Good Morning World!

I am soooo not used to being up in the morning! I don't work many day shifts and have gotten very lazy this summer. So today is my first of 3 day shifts in a row and it's very strange to be up before 10am. The kids are still sound asleep and will probably still be there when I head out to work.

So what's new, hmmm, not much on our end. The weather as cooled off, at night and in the morning it feels like fall, I'm so not ready for this kind of weather.

The kids and I went shopping on Tues. for school supplies. They are all done except Josh's duotangs. I still have to get them some clothes, not Josh so much, his jeans still fit and I just bought him new shirts in the spring, but Breanna doesn't have any jeans that still fit her.

I applied for a job at a car dealer yesterday, I probably won't get it but there's no harm in trying. It would be full time, I haven't worked full time in many years so that would be different. Everyone thinks just because Doug works at the mill I don't need to work, yea, okay, whatever you think. LOL I don't work because I enjoy it that's for sure. My back has been killing me at work, I'm standing the whole time I'm there, I've been told I shouldn't be standing all the time but where I work we have to. I like my job, love my boss, I know she'll be very upset if I leave but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Jeff and Kelly head home this weekend so we won't see them again till Christmas. But I guess that's not really that far away.

Well I guess it's time to get my butt in gear and get ready for work. Have a great day everyone!

Someone remind me that I'm not 19 anymore

As I've mentioned before, my cousin Jeff is home with his family for summer vacation, when he's home we always have a night out. Last night was our night. Now most times when I go out, by midnight I'm walking around drinking water, not last night, heck now, I'm still drinking rum at 2am. Drunk? Me? Oh yea, probably the most I've had to drink in the 13 years I've been married. But we had a great time! There was Doug and I, Jeff and Kelly, Kelly's brother who I haven't seen in many years, Kelly's step brother and his wife and my cousin Debbie. Donna-Leigh was going back and forth between the guys and galls from her work and us, she had to work today and went home early, which sucked. I got to see lots of people I haven't seen in a long time, got up to dance a few times, almost smacked a Barbie doll wanna be in the head, what a night. We need to do that more. And, for the first time since Breanna was born, we had no kids for the night, yes, the first time in almost 9 years!

I went to bed at 5:30am so tonight is going to be an early night, have a shower, watch a movie and go to bed, like old people like me should!

The pictures from Josh's birthday...

Best friends...

And 13 years later...

Rained Out!

Well the kids started out in the tent, went to sleep before 12 and were in the house at 3 when the storm hit full force! The lightning put on quite a show, non-stop. So I was up till about 5:30 by then all I was left with was the couch. LOL Everyone is so tired today and ofcourse, I'm the one that has to go to work at supper time, while these guys lay around and swim in the pool, I think it will be the pool more than anything else since I think it's gone past 30 already. I'd post some pictures of the party but Blogger has decided it doesn't want me to, so check back later and see if it is being nice to me. LOL

Happy 13th Birthday To Josh

My boy is 13 years old today, a teenager, how did that happen??? 13 years, 12 surgeries, he's come so far and has made us so proud. Keep up the great work big guy! We love you!
He's having some friends over for supper and cake and one friend is staying out in the tent for the night. It's a little cloudy so we hope we don't get any rain.

We're a tired bunch tonight

Today we went to the Bridgewater Ex. It's sure gotten smaller this year, not as many rides for sure. My cousin Jeff, his wife Kelly and his daughter Megs went too. The kids all did the rides, Breanna was on the Caos twice and Josh was on the Freak Out once, I kept my feet on the ground, right where they belong.

The next big thing is that our little guy turns 13 on Tuesday. I'm going to work on some pictures tomorrow to show how well he's done for the little guy that was never suppose to walk. Guess he showed us eh? He's having a friend or 2 over for the night out in the tent on Tues. No big party or anything like that, just cake and a movie.

I brought a migraine home from the Ex but feel much better now after some of every drug I have in the house, LOL. Damn I hate those things!

I'll check in again tomorrow!

First night in the tent

We got Josh's new tent put up yesterday, with help from Jeff who arrived just in time for me to hand him the instructions. It's a great tent and it was half price, so we're very pleased with it. So we get the air matteresses blown up, 2 double ones, so it takes up the whole floor, drag out sleeping bags, pillows, extra blankets, the portable dvd player and some movies and they are all set. After many trips into the bathroom I thought they were both sleeping so off I went to bed. Shortly after 12 Josh came in to the bathroom and said that Breanna had been asleep but woke up when he was trying to get out. I go back to bed again, till 12:20 when Breanna comes in with all her stuff, it's cold out there and she's sleeping in her own bed. LOL Josh did stay out the rest of the night by himself and came in around 7 this morning because he was cold. It did cool off quite a bit last night, I had to close our bedroom window a bit for the first time in months. So now Josh will get to bed nice and early tonight because he's so tired, and so is Mommy from not sleeping too great, listening for him to come in.
