Well....we've gotten the basement all cleaned out and all the outside buildings nailed shut so the doors won't be flapping in the winds.  I guess a couple of itty bitty nails will keep it all safe from the big, bad hurricane? LOL Tony has invited several of the neighbors shelter with us in our basement.  I'm thinking--Hurricane party?  Yeah right with a ton of kids there with us? LOl
We still have to fill the car up with gas, which I will do on my way home from work at 0600 a.m. this morning as well as a trip to Walmart.  We'll also have to get some gas for the generator.  Everything else will be okay I think!  Oh...
This stray dog has shown up at our house everyday.  It loves playing with the girls and has decided to make his home on our front porch. She even has snuck in the house a couple of times when the girls left the door open by accident(accident?  I don't think so!)  Anyway, they have not fed this dog, but have given it water and lots of playtime~~it won't go away.  The dog is in perfect health, shiny coat, not sickly looking so I believe it must belong to SOMEONE!  She does leave and come back, but mostly stays at our house.  She's great with the kids.  I think she has some Chow in her so that kind of worries me.  Anyway, enough background....
Hannah has been trying to convince me to allow this dog-(they have named her, "Candy" because of her red coat--what does that have to do with candy?)to stay in the basement while the hurricane is whirling through Mississippi.  I told her we could not allow Candy to stay in the basement with us.  Then Hannah starts crying worrying that she will die and going into full drama queen mode. THIS IS NOT OUR DOG!!!!  I try to tell her that the dog will more than likely head back to its original home although I think it has pretty much changed its address to our house.  I don't know what I am going to do and I hope-pray the dog will be fine or else Hannah will never forgive me!

Holleigh's birthday party turned out wonderfully!  & nbsp;The only glitch was that there were several other parties going on at the same time--with lots of BIG kids.  Big kids are scary on skates....they tend to almost run down the little kids!  We had several "near misses."  No major boo-boo's so that was a plus!
My three brothers showed up which was a pleasant surprise.   I never would have guessed they would be there.  I knew one would be at the party, but the other two completely blew my mind!  My little nephews were there and they were too cute.  My biggest shocker was my dad on skates!  I could not believe my eyes.  I bet he was sore on Sunday-maybe I'll call tomorrow and see if he is able to move!  He skated pretty well, but he said he was out of shape.  I find that hard to understand since he just retired from the military!
Holleigh had a ball and was tuckered out later that evening. She received a lot of nice presents and was so excited that her little friends were there. That girl loves to skate!  The only problem is--she wants me out there with her the ENTIRE time!  I have to admit I enjoy skating with her, but I was sore that night and all of Sunday.  Speaking of  Sunday...
Sunday morning, we missed Sunday School because we didn't get home until late.  After Holleigh's party on Saturday, we went back to Tony's mom's house and grilled steak.  This completely messed up my Weight Watchers points(I started WW on Thursday of this past week.).  We did make it to the morning service.  Actually, I missed the morning service because I kept the toddlers in the nursery.  Thank goodness I wasn't alone!  Those toddlers gave us a run for our money(oh--we didn't get paid!)  Sunday night, I kept the nursery during Discipleship Training.  Our friends' baby was the only baby I had.  I think he is about 6 months.  He was too sweet!  I was wishing for another baby of my own by the time I left!  Oh well....get that thought out of my head!

That's all for now.  I did remove comments from here.  I hate not being able to edit out the "bad" comments or links to another site, so I  deleted the entire option.  Sorry!

Guess I've been needing a break from blogging...appears that way since I haven't posted in a month!

Life has been a little busy at our house lately.  Between getting Haleigh to public school, Holleigh to preschool, and then trying to homeschool Hannah somewhere in the middle, I'm about to get dizzy!  The girls just started dancing and gymnastics this week so add that to an already packed week of me working and all these schools to attend to!  It's never boring that is for certain.

Haleigh is liking school and does well with her homework, but her tests grades have not been that good.  I'm really confused because she really does well in school(most of the time!) Holleigh is loving preschool and hasnt complained about the fact that she has to go to school everyday.  I, on the other hand, am having major problems with my baby being gone 5 days a week!  Speaking of my baby...

Happy Birthday, Holleigh! 

She turned 5 yesterday!!! She was born on 9/09.  We are having her a little skating party tomorrow on September 11.  I feel like crying.  The urge to have another baby has been strong lately, but it's not going to happen...and my heart has been breaking lately.  Tony didn't want anymore.  Oh well, that's another story...

I will be sore on Sunday from skating.  Pray I don't fall and break something!

It's getting late and my head feels like it wants to bounce off of the computer screen!  I am that tired!

Good night all~
