1. The boys are going to Disney tomorrow.

2. Wish I could go.

3. I'm going to enjoy the quiet time though.

4. I've done nothing but sleep this weekend and go to Target.

5. I should've washed some clothes.

6. I want to rent one of those huge dumpsters so I can clean the junk out of my house.

7. I heard they only cost a couple of hundred and I think it's well worth the money.

8. I really need to declutter.

6.1 Mocha when we were doing home renovations a while back we rented one of the big dumpsters for a month. Cost us under $200. With this round of renovations we are planning the same thing, though we will keep it a little longer cuz I want to get rid of a bunch of stuff too.

1. I am so sorry to read about Froggie and Egbok's pets. I can't imagine my dog Harley not being in our family, although I know that day will come.

2. I like Mocha's idea about renting a dumpster. I have a ton of crap in my basement that is leftover from renovations that has to go.

3. My goal is to have the basement re-organized before Sept.

4. Sept. is creeping closer...I bought my textbooks for University the other day. Ugh.

5. Now I have to get my student loan forms filled out and deposited in the mail. Double Ugh.

6. My boys came home from their holiday yesterday. They updated me on a week's worth of adventure in about 5 minutes. Little motor-mouths! LOL. At least I know they had a fantastic time.

7. My DH has not heard back from his job interview yet. They told him "about 10 working days." Tomorrow is a civic holiday for us, so he will phone on Tues. to find out the status of his application. We are still keeping our fingers crossed.

8. My sister who I haven't seen since Feb. is coming home to visit on Aug. 5. She is a cruise director so I don't get to see her too often. It'll be fun to hang out with her again - if only for a few days.

9. For some reason I have insomnia. I think I'll turn off all the lights and see if I can fall asleep watching something boring on TV. I'll put the "snooze" setting on. G'night all.

1. Well, we're redoing our roof plus some windows and painting the outside of the house. We were told by the roofer that one of the costliest parts of redoing the roof is the trash so we're going to see if we need a special dumpster for that kind of stuff or just the regular. Since we're getting a hell of a deal, we're hoping to cut down some more on the cost ourselves.

2. Either way, we need it for the rest of the home improvement projects and the junk in the garage has been breeding or something cuz it's out of control, lol. We still have boat stuff in there and haven't had the boat for five years at least! Stuff like that I can give to my little adopted bro, but alot of it just needs to go in the trash.

3. Dakota is driving me 100%, absolutely batty today. She seems to have lost her little voice and has been screaming, yelling, and right now pounding on a tin can lid with all her might. If it wasn't so hot I'd send her little butt outside, lol.

4. On top of that Caleb managed to catch a cold and he doesn't feel well enough to play with her so she is bored.

5. And the whole time he's sneezing, running a fever, and laying around cuz he doesn't feel good, he's telling me it's just allergies. I think he's afraid we won't go to San Diego if he's sick, or that he might be left home.

6. I'm not too worried about it, he should be feeing fine by Wednesday or Thursday. Since our only plans for Wednesday are driving down there and getting settled in the hotel, and giving the kids pool time, he'll be fine for the trip.

7. I have been doing laundry for two days now. Since we're in a voluntary cut back of electricity (or were) I had stopped doing most of it, just doing what we needed. My electric bill will be sky high but what can ya do. It has to be done.

8. Need to take Caleb to buy sneakers today, he's outgrown his old pair and I'm betting sandals will be uncomfortable for all the walking we plan.

9. I made good progress today. Tomorrow I need to dust my bedroom and then sweep and wash down the front and back patio. Also need to pack but I plan to do alot of that later this afternoon.

10. Also going to pay the neighbor's kid to mow the lawn sometimes this week and water for us while we're gone. That way mom doesn't have to do it. I do have to remind her to feed the turtles cuz I keep forgetting about that for some reason.

1. I'M IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! Whoo Hooo....the fast ferry between Toronto and Rochester is AWESOME! I"m in another dorm room with the bathroom down the hall. Done research at the library, and then smashed my ring finger in a closing window...that will make playing tomorrow even MORE challenging.

Guess I don't need to post in the road trips thread!

1. I've GOT to try to get a few hours of sleep ASAP! I know I'm excited because we are going to a friend's beach house today for 2 days to just relax and hang out with our friends. Last night I made a huge pot of chicken and dumplings to take with us since our friends LOVE it and I don't make it very often because its a lot of work. I can't wait to get to the beach! DH and I really need this getaway and I won't even mind being away from TV and BB! (I have my DVR set) Next week we are going back to spend 4 days there and hubby will commute to work while I stay there. These are great friends that we love hanging out with. We play Scrabble and several card games at night and collect rocks off the beach in the daytime. No phone, no TV, just relaxing with friends.

2. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to go down to Orlando the first week of Sept. to celebrate my grandbaby's first birthday. I got new pics of her yesterday which I posted in my folder. The pics made me cry because I miss her so much and want to hold her so badly. As soon as we get back from the beach this week I'm going to start looking for cheap flights. I'm glad that's all I have to pay for since I always stay with my daughter.

