Wheeeeeee!

We went to the fair today! It was fun. We rode some of the rides, we played some of the games, we went to the exhibition hall and checked out some of the cool stuff there, and we finished up with snack purchases. We always get the home made fudge and the girls get cotton candy. Overall a very good day. We didn't walk the entire thing though or go to the concert as that would have had us there way longer than we wanted to be there. As it is we were there four or five hours. 

At some point in the day I told Mackenzie that we were not going to be able to go next year and she got sad again. She isn't dealing with the moving news very well. Hopefully we can remedy that when we get back by getting her involved in some activities with friends. Only time will tell. 

Well, I have a spa appointment tomorrow! So I have to go get some sleep because I have to be there at 9am! On a Sunday! What was I thinking?

 I'll share pics from the fair soon.

Waiting is hard...

So I am sitting here waiting on the bug guy to get here. We have to be ready to leave the house once it's sprayed  and unfortunately he can show up any time between now and 1pm. It would be great if he got here now because then we would have time to go to the fair today. But if he doesn't get here until one, well, I guess it's the mall or the book store or the library. 

And on to other news.....we are moving back to Vegas. Yes, it has happened. We are being transferred and now have a very short time to find a house and get moved. Part of me is super happy, and another part of me is super crappy. Sorry, I just had a huge urge to rhyme. So like I said, I'm happy that we are going to be back but will miss the weather, the green, the parks with SHADE and well, lots of other things. But it's all for the best I suppose. 

I start another class tonight. Research and Statistics. Yeah! I'm so excited to get this one over with. Since we are moving I will probably switch to online classes until we get settled in our new place. Our new place that has a pool!!! It's my one must have, no negotiations requirement.

And well, that's about it I guess. For now anyway.

We Made It!

I love my family, but oh my goodness it's nice to have my house back. 

We had a great trip to Oregon to see our niece graduate and it was made extra special because got to spend it with family. Don't believe me? Just look at the pics!

A question or two...

How do you connect with teens ages 12-19 who are using drugs?

Kids who have parents who smoke pot or who have taught their kids that pot really isn't a drug or that it isn't harmful?

Kids with parents who stand there with a drink in there hand saying "don't drink" or who decide other things in life are more important than their kids who is strung out on heroin?

Kids who use who are having kids themselves?

The job I accepted is hard. I mean, these kids aren't stupid. They know what they are doing. Most of them fully accept that the drugs they use are harmful and most of them will tell you they could care less. So how does a person reach them? I mean, I know the different theories and techniques, but I am thinking there has got to be a better way. Or perhaps there are just a lot of things I still need to learn. 

I'll have to write more later....

Crazy brain time....

This was a tough week. And that's all I've got to say about that.

I found this funny quote:

Be nice! Else you'll spend the rest of your life fighting and competing and you'll never trust anyone and you will end up just not being very happy and stuff.

I like it because there is truth in it. 

We will have 12 visitors on Wednesday staying with us. It should be an interesting event. Can you say QFT? Yep, that's what it will be. 

Well, I'm out!
