happy fall y'all

its been a few weeks since my flu bug came and went, we had to dear ones pass, Paige has a sister set of friends (one is a sophomore and one is a senior-she rides to school with them everyday) and their mommy passed away from an aneurysm at age 46 suddenly, then heaven also took a dear fur friend of ours -almost 9yrs old - bully dog, Steph and Blake's mastiff. We pray for all daily. The economy has all with the blues, I am trying to be upbeat, worry constantly about my parents, my kids, my in laws - one of which is technically our responsibility due to his illness. Its very scary, I pray daily, find any inspiration and hold on to it for dear life, and try to laugh as often as possible :) I have found you tube to be a huge source of silliness, and inspiration at the same time. I attended my monthly MOM2MOM Monday meeting yesterday, got a great group of women at my designated table, shared food/fun/encouragement/entertainment/and more food- there you have it in a cheese ball - and a major sugar rush on pumpkin pie! I still have not taken my digital camera to the repair shop which is not here locally, so photos have been at a stand still...I have taken some photos scanned them, and reprinted for some wall groupings on the upstairs hallway, its looking really nice. Well much to say, and little time to get it all in, the gorgeous teenager is at the job, little football player is talking my ear off while I type, and the phone is ringing, we have one more little linebacker to pick up for the ride share to practice - did I mention the dog needs walked....
