Well, Jim and his family headed home today. It's a bit harder each time. I don't know when I'll see them next. Monkey is growing so fast, and they change so quickly at that age. Jim was funny as usual, and helped me with some networking issues here at the homestead. I really enjoyed their visit.
Today was mom's birthday. Once again, an important date came at a time when money was a bit tight. I got her one of her favorite treats (Russell Stover chocolates) and a card, and even warned the girls not to ask for any. Still, though, I wish I could do more. She has done so much for me over the past 36 years, and still does things for my family today. She's a predictable and solid part of my life. I love you mom.
It's so awesome to have the girls home. We eat dinner around the table together, and we're falling back into our routine. Monica made her room into a beauty salon, and I was her first client. She fixed my hair quite nicely tonight, and it was FREE! She didn't charge, since I was her first appointment. She says she went to beauty school for 5 years, and the talent shows. I guess she started when she was 4! LOL She has always played these games, and it's a lot of fun.
Big Brother started tonight. Another can't-miss reality show. I think it's gonna be a good one. It's on three times a week, but it doesn't start that way. I have to wait another week for the next episode, but after that, it'll get into it's groove. I haven't been hooked on a show since the summer rerun season started. It's good to have a reason to rush home and rush dinner! How sad.
This weekend, I plan to ride my horse early, before the heat sets in. I can't do that during the week, since it would mean waking the girls too early. I also plan to weed the flower beds a lot, and get the girls tomato plants in the ground. They've been in pots since Grammy helped them get started. I think I'll have Grandpa hook us up with a couple of tomato cages, and do it up right.
That's all for tonight. Work is crazy busy, and I'm exhausted. I'm content and blessed, just a bit on the reflective side tonight.

If you're gonna ride early... don't come near the house. Saturday morning, you know.
It was amazing to me how our money always ran out just at Mother's Day and Father's day as well as thier birthdays. We always seemed to have enough until those days rolled around. Being a Mother I know that it really is the thought that counts. I don't want my children spending money they don't have on me. I'm sure your Mom feels the same way. She's a great lady.
I missed the first 30 min. of big brother, can you believe that. It was the important first 30 min. too.
Glad you are having an "up" sort of week. And I hope you get to have a good, long, nice ride this weekend. - Barbara
So glad you are loving your home.
