Crock Hunter Killed

Taken from CNN...

Steve Irwin, the TV host known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after
being stung by a stingray off Australia's north coast. Irwin, 44 was killed by a
stingray barb that went through his chest, according to police sources. Irwin
was filming an underwater documentary at the time

We loved watching Steve and will miss seeing him on TV. He seemed like a wonderful man.

I'm still kicking

What a long, long weekend. I feel like I don't leave the store at all. Still have tomorrow and Monday to get through before I get a couple of days off. I was there at 8 this morning and got out at 5, came home, sooo tired but feeling guilty because I didn't get the kids any new clothes for school. So I ate supper and off we went to the next town to pick up a few things for my darlings.

Josh was so tired and his legs so sore that he'd pick out something and then head out in to the mall to find a bench to sit on. His legs are really giving him a problem. For those that don't know and might be dropping by from Wendy's place, Josh has Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. He's been having some trouble with his good leg and we have to go to the city on the 25th to get that checked.

Had to go up to the ER last night about my itchies, I'm telling you it's driving me mad. What a mess my arms and legs are in with scratches and bruises. The Dr on call thinks it's a nerve thing and my BP was up so that could very well be.

Anyway, time to get to bed, morning will be here before I know it.

It's going to be a long, long weekend

So we're almost at the last weekend before school starts. Sounds like it's going to be a nice one too. I won't see much of it, except from looking out through the window of the store. Oh well, we need the money!

My Dr appointment went okay, ofcourse he has no idea why I'm itchy, could be a problem with my kidneys, could be my nerves, he gave me some pills to try and stop it so we'll see how they work.

I went to the funeral home last night for a quick visit. Didn't get much chance to talk to Belinda because there were a lot of people there, which I knew would happen. I'll give her a call over the weekend to see how she's doing.

My side kick Miss Kimberley is all moved into her new place and is ready for school, I know she'll do well, she better or I'll kick her butt when she comes home. LOL Got that Miss Ley?

Anyway, I'm in the middle of washing bedding so I best get back at it. If I don't check in over the weekend you know where I am...Movie Gallery! Have a great long weekend my friends!

Not a very good day

Today is a very sad, miserable day, for lots of reasons, some of which are:

• I found out this morning that my friend Belinda's father passed away. Her and I were very close when we were in our teens and I spent most weekends at their house. Her parents were like my parents. Her father was a big guy and I mean big, he's scare you half to death at first sight but then you learned that he was just a big ol teddy bear, such a sweetie. Anyway, Cleve passed away yesterday, so tomorrow night I'll go to the funeral home to see the family and say good bye to Dad Cleve.

• Today is Miss Kimberly's last day at Movie Gallery. I know she can't wait to leave us but after working with her for over a year I'm going to miss her. I can always make her blush and she can always make me smile. She's heading off to the Valley to school. She'll have to get up every morning, cook and clean, OMG she'll never make it! LOL Just kidding Kimberley, you can do it, make us proud!

• The last few days my mouth has been killing me, I went to the dentist today and found out I had an infection in my gums, I thought it hurt before but after having him scrape around in there, it hurts more now. So I just started an antibiotic and hope by the time I go back to work on Thurs. it will feel better.

• I've still got the itchy thing going on, still don't know what's doing it but I see the Dr tomorrow at supper time, maybe he can figure it out.

• And the last thing that's making it a yucky day is that it's yucky, cold and wet out. I think the sun is suppose to come back out tomorrow, sure hope so.

Shark Pictures

Here's a few of the pictures I took of the sharks when they brought them in, I didn't get a weight of the largest but I'm sure I'll hear by tomorrow.

Sea Fest Weekend

It's Sea Fest weekend here in Brooklyn, it's a big weekend for our little place. Last night we took in the Rita MacNeil concert. Josh was down at the marina all day watching them bring the sharks in. I had to work but will get down tomorrow with my camera and will post some pictures tomorrow night.

My blood work came back a-okay, which is good except for the fact that I am still scratching like crazy and don't know why. This is some kind of torture.

Another week begins

This is the last full week of Aug. boy the time sure has gone by fast this summer. It will soon be time for school and time to get back into a routine again, no more staying up till midnight for the kids.

We had a good weekend, Saturday we were in the Valley and yesterday I had to work and then we had company for supper. Doug spent the day cooking a turkey dinner, it smelled like Christmas when I got home from work.

The kids have been trying to catch the kittens but the kittens aren't having any of that. I try and tell the kids they have to let the kittens come to them or else they will just hide from them.

Today I've been trying to clean up and trying to get my Dr.'s office on the phone, he's been on vacation for 2 weeks so all I'm getting is a busy signal. I have to get a blood work paper filled out, hopefully there will be some clue in my blood work as to why I'm so damn itchy. I don't have a rash and I'm not itchy all the time, it comes and goes. I've got my legs so bruised up from scratching that I won't wear shorts out in public, I look like someone beat me up!

Time to get back to work!
