tis the season

for football and cold weather....The boys have been practicing since the last of july and talk about hot..I dont know which is worse...first we sweat and roast watching them play and then the cold weather hits before they are through and we are sitting in snow and whos knows what else by the time the season is over.

this past weekend was a scrimmage game..but they lasted all day...had four games saturday and three sunday and both days were scorchers to say the least..i kinda feel sorry for those little fellas out there in all that get up and all the heat...

On the other hand..maybe we should get suited up in one of these football outfits..they fit like girdles and made you look three times smaller then what you are..I'm ready to try one to cover all this frugal fat im carrying around.yeah..picture that..slim and trim me....in a corset...actually thats what the pants make me think they are..by the time you lace them and pull them extra tight...then the pads inside make your hips stick out so you look pretty proportioned..They had some girls playing on these teams...they must have balls more then the boys to play with them...

I walked or rather hobbled around the field at one time and took a picture of number 99...hes the older boy playing...if you look across the left top of the picture you could see our easy up tent on the other side of the bleachers..on the very top....at the end..thats where we were sitting..when you circled the field and looked back ,,it looked like the beach...all you could see where tents and tits...the young girls dont care what hangs out...of course the tents were us old gals...

the little one played center in these games..hes the one bent over with his helmet almost on the ground getting ready to hike the ball...number 6 when you can see it..the trouble with these little fellas is when they all get out there..they all look like your kid...the first team we played against was my old alma mater..the little blue and whites were us...the ripley vikings..it was hard not to root for them..which sometimes i did...we got the first touch down ,,then after that we went to score,,,they retaliated with 4 touchdowns one right after the other.beat our butts to say the least,,

ok,,i think i may hit the sack.its going on 11 p.m. and if i don't i will be digging for something else to eat and since 7 o'clock i have eaten a foot long sub,,,a yogurt,,some walnuts and a bowl of chocolate cereal,,,now im too full to lay down.as soon as i finish these i am on the way to some 'zzzzzzzz's. later;;;

5,4,3,2,go

on the way to the countdown...5 weeks from today i will be laying in the hospital with a bionic knee...IF I DON'T TALK MYSELF OUT OF IT.
almost be like new years ...out with the old and in with the new..actually I'd like to have the face lift..tummy tuck,and all the rest of the things to make this ol body have a little more bounce to the ounce. a vein free nice looking leg would be in on the list too...oh well...don't know why I'm complaining ,,it could be worse...when i see people that don't have half of what i have i feel fortunate...to be bed fast or home bound would be a fate almost as bad as death for me....so I'm thankful Lord for what i have..Yes=sir = ree...I'm outta here...
Tuesday morning...suppose to rain for the next three days...i planted willow trees all down the driveway yesterday morning and if it doesn't rain,,i have to water them today....
OK..whats twitter...i feel like a twit anyway....so now there is my space, face book, blogging , email,,and now we get to twitter...and with that i got to twitter outside and take the trash down to the road...later...

fair day

I left home at 8 a.m...wanting to hit Sams Club during the business hours before all the regular people get in there at 9:00 and the early people get coffee and pastries..yum,yum...so i grabbed a cup of coffee and a nutri gran bar and proceeded looking thru the store....I normally just buy the big obnoxious looking boxes of whatever i need and get the hell out of dodge....but the summer markdowns are in full swing so i thought i would just look..well,, my just looking netted me getting out of the store with 4 speedo bathing suits..which three are going back today and 5 that i thought i just had to have blouses..I am keeping three of the blouses so i did much better in that department...

I usually dont try anything on til i take it home ,,I usually buy two different sizes then take the odd one that dosesnt fit right,, back sometime later and return them..well...i meandered across two ladies buying these speedo bathing suits which were marked down to 8 bucks...The one lady among talking told me she was in aerobics and had about 80 suits which she used for aerobics...So I bought me one size above her wondering how she could possibly get into the size she is tellling me she wore...although she did end up buying that size.,meanwhile i'm looking at my behind and looking at hers and thinking "Is there really that much difference...must have been and I just didnt see it..still thinking about this woman and if she ever reads my blog she will be cussing me...

