This & That

Yes, I'm at the library right now enjoying me time on the computer. Not that I cant get on the computer at home, but the imps are usually right over my shoulder. So they have this arts & crafts day at the local Auburn library that I bring them to and let them "create" and I play on the computer.

Work is going pretty well...I've been having trouble with my ISP and so my % that drives my call volume had dropped low. Well it's back over the demarkation point so I'm receiving more calls. Yay.

Weight Watchers isnt going as well. Christine is dropping out for now...for various reasons...financial and results based. I'm not doing any better, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. Gotta find my motivation again.

Still missing my mom. Dreading/anticipating Christmas and her not being in it.

House is coming along well. Our yard has improved 100% with the addition of lime and some more grass seed. Next year I hope to attack the back yard. We had family over for a cookout last weekend and I really noticed how bad the back yard looks because the builder didnt sod it. And there are soooo many rocks in it. Growls.

What else is going on in my life? Sharon is still living with us. I think we've found us a house mate! LOL. Dale and I put our names in to become foster parents but we haven't heard back from the DFACs yet. Hopefully, we'll hear soon when the orientation class is. Of course Dale's done this before, but I'm still new to it all. I'm very anxious about it tho...I just love the idea we could really make a difference in some children's lives (not that we arn't with ours already...but you know what i mean!) I think I'd like to have a baby but then think how much effort that would be. We're open to the possibility of adoption but plan on fostering and if a situation just falls into our lives, then so beit. But otherwise, we still plan on one day retiring to Florida (lol)

All for now...

Sunday Stuff

Pre family days, I used to love Sundays. They were my relaxing day. The day to sit back, watch football, go to craft festivals, etc. Then I became a part of this family and Sundays became a dreaded thing. A day when we had to do the unnecessary visit with Dale's ex. She has it in her mind that the kids NEED to see her. Yeah right. ANYWAY.

But today, we declined her offer of a visit and enjoyed a morning at home...i worked a bit this morning then went downstairs to make pancakes for breakfast. For some reason, pancakes put me in a good mood. Then we just kinda hung around the house, I worked some more, the kids colored and watched tv. Then after lunch, we took the kids to the indoor swimming pool over in Lawrenceville. It was a treat since we havn't been swimming since Labor Day or so. We came home and brought Pizza Hut pasta & pizza to eat for supper...the kids got to eat "picnic" style on the floor in front of tv (a rarity) and Dale and I got to take ours upstairs to watch in front of the football games.

Now, I'm working some more..

So as you can see, it wasnt an exciting day. Just a fun one in my book. Getting ready for Josh's birthday ...we're doing a skating birthday party which I think every kid has at some point in his or her life. All for now.
