1. Yesterday I got to hold an 8 week old puppy (Lab.) who is a "Puppy In Training" as a seeing eye dog. What a wonderful experience to hold this puppy and I applaude the woman who is giving 22 months of her life to train this pup to help another who can't see.

2. Today I'm re-organizing my closet and dresser drawers...ugh!

3. Egbob and I have been doing an extreme makeover in our bedroom and the closet and drawer re-orangizing is the next step to our goal. We'll be getting a Queen size bed and replacing it with our current King size bed. I'll finally be able to use my new Amish queen size Quilt I bought last summer in Lancaster County PA...yay!

4. Okay...breaktime is over!

1. We got home about 6:30 tonight. Got stuck in traffic for over an hour. Kind of a good thing too, guess there was thunder storms further ahead of us (we missed all of it, except for a few sprinkles) and flash flooding in a couple places.

2. Had a terrific time! The kids spent all the money they'd saved up for the trip and came home with a ton of stuff. They were sweet though and did remember their cousins.

3. I've got some pics to post probably Monday. Tomorrow we have to go visit my nieces and then the kids are going to grandma's to swim.

4. I was joking with her earlier and asked if she wanted to keep the kids next weekend so we could go to Vegas. She said sure! We're going to see how it works out and if she doesn't get busy and if Darren doesn't have to work Saturday.

5. On the drive home, Darren flew through a huge mud puddle. My nice clean car is now filthy! We tried to spray it off real quick at home, but it didn't work too great, lol. Guess what he'll be doing tomorrow.

6. Harvey was so happy to see us when we got home. He came close to knocking the kids down when they walked in to get some lovin, lol. He's been laying at my feet for the last hour and a half.

1. My new creed lately has been to just take things one day at a time. This is something that Bob says all the time, and now I'm saying it and thinking it, and it seems so true.

2. I had a doctor's appt. today of all days. I really wish I had rescheduled. I went there thinking it was going to be just a quick in and out deal, but boy was I wrong. I waited in the exam room for that doctor for an hour before he came in! And then I ended up having to give 5 vials of blood and a bit of urine. And then after that I was told I have to save my urine in a container for over a 24 hour period then return the full container to the clinic.

3. The purpose of storing up all that urine is for testing for protiens being dropped because of the diabetes, but the doc said my diabetes is totally under control. So I wonder why the heck I have to go through the hassle of saving my pee for 24 hours... yuck.

4. Yesterday, I went to Bob's and took some lasagna, fresh tomatoes from the garden and fresh peaches from our tree. We watched a couple of movies and just spent some nice quiet time together. I gave him a sponge bath and washed his hair too.

5. It's interesting that since his accident and all the help I've given him, he is calling me every single day, which is something he stopped doing quite some time ago. I'm wondering if he's seeing me in a new light and his interest in me has increased, but then again, I wonder if his interest will wane once again, once he is better and back to a normal life routine. Oh well, whatever happens I'm prepared for it, and like he always says, all you can do is take it a day at a time.

6. I was so tired last night, I ended up sleeping 10 hours, waking up at 10:30 this morning, and then this evening, I was watching tv and fell asleep for 3 hours! I can't figure out why I was so tired that I had to sleep that much.

7. My best friend, Herb and I have had a sort of falling out, which I think will be temporary, but I am so upset with him, that I just can't bring myself to call him. I think he owes me a huge apology. He said some things that went way beyond my boundaries concerning some choices I had made, and no matter what I said to him I couldn't get him to stop. It's like he was trying to control me with his own ideas. He just said way too much. I haven't talked to him for 5 days now, which is a long time, since we usually talk every day. <sigh>

1. We've been very busy here this weekend.

2. We rented one of those large garbage dumpsters and totally cleaned out the garage.

3. We've just accumulated too much stuff.

4. Painted daughter's bedroom a very pretty shade of blue.

5. I cleaned out my closet and got rid of quite a bit.

6. Got rid of some old furniture.

7. Got our bathroom painted. (Now, I need to shop for a new bathroom rug, towels and something for the wall.)

8. Going to paint my son's room. He wants a kind of gray to make his room in the Raiders' color of silver and black.

8.3 reader, the raiders are currently the "oakland" raiders, but during the pre-season they reside in Napa. actually, behind my house is the raider training camp. which i learned just a little over a week ago. they train at redwood middle school while the school is not in session.

1. I just finished putting together a year's worth of receipts and paperwork for the department of social security, about 200 sheets of copies, to prove to them that we don't misspend my son's disability checks! The problem was that they wanted September 2003 through August 2004. It gripes me since I already turned in the same paperwork a year ago, and already filled in three dozen other reports this year for their audits. When will it end?

2. I am so happy to be here, in all that is TVCH, my online community and HOME.

1. Aw Gracie, I'm sorry you're having to go through that. Mom just went through it again with my aunt a couple months ago.

