We have kept the windows open for the past week and it is in the mid sixties in the house in the morning. I wish it would last, but in a few weeks we will have forgotten what cool weather was.” 4:50:17 AM 5/12/09 “Morning! Going to be a pretty day today, high of 64°. I'm going to take my doggies for a walk, plant my veg garden and try and get my house cleaned up before my mom comes over for her mother's day dinner. OH! Have to go and buy her gift too. Almost forgot. Slept like the dead last night. Have a great day.” 5:06:16 AM 5/12/09 ““a little smoke might cure that nausea.” dizzybtch 3:01:36 AM 5/12/09 ...I live in Alabama...lol....it's not legal here..lol.. ...stormy weather here.....Lee came in yesterday and said "if it starts to rain you'll need to put the top up on your Mustang...I left it down"...so I didn't think anything else about it until I heard the rain hitting the stove vent on the roof....you should have seen me move!!!! ...they are showing rain for a week here..I was hoping to work on a tan...& get our pool ready!!!!..Time to do some laundry & dishes!! ...hugs to all!!!” 6:05:05 AM 5/12/09 “Big hugs SG....” 6:17:17 AM 5/12/09 “"....you should have seen me move!!!!"

It's already grey and damp feeling. First thing after the kid gets on the bus I will slap a coat of oil on my new patio table. IKEA has the best acacia wood stuff for so cheap! Next thing on the list is to quick and get the dogs out for their walk. For two pooches 10.5 and 11 they drive me bonkers at night if they don't get their three miles! Dad is coming over sometime to fix the leak under the kitchen sink. Murphy struck immediately this separation! I'm just glad I found it before it got too wet down there. Have a good un” 5:26:59 AM 5/13/09 “...I slept in....yes...me the one who is always here before 5 am.... ...I am all pissy cause some folks don't know how to make plans...I wanted to go to trail days...but I am having a whole house of company that weekend....Lee's daughter graduates Monday...

Well, the thyroid seems out of control once again since I'm hungry every hour or so and I've got the tremors non-stop. Waiting to hear from the doc about my bloodwork last Friday. Tomorrow is the city-wide garage sale day and I've got the day off of work. Plan to be out and about by 7AM. Send good vibes - I've got a lot on my list! Tomorrow night is also the school board meeting where my job gets axed. I'll be in attendance. Time to go eat again....” 5:31:52 PM 5/13/09 “Thanks Smiley. I hope that thyroid settles down soon!” 9:19:48 PM 5/13/09 “Hugs SG!!!!...I sure hope ya get to feeling better!!!! ...Good Morning!!!... ...living with a nightshifter is sometimes very difficult....small house..& he isn't a good sleeper anyways...light bothers him...( unlike myself, who can sleep through almost anything...even Drag Races)...so I can't hardly do a thing while he is asleep....he can even hear the computer chair if I move...sheesh....I guess I am a noisy person....lol.... ...counting down until this weekend...house full of company...( Lee's daughter graduates Monday...) and we will have the granddaughter after that for about 2 weeks...and 11 yr old comes in a week... ...we don't have the pool ready....it has rained everyday.....and I have to pack for Ohio...and prepare for hurricane season ( make sure everything Is waterproof...like my family pictures...& books)...I think I'll just go buy some plastic tubs. ...I am excited about taking Leah ( my 11 yr old granddaughter) camping/backpacking...she is excited that I already have a backpack for her...menus are a challenge...she is lactose intolerant...so we need to take care in our planning....any suggestions are welcomed!!! ...I want her to learn backpacking while she is still young..maybe it'll stick with her....before we go we are going to make our list of what to pack, plan our menu, dry our food, learn how to use a compass, learn what to do in an emergency, etc... ...her job this summer is to help me get into shape...I'm taking my bike & maybe my kayaks, so we will have a busy summer.... ....we are also going to take in some museums & the King Tut exhibit which will be in Indianapolis this summer...wooo hoooo!!!! ...well..I have rambled on enough!!!! ..ya'll have a GREAT day...hugs to all!!!!” 