THE DAY IN MY LIFE

OF BEING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. TODAY I HAD 11TH GRADE WORLD HISTORY CLASS IN A NEW SCHOOL I'VE NEVER BEEN TO. THE FIRST THING THAT WENT OUT OF THE USUAL WAS A STUDENT WENT TO SLEEP AT HIS DESK WHILE WE WERE WATCHING A MOVIE. ANOTHER STUDENT PUSHED HIS DESK ALL AROUND THE ROOM AND ENDED UP OPENING THE DOOR AND WAS GOING TO PUSH HIM OUT INTO THE HALL UNTIL I TALKED HIM OUT OF IT. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FROM ANOTHER CLASS TO WITNESS THIS FUN.



AFTER HE WAS PUSHED ALL AROUND THE ROOM HE WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE ROOM FACING THE CHALK BOARD AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. HE NEVER MOVED OR WOKE UP........HE SURE MUST OF HAD A FUN WEEKEND.

IN THE NEXT CLASS A STUDENT THREW A PAPER WAD



THE NEXT THING THAT WENT THROUGH THE AIR WAS A MARSHMALLOW



NOW IT WAS REALLY GETTING FUNNY UNTIL THEY STARTED PUTTING GERM-X ON THE MARSHMALLOWS



SOMEONE'S PHONE STARTED MAGICALLY PLAYING MUSIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOOD FIGHT



NOW WE HAVE MUSIC, GERM FREE MARSHMALLOWS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR AND AN ALL OUT FOOD FIGHT WITH STUDENTS LOOKING PRETTY MUCH LIKE THIS.


/>..

AFTER I STOPPED LAUGHING AND GETTING SOME CONTROL BACK IN THE ATMOSPHERE I TOLD THE STUDENTS THEIR TEACHER WOULD BE BACK TOMORROW AND THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY THEY WERE GOING TO DO AWAY WITH HIM AND KEEP ME FULL TIME.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S IN STORE FOR TOMORROW IN 11TH GRADE BIOLOGY AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL.

I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN THE HOLIDAYS LETS ALL MY SCHOOL GROUPS GO HOME AND I CAN'T SEE THEM EVERYDAY.


I WILL SURELY BE SAD WITHOUT MY LOVELIES TO ENTERTAIN ME AND FOR ME TO TEACH THEM LESSONS TO CARRY THEM THROUGH LIFE SUCH AS HOW TO KEEP A MARSHMALLOW FROM GETTING THE SWINE FLU.

FALL IN MY WORLD

I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN MY JOURNAL SINCE JULY. I HAVE BEEN HEALING OVER THE LOSE OF TOMMY AND HAVE BEEN STARTING MY LIFE IN A NEW DIRECTION ON MY OWN ONCE AGAIN...... I MET A GUY DURING THE SUMMER AND HAD A SUMMER FLING. I DECIDED WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH IN COMMON AND IT WAS JUST A REBOUND THANG...... I STOPPED SEEING HIM AND WAS ONCE AGAIN ON MY OWN FLYING BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS...... A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AND AS I KEPT HOLDING THOUGHTS OF TOMMY IN MY MIND I STARTED TO BEGIN HEALING MORE OR SHOULD I SAY I STARTED EXCEPTING HIS PRESENCE NOT BEING HERE MORE AND MORE WHICH IS STILL A DAILY FRAME OF MIND IN PROGRESS.

MY BIRTHDAY CAME AND WENT. SCHOOL STARTED BACK. I STARTED BEING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. I HAVE HAD MANY GREAT........... SOME NOT SO GREAT MOMENTS. I'VE GOT THE HANG OF IT ALL NOW AND ALL I CAN SAY TO SUM IT ALL UP IS......TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND FEEL THAT IT MATTERS: HOW COULD ANYTHING BE MORE FUN ? I SUBSTITUTE TEACH KINDERGARDENERS- 12TH GRADERS. IT IS A BLAST AND EVERYDAY IS A DIFFERENT SCHOOL, DIFFERENT CLASS, DIFFERENT AGE WHICH SEEMS PERFECT TO ME.

