1. Holy cow Jewels, thats so crazy...what a summer you're having... unreal!! I went to my 20th reunion too and have to say the exact same thing..the women were exactly the same and the men had changed soooo much, some of them I didn't even recognize...and I had a much easier time getting there..LOL, I would have been a basket case going thru what you did..

2. I'm on vacation next week too Spitfire. Hope we both have a good one

3. Kinda cloudy here today and almost sweater-worthy. hmmmm hope things pickup soon so we can get some beachtime in next week.

1. I was so frustrated with my hair that I told my hairstylist to do whatever she wanted with my hair. Now I do think it looks cute and all, BUT the back is so short. I mean as short as you can get without a buzz cut. Like an inch long!!) I like it a lot from the sides (they are longer and curly) but I am not so sure about the back....

2. Ryan this summer, is having his best summer ever. Kids call on him all day long. He is out the door at about 9 am and stays out til it is dark. They play wiffleball, kickball, ride bikes, go frog hunting, etc. Nice to see some kids are just like we used to be (outside all summer). It is very hard for me to get him in for lunch or dinner.

3. His hair is bleached and his skin is tanned. You can't even see his eyebrows cuz they blend in with his skin.

4. Abby is talking so much more now and cracking us up!

1. Ack Jewels! You guys haven't had it easy lately have you?

2. When my friends were in their motorcycle accident a few weeks ago (both broke several ribs each) they were told it'd take 6-8 weeks before the pain from those broken ribs was gone. I saw them last weekend and he was still wincing and groaning ever so often. It is a painful injury, apparently made more painful by the fact that you can't stop doing things that aggravate it like breathing!

3. We're having a quiet day. Caleb's buddy was supposed to come over but something came up and he can't today.

4. I'm enjoying it, I love having all the kids over but it's nice to have a few days off.

5. Dakota and my nieces are totally excited about the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3-D concert that is going to be on Saturday night. Nieces have plans that night so I'm tivoing it for them and then they'll have a concert party next week.

1) broke ribs are no fun! I fell & broke 2 on my right side 3 yrs ago on Memorial Day wk-end. Nobody at the hsp bothered to tell me that the strong pain pills would cause constipation. I ended up with pnemonia(sp?) & back in the er a wk later. Now I was on antibiotics, pain meds, & another med for the shut down bowels (the bowel prob. actually caused the ribs to ache & hurt much more because of the pressure).

2) I was actually ok enough 5 wks later to go to Boston for a wk long business trip. I was sure worried that dragging a wks worth of luggage around & the 2 6 hr plane trips would take their toll on me but I didn't have any problems. That's when I knew I was well.

3) boss is actually helping me out around the office some & I've managed to cut my hrs back to 45/wk give or take.

4) my new asst. starts tomorrow. I've just had the worst luck finding/keeping the right person. The last one was with me for 4 1/2 months & I thought at last we had a keeper. I had her fully trained on about 90% of the job & was exposing her to the rest. At her 90 day evaluation I gave her a nice raise. THEN, I guess she felt comfortable because the multi-personalities started showing up - or not showing up at all (she didn't work a whole wk in a row after that - one excuse after another for being absent). She actually had 3 dif. instances of no call/no show for 2 days in a row & would come in on the 3rd day with her "story" of why she couldn't call & beg for another chance. The 3rd time - we had no choice but to let her go.

5) I don't understand how some folks can nail the whole getting in the door thing & then not take care of it once they get there.

6) I'm feeling good about the new one though & I'm not going to jinx it by saying anything more.

5.2 If you haven't got them already, Escapee, Walmart has the 3-D glasses for free. At ours they were sitting near the front door in a bin. I picked up 3 pair (one for Dakota and one each for my nieces) and bil said I should have grabbed more. Sis said yeah cuz they are cheap and break easy and he said no, cuz he thought we'd all watch with them, lol.

1. Not sure if this is the correct order of things.

2. Pushrod (aka) Baby Kitty is growing leaps and bounds and gives my husband lots of companionship while he works out of state.

3. Got the privilege of watching all the RAGBRAI riders go through the town of Boone, Iowa on Tuesday and what a blast that was to see. Estimated group of 25,000 bicycles, makes my butt hurt just thinking about it.

4. DH and I need to get our spare bedroom cleaned out! We're converting it into a bathroom! WOOHOO...a BIG bathroom!

5. DS2 is still living with us, so he gets moved to the basement.

6. DS1 is getting married Sept. 6th and my dress is here and it fits. *whew*

7. I really need to get off my butt and get something accomplished since DH is home for his 6 days off. I really like it when he's home.

1. I have a knot in my upper back by my shoulder blade. It's pissing me off!

2. DH is on a mini vacation doing his dirtbike thing. That means I'm on a mini vacation as well with 2 tag alongs.

3. Next week on my real vacation we plan on hanging out at the beach, water parks, pools, and a petting zoo.

4. I have to go on a training course in Quebec in August. I have not been on a plane since I was 18 years old maybe. I'm sorta scared that I may freak out.

5. While I'm looking forward to not having the daily pressure of getting kids up and out the door...I'm gonna miss it to.

