Ahhh! A chance to sit down for a few minutes and have a drink ::getting comfortable:: One of my sis in laws was supposed to come over for a visit but she had to cancel at the last minutes. The kids were a bit disappointed but they managed to get over it. Paul and I were working in the bedroom, hanging a desk top (it folds down) and painting. Work called.. he has to go in. Now. Crap. So, while he was gone, I was repacking the kids clothes, storing them in Rubbermaid totes, to be put back up in the attic. Let me tell you, the girls have a LOT of clothes. I got rid of a lot of the smaller stuff but there are some that I just can't bear to part with. Olivia will be one well dressed little girl. Moira's clothes are in pretty good shape so I store them in the attic until Olivia can fit into them. I also cleaned out their closets (LOTS of clothes) and dressers. While up in the attic, I found some boxes of books. Titles like Little Women, my Riverdance program and book, a book about Disney villans, some Star Trek trivia books (in good shape too - maybe ebay?) and a bunch of others. I have to pick through them... in my spare time of course ::grin:: Well - time to get the pasta going - spaghetti for dinner tonight! Yummy!

I am getting attacked by a freakin FLY! It's DIVE bombing me! Ack!

Oh - we had a great time at the mall today. Moira got a bunch of clothes from Old Navy, JC Penney and the Disney Store (who are having a 50% off sale on kids clothes). She picked out some pretty nice stuff although I drew the line at fleece pants with the word "Angel" across the ass! Yes - they were for 5-7 year olds.. nice, huh? She just liked the pants. I freaked out (inwardly) and said to her,"Well, your Dad would freak out if we brought home pants with words across your butt!" The funny part, she agreed! By the time we left the mall, the traffic and weather were SO awful, we ended up going to my Mom's house and eating dinner there. She wasn't home. Dan, her partner, was getting his pacemaker put in today. He's doing great. My Mom came home around 715pm and was happy to see us. I think she needed to just have the kids around her, just all silliness and goofiness. They really make her so happy too. ::smile::

WAY to go Zannie and Allan! Little Packet is here - all 7lbs and 20.5 inches of him. ::sniffle:: I love babies! My other girlfriend had HER baby tonight! Little Haley! It's stormin' babies!

Did you guys hear about Sharon Osbourne? Oh man.. so sad. No one should EVER have to suffer from cancer.

Hmm - 2 kids, cloudy rainy day and no TV ( I won't turn it on - Moira is so mad! LOL!). I am thinking ROAD TRIP! Freehold Mall.. here we come!

Easy dinner tonight.. hot dogs! Woohoo! I had a meeting at church tonight to discuss Sunday School in the fall. We need to get some more volunteers to assist us. There are a lot of kids and not enough classrooms. The church is going be going through a major renovation, rebuilding the sanctuary and adding on classrooms. Our Pastor is very much interested in technology and would like to set up (in the near future) a computer lab for the kids. We've got a great curriculum set up for the kids. I hope we can get a few more volunteers!

We had a nice afternoon - until we had massive thunder and lightening around 2pm. Mom came down for lunch and a swim. The girls had a blast, as usual, when any grandparent comes for a visit. We lost power, just for a moment. I had to re-boot the computer ::grr:: but there were no other incomveniences besides that.

Good luck Zannie! We are all pulling...err....pushing...umm.. ROOTING for you! Yeah - that's it! Go Zannie! Have Brucie already! Push 'em out, shove 'em out, WAYYYYY out!

Where the hell are all these flies coming from? I have a crapload of them in my house! I think Paul killed about 8-10 of the little bastards. UGH - I HATE 'em!

Oh man.. they found that poor little 5 year old girl who was missing in California. I can't wait until they catch that bastard. Sick freak.

It is hot today. Bleech.

Hmmmph! Looks like one bottle I purchased is a Wheaton figural bottle. I am trying to figure out when they were produced. I guess I won't be making my millions on Antique Roadshow today!

Back from Wal-Mart. Don't get me started about the damn senior citizens! But, I did find a nice desk lamp for my bedroom for about $20. I didn't see any quilts that I liked though. It's going to be hard, looking for one that I like. We also stopped at the old/new shop and I found a couple neat looking bottles. One is an old glass AVON mouthwash bottle, with the original top. The bottom of the bottle says AVON Breath Fresh Mouthwash. Use full strength in the morning, after meals, before social engagements. ::grin:: I'll have to see what I could sell it for on eBay!

Good morning campers! Had a great day yesterday... I rounded up the kidlets around 4pm and brought them back into the house so I could get dinner started. After dinner, I got to go food shopping by myself! ::happy dance:: I managed to spend about $122 on basics.. like ketchup, paper towels, produce, etc.. Paul took the kidlets into the pool while I was out and managed to get them all tired out. After they were in bed, Paul was playing with our scanner and trying to capture some images he had on paper. Our scanner is pretty outdated - especially by current standards. Just 600x1200 and I *think* 30 bit color. I saw an article about some of the new Epson scanners being released :::drool::: I want one! Especially this one. Well - Christmas is coming.... Paul had made an appointment for Tru-Green (lawn service) to come and give us an estimate. Our lawn is pathetic. . I had just gotten up and was walking into my living room when I heard my screen door open. Scared the crap out of me - I thought someone was breaking in my house! Turns out it was Dom. He got here at 810am ::yawn:: Heck, we were still sleeping when he arrived. We didn't have to be home (or awake! LOL!) when he arrived so he wrote up the estimate. Pretty reasonable - and we need to do SOMETHING. Our lawn is begging for help!

Oh my gosh - it is SO nice outside. I just steppped inside to get the kids some ice pops and jump online super quick. Sun, comfy chair and Harry Potter are calling me back outside... Ciao!

EW! Got this link from Quinn. I can't believe I did it!

Ok - I fixed the gallery link. NOW, you are able to check out my pictures!

Just got back from the butcher shop - Bruno's. God - I love that place. Next time, I am going to buy some steaks... they look SO good. YUMMY!

Can anyone get to my photo gallery? Does the link work?
