So....been a long time.
Next Saturday is the big Odyssey of the Mind competition and I cannot wait for it all to be over. It is no longer fun just life-force-sucking and stressful. These kids are driving me crazy with their complete lack of motivation and utter laziness. Were we like this in 5th and 6th grade? I hope not. Kids these days have terrible attitudes and poor work habits. Maybe it's just these kids. I hope so.
So after Saturday, my life can begin again. On to the next big event....Spring Break! I am so excited!! I need a break, I need to get out of this town, and I need to see some sights. How can this all be accomplished? Why, a road trip! On a Saturday very soon, we will be loading up in someone's car and heading off on the Grand Tour of the South. We will be touring 6 scenic states: Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Well, I hope they're scenic, as I haven't been to most of these.
Here are things I'm most looking forward to: Elvis paraphernalia, Southern accents, biscuits and gravy, the Nun Bun, blues music, the Nash Trash tour, the Civil Rights Museum, Chattanooga-the home of moon pies, road trip mixes on the ipod, reading maps, and eating some good comfort food. What I will regret: Dollywood not being open while we are there. One day, Dolly Parton, I will come see you and your park of amusement.
So woo hoo! I am counting down the days! Three weeks to go! (I believe.)
I am ready.
Are you?

1. I JUST watched an hour long PBS documentary on Elvis. Re-educating myself. I feel like I need to recheck my fave book from the library "Elvis, Hank and Me."
2. OM! Saturday! Get pumped, and I promise not to laugh. It will rock.
3. I have vowed to myself to watch my family video from our trip to Nashville in 1993. I will see if there are any highlights you need to view before we depart. :)
4. Enjoy those little kiddos next week. TAKS is making me want to vomit!!!
