Okay so it really is not a new building, but it will be to our campus and us. The elementary got a NEW building and we get there old building, but we aint calling it the old elementary, IT THE NEW INTERMEDIATE. And we are all Soooo excited about it. I get to share the open office with another secretary and it will be totally remodeled, hopefully to our specs. Karen and I worked on the plans today and came up with a Welcoming, Feel Good enviroment for all that come to our NEW School.. We have a theme also, that I am so proud of and that is School Pride.
Our principal is really into our need for a good working enviroment and has gone to bat for all of us several times. He listens, considers, suggest and adds to what we have to save. He is a great boss.
Enough about my work space and me me me!
My wonderful sister will be ytxis owt her birtday or is it spelled owt ytxis, I know it got to be painful and I wish I could see her on her ## birthday, I would make her a devils food cake with seven minute icing.......and give her a big bouquet of forget me nots...(she knows)
I love Nettie, don't know who I would be without you! Translation: It's all your fault! !!!LOL!!! hehehehhahahaha. Or in the infamous words of our Granny Jennie, I think alot about you, kid.
I really didn't start this to compare you to Granny, but did you ever think about this. When she was your age (ytxis owt) she had a grand daughter (you) that was 22.......Your oldest grand daughter is how old???? 4.....This means, well you know....
Someone might need to ck my math.....JOHNNY!!!! Aint this right???
I think now that I have pissed my sister off, I will go visit my husband at the man cave.
Good nite to all and to all a good nite....love nen

Long Week
When Kent got off vacation he went back to work only to find out he would be working 7days a week 12 hour days. Did his company not do anything while he was gone? Sunday morning by yourself is not good. Made our bed, fixed my breakfast, cleaned house yesterday, so there is not much to do today. AND I get to do it all by myself. I could go get a grand kid or 3 but I think they need to spend quality time together.
I watched The Rains team (white or black) play basketball yesterday afternoon. They were the black team. There are 7 players including Kharley. Scott and Jamie the coaches and then all the parent and grandparent bleacher coaches. I know they love us all!
I think Jamie ask me to keep the books so I would shut up. It worked, I was told the clock/book keepers could NOT cheer for either team on the court.....GRRRR!! But I really like keeping the books for her little team, I hope she keeps asking me. Our little team played really good and continue to improve. We lost both games, but it was not a blow out. 21-18 then 22-23.....so not bad at all. Looking forward to next Saturday.
Well I think I will go dust the vaccum or find a book to read. Hope all have a great week!
OH!!! I might watch the playoffs for the superbowl!!!
Good day to all and to all a Good DAY!! Love Nen

