Rounding out the week/month

Hard to believe that we are at the end of August. School has started and all 3 boys seem to be getting into the groove. The dog is nearing the end of treatment for her kennel cough (which I swear I got!!) Scott is having back pain, I am having shoulder pain...the fun goes on and on!!

We're looking forward to a quiet weekend, but I'm sure that something will divert our attention from relaxing. I'd like to get a few projects done around the house this weekend, but I don't want to get my hopes up on it. We got a rose bush as a wedding/house warming present, and NEED to get it into the ground-that is a must. Laundry is piling up, so will be taking care of that, too.

Also want to get the wedding pictures online so the family can see them. Gee, it's only been 3 months!

More to come

You'd think things would settle down by now...

The party's over...and was it a blast!! Roughly 60 people passed through the doors at 634 Morningside. It poured rain (thank goodness we had our gazebo up and had borrowed a pop up one from Scott's brother!) but all in all, it was super! Scott and I now have to work on thank you notes!!

School has started and I'm not sure whether to be relieved or slightly sad, as all 3 are in high school. Darn is it expensive!! The 2 youngest need $100 calculators. Scott and I have to wait until next pay day to accomplish this. And I am watching all good deals, so you know I won't be paying full price!! LOL!

Seems like every day flies by and the evenings go faster. Getting out of bed at 6 just basically sucks. Seems like I'm not getting enough sleep. Sigh.

Work is unusual, as I think we are either "merging" or getting bought out. Things are tense and people are totally on edge. The process seems to be going rather quickly, too. Should be interesting to track the changes...if I'm here to track them.

From the "If It's Not One Thing, It's Another" files:

-The dog got Kennel Cough at the vets while she was there during our party...so we have to get her some meds for that.

-Someone threw a rock through Justin's rear window last week, and the next day his back door window shattered. We replaced the rear window at a cost of close to $300 but have resorted to heavy plastic and tape to get us by on the other window.

We will get through it. God doesn't give us anything we can't handle. But I'm sure He's got a sense of humor as to how we react to some stuff.

More later!

2 months later...

Okay, apparently I have been busy. Parties, baseball, baseball, baseball, stuff around the house, dr's appointments, dentists, work, and more work. I'm looking forward to a break. That will come AFTER our big open house this weekend. Yes, 60+ people coming to share in the joy of our marriage. Aaaaahhhhh! What was I thinking?? It should be fun, but I'm gonna lose my mind getting ready.

We have a new dog, and believe it or not, her name is Princess. She tried to eat Princess Cici-natural dog instinct. So my free dog cost me $600 in bunny vet bills. The bunny is none the worse for wear, however she does sometimes growl. Interesting.

Lost a diamond out of my ring. I feel so bad. I hope Scott doesn't think it's because I'm careless or don't like the ring or whatever. We haven't had it fixed, so I guess I get what I deserve.

More to come.
