Clean Garage

Yes we cleaned the garage today, and now my car is in it's rightful place. As lady of the house I should always have a warm dry car to put my goddess self in. My car sat outside last winter in this new house, because the garage was full of stuff. But that will not happen this winter. I never understood why people have garages if they don't put their cars in them. Lots of people use them as extra storage. But if you have that much stuff get a bigger house or get rid of the junk. It is still raining in lower Delaware, but according to the news we are still below normal rain fall for the year.

Rainy Day

It rained here for the first time in weeks maybe even months. It rained a little off and on all day until 4:00pm when my boys started their football game. Of course it started pouring then. At half time it started to lighting, after a delay they had to call the game, so Cape won by one point. They only have one loss this season. This Friday my children turn 15. I still can't believe it. Tomorrow we get company for the weekend. I really enjoy having friends and family here. Also this week I have to vote for Dancing with the stars to win the most entertaining reality show this week. Marie Osmond fainting on live TV was the best. I personally think she passed out because she got a look at herself in that dress:+)

Thursday

Today is another fine day in lower Delaware, the weather is in the 70's which is great. Not time for jackets and long pants yet. Today I can still wear shorts and sandals. I hate wearing a lot of clothing. Which you would think that I would like a lot of clothing to cover up my almost 50 year old fat, but I don't:+) Next week my children will turn 15, I can't believe it. It's seems like yesterday I was holding them in my arms. Sometimes life just moves too fast.

Organize

All weekend I have been re-organizing things in my home. I have a hard time understanding how things can get un-organized. I just can't seem to get a flow in this house. I guess I shouldn't get too excited since it took me 20 years to get my other house flowing. But I now have a work place for myself, a place where I can do things. Things like wrap gifts, do crafts, read books,...etc, etc, etc. Since Christmas is coming I needed somewhere to put gifts and wrap them. So I took a space and made it mine. I think I will even put a picture of "The Body" in my space. Since she is a female she will be the only other life form I will allow in the space. I will make it a females only space. Since I am putting a picture of "The Body" in my space I think I will put one of her on my blog for everyone to see:+)

Arrivial

We have a new baby. It's a boy this time Finn Maarten. He is so handsome. So last night I booked my flight to Germany to meet him. It has been raining here off and on for the past few days. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting cooler. Please winter hurry up and get here so you can leave and it can be summer again. Tomorrow the kids have off from school so it will be a work day for me.

Vacation

School in back in session and my man and I are on a 180 day vacation:+) The weather has gotten cooler in the past week. Too cool for me, but not cool enough for long pants. Jack is out working on his lawn, his goal is to have a golf course lawn. The hotel has been full this month so far. This past week was bike week in Ocean City, so all the Harley's went through town they are quite impressive riding in their packs. This cooler weather makes me sad, because I know winter is coming. I can't wait for the day when I live somewhere winter does not show it's ugly face:+)

Moving too fast

Summer is moving way to fast for me. Next weekend is Labor day. The unoffical end of summer. The time when the kids go back to school, the days get shorter, the sand gets cooler, and the beer consumtion goes down. It seems like yesterday was the beginning of summer. We had our official Beach Gang photo last week. With summer coming to a close I wonder what my retired husband and I will do this winter. Since the house additions are almost complete, we will need to find another project

Birthday month

This is a very busy month for birthday's in my family. I have a hard time keeping track of them all. The house construction is still on going. I hope with in two weeks it will be over. I feel like I say that every two weeks. The kids have six more weeks of school vacation poor me. My sisiter came to visit this weekend. We went out Friday night dancing, we had a great time. She always tells men her name is Sally. Well the next day one of those guys came out to the beach looking for her. He came up and said "Hi Sally "how are you. Well needless to say we all laughed. This weekend my girlfriend Sherry will visit. The hotel is always full. The summer weather has been great. We have been on the beach a lot on the weekends.

