River living

Greetings from the river. The boys and I came down to see Mom and visit this weekend. They got out of school at noon on Friday and are out of school Monday so it worked out to be a good weekend to come. The boys and my step-dad, Riley, are out on a hike their favorite part about coming here. And the fact that my Mom always fries something. Today it is pork chops and let me say she fries up a mean pork chop. Also on the menu Au Gratin potatoes and lima beans. I love my Mama's cooking. Also I love I don't have to cook. It is so wonderful. This morning slept till 7:30 then ate and watched tv then the boys left for their hike and I layed back down. Kinda rested but not really sleep but laying there was wonderful.

So the agenda for today.
1. Eat fried pork chops.
2. I am thinking a nap after that pork chops make me sleepy.
3. Watch Alabama play Tennessee Roll Tide!!
4. Stay up late and watch tv.
5. Sleep some more.
6. Oh and eat cake my mom also made a cake. I will fit that in between naps and bedtime. Oh if only I knew when, my schedule is so full.
7. Miss Darrin. He had to stay home and work.
8. I think I will go I need a snack.

Random

Its cold. I am such a crazy self-centered person I really need to retire in Florida because I like 75 and sunny. I don't care for 42 in the morning. I have such a hard time getting up when it is dark and cold. I know, I know I long for fall and winter but I feel my oldness creeping up because I need a sweater to go to the store.

School is good I had a big test yesterday and now have a little break before I have to learn all the muscles in the body. Really do I need to know all of them? Just a few would surely be enough. I mean I am not going to be a doctor for Pete's sake.

Why do children think eye drops burn? They don't they are just cold. Eric's eye was a little red this morning so I put a few drops in. You would think I was putting acid in his eye. Okay just had the thought I should probably work on my bedside manner. Can I tell a patient to just man up and quit whining.

I am all alone the kids are at school and the dog went to get a haircut. I haven't taken him in forever and he really needed it. But it is so quite here without anybody.

I miss Darrin he has been working so much and well I miss him. Hopefully once the airport is done he will have some time.

Went to Ginger's last week and Melissa came over. Let me say the kids did great but man 3 year olds make a lot of noise and demand so mush attention. They just don't understand leave us be we are talking. How fast we get used to where we are at but I don't want to because I want to be a Grandmother who enjoys the loud and craziness of kids.

Thinking about going to mom's this weekend.Pretty sure me and the boys are going to. We haven't seen her since August and the boys are very excited about seeing her.


Plans for today.
1.Do laundry really that is everyday but I am going to mom's so everything must be washed!!
2. Study really it is my life and for the most part I love it,
3. Try to eat better today have not been doing very good with this lately.
4. GO walk. okay already did this but I like to put one thing on the list I can instantly check off.
5. Relax a little nobody's here so I can.

Farm, Retreat, and School

First its 85 I know others have blogged about it but really, 85 I want to wear a sweater!! NOW!! Okay I just watched Fred on Crissy blog so I had to whiny. So last week was busy Paige and I went up to school and made a pumpkin arch for Eric's class room. Then study, study, study I am about half-way through this semester and can't wait to be done. I am still maintaining my A average but I had a big lab test Monday and I think I did okay but it was hard.

Friday I went on a field trip with Eric to Old Baker's Farm, seen one pumpkin patch you've seen them all. But it was fun and well done and I got a pumpkin and Eric did too.

Also the ladies retreat was this weekend and we had a great time. It was about beginning a help-mate to your husband. It was also about our role in church and I needed to hear it. I think sometimes I forget that I needed to learn how to be apart of the body. So what I learned this weekend is that I am a pretty good help-mate and of course can always improve. But I think I am somewhat at a lost as to what my role at church is. So I am going to pray with intention and ask God to show me. Which is scary because I know He will answer me and what if I don't know how to do what He ask me.
