Funky Friday II | Contagious or not?

As Barbie Bassett called it in her March 23rd post, Funky Friday, I am having the same thing today.

I woke up around midnight in terrible pain. Will spare you the details, but let's say I was not fit to go to school. I woke back up around 6AM or so to get ready (having going to school in my intentions). I just couldn't get the "get-up-and-go" to get around. So, I went and told my father. He said he was waiting for that, meaning he knew I been up several hours throughout the night. So, he told me I needed to stay and not pass it around. I tried to lay back down, but it didn't work. Since I had to stay home, I had to send Will on the bus.

Some severe weather in Texas this morning. I have been watching the NWS radar all morning throughout Texas' radar sites and it is looking very nasty. Check out the story here...

As far as we here in Central Mississippi are concerned, our best chance of rain will be this weekend; 40% chance of storms and showers during the day and a 100% chance of rain from afternoon into Sat. night. Chances for more rain are good into Tuesday. Have your NOAA Weather Radio on and ready to alert you!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Busy Week: Part II

To start this off, I would like to mention that a lot of people recieved rain yesterday. I didn't get any here at my house--but it was a answered prayer for I was trying to finish cutting the grass!

No after school band practice after all for me but still a busy day.

Short post, but just nothing to say today! HA!

Have a good day!

SUPER Busy Week Is In Store

We all say we are going to get some rest during the weekend---not with me. I was super busy. Saturday, I was in Laurel all day at Belk's looking for some clothes. Just about spent the whole day in Laurel. Then Sunday, just tried to rest--some.

This week hold a week full of band and MS state tests. Today held nothing for me. Tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday, I won't be getting in until very late. For the next two days, I have after-school practice for band. On Thursday afternoon, we have MHSAA Pre-Festival concert competition at JCJC-Ellisville untill about 8:00PM. Pray I can keep my strength!

Does Mississippi Not Have Good Enough Job's?

As I was catching up on the news on the Clarion-Ledger website, I came across this story...


http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070322/BIZ/70322008

...and was almost shocked when I read it. Mississippi has some of the most intelligent people in the country. Some may think I was stretching that last sentence kind of far but it's true. We may have the smarts, but sometimes I do wonder whether the jobs here are good enough or not for the ones with the degree(s). Is pay, benefits, etc. the problem? On this post, I would like to see what you have to say. Post your comment(s) and just take it from there...

80 Years Young and Still Going Strong

My grandmother, Helen, as everyone calls her, just had outpatient surgery today in Laurel at South Central Regional Medical Center. She had a "stunt" removed from her bladder. Two weeks or so ago, at 79 (Mar. 12Th was her birthday so now she is 80) she had a hysterectomy. All was the result of having a tumor on one of her ovaries. Now, take into consideration her age--all 3 of her sisters had this procedure done but mawmaw, as I call her, was born in the Great Depression era and well...they just didn't understand all that as they grew up. Her mother never had it done, either.

Also, in 2006, she had a mastectomy at SCRMC-Laurel. That went fine as well. All this was mentioned to say this---God has put a strong woman on this Earth. For what all she has been through, God still has her on this old earth? Yes, God has a reason for everyone to be here. If he isn't ready for you, he won't let you go. That is the way he is with my grandmother. As much medical problems and two-strikes of possible cancer of the breast and ovarian cancer, she is still holding on and going strong.

My brother and I came in from school today and got out of the car. My father told us several days in advance that he may not be home when we get in today. We know how the procedure is when Will and I are home alone---lock the doors and stay in, only answer phone numbers for whom we know, and let NO ONE in!!! They left to head from Taylorsville to Laurel at 6AM! She had her outpatient surgery with no problems. When they came home around 5PM, she went straight to her back deck to look at the pond. We live right by my grandmother. The only thing that separates us is a small patch of woods and we live up on a hill. Daddy walked up and couldn't believe she was already up and going! I love my grandmother; she doesn't let anything or anybody get in her way. That is the way we all should be.

Dear Lord, please let me and my family be as strong as this woman is. Amen...

Satan Vs Schools and Lives

In recent years, violence in schools(Taylorsville in particular) hasn't been very bad---the average fight here and there. I am a sophomore and never have been in a fight in school my entire school career. Some say I am a "chicken", etc. But, I just try to let God handle my daily battles as much as I can. I am saying what I am saying because now in schools, the violence is HORRIBLE. This year alone in area schools, they have seen their highest violence rate in school history. Most kids don't attend church regularly, parents getting divorced/separated, and many, many other things to cause problems. They don't think what effects it will have on their child.

Not going into details, but, my parents got a divorce in 2005 and I didn't let it change me for the worse. I let it make a better person out of me---as a matter of fact, it made my relationship with God 100% stronger. Two and a half years later, I realize I didn't let Satan take over my emotions and get in control of my life like some other kids have (or it seems like it). You may say "Wow, this kid thinks he knows it all". Well, I don't. I have been there and done that, as you may say. If we let Satan take control of our emotions and actions just like at school, work, ball games, or ANYWHERE, he has succeeded and we can make other lives miserable when our life is just as miserable.

If we trust in God all day and every day, we won't have anything to worry about it.

And that's the truth!

Is it spring??

Most of you can agree with me---it feels just like spring! The high officially at the airport in Jackson made it to 76*F. According to local forecast and computer models, the highs throughout the rest of the work week will be at or if not on the 80* mark. This warmer weather and dry conditions are brought to you in part by a area of high pressure and our next rain chance isn't predicted until this weekend.

Last week, Smith County Schools(as well as many other Metro-Jackson school districts) had the joy of spring break. I know I didn't get the rest I was hoping for; I was mostly in the yard working and planting flowers! Smith County School's next scheduled school vacation is Easter (April). I know this is a short post, but this is my very first post!!!

Be good and keep God first at all times...
