31 oktober Up with the Chickens AgainI really did try to sleep for another hour. It went something like this:
~ Drift slowly out of a dream (can't remember it now). Lay there for minute, I'll fall back asleep, I just know I will. ~ Open eyes real quick to look at the clock, hoping you didn't miss the alarm -- whew -- at least another hour. ~ Roll over to get real comfy again. Rearrange pillow cause your head is really not comfortable. Stick feet out of covers to cool off a little as it's getting a little warm. (Aren't feet like thermometers? If they're cold, your cold or visa versa). ~ Start to drift off --ahhhhhhhh. Hey! Today's Eric's Halloween Parade. Imagine him in his costume, the little cutie. ~ Start to drift off...........I hope I remember to get the candy out of hiding this morning before I leave for work, in case Nik gets any early trick or treaters. ~ Lay there for a minute thinking if there is anything else you need to remember to do this morning before heading to work. ~ No - I don't think so -- start to drift off. ~ I wonder if the kids ate all the lunch meat, I think I'll take lunch today. ~ I gotta remember to pay the cable so I can switch to that all the Best Thing with TV, Phone and Internet. I'll swing by after the parade. ~ Damn my arm is falling asleep -- switch positions. Look at clock ~ Pull feet back in covers -- getting chilly now. ~ Side of leg itches - try to ignore it cause your too comfortable. ~ Scratch leg ~ Think how you have to pick up more body lotion. It's that dry skin time of year. ~ Wonder when you will ever move to Florida - with all the tanning lotion your skin won't get dry. Think more of Florida. Wonder if North or South Carolina is better. Wonder where you'll really end up moving when the time comes. ~ Look at clock ~ Hot coffee enters your mind. Ummmm that'll taste good this morning and since I remembered to set it up the night before, it'll be ready fast. ~ Push feet out of covers again -- whew it's is sure is hot in here. ~ Toss covers aside -- damn it's hot in here. ~ Realize you are having another of those hot flash thingies. ~ Look at clock ~ Get out of bed, stomp to kitchen and turn on coffee. Go to bathroom. Return to bedroom for robe. Hot flash thingie is over. ~ Turn on computer...............Stare mindlessly for a few minutes, sign into spaces, go get coffee. So - Good morning my friends. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hold on gotta get my slippers - my feet are cold.
 So you see, I really do try to stay in bed longer. It just doesn't work that way. But like I said before I really can't get too mad as I get to spend some uninterrupted quiet time here. Time to catch up with what's new with you all, and to talk to someone in my head without worrying that I'll accidently talk out loud and someone will look at me strangely.
Eric is doing fabulous so far in school. Nik says he runs up the path and down the hallway right to his classroom - with a few little stops to examine the gym room, and the restrooms on the way. Nik will say - no Eric not that one and he'll run to the next door.
Today is supposed to be almost 70 degrees - wonderful for Halloween. Kevin has decided to do a little work upstairs after coming home from work, to avoid the trick or treaters. Scrooge -- no wait that's Christmas. I, however, will go with Eric and Nic to show Eric off to the neighbors, take more pictures and wait for Jamie to bring Kevin and Kaelynn so I can see their costumes, and take even more pictures.
Anyway - I'm off to do some visiting to see what you all are up to. I may even do another blog this afternoon with the pictures from Eric's First Halloween Parade. So if your here now, check back later to see! Till then take care!
 ------------------------
I added Eric's parade pictures...unfortunately I am still having trouble with my camera - getting used to it that is -- and the best ones came out blurry. Hopefully Nik got some good ones. Hell I even took a picture of the cement and there was one of the clouds with half a building. This camera is so touch and so much work. I need one that you point and click. Grrrrrrrrr -- Anyway - I'll get more later when we tour the neighborhood. Maybe then I won't be so rushed and have tons of people getting in my way! 30 oktober Yea Cindi!CINDI WON THE FOOTBALL POOL!!
