Life got busy all of a sudden! I feel much better, so I’ve been enjoying a few things here lately. I thought I’d share these great memories here to reflect on them someday.
Back To School
I went back to work on Tuesday! But not to work. My former principal texted me to see if I could make it to a grand celebration at the school. I was the testing coordinator for our school last year, and the kids knocked it out of the park!
Our school received an A rating (a score of 574) on their state testing for the first time. Our little school was ranked number 16 in the state of Mississippi! They have had many fun activities this week, and I was invited to the awards ceremony.
To say I have missed my students and coworkers would be a HUGE understatement. I think about them every single day. As soon as the kids saw me, they went nuts! Haha! I must have hugged every single one of them. It was amazing to see everyone, and I even came home with a plaque in appreciation for my efforts in helping testing run smoothly. I am SO stinkin’ proud of these kids. It was so great to be back just for a couple of hours.
BINGO
My aunt and uncle from Tennessee have been in town this week, and on Tuesday evening, we joined them and my mom for a night out at Lost Pizza. It’s a super fun local pizza place, and on Tuesday nights, they play BINGO.
We didn’t win anything, but we had such a great time. I can’t wait to go back and do this again soon. Even the Teen enjoyed himself.
Getting Better
I finally went to the clinic last week to ensure pneumonia wasn’t setting in after our house was hit by the big virus that shall not be named a few weeks ago. It turns out I had bronchitis. A few meds later, I am finally feeling human again and on the mend. We’re all still hanging on to this terrible cough, though. I guess it will go away eventually.
It finally feels great to be feeling better and to be able to get out into the world again and enjoy some fun things.

Glad to see that you are feeling better. Don’t over do things until you are over that bronchitis! Ask me how I know!
Mandy says
Thanks, Bless! I made sure to slow down and not overdo things. Being sick is no fun!
