It's been forever !!!  Busy with work and of course the family.   Just a quick update I am doing great and enjoying the summer before it gets away !

Yay !  I can finally upload pictures! !!

Journal I've missed you !  I have been trying to keep my attitude positive this winter has been never-ending  here.  

Last weekend we took Lilly to a hotel to swim,  We had a great time and she slept like a baby.

Hey all!  Popping in to say I am still alive and well!   Baby Emily was born in September and I am still Mother Goose to my 8 grand kids, sub bus driver to our school district and hubby and I have an awesome vacation coming up to Southern California over Christmas break.  I will do better to update!   Miss my journal!

Spending my time working a couple of days a week...driving the Y kids to a water park sitting in the pool and getting tan....if you call that work! 

Family fun and cleaning closets round out my days.  Hubby's been work way too many hours 6 days a week, but we are keeping are eye on the prize....vacation coming up Thursday!

the weekend

Father's day weekend!   Family fun where most of the kids come home to eat, watch the town's Prairiefest parade and hang out.  The parade goes by our house and over the years gathered a group of friends that we get to hang out and catch up with.

Prairiefest kicks off the summer with bands, carnival rides and a variety of activities,

Liz and I walked to the main area last night saw a few friends and spent some time together.   She is feeling her baby girl kick now...so exciting!

I've been taking 2 trips a week, the YMCA group to the pool...nice chance to earn some cash and relax because of course I go in and cool off or people watch.

Enjoy the weekend friends !

My birthday was perfect ....quiet....much needed.   This past school year was nuts...I worked way too many hours, and deat with way too much drama.  As a sub and trip driver I had a great time, but my coworkers and new bosses made my daily life a big pain.  I spent too much time being angry and annoyed.

I am going to do only 2 field trips with the Y per week this summer and try and stay away.  The new admin have great ideas but they haven't thought through some of them so the end results aren't working.   oh well I'm trying to just be a driver which I LOVE (a supervisor office job is open but no thanks) saves my sanity.

We are working on our house this summer, but most of the job is left to me as my hubby works long hours trucking.  

Our kids still are going through changes just as we all did growing up mostly job and housing.  They'll figure it out, but I wish the other parents would stay out of it sometimes we learn better on our own ;)

It's my birthday !   It's raining, I did not bid on any summer work for today so I am holed up in my bedroom watching daytime tv, drinking my fav pumpkin spice coffee. 

I am going relax and enjoy doing NOTHING today!
