Been really busy (as usual) lately. I feel like I say that all the time, but it is true, I promise! With school winding down, I have been trying to get all the loose ends tied up there (posting grades, taking up books, working on cumulative folders, etc.) so that I can get the heck outta Dodge as soon as possible! I'm still helping daddy down at the grill on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Mom has orders from her doctor to stay off her foot completely for another month. I would be going crazy if I were her. Then again, I guess I would be getting a lot of the stuff done on my computer that I am always saying I want to do. Not that I would want to be in her position!
Sam's birthday is Saturday. We are letting him have 4 little boys over to spend the night at the playhouse mom and dad bought for the grandkids. Brad is going to "camp out" with them. I went tonight to buy his birthday presents. I was going to buy him an iPod but even the Nanos were $200, which was more than I was willing to spend for a 7 year old. Instead, I bought him a new bike (his old one has HAD it) and I bought him Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. He LOVES that game. I hope he'll be happy with that. When Brad and I went to Biltmore, we bought Lily a porcelain doll (what were WE thinking?) for her birthday in July and Brad has FINALLY decided to buy a swing set because Lily asked him for one the other day. I really don't want to do a party for her (I just hate birthday parties, does that make me a terrible mom?). My babies are growing up and they are not babies anymore, are they? Depressing!
Speaking of babies, Brad's brother Jeff (the middle one) and his wife, Mary, are going to have a baby in October. They just found out yesterday that they are having a girl! I am totally surprised because they both just seem like boy parents, if there is such a thing. I am really happy for them.
Let me update you on our coyote situation... Yesterday I was coming home from Linda and Dickie's and I was headed to mom's to pick up some strawberries. Just as I got to the house a coyote came out of my yard and ran across the road right in front of me. A few seconds later, here comes Burger and Taco chasing after it. I pulled over on the side of the road and called the dogs and blew the horn and was finally able to round them up and get them in the van with us. Meanwhile, the coyote just trotted along in the field across from the house and watched us. It didn't take off like you would expect a wild animal to do, it just kind of took a few steps, turned around to watch, took a few more steps, etc. but it never seemed afraid or in any kind of hurry to get away. I put the dogs up in the lot and when I went back out the driveway I didn't see it anywhere. Now I am really getting nervous about this thing. I have seen it (yes, I feel like it is the same one) three times in the past two weeks within a very close vicinity to my house. At first, I think I was just freaked out but now I am starting to feel like I have a legitimate cause for concern. I am somewhat worried about the kids going outside to play, which is not fun since it is definitely outside weather and we are getting ready to be out of school and home all day.
I don't think I have written since the finale of LOST was on last week. Oh good gracious, how I love that show! It is just so intelligent! Kudos to Carmen for finding the Jeremy Bentham connection! You are brilliant, brotha!
Hey, did you see that Obama has the delegates needed to be the Democratic nominee? I voted for Hillary, but I will support Obama now that he is the nominee. There is some talk of Hillary possibly being his VP nominee, which I think would be very smart. And I loved Bill Clinton and I think he will be influential if she has anything to do with running the country. And I think that would have to be a good thing, since he did an outstanding job as president himself. It's not that I am such a die-hard democrat... I am just a die-hard non-republican. Actually, I am just anti-George Bush. He is just embarrassing. Has anyone watched Letterman's segment called Great Moments in Presidential Speeches? If not, you should go on you-tube and search for it and watch. Absolutely hilarious!
Anyhoo, gotta get to bed so I will be able to function in the morning. By the way, my husband has been an absolute delight lately! Washing clothes like crazy, being sweet and thoughtful, and all the things a husband should be! I love him! Our anniversary is Friday and we will have been married 9 years.