Busy Summer

It's been a while since I have posted. Things have been very busy in southern Delaware. My husband of 25 years and I went to Las Vegas and got remarried by Elvis. It was great. The weather was HOT.....triple digets.............A week after we left someone open fire on the casino we stayed at NY.NY. Lucky we didn't go a week later. Last week the 4th of July was great also, the weather was not so great but we still have our annual picnic on the beach, and stayed for the fireworks. My brother and his family came to visit that was nice since I don't see them often. The weather since then has been very hot in the 90's. We are still working on the house it is a never ending project. Also the dumpster police called and said we have to remove the dumspter that has been in our driveway for several months. Some people just have no life. It was full so it was time for it to go. And it was starting to smell:+( The kids were away for awhile up in PA. I missed them, but now they are back fighting I wish we could send them away again. Why is that, as parents we wish for some alone time, but then we wish they were back, and they they are we wish for some alone time again. Life is never easy. Well I think we will go to the beach for a few hours today it is going to be 96:+)

School's out

Now my work begins. 12 weeks of working, I will be counting the days, hours , minutes, and possibly seconds. One good thing is both of my sons have made it to the ninth grade. Another year closer to 18:+) The weather here in Lower Slower Delaware has been a little cool for a few days, but this weekend is suppose to be hot and hunid, just the way I like it. Jack and Matthew went to the US Open for a few days they come home today. They had a bonding session:+) They stayed with the new Mr. & Mrs. Lev while in Pittsburg. They are stopping in PA to pick up Lisa who's Jag is in Wilminton getting fixed sorry for her luck. Next thursday my man and I leave for Las Vegus it is our 25th wedding anniverary. WOW it's hard to imagine...Stefaine called from Germany yesterday, I miss then all. She gets her Dr. degree in Novemeber. Yea!!!! Then she will work anf Rene will be Mr. MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well time to get to work.

NASCAR

Now that we are Delaware residents we attended the Annual NASCAR race in Dover which is also the capital, and were I drive to if I need to shop at a mall. So Saturday we headed up north to stay with some friends for the pre-race party. Which lasted until 2:00am. Then at 6:00am it was time to get up and head to the race track. The weather was cloudy at best. But we got there, paid our 30 dollars to park in someone's yard and unloaded our grills, chairs, food, and beer. So at 7:30 am we were cooking eggs and drinking beer. Things were going pretty good until about 11:00am when mother nature decided to rain on our parade. Although we did take rain gear just in case, our gear was no match for the heavy rain that started. So heavy that the race was postponed until Monday. No one in our group could make the race on Monday so we got 3 more tickets and decided to take the boys out of school to attend. I was not originally going into watch the race, I was just going for the party. So today we made the 30 minute trip to Dover for the race. Things were going well until we got into Dover when the traffic came to a dead stop. So we missed the beginning of the race, although we did have the radio on to here"Gentlemen start your engines". So parking was free today, but we parked a million miles away, and everything was muddy from the rain. But we finally got in, sat down and watch the race. Now when you enter the bleachers you can not talk anymore because all you can hear is the very loud roar of the cars. Also by the end of the race you are covered with little pieces of black rubber from the tires. It burns off and flies up and attaches to your body. Also your ears will be ringing for hours. NASCAR fans are a different breed of people. First, all the men wear tank tops with their hairy armpits showing and their favorite driver on the front. All the women wear shorts that are threes times too small for them also with a shirt of their favorite driver. Sneakers with white socks are the prefered footwear. A cooler packed with Budwieser is attached to each one of them. And if you are a true fan you are wearing headphones attached to your mate with a reciever that is linked to the tracks announcer. PLUS some of them have mics so you can talk to your parnter. I guess that is nice for when you say "pass me a beer bitch" The kids really enjoyed the day. I also enjoyed taking in all the sites. So I guess we will have to make this an annual event.

Wedding

Well the wedding was a success. I few minor problems, but nothing that could not be fixed. The bride and groom are off on their honeymoon. That had a bumpy start for the groom(hangover). So now we are back to construction. We need to get this done....NOW....so we can start to enjoy the summer. The weather has been great. jack is finishing the dinning area, we will then paint the master and move into the master bath. That is the last room YEA......This has been a long process and I'm glad it is soon done. We did manage to get to the beach for two days, and it was great.

