Sitting at a red light tonight....and all of a sudden BAM! I am fine. Car is okay, except a cracked bumper but DANG did it scare the crap out of me. I pulled over and the guy jumped out to see if I was okay....we drove to a place OUT of traffic, unlike how most people do, and I got all his info. It's a guy from Prosper with boy/girl twins that are 15. I asked if he wanted to do insurance or what. He said he'd like to try without insurance...that's what brought up the twins...... Just glad we were both okay!
Busy Monday, with a clean desk to start out. I actually left it fairly straight. Had I left one minute earlier or later...I wouldn't have a cracked bumper!
Thunder and lightening at this moment. Duke is inside his new dog house with his blanket. Danny thinks he looks sad.....
Off to do dishes. Love to all!

One win- One loss
So, Rangers to the World Series. Cowboys to the locker room with another loss. Brady, Brady, Brady. Trying to decide of I am going to convert to the Patriots or Packers. Cowboys are sure trying my fan patience.
Duke is home with us now. He's sitting here beside me watching the lights of cars go by. Not a single bark yet. Hope he stays quiet all night.
So, my weekend check list included a Halloween wreath for the front door (forgot to get a hanger!). Go to the office and clean up my desk. Watch the Rangers and Cowboys. Do laundry. Buy new black and brown shoes for work. Clean the house. Get Danny a surprise (a pair of Crocs) get Dolby a couple of pair of new jeans. All this got done.....BUT never made it to the other house. Next weekend we gotta bust a move cleaning that one out! Danny moved a few more of his clothes and got the hair clippers that I have forgotten numerous times.
My little friends from the football game, Scott who is 2 and Eli who is 4 (they have season tickets right next to us, and are new in town) asked if my son was " the fuzzy headed one" so we HAD to have the clippers. Scott, Eli and I ate nachos together at the first home game. Friday night we had Cheetos. Eli brought me a candy necklace from home. They are precious....and sit right beside me and jump up every time I do to yell. It's kinda like babysitting with the parents right behind me! They also know about Chelsey, and every blonde that walks by, they ask if that is her. So stinking cute!
Off to fold the last load of laundry and take my sleeping pills. Night all, have a good week and please pray that Duke doesn't bark all night...

Another win!
35-0 over Anna....great game. Only a couple more left. Senior Night is coming.
And Carla, not sure what the heck Collin County or the potential buyer thought....I havenever, in the 7 years we have owned the property seen a fence up THRU the lake stopping anyone from using it. Just baffles me.....
Gotta put a major dent in cleaning that place up and emptying the house this weekend. Also have to watch the Rangers and Cowboys and go out to the office and find my desk again. Gonna be a busy weekend!
Have a good one all... OH Megan, did you see the John Deere tractor footprint picture on Pinterest? Hayden would love it....

3-2= the first 1
Well.....we haven't made it to three offers yet....the couple willing to pay "more" called Collin County about the lake and were told they would not have access to the whole lake. So, they are no longer interested. Collin County cost us a buyer...with an incorrect statement. The cash buyer wants to wait to see if the first buyers go thru. So...we are back to one contract. Better than none I guess.
Busy week...working with an additional team now. I have FOUR instead of my original one. Bring on the challenge....I just have to figure out how to get home before 9pm...
Danny worked until after 1am this morning. Big "spill" on Highway 5. They had to shut the road down. Evacuate for a little while...not let anyone go to their homes...not fun. He's now fast asleep, since he had to get right back up this morning and leave at 6.
Chelsey is at a hockey game with Nick (cutie from Prosper) and Colby is laid up in his bed watching tv. My buddy Sharon's husband came and hung our new ceiling fans today. Colby is mad that his does not have a remote like the one in our master bedroom. I didn't even know it had one...but it is pretty neat. He said he laid in our bed and tried out all the speeds. He recommended medium or low, because it got a little cold when on high. LOL. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall as he tried it out. LOL.
Tank and Lily are trying out Duke's new dog house....he's not with us yet, but we hope to move him this weekend. Also hope he doesn't bark all night....we do not want to be "the neighbors with THAT dog".
As I sit typing this all is fairly quiet in the neighborhood. Not much traffic tonight. Football tomorrow night. Home game, so not much scramble to make it to another town.
Happy almost Friday (except my lucky sister....who gets Friday a day early).

Yes...clean AGAIN!
ruts are going to have to wait. I stomped on as many as I could. Chelsey helped me early and Colby! Tyler and Jamarick helped me on the second trip.
Tired now....
PK
Tired now....
PK
A BIG thanks....
A BIG thank you to whomever had a small party on our other house on the patio and drove thru the yard, leaving ruts. If I find out who it was, I shall make sure you do not do it again. Mama Bear is fierce about this one folks....just try me.
On another note, we have a 2nd offer in the works, on the house. It will be a back up. The couple wants their Realtor to do a walk thru tomorrow at 2:30pm, before they write the contract. Soooooo....I have to somehow get rid of the ruts in less than 24 hours. Nice way to spend my day off.
One more load of laundry then I go back out and play in the mud again.
Signed,
Mama Bear

T G I F!
Thank goodness it's Friday and a long weekend for the kids and I. Holiday Monday, but not for Danny. He gets all these other crazy Holidays but not this one.
Had someone look at the house yesterday....we may get a 2nd contract. A year and a half without one and now maybe two. Good grief! Had to clean Wednesday night in a frenzy...got it presentable in an hour and 20 minutes. Had Danny running around cleaning with me. Was actually comical, now that I think back. He kept saying "it looks okay" and I'd stop and shoot him "that look" and he'd keep straightening.
Tonight is football again Hope Colby plays. Sad to see him stand on the sidelines the whole game. He's HATES it! He's been on the sidelines since the second game where his holding penalty got a TD called back. Welcome to Celina football...
Chelsey is happy now that we have direct tv again. Me too for that matter.
Challenges remaining are: a shower head that shoots water everywhere. A thermostat with a mind of it's own. And no ceiling fans in our bedrooms. Planning to fix all that this weekend. Also figure out our house phone. Appears at and t does not service this neighborhood. You'd think they would have told me that when I moved the phone. Oh and that dang at and t Internet box...all shall be fixed by Monday, since I will have time to work on each one.
Got a new team added to my responsibilities yesterday at work. 5 of them do not want to be under me. Today we shall meet to I can find out why and work to fix that.
Off to dry my hair and dress for another busy day. I shall get a nap or two this weekend....it's been a while and is much needed.
Have a great weekend all!
