I'M UP, DRESSED, AND BLOGGGING. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

Not much really going on here.
The bed kicked me out this morning. I just could not lay there comfortable this morning so I had to get up.
I had been watching tv or reading and some crocheting while sitting on my bed so the kids could watch tv in the living room. I am getting tired of the kids making a mess of my bed when they watch tv in my room.
I am slowly getting back to crafting again. I have started my second set of the chicken potholders.
I have not spent much time online this summer because the kids are on it all the time. I gave them a 2 hour limit for online and they like to do things off line too.
This weekend is a girls weekend. We are going camping with the girls organization. So we will be with about 200 girls from around the state. Just hanging out while camping in the mountains. Next week it is camping at the beach with the boys organization.
School starts on Sept. 4th. I still need to do the school shopping. Every time I mention this to hubby he reminds me that there is 3 taxes due at the end of this month plus all the regular bills. Like I could ever forget.
I have been looking for a job. It has been over 12 years since I had a job outside of the house and I don't have a lot of skills to get a job that is not in food service or standing at a cash register. I hate dealing with stupid people so finding a job I would like is going to be hard. I am not in any real rush to find one either, but Tom thinks I should just take what ever just to get back in the job market. My going back to work is more his idea than mine. I am a volunteer leader with the kids organizations (thats 2 groups)and hold office in the schools PTA.
I also keep track of his trucking business he calls every day wanting to know what is in the bank accounts and about any faxes that come in. He also wants to take on leases from other truckers so I would be doing other peoples faxes and keeping track of them. So when would I have time for a job.
I need to go and get something to get rid of sand fleas. It is flea season here and the carpet is full of them. They come in every year at this time.
So I'm off to the store.

Bridges and Hi-way Safty

My heart goes out to all those families still waiting to find out about their loved ones in Minnieapolis.
My hubby and youngest daughter were on that bridge just last a few days ago. Tom called me from Atlanta to tell me to watch the news. Tomorrow they will be in Lexington and Monday Salt Lake City. She is really getting a chance to see America this summer.
Kim took almost all my crochet hooks and a bag full of yarn. She took the hooks because the Dr told her I should not do any crocheting for a while yet. She is making up a pattern to make a doll or something but she did not take a yarn sewing needle with her so she has to wait till she gets home to sew it together. I think hubby is being impressed with how smart she is and how grown up she has become for an 11 year old. And she is so creative too.
I took the older two to the Dr for sports physicals today. Thomas (13) is so pleased that he is taller than me and just 1/2 inch shorter that his older sister. Nicole (15) is now 5'8" and thin. She is going to play volleyball this year, she will have a height advantage over the other girls.
I can't wait for my favorite holiday....the first day of school.

You Are 55% Left Brained, 45% Right Brained

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
