Now, THAT SIL has brains! LOL! I sure hope your mom doesn't try to drive herself, although she probably will. Oh LORDY!!!

I would have loved to go to the auction with you! I also love festivals and the like. I can (usually) go without spending any money. It's kinda therapeutic for me. I also love prowling in antique stores, and don't have to spend a dime to feel like I've had a great time!

I wish I had your cooler weather - but then in the dead of winter, I'll be glad I live in Texas. LOL! Our weather has cooled off a bit, so it is not so stiffling hot. But we are supposed to have increase humidity this week, along with a tiny chance of rain. The humidity won't feel good at all, but a little rain would be nice!

Going to my daughters this evening for pot roast, mashed potatoes, carrots, and fried okra (from the garden). MMMMMMMMMM!

Sounds yummy Gayle!!

Today is our first day of school. Oh dear...lol. I don't think I forgot anyone. It really was good to see the kids and I can't believe how much some have grown and changed. Didn't have any problems (thank you God) getting the kids to school and I didn't have any of them cry because they were afraid. I don't think the bus is going to be quite as full this year.

It sure is hot and humid today and suppose to be the same tomorrow. Those big yellow bananas don't have air conditioning so it gets quite hot and dusty. This weekend though it's suppose to cool down nicely into the 70's....I sure hope so.

Not much else going on right now.

I'm glad that your first day went so well. It will probably be nice to not have as many kids. That will make it shorter to pick up and to take home.


I tried to go swimming again yesterday. I was afraid that the water had cooled down because our nights have been getting cooler. I was right.......after one lap I got out......it was just too cold. I'm going to miss swimming!!

Are you glad to be back in the bus routine Janet?

Diana, it has gotten so cold here in the past few days! Last Thursday it was so hot, we had Scott's dad out for supper and ate outside at 8:30. And now I'm wearing sweaters constantly and we turned on the furnace this morning after I woke up shivering! I think summer is gone for this year!

I have worked so much OT in the past month or so. I will probably be working all night tonight, and tomorrow we will submit the project. As I think I mentioned before, we have a bunch of designers working here with me from Arizona and Mexico. Tomorrow night they are going to have a big Mexican feast here, and our boss is supplying drinks, and we are inviting the client out as well for a celebration. Yay we're done! Lol. I am taking next week off work, because frankly, I'm burning out.

This weekend, Scott and I are heading halfway to my home to go to our friends' wedding. We'll stay overnight in a hotel (with a pool and two waterslides so we can have waterslide races LOL! We're dorks) and then going to visit my parents for Sunday and Monday. They're going to take Layla for us while we're at the wedding. I'm so lucky to have them around for that!

LOLOL....Lindsey...I guess I'm glad to be back in a routine, not sure about the bus part....

The afternoon route went very well also. I did have one boy cry a little bit, but I had him talk to another little girl and then he was fine. His dad did ride the bus with us this morning because he has anxiety issues....mostly for just new and different things. Once he gets use to something then he's okay.

I don't have quite as many kids at this time, but I have to travel more distance so it's a longer route. Oh well... What else have I do to...lol

It got up to 91 today and tomorrow heading toward 94 with high humidity. Man.....that bus is gonna be hot. Let's see.... one day down....179 to go.

I'm looking forward to the Labor Day weekend. Not sure why....we never do anything...and there really isn't much to do. I'm getting that couped up feeling can ya tell? I need to get out of this house for awhile.
