TGIF indeed!!!   Had a pretty good day yesterday.   I worked then went garage saling a big with Sadie.  We found her a couple of outdoor type toys for the yard.   I am sooo glad it's Friday.   I could so easily head back to bed right now.  We have company in town this weekend so we'll enjoy them as much as we can.   They are my husband's aunt and uncle......as well as sadie's godparents.   I have errands to run but nothing too bad...just grocery shopping type of stuff.   I think I might go do it this afternoon so it'll be out of the way. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Court, sounds like your weather is good for walking, that's a bonus!!!  When are your step-daughter's out of school for the summer?

Michelle...... CrockPot!!!!  Once it's in the pot.... it's all done!!!!

Things are going well here.  The high school graduation ceremony last night was GREAT!!!!
I enjoyed myself.
Not too much plannned tonight, just trying to keep Hunter occupied, so that DH can do his last-minute stuff for the Friday Fling tomorrow.  I am SOOOOO glad that we were able to get this house last year, with a shop, so that he can do his woodworking hobbies.  I really think that DH and I are both "goal-orientated" people, so, it is nice for him to have a hobby, and now, he is working towards one of his goals!!!!  YAY!!!!!

Morning all!  How are you?  Good here.  Got a chance to get out and enjoy the weather yesterday, took a couple of walks.  Not sure what is in store for today.  Work of course and then home.  Hubby is considering letting the girls stay with their mom tonight in order to spend more time with her and get settled since they just haven't had a chance to do that.  We shall see.  Hope you all have a great one!

Oh Court I sooo feel your frustration!!   I can't believe you still haven't heard anything.   Keep bugging them.   I think I made the banker very angry in our situation but I went above her head and that's when we finally started getting somewhere.    I agree with Jamie...what a great "MOM" you are to have been there when they needed you and to continue to be there for them.   They will always remember that as they grow older.   Glad you have gotten to enjoy some quiet time at home with hubby.  

We had a good day yesterday.   Sadie loves her music class and school...too bad they are both about to be over for the summer.   Although we'll have lots to do to replace it.   DH is on a bocce ball league now and church softball starts soon which we all play.   My son starts his softball practice tomorrow evening.   I'll be busy as ever.   We're excited to start getting some baseball games in to watch as well.   We'll be heading to Minneapolis on Memorial day to enjoy a MN Twins game.   It's right before our anniversary so I think we might just turn it into an anniversary outing.   Sadie will either stay with her brother or my sister said she could come camping for a night with them.   I think I might just take her up on that offer and get us a hotel room.  She's never once stayed with anyone other than us yet.   Speaking of sisters...my oldest sister is in the hospital and has been for a couple of days.   She went in to the ER last week with chest pains and just very weak.   They didn't find anything sent her home thinking it was a pulled muscle in her chest.   She almost passed out at work again on Monday and is still having some chest discomfort.   So far they've found nothing but are keeping her to run some more tests.  I wish we lived closer...this is my sister that has 7 kids...4 of which are still at home and fairly young.   The youngest 3 are girls that she adopted...if it was summer I could take them for a week for her but they're still in school.   Maybe I'll make that offer anyway once school is out and give her a break. 
Today I have no plans.  DH has a meeting tonight but Sadie and I will be home relaxing.   LOL I think I need it.   We stopped at a restaurant for dinner last night and Sadie was being a typical 2 yr old not sitting still etc...   She and I went to the bathroom and she kept trying to open the door on me.   I told her now stop it...she looked at me and said, "what's wrong with you? .....are you tired?"    LOL I think I must've been a bit short with her LOL.   I'm getting very excited for the weekend DH's aunt sent me a message about being here this weekend.   Can't wait to spend time with them. 

Jamie,  we have 3 cats....2 of them until we moved here used to go outside and if we didn't have a cover on the sandbox would be right there with your cat...in fact we had a neighbor kid complain about them going in his sandbox LOL woops.   We're planning to build Sadie a sandbox here but will have to figure out some kind of cover.   The cats have yet to venture outside here but I'm sure they will.

Everyone have a great Wednesday!

Court, it is good to hear that the girlies are doing so well.  I am happy for that, because it is hard when things are just in "upheval" and the emotions run high enough, just being where they are age-wise.  And then, all of the stress & emotions, with that situation!!!  So, BIG HUG to YOU, Court  for being there for them when they really, really NEEDED it!!!!  YOU ROCK!!!
And, here's to hoping for some house news, to move things along......


Michelle, girl, you amaze me with how busy you are!!!  And, Hunter is exactly like Sadie, digging in the sand!!!!  Glad to know you are settling in   How did your aunt handle know that you were moving out?  I am thinking she took the news very well, considering that you were going to be officially a homeowner!!!  Has she been able to have another renter get ready/move in?

On a "gross" note..... our cat.... ummmm..... has been..... ummmmm, well, he has discovered the sand box.  We'll leave the rest for your imigination.....  YUCK.  So, I have bee diligent about shooing him outta there.  Glad he's  litter trained & all, but, EEEWWWWWWWW.
Right now, we have a swimming pool with sand in it, courtsey of my sister, it 'appeared' one weekend last summer while were gone camping.  "we got broke into"  hee hee.  And there it was, a swimming pool full of sand!!!!! 

Going to be getting our "new to us" kitchen table tonight (I am officially in love with it!!)  I'll have pictures, after Hunter's b-day party.


Have a GREAT day!!!!!
