1. Big hugs, SS and family! It seems like Dev's time home just flew by! 2. This morning we took Darren out to breakfast for Father's Day. Then brought him home for presents and hugs and cards. Caleb made a book in school about the things him and dad do together and what he liked most about dad (dad is funny.) Dakota made him a paperweight using screws, nails, and washers. He also got a new watch. 3. Ran into an old friend at the restaurant. She got to meet my family, I got to meet hers. 4. Tomorrow my sister and I are taking Kota to get 10 inches of hair cut off the back. 5. She is totally excited about going short and says if she doesn't like it, it will always grow back. 6. I'm excited about her having easier hair to take care of for awhile. 7. We will be donating her hair to Locks of Love. Since she has seen the effects of hair loss on someone ill and the importance of wigs in that situation she's even more excited about it. 8. I bought the kids their summer pool today. Hopefully it will keep them occupied for awhile! Also got them their summer journals. Both of them were busy writing away this evening about their weekend.

1. Tim and I went camping in Door County at Peninsula State Park Saturday night. 2. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Low 80s during the day, low 50s at night, low humidity...no mosquito bites at all! 3. We would have stayed another day but he didn't turn his time card in at work on Friday (they have to do it by Monday) so we had to come back so he could go to work today. 4. We were driving past a picnic area and Tim said "look! That guy’s peeing!" This guy was facing the road, peeing, and did he turn and hide when he saw us or show ANY modesty? NO! This all happened pretty fast so I’m not sure exactly how it happened- one second I saw a big stream of pee and the next thing I knew he was holding his shirt up and his pants were down low enough so we got the full frontal view. 5. We were feet from him driving by- he looked like he was about 20. We saw him later, or we think it was him because the car looked the same and he was stumbling so I’m guessing drunk kid. Heehee. 6. Tim upgraded his surround sound yet again. Best Buy was doing some thing where you get the 12" subwoofer free with any purchase over $800 of a reciever so he went and bought the THX reciever to get that. 7. One year ago he bought this surround sound set-up and since then the whole thing has been replaced. The four back speakers were little satellites and they've been replaced, the two main big speakers (these were not part of the original set-up- he had been using his old ones), he replaced the center channel with a bigger one- and now the reciever and sub-woofer. It sounds really good though. 8. We watched The Incredibles last night. 9. I don't notice a difference, but he seems to and he sure gets happy from it.

1. I think I set a personal record today for number of posts in the personal folders area! 2. Yesterday I felt under the weather. This morning at 4:30 a.m., I still felt under the weather and it seemed like a really good idea to call in sick. 3. Around noon, I started feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed, and a little guilty for not being at work. 4. I fought the guilt by running amok at TVCH. 5. This is my last week of work before summer vacation. I am so excited. 6. It will be the first summer since 2000 that I won't be working summer school. 7. I'm hoping to draw, paint and write a lot. 8. Kaili, I saw a man peeing by the side of the road once also. He was halfway between an elementary school and a middle school and just letting loose over a little bridge. I never forgot that. 9. I also saw a very drunk girl pee in the sink at a bar once. 10. I need to go be constructive. I think if I get some laundry done, it will offset some of the guilt at taking a sick day!

1. Dakota had a whopping 13 inches of hair cut from her head today. She is so happy with her short hair and keeps flipping it around. I'm so happy with how easy it'll be to take care of for a change, LOL. I'll be posting pics later. 2. I caught a cold this weekend and feel rotten. I've got my sisters kids over and neither of them is feeling real terrific either. Poor baby is wandering aorund dazed because she had medicine right before she got here.

1. It is really slow at work today, only three staff out of seven are here 2. I had a good weekend, got lots done, including nursing cold sores on my mouth from a very stressful Monday last week and broke my toe running into a bolder while washing my car Sunday (OUCH) 3. My DS is out of school and bored already! I can't wait till school starts again.

1. Wow Wargod, that is great 13 inches. And that you are donating it as well is also great. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Colds in the summer are not fun. 2. We had some warmer weather today finally. Tomorrow is going to be very warm. 3. Tomorrow will be my last day volunteering at my dd's Kindergarten class. They are done the following Tuesday, so I won't be needed. I will miss the kids and the teacher. 4. They started putting the steel on the roof of the barn today. They don't have too much done, but great to see more progress done.

1. I was pretty surprised it was that long, lol. She's never had more than a trim to even up the back though so that's probably why it was that long. 2. Dakota was bald as could be at birth and up until she was over two she had very little hair. Whenever anyone would ask about cutting it, I'd throw a fit since it took her so long to grow hair. 3. She is still very happy with it and I'm still loving it. It is kind of freaking me out everytime I walk next to the table and see her braid in a bag sitting there, lol. We'll be mailing it tomorrow. And I have pictures I will post tomorrow. 4. My cold seems to be a sinus problem. Even my eyeballs hurt. 5. I love summer and the kids being out of school. Me and the kids wandered over to the neighbors about an hour and a half ago. I sat and chatted with them while the kids played outside until about 15 minutes ago.

