A whole lot of shaking going on...
Follow the link to read about the Earth quake that we felt in parts of South Texas this morning...
I was outside at the time but didn't feel a thing...
A big COLD splash and it was over...
Michael said NO more swimming until next summer!!!
I asked Michael if he would go in the pool and get the thermometer which was on the bottom of the pool, I forgot to mention how cold the water was, oops! (I can't get my foot wet right now but I've been wanting to know what the temp. is in the pool...) I told him don't touch the water just jump in, he did, ekk!!
And then he swam straight back to the ladder and said "No way Mom, NO WAY!!" I finally talked him into jumping back in and grabbing the thermometer but he said he would NOT be swimming again until next summer!! Can't say as I blame him the pool was a bone chilling 70 degrees F. !!!A Phone call...
I received a Phone call from my Grandmother today. I haven't heard from her in years, not since I decided to speak my peace years ago and it was not taken well by certain family members. I was in shock when I saw the Caller ID and who it was I picked the phone right up. I love my Grandmother and always have but I don't like to upset her so I don't call her. She told me it was time to admit that I was wrong about my beliefs and accusations...I tried to tell her that what was in the past is done and over with there is no changing it. I can have my opinions but it is not for me to judge anyone that is Gods job. She apologized for calling and hung up, ugh!! I do so love her but no matter what I say I can't make her happy and it frustrates me beyond belief.
My question is why can people not let go of the past and live in the here and now!! Why can't we all just get along and stop worrying about the past? Family is about sticking together no matter what opinions are voiced, it's called Love! We forgive, forget and move on...
Be Happy and Love one another!!

This week so far...
Once again no photos. I've had the camera out a few times but got side-tracked and didn't get any photos! Actually there was never (in my opinion) anything interesting to take a photo of...
Michael decided to jump off the top bunk of his bunk bed Sunday evening, not sure what he was thinking or even if he was thinking when he did it. Thank goodness nothing was broken, just a bruised heel. He has crutches, which he hates using, and a wrap and brace, which I am making him wear. This morning I caught him walking on it even though he winced a few times. Kids sure do bounce back quickly, thank goodness.
We had a Northern (cold front) blow in and the pool is too cold to go swimming, sigh! I'm debating the pros and cons of either a solar cover (only warms it 10 degrees warmer) or a wet suit (I'm the only one crazy enough to be swimming right now)...probably going to go with the wet suit...I so do love to swim and I'm missing it right now. Fred told me to toughen up and dive in, Ha! I'd like to see him do it!!
I've tried riding the bike but we have a lot of HUGE gravel trucks going down our main road, bringing in gravel for the new bridge being constructed and I'm not fond of sharing the road with them. It just hasn't been a productive last few days when it comes to getting out around here and exercising. Our electric company also has tree trimming crews out here and I am not comfortable walking around them either...
Halloween is just around the corner and Mr. Michael decided he wanted to be "Starscream" a decepticon transformer, yikes! I googled it and found a few home made costumes and I'm not sure I'm up to it. He then told me he'd be an Army man. I told him you were an Army man last year and he said "No Mom, I was a MARINE"....ekk I need to keep that straight! I asked him instead of dressing up and going trick or treating if we could go to the book store and I would buy him 2 books, his choice! He said "No"...sigh I tried! So as of yet not sure what his costume will be, still working on it!
That's pretty much our week so far...How has your week been going?