WAY TO GO CINDI -- 11 WINS OUT OF 12
I'm work trying to stay busy looking for my boss - while chatting on the IM with Cindi. Neither one of us could think of anything for me to blog about. Besides, it's hard to get going and do a good blog is my boss keeps interrupting me to do something pertaining to my job. I could do the tag thing that Skip tagged me with but that requires too much thought about myself for the moment. Hard to chat, work and think about me all at once. So I'll save that for another day. Let's just all give a great big Hooray to Cindi and I'll do an early morning update when I can concentrate. Besides the boss is very active today. So till tomorrow! 27 oktober Good Morning Jane!Jane thinks I get up way to early and I tend to agree with her most times. But after falling asleep on the couch at 7:30 last night, rising this morning at 4:00 a.m. was unavoidable. I plopped on the couch to play with Eric and when he decided he'd had enough playing and wandered off, I plopped back on the pillow and fell fast asleep. Oh well -- I don't mind all that much. I get the house to myself, a pot of coffee and I can visit leisurely with my friends without any interruption. Added to the fact that I am on my daughters mega fast laptop after a brief hissy fit hooking it up, I'm pretty content. Yep, she heard me saying swear words and came down to do it for me. All huffy and such -- she's so funny.
Nik is dragging me to K-Mart this morning to put Daniels X-Box for Christmas on layaway. Actually I think it's their present to each other. It's the only way she can afford to do it. Yep, learns from her mom she does. If the money goes on the layaway it can't be frittered away on soda's and Coffee Colatta's from Dunkin Donuts.
Speaking of soda's - the reason I allowed her to drag me to the mall is because I want to hit TJ Max to see if I can buy some drinking glasses. You see out of my set of 8 glasses, there are only two left and the kids have resorted to using my Commemoritive glass mug that I got at my 20th High School Reunion as a glass. You see, in this house the resident ghost must be stealing my glasses each time she breaks one. No one else will admit to it. They just disappear into thin air. One day I have six, the next 4, soon after I'm seeing only 2. And yes, I've searched the rooms.
And another thing while I'm at it...Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the 2nd half of a glass or can of soda? I'm not a soda drinker, so I can't figure it out. I used to buy the 12 packs of canned soda. Hubby and I would find half finished cans of soda all over. So I figured ok --- the soda on the bottom of the can must have something wrong with it. So I began buying 2 liter bottle instead along with plastic cups. Alas -- we found half full glasses of soda all over. Hmmm - could it be the cups? But when the plastic cups were gone, they used glasses and we found half full glasses instead. Not only that, my glasses started disappearing right around then. So -- what's the story?? Anyone have a clue? Why pour a whole glass each time and finish only half? All the time? This has been going on for years. I thought once the kids it their teens and more it would stop. NOT!
The weatherman is predicting 2 days of heavy rain this weekend so it's puttering around the house this weekend. I have no problem with that. Rainy weekends are made for house puttering. Can't very well rake leaves if they are glued to the ground now can we. Actually the weatherman may be right. I can hear the rain pouring down outside now.
Well my friends, I think I'll do a little visiting till the sun comes up. Take care and have a nice weekend. 26 oktober Hi everyone!The pre-school is awesome. We set Eric down during the tour and classes were in session. The first place we went was the gym, two teachers were working with little ones Eric's age and after watching for a bit Eric played too while the Director explained the different activities and what they taught the children there. She was very impressed when Nikki talked to Eric using the bit of sign she learned from the speech therapist. From there we went to the classroom where Eric would attend. There were 7 or 8 little ones with 3 teachers involved in what is called floor play, which basically, from what I could understand, helps the teahers get on level with the kids and while playing, teach. Eric again joined in like he belonged and it was so heartwarming to watch both the teachers and children welcome him. My heart melted as I watched one little boy smile and hand Eric a little Matchbox car (one of his favorite toys). And there was the usual struggle when another little one had a car Eric wanted. LOL! But the teacher was amazing as she worked with them on the word "share".
