End of June Already?

I can't believe it's already the end of June! Seems like the kids were just getting out of school for the summer, and now it's only 7 weeks until Brandon heads off to K-State and just less than that before the twins head back to school. Time sure has a way of slipping away from us!

Nothing major to report. Corby and the kids made it home from Oklahoma around 2:30 Sunday afternoon. They had a good visit with Charles; who is now thinking about moving back to Kansas! He's got friends from his trucking days who live in El Dorado and Leon, and there isn't much keeping him in Oklahoma. We hope he does decide to move up here. I think it would be good for him.

The twins had their 3-hour night driving session last night. Corby and I made good use of the time while they were driving - we went to the Palace and saw WILD HOGS with John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William Macy. It was SOOOOO funny! The kids had seen it when it first came out, and they really enjoyed it too. We hadn't been to the Palace in a long time. It only costs $2.50 to see a movie there, so we only spent $5!!!

I went to mom's tonight on my way home. She seems to be doing okay, but had some questions about her toilet and whether it was working properly (IT IS!). For some reason the toilet is one of her "stress" items, and she tends to imagine problems with it when there is absolutely nothing wrong! I fixed her a frozen meatloaf dinner, got her mail, set out her pills, and visited a bit.

Had a crown fall off today, so I called the dentist and they are getting me in at 9am tomorrow. Brandon will have to take the twins to and from driver's ed tomorrow.

I just finished "Laced" by Carol Higgins Clark. It's a Regan Reilly mystery, but I don't think it's one of her better books. I am getting ready to start "Revenge of Innocents" by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. I've read most (if not all) of her books, and enjoy them.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
