Don't know about all this but I really did like the socks!!!

Good News

Hello everyone..Just wanted to give you an update on my sister. We got to bring her home today (Sat.). After a long week and a lot of suffering on her part the doctor gave the OK to bring her home. She is at home and resting comfortably. This has been the most stressful week. Traveling back and forth to Winston-Salem is so long. But you know what I would travel to end of the earth for her if need be.
Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts. I know she felt them as well as the rest of us. She still has a long road ahead of her with the recovery but I know she's a strong person and will be back to her normal self in no time.

More later...Have a good weekend.

This Week

Just so you know I will not be on that much any more the rest of the week so nothing good better happen while I'm on my hiatus! My sister will be having surgery tomorrow (Tues) and I will be spending all my time in Winston-Salem at Baptist Hospital. Everyone, Please say a special prayer for her. This is something she knew was coming and was ready for it but now that the time has come she is really anxious and rightfully so. I know some of you have sisters or you have someone who is as close to you as a sister, but for me my sister is my "best friend". We are very close and I just don't know what I would do with out her. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers because I know The Lord has everything in control.
So this will be it for me until the end of the week or there bouts but then again sometimes I don't post anything in a week or so.....at least my next post will be about good news following surgery and recovery.
Hope everyone has a blessed week and will post again soon!!!

"The Call"

Well, I got the call that mother's hate to get.....Ms. Templeton this is .....at Reidsville High, your daughter Julie has been hurt and we need you to come to the school as soon as you can. Well, Can you guess how fast I got there? Yep pretty darn fast!!!
She was of course playing volleyball and landed wrong her ankle. The girls all said they heard it "POP" and she went down. By the time I got there they had an ice pack on her ankle but it was as big as a soft ball almost. I just knew it was broken. All the girls were standing around her and she was just crying....Not sure if it was a pain cry or I can't play volleyball cry, but anyway
Here we go to the ER to get it x-rayed and believe it or not we were only at the hospital for about an hour. Yep that's right an hour in the ER at Annie Penn. That has got to be a record.
Results came back no broken bones that they could see but it was swollen so it could be a hair-line fracture and they just can't see it yet. No volleyball for her for at least a week and she is in an air cast and on crutches......and mama is finally breathing a sigh of relief.
I know some of you know what I'm talking about!. I had the worst thoughts driving to the school yesterday. She's broken her leg, she's hit her head and is unconscious......you know how it is. So when it's just an ankle it was a relief knowing it could have been so much worse. So she's not playing right now but still will go and support her team and maybe just maybe will get to play next week but she will have to wear a ankle support to keep it from being hurt again. The next time (hopefully there won't be one but you never know) we may not be so lucky.

It's Friday!!!!

Well It's Friday and all is well. I know my last post was about Monday and so depressing so now I've decided to write about Friday and nothing but good stuff...

To start with Julie had a game yesterday in Greensboro and though they tried really hard they still could not pull off there first win. However they did play a great 2nd game and only lost by 5 points which I might say is a GREAT improvement because they usually loose by at least 15 or more. After all, this is there first year and all the girls are new and have no clue how to play volleyball. Julie has only played with our church when we played and really now....were no good either so the concept of actually playing in a game is all new to her and everyone else. The most important thing I tell her is to have fun. If you don't win a game this season at least have fun and enjoy your time with friends. That is one thing I really like about her coach. She doesn't promote winning (which would be a good thing) but she wants them to focus on teamwork and having a good time. Her daddy and I try to go to her games whether they are home or away because we want her to know we support her in every way! WIN OR LOSE!

Tonight is the big rival game in Wentworth...Rockingham VS Reidsville. OK now I know I'm a little partial when it comes to Reidsville Rams....State Champs...but I really hope it's a good game. We most of the time just blow away the competition but we could have an off night and they could possibly have an on night and we could walk away with our first loss since sometime in 06 I believe....and just because we have some friends kids that go there and some that went there just makes it all the more SWEEEEETTTTTT when we win...hehehehe!!!

Now you know why we look forward to Friday's. We just love going to football games and now that we have a girl playing volleyball we go to those games as well. Support your school as well as your kids!!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!!!

It's Monday....AGAIN

It's Monday again and as I sit here I was just wondering does anyone else dread Monday's like I do? It just seems like the weekend goes by so fast you don't even have time to do anything and then before you know it it's Monday and were back at work, school and the normal hustle and bustle of the work week.

I guess I just have the Monday blues today so I thought I would share them with others so now everyone has them with me. I was always told to share so just doing what I was told to do.
If anyone has any advice on how to get over this I would really love to hear it. Maybe if I was a little more excited about my job it wouldn't seem so bad but having to come to work when you really don't know what's happening from one day to the next does tend to get on ones nerves occasionally.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good week despite my depressing blog for today. Maybe tomorrow will bring a better day as well as a better conversation piece.

HAPPY MONDAY
