The got through the Forest of Terror

Wow, another busy weeked. I don't want to sound like I am complaing, but boy have I been on the go. Saturday was T.J's last regular season football game. They lost. Darn. They will now go to at least one tournament game, after that we will have to see what they will do. So, for now, they still have practice. Darn again. Satuday afternoon T.J's best friend Justin lost his grandma to breast cancer. Darn, double darn. Just one month ago she was sitting next to me at a football game, and at that moment nobody even knew she had cancer! Triple fn darn. I hate that anyone has to go through what me and my family went through. The 28th is the anniversary of Tom's death. I miss him so much and so do my kids. Even though I am engaged to a wonderful man and am so blessed to have him I still miss Tom. Saturday night the kids and I went with Shandi and her new man to the Forest of Terror. I loved it. It was the first time that Kaitlin and Shianne had ever been so we had fun watching them be so scared. Both of them swear they will never go again. Lol. Today I went jean shopping. I think I should just kill myself. I hate the fact that you can never find a good fitting pair of jeans. I found one pair out of about 15. I don't have to say anymore because you all know how it is. I also got to visit with a friend of mine that lives in Missouri. She was here visiting family so I buzzed by to see her. Then of course I had to dig out the sweat shirts. That meant moving all the summer stuff out of the closet. No wonder I am tired!

I love Saturday Morning.

I really do love Saturday mornings. I love when everyone is asleep and I am the only one up, coffee cup in hand with nothing to do but sit here and pluck on the keyboard. It is so chilly outside, it is about 39 degrees. There really is frost on the pumpkin, or at least the last remnants of a tomato or jalapeno plant! The ground is still all wet from this entire week of dreary, drizzly weather. I can see the leaves changing and I love the way they look on mornings like this, all damp and colorful. Today T.J has his last football game. What a relief! Tonight Shandi and her new man and I are taking the kids haunted housing. That will be so much fun. I will let you know how it goes.

They tell me I am glowing.

No, I am not pregnant. Lol. Everyone at work tells me I am glowing. Must be the marriage proposal huh? I really am happy, I still feel all goofy and love sick. I know, stop before you get sick. Lol. Anyway, this time is so different then my other marriages, back then it was like hurry and get it done. I had so much going on with little kids and such I couldn't enjoy and savor anything. This time is so much more thought out, it is what we want to do, not what I have to do. To be sure, I would have married Tom anyway, but I really had to, or rather felt I had to for the kids sake. This time I just plain want to marry the guy. I know that there is no reason other then we want to be together and that is just awesome! This time I can plan what I want to do, not what has to be done. I can take my time, or not, it doesn't matter. There is no sense of urgency like before, and that is so nice.

I'm getting married!

That's right, I am getting married! I am so excited, I feel like a teenager going on her first date. Mike asked me to marry him Wednesday after the kids and I got home from my little brother's birthday party. Wow, I didn't expect it at all. I didn't think I wanted to get married again and I had no idea I would say yes, even to Mike. Something about the look in his eyes told me he meant it and I just turned to mush. He was afraid I wouldn't say yes, matter of fact, he was convinced I would say no! He said "Third time is a charm, or a nightmare. I guess we will both find out together". Lol. As to when and where, it will be after the first of the year and I am thinking either the beach (and you all know WHICH beach) or Vegas baybe. I think it would be cool to get married by Elvis but, I also would love to get married on the beach with just like 4 guests two of them being my little one's. And, I blame this all on Stacey.

Why oh why do I have to work?

I keep asking myself, why oh why, do I have to work? Man, I am pooped. The weather has finally cooled off so it is not miserable at work, but, it is still work. Just 6 short months and I won't be back in that stinking warehouse anymore. It seems as if time is standing still in that aspect. I hate my job more and more everyday. Most of it is that I am getting too old to do that type of heavy work anymore. It may be better to say I am gettin too old and don't want to do that type of work anymore. There has to be a better way to make a living. We went to Mcpherson for some fights this weekend. Sorry, no pics yet, but I will do that soon. After the Mcpherson trip we made a trip to see my Father-in-law so that sucked down my Sunday. My brother from Maryland was here last night on his way to Phoenix so I was busy with that. Tonight T.J had a choir concert. Poor kid, he hates it. He was put in there for lack of another class and there are only 3 boys in the class. He is such a trooper, he got up and sang anyway. His football team has only lost one game. We will travel to Hutch this Saturday for his next game. He is excited because his grandparents will be able to see that game. Kaitlin has her last cross country meet on Friday. She has not gotten any medals but she has finished every race and did not stop to walk once so kudos to her. Not bad since she only did it to get out of housework, huh? Well enough for now. Cheers to all of you lovely people, miss you all and I promise to post new pic before the end of the week.

I want everyone that read this to go to my myspace and please check out my granddaughter Jocelyn's myspace. Please do this for her and our family. Now all that said, I had a wonderful weekend! Thursday right after work Mike and I took off to Medicine to see his Dad. We left the kids with their older sister Shandi and we didn't come back until Saturday afternoon. We had a ball. We might have had too much of a ball. I think the Wild Turkey we drank was bad because it gave both of us a terrible headache the next day. It also made us very tired and lethargic. Hmmm. Beyond the bad turkey, we had so much fun.
