TGIF!

Geesh..are the hurricanes EVER going to end??? I guess not for another two months. I'm so glad I don't live in MS anymore. Hurricanes SUCK. I was a junior in high school in Louisiana when Hurricane Andrew came through. It wasn't as bad as Florida got it, but it was bad enough.

Andrew's out getting popcorn and coca cola at the moment. I plan on having a few Rum and Cokes tonight. Nothing wrong with getting a litte tipsy, eh? Girls are in bed, and we might play a little Halo on the Xbox. We haven't played in almost a year, so it's about time we got our Melee on! We used to play every night after the girls went to bed. We'd get online with a friend of ours and we'd play against each other all night. So much fun. Or we'd get on the Super Nintendo and play a raucous game of Dr. Mario. That was dad's favorite game. He'd sit there and play for hours. Missing my daddy.

Wow, it's already 11 PM. Luckily I don't have anything to do tomorrow except sleep in. The girls were up late tonight so hopefully they sleep in as well. If not, it's cartoon day!!!

Cora got an A+ on her very first spelling test today. She was SOOOOOO excited to come home and tell me.

The new lens I ordered finally shipped today. Can't wait to get it and play! I want to take it to the sports games and get some good shots when my niece and nephew play soccer.

Sarah actually allowed me to take pictures of her. What fun this was!!!!

Woah, Nelly!

Ok, so how did my house get so destroyed??? I just got done cleaning my laundry room. I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor. It looks and smells MUCH better now! Next project is to organize the tupperware drawer. Wow, what a disaster area THAT is.

I didn't sleep well last night. I was up at 1 AM watching "Soul Food" on AMC. Great movie. My allergies were bothering me. I'm ready for the cold weather JUST to get rid of all the stuff making me sneeze!!

[Ho Hum...]

Monday morning. Got the girls off to school, then proceeded to hit the library. I read the current copy of People, and then checked out a couple books for myself. The good thing about me not taking any classes this semester is that I can read 'til my heart's content. I got a book by Larry McMurtry called Some Can Whistle. I didn't know he did other books besides Westerns. Looks like a good read. I've been re-reading books that I know are good, but I wanted to try something new this time.

End of The Weekend...

This weekend has flown by. Yesterday we went to James' and Darcy's soccer games. Andrew helped his brother repair his roof. This morning was the first day of Sunday School at church. The girls were really excited for that. Cora is in my class this year, but my Co-Teacher taught today while I went to the service. We'll alternate between teaching and being off. Sarah was in the 4 year old class downstairs near my room. She liked that. She's really becoming more outgoing. Last year I could barely get her from around my leg, but not anymore. I'm so glad she's not so clingy.

Cora went to Toys R Us and got a scooter with a gift card she got for her birthday. All the kids bring their scooters to the bus stop in the mornings and ride around while they're waiting. Cora expressed interest in doing the same in the morning. Where has my baby gone?
