Good morning!
I'm taking Christian back to Raleigh this morning so that he can play his sousaphone in the State pep band at the game tonight.
(I'll be the mom who is cheering wildly for both teams (at home in front of my TV)!)

Good morning. Last night's loss to State was pathetic. Grayson was invisible to the point I suspect he was sick with the flu or something.

I’m not happy this morning. The game made me grumpy.

Good morning. Not a happy camper. We lost and I won absolutely nothing in the Power Ball drawing last night.

Good morning!
KARMA is a b*tch, and she shows up in the most interesting ways. Last night's loss to the Wuffies, and last year's loss to the Wuffies happened because my Dean's-List-in-Materials-Engineering-at-NCSU-kid was denied admission to Duke.
I cheered for both teams last night--it's exhausting, really! As long as my money and my kid go to NCSU, I am happy for State to beat Duke.
So there!

Definitely not a good morning. All week the forecast was freezing rain this morning. News this am reported 37 degrees and road surfaces were above freezing so no problems. Unfortunately, the brick patio in front of my sister's house didn't get that information and my brother- in-law's hip paid the price. He will be having a rod and bolts put in later this week. Prayers for his surgery and recovery would be greatly appreciated.
Life is good!

Good morning. It is 10 degrees but temps are expected to head into the 40s this afternoon. Hopefully this snow starts melting. I'm picking Flora up at the airport this morning. She spent the past three weeks in the Philippines and is coming home to freezing temps and snow all over the ground.

Good morning. It is 39 degrees this morning so snow is going to start melting today. Main roads have been clear for a couple days but it is still a challenge getting out of the neighborhood.

The courthouse is opening at 10. I have a dentist appointment at 10:30.
The office will see me when it sees me. Harrumph, nonetheless.
Quite a game last night.

Good morning. Brother-in-law's surgery for his broken hip will be this afternoon - any prayers and vibes available are appreciated.

Well it's not morning here but close enough! Have been MIA with a houseful of kids, grands and dogs - tons of fun, lots of noise, and much craziness. I think we are back to just the two of us - at least I haven't discovered a still sleeping teenager anywhere! Here's to a new start to Duke BB SOON!
