1. I'm on my way to your folder after I'm done here, Silly, lol. 2. We had a blast! Ok, most of it was a blast. 3. I love roller coasters. I love going to Magic Mountain kidless cuz we can ride all the coasters we want and I can laugh and giggle and scream as I'm going up and down and over and under. However, today we tried X, the one that not only does ups and downs and spinning rounds, but the seats flip at the same time. At one point the damn thing goes upside down, sending you in your seat face first towards the ground. I hated it! I watched that ride with dread the whole time we were in line and as soon as we got on I sat there in a panic waiting to get off! I don't mind flipping over, but face first was more than I could handle! 4. Their fright fest stuff was fun. We did all the mazes they had, the haunted house was the best as there were a couple times they truly surprised us. The blood and gore one was just plain silly, we laughed through most of it. 5. It was nice to go somewhere we could hold hands for a change, lol. With kids we don't get to do that a whole lot, not to mention just being able to talk to each other about silly, not really important stuff and be goofy with each other. It was a great way to spend an early anniversary. 6. Course now after climbing the dang mountain all day my knee is absolutely killing me. I have no idea why that knee bothers me so much but it has been for the past year or so. 7. Tomorrow morning we're going to go to breakfast and go buy each other a small gift to celebrate. We decided to take each other this year, lol. Then early afternoon I'm going to do some housework and laundry and get ready for a housefull of kids while Darren does the grocery shopping for me. Once the kids all get here, he's going to take Caleb, Dakota, and my oldest neice to the pumpkin patch so they can carve pumpkins tomorrow night. He has instructions to buy youngest neice a small one so she can paint it since she's to young to carve.

1. I haven't been in here in weeks. I went to a conference in Kansas City last weekend and was gone from Wednesday through Sunday. I gave a presentation at K-State on Wednesday which was nice. 2. There are parts of Kansas that are so pretty. It is just not the kind of scenery you'd expect from Kansas. Who knew?! And the K-State campus is about 4 times bigger than the town I grew up in as a kid. That is unbelieavable. 3. DH is now serving his time as a reserve pilot, which means he sits in his crash pad in Atlanta waiting to be called. Or waiting not to be called. Either way, he isn't here. . We hope this will only last a couple of months (this month and next) before there are enough new pilots behind him to bump him up. He'll then bid on nap lines, which will mean he is home a lot more. 3. We're trying to put a financial plan into place that will help us make some much needed headway into getting things paid off. We'd like to start a family in a year or year and a half, but we don't want to do that with mounds of monthly payments. 4. One of our strategies is that we are going to sell my car and keep his truck. His truck is paid for and runs great. It doesn't get great gas mileage, but we can rent a car for far less than a monthly car payment for when we travel to Texas to see family. So, if you know of anyone who needs a great car, I have one for sell. It is a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander (the room of an SUV with the gas mileage of a car!). I have pictures and we can even deliver it anywhere in the U.S. 5. The Mary Kay business continues to grow, though not as fast as I'd prefer. I get impatient and I realize each day how terrible I am at marketing. I'm not a hard salesperson, I just want people to know how wonderful the products are and get them if they want them. 6. Toby is doing great lately. He is back to his old self. He barks at everything, lays in the window like he used to, and has lost some weight. Henry acted like he didn't feel good the other day, but I gave him some Rimadyl and he seems fine now. His neck or back looked like it was hurting him. 7. We planted our replacement trees in the last month. We have three huge trees in the backyard and a new one in the front yard. All of the trees we worked so hard to plant in April died. The drainage in our yard was out of whack thanks to our jack*** neighbor. So, when we re-planted, we had to build them up and spend about $350 building retaining walls. So far, so good. 8. I was going to a costume Halloween party tonight, but my friend has a sick relative out of town, so she left this morning. I'm disappointed because we were going to dress up as Hooter's girls. DH is disappointed, too. He was looking forward to the pics

1. I'm finally home after an extended stay in Nebraska. 2. I was planning on coming home Wednesday, but my little brother had a football game way out in McCook Nebraska on Thursday night, He wanted me to come, so I said, why not? 3. Thursday, I drove out to Holdrege, NE with my grandparents. I rode up to the game with my birth mom and some other football mom's and little bro's girlfriend. 4. They ended up losing, but it was nice to see him play. He's a helluva kicker.. Couple weeks ago, kicked a 45 yard field goal, then made athlete of the week on the news. 5. As a little quick note as to not have any confusion, I was adopted and have found both my birth mother and birth father. Wouldn't you know, they all have boys, no girls.. No sisters.. LOL 6. This weekend is a relaxing weekend at home without my parents. 7. Our puppies really missed us! Went crazy when we got home. 8. On the 4th, DH and I are going to the batallion ball. I'll s hare photos. 9. Must go make DH waffles now. yummmmmmmm.. (Spygirl, good to hear from you!!)