2.5. I'm also really hoping that I can make the London, ON TVCH meeting in Sept. Getting there is the easy part. Its only a 2 hour drive. Its the hotel part that may put a kink in my plans, but I really want to go and meet some new TVCH folks and meet up again with some I've met. Damn, I hate being broke! Maybe someone who lives there can turn me on to a cheap flophouse. LOL Well, I'm going to try again to get some sleep before we leave.

2.75. OH! I forgot to mention that I'm also going to meet WhoAmI's neice today! Her drum corp is going to be about 10 miles from the beach house so hubby and I are going to meet her and take some pics! I'll post them when we get back! Bye Bye, everyone!

1. Welcome back to the U.S. of A. Schoolmarm. Hope your finger is feeling a bit better by now.

2. Twinks, have a great time at the beach! Can you quick freeze a portion of your delicious chicken and dumpling and FedEx 'em to me? Have fun meeting Who's neice....yay!

3. I went back to Curves yesterday...yay for me! Today I'm feeling just a tad soreness in my upperams and shoulders, so I did relaxing stretches and I'm feeling a bit better in that area. I plan on going to Curves M-W-F & Sat for a few weeks and then once I feel improvement/stronger, I'll add Tues & Thurday.

3.1 I received my first year job evaluation yesterday and received some very nice kudos from the Director, along with a very sweet merit raise, which pleases me to no end!! I proudly state I've earned the praise and raise. I feel so lucky and blessed to be in this job role. With the raise also came a few new challenges for me to handle and learn. I truly look forward to this coming year.

1. Someone please stop me! I'm packing like mad for the kids. Dakota's little suitcase is packed full, enough I may have to tie the sucker shut, lol. I have her packed 6 sets of shorts and tshirts, a skirt and shirt set, a dress, five pair of jeans, more tshirts, 3 pair of sweats and 2 different sweaters. Not to mention her bathing suit, jammies, socks and panties! We're only going to be gone 4 days, LOL. Oh did I mention the three pairs of shoes?? Caleb's is almost as bad, though not quite. He's only got two pair of shoes to take.

2. What do I have packed for me? 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of shorts, lol. That's it. Think I may need to concentrate on my clothes for awhile!

3. I still need to charge up the cell phones and the camera battey. Got the car washed and vaccumed out today, got mom set to be here most the time we're gone, and the neighbor kid to take care of my lawn. Still need to pull some cash out of the bank and do some grocery shopping for mom, plus need to run back to the store for things I forgot, despite being their twice in the last two days.

4. Now I need to set up the vcr for big brother and Scifi Friday.

1. Ok, I took out some clothes from the kids suitcases and Dakota's dress shoes. She can wear either her sneakers or sandals with her skirt.

2. Not only are all the suitcases packed, but everything is in the car and ready to go. All we have to do in the morning is get up and get showered.

3. I planned to be in bed early. I didn't sleep much last night. As you can see it's now after midnight and I'm still up!

4. Hehe, this morning I took the car to get it washed and detailed and waxed. Me and the kids went over and sat inside while it was being done and watched. When we came out to get the car, the poor kid who had washed it asked me very timidly if I'd had an antena when I came in. Now Darren told me if he'd have been there, he'd have told the poor kid yes, what'd you do to my antena? but I had to tell him the truth cuz he looked so miserable, lol. Nope, no antena, there's little black dots around the windshield that acts as an antena (I have no idea how nor do I really want to know how it works as long as it does work, lol!) Kid was pretty relieved, lol.

5. A few minutes ago I ran out to throw Caleb's shoes in the back of the car and when I was setting the alarm I somehow hit the panic button. With the Lincoln, I never even bothered to roll up the windows or lock the doors, so an alarm with a remote is totally new to me! I couldn't figure out how to turn the damn thing off, lol. Luckily I didn't wake the family up, but it did cause the neighbor to come running out to see what was happening to me. I feel like a dork, lol.

1. Wargod - I hope you have a great time on your trip!

2. My DH called about his job interview results yesterday! They said he was a successful candidate!!!! There were hundreds of applications sent in. Only 35 people were selected for aptitude testing and interviews. There are only 15 spots available and he got one!

3. Next step for him is 22 weeks of paid training starting in September. After his training he will get a raise . I am excited because even his training pay is more than what he is making now.

4. DH new job is as a railway engineer. Right now he works for the bank. He loves the bank, but hates being in an office. He will be much happier when he gets back to the physical labour jobs he is used to.

5. I took my DS to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yesterday. It was a cute movie. I liked seeing Wonka's back-story. The oompah-loompahs were well played by that one actor, LOL.

