Michelle, Lipton has surely adopted you!!! HA!!!! And, I am glad to know you got to hang out with family this weekend too!!!
We had a nice weekend here as well. We had a blast Friday evening at the fair. Hunter was all kinds of grins!!!
DH is leaving again to go out hunting, so I will be a "hunting widow" again. I sure hope he gets a moose, so he will be in better spirits. It's hard on the guy... cause he wants to be 'macho' and 'conquer' ya know?
Have a GREAT day!!!!

OH I'm right there with you this morning Court. It's been a tough going morning. I woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep so I've been up for half a day already LOL. My business phone line is down again argggg been having this problem for 3 wks. I have a dr appt at 10:40 today to see if or when he wants to do surgery on my carpal tunnel. I had a great weekend....my one sister showed up with PINK hair OMG...she's 43...we all think she's having a very hard time aging...she dresses and obviously does her hair like she's still 20. Her dress didn't hid much either and she just doesn't have the body for it...well other than the chest. She also lost about 100 lbs a while ago and has the extra icky skin to go with it. She and her friend are a bit too OUT THERE for me. I was so glad my other sister and my girlfriend came with me. I did have a good time though dispite all her craziness. I told them next yr for my 40th we are NOT doing that...it's MY birthday next yr not hers LOL. Her's is the 30th mine is the 29th. Yesterday I spent the day with my oldest sister who is packing up to move out from her husband this week. She just needed some support and someone to just hang out with. We went to lunch and a bit of shopping...took Sadie too and Sadie loves her auntie Barbara. She's actually moving only about an hour and a half from me instead of now it's 3 1/2 hrs. Hopefully we'll see her a bit more. She's going to store some things in our garage for now and then this winter will park one of her cars (mustang) in there. She made me a t-shirt with some pictures of Sadie on it too. I love it! Last night DH and I took the dog over to the park and played some bocce ball...he was going to walk the dog home but he pulled and pulled and wouldn't let him ...he wanted to go with momma LOL. The dog is fitting in great...he has a nervous problem and scratches and scratches so we have to give him benedryl off and on. It really does help though. Poor guy. He loves to ride in the car...even so much as he wouldn't let my sister in the front seat yesterday LOL.
Hope you all have a good Monday!
Well I was dragging pretty bad this a.m. when I woke up but am feeling a bit better now. Got some allergies issues so my head is feeling icky. Pretty excited though. Have been working on getting back on track with my nutrition/vitamins/exercise, and as of today I have lost 2 lbs. Had a marvelous weekend. Lots of fun, lots of laid back activities. We really enjoyed it. Not much planned for tonight, probably some quality time with hubby.
A parade, fair, new dog, night out: sounds like you ladies had a fabulous fun weekend too. Glad to hear things are well.
Michelle, Lipton sounds like an AWSOME addition!!!!
This afternoon, I am going to the State Fair to volunteer to do some recycling, and then, DH will pick up Hunter from daycare & meet up with me. Pony rides, here we come!!!!
DH will be coming home from hunting around noon today, and leave again sometime Sunday, not sure what his plans are, but, right now he is "empty handed" and not too happy about that.
So, hopefully, next week will be better.
Tomorrow, Hunter & I are walking in a parade, so that is always FUN!!!!
Have a GREAT weekend, ladies!!

It's been a nice short quick week for me. Only 2 days of work and only 8 hr days woohoo! We got our new 4 legged son last night. He's sooo happy to have a home and people to love him. He slept right next to my side of the bed all night last night. He's spent most of the day right by me here in the office. He's soo big and fat it's just funny....we got him the low calorie food and are not giving him table food at all. Hopefully we can get him thinned out and improve his health. He grunts and snorts constantly LOL. Sadie just loves him and he allows her to cover him up with blankies etc... His name is Lipton. Tonight is cleaning house and doing laundry so I'll have it done before company tomorrow. My one sister is coming for sure along with my niece and some friends....my other sister is thinking about it. She's in the middle of leaving her husband so not sure on if she wants to or not. We're trying to talk her into coming out and having fun. I have a few friends and cousins going with as well tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning Lipton has an appt at the groomers for a bath and nail trimming. He has very sensitive skin and is itching so hopefully that will help. His poor nails are very long. Not sure what we're doing the rest of the weekend. I'm excited to go out though...I even bought a new skirt and shirt to wear...will have to bring my camera.
Court you for sure are a very blessed woman with all those teens to love you!!! I know sometimes it doesn't always seem that way but I'm sure you are really making a difference in their lives.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Boy this has been a long week for me. I am so glad it is Friday. Had a good day yesterday. Finished up work & headed home to the family. Ended up only having one of the girls last night and she was in a mood & stayed in her bedroom so it was a nice quiet night. Hubby and I took a nice walk after dinner. I read for a bit after that and then hit the bed early. Slept like a log and feel a bit energized today.
Not much planned for our weekend. Soccer practice from tonight was rescheduled for tomorrow morning so I will have to get up early to take the youngest to that. She has a knee injury so she can't really practice, she will be "assisting" the coach in order to still participate. Sucks that I have to use my time for that but oh well. Seems like we may have a house full of teens all weekend. The girlies will be there & a couple of our "sons" from the old neighborhood have asked to come over. The girlies struggle with this as they have a hard time sharing so much but these boys don't have much of a home life and really need the love/attention & guidance that we give them. I know we have made a big difference with one of them. My aunt & uncle are visiting at my dads so I will probably head over there to visit a bit tomorrow. We shall see what the weekend actually brings us.
Have a great one!!!

DH said he might come home tomorrow mid-morning, for the weekend (he is on vacation thru the 5th) to spend time with us. I told him, he might want to entertain the idea of going to a different hunting spot next week..... So, maybe he will be a little further away, but, maybe he will get his moose

The State Fair starts up today, and it is RIGHT BY my work, so LOTS of traffic to fight with for the next couple of weeks, but that's just the way it goes. Fair time is fun!!! Kinda like "saying goodbye to summer"
Have a GREAT day, ladies!!!!

On a brighter note we're going to pick up our dog this afternoon when work is over. My son doesn't know we're going though. We told him she's already been adopted and we want to wait a while to see if we really want one so he should be very surprised.
Hope you both have good days as well.
Not too much going on here. Had a quiet evening at home last night. Actually fell asleep early on the couch watch the Yankees game. Feel more rested today. Thinking my allergies are acting up so I am going to take some extra meds to help. Not much planned for today/tonight. Work of course then home to the girlies, back to school night for the oldest so we will have to see if she wants to go. Got some cleaning that needs to be done so that is on my list for tonight.
Have a great day!!

Court..... The adjusting to the new routine is felt up here too.... For my son, where he goes to daycare, it is a 'transisition' for him, because some of the kids go to school, so that affects him as well.... And, as for my sister too, her oldest started last week, first grade, and then, this week, her twins started preschool yesterday, so, there is DFINATELY a BIG change felt with ALL of the routines.


Hunter & I are going to go over to my sister's after work either tonight, or tomorrow night & visit for a few hours. I am looking foward to that!!! I have her baby gifts for her... I made her a baby blanket, and I have been excited to finally give it to her!!!!
Have a GREAT day, ladies!!!
