Morning all!!
Happy Humpity-bumpity day.
I wound up getting a job - yay!!!. 4 days a week from 9-2. I need to get into the internet system so I can stay up to date.

Its great and I can make my own hours, doing accounting and invoicing for a midsized construction company. The owners are great. I am in the office by myself and I can wear whatever I want

I do get a bit lonely, but then again I don't have to deal with the office politics that come along with working for a larger company. Sometimes adults can be worse than kids
School is going well for the kiddos. Rose, 6th grade is tough. That is the year where I had to take Kait out of the public school and put her in the Catholic school here - things did not improve. Is 6th grade Jr High/Middle school for you? Here it is and I just chalk it up to all the schools coming together in one building and all those hormone driven kids trying to find out where they fit in

Little man is tired of going to school all day every day now. Yea - sorry Little Buddy - its the law and you need to go through elementary and high school. Then its up to you

Back to school night for the 8th grader tonight - as much as KFish doesn't like it......I don't like it either
marci - can't imagine what you are going through. I know Jim is very protective of Kait, says its because he remembers being 13

We are still in the boys as friends stage with her. Then again she is a bit more intellectually mature than boys her age. They are "just plain goofy" to her. That's ok....the longer the boys stay just friends, the better. Maybe sit down with the parents, the sister and Steven and Matt and GF to get to the bottom of things - I agree that it sounds like a jealousy thing to me.
Football season is in full swing. The high school here is again of to a great start

3-0. Buddy's PeeWee AA team is 0-2

But having said that they played the two hardest games on their schedule. This past Saturday they only lost by one point.....so that is a positive.
My big 3-9 was yesterday. DH did my birthday meal on Sunday and then turned around and surprised me with a little seafood buffet here last night

I love him. Can't forget about the ice cream cake. It was too late after he and I ate and I want to share it with the kids.....so maybe tonight or seeing how his birthday is coming up on Monday, maybe we will "share the cake" this weekend.
Do you all remember how I have mentioned my brother and his wife going thru IVF? Try #4 has been successful. I am going to be an Aunt to twins

She is 5 weeks pregnant and has wicked morning sickness - but that is a good sign

Will let you all know how it goes. Continued prayers that the babies are healthy and the pregnancy goes smoothly.
SO that is about it from Beanville. Been busy and feel bad that I have missed 2 weeks around here - feels like a life time
Here's mummy dust, hugs, congrats, welcomes and all over good wishes for whatever I have missed.
