197.6 miles round trip

Winnsboro is just under 200 miles round trip....made it there and back today. Great to see Paul, Carla, Morgan and Dylan. Enjoyed a great day of shopping...wish Chelsey and I could have stayed longer, BUT heaven forbid that we miss Dallas coming over. He better arrive in the next few minutes...or I shall go looking for him.

Thanks for a great day Carla, love u! Pam

P.S. Mom and Dad, Chelsey was ready to come home and I was a little nervous about hitting a deer, so we came home thru Sulphur Springs....we'll catch you one day soon!

Playoffs Round One!

Celina 49 Sanger 7......to the person in the Dallas Morning News that predicted Celina to lose by 2......take that!!! Next up? Lovejoy. Bring it on.... Dang it was cold tonight. Wind blowing. Mist blowing. Brrrrrrr. Glad to be home in my sweats!

Going to visit Carla, Paul and Morgan tomorrow in Pecan Gap....or is it Yantis? Um, no I think it's Winnsborro...can't wait.

Off to my warm bed.

I should be sleeping, but...

Not sure what the deal is tonight...wide awake here at 11pm. Not a good thing for my staff tomorrow....cranky by end of day I am sure.

Colby and I went to Taco Bell in Anna tonight, while Danny and Chelsey had dinner with Ashley and family. She cooked! I believe all enjoyed.....Ashley, thanks for the text....can't wait to cook with you again for Thanksgiving. Nothing like cooking and drinking vodka half the night. It's a tradition that we both really enjoy!

Lily is snoring, the dryer is roaring and I should be snoozing....lights out! G'night all..PK

Catching up from the weekend...

Friday night...Celina 58 Commerce 0. District champs! Playoffs begin Friday night in Denton. Game on....

Saturday, ran around with Chelsey for a bit. Home and then to dinner with Danny. Stopped at Roadhouse - too many people waiting, off to Saltgrass - one hour wait (I don't think so!). Finally wound up at Rockfish... Was told 30 minute wait, but actually only took about 10. Stopped by and visited with Ashley and Taz....neither grandson was home. Maybe one night we'll catch them both at home!

Sunday...cooked....then off to the Gaylord Texan with some guys and gals from work....2 of which had just flown in from Green Bay...yes, they grinned (and cheered, and strutted, and rubbed in every score) thru the entire Cowboys game....home at midnight, then up and to work today. Needless to say, I am a bit tired tonight.

And to Carla....you are correct, you almost killed me with a baton...not a bat, how could I have forgotten! Glad you had a great birthday...your present is on the counter here...will either mail it or save for when we see each other again.

Off to watch tv and bed soon...this time change stinks......I think it got dark at 4pm...I'll not be seeing daylight until spring!

Night night...
Pam

Ohhhhh, and for those wondering, I think it's over with D and Chelsey.... She WAY better with it this week than last, thank goodness.

Something in common

Carla....we have something in common tonight...I am home alone too. Well me and Billy Bat Ass (the bat by the back door) that is. Damn what a long week....TGIF

And now, dedicated to my beautiful sister, before she turns FORTY in just a few hours....my memories of you are as follows:

The nurses at the hospital would NOT let me see you.

I can remember when Mom and Daddy arrived home with you, pulled right into the yard, to the front porch (at the house on 35) They got out, and brought you in the house, my memory of that day has faded otherwise, except I am almost positive you had on a green sleeper. Notice I didn't mention a car seat....not even sure they had them 40 years ago.

Riding my red tricycle and your yellow and green one till the wheels probably wore off

Playing in the dirt under the cedar trees (again, in house on 35).

You throwing up if you ever had to ride in the back seat of a car

Riding in the back seat on the way to Tyler as you GRINNED at me from the front seat

Thinking you'd broken something when you hit me square in the back with a bat

Thinking Roger had killed you when he accidentally hit you right square in the head with a bat. I remember he and I grabbing you and running to the house.

Breaking a windo playing dodge ball

Cutting you heal riding a banana seat bike

You drinking Daddy's Coors from a can

Watching you play table and softball, in the heat, rain and cold....

Crying in our twin beds at night because you said you didn't have any friends

Watching our tiny black and white tv, that sat on top of our chest of drawers....why did we share a bedroom anyway? What was in the other one?

Watching you graduate from JR High and High School

Watching you walk down an isle....as I stood in a satin red dress

Thought my heart would burst when I saw you with Morgan the very first time.

Watching you struggle for a while, and then finally smiling again

Watching you walk around "the house" you wanted so bad....and then helping you move into it a month later

Watching you walk down an isle, at a hotel near the water.....thinking to myself, please let him take good care of her. (thank you Paul!)

Felt my heart hurt as you cried your eyes out, missing Morgan.

Enjoying my 45th birthday with you....at a time that you knew I needed a fun day.

Loving you for 39 years and 364 days now. And that will never end! So....even though it makes me grin, to think you are FINALLY 40....it makes me grin even bigger to know that we have each other....I love you bunches and hope that you have a fabulous birthday tomorrow!

Ahhhhhhh, the feel of Fall

Love the cooler temps. Could do without the rain. Much prefer fall/winter clothes to summer. Awards ceremony this morning, for our entire building. Had to talk on a microphone...been a while. Mama bears claws are still out, but at least she's asleep for the night. Even Colby is worried about her. Ashley as well. We'll get thru this....

Night night,
Pam

Mama bear...

Mama bear's claws are about to come out.....so if the person who is causing my baby girl all these tears just so happens to check our blog, BEWARE of Mama Bear!

Now....on a funnier note, Colby trick or treated as a GIRL. I called him Colbyetta. Priceless! He wore Chelsey's extensions, one of my dresses and was in a black pair of tights. Oh, and of course he had to "stuff.".

Nice quiet Halloween here at the FFF, Ranger game and a steak. There is something to be said for living in the country. No trick or treaters!

Happy Monday to all...I think I'll go watch the Rangers last couple of innings in the World Series.

Signed,
Mama Bear
