Feeling Happy
Hearing None....

Garth Brooks?


 No, I'm not going to go all Garth Brooks on ya...."This is my farewell tour, I'm done!"...."Hey ya'all, I'm back and I've decided to tour again."...."This is it, I'm retiring!"...."Okay, one more album!"....

I have to say I was more than surprised by all of the amazing comments and e-mails I have received. You have all touched my heart in a way that I can't begin to describe. I was truly amazed at the feeling of love and friendship....and I thank you all so very much.

That being said, I think I'm having withdrawls from not posting. I've decided that stopping cold turkey may have not been the way to go....and I've yet to find a "journaling patch" to help with the cravings. As a matter of fact, the pharmacist at Walgreens looked at me rather strangely when I asked.

Soooo, the only thing I can think to do is periodically post, and continue as a small part of this journaling community. I won't pressure myself to crank out an entry a day or even a week....just when the mood strikes. I think that may be the answer....I need my space to vent and feel like someone is actually listening! Therefore....you can keep me "on alert" if you like....

Anyhoo....

Hayley finished up her art camp on Friday. She did a great job and had a great time. This week she is doing vacation bible school every day. I'm telling ya, that kid has a busier schedule than I ever have. She's really been enjoying the summer....without a peep from the three witches. She's been hanging out with the girl downthe street, having sleep overs and playing in the rain. It's been so nice to see her happy and care free....

Betsy is basically sleeping, eating, and working. Oh the life. I don't think I could handle that. I've never seen anyone sleep like she does. If perpetual napping were a career, she'd be tops in her field. Hopefully the work schedule will pick up soon....she's got over half to go on her "tire and rim replacement" payment plan.

My injury is getting better every day. I'm gonna have quite the scar though. I knew that doctor was not pulling the sutures tight enough when he was stitiching me up....and three of them fell out halfway through the healing process. Okay, maybe it was because I shaved a little too close and cut a few....but still! The other ones that I didn't hit came loose. My ten days were up on Sunday, so I decided to perform the removal myself. It was pretty easy....I just snipped and pulled. No one wanted to watch though....wimps.

The weather has been rainy....and the hurricane is weakening. I can't believe it's that season already. I did take advantage of the "no sales tax" offers for hurricane supplies. Yes, Yankee Candles are considered supplies. I mean come on, who wants to be in the midst of 100 mph winds with a generic candle that loses it's scent in the first hour? If my house is going to be destroyed, I'd at least  like to leave a shell smelling of Tropical Mango Passion.

And so, that's the update. I shall continue so that no one is left hanging, wondering....

"Will Betsy be able to keep all four wheels on the pavement this summer...."

"Will Hayley ever get out of the pool...."

And most importantly....

"What about the PINEAPPLE????"

    I'm glad to hear that you will be posting periodically!  

    Isn't it sad when your kids have more of a life than you do?  I just said that to my husband last weekend when my daughter was on the go all weekend.  

    Luv~Heather
