If I don't hurry up and get Internet access at home I am going to go insane! But there are other things to attend to so I will focus on them first. One good thing is that the fence company is finally coming out this week to put my privacy fence up. Thank goodness my girl will have a yard to play in again and get their exercise. I have had to keep them on 40' leads and they keep getting all caught up together. It is just a pain in the butt. Not to mention they are country dogs and still can't figure out where all of these people around us came from and why they are there!
My neighbor's cat used to come over and check things out but now that she knows about the dogs she has decided to visit other neighbors. My girls don't even know what a cat is but they sure have barked at her. I can't wait to let them loose in the new fenced yard and let them get the running that they are used to. There is a huge tree in the backyard with the neatest area underneath it that is cleared out. It's the kind of place that I, as a kid, would have spend hours in. Who knows, I might do that anyway.
My precious daughter is pregnant. I can't remember if I posted about this or not. Let me tell you this..............she is M.O.O.D.Y!!!! But it happens. When a woman is pregnant those stinking hormones are going crazy and sometimes we just can't help it. She is doing her best and I'm sure it will get better soon. The main thing is that precious cargo she is carrying. She is wanting a girl. She asked me what I wanted and I said twins, one boy and one girl. She frowned at me! I said "well, you asked me so I told you!" I got to hear the heartbeat last week. Oh my! I could not get the smile off of my face. Even though it isn't the ideal situation I don't care. I miss all of my grandbabies so much. I did get to see Abby recently. Leah was asleep but Abby was glad to see me. I had a nice conversation with Beth (her mommy) and enjoyed seeing her and her husband.
Our weather has been so wonderful lately. Average highs in the low 80's or high 70's. We are actually having a fall this year. It's about time!
Life is good these days. We are settling into the new house nicely. My new living room furniture should arrive at the end of the month. That gives us plenty of time to get the rest of the boxes out of there and either thrown away or put up. The clutter is driving me insane!
I'll try to post a little more often but since I can only do it from work and on my lunch hour it makes it hard. In the meantime yall be happy and keep a smile on your face!

Busy weekend
When I wasn't sitting on a heating pad for this dang back, I was busy busy busy this weekend. I have to admit that I can't do a lot around the house yet, but I do it anyway.
Ryan and I went to Lowe's Saturday and purchased paint for the living room, his room and my room. I am anxious to get the painting completed. I hate plain white walls. They have no character. They are like my high school art teacher Mrs. Floyd would say "they are a blank canvas and once you start on it you are committed to it", or something like that. She was a cool art teacher. You know the kind, that really gets into the artsy part of art. Well, they might all do that but I only had her so she is all I have to compare to. Anyway, the living room will be a nice shade of brown to match the new furniture (whenever it is delivered!). I am so anxious to have the house in order but I realize that it takes time. We have managed to get quite a bit done already but there is sooooo much left to do. It's ok, it will all work out in time. God's time I say.
Work is busy which is good. It makes the day go by fast. I would rather be super busy any day than to not have enough to do. I was so tempted to come in over the weekend on my own time to get some work caught up but I have been told by management that I can't do that. Liability reasons which I understand but sometimes it seems like it would make it easier on ME to try and get ahead or at least caught up. Oh well, I have enough to do at home to keep me more than busy.
I still don't have internet at home yet. It is driving my crazy but I haven't decided which I am going to go with yet. I am thinking of going wireless since I have a laptop now. I just can't decide which service to use. I will figure that out soon I'm sure.
Well, that's about it for now. It's just about time to get back to work. I hope to post again real soon, until then be nice to each other and the next time you see a stranger smile at them. You'd be amazed how people react to that.

Who ordered the veal cutlet?
Pardon the title of this post. It is an old inside joke between myself and my oldest brother So. It pretty much means 'what the heck is going on and where am I, who am I and all other questions that involve me or my life'.
Things are so insane. Work is kicking in big time (it has been for a while), I still have so many boxes to go through and figure out where they go. The plumbing is fixed but now I need an electrician to do some updates with the system. I need to have the house sprayed for spiders and ants. UGH!
I am still suffering big time from this bulging disk smack in the middle of my spine. I don't know what my doctor is going to do about it. He changed some of my meds which seems to help some but that baby hurts! About the only thing that helps it feel better is a heating pad and being off of my feet. That is pretty impossible these days with so much to do however.
But we are all doing well. Ryan and Stephanie are still busy bees at home sorting out this and that and what not. My den is somewhat cleared out but the living room is another story. How in the world could I accumulate so much stuff? Oh well, it is what it is. I am glad the move is over and we are getting settled into our new house.
Ryan found a shortcut to work yesterday. It cuts about 7 minutes off of my drive time to work. YEA!!!!! Now, instead of taking 35 - 40 minutes to drive from Kansas it looks like it will take me about 5 minutes to get to work. How cool is that?
It is really odd to live back in the city again. Technically we are in the county but we're so close to everything!
I am so grateful for everything that The Lord has blessed me and my family with. I am really a lucky girl.
