Mom of many heading into empty nest syndrome- come enjoy the ride!

About Me

My photo
Little Town in the middle of Nowhere, Texas, United States
I'm a mom of 4 boys: Jay who's 30, Jory who is 27, Tim is 25, and B is 23. I also have a daughter, Kristi who is 33. I have a grandson, Little Bit/Elmer, that was born in July 2009. I have a new grandson who was born in September of 2017. We moved from North TX to East TX on the land of our dreams in '09 and I love the peace and quiet. It's so nice to have trees again after 11 years of flat and hot. I enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'm a huge baseball fan. Some might even call me obsessed with the game. ;) My favorite teams are the Rangers and the Red Sox. Being a Red Sox fan makes life interesting as all 4 of my boys are Yankee fans. (Basically, I only started cheering for the Red Sox to give the boys a hard time and then actually became a fan) I'm a happily single (well...divorced) mom.

another day

It's been a while.  I'm just not used to being gone from my house so much.  And the people.  Oh the people.  Why is it the few that are weird that stick in your memory?  The ones that try to convince us that their vitamins MUST have given them the cocaine line.  Or it was the muffins that they ate for breakfast giving them the positive marijuana strips.  I would say that B has gotten a definite eyeful being up at the office with us.  He went out on the Midway last Sunday and blew $20 on the games.  He came back with a 2 foot tall dog and a basketball.  Apparently, he has quite the luck with the games.  He won the basketball on his first shot.  It took him a few shots to knock all 3 cup things down with one ball to win the dog.  So now I have a HUGE dog hanging on my bedroom wall.  

Little Man finally got his license.  Another headache for momma.  More stuff to worry about.  Another kid out on the roads.  Beware all drivers!  ;)  Cousin B finished his car today and I took it to get inspected and dropped it off at his work.  He's so very happy.  If he doesn't change his ways- he'll have his license shorter than any kid in history.  His mouth has been over-loading the rest of his anatomy lately and I'm not one to put up with it.  He's 16 so of course he knows EVERYTHING and can solve all the problems in the world with his infinite wisdom.  Yeah- right.

Then of course, on top of everything else- the heathen children I have to claim have been so kind as to infest me with some awful type germs they brought home from the germ palace that our district calls a school.  B and I can both be healthy All. Summer. Long.  But no! The state insists that I send them to that colony of infestation filled with snot nosed, germ filled, bodies with no concept of personal hygiene and I end up feeling like my body has been taken over by aliens armed with tiny hammers.  It's enough to make home schooling sound like a good idea.  ;)  

To all my online friends- I miss you.  I am keeping up with your blogs even if I haven't been able to comment as much as I'd like.  

Congrats to my wonderful Red Sox for their win last night in their first game.  I saw a GREAT picture of Papelbon today from the win last night.  Unfortunately, thanks to the nasty germs I was infested with- I missed the end of the game.  :-(

I am SO with you on sending them back to school. We did well all summer and then *BAM*, illness. I hate that part! :)

If you have trouble with roses, try any of the "knockout" varieties. Mine have grown huge in 1 season and bloomed all summer. No spraying or bugs.
