So my job became full time. I still love it. I work with awesome ladies. The kids are also amazing. We have so much fun. The parents are also great. I am on a regular schedule and it makes me pretty happy!
My birthday was yesterday. I am officially in my 30's. I do not love not because it is old or that I feel old but I am just not where I thought I would be at this stage in my life. Not in just one particular way just overall. This is not the life I thought I would have.
I have to say that cancer sucks. I hate it. It has claimed the lives of to many of my family members. My Granny Liz was put in hospice this week. The cancer has progressed regardless of the radiation that she had during the summer. I can not put into words how much she means to me. How much I love her. I would do anything to not have to lose her. However, I don't want her to be in pain and to suffer. I just wish I had appreciated the times that she was well more.
Please pray for her and our family.

AST
In 2 weeks it will be AST's founders day. After all these years this still makes me tear up!
What Is A Tau?
A Tau is a mixture of a boisterous little girl, a troubled adolescent, a sophisticated coed, charming young woman and a wise old lady.
She's a streak of gold and a flash of green dancing in the union, tying up the phone, planning a big weekend, cutting a two-hour lab, loafing in the dining hall, and whipping up a last minute party.
She will tease you some, comfort you when things look bad, let you down once in a while, lift you up when it counts the most, and praise you for your finest qualities.
On her desk you'll find a dance program, a sorority hat, Mom's last letter, a football schedule, her boyfriend's picture, and a calendar of social events.
As a sorority girl, she'll exert all her efforts to build a prize-winning float, compose a clever skit, pay this quarter's dues, set the table for tea, decorate for a party, and rush for AST.
She's known as an individualist, a party girl, a procrastinator, an absolute failure, and a huge success!
And when you need a song, she's there to sing it.
If you need a dress, she's there to lend it.
When you need some understanding, she's there to give it.
And when you need a sister, she's right there beside you.
She can be so much, yet so little.
But when she accepts a rose, a shirt, a pin and a hat, she's an angel, a princess, my sister!

New things!
Last Friday I started a new job! It is only part time but I love it! Hopefully, at some point it will be full time we will see. I am working at the Cheatham Middle School daycare. I just feel better knowing that I have something to do each day! I am also sleeping better!! A big bonus is I get to see my favorite 2 year old and favorite infant every single day!!
So for everyone that thought I would fall apart when Kendall left
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BBBllllllrrrrrrrrttttt:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I told you I would be fine! I told you I could make it!
Speaking of Kendall, (what how long did you expect me not to talk about her) she is enjoying college. She likes her roommate! SHOCKED I know!!! She is not a people person! She is making friends. She has survived doing laundry a few times. I am proud of her! I miss her! I can not wait to see her! I am so happy that she is having a good time and that she LOVES college!!!
It is not even close to the election and I am tired of the daily political rants, excuses and accusations by both parties! I mean if you think you can change someones political beliefs based on your own then you are all sorts of crazy!
Pink Sparkly shoes make me happy!
So does pretty duck tape!
That is all for now! 5 a.m. comes early!!
Today. 9-2-12
My sweet Conner,
Today is your 15th birthday and I hope that it was a great day. I have thought about you all day long. Honestly not a day goes by that I do not think of you and Allisyn. Regardless of all that happened I love you both more than I could ever tell you. I miss you both. You are always in my heart. This may be the second birthday of yours that has passed but it is not any easier than it was last year. I hope you got to talk to your dad. I hope that you had a great celebration.

Going Greek.
Kendall has been at UTM since the 16th of August. For quite some time we have been discussing if she would participate in recruitment week or not. I have tried not to influence her decision but just tell her that this is her college experience and she has to make that decision for herself.
Monday night was the informational meeting for ladies that were interested in participating in recruitment. I was not sure if she would attend or not because the last she had said was probably not. So I was pretty surprised when she called my Monday night and said that she went and she was so excited about going through the recruitment process.
I am very excited for her. It is bittersweet for me though. UTM does not have a chapter of AST. I know this may sound silly but this was something I always wanted to share with her. I wanted her to maybe go to Belmont or Cumberland and be a part of the AST chapter at that school. I would then be able to be at her initiation and different things. I wont be able to do that now. It makes me sad that I will not be able to share this with her and at this point I won't be able to share it with any of my nieces.
I have looked up the organizations that they have at UTM and done some research on each one and I have my opinion on what I would like her to choose and them to obviously choose her too! However, like I said this is her college experience and I want her to have as much fun as I did!!
I had AMAZING sorority sisters! I can only hope that whatever sorority she ends up in she has as great of a group of ladies as I did at CU in AST!!! I had a blast and miss those ladies so much!

UTM are you ready?
The University of Tennessee at Martin will be getting 2 new students that are dear to me tomorrow. In just a few short hours we will be headed to move Kendall into her dorm room.
I am very excited for her as she gears up for this new journey in her life. I will miss her more than words can express. I can not wait to see all the things she accomplishes during this new journey. I wish I could describe all the things she is to me and how much she means to me. I took her for granted a lot when I was in high school and college and I regret it. I cant remember a time in my life when she was not there. This is a new journey for us all.
I am thankful that she will have her friend Alex there with her. I know that they will look out for each other and take care of each other.
I hope that UTM is ready because these 2 kids are AWESOME FUN and CRAZY! I do know that the faculty is probably not ready for Alex!
