1. Rainy day :-(

2. Just getting over bronchitis, and Matts getting over a bad cold.

3. Apparently I have a new pet.. a raccoon keeps coming in at night and eating the cats food. Thought that only happened on Funniest Home Videos. I've caught him in the act 5 times now! Even got a picture of him..LOL

4. Still looking for a new house. I found one a few weeks back but it turned out to be not so great afterall..its a frustrating and scarey venture.

5. Matt found the kiddie scissors and tried to cut his hair before I could reach him... good thing they're so dull. I know it'll happen at some point though..

6. One of my best friends is getting married Oct 11th and I have absolutely nothing to wear. Must shop..soon!!!

7. I just can't get into working today, don't know why. I'm getting kinda behind too. not good

8. Picked out Matts Halloween costume. Can't wait, I just love Halloween. As a tradition I make batches and batches of iced sugar cookies and hand them out to everyone at work and all my family.

9. All my fav shows are starting within the next week.. Survivor, Greys, Amazing Race, Desperate Housewives. Must make room on my dvr cuz theres just no way I can watch them all

10. I'm getting a bit sick of Blue's Clue's

I canned 12 quarts of tomatoes today. One more day of this and I will hate tomatoes for the rest of my life. Not really but it sounded good.

Tomorrow I have about 4 hours to put in at work and then my DD is playing in her first Volleyball game? match? what ever. I'm excited for her. this her first year of playing organised sports. I am going to be at every event and encourage all I can. It seems to make her pretty happy so that makes me happy too.

I am going to a conference next week and I don't think I really care about the subject so much as the going to a nice hotel for a few days and getting away from the house. Heck, I might even skip some of the seminars and go shopping.

I love the fall season of TV. All my favorite shows are starting up too. NCIS, CSI, CSI Miami, Criminal Minds, Hero's, Sara Connors Chronicles, Big Bang Theory, Two & a Half Men and others.

For the first time in my life I started a book and found it so boring I could not finish it. I wonder what that means? Normally I will read almost anything just for the pleasure of reading.

My baby sister told me today she has kicked out her drunken husband. I listened for a while then made an excuse to get off the phone. I just can't help her. He was a drunk when she met him he was a drunk when she married him and she has always known. Chances are she will take him back anyway. She will call me again tomorrow and I will listen and encourage her to stay strong to her decision but my heart is not in it. I am just going through the motions and I know it. Does that make me a bad sister?

This weekend I will pickle beets and onions.

1. Cinnamongirl, if you are not one of those people who gets the heebiejeebies at the thought of pre-worn clothing, come down to Bell and shop the consignment stores for the wedding attire. We have at least three pretty good ones, probably more.

BTW DD did pretty good at her Volleyball game. She scored 2 points and the ball went over the net 9 out of 10 serves. We (The Lady Grizzly's) did not win but it was not for trying.

Val, my DD, explained that three matches make a game. Best two out of three.

.5 Hi Kimsue! I think you might be new to the fact thread? We number our facts and then do one more than the person before us. Juju did one, you did two, I do three, etc. When someone does ten, the next person will start over at one. Oh, and some of us use wonky numbering!

1. Congrats to your dd! Sounds like she did great!

2. Dakota just told me today that they announced at her school they've dropped all their sports programs. Budget cuts = no money for buses = no buses to go to games/meets = no sports. She's sad, was still up in the air about trying out for track but was definitely looking forward to soccer. Her school now has NO extra ciricular activities, no art, no music, no sports. Sad, very sad.

3. Last night I went to bed about 2. At some point before 4 (the alarm clock goes off at 4 and it hadn't by then) I was soooo close to being asleep when Darren started to lick my shoulder. My first thought was well geez, if he wants my attention there's other ways to do it! Second was confusion, he has class Wed night, doesn't get home til 10, he never wakes up before the clock on Thursday morning. I rolled over to ask him what the heck he was doing and came face to face with the puppy, lol. She's been sleeping in our bed. She started at the foot of it and has slowly worked her way towards the head. I didn't realize she'd made it all the way to the pillows. We're now going to be working on getting her to at least sleep at the foot of the bed again.

3. Having dinner at my parents tonight, always great. My mom is the best cook evah

4. Looking forward to Survivor in HD and the VP debates tonight. (oh, apparently Canada has some kind of debate tonight too...)

1.1 I love it too! Cool nights, bright sunny days without the heat of summer. Leaves changing.

2. I have such a headache from my husbands obsession with the news lately. We are all worried about the economy but I can't worry 24/7.

3. going to Mom & Dads tomorrow. A one hour drive. Hope I don't get pulled over, my tags expired at the end of September and I forgot to go get them before the weekend.


4. Big seafood feed at my parents this weekend. It is their tradition to have this feed yearly just before they pack up to leave for the Winter.
I'm gonna' miss them. It's been years since I've had Thanksgiving or any other holiday with them. I try to think of this feed as Thanksgiving.