We talked as Eric explored. Besides the three teachers in the room, there are various theraphists who arrive and work with each child one on one. Speech therapists, Special Ed, and Occupational. The teachers lead the kids in various activities, crafts and games, designed to help them with group play. And of course there is snack time. This is all designed to help integrate them smoothly into the school system when the time comes.
I was very impressed when as we talked in the hallway afterwards, and some of the older children walked by to go to different places, she knew each by name and smiled and even on occasion gave a hug. There was so much more to tell and I'm sure as time goes by I will better understand alot more of what they do. But for now starting Monday, Eric will go to school for two and a half hours each day. Backpack and all. We once again have a school schedule hanging on our refrigerator. Eric will take part in the Halloween Parade next Wednesday and you all know that Grandma will be there with her new camera.
After we arrived home, the "Candle Lady" arrived with our candle order from last time and to pick up my party. I did get my booking and enough to enjoy 25% free merchandise (about $75.00). I was also eligible for $50 in free stuff for 9.95 which I took advantage of. So let's just say I'm not only stocked up on candles, but I have a gift or two as well for Christmas presents. And -- since Nik booked the party, I'll end up buying something from her too.
That's about it for now as it's time to grab the shower before anyone else does.
I AM SO HAPPY ITS FRIDAY!!
23 oktober WowI am just amazing. 13 out of 14 right on my football sheet. Wow, who knew? I must have a gift. Of course it wil never in a million years happen again, but I'm enjoying the amazement of my guys. The most they got was 9 right. And my Chargers weren't even playing this week.
Everything is well this week. Nik and I are taking Eric to the daycare on Thursday morning and are pretty excited. With the rain and wind, the poor little guy doesn't get too much outside time. He loves outside so much and he is getting restless. The time he will spend with Nikki at the daycare, will help take care of some of his boundless energy. He woke at 1:30 a.m. last night wide awake.
Halloween will be here next week. We are dressing Eric as a pirate. I bought a great Pirate costume at Old Navy. I can hardly wait to see him in it. We want to make sure Kaelynn and Kevin Jr get together with Eric early in the day, so we can get pictures before they all get tired of their costumes and take half of them off. And before Kaelynn gets a candy buzz. She loves her candy. Jamie has to watch her like a hawk.
Speaking of Halloween, the boss is leaving for Florida for 3 weeks vacation then. Lucky man. I could use a little of that Florida weather and the beaches. He keeps threatening to move there and boss us around by computer, phone and fax machine. I asked if he needed his bookkeeper close by as an assistant, I'd be willing to relocate. He said no...mean man. Leaving us all behind to deal with the frigid weather.
Other than that, not much else is new. Most of our focus has been on Eric. I have read Jenny McCarthy's new book (actually I devoured it in one day) and it was great. It's very educating and a bit scary at the same time. Her dedication and devotion to learning of autism is amirable. It's a hard road because there are so many misconceptions, contradictions and flat out denial about autism. Each child is different and her perserverence in her research and putting what she found in this book has taught me alot. The scary part is that without her perserverence and determination, her Evan would not have gotten the help he needed because no one told her what to do after the diagnosis. No one said here is what you need to do now. Why? With so many more of our children being diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum, shouldn't more doctors be educating themselves? Thank heaven I read that book. Thanks Jenny - Nik and I are a bit more knowledgeable now. We have a long road ahead of us. Our Eric is worth every minute.
Goodness, where has the time gone? Have to get moving and start the day. Take care everyone! 19 oktober RamblinWhew, was it me or did Spaces take a vacation? I couldn't get in all day, no matter how hard I tried. Either with the home computer or work. Even when I went to others spaces it said "No!" It made me nervous cause I wondered when I did get in what changes I would find. So far I don't see any, but you never know.
