Birthday boys

Well the birthday boys have been caked and partied and shooed into another year...Luke is 2 and Wyatt is 3. Time goes by so fast. Next Year the 3rd little boy will be wanting up on poor old Outlaw for a ride too, I'm sure. Three future heartbreakers. Watch out girls, Granny's gonna train 'em right!!
Things here are rolling along at a normal pace. Frustrating and annoying one day and the next not so bad. I think that's just life, but at this stage I keep thinking there should be more..I wish there was more! That Reba McEntire song keeps whispering in my ear..'Is there life out there?'

It's that time of the year again...and of course there was a photographer on hand for the flying practice...and of course that was when it happened...darn bras!! You have no idea how painful that emergency landing was either!!

Well my Luke was officially 2 Monday. My how the time has flown...the nuk fairy came and collected all the pacifiers in the house for the new babies and left a neat little present. ( I thought that was very clever of Sarah) So far so good on that too!!! They are having him a party at the park on Sat. morning....lots of dirty playing kids and one tired Granny. lol We have just over a week til the due date for the new lil one....so we are just waiting anyyyy dayyyyy. The fall allergies are laying me low this year. Every year the fall is a misery for me, and it's my favorite time of the year! Ahhh well....

I have been noticing lately how differently people perceive things. I suppose it has to do with their personal experiences, education, background, religion, preferences, etc. It makes me wonder how perceptions translate into bad decision making. What makes one person see something attractive where another sees something to be cautious of? Is how someone sees themself included in that mixture too? If someone says 'I am a shy, caring person' yet goes on to spew bile, I hear from party 1...'you are wonderful!' I hear from party 2 ...'I admire you' and I wonder, am I missing something? because what I see is not really admirable nor wonderful, more like someone not being honest with themself. Is this the same quality that leads people to get involved in situations they KNOW are bad? This interests me.

Well let's see..what's been happening.

Sept. 27th was my wedding anniversary..something that wasn't remembered by ANYBODY but me. Happy 31st!

My big mouth was in overtime again...I guess the slight lessening of the heat went to my head so I suggested another trip to the zoo. We loaded all 3 kids, and 3 adults for the hour long drive to Houston despite my less than great impression of the zoo there in the spring. We got there and got paid in and immediately everybody was hungry (these children think they need to eat..imagine that) ok we got that done and off we go to see the critters. The aquarium was blocked off...on around the way...we saw the giraffes (my favorites) and there were 2 little babies . The elephants were blocked off..on around...we saw 2 lionesses. Following the little brick road we found the rhinos blocked off...we saw a speckled bear. And so it went throughout the entire zoo. VERY disappointing. Especially since we DID pay full price to get in and expected to see the animals! On top of the lack of animals for the kids to see...The weather decided to return to it's former glory and try to dissolve me. Thank goodness it was shady or I would have had sunburn to deal with as well! Overall the kids did well though
and we got back home about 3 with everybody but me in reasonable shape.

I had jury duty Monday. That's only the second time I have ever been called. They dismissed me even without any questions...Apparently there were more there than needed and I didn't appeal to them. Ahhhhh the rejections we must bear. I still got my $6 ....WOOT WOOT!!

Well I guess that's about it for now....maybe something truly exciting will happen(only good of course!!)