1. One of my aunt's horses, Flicka, died yesterday. 2. She used to be my mom's, but she went to live with my aunt because my mom's other horses didn't play as well with her. She was an old lady and my aunt has a few older, calmer horses. 3. Apparently a bear wandered into the barn and freaked her out- she tried to jump out of the barn through a small window and got hurt. She had some fluid buildup/infection thing going on. They were kind of doing a wait and see thing- the vet came out but they were watching her to see if she needed to be put down. 4. My aunt went out kayaking- before she left she went out and saw Flicka and said she looked good from across the creek, she was eating grass with the other horses. When she got back, later, she looked out and only saw 3 horses. She came across her dead in the creek. She's hoping she just happened to fall there and didn't drown. 5. So that's that- sad. One of her other horses has melanoma. She's the white Arabian, Ivory. She spends her days in the sun, munching on grass, while the rest hang out in the shade. She's pretty old too. 6. 'Nuff with the horse talk. I am going to be a busy girl today with laundry, bills to pay, I need to vacuum out my car after camping, go to the storage unit and empty it the rest of the way (I have a few boxes of books left in there) and take the lock off so they can re-rent it, maybe birthday shop for Tim a little bit (he's going to be 30 next month- I'm going to have SO much fun with this birthday!!!!), then off to work at 4!

1. Early this morning I felt like a "mommy" again. 2. My middle kidlet came downstairs dressed in his casual business attire, ready for his first day of his summer internship with an aerospace company. 3. He looked so handsome as I offered to make him some breakfast. 4. I shared with him that I was feeling like I was sending him off to his first day of middle school. 5. He gave me "the look" and I grinned and said "okay, okay...I'll leave you be.." 6. As he prepared to leave, he called out to me "bye mom, I'm off to middle school"....lol! 7. Unknown to him, I watched him drive away and recalled the time when he was a little toddler just discovering airplanes in sky and being totally fascinated by them. I can hear him now "air-pane-in-the-ki!!". (we didn't know then that he had hearing loss and couldn't hear soft sounds like the letter "s") 7a. If you want it, work hard for it, your dreams can come true. My boy is almost there and I'm so excited for him!

1. Here's a huge "AWWW" for Eggie, how wonderful to see them grow towards their dreams. 2. I'm trying to get my gardens all weeded and those infamous annuals I used as center pieces planted. It's a beautiful day here. 3. One of the girls that grew up with our kids called for a favor, she wants me to help redo their backyard into a garden with benches and walk ways instead of a lawn, as a surprise for her parents while they are away for a week. Her own version of an outdoor " While you were Out". 4. I would adore digging around, planting and planning a garden especially since I won't be spending my own money to do it, yet I hesitate to undertake such a huge project without their knowledge. 5. We agreed that she'll spend the next few days talking it over with them, getting their ideas on how they'd like it and what they would and wouldn't like to have happen. 6. We have a standing joke around here that mom doesn't do laundry. My youngest son Kyle likes me to fold his clothes, he thinks they fit better in his dresser, I can't convince him he could learn to fold better. So he "pays" me to fold his clothes. This is a rather informal payment, he'll run to the store when I've forgotten something for dinner or will go out for ice cream. 7. This past weekend while Tim was running errands I took care of the laundry he had started then text messaged him that I was expecting a present as payment for doing it, I was hoping for ice cream. 8. Tim came home and told me I had to see my surprise in the back of the van. The whole back was filled with flowers! 4 huge hanging baskets for the front porch, two smaller hanging baskets for off the light posts on the parking pad, and 2 flats of large potted Asters for my window boxes. Needless to say I was overwhelmed. I ran in the house to get my camera but the rest of the family unloaded it while I was gone. Have I mentioned lately what a wonderful man I'm married to?

1. What a wonderful suprise! You do have a very special man! 2. Eggie, I love hearing the stories of your kidlets, you radiate the love you have for them. They are who they are because they have you as a mom! 3. Kaili, I'm sorry about Flicka. 4. Jake is taking a soccer class at the community center this week and he LOVES it. I signed him up for this class to see if he really likes to play before I sign him up to play on a team in the fall. 5. We had an amazing thunder/lightning storm the other night as the sun was going down. I saw a full double rainbow and the color of the sky was amazing, it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I tried to take pictures, but they didn't do it justice. 6. Jenna crawled out of her crib for the first time yesterday. Now I am in for it. Suprisingly, when I put her in bed last night she actually stayed there and when I put her down for a nap she stayed there. So far so good. 7. The nice thing is that when she woke up this morning, she crawled out of bed and came downstairs without waking Jake up. Usually, she yells until he wakes up so he can come and lower the side of her bed so she can get out. 8. My kids are growing up too fast! Pretty soon, they will be going off for summer internships. 9. Jake and I just got done gluing together a truck model that we painted yesterday. It is really cute. He got a truck, train and airplane for his birthday, but this is the first one we had done. It was a fun project to do with him. 9.1 Happy Tuesday, Factoiders!