It's Friday evening and we are expecting some storms here. The air has been very heavy and humid all day with very gray skies. Kind of a weird day. Like the air was waiting for something. Wonder how bad the storms will be. The wind is picking up and the sky is darker than normal for this time of day.
Tomorrow Kev will finally get around to painting the bathroom. Nik and I are sneaking off to the mall -- yipeee! Mall day, girl day, how good can it get? We might even drive up to the apple orchard for some cider donuts if the weather is ok. Poor Eric will be so tired by the time we get home he will sleep for days. NOT! He is the least sleepingest (is that a word) kid I know. Hates to miss anything. The weird weather must be getting to him too. He's very crabby today. Warm tropical air, very heavy, storms, wind.
Today I noticed all the colorful leaves as I was driving. They have been changing but they seem to be at their peak right now. The one in front of the neighbors house is still green though, it's always late to turn, but when it does it's so gorgeous. I'll have to remember to take a picture for you this year.
Well - I'm just rambling because there really isn't much to say today. I'm headed off to do a little visiting and then to close out my Partylite party. Still haven't found a booking, but I haven't given up yet. I'll rope someone into it. Take care everyone and have a great weekend.
17 oktober CoolI'm a weekly winner once again in Cindi's football contest. Wish I could do as well in our little family football pool. Haven't won yet. I know it's only a little change for spending money, but it's a matter of pride here people. Having 4 of the male gender glued to the tv set now for years on Football Sunday, you'd think I'd be as up on it as they are. But no - I'm always missing something or should I say someone important who is out with an injury or such and is important to a team I picked. Funny part of it is, if I had picked the same ones at home that I picked on Cindi's contest, I would have won this week. Go figure.
The week is going by nicely. Work has gotten more relaxed and not so frantic. I'm planning the company Christmas party and actually that is fun. Very easy since I've done it for the last 6 years. But the head honcho goes all out for this party - so I have fun planning it. Best of everything.
I've been working on a book party for Partylite Candles. A friend of Nikki's had a party, but because of the Christening, we couldn't attend, but did order. She needed one person to have a party so she could get the 25% of sales, rather than only 10%. So...guess who volunteered. Anyway, I didn't really think I would get many sales. I used to be a Consultant for them years ago, and loved it. But since then, they have gotten very pricey. But I am spoiled and those candles are the only ones I will use, so I figured either way, I could stock up (I only buy the candles, not the holders). Especially for the holidays. Anyway, I did much better than I thought I would, and now I'm the one who needs someone to have a party. Go figure. Oh well, I'll talk somone into it. And I'll end up having candles enough for a year.
Other than that, the week is going by smoothly. Nikki has an appointment on the 25th at a day center for Eric. I say day center, but it's only for 2 hours each day that she decides to bring him. It is similar to a pre-school except it is for Autistic children. They have 10 children attending and ther is "one on one" activities for the kids. I have heard wonderful things about the progress of the kids attending this. Added to the fact he will be around other children and will start learning the social skills that I understand most Autistic children are lacking. We are very excited about it. Nikki will be there with him and able to watch as they interact with him, learning more of how we can work with him at home.
Well -- it's time to start my day. Quiet time is done. The boys are up, and setting off for work, so the bathroom is all mine for a bit. Take care all! 15 oktober And along comes MondayRight on schedule...
So I hope everyone's weekend went well. Mine was quite nice. We did nothing special, but I enjoyed it just the same.
Anyway - one of the reasons I'm updating today is because I am quite confused and was hoping some of you can help. I don't know if all of you know that New York's Gov. Elliot Spitzer wants to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens. He want's to make it so you don't need a SS number to have a license. I for one am not understanding this deal. I'm not always the smartest when it comes to politics, and I ususally stay out of it and don't mention much of politics here on my space. But I am so astounded by this. If I am to understand this correctly, he wants to give licenses to people who are here in the US illegally. Aren't illegal aliens supposed to be sent home to where they came from if they are caught in the US illegally? If not they why are they illegal aliens? And why in the first place would they register for driver's licenses? They're not here legally so won't they be afraid they will be snatched up and sent home? As to the statment that we can keep better track for the security of our country, well I really don't think someone who is going to do harm to our country is going to bother to apply for a license so they can be tracked.