Ode to the doorknob!
This is a true story, no name are changed cause it don't matter..and innocence is for the innocent....
This morning at 415 like every morning for the past 35 years Kent gives me a kiss and leaves the house, HI HO HI HO it's off to work he goes....Then at 530 or so I roll out to start my day. BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Imagine my surprise when I step out of the bed reaching for the bathroom door and it slapped me in the face because the damn thing is locked! It rattled me pretty good cause I'm still half asleep and so I holler out... Kent! you still here??!! No answer, I go look outside, the truck's gone so I go back to the door and try it again, its still locked.............thnking thinking thinking...........
I have another bathroom, so no worries, I just go in there and shower and get ready..........just wondering how that door got locked or why would he do that, it wasn't funny and then I thought....Well damn, my closet with the "good clothes" are in that locked bathroom...hummmmmmmm....Okay I have other clothes, this will not defeat me and I go to the dresser and pull out some sweat pants and t shirt still thinking it won't be that bad ....okay I can do this..........no makeup no curling iron but my body is clean and I have on clean clothes, I can make this work........Then I go for my shoes........ I have no shoes in my dresser....................it's 28degrees outside you can't put on enough socks for that to work............
Just last nite I had like 5 pair of shoes laying everywhere all over the house, so I gathered them all up and put them away, even some of Kents of work boots and tenny shoes, all put up in there place, (in that locked up closet) .......house is in order, a good feeling...(that was last night) So a sense of urgency has now hit me. I really need to get into that bathroom. I have this problem with lights being on and doors open, and I knew that was the case behind that locked door...not just the need for clothing and shoes but that door was open and the light was on..GRRR!!! The need for order in my house was getting overwhelming now!
So I think..... Okay I"ll get the hammer, screwdrivers and a nail (it just sounded like I needed one) I have seen Kent do this I can do this....so I start banging on the doorknob......(dumbass,,, it's glass,,,, what did you think would happen) So I go get the vaccum clean that up, then stand back as assess the situation........get that screw driver and jam it in that hole and pop that cover thingy off.............(sounded like a good plan)...screw driver snaps into, I hit my hand on the door....... I am really getting pissed now.......The only thing left was that nail. And I thought save you some trouble and jam it in your eye and go the ER....but I didn't........I got me another cup of coffee and I call my Mr. Fixit neighbor, Stack, to come help me out. Tutz tells me he has already gone to work, sorry. So I get another cup of coffe and just start thinking, call work and explain this (yeah right, like they are gonna believe this one) then it hits ME.... (I need shoes, need that door closed so the light will go off....) get a paper sack and breath into it. It will be okay!! He did this on purpose it aint funny and he knows it!!! calm, think calm thoughts find your happy place nen....okay I am better......
I go my Face book place and simply post it and I am amazed how early and fast people respond to the dumbest shit......Cause that's what this day had started out like....A DUMB SHITTY DAY!!! about that time Janie calls me and says MOM what have you done, well really I didn't do anything, this was all Kent's fault (innocently enough it was his fault) so I explained I was being held hostage by my shoes (as my sister says) so Janie is on her way to show me how to unlock my door (really?)
Guess what? she can't unlock the door either, we visit for a little while, she goes back to work, I swear she was laughing but can't prove it, as she drives off, then I get another suggestion from facebook, this time from her co-worker, she will send her husband over and HE WILL UNLOCK THE DOOR........he gets here pretty quick, thank you Dougy, I be dang guess what he does, grabs a screw driver and pokes it in that hole and ask me what happened to your door knob...I say don't ask, just open the door. Screw driver trick won't work so He uses the 'Ole Credit Card Trick" and viola!!! Access to shoes!!!!!!
I had seen that done before but it never entered into my simple mind it would be that easy to do that. I guess I thought it only would work in covert operations or something criminal...not just because the bathroom door was locked.
So that ladies and gentlemen (if any) is a true story of another day in the life of Nen!
Everyone else keep your finger crossed I don't get locked inside my house tomorrow =)

Another Wednesday(thank you Lord)
In case you have not heard I now have High(er) speed Internet. HughesNet...love it! It was my Christmas present from Kent..love that guy! So maybe I will be more active on the Blog scene. I am really glad I am able to get to write another blog, and I thank the Lord for that. There is a lot of sickness already this month. My 2 grandsons, my sister and a good friends dad..Wish they could all be better by the weekend. My granddaughter plays her first basketball game this Saturday in Quitman (1-8-11) She should be the star of the show of course. A little clumsy maybe, can't dribble, can't make a shot and forgets to keep her eye on the ball, but other than that she is a star!
Kent has been on vacation this week. So far we have gone to the show, It was a good show, westerns are not really my favorite, but the company was great. The next day he had supper started when I got home. The next day he kept Kentlee for a little while, and then spent the rest of the day with his Dad. He has a Dr. appt tomorrow, so maybe Friday he can lay on the couch all day and meditate (sleep) He deserves it.
Guess what?? I have been invited to go to the BAHAMAS again!! It was so much fun and was Beautiful...
you think they natives will recognize me in the same bathing suit?? It was only wore that one time, hate to buy another one. I could become accustom to such luxuries.....Ha Ha and LOL!!!
The new Elementary opened up with the new Year. It is the crown of the County. Our campus will be moving in the old Elem. the next school year. 2011-2012...it will be known as the New Intermediate, can't let them PreK thru 2nd graders have the only new building!! It will be nice to have more room with a decent gym area for our 3rd 4th and 5th grade.
Been working some back in Payroll helping with Month End, Quarterly, Year End and W-2...I love working with numbers, and didn't realize it until I was out of it for 6 months. Guess it's like finding your favorite pair of shoes. It just feels good.
Fixing to be off again, for Martin Luther King day Jan. 17, weird looking forward to another day off after having 2 weeks off, but I am!
Gonna see if the peanut butter is still good and have supper, Kent is at the Man Cave with da boyz!
Good nite to all and to all a Good nite. Nen!

