Life In The Fast Lane

There is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done....LOL This month was busy for all of us....with me working, birthday parties and homework! The kids are doing well in school. The kids are on a routine...which helps with getting ready in the morning and going to bed at night. I am looking forward to FALL.....turning leaves, cooler weather, the holidays.....I love everything about it!

I went to a scrap convention over the weekend. It was a nice break from all the chaos that I endure on a weekly basis. :) I was able to compete 15 LO's...which was awesome because I am almost caught up for the year......my goal is to be completed and caught up before Halloween.

I met some ladies from Thibodaux (Vera, Megan, and Mandy) while at Scrapfest. We were all sitting at the same table. They were so nice and helpful. I plan to go scrap one Sat with them at Scrapalicious in Thibodaux. Maybe we can even catch up with each other at another convention sometime.


ETA: Its been one year since I lost a friend of mine from nursing school...her name was Brandy Corkern. She was a wife and mother of 2. I still think about her and miss her alot. She would have been a great nurse, if GOD had not called her home. I will never forget her or the kind person she was!! R.I.P Brandy....we will see each other again someday!!!

Recovering from Gustav

We weathered the storm ok. We were without power for 5 days....but was able to manage quite well since some stores were still able to stay up and running with generators. I was able to continue to work as usual so the money didnt stop.....LOL!! Keith was able to return to work on Friday.....so things are getting back to 'normal'.

School started back today for the kids......a little hard to get them going in the AM....but they will get back into routine soon.

Talked to Chelsea over the weekend....she is doing good in school. She says she has 'a' averages in all classes. I am so proud of her!! I told her to enjoy it....because these were her last 4 years..... (so hard to believe) She sounds so happy......I hope she has finally found her true 'belonging'. It makes me happy.....when I know that she is happy!!!

Work is great.....I really enojoy being able to make a difference in someones life. There has been so many times that I wondered if I chose the right career......and it has became apparently clear that I was meant to be a NURSE!!

Coby's 4th Birthday Party

Coby had his bday party at The Fun Farm. He has asked me all week if it was time for his birthday party? He chose Mickey as the theme.....he was cute wearing his mickey ears!! Oh how they grow up fast.

Well thats all the parties for the year!! Keith's bday is Wednesday but I have to work so we will do something this weekend!!

Next up is CHRISTMAS...........:)
