Storms!

Wow a pretty intense night for storms last night. I don't know how I managed to sleep through them but I did! lol The neighbors that are kitty corner from us in the back had their a big branch fall on the fenced behind us. The fence was JUST put up yesterday. the biggest portion of the tree is in my yard though. it took out some cable to the neighbors. Waiting for them to get home so I can go talk to them. Storms have been crazy this year so far. Hope we end up with a mild winter!

Happy Independence Day!

Hope the day finds you well! Planning on heading out to my sister's later this afternoon to enjoy the evening with family and friends! They usually shoot of some fireworks but not sure they made it down to MO this year. Just have to wait and see. Most of the "good" fireworks shows were last night. We didn't go out to see any of htem. lol DH worked and Dustin wasn't overly enthused about going out.

Tomorrow -- my parents leave for their first missions trip. My mom has been packing and unpacking and repacking. lol She is worried that the rv is overloaded from all her stuff. She is a riot! I know most of it is nervous energy. They haven't done anything like this before and she is worried about leaving the family and the business behind. Kind of hard for her to let go. They will be back at the end of July for a few days and then not back again until December. Makes me kind of sad too.

Lately I have been feeling kind of blue. Nightmares about my daughter and my mom leaving and turning 40 in about a week -- guess it brings out the sadness. Either that or it's pre-menopause lol Either way it's no fun!

Next weekend we are heading down to the Royals v Mariners game in KC. We will just stay the night on the 12th -- which is actually my bday -- then come home fairly early in Sunday. My DH has to work that night!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Kit for CHARITY

There is a mega kit that has been put together by some talented scrappers. The money from the kit is going to help with the cost of clothes, toys and medical bills of Abby and Declan.

Their story is listed on the link! Feel free to pass the link around! Let's do what we can to help these 2 innocent children.

What a great baseball year

NOT! I still am just completely at a loss at how terrible the Mariners are playing this year. Last year they came so close to making the playoffs. They added Bedard & Silva and a few other additions that seemed like such a great move! Then they started to play and it's been down hill ever since!

They are actually worse than horrible not sure what that would be exactly! lol They have the worst record in baseball and the only way you can find a team doing as poorly as they are you would have to go to single A ball - now that is bad!

They fired Bavasi yesterday. Will it help? Who knows -- I don't really think it will. I believe that the change needs to come from the players and the management that is closer to the day by day -- but that's just my opinion.

I still kind of listen but know this year is just a wash out. At least the Cubs are really kicking some butt! I have been enjoying listening to them win!

Dang that Dog!

My DH calls me around 3ish and tells me our sweet little dog got one of my razors. At first we thought it was no big deal. He calls me back a while later and it appears Jack has eaten the razor -- not just the plastic but the blades. My DH can't find them anywhere. So I tell him to phone the vet and they tell him to bring him in.

I tell one of my co-workers what our little jackster had done and he begins to tell me about a dog he had that had to be put to sleep for something similiar. So now I am anxious! I call my Dh about 10 times over the next 30 minutes waiting on the results of the xrays!

They finally get them in and NO razors! Yippee!! He probably did eat some of the plastic so they put him on a soft food diet for the next few days. I vaccumed the house to be sure that they weren't still on the phone!

He seems to be doing ok!
