August? Where did July go?

Can you believe it is August already? Where did the summer go? School starts next Thursday!

Look at these two beautiful kitty cats!Aren't they sweet? Getting Abby was the best thing for Muffin. She was missing Callie, even though Callie was old when we got Muffin, and they didn't really play together, but they did snuggle up next to each other sometimes. Abby is still very much a kitten, and can be very annoying, especially if she climbs up your legs (yes, she'll be getting declawed when she's 6 months old). But she is also a sweetie pie!

And now - the biggest project in our house the last couple of days? Clearing out the boys bedroom and painting! And I have to say I didn't have to do any of it!!!! (That's the best part). Kaleb has been wanting to paint his (well it's his when Brandon is gone) bedroom for a while. We told him a couple of weeks ago that if he totally cleaned it out, including the closet that was a disaster area, he could paint. Lo and behold - he did it! Actually, he and Brandon went through the entire bedroom last week and filled up several trash bags. So...we went and bought paint last night. Kaitlin helped Kaleb with all the prep work and painting, and it's taking shape. Here it is still in progress.My camera batteries died while I was trying to take a picture of Corby putting up the new ceiling fan. I'll post a picture of the room when it's all done. We still have to get some curtains and clean the carpet before moving stuff back in. Carpet cleaning will happen tomorrow night. I'm really proud of the kids. They did a great job. I asked Kaitlin if she wants to paint the rest of the house and she's ready! Now we just have to pick some colors, and figure out how to paint the entryway. Living in a bi-level can be a pain! Oh well, we will figure something out, someday!

Music playing right now - Keith Anderson's new CD "C'mon". Kaitlin went and got it today at Best Buy. REALLY, REALLY GOOD! He's from Oklahoma and pretty much a hunk too!

I am SO ready for this heat to be gone! Even 90 sounds good...try to stay cool everybody!

I'm with you. I cannot believe it's August already. Christmas will be here before we know it.

Those two cats are so cute. I wish Justin would let me get another cat. It ain't gonna happen. ;o(

Tell Kaitlin she can come over anytime and paint my house. I HATE it!!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
