I haven't been updating that often because frankly, nothing new and exciting ever happens here. Let's see what I can come up with.
Chris came home from school today with the following story: "Mom, I fell asleep in class today and my glasses snapped." Sure enough, his frames were snapped up above one lens. Do I believe they just snapped like that when he fell asleep? No. I think he was probably messing with them like he does. My reponse was as follows: "That's it, next time you are just getting geeky plastic frames." Ha. Chris is on the academic team for 4th and 5th graders. Practices start after Thanksgiving vacation and the competitions start in February, I believe. Or maybe March.
Josh is still the pickiest eater I've ever seen. I'm still holding out hope it's just a phase. I'm also holding out hope that he doesn't need glasses, ever. That boy is destructive and ornery. I think he gets it from my dad (I've heard stories, he was ornery when he was a kid). I was an angel. Seriously.
Angie will be one, ONE on Sunday. My baby! She has an appointment on the 25th for her one year checkup. She's off of formula now. Though I don't miss the $5.78 (specialty formula) a bottle, I sure do hate how fast my last baby, EVER, is growing up!
My parents are coming out to visit. They will be here for the week of Thanksgiving. One day I'm planning to take them down to Lynchburg. They've never been on the Jack Daniel's Distillery tour. Other then that, I'm sure my mom and I will watch a lot of horror movies!
I do know when James is coming home, but since I don't know who reads this blog, I can't post it until he gives me the go ahead. Not because he wants to surprise anyone (other then the kids, they don't know) but because he doesn't want people finding out so they start calling and bothering him the day he walks through the door. There is a lot of drama going on with his side of the family right now. James hasn't spoken to them in months. The sad thing is, I honestly don't believe they understand what he's upset about. I can sum it up with this sentence and I'm sure all of you can get it...not one of our kids got even a birthday card this year. If you know us, you know that gifts and money do not matter. It's the fact that even though we live far away, you still remember we have children and maybe want them to know that at least one day a year, you remember them and think of them. It isn't just James that is hurt by it, I am too. When all is said and done, I'm sure one day things will be smoothed over but the line has been crossed so there will be some new rules that weren't in effect before. But now isn't the time to get into them.
I'm still slowly, but surely, plugging along on my diet. The weight loss has slowed, but I'm still that much closer to my goal every week. If I could only decide on a goal. I guess I'll know it when I weigh it. Actually, tomorrow is weigh in day. I guess I could start making a post about that once a week. Look for that tomorrow!
Well, I think that's about it. Oh, one more thing. Pat, James' email is mghtyhawk@yahoo.com and mine is cleverfox78@yahoo.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
