne . . .

Sunday went out to go boating on the James and the motor didn't start! RATS!!!

Rt 5 getting a new bridge, HOLY SHEET, a huge bridge . . .

That reminds me, I have to get a hotel room. Denbigh having 30 year reunion . . .

30 years . . .

It's Teriffic Tuesday! I hope you have a teriffic one.

its a really nice 05 Honda Accord with-get this- ONLY 9,500 miles!!! It's dark green with tan cloth interior-very nice-it's the perfect car (IMO)-I would be driving it today if I could afford the payments...drives and shifts really smooth-very clean-taken EXCELLENT care of...It's @ Carolina Motorcars in Youngsville (right before you get to Sheetz)-Ask for Lou (Luis) www.carolinamotorcars.com you can go there and see a pic of it.

At least if I can get it, I know it will be in good hands! lol Tell Lou Stacey sent you. I think that will make him happy. they are really nice there.

oops *cant* get it

the nc cake was for 4th grade social studies. Started with a sheet cake, outlined the shape of the state, then used cupcakes for the mtns, cut down cupcakes for the foothills. Tiny pretzel sticks with icing to look like pine trees, blue icing for the river that runs thru our county, darker blue and white icing to make the waves of the ocean with a light brown sugar beach. My son did pretty much all of it by himself-I showed him how to make the trees, then we used his for the actual project. He got so sick of washing his hands, but I stressed the sanitation aspect so much that he is now a really clean cook. We had to do an animal project once and we did pig cookies with the different icings to demonstrate the different breeds. That was a good grade as well. Your cake looks wonderful, and I know it will be a great party! If you have never been to familyfun.com it is a wonderful site for anything to do with kids. I use their projects for classroom inspiration a lot.

who's DH?

THANKS!

YEA! Congrats on your new job too!

Hey, if you have a chance, check out the golo blogs now, the one titled Hey. It's a great pic of a Bassett

Good morning Hope you have a great thursday, just one more day to the weekend! Yeaaaaaaa lol Oh by the way I went thru gh with drawel last night.lol I was so excited my husband and I was even sitting there in time for it to come on and than I remembered duh its reruns.lol So I went to bed lol.

Yeah we recorded it to but its not the same so I told him that I would watch it later and I went to sleep!

wishing you a safe trip! :-)

Just making the rounds in my groups - I will be away for a bit. My new job has me training in Kentucky for a month, so I will try to check in every so often, but not as much as usual. Everyone take care!

Hey jabrn... come back as often as you have time for! We can't afford to lose to many "reasonable" folks, or the loonies will take over! *grin* Good luck in Kentucky!