1. I'm sick 2. I started feeling sick when we were at Disneyland on Saturday, but i was hoping I was just worn out and getting old....no such luck. 3. I feel worse today then I did two days ago...phooey 4. My silly little puppy is driving me crazy today. 5. I am addicted to this site POGO 6. I love when I use someone elses computer to get onto TVCH because then I can't use my favorites and I have to search for it using GOOGLE and it gives me a cute reminder that this is where all of my friends are! lol 7. I started a web blog at liveJournal (under the name sillycalimomma of course), but so far I feel like it is just a waste of time 8. I really like Joss Stone....her voice is unbelievable for a young woman her age 9. I get to go to a sneak preview of Bewitched tomorrow night and I can't wait! 10. Ten facts was kind of hard for me this time around

1. We have 10 'cheepies' in our lagoon. Two ducklings with one mama (there had been 10 but now there are only 2); and 8 fresh ones with another mama. I hope all 8 new cheepies can survive. We think it's the crows, sadly.

1. It’s really nasty outside, windy, stormy, and yet it’s hot – 94f. And the wind is blowing hot, not cool at all. I’m expecting I'll be hearing some booming sometime soon. 2. It isn’t official, but I’m about 90% sure I’m ending my relationship with Bob, since it has been rather one-sided for the last 6 weeks or so. I’m almost feeling liberated at the idea, but at the same time sad, because I really do care for him very much. I need to talk to him, but he has been rather absent lately, and I think he’s gone on vacation now, but I don’t know because I figured he would be considerate enough to call and let me know, but alas, I don’t know because I haven’t heard anything from him, and I’ll be damned if I make another call to him. Argh. Seriously, I’m feeling quite okay, not horribly sad, at this point, so that is great progress for me, and I just feel like there is somebody better out there for me who will feel like they’d die without me… LOL!.

2a. SAGE: I am sooooo impressed with you! Good for you for ending the relationship. You saw that it was not going anywhere and rather than sit and do nothing about that, you felt good enough about yourself to not take it. Good for you!!! (ooops I see there is a 10% chance that you aren't going to end it.) Can I give you my 2 cents and encourage you to do so? 2b. There is someone better out there for you. It might take a long while before he finds you, but my advice is to continue to try to be comfortable without anyone! It might be hard for sure, but I think you would better better off by yourself than trying to hang on to someone who really doesn't appreciate you. 2c. You are pretty and sensitive and very very talented. Don't lose sight of that!

1. Tonight's moon was so huge and full...absolutely gorgeous!! Perfect ending to a perfect day I'd say! 2. Egbob and I both got home around the same time from our jobs (7:30pm) and we walked in the house together and told middle kidlet that it's tradition for the new intern to take his proud folks out to dinner. 3. He gave us this awesome "get outta here" smile that just melted my heart! I could tell that he had a really good first day interning in his field of study. 4. We let him pick the restaurant and as we sat at our table, the new intern chatted away about his day. He was so proud and the sparkle in his eyes said it all! 4a. Thanks for allowing me to beam with pride!

1. With great kids like that Eggie, you've reason to beam with pride. Of course, after meeting you, it's no question to me where they get it from! 2. Took the kids shopping today to pick Kota up a couple new outfits since she's outgrown everything she owns. We ran into her kinder teacher, a substitute teacher we see all the time at school, and a friend of the families. She had to show evryone of them her new haircut. She is still in love with her cut and so am I. 3. Second day of summer, kids drove me nuts, lol. I finally had enough by about 5:30pm and sent both of them to their rooms. Our evening was much better than the day. We watched Inspector Gadget together and watched Dakota play dress up. 4. Trying to figure out what to do with them tomorrow. Me and neighbor lady are planning a front yard picnic with our kids sometimes this week or next but I'm not sure what day yet. 5. Darren's mom has been in the process of moving from their old house to the new one. This has been going on for months. However, everytime Darren goes out to help she sends home with him all this stuff she has no need for. I haven't even looked at through the three bags and the box of stuff today she sent home.

Morning all: 1. Going on a class trip with my oldest's daughters class. 2. The trip it to African Lions Safari. The name says it all. They also have a water park and a lot of other things for the kids to do there 3. The steel is just about all done on on the barn roof. It looks good. After that is done, the "curtains" will be put up and the job of the inside work will be started. 4. War, my dd is still flipping her short hair too. It looks so healthy now being short as well. 5. I have run out of facts 6. So I will stop here

1. I enjoy reading about everyone's families, especially kidlets. 2. After a trip to the doctor yesterday, I learned my summer cold is actually a sinus infection and an ear infection in both ears. 3. I'm now on antibiotics and home on a sick day. 4. My ears itch! 5. Tomorrow is my last day of work before summer vacation. I need to go in whether I feel like it or not because I have got things to take care of before leaving for the summer. 6. Rough last week, huh? Although being sick is no fun! 7. Next week I will be at the beach with my family. I'm so excited!
