I was about to say what are you doing up huh of you go lady and take Niki with you xx

Bye Starby! I'm well, at home, it's just driving me crazy!! Will tell you later.

Sorry to hear that you guys have it gloomy. We have sunshine AGAIN, (I know) but I would give anything for some rain. My grass is dying and my watering bill will be over $400.00 AGAIN!

We aren't actually getting that much rain its just really rotton out there and autum is fast setting in totally depressing to be honest I don't much like hot weather but we all need the sun to keep us smiling.

We finally got some rain yesterday. The remnants of Tropical Storm Fay. Dark and dreary today, but I'm loving it. Got food simmering in the crock pot, curled up with a book (finally not a textbook), and just enjoying the quiet. Back to work tomorrow after 6 days off.

Enjoy your last day off J9. It's gloomy here too, but no rain yet. Sad, usually it's nicer this time of year, but we've had allot of cool gloomy days lately.

The kids go back to school in a week, so I have some back to school shopping to do asap. Yup, I love leaving things until the last minute. Arrrrr! ;)

Today is Sydney's birthday, my little girl is 6 years old. Sigh, were did the time go. :(

Good for you J, I am happy for you;)
What book? I just got done with Scarlet Woman... (I can't believe I JUST read it)

I'm reading Nora Roberts Northern Lights. Got the house all clean, nothing else to do. Kids have been at school since Aug 7. This is my rare one week a month off. LOL

Lucky!:):)

I don't really care for it though. It is so easy to get used to, then back to work for 36 hours in a 72 hour period. Makes for one tired woman.

J9, I love Nora Roberts, absolutely adore her. :)

Just enjoy your last day off, relax, drink coffee, enjoy yourself, tomorrow will come soon enough. ;)

I guess it is like being tease a bit...
I take my Saturday and Sundays very seriously now. I am not used to working all the time, trying to keep up on housework, and trying to give the kids the attention they need without a frown. It is definitely hard to juggle everything. I can see why I had it so good... and didn't even really know it. I should just have another baby, that way I can stay home and all the kids will be fine... JUST KIDDING!

Another baby? Wow Starty. You already have twice as many as I do, I don't know how you do it. Another baby, hmmmm, all I can say is, better you than me. ;)

I said JUST KIDDING...
You know there are just those time where I feel the need...

It's just that, this is really where I belong, I love being a mom, and everything that comes with it. Now that time is limited, I don't feel as good at it as I used to... :( I suppose there is the truth... I didn't know it till I just wrote it. Damn it anyway...

Aw, Starty, chin up, don't feel blue, feel pink instead. ;)

Do you need some cheering up again?

Better? :D

Did you just say PINK??
How did you know I loved PINK??
I am OK, just taking a look at what is happening here in my life... ;)

Starty, if there's one thing I've learned in my life, and a word of wisdom, because I am so much older than you. ;)

Never dwell to long on the bad, deal with it and then put it away. Always look forward, never look back, one step at a time will get you there, even if you fall back once in a while.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep walking. Remember, when that road seems to be all uphill, that's when you ask your friends to walk beside you, hold you up, and get you over that hill. Okay?

PINK RULES!!!

PINK RULES!

Yes ma'am... ;)
I bought a journal the other day, I figured I should write in it, I just don't know where to put it so no one gets it...

Under the mattress Starty, you always hide a journal under the mattress. ;)

PINK!!!!!!

Eeek, puter is angry, must do a virus scan, it's not working properly. Something is wrong with my keyboard too, some letter are sticking.:(

I'll be back later all, I have to take care of this. :(

That is why I will never hind anything under my matress! LOL

Hey Starty and Alty...

PINK!! That is the color of happiness!

LOL, no you are not. I suppose I should have said ONE OF MY FAVE FRIENDS... you silly

Silly, yup, that's for sure. ;)

Hi Tuscany! :)

When I was 18, I never thought I would be thinking about the things I think of now!
I want to go back, make some changes and then head out again... LOL
Yup, Starty's dreamworld coming right up!

Dreams are good, going for you dreams is even better. Never stop dreaming, it's what keeps us going. :)

PINK!!!!!

Dreaming keeps us sane... I swear it does.

Hi Stringer... hope things are well.

Love you too Starty.

All better Alty?

Tus, how are you is more like it? I haven't gotten to tlak to you enough... you see what has happened to me while you were gone?
School on now? YOu back online? LOL

I'm alive and kicking Tuscany, alive and kicking. :)

How about you?

How's that adorable pup?

Sitting on my lap as we speak. He is having a hard time adjusting to me going back to school. He is awfully clingy right now.

I can't believe that summer is over.

Aw, poor pup. He'll be fine. :)

I have to go make a special lunch for the birthday girl. Back later kids. Be good. :)

I know... next week it will be school and full time work for me... awww darn it!

Life would be great if we did not have to work

I love working, I just wish I could "fit" it ALL in!

I love my students, but I love being home too. The clean house, nice dinners, time to exercise. Its nice

Yes, it is. How are all the kids? They all back or no?

Not yet, just paperwork for now. I can't wait to see them though, school is so quiet. Have you been school shopping yet.

Yes, got most of it done. Had to do it in spurts, I have four of them going in now...
Jett started flag football. He is the youngest on the team, not sure how that is going to work. He is just too tall and too strong for his age group.
Grady isn't playing this year, he broke his arm... this was his big chance as he will be going into 9th grade. He is not devistated though, I am happy about that.
Davy has middle school, just got her done up for all of that, she is doing great, and Maxy goes to kindergarten, awwww
