1. I'm ending my day trying to get caught up on the board. A full circle in the facts thread. 2. You know, life is good. Its not perfect, not great, but its good, and for today, that is a really wonderful thing and I just wanted to say that. I really want to sing it, but my family has a difficult enough time listening to me read and laugh out loud around here, singing would put them over the edge. Fondly Wappy

1. One set of our neighbors, a married couple and their son, sold their house and moved last week. We're going to miss them, they are nice folks and their son is a friend of the kids. We've known for over a year they were wanting to, but it didn't make it any easier seeing new people at their house! Haven't met the new neighbors yet. 2. Caleb's track season ended Thursday. He came home Friday and told me now they have basketball tryouts on Monday, lol. About the only time I've seen him play basketball is with the neighbor kids across the street once in a while. 3. Bought my one bag of halloween candy today. I need to figure out what I have to take to the party for the potluck too. We've been teasing our uncle (who has no kids of his own) that Halloween night we're going to make him take the kids trick or treating while we all hang out at the house, lol. I think it's a great idea, he doesn't!

1. Neighbors littlest girls birthday party is next weekend. Four of their kidlets have October birthdays (the fifth is a new years eve baby.) Up until this year, they've always done one big birthday party, but the two older ones (16 and 13) have gotten to the point they don't really want to share with the little ones (5 and 3) anymore. Has kept us busy this month! 2. We met the new neighbors today. At least the dad. I'd made some halloween cookies the kids decorated and as usual made up a plate to take to the neighbors in my #1 fact. She usually sends stuff she knows we like over for us, like lumpia so I send cookies. 3. Anyways, as I was making up the plate for them, Dakota mentioned we should take some to the new neighbors and welcome them to the neighborhood. I thought it was nice of her to think about it, and I admit I hadn't, so we went over and took some cookies. Older couple with at least one older teen age son. I was kinda hoping they had younger kids. 4. I've been sleeping like crap again. Not only awake this late on a school night but tossing and turning, weird dreams, waking up all night long. I can't remember the last time I had a decent nights sleep.

1. I am getting all of my travel plans for November lined up. Omaha, Nebraska; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Cologne, Germany. I have everything set except for the plane and hotel to Cologne. I just this morning got the nicest email from the archives there giving me permission to work there! WHOO HOO! All of my handouts for the conferences and travel documents are going into colored folders. 2. My parents are coming down to help me close the pool on Saturday. It actually dipped below freezing this morning. BRR! 3. I am happy to report that the heat is on in my office! AND the water and electricity are working well at home! WHEW! 4. I am going to stay in a hotel the next two nights to try to get some writing done. I keep getting distracted here. Maybe it will work, maybe not! 5. I've really got to get some paperwork finished today! It is my 12-hour day today, so hopefully I can get that last plane ticket bought and lost of paperwork finished.

1. I'm sitting here freezing my rear off! We're under a sever weather warning tonight (or rather, this morning from 3-9am.) Freezing temps! In October! 2. My nieces will be spending the night with us Saturday. 3. We're going to do a whole Halloween theme thing. Sugar cookies decorated with pumpkins and ghosts, pumpkin carving, and watching Monster House. Plus the litte neighbor girls birthday party. Should be a fun (and busy) day! 4. My little boy is growing up. He's got a lecture coming up soon at school on puberty (we've got one coming up to discuss the puberty lecture in a week or two.) How the heck did that happen?? 5. Today he came and sat down next to me, all boy smelling and sweaty. He's always been a sweaty kid and what little boys don't have a certain odor, lol? But, he's a little older now and he does good with daily showers and grooming himself (clips his own nails, brushes, flosses, etc.) So I told him we were going to the grocery store for some milk and that we'd check out the deodorant. We went to it like it was the most important task in the world, LOL. We musta sniffed 30 different scents trying to find something that wasn't too grown up for him and didn't make one of us, or both, gag. Finally settled on an Irish Spring scent since it matches the soap he likes. When Darren got home, Caleb asked him to show him how to use it, made Darren go in the other room cuz he didn't want to do it in front of us girls. Then Caleb came and lifted his arm and made me smell him. Gotta love boys. 6. We ran into the old neighbors at the grocery store today. Dad said their son is miserable, he hasn't found any kids his own age around their new neighborhood yet. They're planning on coming over on Saturday so he can play and visit.

