Got up and showered and made a chocolate cake for Mom's block party. She did it on the 5th this year so that it would not interfere with other's church plans yesterday. Went over, had brunch (pot luck, very good), hung out, cleaned up, went to get a snow cone with boys while Addie went with Oma and Grandpa to play at the McDonald's playground, then home and took nap. For dinner, made bacon cheeseburgers and fries...pretty good!

watched Band of Brothers with Ty. New respect for Veterans. Wow...

here's a few photos from Mom's party...

Went to Petsmart to get bedding for Chewy...he's been out. (he's our gerbil).
Went to Michael's with a 50% coupon, but did not buy anything.
Went to 3 different grocery stores...picked up stuff to grill at the Bailey's house tonight.

Went to in-laws, Ty grilled, steaks, carrots (on the grill), squash (on the grill), rolls...it was all good. Spent the evening there. Left about the time all were doing fireworks...watched them as we drove home. Drove towards them but were almost over before we parked. Fort Worth had a rather uneventful grand finale. I took pictures. don't know how good they turned out...will post later.

Wow, July already.

no work this a.m. Well, a couple, but ran out by 6:30a.m. Went and laid down w/ Addison for awhile then got up and walked. There were mushrooms all over the back yard. Well, not ALL over, but alot. Not big mushrooms...little guys. cute. Just popped up overnight. I went and got the camera. I'm just always amazed by how much the yard changes or the things I find that were not there the day before. I know that sounds stupid...but since I'm such an unobservant person...it makes the walk a little more interesting. I really love it when I go out and see one of the animals. In our backyard in the last 14 years, I have seen skunks, raccoons, opossums, rabbits, a fox, a coyote, owls, and of course the vulture. it's fun!






anyway, another frustrating work day. Ran out off and on all day.

to be continued....

Work this morning...did about 450 lines my first 1.25 hours. Wow...I ROCK! :)

Actually had my work done by 2:30 today. I can count on 1 hand how many times I have done that in the last year.

Kids fought all day.


Another bad day.

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, SANDRA MOODY! It's my SIL's bithday. Hope it's a good one!

No work again this a.m. worked all day/evening when we did get some. It's so frustrating.

Addie did go to swim lessons today. It started to rain just before we left, but they did them anyway...no lightning. She said she wanted to go, so I took her. Despite the fact that she had had no nap. and it was raining. and the water was cold. She wanted to leave as soon as we got in the water and cried the whole lesson. This is the same child that was going off the diving board on Friday. Not sure what happened.

NOT A GOOD DAY. That's all I'm gonna say.
