P.S.....

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!


ok and GO BEAVERS!!!!!!!

Where did Summer Go....(and more ramblings)

I can't believe it is fall. Yesterday with the rain was nice, but kinda depressing knowing it is just the beginning.

Summer was busy, did alot, but there was still alot of things I would have liked to do and the last couple weeks have been insane!!!

I think we are all getting back into the whole school routine. Both boys are doing awesome, I am soo proud of both of them. They are both pulling all A's except they both have a high B in math (both are in advanced math..sorry bragging for a moment). Drake has decided to join the Lego Robotics and is really excited about it, I think it will be good for him. Gunner is just kinding laying low, getting a feel for the land and seeing what he wants to do. He doesn't want to get too bogged down yet, so just kinda checking things out (his words).

Football practice takes several nights a week and then Sundays are shot with Football and Baseball games (I think tomorrow is the last baseball game though :D, football goes thru the middle of November). Did finally manage to get my stuff together and have a garage sale (2 actually, long story, not worth repeating). Got rid of alot of stuff (and added some money to the vacation fund, more about that in another post) and got the house straightened up. (I am getting excited for my new doors, can't wait, but then it makes me see/think of all the other things I need/want to do).

Today is opening morning of deer hunting. Gunner was soooo excited, he is legal and ready to shot a deer. He is such a good helper around here and has really helped pick up the slack from his slacker brother that he was rewarded with a new rifle for hunting. Not sure what he got, a Weatherby something or other, he is sooo ready to break it in today......Duck Hunting starts next weekend (Summer Lake), so between hunting and football, once again my weekends are pretty well shot until January, OH WELL, maybe I can get some quilting done :D

I am sure there is lots of things I could/should/need to post about, but I can't remember. I do have a bunch of recent pictures of the boys on my camera, but I would have upload them and then deal with them, so for now they will stay on my camera, but one of these lonely saturday or sunday mornings, I will do it, I promise.

As I sit here in my nice quiet house, all alone (except the doggies), I am thinking of how nice it would be to go plunk my arse on the couch and either watch trash TV (LOVE IT!) or read a book...BUT since it has been, literally, a month of Sundays since I have bought groceries, I think I better go get dressed and head to Costco and the grocery store, sounds cheap and fun huh?!!

Hmmmmm........

So many things I could/should blog about, oh so little time. I would not even know where to start, so not even going to bother. I will post a football schedule below (always possibly subject to change once the rain starts), otherwise, I think this just about sums up, well, everything :D

don't have a Fall Ball Baseball Schedule it is subject to change on a weekly basis!....

Until the next millenium when I decide to post, have a good evening! (Happy Birthday Tyler and Happy Late Anniversary Missy and LeRoy!)

Goals For Week

Maybe if I write them down I will be more inclined to get them done. and of course it will be no particular order!!

**Make a list of goals to accomplish (see I am already ahead of the game!)
**Get back into a walking routine (Hmmm, I do own an elliptical....)
**Get Boys off to school (YIKES, High School and Middle School!)
**Upload, order and organize some pictures (I think putting scrapbooking here would be too much to ask)
**Get Hair done
**Get Pedicure, maybe a manicure (I deserve it, wonder if I could sneak in a massage?)
**Meet with Financial person about 401k/pension
**Work on quilt top(s) and tote bag(s), finish a quilt? (NAH, why do that? HAHA)
**Research a vacation (20th anniversay this year, HOLY COW!)
**Clean my bedroom (makes me sound about 14 :D)
**Pack Trailer and buy groceries for Camping -- WAHOO!!!!
**Find stuff, Organize stuff and Think about having a garage sale (Is Sept too late to have one)
**Find out about having wood delivered
**Sit in the sun with a book for an hour, oh wait I can do that camping
**Make Menu, Buy Groceries, Do Laundry, Vacuum, Pay Bills, Dust
**Detail the Expedition (???)

Ok, I think that should get me thru the week.

Karma.

What a Bitch she is!! I don't know what I did to piss her off, but I sure wish she would move on to someone else!! What a week......

I think I'm Ready

For school to start anyways. All school clothes and supplies are bought, New shoes are under the bed, all registered, PHEW!! School clothes shopping was done in a marathon on Saturday. Pretty much everything we bought was on sale, but man oh man my pocketbook took a hit!! Holy Cow!! Drake is really excited for school to start, Gunner's not sure, but it won't take long for him to get in a routine. I will be glad to be back on some kind of a schedule. Although we did get the football game schedule, it is kinda depressing to see every weekend tied up until November, OY! Don't have a baseball schedule yet, oh well.

Well, I finally caved with Drake, bought him a cell phone (yes, his is even purple), WHAT WAS I THINKING!! It is soo funny to see the "newness" of it, just like a new toy....of course it won't be soo funny if he goes over his minutes on texting!!! (I have created a monster!)

About all I know, other than I am ready for a vacation and camping at the coast! I can't believe summer is almost over. Where did it go!?

Craziness!!!!

Where oh where did the summer go. I can not believe the boys start school 2 weeks from tomorrow. 2 WEEKSS!!!!! We had registration this last week, Gunner at the high school and Drake at the middle school. That was a real reality check. How did I get so old? How can I have a Freshman and a 6th grader? I don't feel that old!!! Well school does start soon and guess what?! Little Miss Procrastinator has not bought ANY school clothes yet! I better get to crackin on that. We do have supplies and backpacks (for the supplies I cleaned out a tote I had from the last several years, almost was able to complete Drake's list :D)

Along with the normal, getting ready for school craziness. Drake has started football practice. (He looks so small out there) He is playing up this year and I hope he can make weigh in every week. He is such a twig... That is 4 nights a week for 2 1/2 hours and then they both are playing fall Baseball again (at practice right now as a matter of fact). I know, I know, I said I would not do fall baseball again, BUT, all the games will be in Lebanon (YEAH, no driving to Oregon City EVERY Sunday) and they will be scheduled around football games (YEAH again!) Gunner has decided not to do any other sport this fall, although there have been many that tried to convince him to play football. he wants to concentrate on school (good boy!) Don't know schedules yet for either, other than I do know that Drake's 1st game is Sept. 9th at 5:00 P.M @ Lebanon High School.

That is about all for now. Today was a try to catch up on laundry, buy groceries and get ready for the next week kinda day. That is about all that is going on in our world, just the normal crazy kinda stuff....

Oh yeah, we did go fishing yesterday at Clear Lake and Carmen Reservoir. Both boys caught some fish. It was not as good as when Mark and I went, but they still got to catch some fish. Also, Mark did bring home a Salmom and Halibut last weekend, YUM!!! Going to the coast at the end of the month, hopefully we will get some crab, DOUBLE YUM!!!

Stay cool this week, gonna be a hot one again! Happy Birthday Missy, I know you are either in Vegas now or getting ready to leave, but have a good one, have fun and stay out of trouble (wish I was there):D
