One year closer to retirement !!

Yup, I must say that is a lovely thought. I loved my day and having my mom here for awhile has made it really fun!!
I love my family and my sweetheart, we got to go on a ride tonight and I still get breathless when I am with him!!!
Yes, the advantages of having birthdays are so awesome and having good health to enjoy them is a blessing!!!!

Happy Birthday, Heather Danine !!!!!!


34 years ago today !!!!!

When they put that precious bundle in my arms, I couldn't believe she had just left Heavenly Father's arms!!! I was excited, scared, exuberant, and thought I could not love any one more than my Heather Danine!!! She became a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend to all who has crossed her path.
Thank you, Heather for being the first best friend with four more to come. I love you!!!!

YUP, THE FIRST WEEK IS OVER !!!!!

Can I just say this week of registration is over and now I feel like I finally have a handle on the "don't get so uptight" thing? I love the people I work with and now I am so much happier with the kids coming back. FOOTBALL starts in a few weeks and I am so excited!!!! I can scream my head off and nobody cares except for Dad who has purchased earplugs so I don't give him a headache!!!!!!
So here comes the Bulldogs and the crazy lady with the big mouth!!!!!!

Can you guess what this is about ????

Yup, the first day of work is over and OH MY GOSH what a day. With the new students registration and getting back in swing of the work day grind, it was most interesting!!! It was so good to see my office "buddies" and to get on the summer happenings which we could have done all day but we were suppose to be collecting a pay check so that was kept to a short time. I forgot and I seem to do this year after year, how much is involved in helping to keep a high school office functioning!!!!!
But as I have stated before, one more year closer to retiring, lol!!!!!

My family ...........

Well, here we are, one big happy family and by the look on my face you can tell I start work on Monday, the 28th (and you thought it was from Tif choking me~ha!). But to tell the honest truth I am looking forward to it because that means I will be one year closer to retiring and at my age that is what it's all about. I have the most supportive family anyone could ask for and my sweet husband tops the list. He and I are a team and we can accomplish any thing we set our minds to and believe me I am so looking forward to eternity.
Our family keeps me sane and on top of things and for that I am so grateful.
OOOHHH, WE ARE A HAPPY FAMMMIIILLYY!!!!!!!!
