absence.....

It seems just when I think I will be able to have more online time our schedule fills up and over once again. I do have an update concerning Ty and his football team, he has been moved to A Team defense (first string) since my last post. I also made mention in my last post about not being able to see out of my contacts and thinking that my doctor prescribed the wrong prescription...the prescription wasn't wrong however, they weren't the toric lenses either and since I have astigmatism I really need the toric lense. I also have severe dry eye and the brand of contact that I wear, Acuvue, didn't have a lense for sever dry eye and astigmatism until last month. I now have a trial pair of the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and I am loving them because I can see again and my eyes aren't irritated by the lense. Tuesday morning we found out that our dental insurance is going to cover Bethany's braces 100%...yay! We feel extremely blessed by this decision because a lot of insurance companies will pay only a small percentage which leaves you paying the rest of the bill and an expensive bill it is.

Gas prices have went way down from where they were when Ike hit, they went from $4.99 a gallon to $3.34 a gallon for regular unleaded. Now if they will continue to drop more because even though it is cheaper, $3.34 is still too high if you ask me.

I really don't have anything more to post about but felt that I should at least post something. I do want you all to know that I am not trying to ignore any of you, we are dealing with a very scary, frustrating situation concerning our 16yr old daughter. I do not feel that right now would be the best time to elaborate on such a public forum. I will say that my daughter has done nothing wrong and is in no trouble.

If any of you have any pointers,shortcuts..etc... on searching for a persons background information (especially criminal records) without having to pay for it please let me know, if it comes to the point that I have to pay for the records then I will but I don't want to if I don't have to. I am starting at the library then moving forward because I have tried the internet and so far I am coming up with the pay x amount for these records. The reason I do not want to pay for the records at this time is because I do know the middle name of the person I am searching for. If you have advice you can contact me at eazybreazy@gmail.com.

Y'all have a great Thursday!

why East Tennessee/ Saturday morning football game

Before I talk about my sons game on Saturday I am going to climb on my little soap box for a minute and talk about gas prices. Did you all know that East Tennessee had higher gas prices than anyone since before Hurricane Ike hit? Here is just a small mention from people who drive a lot to make their living. The only thing I have to say about the article is that the reason our stations ran out of gas was because of the high demand Thursday night through Saturday. I was lucky because a friend of a friend of a friend who works in the oil industry put a bug in my ear before prices started climbing early Thursday, my friend called me about two hours before the pipes were shut off in preparation for Ike's landfall. Until then I hadn't even been concerned about gas prices, my focus was on all of those who were leaving their homes that might not be there after Ike was gone and those that chose to ignore the evacuation and stay. Here is another article issued from the same local news station gas prices being highest here. The one thing I will say regarding that article is that Knoxville isn't the only place where the prices are high like that. I live in the county directly South of Knox County (Knoxville) and our prices are that high as well. Now I am stepping off my soap box and moving on to football...










































Ty had a game on Saturday for B Team only which he is on since he has never played before. It is a great opportunity for those B Team guys to show what they've got on the field and that is exactly what my son did.

Picture 1. The coaches are pep talking the guys before game time.
Picture 2. The are getting ready to run through the banner that the cheeleaders made.
Picture 3. The run through the banner. I love it when they are getting ready to run and when they do run through the banner because they are all so pumped up and shouting EAGLES, EAGLES, EAGLES in unison.
Picture 4. Here they are on the line getting ready to play ball. My son is #48, second man from the right in the green jersey. My son made the first tackle of the game, he also played several positions during the game even running back. I had my contacts in and I didn't get to see him running the ball but his dad and his coach were so excited about it because he done so well. Coach J told me when Ty had the ball he was twisting, dodging, blocking, and turning like a pro. He joked with Ty telling him that they were going to start calling him Fancy Feet because of the way he had his feet going when the ball was in his hands. He didn't just break through the crowd but he was out running them by a good distance and headed for the endzone, less than five yards away from it the referee blew the whistle. The ref was actually being a smart aleck by blowing the whistle to early because our coach had mentioned something to him Monday night, when we played the same team, about blowing the whistle to late. All of the guys done a great job Saturday, not just my son..it was a great team effort however in the end the opposing team took the victory with one point more than our team. You couldn't tell that the other team had won by looking at our guys because they along with the coaches and parents were very happy with their playing in the game and if you ask me then that is all that matters, not the win. Just so you know, when I mentioned I had my contacts in and couldn't see the reason is because I am almost 100% sure that my eye dr. prescribed my contacts wrong because I have not been able to see out of them since getting them. I haven't been able to wear them constantly either because of hay fever and all that.