1. Have not been here in quite a while. 2. I am probably in the most pain I have ever been in my life, my knee is in agony and I hope I make it till November 9th for the surgery. 3. I found out My cousin Barbara's lung cancer is very bad and very advanced. They say if she does not have Chemo she will be gone in 6 months. And with Chemo, who knows .... 4. Spoke to everyone I know in Florida and they are devastated down there, Boynton Beach, Delray, Coral Springs. Really really bad. 5. Amy is going food shopping for me today. She was nuts, but she is a good friend. LOL 6. Ok, I know I am really depressing lately, I need to get out of this. 7. So, I am going to try to post positive things 8. I am eating vegetable soup right now. 9. Spy's car sounds like a good deal 10. Looks like I am not going to move to Florida LOL. I don't wanna deal with the weather issues.

1. gads I went to Lawrence today - forgot it was KU/MU game day. CRIKEY the traffic going into town as I was headed out (thank goodness I was going the opposite way). Nothing like the annual civil war football battle to bring people to Lawrence in droves.

1. Oh boy, I have way more than one fact to share! I'm going to cheat, lol! 2. We started off this morning about 7:30. I got to work cleaning the house in preperation for having five kids tonight and tomorrow. I was crawling on the floor from one end of the house to the other looking for anything at all that a five month old could stick in his mouth! 2.1 About 9, my neighbor called up and said they were having a birthday/halloween party for their oldest, bring the kids over in their costumes. Said sure, and then I sent Darren with a list to go shopping for tights for Kota's costume and a birthday gift for the neighbors kid. As he was walking out the door, he actually pouted at me and said this was our anniversary weekend and we should be doing something together. 2.2 I got back to work cleaning, but then though ya know what? he's right! So when he got home I was ready to go. We ran out to the mall and wandered around looking for anniversary gifts. I'd told him awhile back I wanted a new bracelet. We looked at the different jewelery stores and finally I decided on a 1/4 carat diamond, white gold bracelet, I love it! It's very me, not to big or too flashy. 2.3 Darren, true to his nature, got an X box, lol. He loves it. And Caleb is absolutely thrilled. He walked through the house when he got home chanting, "I got an x box, I got an x box." Darren was kind enough to offer to let him play it and the two of them sat here for a couple hours tonight having a blast. 2.5 Bil and our friend dropped off the hugest, chubbiest, double chinned, fat roll on his fingers and toes, five month old baby I've ever seen. He is sooo cute! I'm totally in love, lol. The last time I saw him he was not this chubby. 2.5 My friend, who I've known just about forever and is pretty much a part of the family brought evrything the baby owns over, lol. He pulled out a bottle and the formula and was demonstrating how to make it. With new parents, I rarely remind them I do know what I'm doing, so I just kept my mouth shut. About half way through he finally looked at me and went, "Oh, wait, you've done this before." Hehe, I just grinned at him. First time parent who's never left his baby overnight he was a wee bit nervous. I told him all I really needed to know was: the last time he ate, how much he eats, what time does he go to bed, and how long will he sleep. I can figure out the rest. 2.6 Not only is he totally cute, he is the sweetest and cuddliest little thing. He sat in my lap just cooing and gooing and drooling. I feel a little jipped though, lol. within about 20 minutes of getting here he got fussy. I changed his diaper and put him in jammies, then fed and burped him and he went to sleep! Right now I'm just waiting for his 1am feeding so I can pick him up again, lol. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when he's wide awake and I can play with him. 2.8 Tomorrow, Dakota, Caleb, and my oldest niece are going to carve their pumpkins. We got the baby two little tiny pumpkins that I'm going to let her color with markers. 2.9 They also have to decorate outside for Halloween. Yep, we're late this year, lol. I figure we'll leave the decs up for a week or so before taking them down. 2.10 Also tomorrow the kids and I have to finish up the halloween necklaces for all the kids who will be at the party and go trick or treating as a group with us on Monday.

1. The baby woke up a little after midnight in a fantastic mood. 2. I changed, fed, and burped him and the little stinker went right back to sleep! I was feeling rather put out, I've been looking forward to holding and playing with him for a week and all he's done is sleep, lol. 3. Put him back in his crib and he slept for a bit then I heard him gooing and looked over and he was wide awake. He didn't need to be changed or burped, wasn't hungry...the little sweetie just wanted to be held! Maybe it's just that its been awhile since we've had a baby around, but he seems awfully easy to please.

1. I went out tonight with a former student and her friends and while we were in the bar, our car windows were busted and my purse and makeup bag were stolen. 2. Luckily, it was my "extra" purse, so all they got was a near-empty purse. But they got my entire makeup bag. I can't remember if there was anything else of importance in my brown purse, but knowing that they got about $75 worth of Mary Kay products and compacts....it is so disconcerting. 3. The entire window of my husband's truck is busted out and I came home and cried for an hour. It is very violating to be stolen from, although it could have been so much worse. I'm glad it wasn't worse, but still.....

1. Spy, I'm so sorry to learn of your violation! I'm glad that you or your friends weren't harmed in any way, yet I do understand how upsetting this was for you, so in a way, you were harmed. 2. I've been getting all my medical check ups done these past 2 weeks with more to come...ugh! 3. The next on my agenda is to get my eye check up and probably stronger lenses for the upclose stuff (I don't like getting old eyes!). 4. Then after that, I go to the place where they compress because they care! It's mammogram time...yikes!