5. My kids both had to give me their cell phones because they both were caught texting and calling in their rooms after 10:00pm. It's a house rule and they have been warned. If they don't turn out their lights and go to bed by ten they won't get up in the morning. The entire household has to get up at by 6:00am in order to get to school and work on time. I get up a half hour earlier. I don't want the fighting and crabbiness in the morning. I don't think it's to much to ask.

I just went back and read this and I think I am in a bad mood.......Oh well.

1. Doesn't sound like a bad mood, Kimsue, just following your own rules and making sure the kidlets aren't too grumpy in the mornings.

2. Darren says he's feeling better, though I'm not convinced. His leg looks so much better, redness and swelling is pretty much gone, but all the meds he's taking are making him nasueas and yucky feeling.

3. My aunt is also sick and I'm heading over to the caregiver thread to vent about it. She's being damn stubborn.

4. With Darren sick, my nieces couldn't come over Friday like planned. So Kota spent the night at their house. With Darren still sick, Kota's bff couldn't come over yesterday like planned. They picked her up and took her home to play, then bff's step mom called and asked if she could spend the night there. Worked for me, Darren was feeling so bad last night I thought I was gonna end up taking him back to urgent care (ended up not taking him cuz he's also damn stubborn.)

5. My nieces came over today. Oldest one is doing a project, a map of California, and needed to come use the internet to look up some information. When we were done with that the girls pulled the Halloween decs out and decorated the patio. Then oldest niece helped me cook dinner.

6. Because she's in school all day, I don't get to spend as much time with my oldest niece as the other two. Middle one comes over sometimes in the morning and spends time with me until I have to take her to school. Baby comes over for a few hours ever so often. Plus I see them when I go over to the house, when oldest niece is in school. I think she was missing some Aunt Sandy time today. She spent a lot of time cuddling up in my lap and reading with me, helping with dinner. It was fun...and I admit I miss spending a lot of time with her too.

1) I love autumn. The leaves are glorious! But one good stiff breeze and it's "snowing" leaves!

2) I found out this last year that I prefer to stack wood anyday of the week rather than doing housework.

3) I like wearing hats especially my favorite ones. Right now I am wearing my Kevin Harvick cap, because my Bobby Labonte one got soaked this morning when I was stacking wood.

4) I'd like to wish all my Canadian friends...Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

5) I have a brand spanking new great niece. her name is Cadence Elizabeth and she was born yesterday.

6) I think being a grandmother is a LOT more fun than being a mother. You can laugh at the fact that the school photo shows the tooth that got knocked out without feeling the least bit guilty.

7) We have about a dozen pumpkins ready to harvest. I love that we grew our own this year!

Welcome to the World Cadence!!

1) Beautiful Sunny day here (hoping it sticks around for Halloween)

2) My kitty is missing. Its only been a day but I'm freaked out.

3) Planning a big work lunch for Friday. Have 3 people making different chili, corn bread (I've never had corn bread) salads and plenty of yummy Halloween desserts.

4) I have Wed, Thurs & Friday off and will be baking iced sugar cookies..I make a ton and give out to family every Halloween

5) My house is up for sale but only 3 peeps have looked thru so far. :-(

6) My parenst are off on another trip. A cruise from Eastern Canada down thru the States. At least its only for a few weeks. Wonders what injury will happen to my dad. It never fails that he comes home with stitches (at least for the last 5 trips)

7)Had a little costume party for the little ones yesterday. They were all so cute. Matt was/is a Ninja.

8)My blind date guy that I meet in the park a while back has fizzled out. Too many red flags. Oh well.... NEXT! LOL j/k

1. Cinnamon, I hope you found/find your cat quickly!

2. Caleb has been really impressing us with his dedication to guitar practice. He's practicing an hour a night (teacher only requires half an hour,) and if we're going somewhere he knows he won't have much to do, like my sisters, he takes his guitar to play while we're there.

3. My boy's been a crack up this week. Today we pulled up in front of the neighbor girls house to drop her off and he actually got out of the car and opened the door for her. He joked around about it then said, nah, I just wanted to throw my backpack in the back seat, lol.

4. Yesterday, while coming home from school, him, me, the neighbor girls, and Darren were joking around and he said, "I got almost everything from my dad, only thing I got from mom...." I started to say my clumsiness (he walked off the edge of the couch the other day, lol,) when he beat me to the punchline and said, "was her mustache!" Darren cracked up, neighbor girls both told him that was cool, and I turned around to tell him that was a good one, lol. Besides his looks, attitude, love of gaming and all things techie, he also got his daddy's sense of humor.

5. Dakota's been doing well. The school has her in a new program helping with her reading and spelling. She's doing so good they're talking about moving her up a group in reading/spelling. I'm not too eager for that, it's nice to see her having some confidence and not struggling so much. I've actually pushed teachers to move her up when I thought she needed it, but this years been so hard on her I'd like her to have an easier time for a while.