Since Friday was Ty's 11th birthday we had a small gathering here at home Sunday after church with family only to celebrate with cake and ice cream.
Picture 5 & 6 are of the cake. I was very upset over that cake because I had ordered it over a week in advance but when I went Saturday afternoon to pick it up it had not even been started. Somehow it had been over looked in the orders so I told the lady (very nicely) not to freak out because he wasn't having a party that day but I did need her to go ahead and do it because we were having a small paryt the next day. I picked the cake up Sat. night about 8:45 and it was not right but the bakery had closed so we couldn't take it back. This is the first time I have ever had problems with this bakery, all the other times I have ordered from them I have been so pleased but not this time. The only thing they did get right about the cake were the colors but oh well it is over with now.

Oh yeah....picture 6 also shows my new antique table and china cabinet. We have not had time to go look for raw wood chairs so you will have to excuse the metal chair sitting there.

Y'all have a great day!

Ty's day...

Today is a special day around the Breazy house, it is Ty's 11th birthday! He is my youngest and I am not believing that this day is here. Each year I am shocked because it seems the years keep getting shorter and shorter. Not only does it seem the years are getting shorter but it seems when compared to Ty so am I. He is already wearing the same size shoe as me. I am destined to be the shortest in our family of five. Ty always tells me not to worry about being short because he will always take care of me, isn't he sweet!

This pic is of Ty (#48) and his team getting ready to kick-off. I am glad I snapped this when I did because on this play Ty made the tackle.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Ty, I love you!

this, that and a meme

It has been over a week since I have posted so here I am. I was going to try to post some pics of the antiques I recently bought but I haven't even had time to do that. Between school functions, Girl Scouts, Football four nights a week and sometimes on Saturdays, church, and a few other activities/functions we rarely have extra time for anything these days. Tuesday evening I had Mr. B to finish up supper (all he had to do was stir then turn the heat off) because I went to visit my mom and sister. They had to have their dog Beethoven, a standard Schnauzer, put to sleep so they were sad. They have owned Beethoven for almost 16yrs so it was like losing a family member. He looked just like the picture except he was silver and white with no black at all. R.I.P. Beethoven.

Yesterday I had to pick up some dish liquid, the only brand I have ever liked using is Dawn. I normally use the Antibacterial but I noticed a new Dawn on the shelf. It is called Hand Renewal and it is supposed to keep your hands from drying out after washing dishes so I bought a small bottle of the pink (Pomegranate and Splash) to try it because I hate dish pan hands. Yes I have an awesome dishwasher but I never put my pots in there because they are brushed stainless steel and they will lose their luster after a small number of times in the dishwasher. Speaking of dishwashers, here is what I use and I do recommend it. After supper I washed my pots and I could tell a difference in my hands, they weren't as dry and my pots still came out squeaky clean. If you are a buyer of Dawn then I highly suggest this new line.

Now since I really have nothing else to blog about I thought I would do a fun meme that I saw on Peachz blog. I wasn't tagged so I am not tagging anyone however if you want to do it I would like for you to let me know so that I could check it out when you are done.

Finish the sentence Meme......
Rules: finish the first half of the sentence which is in red with a true statement about your life.