1. I had a nice surprise today. 2. A week or two ago, I ordered around $30 worth of books from Scholastic for the kids for Christmas. I let Dakota's teacher know they were going to be presents so she'd hold on to them and give them to me only. 3. Books came in today. I picked up Caleb from his class and we were walking to her class when one of her classmates walked by and said, "Hi Mrs. Dakota's mom (lol,) teacher gave Kota a box to give to you." When I found Kota, she gave me the box and said it was my book order and her teacher had packed them up and taped the box so the kids wouldn't see what they were. I thought that was so nice! 4. I was so excited to get home and open up that box! It was as if it was my present. I kicked the kids out of the house to go play and tore into. Dakota got three Judy Blume books (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Superfudge and Sheila the Great) and a mystery and a fairy book. Caleb got four scary/mysteries and a sciency type book set. It comes with models of different types of skulls (human, animal, dinos) and a book talking about them. 5. I love Scholastic books. I find great books at terrific prices. Especially this time of year when we're buying books for all the kids for Christmas. 6. Today we made great progress on Kota's Rock Star costume. She's got a necklace, five bracelets and three rings that I finished. Mom came over and made the skirt for me (she's going to wear knit pants with a lacy sheer, tattered skirt over them.) 7. Darren has to work today. In fact he should be up in about an hour. LOL, told him I'd be in bed before he gets up, at this point it may just be minutes before!

1. We 2. are 3. meeting 4. a 5. new 6. dog 7. today. 8. a potential adoptee...I'm not sure I'm ready yet, because the pain of losing Kylie is still so acute. Will see how it feels to us to have another dog in the house, and see what Chai and Mocha seem to think.

1. We met two dogs today who are available for adoption 2. Both very sweet 3. One girl dog, one boy dog 4. We matched better with the boy dog 5. He is adorable and I already love him 6. Ms Sweetpea feels the same way 7. Now the paperwork process begins 8. I hope nothing prevents this adoption from going thru (i.e. him going to someone else) 9.

9.4 Thanks, Vacanick! 9.5 We should know in the next few days. He is 8 months old and already has a name...it's actually sorta similar to Juju, but it's not Juju. But if he didn't already have a name, we'd strongly consider Juju. Hmmm...maybe we'll hyphenate... Anyhoo, will let you know his name after we find out if he's joining our family.

1. Hi Msbees! 2. You post one more fact than the poster before you. So if they post one, you post two. We start over after 10 facts, we post one. Sometimes there's too much to post so we get creative with numbering, lol. 2.1 (<---Like that ) If you click on the topics button at the top of any page at tvch, you can go to general discussions, then free expressions and that's where you'll find the fact or two thread. You can also use the new message feature in the top right hand corner, though the first few times you use it it gives you a whole bunch of messages.

1. I don't think we stopped moving at all today! 2. Went to Costco for breakfast and lunch foods and meat, then to Walmart for cleaners, then to Vons for the rest of the groceries. 3. Bought youngest niece a birthday gift (a Dora toy.) 4. Helped Kota finish her animal project for school. 5. Cleaned up the house and then wrapped about half the Christmas presents and nieces birthday gift. I'm actually feeling pretty good about Christmas really early this year. I've got the kids about 3/4's of the way done and a good portion of those gifts wrapped and put away in plastic bins. I'm not used to being this far ahead at the begining of November! 6. My youngest niece and nephew are both coming over to spend a few hours with me. Sis and little adopted sis are going shopping for nieces birthday party stuff and her gifts. I did most of my cleaning today so that I could spend the time they're here playing, lol. 7. Darren is working 12 hour days again this week. That will make it six weeks (so far) of 12 hour days for him. They're thinking it may go through the 18th.
