Happy Friday AND Happy Veteran's Day!!!!!

Wow...one week back at work already.  It is getting A LOT easier everyday---thank goodness.   HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY to all active and retired military!!  Thank you to all my military friends and family---Josiah Barker (active), David Allison Jr. (active), David Allison (retired), Jim Allison (retired), Derl Cordell (retired) Bryan Woods (active), Keith Alpuente (disabled)---I know there are SO many more!!!  I was able to see first hand how some of our military bases functioned while living in Virginia for 12 years.  I made many dear friends---and at times I didn't know them very long--because they were always being transferred.  What a hard life that must be....for the military AND their families!!!!  SO....thank you for all you do and sacrifice to keep me and my family safe and for fighting for our FREEDOM!!!!   My Papaw, Derl Cordell  My poor daughter, Alyson, has had a "place" on her leg for 5 days.  It started off VERY small, and of course being a Mom/Nurse I "doctored" it myself.  Yesterday when she woke up it looked HORRIBLE.  No amount of motherly love and Neosporin was gonna help.  So off to see Dr. Ukwe  (we LOVE Dr. Ukwe)  Diagnosis---spider bite...ugghh!!  SO he "doctored" it (while Alyson cut off all circulation in my hand) and now she is on antibiotics...and needless to say---I bought spider spray just to be on the safe side.Sorry...I have to post a pic (memories and all).....and I'm a nurse, so grossness doesn't bother me :0) Last night was the ZAC BROWN BAND concert!!!  I took Alyson, Peyton, Cooper, and Alyson's friend Logan.  It was AWESOME.  The opening bands left a little to be desired, but once ZBB hit the stage...the kids were singing and dancing.  Could not get too many good pics, but have some great memories in my head :) We got home at MIDNIGHT...so we are all kind of dragging today :(  But they were troopers and we got dressed and headed to work and school---except for Coop, but he had to keep his Shoney's appointment!!  (he goes to Shoney's to eat breakfast every Friday with Mamaw, Papaw, Ms. Joyce, and Mr.Jerry---lucky little boy)   THIS morning it was quite chilly here, so I told Cooper to get a hat on....he gets his knitted cap Grandmommy made him and says "I'm gonna wear my Zac Brown hat"  CUTENESS!!!! Well---I'm sure everyone is as ready for the weekend as I am!!!  I plan on cleaning out closets and doing laundry---but I'm sure we'll find time to throw in a few "fun moments" Til next time.....Laura
