We had a great time this weekend with Grace....we got the Halloween decor put up, we cut out and painted some headstones....Mine says R.I.P. The Mullet 1985-1990!! It's great. I've got some pictures, I just haven't downloaded them yet. My cousin Jessica's hayride was great...lots of good food. I hope she does it every year!
Plans are under way for my Chicago trip on Thursday...I'm still very nervous about driving, but I think it will be OK. I jacked around and didn't get a room booked til today and am staying at the Ramada Inn for much more than I wanted to spend, but hopefully the room won't be a craphole!
Raymond's house is coming along. LOTS of work to do before they can move in. We got the house painted in one day and it looks great. Raymond and my dad are jacking up the floors and will be doing something in the ceiling and are rewiring it. My dad says some of it was wired with lamp cords...hwatever that means. I think he was joking. Thank god he's a certified electrician....cheap labor for Raymond! The walls are completely stripped so as soon as all of the previous is done, they will begin hanging drywall. Then time for painting! My favorite part!
Amy and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch the other day. They were so cute!
My Grandpa Kopec is still doing well. He is running around all of the time, never at home! Always at his girlfriend, Florence's, or at the boat! He's still got a lot of life left in him!
Bill loves his new job. As far as the POC truck is concerned, we hasd to ditch that idea and just bought a new car. Well, not new new, but a 2003 Durango. It's pretty nice and will serve it's purpose. I just hope I get to drive it some! I don't like the idea of another payment, but something had to be done. I was really saddened that the dealership didn't offer him like $3,000 trade in on his broke down Geo Tracker...but life will go on. Just kidding!
We had parent teacher conferences with Grace's teacher last week. Mrs. Summers says she is a great student and is doing fantastic. That was nice to hear. Of course, we knew she was doing well in school, but it's nice to hear it from the teacher!
Speaking of P/T conferences...I have to complain about something. We arrived at the school about 15 min before our appt. The teacher was running behind because there were still 2 sets of parents ahead of us. The parents that were in there when we got there were taking FOREVER! I could hear them in there talking, along with the kids screaming and running around (who takes kids to PT conf anyway?!)...Anyway, they come walking out....a mom, dad, grandma, and three kids. The gma was on the phone and she says to me, yeah, she's running behind. I just smiled and went back to reading what I was looking at. They all walk by and the dad says very loudly, "well, they'll have to wait just like everybody else....we had to wait" I looked up and they were just walking down the hallway, I looked at one of the other moms and she was like oh my god.....anyway, I just watched them down the hallway and when they got to the end, the gma turned around and had a staredown with me. Of course I wasn't going to say anything at the school, but I'll just say, I won the staredown! And not that it matters, but they were pentecostal!!!!! Somebody needed to rip her bun out of her head and slap the dad with it.
I guess that's it for tonight, I've been on here waaaay too long!! Good night!