Wedding weekend

This weekend is Katy's wedding. I will be leaving Friday for the weekend. The wedding is only on Sunday, so the rest of the family will arrive Sunday morning. I sure it is going to be a great weekend. The weather is suppose to be great. The hard part will be "What To Wear?" Why do women stress over things like this? I have several new dresses to choose from, but as of right now I don't feel good in any of them. I mean everyone will be looking at the bride why should I worry what I have on? But as a women I'm sorwn to a code of ethic to always look my best. I also have a small reading part for the wedding so everyone will be looking at me at sometime, so I need to look great. I mean women have to have the whole package nails, hair, clothing, shoes, matching purse and jewery. Men have none of that. They put on a suit the same one they wear to all weddings, shirt and maybe a new tie. And as the mother af the family I also have to dress the children. Dressing to teenage boys is not easy. But I think they are ready to go. Today wea re also working on the house AGAIN like everyday. I think we can finally see light at the end of the construction tunnel, a few weeks yet. But not soon enough because beach weather is here.

Rainy day

It is raining at the beach today, rainy and cold. You have to wear long pants. The hotel is booked for the weekend, and into next weekend. Everyone wants to come and visit, only thing is we are not done with the house. The hotel part is done so it's ok. I can't wait until the rest is done and then I can go to the beach!!!!!!! Next weekend is Katy's wedding I'm so excited:+)

Sunny Day

What a great day. The tempature is about 82. the past few days have been busy, We have had guests in the new Kersey Hotel, or Motel 7 as we have been referring to it. Over the weekend Aunt Lisa was here. We went fishing and Mattew was casting his rod and not looking what he was doing and Lisa and I were walking along and not really looking around, and yea you guessed it the hook hit Lisa right in the chin. So we had to make a trip to the Beebe ER for hook removal. Last yea "THE BODY" tried to eat a hook and had to go to the vet for hook removal, but her's only cost $80.00 I'm sure Lisa's cost a lot more. Yes I did get pictures. Then after Lisa left, Grandma and Grandpa came. So today I took them to Dover to play slots. We had a nice time. They leave on Thursday they my girlfrined Sherry and her family will be here until Sunday. So the new hotel it booked up already. Next week my goddaughter gets married so it will be wedding week. I will be having a great time. Hopefully Katy will also soon. Right now she is Bridezilla.

Sad

The neighbors across the street have moved out. We will miss them. They are a young couple. He is a teacher and she works at the local hospital in the ER. He always played with the boys they are really missing him. They have no one to play football and baseball with them. Now they will be bugging me all the time. The house is a rental and now it is rented to some Russian kids that have imported here to lower DE. My husband is not happy about this. Hopefully they will be nice kids. Although last night "The Body" already chased one into the house. A few summers ago there were some Russian kids in the house and they were not very friendly, I hope this time is better.

Almost Done

Well "Motel 6" is almost done. That's what my sister calls the new guest room. Just a few odds and ends and it will be ready for guests. Also over the weekend I have been adjusting to my new eyes. Lasik surgery is as close to a miracle as I will ever get. I can wake up and see the time on my clock. Life doesn't get much better then that. Everyday things are becoming clearer. The weather is also great right now. I think summer will soon be here. The patio is also done now, and Mr. Sea-Ment is gone. The patio is great what a great party spot it is going to be.

Sunday

Will spring ever get here? I wish I knew the answer to that question. Now it is raining, raining, raining. I guess that is better then snow. People else were are snowed in. Construction was moving along, but now we have a rain delay. Mr. sea-ment, the mason can't work while it is raining. As soon as the weather breaks he will pour the patio and then the mud will be history. mr. sea-ment whose name is Warren and his son who's name is Nelson, but they call him George, figure that one out. They like it here also they love my chocolate cake. The kids go back to school tomarrow YEA, spring break is over.

Weather

It is cold and windy here today. Were is the warm beach weather. I thought it was on it's way. Today is the last school day for my children for a week. Why do parents need to be punished at holidays? Who made up the rules for time off school??? I did some painting today in the new bathroom. That bathroom is so big you could live in it. I don't know what my man was thinking when he built it.

Ham

Who would have thought that finding a ham for Easter dinner would be so hard. Well it is in southren DE. No one has the kind I like. It took me several days and road trips to finally find the perfect one. one good enough for my first Easter dinner in my new kitchen. we will be having company from PA. and I want everything to be wonderful. it rained he today actually a thunderstorm. it was great I love thunderstorms. i wonder why that is???? My cousin hates them. When she was a kid and it stormed her mom always made the whole familyg o into the living room and sit on the couch until the storm passed. Now I think that is strange. i also so my construction buddies today they were working down the street and stopped to say hello. The first thing out of their mouths "hey where was the hot chocolate today." My man is still golfing down south and my children are still bad, so life is still the same:+)
