ch-ch-ch changes....

Wow, maybe this should be a monthly blog eh? Biggest change, I am un-employed. Three teachers were let go, last hired/first fired, you know..... so there is a sadness. There were other cutbacks as well and thankfully, because I was a part-timer, I didn't find out until Monday where others were gone the day before Thanksgiving. The job fell in my lap to begin with, BUT the hours worked beautifully for my family, Bebe was going to a FUN preK with mama right there, a wee extra money was flowing.....good points? No driving in the snow-soon-to-come, excessive gas prices was making it a costly drive to work, more time to blog perhaps?? LOL

Onward and Upward. Oldest daughter has moved out. She and the Boy have bought a mobile home, and seem very happy. They have 8 rats, Sir Charles the cat and the birdie Daddy bought her for her birthday, and now a friend for the bird. We are planning a "family trip" to cut down a Christmas tree together and they were agreeable with that. They are still here almost every night but a little more independant as well.

what else, what else.....Big E is on the JV basketball team, first tournament this weekend. We have dinner plans next weekend with friends, fun fun. So there's an update on life in crazy land.....now if all three of my friends will comment, it will look like I have a life!! wendymom~this means you.
cousin Colleen~chime in too. :)

OK-- so we knew things were going to be crazy because they always are, right?!?

My question is this-- how come if she moved out they are still showing up every night for dinner?!? Get that gravy train a movin' mama! You should seriously start charging for dinner.. maybe you'll even get tips!

Did you say "8" rats?!?! Um, those are the cute ones in a cage right? Not the kind who rummage in your trash cans at night...scary!

Anyhoona-- love you girl. Call me soon and we'll schedule our annual Cookie Day!

Woo Wee! Old people rule the blog world! You sure don't have to travel far to have excitement in your life - unlike some of us.
