1. We have had heat here too. Monday it was 98 at my house. Too hot too early here in Portland! Some parts of the Oregon Coast hit the mid-90's. 2. I have been wargodding my house all morning as I have been putting off chores since it is so blazin' hot. I just took a break for lunch, now that I am done I am having a hard time getting up out of this chair! 3. Happy Birthday, Crzndeb!! 4. I buy my own flowers too. I just love having them around. I buy one big bouquet and split it up into lots of little ones and put them around the house. Sometimes Jenna picks me dandelions or daisies and I put those out too. 5. I can't wait for Lost tonight! I just saw a commercial and it looks great! Looking forward to TAR too. Hmmmmm, I wonder if I can my DH into going to Cold Stone to get us a treat to eat while we watch..... }

1. Hi Liss! 2. I just realized it's almost 1:30 am. I have no idea why the heck I'm still up this late on a school night! ACK! 3. We got Caleb's midterm progress report yesterday. A's, B's and a C, and then a D+ in math. Sigh. 4. He said at least it's a high D! 5. I've got an appointment next week to discuss this with his teacher. Monday he brought home a math test he failed. After looking it over we realized once again it was all silly mistakes he'd made from rushing through and not checking his work. Unless things have changed a great deal since I was in school 1+1 does not equal six! His teacher noted on the progress report that Caleb's only problem with math is that he rushes through the tests. I'm not quite sure what can be done but we have to get something going! 6. We had a massive thunder and lightening storm earlier with a great deal of rain in a very short amount of time. 7. Lightening struck a transformer down the street and blew out power on one half of the neighborhood. We still had power but spent awhile outside chatting with neighbors who had lost it. There were also several grass fires caused by the lightening out in the desert away from populated areas.

#1 Our daughter, Brianna, graduates from Purchase College tomorrow. I'm so excited for her and proud of her. She studied Theater Costume and has already had 8 job offers. #2 Our son, Kyle, and FDIL, Dannielle, are now finished for the year with their college. Life gets so crazy during finals weeks around here. #3 Going to graduation tomorrow is going to be hectic since we also have to move 4 years of accumulated stuff and a pet turtle. #4 Riley is going to graduation with us since it's out doors. He's getting groomed today so he's very handsome. #5 Tim just shook his head at me since I just had to buy Riley a new carrier and matching harness and leash. #6 I'm very excited that all my chicks will be back in the nest for the summer. I'm counting on all of you to remind me of that when I complain about the mess they make. #7 I haven't made the announcement since we don't have any firm dates yet, but our son, Devin's Iraqi deployment will be over shortly. #8 It's been a long stressful year I'm expecting a fun filled and relaxing summer.

1. SS, ya'll have a fun and safe trip! Tell Bri I said congratulations! 2. I am sitting here anxiously waiting for the phone to ring. 3. Earlier today my little adopted sister went to the dr for a baby check up. They had her hooked up to the monitors and while there she had a contraction and the baby's heart rate dropped. 4. They rushed her to the hospital by ambulance and we all went running. 5. Long story short she's been there all day hooked up and having tests but the baby's heart rate has stayed up and normal. 6. A couple hours ago I got a call that they decided to induce labor because that way if the baby's heart rate drops she's right there and they can do a c-section. Talked to her a few minutes ago and they still haven't started the meds to induce yet. 7. I was supposed to be there with them. But we decided that 2 things will keep me home tonight. #1. Baby probably won't come til at least sometimes tomorrow if they still haven't started the meds and #2. My bil may have to drop off the girls at 4am so he can go to work. Sis is staying at the hospital because she's supposed to be in the room when the baby's born and no ones willing to take the chance she might miss it. 8. Have I mentioned lately how great my neighbors are? I rushed over to explain what was going on and could they take the kids to school cuz I'm not counting on any sleep tonight. She told me that after she takes ours to school if I have my nieces to drop them off and she'd watch them so we wouldn't have to worry about finding them a sitter. She's watched them before so everyone from sis and bil to the girls to the neighbor is comfortable with her babysitting and she's got two little ones at home about the same ages so the kids keep each other busy. 9. My emotions are bouncing back and forth between totally excited (I'm going to have a new nephew!) to being worried and nervous since she really scared us today. When I talked to her awhile ago she was completely calm and wishing they'd hurry up and get started. Since she knows the baby will be here soon she is starting to get a little impatient to get him here now.

1. back is hurting today but not as much as yesterday. 2. gorgeous weather (and i'm at work) 3. 1 week to Mayhem in the Midlands (Omaha) 4. I should be working. 5. I discovered a screw up I made two weeks ago, pardon me while I bash head against wall for being a doofus. 6. TGIF! 7. keeping toes crossed for your adopted sis wargod. 8. Still getting used to the new downstairs cubicle at work, I keep trying to walk into the wrong cube. 9. Tomorrow is weed the garden day (a continuation of last weekend). 10. Last weekend I was an idiot and forgot to wear gloves while using a trowel, lesson learned from the blister I got on my hand last weekend.

