Just a Sunday in fall....

Okay... so we have recovered from our stomach virus and we have had a low key relaxing weekend. We only left the house to go to Wal-Mart which I absolutely hate. I really, really despise going to Wal-Mart and for some unknown reason we go everyday. My plan today was to go and stock up for the next three weeks... somehow I don't think that happened. BUT I really hope I don't have to go back until late this week....we'll see about that....
I have really nothing to write about because we didn't do anything this weekend except sleep, go to stupid Wal-Mart and clean the house. For some reason I always save cleaning until Sunday afternoon. I have no idea why. I straighten throughout the week and try to keep caught up on my laundry but the full-out cleaning happens on Sundays... go figure.
I got to see B on the webcam today. That was fun. Gage was actually getting into it, blowing him kisses and waving at him. It was pretty cute. The webcam wasn't working as well as it did last time. We had some delays...but it was good.
I took another quiz last night for my class. We are on chapter 5 and I am pretty much not into this class. It is on Moderate and Profound Disabilities... and it is heavy on the reading.... a little on the boring side. Oh well....
Well, I hope you all (as if anyone else reads this!) have a great week.

what a week.. and it's only Thursday!

Well, let's see my headache on Monday lasted until Wednesday. Then my stomach virus began at 1:45 a.m. Thursday morning... As I lay there feeling like I was dying I thought, there is no way I can make it to work. I went to get Luke up and he got out of the shower puking so he had the virus as well... so today was spent with us in bed sick...
Gage had to go back to the doctor on Tuesday because he was up all night Monday screaming wtih his ears. He is on two antibiotics now... and so far hopefully he is avoiding the virus. I am knocking on wood. ...
My friend Shannon has been out all week with some health related issues. I really hope she gets better fast and that she is okay... I miss her at work! So do the kiddos...
Let's see.. I guess that sums it up. Luke worked on his insect collection last night and I think we have enough insects.... I am ready for this to be turned in....Yuck! I don't have much more to add... except that I MISS MY HUSBAND and wish he was here to take care of me. :(
Hope everyone else is feeling healthy and happy. JB

HEADACHE>>>

I have the worst headache tonite... Long day at work, long afternoon at home... ready for bed... I am excited for my girls ABBEY and JACY who got on the homecoming court. I am sure that they will look BEAUTIFUL!
Hope everyones Monday was pleasant. JB

Sunday.... I will address this picture in a moment, but before that let me say that this was a unique weekend. Friday and Saturday night I did absolutely nothing... I mean stay in your pj's and do absolutely nothing. It made me feel pretty worthless if you must know the truth about it. Then I had myself a little poor pityful me pity party but I got over it. Today I went to Cassi's birthday party. She is 7 this year. WOW, where does the time go? It was a skate party and she had some friends there and they were all cute. Luke spent the weekend in Dallas with his dad. He got home in time to get the yard mowed with a little help from his Mi-mi.... Anyway, he is really mad at me right now. I am sure that when I was a teenager I was a little like him, but I think sometimes I want to pull my hair out. I really try to do what is best for him, but these days that just means that I am "stupid" and I really know nothing at all. Oh, I think I am "payin for my raising" as they say... HOWEVER, I am stubborn and he is stubborn and I am just really tired of the battles... if anyone with teenagers knows how long this phase lasts you can let me know... Anywho....

As far as the above picture goes, this is the last picture I have of Bryan and I before he left. He came home on leave late in August and we spent a night in Eureka at the Crescent Hotel. Let me tell you the place is definitely beautiful but it is also very definitely HAUNTED... and yes things do go "bump" in the night and I didn't like it a bit... I mean I was scared to death the entire night... I can give you a colorful version of the story any time you would like but just let me tell you if you are scared of ghosts, do not stay at the hotel... other than the visitor that we had, the experience was great...the bell hop still walks you to your room, the view was awesome and the food was great!

Oh well, I must get little Gager to sleep.... He is definitely ready for bed.

Hmmm

Okay, so it works, we are webcamming... I am in a better mood... I have posted some pics... No I am not preggo... I was just pulling on my shirt because somebody said something... I don't remember now what it was.

Saturday morning

Oh it is a wonderful Saturday morning. I just got up and spoke with Bryan. We might webcam today... I am excited. Gage has been sick and has another double ear infection... So it was a rather long night. I am not feeling so spiffy, but I am mom so I can handle it...

I don't know why I am blogging except for last night I had nothing to do, so I thought I would give it a go.

I will write more after my webcam experience to say if it was successful or not!
