Tulip's Tantrums

Today was an interesting day with lots of learning: I'm too qualified for a job (haven't heard from another); shit continues to roll down hill; there are amazing people all over the world, many of whom I have the privilege of knowing; some leopards never change their spots and most don't stray far from the leap/prowl. Otherwise, my day was good. The drive in this morning was good, perhaps because I leave earlier than most and avoid a good portion of the rush hour. Work is busy as usual, and everyone is gearing up for Halloween tomorrow. The boys had one more practice tonight and then their big game tomorrow, while KVS is at work. I finished the witch costume, which ended up looking like a wizards dress, but hey - can't be perfect at everything. I've got my shawl and wig and hat and will do my face up; I'm sure all will be well. Well, my bed is calling me early tonight so I'll be signing off. Toodles!

Changed a couple things on my profile, one of which was the spider comment. How are things in your world? Things here are forever changing yet somehow staying the same. Some new things are: Happy b-day to Uncle S on his 28th. We drove up there last night through wicked conditions, but it was nice to see everyone. Uncle R and Auntie K were there with their 3 munchkins. The other R&K combination were there sans children. Grampa and Grandma were there for a bit, but then Grandma wasn't feeling well so they left. Uncle R brought B with him and one of Uncle S' co-workers was there too. Auntie K did a great job of everything and a good time was had by all. Football is finished for the year, except for the team's game, and after the banquet we will have a little bit of spare time to just be. Halloween is on Tuesday. I'm dressing up as a witch to see all the kidlets' as we hand out candy at my work . Our two December b-days come up quickly after that, followed by Chr

Where has the time gone? I know - is that all she ever says? is likely what you're thinking. I am just stunned at how things go faster and faster and faster with each day. I remember my Nana telling me not to wish my babies away. I thought it couldn't come quickly enough that we would be out of diapers and bottles. Turn around and our first baby is graduating this year. Absolutely amazing. What is new with us? The boys are having fun at football and KVS is a good team assistant. This is DBR's last year and so he's playing with a broken toe just because it is his last kick at the can. He is doing so incredibly well and has matured into a wonderful player. Overall person is a better way to put it. We're so very proud. BDR has a couple of injuries but seems to be mended for now - I'm sure the end of the season will bring out more pains in both of them. Recent happenings? Shared Thanksgiving with Dadums family - what a full house when we're all tog
