I cannot believe it has been nearly a month since my last post. There has been a lot going on around here and then by the time I get a minute to get to the computer, I am not in the mood...August 16 was Allyssa's back to school night. Her first day of school was August 20. She was all excited about going back to school, first grade. She had all new books so she had to look through all of them before we could move on to something else. There was only one other classmate from her K-5 class in this class with her. And they were sitting facing each other. Her teacher changes the seating arrangements every 2-3 weeks to get everybody accustomed to each other. I cannot believe she is in 1st grade now. Dakota is enjoying riding Allyssa's tricycle. Of course, she cannot figure out pushing the pedals. I was pushing her around.
The weather has "cooled" down a bit to the 80's. We have had some rain but not enough to make up the deficit that we have. Grass gets cut about every 2 weeks since it has not been growing.
Hanzo is nearly the size of a full grown dog at only 6 months. I don't have a recent picture showing how big he actually is, will try to get one.
Natasha, Randy and the girls have moved back to Travelers Rest which is a good thing. I think Allyssa is actually getting to school ON TIME now. Bless her heart. Gateway Elementary where Allyssa goes has been attended by Natasha, Nick, and my sister's 2 children Asheton and Zachary plus Deborah has been working there since Zach started elementary school (I think) and he is now a junior in high school. So the teachers that are still there and haven't retired remember all of us and take care of Allyssa. It is like she has all these angels watching over her while she is at school. Which makes me feel very good. They are like family. When we went to back to school night, Natasha, the girls and I were standing in line so Natasha could get the car tags that has a number they call out when you pick your child up. When we got to the table Marcy Bunch and her husband were giving the tags out and they were telling us how Allyssa would come in late last year and tell them, "it is my mom's fault that i am late"! because Allyssa hardly every got there on time!!! They are get a kick out of Allyssa coming in there with her silly antics. She is such a sweetie.
I am still working beside demon seed at work, but it is getting to were I don't really realize she is there until she gets in the mood to start talking loud trying to tell everybody how to do there job and no she is not the supervisor. I just do my job and leave at 3:30 p.m. Our work has been slow but suppose to be picking up now.
Mom had to have surgery this past wednesday, the 29th. She had 2 hernias removed and needless to say she has been pretty sore. She stayed overnight in the hospital and then came home on Thursday around 3:30. She is doing better daily but cannot pick up anything over 5 lbs. for SIX WEEKS. Do you know how hard that is going to be for her? She and I are just alike and neither one of us like to have to depend on someone else to do something for us. Why are we like that...you know women have a lot on them now days.
Natasha and her pregnancy is moving right along. Due date is still December 25. She had an ultrasound and this one is a girl also. 3 girls what a delight! You can dress little girls up so pretty and dainty. Although Natasha don't take too much time dressing them up too girly!
Well, I have blabbed long enough, tried to catch up on somethings but I am sure I have forgotten somethings.
Later...................
