Wow, you guys have been busy. I had lots of catching up to do. Was busy last week with spiritwear and reading program along with the neverending stream of events I needed to transport my children to and from. Then there was actual work to do here-how dare they interrupt my online socializing with work!

Feeling good today: got a big grant from Target for the reading program-gonna put some books in the hands of these little cuties in our schools!

I've got a giant chocolate cake to celebrate!!

Like I said ... I'm a cream and sugar with coffee in it kinda' gal! Nothing froofy, just Dunkin' Donuts.
At home I LOVE Int'l Creamer... hazelnut. Can't have a cup without it!
Off to take care of all of the pets.... more pets than kids= ZOO!

Oh, STOP, you're killing me!!! I only get Starbucks on the weekends now and only if we head to Huntsville or Birmingham. This weekend we stayed home so, nope, no Pumpkin Spice latte. Maybe next weekend. Lucella, if you go back today, have one for me to.....

We spent all day yesterday in the garage working on our poor, neglected Road Runner. Seems like it's got a blown head gasket between the #3 and #5 cylindars and burned rings on #6. What a mess. That means the whole top end of the engine has to come apart. Aye yi yi. Hubby said if he didn't know better he'd think the garage was infested with chiggars because his skin itched all evening. Mine did too. I said, "You know what? I'll bet it was the bits of that blown-in fiberglass insulation that's always all over the floor. I was practically rolling in it. (Don't ask - but it takes all of my body parts to work on under that stinkin' car!)

Well, I'm off to the gym because I haven't punished my body enough yet.....

p.s. Lucella, I like the whipped cream and sprinkles on my froofy coffee.....

Mornin'!
Someone mentioned the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks & I HAD to try it. OH my word~yum! It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had. I'm not generally a froofy coffee gal-gimme plain coffee, black- but this was so so so so good. Thanks for the tip~ I think I'll be right back there today. (Also the carmel apple cider sounded pretty tempting!)

Hey B! It's nice to see you. Congrats on the new job. I hope you love it. Yeah, the weather was scary but we were spared. I drove through town yesterday. It looks like Friday's storm took out a lot of huge trees. It was a mess. Luckily Saturday's storm wasn't as bad for us. We were just outside the worst of it.

I just checked out your website. Very nice. Love, love, love the fun Halloween theme. If I lived where you live, I'd join your PTO! I can see just how busy you are. Your school is so lucky to have you.

Hey all - man I miss being on here. I feel like I never have time anymore. I do come back to check up on you all!

CC- the weather wasn't fun the other night was it? They said that there was a tornado about 5 miles from me...not sure. I slept thru the entire thing.

d- I hope you are doing well. Email me with what's been going on.

And to everyone else that is on here...I hope that you are all doing well!

You all know that I have promised to check back more often...I go on vacation soon and then I start a new job - more money, less hours, but same stress level - so maybe I can...just maybe I can get back on here.

Take care of you!!
B
