Girls..... That's funny that you mention dryers..... Yea, DH went in the garage last night, as I had stuff in the dryer & he was like, "What is that noise coming from the dryer?"  I told him, (we bought the front loading washer/dryer set on a bill of sale from the previous owner, when we moved in... a year & 1/2 ago) "The prior owner TOLD us that it made that noise, when we bought it, but since you never do laundry....")  <-- HA HA, had to poke fun at him!!  He gets the Kitchen chores, no joke.

Anyways, yesterday was busy, but good.  Learned some good info at the conference.  Went home and did all kinds of chores, my 86 year old gramma is coming over this afternoon to stay at our house, so, I am off work the rest of this week to visit with her.  My sister's C-Section is still scheduled for Sunday.  So.... when I post Monday... I'll be an auntie!!!  (again).  DH is going hunting on his 2 days off, still trying to get a moose.  The season is almost over.

Have a Great weekend!!!!

Well I am still feeling a bit rundown but I really think it is related to my allergies, not getting enough sleep, and my food choices for the past few days.  Definitely got to work on that.  Had a good but busy night last night.  I hit the grocery store while hubby started on laundry and yard work.  Fixed dinner & helped the youngest with a school project.  Been telling my hubby since we moved that the dryer doesn't work right, guess he didn't believe me until he used it himself so he  tore it apart in order to determine what was wrong with it.  Of course the vent line wasn't hooked up right, all the hot air was leaking out & the lint was going every where.  Looks like he got it all fixed up though.  By the time the evening was all done I dropped into bed.

Not too much planned for tonight.  I think I might just make it a relaxing evening, I think I need it.  Hope you all have a great one!

Michelle, how did dance class go??

 

Jaime, thinking about you although I am sure you have been swamped at work.

Morning!  So just to clarify, yes the ex left after dinner so I did not go to sleep with her there.  LOL.  I agree though that it is important for the girlies to see us being mature and looking out for them.  My parents & stepparents did this for ma and now I can do it for my girlies and hope that it does teach them things that they can use later in life.

My brother in law treated us to pizza last night for dinner so we all went out.  Came home & helped the oldest with her geometry and then headed off to bed.  The early night & extra rest helped but I am feeling blah today, hope I am not getting sick.  Grocery store & laundry on tap for tonight.  Probably end up with the girlies or at least the youngest for awhile tonight since she has a school project due tomorrow and their mom does not have internet.  Have a great day!!!

Court, even though your hubby's ex wife was over for dinner & it was a bit of an odd situation... I'm thinking you are comfortable enough around her & hubby together, to fall asleep (unless I read it wrong & she left after dinner?)  anyways, glad you 2 women get along.... that is ALOT for your girlies to see.... so, later on in life, they will be able to handle situations like the ones that the adults around them are in, ya know?

Michelle!!!!!!   We want a REPORT!!!!!!

My girlfriend is healing up good.  She was back at work yesterday.   The temp this morning at 6:00 is 44 degrees.  The forcast temp wise, is mid 40's at night and mid to high 50's for the day's.  So....... we are on the downhill slide now........ snow will be here in around 6 weeks.... that is NO JOKE.  That is the cold Alaska Truth. 
Hunter & I are going to go over to my sister's house tonight after I get home from work & visit with her.  Hunter LOVES his cousin Josh, and they play good together.  My sis is going in EARLY Sunday morning for her C-Section, and it is important to me to visit with her, before the baby arrives, cause she will have 4 boys, actually, 5 boys, if you count her husband in there too.  And, now, that I have actually been a mommma once, I can understand, FINALLY, what it is all about.  YOUR BABY.  Period.  So, hence tonight's visit  I Love my only sis
Tomorrow, I will probably be MIA.... going early to an EARLY meeting in Anchorage (an hour away) for work.

Have a great day, ladies!!!!

Wow, Michelle, that's neat!!!!  A baby!!!  The bocce ball game sounded like it definately went better than expected, too.

Court, hope you get a little relaxation in tonight, sounds like you are dur for a break.

My Friday went well, was winding down for the evening, and my girlifrind calles & says she needs me...... She lives out by my mom, almost an hour from my house.... so, I put on my cape & got in my car.  Turns out, since it is the fall season here.... she has a motorcycle..... that the riding of a motorcycle is very, very limited time left, to get on & ride.  Her daughter has moved into Anchorage, to go to her Freshman year of collage this year & her 2 boys (one ias 11 or 12 & the other is 6) went with their dad for the weekend, so, she was alone for the weekend, and decided to go for a ride around 6:15pm, like around 25 minutes was her plan..... she got 2 miles from her house on a 55mph road, 2 lane paved road, just taking a ride, was wearing her steel toed boots, helmet & skins (not leathers, but more protection than just a t-shirt & jeans) so, anyways...... she has oncoming traffic in the other lane.... and this HUGE white dog runs right into her lane of traffic, in front of her, she slammed on the brakes, but, she felt herself skidding, so, she released the back break, and ended up running over this big dog & killing it.  In the mean time, she & her bike go down from the impact & she slides across the pavement.  A couple people stopped, thankfully.  On guy says "What happened?" (probably thinking drinking was involved) And she says "What?  See that big dog?"   And points to it, where it had landed in the ditch.  The guys is like "Oh, wow!!!!  Glad you are OK"
So, I get my tail out to her house, she was able to get back up on her bike & make it the 2 miles home..... called everyone she knew, and could not get ahold of anyone & then called me, since I live so far away.
I get onto the road, and called her, to let her know I wanted to check on the dog, so she did not have to.  I get to the dog, it had a blue collar.... NO TAGS..... It could have had a microchip, but, I am not animal control, with one of those scanners, ya know?
So, I called to animal control, and no one was there, so I called the police, told them what happened & they said that the procedure was to call animal control & leave them a voice mail, they transferred me, and I left all of the information & exact location.

Then, got over to my girlfriend's house & she had some road rash, and a cut above her eyebrow, from the helmet impact, but she was worried about her abdomen, where she slid onit, so, off to the ER we went.  They observed her, did a blood test, and an X-Ray.... released her, and she came over & stayed with me for the night.  I live 10 minutes from the hospital door, and then she would not have to go back home for the night to an empty house.
She is feeling better, feels TERRIBLE about the dog, though.  All I could say, is that if she had left the house 10 minutes later, someone else would have hit it.

Saturday, after I took her back home, DH, Hunter & I went to my sister's to see my gramma & uncle.  My gramma is going to come over Thursday and saty with me for a few days, and in 6 days, my sister is going to have her baby.

Sorry for the novel, that was my exciting weekend, for ya!!!!
