Bring On the Rain!

Since I can't and don't know how to do a rain dance, I'll post a picture of one and hope that it will suffice. I am so grateful for the rain and hopet that it keeps up for awhile. Every day it does, means one less day I have to water the yard. Definitely, a plus in my book!

Let the Games Begin - Again!

Well, I start another class this week. Only1 section and 8 students, but still the same pay as if it were a full class so I can't complain. Hopefully, they are as easy to deal with as the last group. I have definitely learned how to play the game better, which has helped put a stop to a lot of the rudeness that can occur. Oh well, it will help to pay for the nursery!

A Woman's Job to Worry Is Never Done

So my husband decided to see if he could give me a heart attack yesterday. As he was driving home, he noticed a helicopter flying very low that he thought was going to hit the power lines right next to him. He then slowed down due to that and traffic and was rear ended by another car. Of course, he calls me and tells me he has been in an accident and that the back end of his car is all messed up, but then quickly had to go since the police officer had arrived. I began panicking, since 1. my history of car accidents and injuries is not the best; 2. financially we really need our cars to last at least another year - preferably 2 more. When he finally got home, I looked at the car and the "back end of the car being all messed up" was actually only the bumper that will probably need replaced. The other driver received a ticket and hopefully his insurance will fix the bumper. Whew! As he left for work this morning I gave him my standard caution of "please be careful", but with the added "really this time".

The Secret Is Out

Since I am not going to be able to hide this much longer and there are Grandparents dying to tell everyone, Jim and I decided we might as well spill the beans now.



Meet "Junior":

The baby is due December 11 (my mom's birthday), so I am just now ending my first trimester. (Thanks goodness!) So far everything with the baby is fine, but there have been a few big scares in the last couple of weeks involving bleeding and other funness. Let's just say there have been some super long, sleepless nights. I finally was released from bedrest today, but still need to be careful.

Anywhoo . . . now you all know and I can quit dodging questions or changing the subject on a regular basis.

All This For Little Ole Me?

Well, today was my birthday and as my gift to all of you, most of you were given the day off and others were given holiday pay for working. There were even flags posted around as I rode my birthday princess float down the streets. LOL

Actually, it's always such a weird concept having a birthday on a day you honor those who have died. Oh well. At least it gave my husband and I a day to spend together. Plus, the weather was beautiful which is always a bonus!

But, now it is time for cherry cheesecake so I bid you all adieu.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

Well the garden is in and now all we can do is sit and wait for Mother Nature to do her thing.

It's a much smaller garden than last year, but at least it is something.

It's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

My guilty pleasure is back for another fabulous summer season! Woohoo! Once again I get to dream about being on the stage and live vicariously through these amazing performers! (How I miss dancing!) I even found out that they are going to have a whole new season again in the fall. Even better!!!
