cold and windy

It is a cold and windy day in southern Delaware. But the sun is shinning so that helps. Yesterday was report card day. The oldest son still does not care. The youngest son did OK but still not great, considering I pay for a tutor every week. My gorlfriend is coming down this week, to visit and stay with the chirldren while we go to a wedding in new castle. it should be fun. I just got off the phone with the cell phone company I talk to them every month when the bill comes out. People who do not check their bill and just pay it are getting ripped off because every month I find at least 20.00 in charges that should not be there. Also today I have sent e-mails to best buy for ripping me off via a gift card that was suppose to be 50.00 and was only 20.00. Of course they said go back to the store which I have already done so I will just keep e-mailing them until they get tired of me and give me another 30 dollars. I guess this is why my children are a pain in the butt because their mother can be also.

settlement

My man just called and we have a settlement date a final date. The date that I will leave the only home I have ever known in my married life. Our first married home. The home with all our Christmas trees are planted in the front yard. The home with my lilac bush that grows sideways. The home were our children first lived. The home were Nicky our fisrt dog is buried. The home were all of our family gatherings were held. The home were all the pool parties were. The home were Elvis drowned in our pool. The home that we got snowed in at, several times. The home were my goddaughter first wet my bed. The home were I cooked my first dinner. and the home were my man and i did------in front of the fireplace. The home were I always ran in to the garage wall because I could never judge the distance correctly while parking the car. The home were Stefanie first came into our lives. The home were the mice would try to live at in the winter. The home with so much storage space, and the coolest laundrey room. The home with sleepless nights because our children were up all night. The home with the nicest yard in the neighborhood. The home with my weeping cherry tree, a mothers day gift from my children. I could go on forever but just know it is a home that has a lot of love in it. 25 years worth of it. I will miss our home in PA it was the best.

Frost is on the Pumpkin

Well we all know what that means. Yes it did frost in the great state of Delaware this weekend. We had to turn the heat on. Well my husband and children did I would still have the windows open if it was up to me. because I'm always hot. It was a busy weekend. Moving things and we had visitors for the weekend. It is suppose to get warm here by Thursday in the 70's yea. Maybe a beach day.

coach

This is a raw breed of human. Especially if the coach is a male. My son's football coach is about to get on my B list. He thinks that he can over rule me (a parent) when it comes to benching a player who's grades are not up to standards. He told my son that he will only play him if he needs too. I have instructed that he not play until his grades are improved. He told my son to tell me that if i need you yell at him for playing my son, well then so be it. Spoken like a true male egotistic, what female is going to tell me what to do IDIOT. Now I have already spoken to the VP at the school about this coach. he told me that he is a little shallow!! Yea tell me something i don't know. So now what I'm I as a parent suppose to do? I would love to wave my magic wand and banish this person from the earth, but I'm all out or magic these days. Also the team is not the good. They try hard but AGAIN the coach is not very good. This guy is so out of shape i could probably beat him in a race. So not only is his brain out of shape so is his body. So i will go sleep on this and try to come up with some logic to the male coach species.

Last Day of summer

What a great day in the mid 80's. Too bad for me I didn't get to go to the beach, the day just got away from me. But i did get to go to the OC boardwalk yesterday and that was a good time it was nice weather yesterday also. We go home to PA this weekend for a few things. But after this weekend it will be Thanksgiving until we get home again. I have dinner in the oven James is cuttting the grass and Matthew is at football practice. And the body is up and about. I wish this weather would stay all winter long. That's why I need to live in mexico when the kids are in college.