1. My Uncle once...picked me up by the belt loops on my jeans and swung me around my grandmothers kitchen.

2. Never in my life have I...been like normal people....heehee.

3. When I was five my parents...found out that I have a weird love for automobiles. My brother learned of my new love too when he tried to play with one of my hot wheels cars without asking me..to make a long story short- he bled and I had a sore bum and that is all I am going to say about that because it is a painful memory..heehee.

4. High School was...the second school I attended in my life because I attended K-8 in the same school, times sure have changed since then because we have elementary, middle and ninth grade academy schools now.

5. I will never forget to...thank God for all He has blessed me with.

6. Once I met...Shawn, better known as Mr. B, I felt like I had found the half of me that I didn't know was missing.

7. There's this boy I know...who is very good at football even though he has never played before this year...go Ty!

8. Once, at a bar,....I felt very out of place since I have never been a drinker but I was the only one who would volunteer to be designated driver for the soon-to-be brides party. Her favorite local band was playing at the bar so she wouldn't go anywhere else. I haven't stepped foot in a bar since that night 15 years ago and I don't plan on it either.

9. By noon...yesterday I was already worn out because I had cleaned like a woman gone mad.

10. Last night I...went to church then came home and got online.

11. If only I had...went to bed instead of playing online I might not be yawning now.

12. Next time I go to church...my son will be 11. Tomorrow is his birthday.

13. What worries me most is...our choice of candidates running for President.

14. When I turn my head left...I see the office door which lead in through the front foyer.

15. When I turn my head right...I see the office window.

16. You know when I am lying when...just trust me you will know if you are looking at me because my face is like an open book or so everyone tells me. I can't lie anyway because I would have a guilty conscience.

17. What I miss most about the Eighties...is that you could have a bad hair day and nobody knew because they thought you were just trying out your very own style.

18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I'd be...hmmm..why don't you chose which you think I would be.

19. By this time next year I will...no longer have a child in elementary school..yikes they are growing up!

20. A better name for me would be...Mrs. Clean.

21. I have a hard time understanding...what is so hard about picking up after yourself or putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

22. If I ever go back to school...I will either go into Forensics, Medical Transcriptionist, or Meteorologist (I love knowing what the weather is doing/going to do).

23. You know I like you if I...keep coming around.

24. If I ever won an award, the first person I would thank would be...God for enabling me to do whatever I done to deserve the award in the first place.

25. Take my advice, never...just tell someone you love them, show them.

Before I go I want to mention that today is the 7th anniversary of the terrorist attack on our country. Remember to pray for those families that lost loved ones and for those that worked rescue/recovery who had to see the tragedy up close and personal.

Y'all have a beautiful day!
God bless you!

productive holiday....

Good morning all! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday yesterday.We had a very productive day yesterday, all weekend actually.

I am the type of person who isn't all about the fashion or having the best, most expensive decor in my home. I am picky when it comes to certain things that go in my home and a dinning set is one of those things. The reason for this is because my family and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and dinning area of our home. Mr. B and I have always been real big on everybody gathering at the table for meals and that is partly why the furniture in there is important to me. Friday I stopped by a yard sale that was being held by some friends of ours that attend our church. After going to church with this family I never knew that they collected antique furniture. I bought a dinning table, buffet, and china cabinet from them and oh my my these pieces have been taken care of because they look new. There were three chairs that came with it but I told her to keep them for the other antique table that she has for sale, we need six chairs and I am not willing to mix match. Mr. B is on the look for chairs in raw wood, he wants to stain and finish them himself.

Yesterday was a day for getting those things done that are on our "one day when we have time" list. We accomplished much throughout the day, I got all of my house work done yesterday so today I am free to do what I want to do.

I was disappointed with the Tennessee/UCLA game last night, the referee's made some bad calls that really cost us, I am just glad that we didn't lose by major points.

Well, I guess I will go now and surf the net for a bit. Y'all have a great day!
