ho hum

I am at work and it is 1:45am and these people really need to go home NOW!!!!! Who in their right mind gambles at this time of the night during the week, in Nichols NY for god sakes. What really sucks is that I have to do this again tomorrow and sat and sun nights. Oh happy joy.

Christopher has hurt his tendon on his right ankle and was not able to suit up for practice today. I am keeping an eye on it and will call the dr wither later today or next week. He can't really aford for this to happen to him right now. He is not adjusting to high school just yet and now this. poor kid latley nithing seems to be going right for him.

Courtney was allowed to try blowing in her clarinet today and was quite sorry that she did. HAHAHA!!! Not that I want her to be in pain, but there are sometimes miss I know everything needs a reality check. but otherwise she is doing fine.

Chris has taken the weekend off so that he can get work done on dad's house. It's coming along slowly but surely. dad's bedroom just needs a few minor things done to it and he can move in to it soon. then the carpet people are going to start working upstairs and the kitchen is finally getting started.

the yard sale is tomorrow and my brother and sister-in-law are going to run it. i will be sleeping. hope it all goes well for them. so much stuff and so little space.

well got go give the cashier some more money.
night all

school days

well the kids started school today. Courtney was very excited and ready at 6am, Christopher was so nervous that he made himself sick with a migraine. He went to school but missed football practice. He's still naseous and has stomach cramps now but he will get over it. He is so much like his mother it's scary. I may to slap the lady silly. lol.... Of course I had most of the homework, bubba didn't have alot and courtney was ready to kill her honors teacher. it seems that the women may be a little ditsy.. well, that's according to all of the honor kids in her class.
the job is ok. I'm getting used to it but I still am not sure about it. the hours really suck and they are switching them on me again. apparently you don't have a set schedule. Oh that just makes my life soooo much easier. On the home front of weight loss still holding at 34 pounds. I will never lose more at the rate I'm going because I never now when to eat and when to sleep. sometimes being an adult really bite!!!!!!!!!!!.
well love to all

Football

Well football camp officially begins today. The jr high squad only has to be there from 4-7pm which is good for the boys but tough on the parents and scheduling.
I have tickets for the 4 of us to go to a picinic and baseball game tuesday night and now I am not sure if bubba is going to be able to go. that really sucks, everytime i try to plan something for the 4 of us to do together something always happens, but i will continue to try and get a family outing yet.
I added a picture of myself to the site. not a very good one but as soon as I loose more weight I will up date it. I am down 34 pounds and still going slowly but steadly.
Chris applied for a job in Elmira, now we are just waiting to hear from the company to see what they have to say, and to talk salary.

Courtney is gearing up for her surgery thursday. her biggest complaint is that she will not be allowed to play her instruments for 1-2 weeks. UGH! life suck for a 15 y/o.

love and peace to all

new job

well I just finished my first week at the new job. It's ok, not what I was expecting but it can only get better i hope. It's a little over whelming with all the paper work and constantly try to balance to seperate banks the whole time. we usually have a quater mill to process between the two banks. i haven't even gone over to the other bank that handles the casino. I just hope I haven't made abig mistake.... I am going to give it a good try but I can always start looking for another job in town if I find that this is not working out. This first weekend was hard. I am not used to staying up until 4am and then having to get up with the kids and then trying to sleep a little bit more than go to work. And I hate not having my weekends free. I am spoiled I guess.

Well the kids have been great this weekend and my friend Christine has stepped up to help this first weekend. she kept bubba busy and stayed with him that first night.

Chris is being very supportive, but I still am not sure.

courtney has started her fall band schedule and is going to be very busy, i'm hopin that some of her friend's parents will help out on late fridays to get her home from the games for me.

well on the weight part I am still only down 31 pounds, but that is ok, there is to much other things going on right now so I only hope that I don't gain any. that is my goal for right now.

love and peace to all.
