Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween.

We went to town for a bit, Stopped in at the Library for some free on line for Jerry and Beth. Jerry found a few phone numbers to call on Monday for job searching. Beth was updating her computer. I sat for a bit with them. Talked to an old friend a bit, catching her up on current events in the family including my nephew getting married this past summer to one of Beth's friends. and a bit of chit chat. Hard to believe that her oldest is now 18. Kids grow too fast these days.

I've learned that it doesn't do any good in trying to defend or explain yourself. No one is going to want to believe you any way. People will think what they want and condem you any way, because they can.

Oh, I didn't mention, Beth was dressed up today. as a vampire. She's so enjoyed reading the Twilight books and Has talked me into watching the movie. Intresting to say the least. I try to never condiem a book or movie without at least trying to view it. I'm not much of a vampire reading person but now she's got me intrested in reading at least the first book of the series. I have started the Harry Potter books a few times and just can't seem to get intrested in them enough to keep reading. That being said, I see no harm in the average kid reading them either.

Back to Beth's being dressed up. She got lots of "Looks" while we were wondering around the local Wal-mart. One kid really enjoyed her look and was thrilled that she would talk to him about dressing up. He kept telling his Dad he should have worn his costume as well. A few other small kids were dressed out. Some of the "Adults" kinda looked down their noses at her. I figure they have their oponion. She can do as she will, she's old enough and besides she was having fun. With the month we have had, a little fun was very needed.

Jerry and Beth ended up going back to town, once we got home to pick up a few missed items. I stayed home, as much to keep the dogs company as anything. No trick or treaters here. We are too far from the road and to far out of town for any one to stop in. The plans Beth had, fell though when her friend she was going to go out with, had other plans for this evening.

Turn back the clocks tonight. Great. Oh well. we will be jumping the clocks ahead soon enough. eithe way the day will only have so much sun shine no matter what time the clock says it is. try to explane to dogs that it's too early, when the sun is peeking through the windows and they are use to going out a dawn first light.

For Today... October 28, 2009

Outside my window... Today was sunny and in the 50's but we are going to have more rain and cold starting later tonight

I am thinking... hurting to much to know what I'm thinking. b2 years in a group and removed. I hope that the other woman was also removed. I didn't start it. I answered her email to me and then got ripped to shreds. Life is un-fair and some people can be very spiteful.


From the kitchen... fish sticks, mashed potatoes and green beans

I am wearing... dark gray sweats and a tshirt


I am hearing... the dryer

Around the house... Just when I think I have things figured out, chaos happens

For Today... October 21, 2009

For Today... October 21, 2009

Outside my window... (6 pm ) The skies are dark and gray and it's been raining off an on all day long

I am thinking... (6 pm ), I may end up having to bring in our stuff from out of the van. I hope not. But we've been at Beth's house for over a week now. and still no jobs to go to.

I am thankful for... (6 pm ), Internet. I do not want to have to clean my daughters' house. I did it last time I was here. With the internet, I have something to do while everyone else is either sleeping or playing a ps1 game.

From the kitchen... (6 pm ) Potato soup. Jerry said he's not sure he'll want any of it. Because I put about a 1/3rd of a bag of mixed vegetables in it. I like it like that and Beth said she does as well.

I am wearing... (6 pm ) I am getting tired of only wearing two outfits. but I don't want to have to bring in my suitcase. Today is gray sweatpants (I have 4 pair of them, plus other colors) and my rebel shirt with a horse on it.

I am reading... (6 pm ) besides emails, A Country Living magazine.

I am hoping... (6 pm ) broken record here. That the phone will ring with a job for Jerry to go to. I als hope that the weather will clear up and we can have some nice days. Missouri isn't usually like this so soon in the colder seasons.

I am creating... (6 pm ) Nothing at this time.

I am hearing... (6 pm ) I am playing the midi's I have saved on my computer. rain on the roof over my head

Around the house... (6 pm ) I did up some dishes.

One of my favorite things... Is watching Jerry take the dogs out. They will walk him all over the yard if he'll let them. I only walk down the driveway a bit, and back with them. Molly, Beth's dog, loves to trip over their lines.

A few plans for the rest of the week... (6 pm ) none made, yet.

For Today... Tuesday October 20, 2009

For Today... Tuesday October 20, 2009

Outside my window... (9 am) We had a brief storm come through before sun rise. Now the skies are claen and it's fresh out-side. If I didn't know it's fall I would say it feels like Spring out side. (9 pm) It's dark outside, now and raining. We had a good day for the most part far as weather goes. Warm enough I didn't need a jacket. Cool enough to have a window down in the van while we were driving back home. But now, it's wet out and I know my dogs are not going to want to go out in that. Poor Sam, he's on a chain outside. Once our dogs are walked one more time, he'll be allowed off for the night. If he didnt try to fight with Macon all the time, he wouldn't have to be on a chain during the day.

I am thinking... (9 am) I don't know what I want to do. I could clean at the house for Beth. but I don't know where to put things. I don't want to start laundry because it's noisy and she's sleeping right now. (9 pm), All in all, things are going good. We may have to clean it, but Beth has a nice place to stay. The dogs are welcomed and we are trying to help her train Molly as well.

I am thankful for... (9 am) cell phones. I was able to text Beth that "Dad" was running a bit late. We didn't wake up until 7 am. Which is time to pick her up, not leave the house. That way she didn't have to worry that something may have happend to him on his way to get her. It was still dark when he left and I walked the dogs after he left.
(9 pm), My children. Each one has been very good in offering to help us in some way or another.

　

From the kitchen... (9 am) not sure yet. We had hot dogs, mashed potatoes and green beans last night. Maybe I can put together that lagzana Beth wants for supper, tonight for her. (9 pm). yes, We fixed the lazanga for dinner along with some rolls. I really should have eaten earlier but since my sugar was higher than usual, I'm doing ok. Can't help what Beth's schedual is like.

I am wearing... (9 am) gray sweats and my Reble tshirt that has a horse on it.

I am reading...(9 am) emails and old recipes in a notebook (9 pm) still reading emails.

I am hoping... (9 am) That Jerry will get a phone call on a job today. (9 pm) Jerry gets a phone call tomorrow. George said he would call either Tuesday or Wendsday, and since he didn't call today, hope for that call tomorrow (praying for it)

I am creating... (9 am) a mess. well not really but I'm no making any thing either at this time.

I am hearing... (9 am) the fan on the comptuer. (9 pm) the rain outside

Around the house... (9 am) Keeping it quiet so Beth can rest. I did up the dishes and have more to go, as soon as we eat. The meal is cooked, now we just have to sit and eat. Jerry is fixing the rolls.

One of my favorite things...(9 am) Eating Lunch with my Friend Vicky. We enjoy going to the Pekin in town and talking. I think we end up doing more talking than eating, if that's possible.

(9 pm) is hearing Jerry snoring. I know he's needing the rest he's getting here.

A few plans for the rest of the week... (9 am) straigthen up the back of the van, and repack it for more room.
