Haven't been in much of a blogging mood lately.
My poor Leah developed a severe case of Strep throat over the weekend, and is only today
going back to school. She had a fever of 102.3 and blisters in her throat.I'm bracing myself for
either Camryn, Joe, or myself to get it next.
My heart broke Sunday as I read the news that baby Ryan(Donna's son)
passed away. For those of you who
aren't familiar with his story click here
As you may have already noticed, my site, along with many others,
will be closed this coming Sunday
in honor & memory of Ryan & the Harris family. If you'd like to see the
Memorial page I made for them,click this graphic,

(from Joan's memorial page).
Please continue to pray for this family, and to love & play with your own, for you never
know from day to day just how long God will let us borrow his angels here on earth.

I am still numb from the news I received this morning....as we were about to leave Leah's soccer game, I ran into a girl who I used to work with at Arby's, and she asked me "Were you there when IT happened?" I had no idea what she was talking about(I've been out of work sick for the past few days). Well, it turns out Arby's was robbed at gunpoint Thursday night!!!!!!! No one was hurt, but my heart hasn't slowed down yet from talking to my boss and hearing all the details. I am sure had I been there, I would have in my pants!!! The police said this was too easy, and that thieves usually hit the 'easy' places a second time! I've been there for 15 years, started there just 9 months after the store opened, and this is the first robbery ever.

Zowee!!! It is super-windy today! Fall is definitely in the air!
When I stepped outside earlier, it almost blew me down.......well, who am I kidding? I'm far too heavy to get blown down :( but you know what I meant! ;)
~~~~~~~~~~
I worked hard today.....we were not only busy, but short-handed, so that made it seem even worse. And now I am dead tired---don't get me wrong, I am a morning person, but it catches up with me later in the day, and all that energy and cheerfulness that I displayed at 6am is long gone! LOL!
~~~~~~~~~~
Leah stayed home from school today because she's been having discharge in her eye.....her eye's not pink, and doesn't itch, so may go ahead and send her back to school tomorrow. She has been very bored here at home all day, and missed her friends.
~~~~~~~~~~
What the My neighbors keep firing a gun outside! It scared me to death earlier, when I was trying to take a cat nap on the sofa, and when I went out to investigate, they stopped......but now it's happening again!
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, Joe and his buddy Chad are gone fishing again...I'm really glad Joe has Chad to do that with, 'cause(and I hate to be a spoil-sport) fishing just ain't my thang!

:::Hmmm, kinda looks like Joe! ROFL! JK, sweetheart! Luv ya!:::
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, guess I need to start something for dinner, and Leah and Camryn have been begging to go for a walk to see the horses down the road from us, so let me credit the cuties I used in today's post, then I'm outta here! ;)

Wow, I tell ya.....it's a good thing I'm not diabetic, or I
woulda had sugar-shock yesterday.....why, you ask? Because
I have the SWEETEST friends in the world! LOL!
I received not one but TWO special birthday pages....both just
adorable! Click here to see the page Wendi put together for me

and click here to view the sweet page put together
by all my Pickle Pals

.....many big thanks and hugs to all of you who helped
make my day extra-special!
Joe took me out to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate, and then Leah and I hit Claire's
in the outlet mall, and got some trinkets and baubles! ;)Didn't get any birthday cake
, because my mom, the official cake maker, has been sick the past few days,
but that's ok....I can look forward to one this weekend *crosses fingers* I tried to take a
digital pic of the beautiful angel that Wendi mailed me, but it came out all blurry and out of
focus(think *New Dig Cam* for Christmas)My other gifts included a sigtag
from Wendi, another sigtag from Aretha,
2 sigtags and an adoption for my shoppe from Melly, my domain name from Malisa, many sweet
adoptions from friends, candles from my girls, and a new computer
chair from hubby! I am spoiled rotten! *giggle*
Well, time to make some dinner and get these girls ready for bed.....so, until the next blog, many
Heavenly Hugs!