Also as I heard someone mention -- how fair is this to the people who have applied for citizenship? The ones who come to our country the right way. Who work hard to learn the language and history of their new home.
I don't know -- I'm just so confused by the logic of all this. It's not the only time I am confused by the logic of politics, but this just boggles my mind. Please can someone tell me if I'm missing something here? Am I looking at something the wrong way or am I misinformed somehow?
Ok- back to work. Thanks for letting me vent. And thanks in advance for anyone who can help me make sense of this.
 13 oktober Brrrrrrrrrr -- Old Man Winter is on his way.You know if I'm thinking it's cold now, what am I going to do in winter. My goose is cooked. Layers -- that'll work I guess. Lots of turtlenecks, sweatshirts and sweaters. I must go shopping. It's only October and I'm in a tank top, thermal shirt and sweatshirt. We haven't turned the heat on yet, but it's probably going to happen today. I'm trying to hold out for the lower utility bills. With the pool off and no heat yet, they are always much lower.
I saw something on tv the other day that's kind of stuck with me. An optimistic person is someone who wakes up in the morning and thinks "what can I make better today?" I really liked that. Then I got to thinking - hmmm - can someone really make something better each day. So I'm thinking - what can I make better today. I haven't come up with anything yet. Does things like cleaning count? I mean if I sweep the millions of leaves off the front porch, that makes it better right? Yet somehow I don't think that's what that saying meant. Can anyone out there help? What somethings can one person do each day to make something better? I know that there are big things and little things, and I guess that daily things must mean the little things. Geez I sure can complicate things can't I?
I believe I've always been an optimistic person. Hubby on the other hand is such an obvious pesimist (sp?). I'll buy a lottery ticket and he'll say "why are you buying that? You'll never win." I reply "hey you never know".
So lets see, what's on the agenda for this weekend. Kevin is doing some bathroom renovations. (Hey, is he making the bathroom better?) I have my usual chores and I have to go put my usual Christmas layaway on. Every year I do this and pay it weekly till Christmas. Around here many stores extend their layaway period to 90 days. This way I don't have to hide presents and such for the kids to "accidently" find. I learned that lesson long ago. I put things like the kids underwear on sale. Yep, mom can always be counted on every Christmas to provide new underwear. It's a longstanding tradition. And yes, I still know what kind of underwear my 28 year old wears. He does his laundry when he's home. Then there's the DVD's -- I know what movies they loved and which ones they didn't. Granted I can't put everything on layaway, just the predictable stuff, but it sure makes it easier as the holdiays get closer. I'm such a procrastinator that any little thing that makes it easier helps. We won't discuss the wrapping marathon on Christmas Eve. I'm once again pledging to do better at the wrapping thing this year.
Listen to me talking about Christmas already. I bet you are all moaning (if you've even gotten this far)..Debbie it's not even Halloween yet!!!! Well one can never plan far enough ahead ya know. This from the procrastinating queen -- who is also an optimist.....
Well, I'm off to make something better and I'll start with the laundry downstairs. Take care ya'll and have an awesome weekend. And to those of you in the North -- stay warm!
-------------------------
HEAT'S ON!!!!! 08 oktober This is just weirdHere I am on the computer at home and it's 7:00 at night. Just feels weird.
Kevin is bowling, Nik and Daniel are having dinner at a friends, and Sir Charles is with them. So it's me and Erci hangin out. Eric is watching Sponge Bob and has no interest in me at the moment. That'll change soon.
I'm just checkin in to say hello. Not much new today. OH!! I DID GET A $2.25 RAISE!! Good deal. Just in time for the damn Christmas shopping deal.
