Well, since my computer has decided to go crazy and I can't upload pictures I figured I would just write about our life.........Recently I took the kids, (jared taylor and tamra) to Pigeon Forge so they could get away from Lee County a little bit and have some fun at Splash Country and all the other attractions Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer. We really had a good time. Leon had to work so he didn't come down until friday night. I defintely had my hands full with all three kids! I was ready for a bit of a break! It was all good though! We came home late sat. night after a full day of shopping for school clothes and supplies. Tennessee and Virginia were having a tax free day so I tried to take advantage of it even though I had no idea what either of my kids needed for their classes. The kids had open house on monday (tamra) and then tuesday (taylor) but I tried to get a few items that I figured they would be using. Open house went fine but with Taylor starting Lee High this year we were a little lost. Taylor was really dreading the whole 'high school' thing since we had heard some bad stories about the school..............On Tay's first day of school he pretended to totally hate it and told me he was never going back! WEll, luckily it was a trick cause so after that complaint he smiled and said, "Lee High is Awesome" so I was relieved! Today was his second day and he still seems to like it. There are a couple of problems like the lunch and a few boys who keep crowding around his locker during period changes. Hopefully the lunches will get better and these boys will soon get over their 'attitudes' and everything will be great! I was just so worried!.........I'm not real happy with Lee High but as long as I see positive things coming from my child I will learn to accept it.............Tamra had a great first and second day of school too but I wasn't the least bit worried. She has a teacher that is from our church that is a great christian lady and another one of her teachers was her kindergarten teacher so I am fine with her. She will have a third teacher too and I think she is great too so Tamra should have a great year!.........Well, that is it for now! We are off to the 'Buttery' to eat supper. I have heard it is the best place around! I will let u know for sure!

Mom had told me school had started there already. Seems mighty early. Sure hope you can figure out what's wrong so pictures can be posted. Might even have to open another blog with a different name. Have a good evening.

That's what I was thinking.....about school starting so early. Only I found out Kingsport and Corbin, KY both started even earlier than we did. So I guess we weren't the only ones! Which summer could have been a little longer though!! ugh!

Don't think I have ever know of the schools starting this early in August. I thought around the 19th or 20th was the earliest. It's TOO HOT for kids to be sitting in classrooms. Stupid School Board!!!!