TIME KEPT PASSING. I WAS ENJOYING BEING IN MY CLASS ROOMS AND THE DAYS STARTED GETTING COOLER LEAVES STARTED CHANGING ON THE TREES AND I STARTED FINDING MY LAUGHING PLACE MUCH EASIER ONCE AGAIN.

A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MIND SET ME UP ON A BLIND DATE WITH HER HUSBAND'S BOSS. WHO IS JUST ONE YR. OLDER THAN ME.

IT WAS THE FIRST BLIND DATE I'VE EVER BEEN ON. I HAVE HEARD MANY HORROR STORIES. I FELT FROGGY ONCE AGAIN AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A WHIRL.

IT WAS A HOME RUN. WE HIT IT OFF PERFECTLY AND NOW I'M DATING BOBBY AND WE ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN TOGETHER AND SOMETIMES WE HANG OUT TOGETHER WITH OUR MUTRAL FREINDS WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME.

IT'S NOW FALL TIME IN MY WORLD AND HERE ARE SOME PICS OF MY WORLD AT HOME DURING THESE BEATIFUL DAYS OF FALL.



THE RANCH IS SO BEAUTIFUL THIS TIME OF THE YEAR



THESE ARE THE MOST RECENT PICS BELOW IN THE SLIDESHOW THAT ELIZABETH ( MY DAUGHTER ) AND I TOOK THIS PAST WEEKEND OF OUR FALL DECORATIONS AT HOME AND OF ANNIE ( MY HORSE ) . ANNIE IS THE ONLY HORSE AND ANIMAL LEFT FROM THE RANCH. ALL THE REST HAS BEEN SOLD. I NOW KEEP ANNIE IN MY YARD AND MY WOODED LOT NEXT DOOR TO MY HOME THAT TOMMY FENCED IN FOR ME JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE HE WAS KILLED........ I HAVE ALSO LOST AROUND 50 LBS SINCE TOMMY DIED. I CALL IT THE DEATH DIET AND NO...... NOT ANYONE EVER WANTS TO BE ON THIS DIET. ALTHOUGH I DO FEEL MUCH BETTER THIS SMALLER SIZE AND PLAN NEVER TO GAIN IT BACK LIKE I HAVE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. I AM A SIZE 3 BUT I FEEL GREAT AT THIS SIZE. THE REASON I LOST IT WAS JUST NOT GREAT BY ANY MEANS.




THIS ABOUT CATCHES UP MY JOURNAL UP TO THE PRESENT TIME.

HORSE TRADING AND THINGS KEEP CHANGING

I HAVE TRADED WILDFIRE WHICH IS THE DARK COLT IN THIS PIC FOR THE NEW PAINT COLT WITH BLUE EYES. I'M GOING TO GIVE THE PAINT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO LIVES IN MS. I'M THEN GOING TO BRING ANNIE THE WELSH BROWN AND WHITE MOTHER IN THIS PIC BACK OVER TO MY HOUSE AND KEEP HER BECAUSE SHE IS TRAINED AND VERY VERY GENTLE.



THIS IS A PIC OF THE PAINT I'M TRADING WILDFIRE FOR AND GIVING TO KISSY. I'M VERY EXCITED BECAUSE THE PAINT HORSES WERE MINE AND TOMMY'S FAVORITE ONES AND KISSY WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE PAINT AS HE WILL BE A FULL GROWN HORSE INSTEAD OF A WELSH WHICH IS PART SHETLAND AND PART TN WALKER AND DOES NOT GET AS BIG. KISSY IS FIXING HER FENCES NOW AND GOING TO PICK UP HER PAINT COLT ON TUESDAY.




ISN'T HE BEAUTIFUL WITH THOSE BABY BLUE EYES AND SUCH PRETTY MARKINGS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM TRAIN HIM AND PICK A NAME.