4:51:19 AM 5/14/09 “More rain in North Mississippi this morning. I think it has rained every day this month. We have been able to turn the ac off and keep the windows open for the most part because of the cool temps but I know that will end soon.” 5:02:23 AM 5/14/09 “Good Morning Chili....not cool at all down here.....only in the 70s at night.....warm & wet here...lol....” 5:05:02 AM 5/14/09 “div's comment reminded me of Good Morning Vietnam: Robin Williams: How's the weather Rosevelt? Rosevelt Lee Rosevelt: It's hot. and wet. That's great if you're with a woman, but it ain't no good in the jungle. ...or words to that effect. Too much rain here. Our Sunday School class is scheduled to skip church this Sunday, drive to Sipsey, and have our lesson and lunch at Parker Falls. We were going to also take in the pair of falls at Turkey Foot and try for Upper Caney Creek. 80% chance of rain with thunderstorms. I informed them that they should make the go/no-go call because my tolerance for rain is going to be much, much higher than theres. They didn't fully understand what I meant and want me to make the decision. They may get to find out what I meant.” 5:19:21 AM 5/14/09 “Dayhiker.. I'd call it a 'go' and let them back out.... Takes you off of the hook... '32oz” 5:29:16 AM 5/14/09 “Good morning! Huge storm here last night. Just was all water, flash and boom though, no downed limbs or anything. More storms through the morning. We were needing the rain so I don't mind. Back to work today. =) Art fair and musical performance at Abby's school tonight. She's scared she'll fall off the risers while singing.” 5:35:33 AM 5/14/09 “If it was just rain and not also the threat of thunderstorms then I'd probably do that. I told them I'll take my 14x14 siltarp so we'll have a common area to eat and stay dry... Also, everyone is bringing their kids. I can see having my 9, 7, and 2 year old about 3/4 mile from the car and a real storm comes through. If it'll just be the chance for scattered showers then it'd be a go for sure.” 5:36:01 AM 5/14/09 “http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2623727&id=577767789 My son said they got a bunch of rain!!!!!....someone actually paid him $5 to go through that & get their car...he said yes since he is a full time college student and has a full time job & needs money!!!lol...” 7:20:32 AM 5/14/09 “Ever have those days where you want to cry but just can't? I felt worse today than I have since I started taking meds in November. My in-laws screwed up once again, I had to hire a babysitter 10 minutes before I left for the school board meeting where I got laid off. Maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow.” 9:23:42 PM 5/14/09 “Do it! Seems like you're feeling ill enough to have it be legit. I'm so sorry you're going through all you are right now. Hang in there Amy. Did I tell you I called in "Lice" a few weeks ago? Seriously. I did NOT have lice though, just woke up feeling not up to working and needed to spend the day w/ Joe. Hence the new haircut. I figured a shorter cut would make it believable. =) Don't tell anyone.” 9:34:41 PM 5/14/09 “Good Morning! Birds are singing, sun is shining. I've got work first thing and then off to home depot to get soil and some plants to build terrariums with at Scouts. Birch had an awesome day yesterday. Got a new cold weather system that is 20 pieces and will enable a body to sleep at 20°. He gets to keep all the pieces that might touch skin. I guess patagonia is making the silk weight long johns and a bunch of other stuff for the Gov now. He also had a change on his team and is now with a guy he played Army with and ran wild with as a kid. They've known each other so long the guy still calls Birch Fat Joe. =) I'm happy he has someone who has such a history w/ him on his team.” 5:20:52 AM 5/15/09 “Smiley...hang in there sweetie...but go ahead & cry...I'm sorry you don't feel good & got laid off :(” 5:33:39 AM 5/15/09 “I went to work Friday for the sole reason of getting my pink slip paperwork. The jerk never came with it. I'm taking Monday off instead, and going to my parents house until then. Evie is talking up a storm today! Oh my....last night she repeated the word "applique" with perfect pronounciation. Kids are amazing creatures. Off to plant flowers at church. Have a good day. Thanks for listening to me vent the other day!” 6:51:07 AM 5/16/09 “Give 'em hell, Smiley! < G > It's their loss ---- !” 