AWWW good times!

I can't tell you how happy I am to be back into society, back into the real world. I do have to say in my in-laws defense, I do have fresh eggs, fresh veggies, and good home cooking, but still...NO INTERNET...seriously. Just some highlights from the last 3 weeks:
I found a sprinkler park that we frequented.
Visited the local park occasionally.
Drove to NC to a place called the Fun Factory.
Went to a local beach a few times, that was like the river turned beachish with sand.
Spent time around the house or went to the pasture.
That's about it folks...can you see why I was on the verge of insanity.
I really wish I could show pictures, perhaps another time.
Oh wait, I do have an out of character story that may amuse you...
One morning I was looking out the kitchen window only to find a baby goat had gotten out of the pen. My father-in-law was home, but was in no condition to catch a goat. Seriously how hard could it be? I had to step up and volunteer to catch the poor goat. He laughed straight at me, and thought it was the funniest thing. The little city girl was going out to attempt to be a country girl..hey I was ready for a challenge! So after running around like a chicken without a head, I decided to make a plan. I the city girl had to outsmart the country goat. I chased her and blocked it up against a shed and literally jumped on her. OK laugh, but I caught the little critter. Let me tell you now for those of you who have never caught a baby goat...they are fast, so don't try this at home...you may not have the skills I had to catch her and still look fab after! Needless to say I went straight to the shower to scrub all the goat cooties off me. My boys thought it was COOL!! I rocked!
There really is so much more, but I need to go rest and just hang out with my cousin for a bit before hitting the sack.
SO now I get to come back and muse some about my teacher training after two fun filled days!! Yesterday, Thursday, was so great. I have to say I really got more out of this 9 hour day than I did through 9 months of regular teacher training. LOL Really, it was so helpful, insightful, and enlightening. Today we did more teaching and following the recipe for baking a pound cake. You might be wondering what the hell is she talking about....i will explain more later..hehe See now you will have to come back and read more to find out what I am talking about.

Back to Technology

HELLO PEOPLE!! I'm back! I have been away from the modern world way to much, and I am going to have to pace myself getting back into the swing of things LOL...I mean really folks, I don't have to go out and pick or work to find my next meal....just kidding...I had my first Starbucks in the Atlanta airport on my way back to TX...yep I am here, but only for the rest of the weekend for teacher training with Christina...FUN TIMES. I seriously have so much to say, but it has been a long day so not now. I have access to a computer now, so I will update daily...I have missed you all, and look forward to moving back to TX to await the big move. Thanks Anne, Christina, and Faith for you comments and feeling my pain. I will say this, it has gotten a bit I say a BIT better, but more to come over the next few days. Off to rest and get ready for a great day tomorrow.

So now I am here is GA. Sitting in a library because my in-laws don't have Internet connection- seriously who does not have Internet connection. Jason has the boys at a nearby park awaiting my phone call. As I look around me a the beauty this area brings, I can help but continue to look around and say- What no mall? No Starbucks? no HEB or Whole foods? to name a few. Where has my husband brought me?? Sure those of you who love the outdoors are probably saying...seriously Jen, but sorry folks, I like certain things and well, just can't live long without them! So there the awful truth comes out...oh well that's just the way it is. In the meantime, I did find Starbucks mocha in the 4 pack at Quality Foods...that's the local grocery store. I have to travel quite a ways for the Mall of GA- about 45 min or so.
Okay I have just been told that I only have 5 minutes left on the computer...when does it end people..seriously!! timing me on the computer..this place is dead, it's not like there is line waiting...
More to write when I get a chance.
LOVE TO ALL!!!
MISSING YOU!!