Weekend was good -- I stunk at my football sheet and lost $80.00 down the toilet. Ok - I'll explain. I already told Jane, but it was necessary to let her know she was not alone when it came to the one mistake we make in our lives and our family never, ever lets us forget it.
Friday night, Nik gave me $80.00 that she owed me. Being in my p.j.'s (which is a tank top and p.j bottoms) and in my comfy chair with a book, I just tucked it down the front of my shirt, thinking I'd just put it in my purse when I got up. Well, I promply forgot about it until the next morning while I was putting clothes into the dryer. PANIC ATTACK! I looked everywhere and had the whole family combing the floors, emptying their pockets (ha - just kidding) -- and picking through the trash and plastic detergent bottles (I had bagged them up for recycling that morning).
As for the flushing down the toilet part, I'm sure that's what happened. This is the part Jane doesn't know.
Our bathroom is across the hall from the master bedroom (me being the master). I am one of those people who can see clearly in the dark. Or maybe it's just that I've lived here for so long I know the layout. Anyway - I got up during the night to go to the bathroom, and didn't turn the light on. (I wonder if it's spider bites on my butt rather than the mosquito's I'm blaming it on). OK, too much info. BUT - I bet being the busty person that I am - NOT - it was flushed away when I headed back to bed. Yep, that's what happended. And like I told Jane, I watched everyone's spending habits for two days, so that can't be it. (kidding again) - I know they would have given it to me because it was all I had. Soooo - maybe someday, I'll find it in an unexpected place. But for now I have to live through everyone in my family making sure I'm putting my money in my purse all the time. Geeez -- one time and I can't live it down.
Ok -- almost time to settle Eric in for the night. Wednesday is payday and I'll have some spending money again (plus I hold the checkbook) so all is well in my little corner of the world. I hope all is well in yours as well. Take care! 06 oktober Courage -- what a lovely word...Wow - it's the weekend already. It's been a busy week and time has gone by quickly. September is done and the accounting period ended, but I'm still waiting for the bank statement to finalize it, and moving the files to make room for this year is not my idea of a good time. Things have been busy here at home as well. Even with all the activities and special occasions winding down, other things take center attention. Eric can sure keep a body busy around here.
We have been having some worries about Eric for quite awhile, as he is not vocalizing as he should for his age group or communnicating as he should be. The worries weren't much at first, because there was some progress. Being the wonderful mommy that she is, and going by her intuition, Nikki mentioned it to her Dr in Florida and although he wasn't overly concerned because Eric was so young (about 18 months at the time) he decided to have Eric evaluated. It was discovered that Eric had some speech difficulties and some sensory issues. They were told he needed Speech and Occupational Thereapy to help him along.
Nikki and Daniel discussed ways to make this happen and decided that they needed to come back to New York to get Eric the care he needed. Not because it was any better care here, than in Florida, but they needed the help and support of family. (In short, Nikki needed her mommy). She was scared and worried and needed not only help in understanding what she was dealing with, but enouragement and support to do it.
Anyway, upon arriving back in NY, Daniel immediately started working at his old job, and Nikki started the long process of applying for insurance and setting up contact with the Early Intervention Program in the area. It's been a long process - lots of waiting. For appointments, medical records to be transferred. Evaluations had to be redone.
Eric started his therapy a little over a month ago. They do home therapy where Eric is most comfortable. It started with twice a week, speech therapy and is now twice a week occupational therapy as well. Therapy four days a week. We have seen so much progress it is amazing. His communication skills have increased and he is now saying words and babbling away. Nikki and her caseworker Ellen will be looking into Center based programs to add to the home theraphy so that Eric can be around other children and Nikki can be around other adults. With Daniel being at work all day, Nikki and Eric are isolated at times and both need the time away from the house. The programs are 2 hours long and she can bring him as much as she wants. This will help his communication skills and get him ready eventually for school. Nikki wants to be around educators and such as much as she can, to learn as much as she can.