TOMMY'S KIDS ARE SELLING ALL THE HORSES NOW. EVERYTHING IS FALLING AT THE RANCH ONE BOARD AT A TIME AND NOW THE HORSES ARE GOING TOO. I HAVE MY MEMORIES AND PICS AND 2 HORSES. IT WAS AN AWESOME 9 YRS WITH TOMMY AND WE WERE AWESOME TOGETHER. AS EVERYTHING CHANGES SINCE TOMMY DIED I'VE GOT TO KEEP THE MEMORIES CLOSE AND EXCEPT
THE CHANGES WITH EASE. LIKE TOMMY TOLD ME WHEN HE FIXED MY PLACE FOR THE HORSES WITH THE FENCES AND WALKED THE HORSES OVER TO MY HOUSE " NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY OWN RANCH. " I DO AND I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY MEMORIES AS I LOOK AT MY HORSES AND TAKE CARE OF THEM DAILY. NOW KISSY WILL HAVE HER HORSE WHICH SHE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TOO AND IT WILL BE OUR FAVORITE KIND. THANKS TOMMY I LOVE U MY HORSES AND OUR 9 YRS TOGETHER.



HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN AND WE WILL WHEN MY TIME HERE IS OVER TOO. .

IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

YOU SHOULD NEVER TAKE MORE THAN YOU GIVE.

TODAY I WATCH A MARE GIVE BIRTH TO A BABY COLT. IT WAS AWESOME. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU A THING BECAUSE A PIC SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS. THIS IS A HORSE LOVE STORY IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.






TOMMY AND I USE TO SHARE THESE MOMENTS TOGETHER. I FELT LIKE HE KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN I HELPED THE MOTHER CLEAN HER BABY UP AND GET HER FREE FROM ALL THE AFTER BIRTH. THEN WATCHING WHAT TOOK PLACE NEXT. SO HERE'S MY ADVENTURE TODAY IN THE CIRLCE OF LIFE

TTHIS WAS AWESOME. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE ONE BORN BUT NEVER GOT TO. ONCE TOMMY AND I HAD TO OPEN THE BAG AND TRY TO REVIVE A COLT BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE IT WHICH WAS VERY SAD. TOMMY USE TO SAY IN THE RANCHING WORLD YOU LOSE SOME AND YOU GAIN SOME...... THATS JUST HE WAY IT IS JUDY.

ROCK THE NIGHT AWAY !

I WENT TO THE 3RD PEABODY ROOF TOP PARTY OF THE SEASON OF 2009 FOR ME LAST NIGHT. THIS IS WHERE I MET SAMMY FOR THE FIRST TIME. NOT THIS NIGHT, BUT BEOFRE THIS.

I WAS CELEBRATING THE 10TH YR. FIGHT OF MY ESTATE WITH MY STEP SON BEING OVER ON THE 10TH YR ANNIVERSARY OF MY HUSBAND'S DEATH IN OUR HORRIFIC AUTO WRECK WHICH ALSO TOOK MY 4 YR OLD GRANDSON'S LIFE.

I WAS CELEBRATING THAT AS WELL AS COMING OUT OF 6 MONTHS OF A TERRIBLE 40 LB WEIGHT LOSS FROM GRIEVING OVER THE TRACTOR ACCIDENT I FOUND TOMMY IN AND THE 6 DAYS OF TRAUMA I WATCHED HIM GO THROUGH IN THE ICU UNIT AT THE MED AND IN THE END DIE.

I HAVE FOUND SOMEONE WHO I REALLY CARE ABOUT AND WHO CAN ROCK JUST LIKE ME. WE ARE LIKE TWO PEAS IN A POD IN MANY WAYS. MY ITALIAN STALLION IS HERE TO STAY WITH ME TO ROCK THE NIGHTS AWAY.

TURN ON THE VIDEO



WE CERTAINLY CELEBRATED LAST NIGHT AND HALF THE DAY TODAY. NOW I'M HEADED TO BED BECAUSE WE HAVE A HOT DATE TOMORROW NIGHT TO ROCK AT ALFRED'S ON BEALE AND PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.

..

IT OVER , IT'S ALL OVER

THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF RONNIE'S DEATH (MY HUSBAND) AND JERRETT MY 4 YR OLD GRANDSON IS TOMORROW.

