This Thing Called Life

My schedule has been so busy. I did not know that I even had a thing called a schedule until these past few months!!! It's CRAZY up in here! I've been so busy with daily life.

Mom and I keep Liam while Amy teaches and Will helps Daddy on the farm. Will goes to work and Liam's Momma comes and gets him from us and takes him home. The days that we keep him (everyday of the week) this is what happens: Wake up, get dressed, play with Liam, he goes down for nap, help Momma, attempt to do school, he wakes up, plays with him, he eats lunch, plays (sometimes naps) and then his Momma comes home!

Meanwhile ......

I get up, get dressed and go to the hospital to volunteer 2 times a week! Then, when a big storm comes up, I have another job (that reminds me, I better take the test!!).

On Mondays, I schedule appointments (doctor, chiropractor, dentist, etc). On Wednesdays, I have Church. So, I go in from 12-4:30, run errands, rush home, put groceries away and hop in the car with Mom and Dad and away we go to church! I teach 1st and 2nd graders so, I'm exhausted by the time that day is over.

This month is extra crazy cause, well, I'm leaving to go out of town for a week (next month) AND I said that I'd help with VBS which is the week before I leave!! Granted it is for 3 days but, that is pushing it to close!! I must have been outta my mind!! Now, for the VBS peeps who might be reading this: I don't regret saying yes .....  I will love EVERY minute of it!! Tomorrow is training!

OH, and did I mention that my sweet NEPHEW IS TURNING 1?!?!?!?!?! Yep, a day of traveling to get family from airports! Seriously, this month is CRAZY!

I'm so excited for going outta town! I'm so excited to get to see a friend (maybe) that I've not seen in 3 years!! I'm ready to go!! WOOHOO!!

First though ...... is volunteering! Monday morning, I'm hittin' the ground runnin'! No holes barred! Excitement is kicking in!! Keeping my brain busy with school and everything else is just what I need!




Oh, and just in case you did not see my status on FB: I cleared out my first drain! Yep, it was clogged with gunk but, I cleared it! BOOYAH!! I DON'T NEED A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I hop that y'all enjoy this post. I'm so sorry that I've not written in a loooooooooong time but, like this post is saying, I've been busy with life!

Its Blogging Time ... Again

Well, how can I say this .... I AM MOVING!!!!!

That's right ladies and gentlemen!!!!! Kate is moving out of her parents house and in with a friend over the summer!!!!!

Her name is Jessica McLaughlin and I have known her for 3 1/2 years AND to all those concerned ... YES, my parents have agreed to this!!!!!

I cant wait to move. I realize that this might be of some surprise but, its not really. Atleast to me it isn't!!!

I've been praying about this for months now. God has opened up a door for me to "try" living on my own without my parents having to buy me a apartment and furnishing it.

I am saying now that I can't wait to move out but, I am sure that when I actually do move out, I will be saying that I cant wait to get back home!!!

Pray for me as I make this new transition!!

Another thing .... I am going to save a bundle (ok, maybe not a bundle but, I am going to save a lot) on gas since my school is only going to be 5 miles away instead of 30 (from my home in Headland)!!!!! I still will have to drive to Headland 1 time a week (to teach on Wednesday nights) but, that will only be til the end of May!! I will also have to drive to Newville (a small rinky-dink town outside of Headland) to go to church.

I am going to save on gas since my new car gets 38-40 (if I drive right) MPG!!!!!



Please everyone remember all the devastation in the Northern part of Alabama!!! Especially the Tuscaloosa and the Birmingham area!!! Please pray for the the states that have been ravaged with tornadoes!!! Also, please pray for Texas!!! They need rain so badly!!!!!



Adios for now!!!!! I have to go start packing!!!!! Did I mention that I move in tomorrow?????

I've been extremely busy!

I have not written on here in ages but, I have been so busy with Marc and his family. For the past 2 week ends, I have been hanging out with Marc Thurs-Sunday!! Both of those week ends, I have been helping his Aunt and him clean up his house!! Its been a blast.I love hanging out with Marc!!

Yesterday, a big storm blew through. Last night, I heard the infamous "train". You know, the ones that people say they here when a tornado is upon them?? Anyway, I ran into Dad and Mom's bedroom to tell them and the told me nonchalantly (I think that is the right word usage) to go back to bed. I did but, it took me a while to go to sleep. Also, I checked the window seals and rain was coming in under the seal of Grandma Calhoun's window seal. I need to tell Mom and Dad about that!!

The storm knocked down another 4th of our ornamental pear tree! Only half of the tree is standing. A tree is down in the horse pasture and it is resting on my fence and my fence is now on the ground. Red could walk over it if he wanted to. That's all to report of storm damage.

I sure do wish that Marc was here!! He went back to work yesterday though!! So happy!! He is a man so, he could operate a chain saw!! I'm stuck with a battery operated saw!!
