When you work 10-15 hours a day....

When you work 10-15 hours a day for almost a month....

You forget what real traffic is like.

Your flower beds get taken over by grass and weeds.

Your hubby says "I've missed you."

You forget what a treat it is to get home and be able to enjoy the patio. (Remember, I am TERRIFIED of the dark, so when I get home late, I RUN into the house)

You realize that summer tv is not worth a flip.

You miss a day or two posting on your blog.

You have sore feet from running around the office, which has very thin carpet and no pad at all.

And you realize that your post a few weeks ago, about slowing down, enjoying life and not working all the time just went to sh*t.....

Oh, and when you get home, eat and go to bed, you gain ten MORE pounds....I am going to have to visit Jenny Craig and start exercising again. After my feet stop being sore!

XOXO,
Pam

P.S. Mom, hope you and Aunt Barbara are having fun...only a short while longer and your home to Texas.

Tax credit?

Not sure Obama thought about the effect of the Tax Credit on those of us in the Mortgage business......let's just say I'm proud to have lived thru it! Not even going to count the number of hours spent in the office in the past couple of weeks. Tomorrow I SHALL be home on time...

Update over the past couple of days. Chelsey DID get her license...NOT Monday, she failed to yield in one spot and ummm.... failed. She can parallel park, but can't yield. Tuesday she returned, after being BEYOND mad Monday, and passes......I'll just have to remind her of those triangle signs.

Colby is working out every morning and I think it's kicking his butt, because he's home tonight and already in bed.

Danny has mowed today. Sounds like such a simple task, but we have a LOT of grass....when I got home, he had tears rolling, from allergies...

Glad June is over, bring on July!!!!

Dang it's HOT!!!

I shall give up my traditional orange text color for RED today. Dang it's hot. Have been in the house all day, except to run to the grocery store. I hate cold weather, so I shall not complain about 100 degrees.

Can't believe June is almost behind us. The kids will be back in school before we know it. And best of all FOOTBALL will begin again. Everyone in the town starts talking about the upcoming season, as soon as school is out.

Have had a house of teens today....least they are all here and not out in trouble someplace! One of them just asked Danny if he'd moved from his chair all day. I refrained from answering for him.

XOXO,
Pam

P.S. Chelsey gets her license tomorrow, if she can parallel park that is. Wonder why on earth they still have that as part of the driving test? Gosh knows it's a rarity these days to park that way.

Choctaw run

Made a run to Choctaw tonight....that place is WAY to close to our house. Danny and I made it there in 49 minutes. Amazing when all the road construction is completed, just how fast the trip is. And NO, didn't win, but enjoyed it as always.

Colby at Tylers. Lauren here with Chelsey. Everyone one is safe and sound!

A week full of "ifs"

We've had quite the week here at the Fenter Funny Farm. First, let me state that NO ONE was injured..... And the run down is....

IF PaPa Danny let's two certain little boys ride the Kubota's...they might just roll one of them on it's side.

IF a certain son drives 45 mph down a white rock road....he might slide and gently smack a tree.

IF a certain daughter and her boyfriend have a disagreement and said boyfriend throws keys into daughter's jeep....they might bust the covering in the dash that goes over the speedometer and gauges.

IF you look at our youngest daughters FB profile....you might see "is no longer in a relationship" and then check out the boyfriends...you might see the same thing.

IF that same daughter goes job hunting with a friend and the friend gets stopped for speeding (60 in a 45) and said daughter has her feet up in the seat....the cop might chew her up over it.

IF you arrive at my office before 6am...you MIGHT get soaked by the sprinklers shockingly coming on at the moment you get near the building.

IF you receive a picture via text of a beautiful beach...it MIGHT be your Aunt and Mom taunting you.

IF one arrives home on Thursday afternoon, to an empty house....someone must have forgotten to tell you about your youngest grandson's birthday party.

IF we have another week like this, Carla and Paul are taking the kids and I'll pay child support.....

IF you are smiling at this point, I'm glad someone is....because I am not.

Happy Friday to everyone.....

Pam

Tired...

Tonight, I've got nothing. I think my full day Sunday including the entire afternoon out at the pool have officially kicked my butt. Off to bed early tonight.

Mom, I hope you are having a great time! Megan, I LOVE the picture of Jeff and Hayden at the beach and the story about the book will always be very special to you. Carla, I LOVE you.... And to anyone else visiting our blog, night night, I'm off for the night.

A great Father's Day...

Father's Day 2010 is coming to an end, and although it is a day for the guys, I too had a great time! Up at a little before six this morning, shower and hit the road to Emory to take Daddy to breakfast. After eating at Chubby's, we went to his buddy Tazz's house (what a character!) for Katalva (okay it's not spelled right, but that's how we say it!) Worms. Tazz had a few as his house, then we went to another house on Ravine Street for more. He climbed the tree and shook it. We got showered with worm poop and worms....

Here's one of the trees that did NOT have worms,

but at least we found others with lots to knock down with a fishing pole.
I think this picture made Carla squirm a bit!

I bagged up 141 worms (this is only 50) in corn meal.

We'll see if they really do go "dormant" and come back

to life when I thaw them out from the freezer.

Can't wait to fish with them!

After our great worm hunt, we went to the Woosley Cemetery

to place flowers at Douglas' grave. Miss you Doe!
Afterwards we stopped and saw Uncle Raymond and Aunt Sharon

for a few minutes. Still can't believe Jeff, Megan and Hayden's house,

very sad to see all their stuff outside, but glad they are all safe!

After leaving there, we headed to Lone Oak, so that Daddy could drive Mom's

car home from Aunt Barbara and Gary's house.

Had a great time with you Daddy....we'll do it again sometime.

Happy Father's Day, love you!

Drove back to Celina, to spend the day with Danny, Colby, Chelsey,
Ashley, Tazz, Colton, Dylan, Asa and Dallas.
Great day for burgers, margaritas, and sunning in the pool.

I'd say it was a great Father's Day....

XOXO, Pam