2. My nieces came over to play today. The youngest lived up to her boogey nickname and bit the crud out of Dakota. I'd chalk it up to her not feeling well since by the time she left she was running a fever, but thats fairly normal behavior for her!

3. I've got so much to do before we leave this weekend and havne't done much of anything. I spent today cleaning up after the kids...most of the day and cleaning out my car from this weekend. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be more productive, lol.

1. Last night around 7:30 central - my power went out. Came back on around 9:30 central. Let's just say today I am LOVING electricity.

2. Sunday they made it offical at church - we voted to go ahead with an expansion that will add a children's wing. As someone involved in children's ministries I'm SOOOO excited!! (cuz ya know we be rather crunched for space)

3. I am discovering the joys of free podcasts - which I am listening to at work (where I have cruddy radio reception). Seems to be filling in the missing talk radio/christian radio gap that I was missing.

4. my digital cable box is acting blinky. Power outage has made issue worse. Need to call cable company today. They are scheduled to come out thursday am to check the line but I want to find out if they're bringing a box with them - because although customer service thinks line - I think it is the box. Got to love technology sometimes (my other tv and my cable broadband with bb feeds are fine).

5. I'm taking thursday/friday/monday/tuesday off. A few sanity days to burn vacation time up before I get into September/october budgets and standards madness. My 'vacation' time is filling up. there's the above on thursday. sometime during all of this I should be getting my poor deer-scarred car back and on tuesday the children's pastor at my church and I are going to visit my previous church to see how they handled an expansion of their church.

1. Went to work yesterday just to see people and get 8 weeks of mail out of my mailbox...it really wasn't that much.

2. The two new band guys were there and looks like they are getting settled in. They get along--WHEW! And both are full of energy and ideas!

3. Found the new choir director sitting on a pile of boxes in her new office. She was frazzled from moving, and I took her to the bookstore and then out for dinner. She was much less frazzled after that. She also is full of energy and ideas.

4. I am getting the feeling that my staff will be putting our department in the limelight! I love all of this energy....and it isn't all coming from ME, which is delightful!

5. Still haven't been to the grocery store and will have to go today after I find my Kroger card. Also need to go to the pool store to get massive quantities of algaecide. My pool is a lovely emerald green, despite putting in all the chlorine that I have and running the filter for 2 days.

6. It is really good to be back in the states and at home! Maybe I'll start in on my Harry Potter book or even watch BB tonight!

Have a great day, everyone!

1. We have had a really busy summer, another one of the reasons why I haven't been posting much.

2. A couple weeks ago we took the kids on their first camping adventure. We had a great time. The kids loved sleeping in a tent, once they finally went to sleep...I think they thought they were in a bounce house and had so much fun bouncing on the air matresses. Jim and I were sitting by the fire cracking up at their belly laughs, it was hilarious.

3. We went fishing and made smores...all the normal camping stuff. We tried to go swimming, but since we were in the mountains, the lakes are snow runoff and it was just a little too cold!

4. A week later I had to make my first 911 call. Jenna was playing with a toy broom and she fell off the end of the couch with it in her mouth. When she hit the ground it jammed into the back of her throat. The handle on it was broken and it's plastic so it cut her the back of her mouth and blood just started gushing out. She was gurgling and coughing. It was horrible and I was so scared.

5. By the time the ambulance and fire truck got there she was just sitting on my lap crying, no more blood, but they checked her out and suggested I take her to the dr. Luckily there was no damage to her throat, which is what I was afraid of. The wound is about a 1/2 inch semi-circle cut in the way back of her mouth on the right side.

6. She is fine now and was fine a couple days later, but her wound looked horrible. I don't know how she could eat normally, but she did.

7. I have missed all my Factoider friends!

1. Hi Sewmommy! I always love to read the facts and hope you start posting more often!!


5.1 Wow Jewels! That's scary! You brought me back to my childhood with that one-I slipped once with the back of a BIC pen in my mouth (that had the cap on it-the top of the cap has a circular hole) I still have a huge indent there to this day in that shape!

1. Thanks Silli and Annie, she is doing just fine now. Silli, I have a feeling she will have an everlasting mark also. The broom was hollow and ....gross alert.... was half filled with skin. Yuck.

2. I'm doing more facts, just because I can..

3. We are going to the beach this weekend with my DH's family. I hope the weather is nice so we aren't stuck in the house the whole time.

4. My DH has been working on replacing our foundation. Right now, one side of my house is being held up by jacks. Kind of a weird feeling.

5. I went peach picking yesterday and am trying to figure out what I am going to make now. If anyone has any good recipes, feel free to post time in my folder!

6. I am trying to potty train Jenna. She will sit there if I put her on, but she won't do it on her own. We are getting there.

7. Another gross alert.....she has started sticking her hand in her diaper after she poops and smears it all over the place. Gross. I have found smeared poop in odd places because I never know when she is going to do it and she always hides somewhere to poop. The other day she smeared it all over a couch cushion. Covered about 90% of the cushion.

8. My house is a disaster area. I should be cleaning, but I am here instead!