7:00:12 AM 5/16/09 “Well, make that two CCW permit holders in the house now. Did the class yesterday. I've never shot a pistol and never shot anything larger than a .22 rifle and skeet shooting with a shotgun before this and that was 20+ years ago. I'm glad to know I can still shoot straight after all those years. Now I've got the itch to shoot some skeet again. last edited: 5/17/09 6:18:44 AM” 7:00:28 AM 5/17/09 “Skeet killer.” 8:40:35 AM 5/17/09 “I was unaware that clay pigeons were endangered.” 9:22:20 AM 5/17/09 “patience my ass, i'm gonna kill me something...” 2:42:25 PM 5/17/09 “You don't even want to know how The Urban Dictionary defines 'skeet shooter', HPM. LOL” 4:34:00 PM 5/17/09 “Playing hookey from school tomorrow. Still up at my folk's house. Will go home tomorrow, drop off E at daycare for a 1/2 day, and drop off my resume at a nearby district. I'm really dreaming about this job - keep your fingers crossed for me.” 4:56:11 PM 5/17/09 “I've heard that usage before. Do with it as you will. lol” 5:17:47 PM 5/17/09 “Fingers crossed SG. Work today and I HAVE to walk my dogs today and cook dinner. I hate cooking for two. Cold morning, was 36° when I got up about forty min ago. Sun is shining though!” 5:28:16 AM 5/18/09 “We're supposed to get down to 41 tonight, Sass. Ugh, it's a Monday, all right.” 6:42:50 AM 5/18/09 “Humpy Hap Day ----” 3:31:26 AM 5/20/09 “uh huh. 17 more days.” 3:37:19 AM 5/20/09 “Good morning, looks like it'll be a nice day out, sunny and almost 80. I'm going hiking with Msilver today on the local woodlands. I've been having fun riding my new road bike. I never had a road bike before so it's taking me a little while to get used to it compared to riding mountain bikes. It's addicting and I'm liking it more each time I ride it.” 5:45:47 AM 5/20/09 “Good to hear from you Rich!!!! I haven't been on a road bike in years!!! Have a a great hike. '32oz” 5:59:37 AM 5/20/09 “17 more days? Our last day of school is Thur.” 6:24:54 AM 5/20/09 “June 12th... 14 more days!!!! Loooking forward to plenty of bag nights!! '32oz” 6:41:12 AM 5/20/09 “June 10th is our last school day. On the flipside, thanks to the snow days we had (and a lack of admin. planning) Laurel will be in school on Memorial day. Sucks.” 9:10:59 AM 5/20/09 “uh... yeah.... like anyone is going to show up THAT day... that was like the one school district here that scheduled a make up day on Good Friday.. Anyone one with any kind of plans didn;t show up... Although I guess its better then taking a day on at the end of the year... '32oz” 9:44:42 AM 5/20/09 “I'd rather they tacked another day on than Memorial Day. A lot of people around here go away for the weekend. On the flipside, it would be a nice quiet day for HPM to stay home and work on his pergola project uninterrupted. ;D” 9:46:32 AM 5/20/09 “Laurel got in her first fight at school today. Her best friend, Corbin, was getting beat up by a fellow classmate named Cameron. Laurel tried to intervene, and got punched, thrown to the ground and kicked in the groin. She said she's ok, and that the little turd who did this didn't even go to the principals' office. I know there's a sub in place until the end of the year, but she and I are going to have a chat very, very soon over this.” 11:54:28 AM 5/20/09 “tree want I should get my friend Vinny form da Bronx to have a little chat with Cameron?” 11:56:12 AM 5/20/09 “Nah, I'd like Laurel to take some "self defense" classes so when she lands a punch or a kick it'll hurt a lot.” 12:15:48 PM 5/20/09 “...a late good morning!!!!...I had laundry to do...we finished the pool...& I now have to fix 3 meals a day....the 5 yr old is sick & coughing...& today I have a sore throat....sheesh......I thought I didn't have to do this stuff anymore!!!! ...lol...they are good kids....so no big deal...all they want to do is watch cartoons tho..I'm going to get them outside for a nice little hike up the road to look at wildflowers in a few.... ...hope all is well with everyone!!! ...hugs....” 1:39:32 PM 5/20/09 “Heck, it's almost Happy Hour!” 1:47:16 PM 5/20/09 “It IS happy hour!!!!!!!!!!
