Friday...yea!  Tomorrow I get to sleep in and I'm really looking forward to it for some reason.  Cameron is spending the night tonight and he and Grandpa are immersed in Wi and Play Station games.  I'm trying to make some decisions about hanging pictures, mirrors and shelves in the guest room.  My goal for the weekend is to get them hung.

I also bought two mirrors and two cherubs from Zulily.  First time I ordered anything thru that website...took FOREVER to get here.  I ordered them around the 1st of September and they just arrived yesterday. 

Tomorrow, I'd like to visit the new Bolles Nursery on Allen Road.  My friend said it was very nice and I should take a look.  I really need to plant some flowers in the front yard...the ones the landscape company planted when we moved here are crispy now.  Any ideas for some fall color splashes?

To my WWS ladies...I've actually stayed on a healthy eating plan all week and...feel great.  Not surprised though.  Eating right always makes me feel better; but for some reason, I have the hardest time making myself get started.  Why?

Haven't heard much from my girls this week.  I did hear that 'Frank' (Adrian) got the staples removed from his head on Wednesday and got his 2 year shots (ouch) at the same appointment.  What a brave little man.  Speaking of 'the girls'...Terri turns 30 on October 30th.  My baby is turning 30.  Ouch!  Time sure flies...seems like we were celebrating her 10th birthday just a couple of years ago.  I'm supposed to have lunch with Tina tomorrow at P. F. Chang's.  I'm looking forward to it.

Well, time to go see what the 'boys' are up to.  It's pretty quiet out there.

Being a grammy is fun!

Three weeks ago I was already beginning to get nervous about taking care of Cristian and Adrian for 5 days while Art and Terri were in Mexico.  WHY?  It was a piece of cake...well except for Adrian's cracked head and 3 staples.  Honestly, I'll keep those 2 boys any time.  They were nothing but fun.

Art still had some time off and they came to Bakersfield on Wednesday and left today.  Terri sent me this picture of those two little monkey's sitting in the tree.  I love those two.  (Wonder what Cristian has been eating?  Blue lips :)

Thankful...

I added a new blog to my list this morning.  Beth Elliott is a former student of Tina's and presently at St. Jude's Children's Hospital going thru some pretty scary testing/treatment for a rare brain tumor.  Just reading all her posts makes me so thankful that my daughters were blessed with good health and really had no major problems.  Check out Beth's post.  It's very interesting.

Tonight we leave for Camarillo to stay with Cristian and Adrian.  I am looking forward to spending time with them, but a little apprehensive as well...just not knowing how they'll react to not having mom and dad around.  We have taken care of Cristian twice previously when Art and Terri went to Mexico and it was easy and fun...but he was a baby and such a good baby.  The boys are older now and very aware of who is (and isn't) present.  So pray for us.  We'll be there until Friday around 3, at least that's the plan.  Then back to Bakersfield for the rest of the weekend.  Cristian has school from noon to 3 everyday and we hated to have him miss it.  Hopefully, he'll go to school easily with us taking him instead of mom.  We'll see.

By the way, I've been very busy at work.  Wouldn't you know it...I'll be gone the next 3 days and I was looking forward to being gone because it was so slow at work.  Now I have plenty of work to keep me busy.  It always seems to work out that way. 

Folks...I have to buy a sewing machine!  What I mean is...I have to have something to occupy my time during the evenings.  My husband is quite contented to sit in front of the television every evening until he falls asleep and I on the other hand, eat my way thru another boring evening.  I need some hobbies and I used to love to sew.  My old Singer has a broken gear and needle (something).  I don't think it wise to put $100 into fixing it when it mainly sews a straight stitch.  Even the guy at Carlson's said it wasn't a 'top of the line machine'.  So I am going to make it a goal to get a machine in the next few weeks.  If you have any ideas for me...post them!!
