1. Silly, I love that Raiders picture of your nephew...too cute! Yay for Skootz's grandma!!

2. Today CocoPop, myself and another couple went up to the church camp in the local mountains to "turn the water" off for the winter to come.

3. It was a crisp and gorgeous day up in the mountains, above the heavy foggy/cloudy lowlands.

4. It only took us about 2 hours to take care of the business at hand and I know that CocoPop was in his element helping out in this way.

5. Afterwards, we drove down the mountains and drove into Glen Oaks where we all had a great lunch which included a huge piece of fresh baked apple pie smothered in piping hot cinnamon sauce and topped with lots of vanilla ice cream. Best lunch I've had in a long, long time! Good company too!! I know this is a long fact but I wanted to add that the area of Glen Oaks is known for all the apple orchards and cute little shops!

1. Happy Birthday Buttercup!

2. Coco, sounds like today wa a nice day for ya'll. I haven't been up to any mountains in forever.

3. Caleb went over today to help grandma with yard work. Why does he enjoy chores for everyone else but me? He was busy all day yesterday helping the neighbors set up for the party.

4. Darren and Dakota boo'd the neighbors earlier. Then all of us drove out to my sister's and did her house.

5. Friday we're doing Magic Mountain for our anniversary. We'll drop the kids off at school and leave town, then mom will pick them up and drop them with my sister.

6. Saturday sis and bil have a halloween party to go to so they're dropping all four kids off here.

7. Tonight a friend of ours called. They are also going to the party and wanted to know if I could keep their baby, who's about 5-6 months old, overnight! Heck yeah! This baby's daddy lived with us when sis and I were in high school for awhile, so he's pretty close to being family. I'm totally excited, I get to spend the night with a baby, but also because other than staying with his grandparents for a few hours at a time, this will be the first time the two of them have had a night alone. And I get to keep the baby overnight!

7.5 My thoughts and prayers have been with those in Hurricane Wilma's path.

1. Had a great time at my Grandmas party yesterday.

2. This picture really captures my Grandma - doesn't she look awesome for her age (99)
1

3. DD lost her 2nd tooth last night just before bed time.

4. She woke up this morning with a looney (dollar coin) under her pillow

5. She cannot figure how the tooth fairy got it there as she was dreaming all night that she would feel the tooth fairies hand under her pillow

6. She is very excited

7. DD #1 decided that we should set up video survailance to catch the tooth fairy in the act

8. I think we will have to tell them, the next time they lose a tooth, that if we set up a video to tape the tooth fairy, she just may not show up

1. Skootz your mom looks great! Happy 99th birthday to her!

2. Got Dakota's dr appt for 10:45 this morning.

3. Left way earlier than I needed to and didn't realize how early til I pulled up at the school. So I took the baby and ran to walmart.

4. Came home to change out of my sweatshirt and had neighbor lady asking if I could pick her kid up from jr high cuz she was sick. Told her I could but the poor kid would have to go with me cuz by then Dakota's appt was in 20 minutes.

5. Race over and get Dakota, run over to the jr high and get the neighbor kid, by then we're running late. Finally get there at 10:55.

6. Set in the waiting room for almost an hour. All three girls were good. Then we get called back. Dakota waits til the dr is walking in the door to climb under the exam table so here I am dragging her out as the dr walks in. Set her on the table, turn to talk to the dr, then turn back around and find Dakota standing on it!

7. I'm totally embarrassed, the doctor just laughs and says the prednisone is kicking in (thats that hyper side effect!)

8. Dr checks Dakota out, says her lungs sound good, but her nose is a mess. Refills our prescription for flonase, and the albueterol mix for the nebulizer. She wants Dakota to use the nebulizer 2-3 times a day instead of the inhaler for awhile.

9. Leave there and rush Kota back to school cuz by then it was lunch time. Bring the neighbor girl home and run the baby to Carl's Jr to get her lunch. Came home and she started to eat. She laid her head down on the arm of the couch and passed out cold, holding a half eaten chicken star in one hand and her cup of juice sitting in her lap. She's sharing the cold, so isn't feeling too well today either.

1.2 Ack sorry Skootz, blame the cold meds, lol. I told the dr earlier that Kota was taking 3 tablespoons of prednisone a day. She stared at me for a minute, then asked me if I meant teaspoons, lol! I actually did know it was 3 teaspoons since I'd read the bottle six times and called the pharmacist to check that because I'd never given her that much of anything before. Yup, it's just the cold meds.

1. That is such a cute picture, Skootz! Happy Birthday to your grandma!

2. It makes me miss my grandmas. One of them never got to meet my kids and she would have adored them.

1. Rained all day from the effects of the hurricane. All is well here in SC, though.
2. My dgd, Noelle, was in a swim meet Saturday. SHe has been on the swim team for 4 years now. She finally came in first! SHe did it on the 100. She was in 4 events and placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. Most of the time in the past years, she has been last. She is so proud of herself and so are we!
3. Yesterday, we went to church. Afterwards, we bought bagels and cream cheese for brunch. Anyone else like bagels and cream cheese?

1. Bagels and cream cheese are great. I particularly like onion bagels.

2. Skootz, your grandma has beautiful skin at 99!

3. Once at around 10 months old my youngest son decided to have a temper tantrum on the floor next to me as I was doing dishes. I squirted some cold water on him when he wasn't looking and kept busy, seemingly ignoring his tirade. He never had another tantrum.

