One word for tonight:

BUNCO!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all have a great weekend.

Hello everyone. Hope that everyone has had a nice relaxing weekend.

I try really hard to keep my political opinions to myself. With this whole

"Occupy Wall Street" protest movement, I don't really have an opinion. I am grateful to live in a country where we have the right to do so. As long as the protestors stay peaceful, I really don't have a problem with it.

Late this rainy Sunday evening, someone sent me a picture. I feel like I should share it with everyone. It touched something in me and I feel like, maybe, We, the people, should march or protest or whatever it's called to make our governmental representatives live with the retirement programs they have bankrupted and with the medical care they have voted for us, then we would see how fast they could make these systems work again. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Hope you all have a great week!!

WOW! It has been quite a while since I posted. Time is slipping by faster and faster these days.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing well.

Today, I got progress reports for my kids. All three are doing well, but I'm freaking out just a small amount. HALF of the first grading period is gone. ALREADY!!!

I'm holding steady (bouncing back and forth on a 5 lb differential). I lose it, then I gain it back. I think the fact that anything chocolate passing within eating distance is eagerly devoured might have something to do with that. I'm hoping to get my self back under control in the next week or so. And maybe I can start round 2 of getting healthier.

I had a job interview on Monday. Can I just say that it has been waaaaaaay too long since I had to apply for a job. I have seriously marketable skills, but no college. My college has been the experience that I have gained while working in the public sector. I have applied to work at our local high school in a clerks position. Still haven't heard anything. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My oldest boy will be old enough to drive, by himself, in a little less than two months. What happened to that cute little baby sitting in my laundry basket? I blinked and he's almost an adult.

I hope that all of you are having a blessed week and if not, that the rest of this week will be blessed for you.

ITS GONNA BE COLD HERE IN THE MORNING.

Well, it's gonna be 68, and only till about 10 am, BUT this little bit of chill in the early morning air is giving me the hope necessary to hold on to my sanity until the "real" cold weather gets here SOON I hope.
I was NOT one of those people whining when it was 50 degrees. I was yahooing and running around in shorts. I LOVE THE COOLER WEATHER.
I hope that you all have a great week. Do you like hot or cold weather?

Hello everyone. I lost 3.4 lbs this past week. Yay!! Finally, the scale is going my way.
I have applied for a job. At the school where my oldest attends. Keep your fingers crossed and prayers are welcomed.
Hope that everyone has a blessed week.

IT's THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

I know you all have heard me say it before,

BUT

it is the most wonderful time of the year.

School is back in session.

This morning we were blessed. No one got out of bed

grumpy. Isn't that amazing?

Everyone had breakfast. No fighting. AT ALL.

WAIT just a doggone minute! Am I still asleep?

Am I just having a really good dream?

Please don't pinch me. I am enjoying this sensation

tooo much.

God bless you all. I hope your first day of school is blessed

as well. Have a great week!!

Did you see it yet?

I did. I got the chance to go see The Help last night.

I was so happy to finally see the movie of the book I read last year. I was not disappointed. I tell ya, I laughed ( a LOT) and I cried and ran a gamut of emotions for this movie. It was wonderful. I can't wait to go see it again. (My snorting may have inadvertantly made me miss something key). Did you get to see it yet? What did you think?