The day after!
The fun just keeps happening. Today I was invited to Winnsboro for another party. Carla told me to bring a White Elephant gift. Well when I think "white elephant" I think anything you don't want now is the time to get rid of it. Well I have now found out "white Elephant" does not mean the same to all people. Needless to say my tiny white commode with sound effects did not go over real well. Colby I hope you remembered to take it home. This will drive Chelsey nuts!
We played Bingo..can't even write the word without thinking of Momma. Ishould save a bingo card from every game I play in her honor. When we cleaned her house out there in the favorite spot was a bingo card, I can hear her saying " I needed O76 for a win" She saved the card! Why? Oh well that is what made her so special.
Plans tomorrow you ask? Going shopping with my girls. Janie and Kharley. Going back to Tyler to exchange the clothes Kharley got. From Dec 1 to now she grew 6 inches in height. She will have to wear skirts with leggin's. We will not be able to find jeans long enough for her. She is built just like her daddy. All legs and arms.
Kent has gone pheasant hunting and has already called me twice. Once to say they weren't there yet and the other to say !We Made It! A man of few words. I hope he bags his limit, whatever it is.
Okay I am just gonna ramble for a while.
Beginning with Thanksgiving my sister comes up and we start decoration extravaganza!! My sister comes up and the tree is usually up by Sunday after T-giving. Some of the decor is up but not all. The beginning of December we have the McKenzie Christmas. This is all of Kent's Momma's side of the family. It is so much fun. We have it every year the first weekend in Dec. Tradition..love it. Then this year, my sister came back because the next weekend was the tour of homes. Nettie and I finished the home decor and we had more people than you could shake a stick at in and out of our home on that second Sunday in December. Then it was the Christmas party from the school. We went to my bosses house and had more fun. I have done very little shopping at this point and the mad dash to Tyler is on. The first week school is out, I have tons of shopping to do. Didn't think I could do it this year, but guess what............I did it! Christmas Eve is spent with Kent's dad Jack and his brother Tony and his family. We have had Pizza for several years, it is super easy and all the kids love it. Then Santa Comes on Christmas morning we go up to see what that old bogger has left for them grandkids. The joy of getting to see them when they discover all the loot he left is priceless. Janie, Jeff and the kids come on down after that and we have breakfast. Then open more gifts. You would think it was over, then you get a call from your brother and invites you to come and play canasta with his family or your best friend, that happens to be a sister to your sister in law and another invitation and more presents.....Just getting to be with family when you think you have no family left is the best gift of all. I am so fortunate and blessed to have gotten to speak to all of my brothers and sisters during this time of year.
Oh by the way in case there is one human out there that has not heard. My Christmas present this year was NO MORE DIAL UP INTERNET ACCESS.. I think this comparable to the first time my grandparents got off a party line...Sweet!!!
Well I am not as industrious as my friend Carla, as my floors are NOT swept or mopped and I have a sink full of dishes, but I have updated my blog. So Yeah for me!
As this year closes, I hope to all that keep up with the Happy Hayes House, you have had a good year and my wish to all is a better year to come.
Good nite to all and to all a Good nite. C-ya! Nen

