Today is the last day of the summer football season and both boys have their Super Bowl games. The little guy is up first at 6:15 and then the oldest has two 20 minute games as part of a 3 game round robin to determine the championship in his age group.
Before I get into the activities of yesterday, today is post #23o meaning there’s 135 days left in the year! Soon the holidays will be here and then we’ll be talking about Spring fast approaching, WOW.
Mom worked until 3pm yesterday and I had to stick the boys in front of the tv for most of the morning while I had calls with NY and CA. They say we get our car back this morning but we’ve been told that before. We’re still waiting on a check from the insurance company as even though the other drivers company has admitted fault, they’re now disputing the extent of the damage. Typical big company bull, they’re quick to take your money but when it comes time for them to pay out, they’ll fight tooth and nail not to meet their obligation.
It seems cooler out this morning, falls coming fast. Mom did get the boys to the pool for an afternoon swim when she got home from work. We’re still eating leftover ribs from Sunday night when everyone cancelled on dinner. Hopefully we’ll run out soon.
We stopped by Grandma’s for a few minutes and she called later commenting how much the little guy has grown. You know how when you don’t see someone all the time and it’s more obvious if they’ve grown, well that’s what my Mom noticed. We too see it and he has had a growth spurt this summer. Both boys have super long legs. I’m sure we’ll need to buy some new jeans and shoes in the next few months.
Obama continues his “everybody’s at fault but me” bus tour and now he’s headed off to Martha’s Vineyard for a 10 day vacation. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a 10 day vacation. Personally I think all of Congress should be back at work along with the President. He’s just so arrogant, I can’t even stand to watch the man on tv anymore. Sorry to all you Obama supporters but even you have to be questioning if this man’s in over his head. I mean how long can you blame George Bush? Sooner or later you have to take responsibility for what’s going on. I’ll stop now as I feel myself going into a 2000 word rant.
I hear the misses stirring, maybe she can take over and write some. Whoops, it was the little guy who just came down. Mom’s still sleeping. I have a call with a potential employee in CA in about 10 minutes so time to wrap it up. I just went up and roused the misses so I’ll ask her to take over and write a bit. I’m sure most of you would love to hear from her. Have a great day and take care of yourself. Here’s Mom,
Good Morning. The youngest boy is sitting here next to me and I think he should still be sleeping by the tone of his voice. Yikes, it could be an interesting morning.
The makeover plan today is as follows…exercise the dogs, the boys and myself…hang and put away the four folded loads of laundry, clean the bathrooms, dust and chase dog hair with the vacuum. After all that fun I am headed to L.O.L.’s to clean for 2 hours.
I promised to take the kiddos to the pool some time today since the storm clouds moved in quite rapidly yesterday and spoiled their fun. Â The youngest wants to have a sleepover at our house with one of his friends tonight. I am on the fence because I work tomorrow morning at 8:15 and this little friend has a voice that may actually be louder than both of our boys put together. This presents a problem for the Mister since quiet is what he needs for his a.m. call. Â I’ll try to put off the sleepover until Friday night..wish me luck and a backbone in my negotiations with the 7yr old.
Well off to start the day and complete the makeover tasks…if the tasks are in print they must get done!!!
God bless to all,
