Some things have to be left unsaid because it won't change things, just make it worse

Good bye my friend,
Safe travels,
Here is to a happy new life (raises beer)

I hope you stay happy
I hope the best for you.

Good bye

Time for bed

So tired out!

Spent the day running around with the kids. Middle School Orientation, Elementary School open house, shopping for forgotten (or just discovered) supplies.  Setting up gym lockers. Appointments. Running to football with one and home and to football with the another (shoes were at home). Etc.....

I left the house at 7:45 am only to return for good around 6:45pm. The whole time was busy w/ kids' stuff.  Once I got home I folded clothes until now.  I'm done...for today. Sigh

It's time

It's time for the kids to go back to school

Jury Duty

Yep, I'm going tomorrow for sure.  (just talked to the lawyer today-yep, I know here...I know everyone)

Here is hoping the day goes quickly at least.

planning

a good date takes planning and forethought.  any fool can pick a girl up and bring her to the movie and drop her back off at home.  but a real thinker backs the pick up to the bonfire, fills it with blankets and pillows, runs an extension cord out to a t.v. / dvd player or laptop with movie player and starts the fire puts a basket of bug spray and other necessary supplies and a cooler with a few snacks tucked in the cab.  only someone who really was trying to be original would make movie night an experience.

wish i knew someone like that- or even someone who would join me.  in lack of date ideas?  creative ones that is....i have a ton of them...... 

:p

Right...So....Ummm...

Sometimes taking the time to slow down, step back, and think about something does not a damn thing to make the situation better.  Nope. 

*still shaking my head


On a side note, I just signed back up for the Rec Center- Fall and Spring Semesters.  They allow us back in tomorrow for the school year.  I am so excited to get back to exercising that it is a bit odd, but I just know how much better I felt when I was making it the the gym regularly.

Just figured out my Fall trip I think.  Excited. Love my girl time and the therapy it provides to go away for a few days.

Summer is ending too quickly and school activities are starting too soon.  All last week was cold and not wonderful at all. Sigh...hoping to make it to the beach more yet this year but the weather disagrees.  Not happy.  Fingers Crossed.

Jury Duty moved to Thursday- hope it settles out of court again.

Ummmm...... what else?  Questions? Comments?  You know what to do

Hubby found out tonight that tI really do know how to play golf.  Silly him for believing me all these years that I sux!  (I worked at a golf course for three different Summers!)  Now he wants a family membership for next year.  Damnit! Some secrets are better left untold.  Sigh.....  :)

Chilling

The coyotes are howling again tonight- right outside my window.  They are at the back fence which makes them less than 50-75 yards away.  It is chilling enough that even the dog (who barks at the rotation of the Earth) isn't barking.  We are all kind of froze in a natural defensive, no moving sort of way.

Welcome to the woods, Up North

Go to bed already

I for one am happy the Olympics are over.  Maybe now my family will get their butt into bed before 11pm.  It was getting ridiculous to have my 7 yr old up that late! 

That being said, they are all still awake and it is 9:30pm

Sweatin......

After having four pregnancies I vowed to never wear baggy, loose, sloppy clothes again (maternity clothes have gotten a lot cuter in the past 13 yrs) So this meant sweat pants were a definite no-no. While at baseball this Summer a mom showed up in sweats and a t-shirt and I thought she looked so damn cute that I decided I had to find THOSE sweats and that I could wear them (if I looked as cute as her)

Well....what do you think?

 

Part of me still thinks I look like a "two ton tilly" (cuz that is what my dad used to call people in sweats)

.....

Funny....but not THAT kinda funny

I was shopping for school supplies with the 3 boys tonight (girlie is at a friend's house).  While we were counting out the correct number of, kind of, and color of folders needed for each child I noticed something.....couples.  Couples shopping together. 

I have gotten so used to being a single married person I forget that couples do things together......

It made me sadder than I already am. 

I truly don't know what it would be like to grocery shop with my spouse or to have him come with to pick out school supplies or drive me to the store because I needed cat food or shampoo. (see, I said *I* needed without even thinking! It's our cat, he washes his hair too.....)

Odd....funny....but not the laughing kind of funny......

Hungry?

I'm (not) fine tonight

I got 1 cavity filled and another old one fixed today.  I swear the dentist is my kryptonite!  I would rather have surgery than get my teeth worked on.  (Although I guess they knock you out for surgery, now don't they!)

I also got some bad news right before I went to the dentist.  This being said I cried all afternoon.  I figured out in the middle of all of this blubbering that I don't have a friend I can talk to right now. Everyone is going through their own 'stuff'.  So it goes.

I really wanted support from my spouse but he was busy working.  I did however get over 75 photos edited for 2 assignments I had for our local magazine. 

I am going to bed now.  I need a new day
