Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!?!

PSHYEAH!!! I am SOOO ready! September is one of my very fave months! Hello...Football season starts AND Bluegrass?! Does it get any better? Not to mention David's BDay is in September as well. And I LOVE Fall. Love.It. Don't know why. Don't care to figure it out. Just Love it.

Ches and Miranda are cheering again this year and Ches is Co~Captain of the squad so she's got a lot of responsibility but she can handle it! The girls are practicing very hard and are doing a great job. PLUS, they both play volleyball and have that practice as well. Dang. Busy all the time.

Dallas got off to his first day of school. *tear* It was sweet. He was so brave and just ready to go. David and I spent a couple of days there to be with him and see him off. And Lawrence is ALWAYS a dang good time. And for those of you who don't know...Mass St. is AWESOME and one day I will LIVE on that street. (So sayeth ME) Anyhow, all is well. Kids are great. Bluegrass is around the corner...3rd weekend of September for you non~knowers...Football and VB schrimage this Thursday at OHS...and Dallas comes home this weekend!!

Life is GOOD. oh...and more pics to come, it's late and I'm pooped!!

Pickle Juice Lake

Well, that's what it looks like from under the boat dock anyhow! We went to the little lake just east of our house for a day of swimming and relaxing and with us went...Ches, Dallas, Miranda, Madison, Grandma Janet and Papa Byron. There's a rope swing and a platform to have fun trying flips, cheer jumps and dives. Janet spent about 10 minutes or so on the platform building courage to jump off and I think her arms may still be sore from hanging on! Byron is fearless, and that's all I can say! The kids had a blast, the weather was GORGEOUS and my heart is full!!

Good news x2

It's been a busy week 'round these parts!! First off, I FINALLY got my way (hehe) and got a front loading washer and dryer!! Ya me! They are lovely and I'm looking all over for more laundry to do!! Sounds crazy I know but I seriously don't mind doing laundry and David likes (yes, LIKES!) folding clothes. The pic is from the web sight but you'd better believe I'll probably take a pic of mine (is that sad?) So that's good news ONE.

Good news TWO is that on the very morning that my washer and dryer were being delivered...I received a phone call. I almost didn't answer cause I thought it was a sales call! Anyways, it was a lovely lady that I had given my resume to in FEBRUARY of '07!!! She said I made a great impression and they had a position open and would love to talk to me again. (YEAH ME) Anyhow, I had been sort of looking around for a change. The whole 2nd shift and every other weekend thing was getting OLD. I was missing out on so many things and it honestly was not making me happy. My co~worker and friend Dakotah made it easier since we get along so well and she cracks me up, well, that and she brings me dinner!! But anyways, it was getting frustrating and so I jumped at the chance for an interview and a new opportunity. So just a few short hours after the phone call, I've had my interview, had a fabulously relaxing massage (see above mentioned friend Dakotah if you'd like one, too!) and VOILA....I have a new job!!! I'm going to be doing insurance billing for a medical supply business, 30-40 hours a week, NO WEEKENDS!! and oh ya...1st shift 9ish to 5ish!!

Wish me luck, I start training next week on my off days from the hospital, and for good on August 11.

Now you'll have to excuse me, I have some laundry to tend to!!!!
