At Home Teacher Work Day!!!

Well, it's a once in a lifetime day tomorrow! An at home teacher work day! Because of the gas shortage mentioned in my last post, CMS has decided that tomorrow's teacher work day will be a work from home day.  We are suppose to use our time at home tomorrow for work and to find gas while everyone else is at work.   Well,  I don't have to get gas because my wonderful husband found some gas and filled up my car.  He had to go to South Carolina to get it, but it was only about a 20 minute drive.  He went and waited in line for just a few minutes and filled up my car and then came home, switched to his truck and went back to fill it up.  I intend to enjoy my "workday" tomorrow!  I will go into school for a little while, but mostly I will enjoy my paid day off! HAHA! I probably shouldn't refer to it as that.  I will do work, but I bet a lot of teachers and staff won't.  I hope you enjoy your Tuesday as much as I intend to enjoy mine!

Football and Gas...

Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while.  We have been busy with work and other things, but nothing too exciting has happened, so I had nothing to write about.  We did go to the Auburn vs. LSU game last weekend.  We enjoyed seeing my family (Mom, Jamie, Whitney (Jamie's girlfriend), Uncle Henry, Aunt Leigh Anne, Abby, and Sarah), Daniel's family (everyone!!!), and a few old friends.  Lane rode to Auburn with us and we enjoyed spending time with her.  On the way we saw a motorcycle run into the back of a stopped car...not too pretty....I have to call 911, that was a new experience, but it looked like everyone was okay.  It was a good game...even though we lost.  We did better than I could have ever expected, so I can't complain.  Now, after this weekend, with Alabama at #2, LSU at #3, Georgia at #11, Florida at #12, Auburn at #13, and Vanderbilt at #19, the SEC looks pretty good.  It just stinks that we have to keep knocking each other around!  Hopefully we will work out these kinks in our offense and beat a couple of those teams I mentioned before.  

Anyway, on to what this post was really suppose to be about.  GAS...  Mom and Dad (Crawford) were suppose to come visit us this weekend, but on Wednesday we had to cancel because there is NO gas anywhere in Charlotte.  They were afraid they would get stuck here longer than just the weekend.  Daniel and I were trying not to panic like it seems the whole city is doing and felt fine with our 1/2 tanks of gas (each). Well, after driving back and forth to school all week and then going to church this morning, my car is almost down to a 1/4 of a tank and Daniel's not far behind.  So Daniel decided to get on the phone and call gas stations rather than driving around to find one (and using gas).  Well, just a few minutes ago, he called a station in South Carolina down 77, and they said they have 16000 gallons!!  He is headed to the station now!  Hopefully at least one of us will have gas now...I guess we could carpool to work with each other.  Who knows??  

WAR EAGLE!

Visiting Friends and Family!

Over Labor Day weekend, Daniel and I were able to go to Auburn and Georgia.  We spent time with my family in Auburn and met Jamie's girlfriend, 

Whitney (so cute and sweet!)!!  We got to see some old friends before the game and a few more during the game.  And of course we won! WAR EAGLE!  We stayed with Scott and Courtney at their beautiful house in LaGrange.  On Sunday, we went to Columbus and spent some time with my grandmother and then went to dinner at 

Amy and Will's wonderful house!  Amy made a wonderful dinner and it was so nice to spend time with them and the kids since we don't get to

 see them very often.  Charlotte (the dog) made the trip with us and she had a fun time playing with Rudy all weekend.  All in all, it was a great weekend!

Here are some pictures of the weekend:
