1. Everybody just wants to feel better about themselves, huh? Well, everyone but Adven who will say he feels just fine about himself, thank you very much!

2. That's pretty funny about your DS.

3. I can't imagine being sick of snow when it's only October!

4. We're lucky if we get one good snowfall a year!

5. I always say I like the changing of the seasons until it gets cold and then I want summer back. I don't know how you northerners do it!

6. I'm going to see a newborn baby today! I love babies!

4.2 Hi Escapee. It is a rather expensive way to stock the freezer, eh?

4.2.1 It is, but it's a once in a lifetime chance to go. His uncle goes every year and DH has been helping his uncle out on his ranch, free of charge. Just to be a good nephew. So in return, uncle said "How'd you like to go Elk Hunting with us this year in CO? I'll buy your tag."
Well I could see DH salivating when he asked. I said he could. Like I had the power to tell him no, or something. What's been expensive is the gear he's decided he needs to go. New waders, new boots, rain gear, a new scope (his mysteriously broke all of the sudden) and a range finder. Granted it's stuff he'll use again and again, but SHEESH. I want a freezer full of pheasant, duck, elk and deer for all of this. We still have a lot of venison left over, but it never hurts to have a little more to share with the family. Times is tough.

Kar, are you near Craig?

1) Frank had an emergency surgery last Friday to have his ball blatter taken out. He was in t)he hsp until Sunday and finally went back to his office today.

2) I've spent so many wk-ends at my DDs over the last month and 1/2.

3) The 2 grandsons (Tyler - Sr. & Tanner - Jr.) are both on the varsity football team and their team is doing really well. They start playoffs this Friday.

4) I love/hate post menapause: I love not having the monthly crap. I hate the spare tire!

5) I've really never had a wt problem my whole life - until now - and I really don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions?

6) My asst. at the office that I truely adore has been with me since last Feb. I've had terrible luck in finding and keeping good people for about 3 yrs.

7) Anyway, this asst. that I so adore has been making alot (I mean ALOT) of careless mistakes. I've been talking to her about the problem for at least a month, and still there's been no improvement. Well, today I had to write her up because of this - just doing my job - and she took it soooooo hard. I feel so bad for her. I had to seperate my personal "like" of her from the fact that I AM her boss. It was really crappy!

1. Ahhh, Texasdeb, sounds like you've had a lot of stress. Hope Frank mends quickly.

2. I'm the last person to give advice about weight given my own struggles, but eating less and exercising does seem to be the way to go! Weight Watchers works for a lot of people.

3. I've had a running toilet for a month that I've rigged with a soup ladle. A very attractive man from work volunteered to come fix it for me. I wonder how I could pay him?

4. We have a Nor'Easter here. It's the remnants of Ida. Why do they call it a Nor'Easter when it comes from the Southwest? I guess because its moving Northeast, but that's stupid, if you ask me. And you should ask me. My opinion is invaluable.

5. Did you know that Fruit Loops now provide fiber? My head is spinning.

6. This is Spirit Week at school and today is "Rave Day." The students are all decked out in flourescents.

7. I was up until almost 1 a.m. playing Runescape last night. I guess I shouldn't complain that I am tired today considering no one actually forced me to do that.

8. Accio, coffee!

8.2 Don't let Fruitbat know you call it a Nor'easter. It sends her "batty" HA! HA! HA!

You better call it a "North Easter" from now on.

1. I don't think Fruitbat is the only batty one around here!

2. Today was report card day. Kota did great, has a 3.2 GPA. Caleb did good (still struggling in math and lazied his way out of an easy A in Guitar, seriously lazied, only reason his grade dropped was cuz he hasn't been turning in his practice cards even though he's been doing the practice and more than required!) He has a 3.0 GPA.

3. Oldest niece recieved a Good Citizenship award today. Poor kid tripped on her way up to the stage to get it.

4. I've been working on some Christmas cellphone charms and keychains today. I'm happy with the way they've been turning out.

5. Dakota made brownies tonight, they were very good (and I'm not a big chocolate anything fan.)

6. PJ took her dress off a week ago and hid it. Haven't found it yet, but the poor pup is cold now. I'm half expecting her to go find it and bring it to me, lol.

7. It got cold here pretty quickly today. Was nice earlier in the day, but then got cold, windy, and dark. No rain yet though.

8. I've had a headache I haven't quite been able to kick today. Thought I'd gotten rid of it earlier but it came right back worse than it had been.

9. This weekend will be one of shopping. Grocery shopping, clothes shopping for the quinceniera, and a little bit of Christmas shopping.

1. Lots of shopping done this weekend. Got Dakota's sweater for the quinceniera, a top for me, and a dress shirt and tie for Caleb.

