Kids!

My nephew Hunter is having a hard time. See my papa passed away at the end of April. They were so close. Papa would always ride him around on the lawn mower, and show him how to play the guitar. He was in heaven when my mom moved behind my grandparents last year. He would run from house to house all day. He has ask a couple of times when papa is going to come back. His mom and dad keep explaining that he's not, but at six it's hard to understand.
This past weekend someone poisoned is dog. It's so sad. He ask his mom Monday night if they could pray to god about sparky. So Hunter prayed and ask that god please feed and play with his dog. I was in tears when mom told me this story.
Well today at school he got a paddling. I do not agree with the teacher on his reasons for spanking him. To me it's not right to paddle a kid for breaking a pencil and saying he didn't do it. Than throwing it down and saying he didn't do it, and for joking with his friend saying some little girl is his girlfriend. The teacher told him he was getting a paddling for lying and calling a kid a name. Now in no part of the story did he call a kid a name. On that note I think the parents should be told of the lying, instead of pulling out a piece of wood. Come on teacher, get with it and give his parents a chance to handle the problem. It's the first day he has had this problem with him, and he knows about him not understanding why all these people he loves are leaving.
I know teachers have to have the class under control, and they can't let kids go crazy. If he had done this before than of course punish him. However, if you know a child is having a hard time, than us should expect little and I do mean little things like this to happen. I just feel that he should have called a parent and talked to them about it first. I read the book they send home for the parents to sign and there was not one bad comment about Hunter's behavior. He also told the kids that if you tell the truth you get in a little trouble and if you lye you get in big trouble. I don't know about you, but to me a bunch of six year old would only hear truth trouble, lye trouble. I don't think this is what his mom thought he would get paddled for when she signed the permission slip. Hopefully she tells them to tear it up tomorrow when she goes up there. Don't get me wrong I want him to be honest and respectful, but he is also six years old. He is still at a very impressionable age. This is just my opinion on my personal situation. I'm sure people will read this and agree with the teacher, and that's fine. I am just upset at how the teacher handled it. I will always stand behind him good or bad, right or wrong. I want him to do the right things and I know he will. He has the greatest personality and the biggest heart.

LIFE

Next Friday I will be turning 25, and I have spent the past couple of days thinking. I've been thinking about the past few years and the things I've done. I made some great choices in the past few years. However, I have made my fair share of mistake. As I reflect on my past, I wish to learn from the mistakes I have made. I want to continue to move forward and stop looking back wondering what if. I want to continue to grow as a person, and as I make a mistake learn from them, instead of repeating the same things. This is the time of my life. I don't have responsibilities. My roots are not planted, and I continue to fly with my wings. I am excited to turn 25 and finally feel like a grown up!!!

A Nice Race Treat!!!

So Friday when I got to work my boss had three extra tickets to Saturday's Indy race at Nashville Speedway. See Target has an Indy team too and a box at the track. While we don't get to sit in the box, that's for the CEO, we do get some very nice high up seats. It was a great treat. Me along with two of my peers went to the race Saturday night. We got off work on Saturday and headed to the track, minus the red and khaki. LOL!!! Of course we cheered on Target's two drivers. It was a fun night that was cut short due to a thunderstorm. We were so far away that my pics didn't turn out to good!

Sun, Sand, and Many Drinks in My Hands!!!

I'm back from my little vacation!!! I left this past Saturday to visit Candace. Yes, I drove eight and a half hours by myself. To top it all off I even got my very first speeding ticket in Columbia, SC. The poor girls lives five minutes away from the beach. So needless to say I had some sun, sand, and several drinks for the past three days. I had the greatest time hanging out with her and getting to see her new life. She moved to South Carolina all by herself. She doesn't know anyone out there, so the goal for my little get away was to go out and meet new people. We spent our days at the beach and the malls. Our nights we spent out on the town. We found this great little martini bar. It was so much fun. They had every kind of martini you could imagine. I myself love apple martini's, so when I heard they had a GREAT caramel apple martini I just had to try it. It tasted just like a caramel apple. Thanks Candace for letting me get away from my life, so that I could enjoy your new life. You can tell from her tan she's at the beach a lot!!! Be low are some pics from my trip






For picture purposes.

The biggest chess set ever!

Out on the town!

Busy, Busy, Busy

It's been a bit since I last posted. I have had a busy June. The store has been exceeding sales all month, which is great news. We have started planning on getting out of summer and into back to school/college. So work is really getting crazy. It's just so much to keep up with.
I found out today that my new assignment will be the Hermitage store. I will report there on July 14. This will be my third store this year and the third time I have had to start over with my team. Needless to say I have the butterfly's again.
On top of all of this I may have to move at the end of July, which will be falling in with no tax weekend. This will be an interesting transition, if it has to happen. After no tax, than I have to plan for the back to school dates for my county. It will take me a month just to unpack the four boxes it will take to move me!!! LOL!! I plan on taking a week off after back to school, since after that we will be going into Halloween. Than right after that it's Christmas. AAAAHHHHH!!! Can't believe I just talked about Christmas.
I will be leaving early Saturday morning to visit Candace. She moved to the beach and I can't wait to see her new place. I really need to get away from the boro and work. Everyone needs to take a break from life and I am running into mine. She went to the liquor store today and bought three bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka. I promise we will be drinking this over a three to four day period. I almost died when she text me with this news. I promise to take lots of pictures and will post when I get back. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!