6. We haven't really given much thought to what we're doing for Halloween night yet. We'll be going out with sis and bil and my nieces, but not sure where. It's supposed to be cold, windy, and raining.

7. And we still don't have plans for our anniversary which is Saturday. We did go out last weekend and I was thinking that was anniversary celebration, however sis informed me today that she'd planned on watching the kids Saturday for us to go out but found out the halloween party they go to every year is on Saturday night. It's not a kid party (gory, bloody, scary decorations and movies) but she was willing to skip it. Darren and I talked about it and decided we'd watch the girls on Saturday and go out next weekend. Doesn't much matter to us when we celebrate as long as we do.

8. A longtime family friend (he went all through school with my step dad and sis and I grew up with his kids) died the other day. Mom called and asked if sis and I would go to the funeral with her, though we're not sure when it is yet.

9. I thought the family might be on the road to healthy but Caleb's sniffling and sneezing and middle niece is running a high fever and has a sore throat. We've all been passing crap around for a month, I'm so tired of it. No one is staying healthy.

1. Wow, nearly 3 weeks since a post. Hope you had a good anniversary Wargod

2. Nice, dry, mild November day. I like it :-)

3. Raked 12 big huge bags of leaves yesterday, feels so good to have that done.

4. Had a great dinner last night at the Cactus Club with 4 of my g/fs. We all went to school together, from kindergarten on.....

5. Wow, Christmas is coming so soon, gotta start making lists and figure out what I'll be baking

6. Can't wait for Dec. 1st for the official turning-on of our Christmas lights

7. My parents just got back from an Eastern USA cruise. They loved that they were in Boston for Nov 4th elections.

8. My kitty is still MIA... I think I need to get past it and stop waking up every couple hours thinking I heard him come in the catdoor.

9. I'm really not into working today

10. Have to think of a Birthday Theme for my sons 3rd birthday in December...He's going to get such a kick out of it this year, understanding so much more

.5 I'm on a mission to post more often. I've been slacking.

1. Both kidlets are out of school for the next week. Yay Thanksiving vacation!

2. Kota is spending the night at my sisters tonight. Tomorrow night her bff and Caleb's friend are spending the night. It's been a while since either of them had a friend over so it should be fun.

1. I haven't been here for ever and was so glad to see it wasn't at 10!

2. Things are well in wappy grandparent land, cept it snowed a foot last night and like it or not, I'm betting its here to stay.

3. If you pop over to my folder I have posted some photos. The kids, the dogs and cats, the grandchild and hubby all continue to rock my world.

Fondly,
Wappy

1. It's raining here, not very cold though...it's still 61.

2. Darren's last day of work before his four day weekend is tomorrow. I'm looking forward to having the whole family home for a few days.

3. He also got his sick time pay today (that's our Christmas shopping money.) We're debating if we want to cash the check tomorrow and start shopping or hold onto it for a week or two. I'm just not that eager to start shopping yet.

4. Dakota's bff spent the night (Caleb's friend couldn't) and today was a pretty good day. The girls kept themselves busy and had a great time.

1. I had jury duty and was excused. This is only the second time I have ever had jury duty. The last time was the most boring thing of my life. I dreaded this time. (I hate being bored with a passion.) It wasn't so bad though. I actually got into the courtroom and watched and somewhat participated in jury selection.

2. I am beginning to crave Christmas cookies even though I do not feel like Thanksgiving could be here let alone Christmas. (and I love Christmas! but it just doesn't feel like the season this year at all)

3. I think there is far too much paperwork in my world (and in the whole world), it never used to be like this years ago.

1. We had a very nice Thanksgiving. I hope everyone else did as well!

2. I've posted before (and even a pic) how my puppy, PJ, loves to sleep in a laundry basket. Doesn't matter if it's dirty clothes or clean clothes, or if I'm in the middle of folding, she's gonna hop on in.

3. Darren told his mom about that the other day. He went out with Kota tonight to check on her and she sent a doggy bed home with him for PJ. Oh my gosh...she is now convinced she's a little queen, lol. There was no doubt in her mind that little bed is for her, she hopped right up in it and has only gotten up to eat and go potty then went right back to it.

4. We're hoping she loves it enough she'll sleep in it instead of in our bed tonight. Not really counting on that since she ignores the laundry basket at night.

1. Wow it has been forever since I have read or been near this thread

2. Hoping all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving day yesterday, no matter what you did

3. We have snow still on the ground here, but we need it to melt then freeze hard cause dh has a crop of corn that has yet to be combined.

4. Sort of at a stand still with my hip scope recovery. So basically I think what I am doing around the house now is what I am suppose to do for the next few weeks.

5. Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent...will have to get dh to start bringing up Christmas decorations up from basement so I can start decorating in shifts. Plus I want my advent wreath out as my father made it for me many years ago and it is special.