2. Grocery shopping is done (except for milk.) I still need to come up with a menu.

3. Walmart shopping is done. No Christmas shopping done yet though. I'll do that this week sometime.

4. I hate shopping. I really, really do.

5. My oldest niece was just bragging yesterday about being the only one in the family that didn't catch the stomach bug. Anyone wanna guess what she has now?

6. Sis called to tell me and all I could do was argh. Girls had games yesterday so her and Dakota spent half the day together.

7. The kids our on their last week of school before Thanksgiving week. They're out the whole week.

8. Darren is off Thanksgiving weekend through the following Wednesday. Then all of them go back to work/school for a couple weeks before they're out for several weeks for Christmas vacation.

9. I need to figure out what to do with the kids next week. Usually Darren has the same week off so we can go places and do family stuff. Probably won't do too much, but I'd like to do a few things...maybe go to the movies or take them out to lunch.

10. I've been fighting a headache for four days now. I think it's time to stop taking any pain meds and just let it come and get it over with.

1. Vacanick I am happy it is Monday because after today I only have 4 more working days and then I am on vacation for 2 weeks

2. Did I mention I am going to Florida to see my father for Thanksgiving and on my second week I have a couple of Doctors appointments and I am going to get together with some old High School friends that I have not seen in over 20 years. I am very excited about my vacation.

1. I love, love, LOVE the Down Syndrome children that I work with. I would like to adopt a Down Syndrome baby, but I looked into it and apparently it is really difficult. I don't think I have the money to pursue it.

2. Have fun in Florida, Dfennessey!

3. Last night I went to my school's fall play - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The students gave a phenomenal performance.

1. Hermie, are you volunteering with the down syndrome kids? Or are they coming to the library? We have a place out here that works with people starting around high school through 22 or 23, they do things like educational help, job training, even balancing their budgets or figuring out bus schedules. They're always looking for volunteers with different skills to help out. Something like that could be a great fit for you to work with more down syndrom kids.

2. The retirement home worked with this place, we did job training and it was one of the best parts of my job! Not only was it fun to work with them, they were usually so very loving (not a bad thing around the elderly,) and they gave 110% all the time. We went on to hire several of them after they graduated the program and they were awesome. Last I heard, they were still working with the program and still hiring quite a few of their graduates.

3. I have not decided what to do for dinner yet. I still haven't set down to work out a menu so I've been winging it the last few days.

4. I'm back to working on Christmas ornaments (beaded) and moving along nicely. I'm hoping to give sets as Christmas presents this year. I have either 7 or 8 done now.

1. I'm counting calls from the kids school about the upcoming Thanksgiving week break. Only one so far, but you can bet since they called in the middle of the day there will be at least one more tonight.

2. Dakota left me a note this morning that said, Hi mommy, it's almost Thanksgiving and you get us home for a whole week!

3. Speaking of notes, Caleb wrote me one the other day that said, My mom is the bestest and most awesomest mom ever...even if she is short, old, and grey haired.

4. I'm waiting for my lunch to finish cooking in the microwave. Costco sells these El Pollo Loco chicken & rice bowls that are wonderful.

5. Sis and I finished our aunts Christmas shopping today for the kidlets. We'd given her some ideas of what the kids wanted, she made her choices and I think the kids will be super happy. She's the auntie, she gets to give fun gifts, lol.

1.1 Wargod, they are coming to the library. We have a class with special needs and it has several teenagers with Down Syndrome. I have a friend who works closely with the Special Olympics and that might give me some opportunities to do more also. I know they need help. I'll write more later. It's been a busy week and I am very, very tired. Oh, and your kids' notes to you made me laugh!

1. Oh, the Special Olympics would be fun! Everytime I see even bits of the special olympics I end up crying (happy tears,) proud of all the hard work, dedication, and determination and leave me grinning.

2. I hope you're able to get some rest tonight.

3. I posted in another thread about an hour ago that I was almost ready for bed...still up. I need to go hop in the shower and get in bed soon though. Need to be up by 6.

4. My little nephew wanted to come home with me today. Then my nieces called to see if they could spend the night. Then Caleb's buddy wanted to spend the night. Hate saying no, but we just had too much to do today and have to be up too early tomorrow for overnight company.

5. PJ jumped onto my bead tray earlier. I told Darren on Sunday I'm going to have to pull cushions off the couch because I'm sure about half of them ended up there.

6. Heh, I found a bag of quarters today (ziplock sandwich back, a little more than half full.) I was pretty sure I had it somewhere around here but hadn't been able to find it and wondered if I was mis-remembering. I went to get my crimp pliers out of the drawer and there sat the bag. It went straight into my coin bottle. I love finding money and even just a few bucks in change can make me happy!