Evidently,,these suits must run big because the size i bought wasnt a suck the breath out of you tight when i got it on...and i do believe if i had gotten a size smaller ,the tits wouldnt have fit..this lady buying the suits must have squeezed real long and hard into hers ,,although i think my waist was a little thicker then hers , but the boobs and butt looked the same...but you know how they say looks are deceiving..well...i'm deceived.ok..not that i take aerobics or even wear a bathing suit for that matter..but i thought i better get one in case i leave state and no one knows me...thats the only time i wear a bathing suit..I'd really like to have a frog suit..enough said...

Anyways,,,I left Sams and picked up the 9,7 and 3 year old to take them to the fair....I'm just a glutton for punishment ,arent i...the weather was nothing but hot,humid,muggy,,,I could feel the drops of sweat rolling down my back as i walked around with the 3 year old.The boys ran the grounds by themselves as the rides were atop the highest knoll around there ,,I was'nt worried too much about someone taking them...they were too interested in riding....you couldnt pry them away from the rides with a crowbar....My only concern was trying to find them when i was ready to leave..that would be the fun part...

The girl(Madison) liked the minature ferris wheel ..in the form of barrels..I didnt think she would attempt this one but she wasnt afraid of any of them..she just had her favorites and the sack ride was one she liked best..

Maddie and i walked around and rode the rides she wanted too ,the big slide with burlap sack was the one she kept riding over and over..not me..I could never make it up those stairs over and over.Once would have been enough for me...I waited at the bottom for her , my eyes roving over the little rip off concession stands knowing she would soon be hot and hungry...they just seem to go together...especially when you are out...the cost of the food seems to take all the joy out of going..i could have packed some drinks and snacks but i didnt want to pack them,,so after this ride we walked and walked and walked to find her a bite to eat...we settled for a corndog , fries, and a drink,,,the price seemed right ,,,it was a kiddie meal special....ok..by this time i get a phone call..dratted cell phones..cant hide from anyone...with all the noise i had missed the call so i returned it

My son was calling me to see if I had a birth certificate of his((which,,)),,anyway ,,he proceeded to tell me he had lost his wallet and everything in it and he needed his birth certificate to get a new

license as he was starting a new job the next morning and needed them to drive.

He thinks he left his wallet at Walmart...at the check out...and I suppose the person behind him couldnt have been a educated ,,but honest person

and returned the wallet to customer service....I know what a panic you are in ,,,especially i am ,,when i have left my pocket book somewhere and back travel to get it ...The few times it has happened to me I have been fortunate enough to find it.By this time it is 2 oclock..I am in a town about 50 mile away and already been in to Sams ,,the town he is in..but the town i took the kids to the carnival to was 50 mile away..I told him i would stop by my house on the way back to the town i was in that morning and find a birth certificate..Thank god..i had an idea where these were at when i got back to my house..I told him i would meet him at 4,enough time for me to find the boys and get back to him....I knew finding the boys was going to be fun and I had less then an hour to do so.

By this time the 3 year old is hot ,,whiny and sweaty...and im hobbling around with this leg of mine looking in this area ,,like a needle in a haystack for the two boys....so i can get them something to drink and eat and get out of there.welll,,luck was with me...I knew they liked the ferris wheel so i headed over that way...didnt see them on the ground anywhere which was like looking for a needle in a haystack..happened to look up at the ferris wheel as it was unloading and there they sat...this was a lot easier then i thought it would be to find them...at this time they spied me.so we stuck together and headed for something to eat...they had the same meal deal as the girl and had time to ride a couple more rides...they chose the swings as it was the ride that held 30 people and you could get on quicker...

note..the octopus ride or the spider or whatever you want to call it ride...in the back of some of these pics..it was struck by lightening on monday night and was fried...which at this time the skies had turned from the hot sun to an overcast which was getting darker by the minute...a wind kicked up and a few drops of rain ,and we could see lightening in the distance...these three had just gotten on the swings to ride and as soon as the 7 year old saw lightening ,he got off the ride before it started and wouldnt have nothing else to do with riding..now whether they ever got enough rain or lightening to shut down the ride ,,i dont know ,,because we were on our way out anyway...and so were a lot of other people...