Alas, one more evaluation needed to be done. Eric needed a "diagnosis" in order to proceed with the Early Intervention program. That evaluation was Tuesday. Nikki and Daniel both attended, and from what I gather, Eric was in no mood for it. He had fallen asleep in the car and was crabby and irritable to begin with. Surrounded by strangers and such he just didn't want to participate. The doctor tested the best he could, and with the help of Nikki's caseworker "Ellen", they were able to reach a diagnosis. That diagnosis is Autism. Although the doctor did stress that because Eric is young the diagnosis could, or might not, change as he is older. I guess there are different levels, but I am not really sure as I know so little right now about Autism. My nephew's little girl Morgan (you have seen her in my pictures) is diagnosed with PPD -- I believe this is a form of Autism, but since I am not all that knowledgeable yet, I'm not sure. But she had the same difficulties at her age that Eric has now. I've done constant research each day (seeking out the special toys the therapists suggest as well as sites that explain Autism) and have come to understand a little more about what we will be experiencing. Actually both Nik and I have become both teacher and student as we educate each other. We still know only a tiny fraction, but heck -- we're not done learning yet, if we ever will be done.
I have to tell you that I have always been proud of my daughter, but never more proud than I am at this time. Her determination, even through her fear and pain for Eric has been astounding. She works tirelessly with him all the time, carrying over what her theapists have taught her and suggested. And into not only his routine, but all of ours. It is my joy to care for him when she needs some time for herself and time with Daniel. The little guy is my heart.
Eric -- he's his sweet loveable self. Loves to laugh, play, loves trucks and cars, water and is always able to make us laugh and smile. I can spend hours watching the little guy as he explores his world. It's hard sometimes watching his diffuclties. Ah, but he is our Eric and brings so much joy into our home.
Anyway, I will keep you all posted of course, as time goes on. I come here for the friendship, enouragement and laughter that you all give me. Even though here may be times it takes me awhile to tell you the hard stuff in my life, I am always sure that the shared experiences and insights you give will bring me through another day. My emotional level in the past few days has been high off he chart (as the expression goes), and it's been hard to write this. Being strong for Nik, Daniel and Eric, I tend to put my emotions aside sometimes to deal with on my own. I'm so glad I can come here and share it with you.
I'm all coffee'd out, at it's only 5:30 a.m. -- Geez - now what do I do with myself? Have a nice weekend everyone. Till later! 02 oktober Just a bit foggy this morningI decided to do some visiting early this morning because my brain is a little foggy and probably any blog I type would make no sense to anyone at all but me. Unfortunately that didn't work out because this computer has such low memory and is so old, most of the spaces I visit freeze completely. I get so frustrated with this stupid thing. I do need a new one. Yep, new computer to go with my new camera. What do I think? I'm made of money? Geez.........
Anyway the coffee is starting to kick in and the paper isn't here yet. Maybe I can get an update done. Ummmm, hmmm let's see. What's new? Nothing....(chugging more coffee here).
Well my Chargers really suck at football this season. Honestly what was anyone thinking putting that guy on as head coach. Obviously they weren't. As you can see by the little picture Cindi put in my guestbook, they lost again this week. Playing her Chiefs. I guess I'll just have to relive the glory days of last year, as I don't think they will be doing anything special this year. Hang in there LT -- maybe the new coach will get a cold or something in one of the Northeastern States and someone else will give you your chance for glory again.
The weekend was very nice, even though I didn't make the Apple Festival I wanted to go to. Oh well, there is another this coming weekend. Not as big, but I think we will find something to do. This one is called the Harvest Festival. I hope they at least have some crafts and such. It does say they have kids activities so Eric will be happy.
Well folks, that's all I have for ya. This brain of mine just doesn't want to kickstart this morning. The paper will be here shortly, so I guess I'll just sit and stare into space for a bit till it gets here. Or I can always work on my Christmas list....LMAO...yeah o.k.
Have a great day everyone.