Eve of Christmas Eve
I have the boys today, Kentlee and Kyle. Kharley is at her dad's but will be home for Christmas eve and Christmas morning. It looks like Christmas day for us will be slow. Janie and the boys will be off to Jeff's family, and then Kent leaves early the next day on "The Hunt" with the boyz of the cave.
Janie called me a few minutes ago and ask what I was doing I told her I was on Facebook, she said where is the boyz. I said what boyz.....MOM!!!!!I truly did not have a clue where Kyle was, I had to go looking. He was in his favorite spot. The toy closet. Happy as could be, Kenny was coloring a solid white sheet of paper black. Only color he could find. I did find him a coloring book and a 64 count box of crayons. He chose the black one....to color with. It is all about choices! No one needs that many crayons, I suppose.
What do you get your sister for Christmas????? Why overalls of course! She called and said she loved them. When she was down during the tour we went to Tractor Supply and she found a pair that would almost fit Kent and then wore them the rest of the time she was here. The overalls were so big the crotch hung way below her knees, this is NOT the way you wear overalls. So Kent said try and find her a pair that fits. So I did. and she loves them!! Simple things with no thought is the best gifts of all.
For some reason this Christmas has gotten here in such a hurry. From Thanksgiving to now it has flew by. For me at least, not Kenny. The presents under the tree for him is pure torture. That is all he talks about when he is here. Are all those mine Nen?? Yep Kenny that pile is all yours. Whose are them then, will they let me open them? NO Kenny the rest are not yours. But will they let me open them? NO Kenny you can't open them, they belong to everybody else. But will they let me open them? NO Kenny YOU Cant open those presents....You can open your pile of presents only, but when I finish can I open those presents? NO KENNY YOU CAN NOT OPEN ANYBODY ELSES PRESENTS!!! Only open yours, But Nen can I open your presents, Yes Kenny you can open my presents. I love them kids......
Gotta go color with a red crayon, show Kenny there is choices in life!! Love to all. Nen

I am not sick!
If I say it enough, click my heels together 3 times and promise I will never eat liver again, I will feel better right? (I don't really like liver, so I may have blew it huh?)
I like to feel good all the time, especially during the holidays...I remember one time I got the chicken pox at Christmas it was the 3rd year Kent and I was married and we were living on the Weiss place in Point. The same year the big ice storm hit. Anybody remember that I had the chicken POX....no that damn storm was all anybody would talk about. Chicken Pox and now Bronchitis, 30 something years later....is this a pattern? I wonder if another storm is coming? So that means NO ONE will remember I have Bronchitis the Christmas of 2010...
The tour of homes will be here before I know it. Jeannette is coming back up and helping Kent out with a few more lights and balls. Kent sometimes wishes Netter would stay out of his balls business. She was going to bring Cross but when I told her I had been to the Dr. she changed her mind. I really think she is the one that brought this down here at Thanksgiving because as I remember it she was coughing and hacking and looking for relief most of the time she was here. She got better so maybe it won't take as long as the ice storm did.
Got my new Washer and Dryer today!! WooHoo!! It is gonna take a little getting used to. The washer has lots more bells and whistles on it than my wash board did. And the dryer has more lines on it than my old one...LOL!!!
Can you imagine 60+ years ago when you said it was laundry day it was truly a JOB. Granny Jennie had a wonderful story about wash day. Her and her sister Aunt Dellar was in charge of laundry and Granny did not want to wash that day, so after Aunt Dellar got all of the wash pots full of water and heated up to boiling, got some clothes washed and hung out, Granny kicked the pots over and threw down the clothes she had on the line. Granny said Aunt Dellar should have killed her for doing that, and that is the only time I ever heard my Granny have a regret.
Well I am going to lay down on the couch, take advantage of having it all to myself, as Kent is at the Shed with the other Deacons, (yeah right) and I can watch what I want to. And No it aint gonna be Swamp People, bunch of inbred idiots with guns and boats......and white milk boots...really????
Good nite to all and to all a good nite. Love, Nen

Can you imagine 60+ years ago when you said it was laundry day it was truly a JOB. Granny Jennie had a wonderful story about wash day. Her and her sister Aunt Dellar was in charge of laundry and Granny did not want to wash that day, so after Aunt Dellar got all of the wash pots full of water and heated up to boiling, got some clothes washed and hung out, Granny kicked the pots over and threw down the clothes she had on the line. Granny said Aunt Dellar should have killed her for doing that, and that is the only time I ever heard my Granny have a regret.
Well I am going to lay down on the couch, take advantage of having it all to myself, as Kent is at the Shed with the other Deacons, (yeah right) and I can watch what I want to. And No it aint gonna be Swamp People, bunch of inbred idiots with guns and boats......and white milk boots...really????
Good nite to all and to all a good nite. Love, Nen