We have had long hot,humid days til about 3 or so then these storms pop up and are isolated and move on out.some so damage ..some dont..they do cool down the evening and nighttime hours though..

We finally made it back to the car...back to the town we started from and i met my son after 4 to get him his birth certificate..the boys had to be at ball practice by six ..thru at eight and we didnt get home til after nine..so i had a full 12 hours running time.....ok,,,im tired after writing this post and thinking how tired i was by the time this day was over...I'm outta here...

I'm ready for a new post and havent even gotten this one out..so here goes.

monday...5 days later..now this post is really old....

no time for proofreading ...so this post is sent

neat and cool

this is what it looks like to begin with....
it goes from this to this

and heres the end result

isnt this the neatest thing...how people can invent the things they do....

super glue

ohhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyy,,one more short post...cant go back to bed..want to see the story about the four woman and the pecker they super glued on their butt head of a boy friend...... It's on the today show...or rather crazy glue...they used..either one would surely have to hurt.....outta here.

sound like the cajun sis

a pool or trampoline toy...................no one could
get on it in the pool...........or stay on it.

OK,,,,,it is 6 ,,maybe 7 weeks on a countdown for me to have this knee surgery that I am so not looking forward to having fixed....if that's what you can call it...When my gr-baby comes down ,,she wants to know if i have my metal knee yet...I don't know whether she really knows what it means...or what she is thinking it will look like....I sometimes wonder how the little ones minds think,like this maybe..,,,of course,,,the more senior i get the more i probably sound like a four year old,,so i think I'm finding out the older i get....

wont be long til school starts...sometimes i think that's good..sometimes bad...depends on whether you have to get up and put them off to school.i think my putting kids of to school days is over...it wouldn't matter anyway...I'm up early no matter what time i go to bed..just a matter of getting used to it.

I went to town yesterday to drop the 7 year old off for football practice..they have two scrimmage games this weekend ...In practice they are playing him on offense as a center....i think that's what the position is...its the one that hikes the ball..so here at home..hes the hiker and I'm the quarter back...i like my position better...i sit in the chair and say hutt hutt ready set or maybe its vice versa...maybe its ready ,set ,,hutt hutt...hell...i don't even know what i do say now..but I'm a sitting quarterback.....i don't get sacked....i like this game...actually i could never play football...i hate for someone to hit me when I'm not looking or to run up behind me and grab my butt or whatever,,,I'm afraid i would be duking it out with the one that hits me...now as for grabbing my butt,,in my younger years that would have been fine but now it would be an insult.or maybe that should be said in reverse....maybe it would be nice now...

they are forecasting rain all this weekend.....we are already flooded in the southern part of the state...Charleston and Huntington have had some major water and if we get rain all week ,the flooding will be out of control..the practice was cancelled after about and hour and 15 minutes last night...as soon as they see the first streak of lightening ,,,games are cancelled..and I'm off like a flash too.... every one likes holly...the black lab
OK...its 7 a.m. i want to finish my room i started on yesterday....so....its off to work i go,,,but then again,,,man,,I'm sleeeeeeeeeepy...i shall catch everyone later,,,

90 degrees

not much of a post here,much to get done...for no reason other then to get it done....I lollagagged around this weekend and didnt get as much done as i wanted to...For one reason,,yesterday was the first day since april 24th that we have hit 90 degrees....The degrees wasnt so bad ,,it was that nasty humidity that hung around with it..the kind that leaves drops of water dripping off your head and nose and your back soaking wet..I hate it..I did get out and mow for about an hour then sprayed roundup around my tree trunks so i wouldnt have to worry about them getting eat up if someone weedeated them...as for me ,,i hate to weed eat..i'd rather pull them out or hoe them...whatever works....Today I need to go out and finish mowing the rest of the 100 -88 of the hundred acre wooods...we are suppose to have hit and miss showers today then rain the rest of the week...oh well. i dont care what it does as long as it stays slightly warm...i hate winter with a big passion...at least the single digits.....
ok,,,hello to everyone out there reading my boring post..I will catch everyone later..heard my cell ring a few minutes ago and the cajun girl is callling...................
