Many things to blog about...

My apologies for taking forever to post. I am sure you were getting pretty tired of looking at my soup bowl. lol...Although, you don't know how special you make me feel when you do check my blog often, hoping I have a new post. I didn't think I was that intriguing to read about.

So, thank you to all who wonder how I was doing. I am feeling a whole lot better except for the sneezing which I seemed to have adopted this morning. I am so stuffed up right now that I sound like Mickey Mouse.

The house is buzzing with excitement right now because my younger brother Aaron is turning the big sixteen this Wednesday. So, this Saturday we are having a football party for him. He's pretty excited. It looks and sounds like it will be a lot of fun to watch. I am sure I will have plenty of pictures to show you all.

Oh, in one of my previous post I had mentioned Courtney's blog and how on every Wednesday she has a game. Well since then a couple other blogs I check often have posted games. So, check out Mackenzie's and Julie's they both created games on their blogs and it was fun participating in both.

Well, I am going to end for now and go in search of a tissue.
Until next time.

I have been sick:(

I am sorry about not blogging but, as my title says, I have been sick. Yes, that means I wasn't able to go to school at all this week. Sigh....But I am feeling better now. Although, not up to a long post. The bug has attached itself to me and at the beginning I couldn't go to sleep at all! That's what usually happens when I am sick. So,my schedule has been totally off and I am still a little drowsy.Hope to be back and blogging soon!

It's after midnight...

So why am I blogging instead of sleeping you may ask. I am really not sure. I just went on the computer to check my mail, some blogs and such ...lol Okay one certain blog in particular.

Courtney has this great weekly post called Rhyme Time Wednesday where she changes the words from a popular song and you have to guess what the song is.

I was horrible at this at first, but I am getting the hang of it. When I can't get it I'll have my mom figure it out. LOL....So check it out. I know you will enjoy it.

My eyes are trying to stay opened and so I really should head for the bed. But I wanted to check in so I won't leave my faithful bloggers waiting for yet another post and have to make you read my last post over and over and over....okay I think you get the point!!

I hope every one has a great day tomorrow. Yes...I will try to post again tomorrow but like always, no promises!

I know you must have been shocked....

To see a post from me. I am sorry at my neglect of the blogging world, yet again. I don't have a real, great excuse like we got a major snow storm in the middle of October and we lost all power in the house. Or...I have found an abandoned baby in my yard and had to nurse it back to health. Or...a huge tree fell on my foot and I couldn't go on my computer because the agony was too great.



To be honest, as usual the last few days in the week were long and tiring days and when I got home I didn't feel like writing a post. Then I was not feeling well on Saturday and yesterday was Sunday and Sundays are always busy!



So, here I am now to grace the blogging world with my presence. I know must have been missed greatly!



I guess the biggest news of the week is my sister had to go to the hospital for a swollen eye. It ended up being an infection of the eye lid. Gross, I know! It's not contagious unless I wanted to poke my finger in her eye and then put the same finger in my own eye. But don't fear I have no desire to do such a thing.lol...



For the library, I have been reading a book from Lori Wick's English Garden series called "The Visitor." It's turning out to be a really good book. I have been enjoying it. Although what Lori Wick book do I not enjoy? lol...



I have an announcement to make. I have a desire to cook!! Before anyone goes to the media and reports this horrific crime. I haven't started yet! But....since working in the cafeteria at the school, I have found out that it's not all bad! Although, I only make the drinks, but, that is not the point! This fall air is really getting to me and I think I should make pumpkin pie, apple crisp and cherry cobbler. Any recipes anyone???



Okay, next on my agenda... knitting. What a calming sorda thing. Sitting by the fire in your living room in a cozy chair and knitting. Sigh....what a sweet picture. So I may start on some knitting. You never know I may be good at it.



LOL...I guess I should end for now.

Your Lunch!

A funny thing happened to me last Friday, on the way to school. After my ride came to pick me up, I waved good bye to my father who was at the door and climbed into the car. We started talking as soon as I got in and started up the street.

Out of habit I looked down at my feet and made sure I had my purse. I then looked at the books I brought and made sure I had the right ones. Then I realized my biggest fear had come to life...I had forgotten my lunch!

Thankfully, we were still on my street when I realized this. So we turned the car around and headed back to my house. All of the sudden I saw a very familliar van riding towards us. A frightening thing for sure. I almost thought I wouldn't be going to school after all, but instead, meeting my Creator. Yes, I am embellishing but stay with me.

Rushing toward us, driving like a maniac, still in the t-shirt he had slept in, was my father. He was waving my lunch out the window. I couldn't stop my smile as he pulled up next to us and handed me my lunch. After I caught my breath from laughing so hard, I thanked my dad for risking his life for my lunch!

BUT...between you and me, I think he was a tad bit disapointed that we had turned around. I think he wanted to chase us all the way to school!

Wonderful Moments!

Too late for a real long, exciting, rambling and heart wrenching post. So, I thought I would share a sweet moment that was captured a few weeks ago, while apple picking with my nephew Patrick.

Such a sweet picture, isn't it? Uncle Aaron and Patrick chatting while walking down the road.

Sisterly love.

Here's me and Carole being fools in the back of our van riding to church last night. If you look real close you can see our crazy younger brother in the way back. Here's our ice cream we ate together on Saturday night while watching TV and being crazy sisters in my room. We took a picture of both of us that night but I will spare you the scary results of two girls in their PJ's with no make up and hair not done.
Here's a better picture of me and Carole in the van riding to church.
Sisters are great aren't they? I am so blessed I have two!!
