Talk about time

 Funny, time seems to be flying by. The kids have had their first week of school. So far, so good. I wish T.W. would eat breakfast!. I have to remind her every morning. With both of the younger kids now in middle school , I am planning to go back to school myself, I start in a few weeks. It is feels like the timing is right. It feels like I HAVE to do it.
  Summer held a few highlights, Court graduated. That was big. She is working part time and we have our fingers crossed that she will indeed start class in January like she says she will. We went to OCNJ with J.'s family. A nice enough vacation. J. went to Las Vegas for work. We didn't go to All Good. Bummed a bit, but there is always next year...
   This has been a tough year. We are waiting to see if J. will get a new job. His current employer was sold this week. The stress is so thick, you can cut it with a knife. I have been very emotional myself. My mom's birthday is right after mine. It's close. My sister is no where to be found. No cell phone, no address I can reach her at. I had a real eye opener with that, all the little things adding up. I feel sick inside. Sad. My prayers are in the safety of her kids, their mental and physical health. We have never been close. Years apart and miles apart. This is how it is.
  J. got free tickets on Tues. for  Shen Yun at the Kennedy Center. Very last minute, but we decided to go anyway. HA! It was a church service! A cheesy one at that! I am not a professional reviewer, but, well, thank goodness it was free! We did however enjoy a nice casual dinner at Farmers and Fishes in Georgetown. By the water. Could go again for sure. Loved the Hawiian Marinated Ribeye with pineapple salad. Yumm!
  All that said,  there is so much in between. Ready for the weekend.

Bloggin' Friend

   My dear friend http://cleeitsallaboutme.blogspot.com/ has started blogging. This chic is on fire. Here I can't think of 10 words to say in years of trying to write a blog. You go girl!!
   News on this front is spring has sprung, and we are busy. Tiny Whiny started soccer with Upward. I think this will be her last season with them. Monkey went to his first anime convention with his big sis, her beau, and a good friend. My oldest, sweet girl graduates too soon. J and I flew out to Colorado almost 2 weeks ago. My mom passed away. I can't  fully express my feelings. She has been sick for at least 10 years. She was only 54. It's surreal.

The Snow of 2010

   It is coming down...alot. people are still driving, but much slower. They say we could get 2-3 feet!! I know I will be writing, reading and sipping some tea. Maybe even looking at cameras online. I would love a new camera. The old one was broke in...July..August...
    Plans to go get the oldest one her grandparents car may be on hold for next weekend..depending on the out come of this weekend. Lucky girl gets a sweet ride for an early graduation.
   I bought a bottle of wine today. Not much of a drinker, just thought hey..stoke up the fire, cudlle with my guy..life could be worse. I also grabbed a couple if discount tickets for the Kennedy Center Brunch..I don't know if we will use them in the next month, but soon.They don't expire til August. I am thrilled at my purchase, I hope J is too!