2. She got the Rising Star hardo and her nails/makeup done.

3. She loved every minute of it and I even let her make her own perfume (She chose Sporty Gal)

4. I think these next few pictures of the glitter aftermath will count as the rest of my facts!

1. Oh Silly, DD is just beautiful! Are those blue eyes ... wow!

2. My day was horrible!

3. First I went out to my car for lunch and found a flat tire.

4. So I called the tow truck and he put on my spare. After work I ended up having to buy a new tire.

5. Then, my son's father tried to have me served at work! Our receptionist called me and said a processor was here to see me, I refused! At my job ... tacky! He can come and knock on my front door.

6. This will make our #8 time in Family Law court. My son's father takes me to court regularly because we can't agree and he thinks the court will agree with him. They don't.

7. It ends up a waste of time and energy. But he has every right to pursue me legally as my son's father. But he's still a jerk.

7.1 Where is Hermi when I need a b/tch slap!!

1. Pups woke me at 6 am to go out and potty. I got to go back to bed about 7 am.

2. Got up at 9:15 to accompany my sister-in-law and two nieces to Wichita to take her car to the shop and go shopping.

3. We had lunch at Olive Garden. YUMMMMY!

4. My babies were very happy to see me when I got home.. I need to figure out how to teach them not to jump.

5. I helped my mom prepare tacos for dinner.

6. My best friend is in town and we're getting together with the other blonde of the group to get donuts in the morning ( i LOVE daylights!)

7. I walked the pups tonight. They both pooped in good time, which was very nice.

8. As I watched Over There tonight, I kept thinking, this is too close to home, but I couldn't stop watching it. I guess that I think it will give me a little more of an idea of how things are for my Jonathan when he is there.

9. Last but not least, I miss Jonathan like crazy and I hope to hear from him soon.

1. Today the temp with humidity got up to 102. This was the day I chose to go to Delaware Motor Vehicle lanes to get my car inspected, new license, etc. I was set: I had printed out the directions to the DMV place closest to where we live. I puttered around on HERE just a bit too long, but managed to get to the bank and then get underway.

2. So I got to Rt 13 (where it crosses over the river) and saw that the road was blocked off by workmen, cones and a police car. It was el closedo. And, upon further investigation, it was obvious why. The bridge was in the up position---and I learned by asking the cop--that they couldn't get it down! So I asked him for an alternative route to wend my way back onto 13 (never was good at routes, guys). He gave me easy-to-follow directions. Course one of the roads he told me to take was closed, too! But I took a parallel road and came out where I recognized things and got back on 13. Drove right up to the lanes, first in line to get the car inspected, AND . . .

3. The inspector told me no go. Batting my eyelashes didn't help, either. Why no go? Because I had Herc with me. Now I knew that PASSENGERS aren't allowed in the car when it goes thru inspection. But doggies? (And Herc didn't even growl at the stranger for once, either.)

4. Because finding the place had been semi-traumatic, I stopped at the paramedic station adjacent to the police station a little up the road. Why? I thought they might be dog lovers and would allow Herckle to sit in their a/c offices for 15 minutes tops while I went thru the line. Uh, no dog lovers to be found. Tried the cops themselves. Nopey nope. Gave up.


5. Came back thru all the traffic home, stopping to get my Rx (which I had called in the night before). But I got a new Rx card in the mail. So, unless I wanted to pay full price, I'd have to wait 15 minutes til the bill was refigured. No huge sweat. Herc was in the car, but I had left the a/c on for him and locked it.

6. Finally got it, got in the car, and noticed right away that the car was not cool. Yikes. (Not hot in there, just not cool.) Figured the car just needed to MOVE down the road a bit til it cooled off. (Dunno why, but the a/c doesn't seem to do well when the car is idling.)

7. Had two more stops--the cleaners and Burger King (quick chicken dinner for Herc--the Tendergrill Chicken, plain please). The a/c is not doing well in the car--nothing is getting any cooler. Herc and I made it home in one piece, ran into the a/c house. Yay! Coolness. Yay, Herc got his chicken.

8. I opened the door to the computer room--where I had left the window a/c on for a nice welcome home (that room runs hotter than the rest of the house). Surprise! The fuse has blown while we were out. So no nice cool air has filled the room. I turn things off, flip the switch down in the basement, trudge back up. Turn things back on one at a time. No problem.

9. Herc is now collapsed on my air mattress (rather than his bed) and I am about ready to collapse beside him. And I have to go back tomorrow. Wahhhhhhh.

10 Uh, minus Herc.

1-3./4. Oh, Herk, if I had been there, I would have been happy to watch Herc while "you" were inspected. I love doggies and they seem to love me. I get sloppy kisses. They're all so cute -- 'cept maybe that Chinese Crested kind.

1. Thanks, Buttercup and Color! LOL, Color about babysitting Herc and disliking that dog breed that looks like its last name should be Osborn!

2. I got everything done just fine today. Wasn't able to glare at the mean inspector today cuz he wasn't around. But just as well Herc was at home. Inside stuff took F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
