Happy Tuesday...

Hello to all!

Dang, is it Friday yet? Mom used to say "don't wish your life away." But....Friday might be worth it!

A few updates. I got a promotion! Very excited to start my new position effective Friday. Hired my replacement today, very excited about her joining the team. And what were all my emails today? Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Oh well, time to make it "bigger, better and faster..."

I'm the only one not "down for the count" at our house tonight. Everyone else already kissed me goodnight and closed their bedroom door.... It's not even 9pm!

Happy for you Carla....and yes, welcome home from vacation Morgan, welcome home! Barbara, you'll have to tell me which book your puzzled about. Megan, just how big is the wall for your plate collection? Aunt Sharon, I'll bet your really enjoying Hayden, he's so darn cute. Mom, I hope you and Daddy are feeling better...the weather change has probably not help you at all, but gosh I'm glad it's actually tolerable outside of recent.

Paul....thank you for just being you.

Love to all,
PK

Full circle....

I've gone full circle......1980 i had a VW Bug (tan to be exact), today....I have a VW CC (white to be exact), LOL....and I love it! Photos to follow.

Kenny Chesney? Really?

Yes...Kenny Chesney...he showed up today at the Celina Pep Rally. I got to see the Escalade he came in, that's it... Below is a picture of him in an orange baseball cap, in the gym, talking to the crowd......and why was I there? Well....

Ring ring...goes my cell phone at 10:40am, it says Celina High School, UGH, goes my stomach....it's the school nurse. Colby has signs of a concussion from a pretty good hit last night. I spent a few minutes scrambling with files that were closing NOW, bolt out and fly to Celina...get him from school, fly to Presbyterian Hospital in Plano....CAT Scan, and all is okay, thank goodness...on way back, our phones are blowing up with text, rumor is, Kenny was in Celina, I punch it, get to Prosper and get stuck behind a HUGE tractor, 15 mph for several miles, PASS finally, keep flying North....get to the school, jump out to see if I can even catch a glimpse, someone tells me "it's over" so I get back in the car and fly back to Lewisville, and make it at 3:50pm, for a 4pm interview. No one, and I repeat no one, would have wanted to make that flying trip with me today. Boys won, in Paris 52-30. I hear Dallas and Keller had a great game. I got home from work at 10:30pm..and am still wound up tight. Think I'll take my knock out pills and hit the bed.

Was you day as exciting as mine? Kenny Chesney? Really? Yes.... Concussion? Really? Thanks goodness NO.... :-)

It's all clean, mowed and beautiful!

Starbucks, CHECK, house cleaned, CHECK, back patio cleaned, CHECK, kids bribed to clean their rooms and bathroom, CHECK, yard mowed and what seems like half the other 33 acres, CHECK..... Danny was a BIT dirty afterward... I, yet again, mowed with the push mower, and my behind is telling me about it as I sit here updating. I'll be sore tomorrow, no doubt....
We started at 9:30am and stopped at 4pm, just in time to shower and leave, so the Realtor could bring someone over to see the house. We got back at 7pm, and they were just leaving. Andy said that the wife didn't like the house, but the husband did and liked the land, said he'd tear down the barn/garage, because it's too close to the house and build up on the hill, which was our original plan. As soon as he said "wife didn't like" I thought CRAP, but then he said she didn't like the last house they bought either....ended up re-doing the whole thing. We'll see if we get an offer, they have a house to sell as well. Finger's crossed!

I'm too tired for anything else....Cowboys got beat, Lily's beat, Danny has already been snoring in his recliner....think I'll go join him. XOXO, Pam

Another busy Saturday....

Good morning! Saturday is now behind us, and what a busy one it was. Up and out for mani/pedi, ran into one shop and blasted home to get ready to head to Emory for Danny's class reunion, or shall I say multi class reunion. It was a decade reunion for the 70's. Saw a few people that I recognized, and many on the memorial presentation for those that have passed away. Amazing how many Danny were directly impacted by.....Susan Drake (June 28th was 20 years, a day I shall never forget), Pauline Luckett, Lillard Mays, Chester and Lester Thompson, David Stafford and Joe Bob Hughey..... Had a great time with Karen and Carla people watching. This is Danny's class in attendance......
I can tell you Rusty Armstrong, Jimmy Spinks....Nelda and Nelda, Mickey Cooper, after that, I'm not sure. And no, I wasn't the youngest wife! Carla Weddle got me on that one.

We stopped by Mom and Daddy's house for a few minutes, before heading west. We briefly discussed going to the fair, but within seconds decided it was TOO hot... Stopped in Greenville for steak, and after an hour wait, we got them. From there we visited the Ray's in Cash. Home a little after 10pm. The kids stayed home all day, but were gone when we got home.....

Today, what to do? Mow and clean....house is showing between 5 and 7pm. But first, Danny and I are off to Starbucks! Have a great Sunday all....and now that we've been to the reunion, I know who a few of the blog visitors are, GREAT to see you Karen.....take care. Pam

Happy Saturday...

Up at 6am...why oh why can't I sleep late..... Must be because I do not want to miss a minute of the weekend. Stayed home last night, just Lily and I. Have to do that sometimes...just so I can use the remote control. Celina stomped Melissa 40-0. 4-0 so far. Busy week at work. Danny survived week one. Colby and Chelsey didn't miss us much, I think. Today, need to do Manicure/pedicure, but probably will not happen, since Danny and I are going to his 70's class reunion later. Wonder if I will be the youngest wife? Probably not...but a girl can dream! LOL. I need to figure out how to post in orange again....iPad is still a mystery on some things.

Not much else to say....love to all. PK

Danny might not grin over this post....

Four days into working again....tonights conversation on the way home from Colby's Game (they won 52 to 0 by the way)! Danny and I talk about.....the state picking up dead animals, cleaning up after wrecks (if there is anything on the road such as fuel), and how and where they bury things. Then we turn into our drive way and he says DANG, only one day off this weekend and I have to mow. I said WELCOME to my world babe.... Have had to pop his blisters this week, get lotion for his chapped legs and ask if he is sure he doesn't need sun screen. He wouldn't let me take his picture on Monday...with his lunch box. He leaves early, so he can get a good parking spot. All this makes me smile.....I think he's missing his time at home!

Called on Chelsey's ticket and she has to appear in court.....they must do this, so a judge can scare the crap out of them about speeding. A parent has to go too...guess that will be me, since Danny has not time off yet.

Joy, joy at the Fenter Funny Farm....football tomorrow night, 70's reunion with Danny Saturday and probably be pushing a mower Sunday, again, joy, joy....

Love to all, and Daddy, I hope you are feeling better! Love u!
