Long weekend :)

Thank God the kids have an extra day to goof off this weekend. Nothing but summer beats a long weekend.

Saturday we spent the day with the grandparents. First my mom and step dad. Didn't really do anything but visit. After that we went where the in laws were camping out. The sil's, one sil's hubby, 1 niece, 1 nephew and a boyfriend were there also. It was fil's bday so we had a cookout followed by homemade ice cream. Once we got home it was way past dark and time for bed, of course after baths.

Sunday we stayed around the house and visited with the hubby/daddy while he was home. He came in very late last night and left around 2:00 this afternoon. Holiday weekends are really rough on the railroad guys.

Monday is open for whatever we choose to do. The pool is having a Labor Day thing but not sure if that's what we are doing yet or not. The boy doesn't want to but he changes his mind like I change... oh never mind you get the picture.

sucks

Hubby got in the yard off the train around 3:00 this afternoon. When he got to his truck he found the driver side window busted out. His door is messed up, the face of his radio is gone, his shotgun gone, and the ignition screwed up. It's an older truck (87 model) that he has put lots of time and money into. What truly sucks is if the damage is over $1000 bucks the insurance wants to total it. We have to get some estimates before we know anything for sure but hubby has to go back to work tomorrow, so it will be next week before that happens.

The railroad life/wife

Hubby got in last night around 8:30. He came in grabbed something to eat then went to bed. This morning he decided not to spend the morning with me but instead go fishing. Sucks he only caught 3 fish in 5 hours too. Anyway he came in grabbed a bite and took a nap. When the kids got home he got up to visit. I made dinner and while we were eating the phone rang. It was work calling him. He left at 6:00. Not even 24 hours together. So that's the life of the railroad.

1 week down

many more to go. The boy had a good first week in 7th grade. His high points were getting two cokes for one, getting to eat off the sandwich line or the regular line, having a locker and he got a 90% on a quiz.

The girl really likes 2nd grade. She is the top dog on the playground this year. She loves her teacher. It's been rough getting her up in the mornings tho. So her new bedtime is between 7 and 7:30. She really needs her beauty rest. I see now she needs 12 hours of sleep.

Well I am gone to be lazy with the kids.

Can you hear me now?!

I have to know what my child heard me say this morning? Ds likes to ride the bus, you know b/c having mommy drop you off at school is so uncool. So anyway this morning as he's walking out the door I yell "don't forget your lunch money". "Ok mom I won't". Then he comes back in for something and I say again "don't forget your lunch money". "Mom I'm not". Guess what he forgot... his freakin lunch money. So to help him out with the coolness I stopped on the highway and gave it to the principal, all while still in my pj's! ;)

School stuff

Well I did much better than I thought I would Monday morning. Still hard to believe he's in the 7th grade and all. He's doing fine over in the High School. Wasn't crazy about PE and the idea of dressing out. Lord do I remember those days. I am so glad my school days are over lol. Today the coke machine gave him 2 drinks for the price of 1 so he was thrilled.

The baby started 2nd grade. Now for all to know she is so much like her momma it's not funny. Many of you know I am so a night owl and she's followed in my foot steps. So Monday morning when I get up at 6:20 to get her lunch ready and shower and found her waiting for me I was shocked. She greets me with a Good Morning and the biggest grin ever. Yesterday after school she gets in the van and says "well we had to do work today" like all the works gone after 1st grade.

As for me I am waiting by the phone for the school to call me to sub. My bff works at the High School and said they had to call someone Tues. and Wed. so who knows when I will get the 1st call. I think taking the year off last year kinda hurt me. Oh well they will need to sooner or later.

New Start

I'm moving over here from Wordpress. I hope you enjoy my new home.
