a little blathering!!!!!!!!!!

I logged into blogger with the intention of deleting my blog but there is so much on here that I don't have anywhere else that I decided against it. I am finding it hard to believe that my oldest son is going to be 21 tomorrow then on Friday it will be mine and Hubby's 22nd anniversary. My, how time flies. I look back over the past several years and see how much I have changed. I used to be so shy I would walk all the way around an aisle rather than say, "excuse me" but the other day I had a long conversation with a lady I didn't even know!!! Before it was over we both knew, where the other: worked, how many kids we each had and how long we had been married as well what our thoughts were on the things going on today. We even found out that we both liked FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!!! I don't even know that about any of the people I have known for years! The funniest stranger conversation happened this A.M. as I was leaving the gas station. I held the door for an elderly man and he started talking. Told me about a dream he had and before he was done he said, "you are a good looking woman!" I think he was 90 or so but it made me smile!!!!!

hooray!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving work in the A.M. to head to Indiana to get my kids! I am also gonna see my Jonathon! Can't wait! I can't believe my firstborn is almost 21. There are times I think it can't possibly be so!!! I dreamed last night that I was a teenager and dating.............I woke up to realize there was a man in my bed and 4 people that call me mom! A teenager, I am not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure am going to miss my kids this week. On Wednesday I am going to be completly alone for hours..............the first time in years! I sort of dread it and sort of anticipate it. Weird, how I used to think it would be nice to have a private conversation and now there is noone to talk to!!! Oh well! I just hope they stay safe and have the time of their lives. I think I will take a long walk, followed by a long shower and topped off by a long nap. I am so tired. I figured it up and I have not slept in for months. The last time I had 2 days off in a row I had to get up early to take my hubby to work. I get to have 2 days off in a few weeks and I look forward to it! My internal alarm wakes me at 5 or 5:30 these days!

Oh, bother!!!

I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet and relaxing. Sometimes I hate cell phones and other obnoxious noises!
I am looking forward to going away in a few weeks...........I need it! The kids have nearly everything they need for youth camp. I almost wish I was going too! To be honest though, I am looking forward to some alone time! Daniel asked me if I was going grocery shopping on Thursday and I TOLD him that I am not going grocery shopping!!! I asked if he had forgotten that we were going out to eat on the days I am off!!!???? He actually thought I was kidding about that, not hardly. Now if only I could send Jacob somewhere for a week!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure he wishes he could go to camp since a certain young lady will be there! Daniel had the idea that Seth could take Rachel to the banquet in Jacob's place but Jake said, "uuuuummmmmm no!"

It's a great day to be alive!

Where does time go????????? Not sure how life got so busy! I am love, love loving my new Sage/cream bedding! We went shopping for clothes which I told Hubby I was not buying because I still have a place I want to get to. It was great to come home with the new bedding though. I am thinking I will paint my lamp instead of buying a new one because I like it better than any I have seen lately! I can't believe my nest is going to be nearly empty next week! Kids are going to youth camp in Indiana. Gonna miss them, it will seem so weird to be alone so much. Not sure what I will do with myself!