MY STEP SON STARTED FIGHTING ME IN 1999 WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK HIS LAST BREATH. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING 10 YRS. AFTER MY STEP SON STOPPED FIGHTING MY LAWYERS WOULD NOT RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS IN 8 YRS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED THEM EACH AND EVERY YEAR ALL YEAR LONG.

I CALLED MY LAWYER'S SECRETARY. I WENT OFF DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY AND FIRED THEM TO HER. I TOLD HER TO TELL THEM I WANTED A MEETING WITH THEM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, NOW!! A STATEMENT OF WHAT I HAD PAID, WHAT THEY HAD DONE AND HOW MUCH I OWED THEM.

TODAY I GOT A CALL FROM ONE OF THE LAWYERS AND WAS TOLD MY CASE IS FINAL SINCE 2005. THEY NEVER TOLD ME. 4 YRS OF UNDUE STRESS FOR NOTHING. THANK GOD MY HOUSE IS IN MY NAME IT'S ALL OVER !

NOW ON THE ANNIVERSARY I'M GOING TO ROCK AND ROLL. THANK YOU GOD , THANK YOU RONNIE AND THANK MYSELF FOR HAVING THE BALLS TO STAND UP AFTER 10 YRS AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND BECAUSE YOU CRAZY ASS LAWYERS WILL NOT RESPOND TO ME IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FASHION I'M COMING TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I THINK.

THEN I WAS GOING TO WRITE THE BOARD OF ACCOUNTABILITY ON THEM. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER LAWYER THAT WOULD MAKE THEM JUMP OUT OF THIER 25TH FLOOR WINDOW FROM THE CLARK TOWER BUILDING IN MEMPHIS IF I DID THAT.

I WAS HEADED IN THAT EXACT DIRECTION. I TOLD THIER SECRETARY I WANTED THAT MEETING IMMEDIATELY AND NOT 10 YRS FROM NOW OR I WOULD BE SITTING IN THIER OFFICE UNTIL THEY SAW ME TOGETHER. YES INDEED I HAD HAD ENOUGH OF THE BULL.

AFTER THE MEETING I WAS ASKING FOR AND AFTER PICKING UP MY FILES THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO.

THEY MUST OF FELT IT COMING WITH THE MESSAGE I LEFT THIER SECRETARY SO THEY WENT DOWN TOWN AND LOOKED UP MY FILE. MY LAWYER CALLED TODAY AND SAID IT WAS OVER AND FINISHED IN 2005. NEVER EVEN A PHONE CALL TO LET ME KNOW.

AT THE VERY LEAST IT HAS BEEN THE MOST UNETHICAL THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE.





HE'S DANCING LIKE THIS IN HEAVEN AND I'M DANCING LIKE THIS ON EARTH WHICH MEANS WE ARE STILL DANCING TOGETHER LIKE WE ALWAYS DID. OH HAPPY DAY !!!!










IT TOOK ME 10 YRS BUT I WON!!!!!!!!!! I GOT MY MONEY, MY HOUSE, MY SANITY AND MY CHILDREN WILL GET THIER INHERITANCE.tMY PRETTY RONNIE I FINALLY FINISHED YOUR FINAL WISHES. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN KEEP A PLACE FOR ME BESIDE YOU IN HEAVEN. I STILL HAVE MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB BUT I'M HEADED IN YOUR DIRECTION.
I LOVE YOU UNTIL ETERNITY , YOUR PEARL





IT SURE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE I SAW YOU 10 LONG YRS AGO FOR THE LAST TIME. IT FEELS LIKE I JUST SAW YOU YESTERDAY AND THAT'S A GREAT THING. A MIGHTY GREAT THING INDEED!

"IT'S TIMELESS LOVE" LIKE WHAT YOU INSCRIBED ON MY GRANDFATHER CLOCK AND WITH EACH TICK OF THAT CLOCK MY LOVE FOR YOU GROWS DEEPER AND DEEPER.
