Best Speaker in the 6th Grade! (At least that's my opnion)

Mary Margaret gives her speech....the other picture is of most of the 6th grade. I could not get them all in the picture.















Mary Margaret gave her speech today to the entire (197 students) 6th grade, the meeting was in the Jr. High Cafeteria. I THINK SHE WAS AMAZING! She did a great great job. She seemed a little nervous. There are 46 6th graders running for Student Council. The speeches were done in alphabetical order, Mary Margaret was close to the front, I was able to go listen to her, jury duty was canceled today. She wrote her speech all by herself, turned it in to the teacher and was given the OK. There were a few speeches that sounded like the parent wrote it for them. I just hope that she can keep her grades up to the B average that she has to maintain to be in the Student Council. She helped me with posters, 4 small ones and two big ones. I'm proud Mary Margaret decided to run. If she wants to be involved in School Activities, I'm all for it!

Sad news: M & M's boyfriend broke up with her, for someone prettier than her. HAS HE LOST HIS MIND?

6th Grade Student Council

Mary Margaret has decided to run for 6th Grade Student Council. I said go for it!!!! She'll have to give a speech to the entire 6th grade. We made posters last night. She is going to find out when the "Election Day" is.

I HAVE JURY DUTY STARTING TUESDAY! Hopefully I'll get out of it. I have worked for most of these wonderful attorney's in this town.

John's Party

Angela and Garrie gave John and Cody (Amanda's Friend) a going away party. Cody left Sunday morning for California. John will leave October 1, he doesn't know where yet. Everyone visited and had a great time. Garrie cooked hamburgers and hotdogs and all the trimmings. Took a lot of pictures. The girls and I left when the mosquitos got bad.

John Bratton Makes the Newspaper

September 12, 2007

Johnathon has made the paper! He leaves for Iraq sometime in January after the training that is required. His unit is the 875th. Angela and Garrie are giving him a party this Saturday. Angela was getting things ready for this weekend and has sprained her foot and/or possibly broken it. John will leave for Little Rock for the first round of training this month. He sure has come a long way from that little boy catching salamanders, and wrecking 3 wheelers! We love you John.

Mrs. Butler told me a story about John and his girlfriend Katherine. She told me that something very special happened while he and Katherine were on a date in Jonesboro this weekend. I automatically thought that (the way Mrs. Butler was talking) John proposed... Nicole thought the same thing. If you know Mrs. Butler, you all know that she started the story off this way...."Something special happened with John and Katherine while they were eating in Jonesboro. But I better not say anything..." So now you know why I thought what I did....

Anyway...When John (he was dressed in uniform) and Katherine got ready to leave the restaurant and pay the bill the waitress came over and told John that an anonymous person paid for their meal. John and Katherine then go to the movies and get to the ticket box and find that their way had been paid. Support for our troops come in many different ways. I thought that was very, very nice. ...John is leaving for real, no jokes...

Did any of you see Sally Fields on the Emmys the other night? Her statement was this..."If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any blank wars."

Wonderful Math, How I love It!

I love math. I eat and breath math. NOT!

I do not like math and I don't think that Mary Margaret likes it either. I have found a website that I would have loved to have as a kid (the internet did not exsist then). www.helpwithfractions.com This site explains Greatest Common Factors, Least Common Factors, How to get the GCF and LCF and FRACTIONS! I REALLY like this site. If anyone is having the fun that I am a having...visit this site! I finally had time to get my hair cut and once again JOY FORRESTER at STUDIO 251 did a fantastic job! Taylor, sweet little Taylor, bust me out when I least expect it. The last time that Joy colored my hair, I loved it, but as it faded, it began to look orange...so not having the $$to let Joy fix it, I fixed it myself with dark brown...Taylor told Joy yesterday it was so funny...she is so blunt. "Hey Joy," she says "you remember when you colored Kaye Kaye's hair orange...well, she fixed it and we like the brown better than the orange." Gotta love kids!

They are both getting their hair cut Friday...I think, just for fun, I should get their eyebrows done...ha ha. I wouldn't do that.............

WELCOME TO MY LIFE!

Baby Blues from Jonesboro Sun,
Wednesday, September 12, 2007

I believe that this cartoon says it all! This is my life every day. I liked Jr. High as a kid, as an adult....I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO SCHOOL AND DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK...but I am. For those out there reading this....I know you feel the same way!!! We should start a support group..."Adults Against I DUNNO!" (AAID) I don't like math, but I'm learning it again....against my will! When the teacher told all of us that "Yes, you will use this in life" they KNEW we would have kids! What they should have said was this...."You will have to teach it to your kids when you grow up and its not gonna be fun!"


It will get better.....maybe

Happy Birthday to Andrew Billings! September 10, 2007

Happy 16th Birthday to Andrew Billings! His birthday was September 10, 2007!!!!! He is Dianne and Clayton's oldest son! I know how much Andrew loves for me to put him on this webpage! I could go on and on about how I knew Andrew before he was even born. (I'll try to be brief) How I went to his baby shower with Meemaw and Angela, which by the way was the first time I met his mother Dianne. (Tim and I had been dating about 7 months at this point, so I was fairly new to the Butler family. It took Tim a while to introduce me to the family...I don't know why) Andrew was such a cute little thing when he was born and then about 3 or 4 years old he had the cutest curly top head just barely able to see over the dining room table. He would peak at me over the table and then run and hide from me. Andrew has grown up to be a very "TALL" nice young man. He's doing great in High School and this means he can get his drivers license! WATCH OUT WYNNE HERE COMES ANDREW!!!!!

So Happy Birthday to Andrew, love you! (I know he's loving me right about now. ) The years have flown by too quickly.

Funeral Home Humor

This cartoon was in Thursday's (last week) paper.

Thought you all might get a laugh, I did, I KNOW some people like that.

Happy Birthday to Dianna!!!!

Dianna's Birthday September 1, 19???????

Me (Kaye), Dianna Moore and Sharon Forrester

September 6, 2007

For those of you who don't know....Dianna and I have been friends since 1996. So much has happened to both of us these last 11 years and divorce, kids, marriages, KIDS, FAMILY, loosing our sanity, explaining the birds and the bees (that one is mine alone so far!)and still here we are, 11 years later..."Still Kickin' It" !!!!! (I'm trying to be more COOL, is it working?)

I think that the next 10 years are going to be fabulous, both of us will have teenagers all at one time! Surely we can survive the next 10 years! Sharon Forrester makes the 3rd in our group and we love her! We met at Colby's for Dianna's birthday...we are all celebrating our 29th birthday this year.....(someone told me it's not a lie if you already know that NO ONE will believe it! ha ha) We had a great time!

Magic Springs Pictures

Me, Taylor, Alyssa, Mary Margaret, and Nicole

All of us at Nicole's apartment in Bryant

Nicole, Taylor, Mary Margaret Me and Alyssa

Magic Springs, Hot Springs

The girls and I went to Magic Springs the weekend before school started and yes I am a little slow with these pictures. We had an awesome time with Nicole and Alyssa. We stayed with them at her apartment in Bryant. Its really nice with a swimming pool. Magic Springs was fun, I don't remember it being that fun when I was little. Dad and Mom used to take me and the boys all the time when we lived in Hot Springs...

We all rode every ride but the ones that were closed (only 2) and YES I did the body slide!!!! WHOOP WHOOP! All the water slides were fun and we stayed until the very last minute possible and then went on a SUPER FAST shopping trip on the way back to Nicoles. We were going to all have our picture made at the place where you dress up in the old western wear...$25 for 3 people!!!!! Highway robbery! I think that we made it home that Sunday night around 11:30 PM!