4. Tomorrow will be another cool day here. Yay.

1. Mornings, bleck.

2. I love bagels and cream cheese. My favorite bagels are the everything bagels.

3. Skootz, loved the picture of your grandmother. Happy birthday to her!

4. I got melancholy last night and still feel a bit blue this morning. I am just missing the sun, I think. I hate how it gets dark early this time of year and to think it will be even worse after this weekend makes me feel blah. I'll get over it.

5. I had to bake brownies last night and will bake more tonight for a workshop we are hosting tomorrow. Brownie batter is possibly the best tasting food in the world.

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday. :-)

1. Last night when I hoofed it up to the 6th floor of the West parking lot, I found that I had a flat tire.

2. I got inside my car, opened my purse...only to discover I didn't have my cell phone with me.

3. I hoofed it down 6 flights of stairs and went back into my building....taking the elevator up to the 4th floor, where my office is located.

4. I called AutoClub because dh was still in another part of town and not home yet. AutoClub tells me it would be an hours wait maximum. Okay...so I give exact directions where I'm located and that I'll be standing outside the main entrance of the West parking structure.

5. An hour passes, no AutoClub. Security knows I'm there and stopped to check in with me once again. I mention AutoClub not showing up. Oh! says Security, an AutoClub guy came about 45 minutes ago but to the East parking structure.
DOH!

6. I walk back into my building, take the elevator up to the 4th floor to my office and call dh to come rescue me because I know he's home by this time. He's such a good, good man and I've come to truly appreciate him in our old codger years.

Happy Tuesday Factoiders!!

1. Something I've learned in therapy is that you have to ask for what you need. So I'm asking for some lovin'.
2. I've been feeling really blue and invisible lately. I guess it's those winter blues approaching. Bleck!
3. I know this is just a stage I go through each year, but it always feels so new and crummy.
4. I sound like a big baby whiner don't I?
5. Sowry!
6. Coco, sorry you had to wait for such a long time for your tire to get fixed. I can imagine that you were MORE then ready to get home and relax. You are such a patient and kind person. I would have probably been bitchin'.
7. I hope this week goes by quickly and that next week is a better happier one. Oh and my favorite new color is celery green. I've noticed that color is in my wardrobe, ALOT!!

1. I always think that RG is a beautiful "together" woman! BIG HUG!

2. We are in the cranky time of the semester. Everyone has too much work and not enough time. People are sick, tired and just cranky.

3. Happens every fall---no break until Thanksgiving and heavy marching band season is hard on the music majors.

4. I can breathe today, and hope to get rid of the low grade fever soon.

5. JujuKitty is getting braver. Even knocked on the window in the door for food this morning. Still no petting or touching, but little JujuKitty will be within a foot of me now. Especially when chowing down.

6. Put Vaseline on Ellie's paws. She didn't mind it, which surprised me. Still haven't heard a good meow out of her yet, but I switched the food to a hairball control kind.

7. It's jammie day today. But I will probably go in to file a grant and make two scans to finish a paper. There is a recital tonight, too.

8. It is certainly fall here! The maple trees are vivid with color. My deck is covered with pretty maple leaves. I should take a picture, but I don't know where my camera is.

9. I really like onion bagels with cream cheese and olives. I know it's an odd combination, but YUMMMM!

1. hermi, i made brownies last night, too! they were for me though. lol! i agree about the batter, i love it...hell, i just love the powder mix...i pick out the big lumps and eat them. mmmmm, it's so good!

2. RG, sorry you are feeling down. know you are very loved around here.

3. i have been a bit depressed myself lately, but it's mostly because of lola's hurt legs. and figuring out how i'm gonna pay for all of her shit and my cruise, airfare, playing money for the cruise, etc. money sucks. :-(

4. work sucks, too! no, not really work. just the stupid people at work. my job really isn't so bad.

5. it has finally turned into fall around here. it was pretty brisk today. and by brisk, i mean cold. it was in the 80's last week i think...this morning it was 31 degrees! ack!

6. i bought lola a cute little pink sweater at petsmart last night, for when i take her out to potty. i spent more on that damn sweater than i probably would on one for myself. aren't you all glad she's not spoiled?

7. it actually is recommeneded to put sweaters on them when it's below 40 and they go outside. they get cold very easily.

8. speaking of lola, she seems to be in less pain, but she's still limping. poor baby! i think i grow to love that little dog more every day. she's been so good lately. we have only had TWO accidents (potty accidents) in the last week. that is really something for her.

9. macy (kitty) is even warming up to her! she's a big, mean cat, who's pretty set in her ways (she's 5 years old, and it's just been her and i til lola came along) and i didn't think she'd ever love her, only tolerate, but i can tell she's starting to like her. yay! :-)

10. i don't care much for bagels myself. to me they taste like stale bread. blech!

1. The kids school is planning a simulated earthquake on Monday. They get to leave class at 1 and go sit out on the field for an hour. Some of the kids will be taken and hidden with "injuries" so the fire department and school employees can search for them. Older kids will be runners to go get younger kids when their parents arrive. And we will be sitting out there waiting to get them. I'm supposed to pick them up at 2:10, but after last years simulation where it was almost 4 before we got home, I plan to be over there standing in line at 1! It's a great idea, but after the complications last time we did this there was so many frustrated parents and school employees it was one huge mess. They're supposed to have spent the last few months working out the kinks, so hopefully it'll go much smoother this time.

1. I am wondering how safe it could be for hundreds of kids to sit in a field for an hour during a real earthquake! Maybe I'm missing some key point.

2. We have to do fire drills at home, as well as yearly inspections by the fire marshall.
