Quiet Saturday!

Quiet Saturday in the Joplin house! That's because Corby and the kids went to Oklahoma to visit Grandpa Charles. They were supposed to go over Memorial Day weekend, but Charles wasn't feeling well. Since Corby's birthday was yesterday, and Charles' birthday is tomorrow, they decided to go down there and celebrate! It was also a good opportunity for Brandon to see his Grandpa for a bit before he heads off to K-State.

Needless to say, I am enjoying the peace and quiet. I had to work late last night, and then Kaleb's alarm clock woke me up at 7:30 this morning. Normally I can go right back to sleep, but for some reason I couldn't this morning. So I got up, read the paper, cleaned up the kitchen, did the grocery shopping at Leeker's and got a few things done around the house. Then I went and took mom to the grocery store. Let's just say today is not one of her most lucid days. She's having issues again about her clothing, but I won't go into the whole story here. I am glad she got out of the apartment though and went with me to Dillons. She didn't need many groceries, and I picked up just a few bargains.

My plan for tonight is to do laundry (it's already started) and do some scrapbooking. I haven't had the desire to do any for a while, and I'm thinking that's what I want to do tonight.

My current book: The 6th Target by James Patterson. I love his books. They are so easy to read!

Current fav music is REO Speedwagon. Been lovin' the 70's & 80's classic rock lately.

Today's quote: "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket." -- Chinese proverb

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