1. Wargod's baby news, lol? 1.5 I'm going to be an auntie today! Her water broke earlier, pitocin has kicked in and hard though she still has a while to go (only 4-5 cms deleted.) They didn't start nothing til this morning. 2. I'm heading out now to pay my bills and then go by the hospital. Then I have to get laundry done, packed to leave, and Costco shopping this afternoon. I'll do some minor cleaning around the house then grocery shopping tonight. Kids are going to my sisters early tomorrow so I'll have most the day to clean clean the house.

1. I found the games section here at TVCH and am having a blast. Little breeze has made me feel very welcome there. 2. My car died this morning and I don't have the money to pay for towing or to fix it. I was going to wait and go carless til next week (when I get paid) but when I called my mechanic to get an idea of cost and told him my deliemma he said no way could he let me wait til next week without a car and sent the tow truck right over, he's gonna fix it and give it back and told me I could pay him next week. I love my mechanic, it pays to find one you trust and stick with him! 3. Happy friday to everyone I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

1. I'm an auntie! For the 7th time and just as excited as I was the first. 2. Littlest nephew was born at 7:37 pm and weighed 6lbs, 8 oz. He has hair too. Mommy and baby are both healthy and doing well, though mommy's totally exhausted! 3. I'm going to go over again in the morning after I drop the kids off to visit for a bit. They plan on making cards in the morning for me to take her. 4. I also have to finish cleaning up the house (not much left now except to change the sheets on the beds and mopping/vacuuming the floors.) Have to do a little more shopping because I forgot a few things today, then gas up the car and run through the car wash before picking up mil and then Darren and leaving for Vegas. Oh, and I have to finish up two more loads of laundry tonight. Considering everything else thats gone on this week, I think I'm doing pretty good, lol!

1. Congrats to your ds and your dd, Lady! 2. Tell ya what, you come here and have a little chat with Caleb about a certain math grade and I'll come clean your house. 3. Yesterday while we were waiting at the hospital to make sure little adopted sis and the baby were ok, her fil was scratching a lottery ticket. He called my sis over and asked her to rub it for him cuz she's always winning. 4. I told her since we were going to Vegas to give me a rub, lol! She rubbed my head and told me I'd win. 5. This morning I had no food in the house and only a $10 bill so I ran by the store before school to get change for the kids lunch money. I bought a $1 lottery ticket (I never win, never and rarely play.) I won $6. Took it back and got a couple more tickets. I won $5 on each of them. I'm quitting while I'm ahead, lol. I'm taking little adopted sis a gift for herself tomorrow, a bath gel/lotion set so I'm going to get $10 in scratchers. Maybe she'll win big and if not, it'll give her a little something to do while she's in the hospital. 6. We're supposed to have a major storm here this weekend. It was hot and humid earlier and once the sun went down it got a little chilly. We've been having thunder and lightening for a couple hours now, but no rain yet.

#1 YAY! The girl got graduated! LOL, what a long trip in terrible rain, followed by a long ceremony in terrible rain and mud. But, she's done it, she's a college grad. #2 I didn't know I was going to be bawling like a baby when they called her name. I didn't even bring tissues. The rest of my family knew I would, they all handed me a tissue, it was kinda funny. #3 We then had to pack her apartment, pick out what was her's from 4 room mates, half packed stuff. What a mess. #4 Why did 90% of the apartment have to be filled with Brianna's stuff? LOL, geez what would those girls have lived on if not for her? We had to leave the couch for the dumpster, no room in the truck to bring it home. Luckily we got it at a used furniture place. #5 Devin surprised his sister by calling her from Iraq. That was a special miracle since he can't always get to the phone at right time. #6 Riley had a grand time being spoiled by everyone, he behaved so well during the ceremony. Bri then proceeded to hold him in all the group pictures. He is one spoiled puppy. #7 We finally got home near midnight last night and what was waiting for me in the mail but a jury summons! ACK!

1. i feel like hell today. i have a cold. it's near 90 degrees outside and i have a COLD! every time i get a cold i forget how much stuff can come out of one person's nose. i hate it! i'd rather be throwing up sick than to have a cold. so miserable. 2. last night was the relay for life and the weather was PERFECT for once. it was still 73 degrees when we left around midnight. my friend and i were the only ones who showed up for our team for any good amount of time. we had fun anyway. thank you so much to everyone here who supported me. i appreciate it so much. 3. today was the presale for the MO state fair...some of the acts hadn't even been announced to the general public yet, but luckily i signed up for the newsletter. we are going to see carrie underwood and big and rich. i scored 3rd row center seats for both shows! yay for finally having some good luck. 4. here in a bit, i'm going to go see the davinci code movie. i hope it's not sold out. surely not. 5. next week is only a 4 day work week for me. we are off on friday before memorial day, and also on memorial day, so that means another 4 day work week. i could so get used to that. 6. i am taking zicam, airborne, and a decongestant. you'd think i'd be getting some kind of relief sometime....sigh. 7. can you tell i don't make a good sick person? 8. i tried the new mcdonald's asian salad, and i love it! it's SO good!

I always get anxious about conversation... what if we have nothing to say?? 5. These are the times that I wish I could still have a beer. 6. I need to go get pretty soon. 7. I wish I could wave a magic wand and get my house clean, LOL. 8. I can't think of anything to say. That is not a good sign for the evening ahead. 9. I wonder if I will go 3 for 3 on kissing?
