Thanksgiving Game Night

So, well again, us girls rule the game night. We had so much fun. I have never laughed so hard in, well, I don't know how long. I cannot wait for Christmas game night!!!

Mixed Feelings

Tonight was my oldest daughters senior pictures. I'm kinda sad about it. I was really thinking about the whole situation while the pictures will be taken. It just seems like yesterday she was 3 years old and being potty trained and then the next thing you know she is graduating from high school and having senior pictures taken. It's gonna be weird not having her around. I'm just kinda sad about the whole thing and don't know how to take it all in.

Why???

Why, I ask, is it so hard for family members to get along and be respectful of each other? For some odd reason it doesn't happen. I understand if you are in a new relationship but don't go and dump all your friends and family. I understand you don't want to spend as much time with me but how can you just up and quit your second job to supposedly spend more time with friends and family but in reality it just doesn't happen and when I say something to you about it you say you will change but doesn't. Do you not see how hurt I am by this? So I just don't say anything and pretend things are fine but they are not. Its too the point I just dont know what to do anymore. I don't want to feel this way but obviously you either don't care or you are so wrapped up in yourself you can't see how hurt I am and other people are.

I am not claiming to be the most perfect person, friend, wife, mother, sister, aunt, daughter or anything but I try my hardest to be a nice person and when I screw up I try to make it better. I may not always be able to be there for someone I truly care about but I try to find time for them to let them know I love them and care about them.

Back to the real world

Well, Monday is back to the grind stone. After 2 weeks of vacation and having some fun in the sun in South and North Carolina and the Iowa State Fair I have to go back to work. How sad am I? Plus, the girls go back to school. Summer has gone by so fast. I am not looking forward to winter time. I really don't like snow and ice. Or for that matter the cold. I like the nice warm weather. I like planting my flowers and working in the yard and shoveling snow is not working in the yard.

Fanny Pruce Rd

So, its Friday, I'm cruising to work thinking yeah, vacation starts in a few hours for 2 weeks and I look over to this road and its called Fanny Pruce Rd. I was like what? Where do you live? On Fanny Pruce Rd. Doesn't it sound so prissy? I find it very funny and I know my friend Mary Ann will also.

Boys Drule, Girls Rule

Yup, I said it. Boys drule, girls rule. We beat the boys on game night!!! Us girls are so very awesome.

Our new baby

Well, we did it. We went and got ourselves a new kitty. We saw an ad on Craigslist where this family had to give up their seal point himaylain b/c their son developed allergies to her. I did show my husband and we discussed it and I said I just didn't know if I was ready b/c it was so soon after my Joplin died. It still hurts to think about Joplin. It always brings tears to my eyes but thats another story. So we agreed that if the ad was still there in about a week or so we would contact the family. Well, hubby contacted them and we went to look at her last night. I instantly fell in love with her. Her name is Chloe, she is 7 years old and she is a lover girl. She is definately a lap kitty. She's just a little bigger than Zeppie. She doesn't have a rockstar name like all the other kitties have but that's ok. So welcome to our family my new little baby Chloe.