1. ((((SPY)))) 2. I know just how you feel - it IS violating! My mom's Blazer was broken in to one night while we were staying in a hotel. Nothing too valuable was stolen but I remember that my absolute favorite Penn State sweatshirt was taken and I cried like a baby for hours. Then I felt sick, then I felt angry. It's a sucky thing to go through. 3. Hiya Coco! 4. Me and Max are vegging today. Steve is out helping a friend of his move some furniture. I had to remind him nicely that yes, we are still on our "honeymoon" and to not be all day. He promised to be home by 2pm. We'll see... 5. I'm trying to download a bunch of pictures to my Walmart account so we can get prints made and ready to be picked up tomorrow. I go back to school on Tuesday night and they demanded photos upon my return. Now, if only Walmart would cooperate!

1. sorry about your break in, spy! i've also been broken into before, too. my very first spankin' brand new car (a 1996 chevy cavalier) got broken into one night when i was at work in my college days at a mall. they stole my very cheap factory radio. i had bought the car in june and that happened in november. it sucks! people are despicable! 2. i had a good day yesterday...went to buy some curtains for the living room and found some that i liked. now just have to hang them up! 3. also went to a halloween party at my best friend from high schools' parents home. i was dressed as a black cat. i'm going to edit the photo and put it in the appropriate thread later. i love halloween, it's my next favorite holiday after christmas. 4. lola was sick all day yesterday. and night. i had to get up with her at 3:30 this morning and sit with her through a throw up. it's awful. she hasn't kept anything down in 24 hours now. it's scary, but she's also acting like her normal self, so at least she doesn't feel bad. 5. she also DOES NOT like pepto bismol. i have to shove my finger in between her teeth to put the syringe-full of it in her mouth. i can't even put my fingers on her jaws to unlock them. she figured that one out pretty quick. she's no dummy! 6. now she is scavenging for food, but i'm scared to feed her. i made her some rice, but she won't eat that, it is suggested to feed them bland food like chicken and rice, but i don't have any chicken, so i'll have to get some before i can feed her some. cleaning up vomit sucks. bad. 6.3 hi coco and mrsfroggie!

1. War, I hope you get some quality baby-time! 2. Spy, I know that feeling of violation with car window AND being burglarized twice.. horrible. 3. Last burglary they must have been waiting for my moving van to pull away and came in and got lots of stuff but made even more of a mess. I was so glad I had the most important things moved (the cat, the computer, a phone and I moved the night before the moving van. 4. Coco, good for you for getting all that maintenance done! 5. Hi Mrs Froggie! Hope he hurried home and Walmart cooperated. 6. Jbean, Lola might eat some baby rice cereal.. 7. Hope Lola Bean is feeling much better very soon. 8. Here it is dark; feels like it has been dark for hours.

1. I hear thunder! 2. I got to pet JujuKitty the other day...just a quick one while she was eating. She is getting braver and mews at me. 3. I have a concert tomorrow night. Phantom of the Opera with the whole orchestra in costume. Rehearsal went much better tonight. 4. I had a great time on Saturday evening and this morning with my friends and their four kids (oldest one is 4.5) 5. They had a naked baby baptism and sat him in the font. A little different, but historical roots. 6. I got to have quality time with each of the four kids. 7. We got to exchange NYC stories! That was fun! 8. I get observed tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous but I don't know why! 9. I paid $2.30 for gas this afternoon! HAPPY REFORMATION (and HALLOWEEN) everyone!

1. Spy I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I am very glad you weren't in the car when it happened! 2. Didn't get much baby time this morning. His parents picked him up at 8am. They weren't too sure how long to leave him and didn't want to impose. I told them not to be silly and he was welcome to come visit anytime they needed some free time. 3. They asked if I'd babysit the next time they want to go out. 4. Today seemed to just drag by. Think it's the time change. Everyone got up early and went to bed early. 5. We decorated for Halloween today and carved pumpkins. Kids did a great job. 6. It was nice enough to sit outside and do the pumpkins. While we were out there we attracted a crowd, lol. Several of the kids friends came by to watch and talk. 7. If our weather stays predictible, tomorrow afternoon will be our last warm weather, and tomorrow night should be freezing. Today, kids out in shorts, boys with no shirts, tomorrow night, we'll be wearing coats, gloves and hats, lol. 8. I so need to go grocery shopping. I've got a freezer full of meat, but not much else. I did run out this evening and picked up enough for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Guess I'll have to do that tomorrow. 9. I've got a ton of housework and laundry to do too. Didn't get much done this weekend, though we had a great weekend! 10. Next weekend will be our last parties for awhile. My youngest neice turns two and the neighbors youngest boy is having his late birthday party. We'll be clear til Thanksgiving.

1. We are back from San Francisco 2. I hurt my ankle yesterday-very badly 3. Well, I actually didn't hurt it....the ex was jumping from one bed to the other (acting like the typical "boy" who can't grow up) and used my ankle (unknowingly since it was under the blankets) as his launching pad. Owwwww