6. Sure hope it's a nice week next week.

7. I'm hungry. What am I gonna have for lunch.

8. Is it time to go home yet?

1. OMG, Serate, Spongebob is awesome! He's so goofy and silly and totally funny.

2. Granted, my 2 year old nephew loves Spongebob and will plant his butt on the couch and not move while he's on...which of course gives me time to get a few things done around the house, lol! Just adds to my Spongebob love.

3. Dakota lost her bedroom door today. I told her to clean up the den (well, a small area near their tv,) she got snotty, hopped up and ran to her room and slammed the door. Before I could even twitch, Darren walked over and grabbed a couple tools out of his tool box, then went and told her to open her door. She did and he took it down. Then grounded her for the snottiness.

4. Caleb looked at me and said, "Mom! Can he do that????" Think it gave him something to think about, losing his door would be far more distressing to him than to her (he's 12, he needs some privacy even if it's just to get away from his sister!)

5. I'll be babysitting two of my nephews (11 and 8) for I don't know how long yet. Right now we're looking at til they go back to school in September though that could change.

6. Kids are excited, especially Caleb, that they'll have someone to play with.

7. Dakota was supposed to spend the night at her bff's house last night but got sick and came home. I think she had a migraine. She had thrown up at the friends house. When she came home, she got into her jammies, laid on the couch and went to sleep for several hours.

8. When I woke her up to check on her she told me her head hurt. Gave her some tylenol and half an hour later she was feeling better. She told me before she got sick at her friends house, she had a bad headache, but didn't tell them cuz she didn't want to come home and thought it'd go away. Today she took it easy, was pretty lazy and grumpy (obviously by losing her door and getting herself grounded!) Very migraine like behavior froom the throwing up to sleeping to laziness today.

9. My little adopted sis still hasn't had her baby yet. She's been having contractions for a week or so but not enough to go to the hospital. I'm just patiently waiting...her not so patiently.

10. I have a bet going with Caleb. At his physical, dr gave him a script for some medicated acne wipes. Sometimes he does real well cleaning his face, other days he skips it. Our bet is that if he faithfully does his face cleaning twice a day like he's supposed to by the time he goes back to school, his face will be clear. If his face isn't clear, he gets a treat (some movie or ice cream out, something like that.) Sometimes my boy is so bright, lol, it took him about 15 seconds to figure it out...he wins either way!

1. It was such a beautiful day that Hubby and I went picking blueberries the other day. Neither of us were wearing a watch. Who knew that you could pick blueberries for three hours straight and not even realize it. We got five quarts though!

3.2 How long did it take her to earn it back Lady??

3.3 I've had a couple cover my grin moments this morning. Dakota told the boys she was going to her room to play and if her door was shut, they weren't to come in...then she said, "Oh wait! I don't have a door anymore!" She's got this whole little attitude going on about it and keeps blaming her daddy...I think it could take her a while to earn it back at this point!

1.3 Caleb's reaction was quite funny.

1. My nephews show up at not quite 8 this morning and my house has been noisy ever since.

2. I'm waiting for my sis to get up so we can go over there. Need to clean, help aunt shower and the kids are going to swim while I do that.

Great idea about the door. I may need to use it in the future!!!

1. Have this week off but went into work today for a few hours to get payroll done.. I even brought brownies so everyone was happy to see me ;)

2. The little guys now having his nap so I'm going to paint the new backdoor. Old one had a huge dogdoor in it and a person could easily fit thru it... Never got a good sleep knowing someone could make there way in...and not having a huge badass dog waiting for them. Now its just a cat

3. Going to my parents for dinner. Yay! Moms an awesome cook... and I don't have to think about what to make...its a win win

1) I am such an idiot sometimes. I decided that if I am going to reach my goal of a seven mile hike on Labor Day weekend...I'd better start training for it now.

2) There is a HUGE hill that I will have to walk up towards the end, so I decided that I should walk down the hill and then back up it to make sure I could manage it. Well, I had my headphones on and "Proud Mary" started playing and then something by the Beatles and then something else equally fun to walk to, so I just kept walking...before I knew it I'd gone two miles! Then I had to turn around walk two miles back...including the trek UP that darn hill!

3) It took me an hour and ten minutes and I was soaked through and through. My hair was completely wet under my cap.

4) Today...I can hardly move! What a dufus I am! but I now know I can do four miles and manage that big hill.

Mary..... sounds sore but you just gave me inspiration to burn off some negative energy. Rock On! (or is that Walk On)

) Oh how nice Kimsue - wish I could do that. Hope you had a great relaxing, get to know the new laptop kind of day.

2) Somehow I've managed to get back to the old 50+ hrs @ work rut again. Oh well, I had a cpl of nice 45 hr wks anyway.

3) Boss was out all day today & he is on Vac. all next wk so that will be nice (he keeps me hopping & I have more than enough to take care of without the extra stuff) Maybe, I'll get closer to getting caught up.

4) I've got a game plan for the wk-end: I'll be busy one day & I'll be a "Kimsue" & have an easy day the other.

5) Frank's already said he's got the big meal planned for Sunday & he will do everything. What a sweetheart!
