We had an alright vacation this year, hubby's mom and sister are well. We got to see the twins for the first time, they are so cute. We did come home after the Arkansas trip as hubby was not doing well in the heat. So the week we were home, we did some work on the house.
Hubby went back to work on Tuesday of this week, and I have gone back to my routine of playing taxi-cab driver for everybody and their brother it seems like.
My van has a bad oil leak somewhere that needs to be fixed, so when I took it into Walmart yesterday to get an oil change done on it, they wouldn't do it. They said the leak was to bad. So I have to get that fixed this week.
And, my sinuses are acting up, so I don't feel real great right now.
Not much else going on.
Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!!
We leave Sunday sometime for our 2 week vacation. I may not be on here till I get back.
Happy Father's to all father's out there! I no longer have my dad, nor does my husband, but we wish a Happy Day to all DAD'S!!
I grew up going to a combination of Public and Catholic schools. I graduated from High School 31 years ago, never went to college of any kind, and now I want to go back. I did not like High School that much,(I thought it was boring) and I don't really care for the public schools these days, but I want to take a college class in History. I am 48 years old and thinking about going back to school, what is wrong with me? Nothing, I just want to go, see what it's like, and take a class in something that I am interested in. Early American History!
We have been busy picking Mulberries from our 2 volunteer trees in the backyard. I have 5 quart size Mason jars full to the brim with Mulberries. 5 jars, FULL. I plan on making a pie on the first of July and taking it with us on vacation.(Don't worry, they are in the freezer). hope they will keep that way. I do have to get more jars though, there are more ripe berries on the trees, and more green ones popping out. Those trees just exploded this year. With any luck, I will get more than 1 pie out of them.
Also planted some more flowers today, too!
I figured it was time to let people know what's been going on lately.
On Thursday, I was told by my Doctor that I am prediabetic, so now I have to really watch what I eat. Seriously considering becoming a Vegetarian.
Yesterday, one of the 1 year old cats gave birth to some kittens, unfortunately, 2 of them died, and the other 2 have disappeared. They were in the box this morning when my son left for school, and by the time I got up, they were gone(a 45 minute time span). I have no idea what mom did with them, we CANNOT find them anywhere.
We go on Vacation 1 month from today!
Other than this stuff, not much else going on.
Hubby and I just got back from eating lunch at Dixon's Chili on 40 hiway. Man, oh man, are they good! Their meat is greaseless, and oh so good. They have all you can Taco's everyday, they also have Chili, of course. We have not tried their Chili yet, but we want to. They are good eats!!
We are through with the cemeteries, thank goodness!
I had to go to the E.R. last night, because I have been having trouble with my left leg hurting bad since Saturday. So, of course, they had to look for a blood clot, couldn't find one. PRAISE GOD! The blood test that they do for that is elevated though, so I don't know what's going on there. They did tell me that my blood glucose is up(124), so I have to really start watching that since, Diabetes runs in my family, and I was Gestational when pregnant with my son.
I am beginning to detest the Memorial Day weekend, as we have 4 different cemeteries to go to. Both National cemeteries in Leavenworth(hubby's dad is on the actual fort, my parents are across town at the other one.) One in Independence, and one in K.C. It is a hassle because we cannot do all 4 in one day, so we have to spread it out. It's a pain! Oh well, it has to be done.
I hope everyone has a safe weekend.
Just not much going on. One of my nephews graduated from High School yesterday, so I went to that. His party was on Saturday, so 2 of my kids and I went to that. My oldest step-son is having a house-warming/ birthday party on the 30th of this month. The birthday party is for his son who will be 16.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOM'S OUT THERE!! Don't forget to call your own Mother's, if they are still with us. Mine is not. I do need to wish my mother-in-law a Happy day, though. We will call her later, as soon as the oldest step-son gets here.
It seems like a lot of people are twittering these days, and practically the whole world is either on Myspace or Facebook. I am on Facebook myself, but I am NOT on MySpace, nor do I Twitter. I really don't see what the big deal is anyway. I am only on Facebook because my son said to me" Mom, you should get on Facebook; all of your family is on there and you'll be able to keep up with what's going on with your siblings and nieces and nephews." Hence, I am on Facebook.
According to salary.com,
I make $11,958.00 a year!
Zsuzsanna's right, someone owes me a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY!!!
We had to go buy a new dryer today because ours quit drying. Found a real good one fairly reasonable at Nebraska Furniture Mart.(No, we do not live in Nebraska, we have one in Kansas that we go to.) Hubby and the 2 boys are installing it now.
My husband likes to use a dryer, I, on the other hand, like to dry my clothes outside if at all possible. But, when we had our deck built in back, one of the clothes line poles had to go, so I can no longer hang my clothes out. Of course, I never was able to because there were no lines.
Not much else going on.
Our front yard has been raked real well. We have no grass, but, it's been raked non the less. We have planted some flowers in front of the house, I can't remember all of them, but I do know we have some snapdragons and a columbine.
In the backyard, we have some herbs: Sage, Rosemary,Basil and Cilantro. I also have 2 tomato plants in the ground, a Red Beefsteak, and a Golden Yellow. And Yesterday, we bought a Japanese Red Maple tree that we got planted today.
More rain is in the forecast for tomorrow, and my kids and I are supposed to go to the ballgame tomorrow night. The Royals v. Toronto Blue Jays. My daughter entered a drawing at work and won four tickets. She works at Crown Center in the Crayola store.
My Uncle passed away Saturday night, the service is tomorrow morning. I stayed at the Lake, while my husband and 1 Sister went home yesterday, they will not be coming back for the funeral. It will be more of a celebration of Life. Thank you for the Prayers!
My Uncle is in the hospital down at the Lake of the Ozarks, he may be gone by tomorrow morning. My siblings and my husband and I will be traveling down there tomorrow. I just ask for prayer for my cousins and safe travel for all of us.
The Duggar family has announced another pregnancy, this time it is Joshua and his bride Anna who are expecting!
I wish you well!
They could not find anything wrong! PRAISE GOD!!!
You know, after got in the back and they got me hooked up to the IV, and I had time to relax, I stopped worring about it and just turned everything over to the Lord. It's all good!
