BEEN A WHILE

Well, I know its been a while since I last posted anything. Work is just crazy and this is the only time that I can post anything. Ya see...when you live out in the "sticks" there just isn't an internet provider that has good speed...not to mention EVERYTHING is long distance....and when you are use to satellite internet a 56K modem is just HORRIBLE !!! Man..how did we ever manage ??

12 more days until school starts...I am counting the days !! I really don't know why because it will just be crazy, but my children are bored !! And when you have bored children the nerves and the tension in the house are on end !! Mike, D'Nae and I come home from working all day and want to relax a little and the other two are just wired...wanting to do this or that..and inevitably end up fighting...Bored kids are NOT GOOD !!!

D'Nae has been at cheerleading camp all last week. The football boys have a scrimmage this Saturday so I guess we are really gearing up for football season !! Yeah !! I just love Friday night 6-man football. It is just awesome to watch. If you haven't seen a 6-man football game you really need to go watch one. They are normally way exciting !!

Rhaeden is playing in a Pee-Wee football league this year. He has pads, the helmet and the whole nine yards. He is really excited. He has only had 1 practice so far but is really geared up for it. Monday they will have practice in their pads instead of just in their shorts. I can't wait to see how some of the 5th and 6th grade boys take getting hit. I bet ALL of them can dish it out..but let's just see how many of them can take it !!

Maegen is complaining about hurting when she goes to the bathroom again. So, I have a Dr. appointment for her today. Let's just hope she is just making it up or this will be the 2nd infection in what 3 weeks....NOT GOOD !!! I am counting the days until school starts and she is NOT wanting to go to first grade. She thinks she will stay at Day Care. The teachers will "Miss" her if she goes back to school. So, I guess instead of a high school dropout..has anyone ever heard a Kindergarten drop out...since that's all she wants to do with school. Too funny !!! What can I say that I haven't said before...the kid is just a comedian.

Mike's grandmother finally got out of the hospital and moved into the nursing home here in Post. She had been in the hospital since the end of April. 4 months is an extremely long time to spend in the hospital. Hopefully she will adjust quickly and get on the road to recovery !!!

My dad had a birthday on Monday !! Do I dare tell you how "young" he is ??? Anyway, Mom and PaPa (with a little help from D'Nae) cooked pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, salad and canteloupe for supper. Just for the record...I was at football practice with Rhaeden from 6pm to 8pm is the reason I didn't help with the supper. LaShae and Quilla came down from Lubbock. Granny, Papa, LaShae, Quilla, Mom, Dad, Mike, D'Nae, Rhaeden, Maegen and myself were all their to eat supper and have cake and ice cream. Anyway...Happy Birthday Dad !!!
