Wednesday morning

Got the brats off to school fine....





With minimal arguments....





That's a plus....





So i have lots of catching up to do :)





A week ago ( at least) Lori gave me an award :)

I am SO THRILLED :)

I have known Lori for a while and she is a doll...We bitch and moan to each other and sometimes hold each others hands via the keyboard :) and she is right! It is a dadgum good thing that we dont live in the same state cause our husbands would be out of their minds right about now...lol

I have to say that I started blogging in January 2005 in AOL's JLand..I have always kept a jounral of some type but never online...I started with AOL jounrals and was hooked...and I started because I needed a place write about my little brother...and just let it all out....without my mother who thinks everything should be kept inside...especially the details surrounding Chris' death...

I love to journal now...or blog now as it is called since I am over on Blogger...lol...It gives me an outlet...and lord knows I need one...

I am goign to give this award to a few people taht you may not all know but might love to read.. :)

Go check em out!

Here are the rules that I am COPY AND PASTING FROM LORI :)...cause i am a cheater like that...lol..

So here's the deal.

I need to post the award on my blog. Check.

Link back to the originating post. Check, check, check.

Pass it on to 5 deserving folks.

And . . .Post the rules for the recipients.

1. Dylann's Nana - I have been reading Barb for a long long time....I remember when HER Katie graduated from High school...and was in an American Idol type contest in their home town....and now she (Katie) has a baby...**sigh** where does that mean I will be 3 or 4 years....
2. Farmer's Wife - I so have not been reading her long...only since I came to blogger BUT i love to hear all about her day and I SO wish I was half a talented as her...case in point...her son FARMER JR...WAS A FLIPPIN JOHN DEERE TRACTOR FOR HALLOWEEN AND SHE MADE THE FLIPPIN COSTUME...
3. Steel Mags and Hairspray - Tina is from Tennessee...divorced ....strong....starting over...has two adorable daughters that she lives for....
4. Continuing the Journey - Cassey Lynn - That is SO not her name BUT I call her that anyway :)..I have known Cassey since she was 18 and she is a "reallife" best friend....we work together...and I already know everything she blogs about but I read it anyway :) oh and she is SUCH a WHINER! you just have no idea! ;)
5. My Southern Home - Sonya - Sonya and G and K and Tugie the toy p are your typical midwest Tenneessee family....and i LVOE to read about K's cheering and G's winemaking and Sonya's day to day is sometimes quite amusing.. :) io have been reading Sonya since K was referred to as the PRETEEN and now she is about to start driving on her own....say a prayer for Sonya and G....they will need it!
6. Just A Stirring In My Soul - Bernadette - Bernie and share a love of Vera Bradley..more like an obsession ;) her children are precious and named after football players I swear....Peyton and Eli...She doesnt update regularly but when she does? You are bound to catch a giggle or two :)
