camping days are here again-Memorial Day 2009

we went camping this weekend & had a good time despite a few minor inconveniences.
had a little bit of rain & then Jillian got a sore throat. went home sat. nite & back on Sun morn. was going to spend the day today but rain really started coming down & Jaimie got an earache. Good thing we missed sat. nite as my camping neighbor said there was quite a ruckus with some teens. Jaimie and Jessie performed with school choir for a memorial service. It was a nice service but the sun beat down hard & the girls & I got sunburned in 15 minutes. the heat got to me too so we couldn't stay for the entire service.
Have a bit of stomach trouble so won't be doing much today.

back after months

It's been awhile I know. Have been off the internet for months and hooray i finally have it back!
lots has happened since I was last on here. Girl scouts was a joke found out the leader was only in it for her daughter and no one else, also tried to cheat the others to get her ahead, but I caught her in it and didn't let her get away with anything. Spent a little time at the lake but got sick with viral meningitis in July. tanner got very sick and altho we thought he was going to be o.k. with meds he sadly passed on Aug. 18.
On Nov. 2 the day after my birthday I was going through my e-mail and found someone on freecycle who had a small dog they could no longer keep. I asked about her and later that afternoon hubby and I took the girls to pick her up her name is Louise and she is a sweet little lap dog.

Had a fairly enjoyable Thanksgiving and am getting ready to put up the yard decorations for Christmas. Jessie is getting very anxious for us to. She's in the yard now waiting so better get off here. Need to do it today or weather could turn too cold.

Spring Break

not so good a week off, it's been a little chilly and more rain than we needed. Went to the science museum yesterday. They had fun playing and got to see a cool Native American constellatioin show. Was supposed to see a weather show but since bad weather was coming, they potsponed til today. can't go cause girls are going with "TaDa", yes that's correct not a mispelling, to the waffle house, then to the library for a hawaiian lua and the to see Horton Hears a Who. Hubby has an absessed tooth so we won't be doing much either, just going to pick up check and pay a bill.
Jessie is well over her pneumonia, but had to take Jillian to e.r. for chest pains early tues morn., couldn't find anything wrong.
off to find something for lunch and work on some more warm up america squares, gotta mail them out next week.

Schools out again

We finally had our Girl Scout meeting tues. It went pretty well altho we didn't do much. Just had our Valentine party and talked about setting up for a cookie sale booth. I had picked up some Valentine card holder kits from Lowes build and grow workshop for the girls and some of them got to put those together. Not enough time for everyone to do it. we plan to start having weekly meeting in March and will have them bring in their knitting needles so we can continue learning.
Jaimie has her academic meet on the 1st; don't know what time; and we planned a cookie sale for that day, we will just have to miss it. Jillian can go with them tho, a couple mom's have volunteered to help. Hopefully the sale and meet won't won't be at the same time.
woke up yesterday around 5 and waited for about 45 minutes for them to call school off since another ice storm was coming. No school again today. It's kinda nice but don't want to have to make up the days at the end of the school year in May. Nothing planned today, just waiting for my new coat and an order from herrschnerrs. Was supposed to come yesterday but because of the ice it didn't. Said on the tracking that there was an exception, no one was here to sign for the packages. I was here all day & so was hubby, no one came. Hopefully it won't be a problem getting here today, thisice should start melting off. Hubby went out to take trash to curb and said the street was not slick. there's just a lot of ice still on trees and power lines and deck rails. gonna be a slushy, muddy mess!
