SPICY HOT today ... WOW!

I was just starting to think that this summer wasn't really too hot ... yet.  Forget that thought.

TODAY ...
  • Took {k} to swim practice
  • Spent 3 hours at the pool with {c} and {k}
  • Grocery shopped at WalMart and SAMS

I have a headache. Surely it is from the sun and heat. I didn't want the television on (I just can't listen to extra background noise), so I asked {k} to grab her book and read.  

This is reading with STYLE ... 'cause everything with her has to be just so.


Meanwhile little sister is having fun with "U"Tube ...


Comet is just hoping that some of that sprinkler will come by to get him ...


Yes, these surely are the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER!
(note the browning grass)

I hope you got yourself a big ole sweet tea and got rid of that headache! I had one like that the day I went out to my friend Katy's house - 3 advils didn't touch it. I chugged a ton of water, got a sweet tea from McD's and by dinner time it was fading - although I don't think that Margarita at lunch helped the situation....but it was SO GOOD! :)

I hope you're back to yourself sooner than later - and yep, I think Sam's and Walmart will do that to a girl.

Poor Comet...he looks so hot! Cute pics of the girls enjoying a steamy summer day!

I think the headache is from Sam's Club and Wal-Mart too. ACK! I try very hard to not go into either. Last week, I popped into our Wal-Mart for thank-you cards because it was on my errand route. I left the store feeling completely heartbroken. The check-out woman...in her late 40s/early 50s...told me under her breath that every bad thing I hear about how Wal-Mart treats their employees is true. And then she said in these exact words..."We are nothing but pee-ons to them". I felt like I was going to get sick on the spot and left feeling more motivated than ever to never do business there again. UGH.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
