Finally an update
Hi to all!
I'm finally gettting an update done on here- it's about time. Life has been hectic lately- with school out it seems as if there is less structure to life. Trying to come up with ideas to keep all the kids occupied, keep track of their summer activities and trying to stay on top of life in general takes some adjustment. The heat and humidity make one less inclined to get things done as well.
Last month I took the girls to the county fair and we've been to the beach a couple times so far. They seem to enjoy trying to "borrow" floaty raft!! My biggest excitement lately has been this week of vacation time!!! On sunday we met family at Yellowstone Lake for lunch, boating, jet skiing and visiting. And more eating. Unfortunately on the way home a kid decided to run a stop sign and hit the back of my van. At first look it appeared that only the bumper molding was damaged, now it looks as if the back wheel and quater panel are damaged as well. The insurance company has been very helpful about getting repairs set up. I was very happy that no one was injured and the van is drivable. And that the kid admitted his brakes were shot and he didn't stop- makes the liability of the accident much easier to determine. On top of this when we finally made it home Sunday night Ashley had a little surprise for us- she found a kitten on the way home from work. It is a sweet little white/ orange girl/(not positive about that yet) who loves to be held and petted- she purrs like a little tractor! The humane societies are not accepting any cats right now and I couldn't dump her- we think she was dumped where she was found. She is so sweet but sooo skinny! We'll see how this works out. On Thursday we're going to the state fair- i haven't had a cream puff for years- I seem to have withdrawal every year at this time. The dad of 2 of the kids we watch works for US Cellular and he gave us tickets to the fair- saves $8/person. Christina is planning on joining us so that'll be fun!
Have a great day!!!!!

We'll try this idea...
| Hi to all! Figured it was time to join the rest of the world and try a little harder to keep in touch at the same time. Last week started with work and ended at the spa. Poor Christina's surgery was a rotten part of the week but she said she's feeling much better now so it all worked out. I spent 2 1/2 days at a spa in the Dells getting spoiled and relaxing- so odd to not pick up after myself and others too! I had a couple massages, a mud wrap and a pedicure. My 1st day was a hot stone treatment and detoxifying mud wrap- we joked I got stoned and detoxed in the same day! lol It was a major highlight- we'd been planning this trip for a year! The girls held the fort down at home with Alex being back up- the house was still standing when we returned so I think they did all right. They went to see Ratatouille and to Culvers while I was gone. plus got to eat lots of junk food and stay up late so I don't think they were too upset to have me gone! Time to get some other stuff done, Have a great day! Linda |
