The insanity has ebbed.

I do not want to brag, or appear negative with this post. Im just stating the facts of the last month for my records. Ultra Source the salon I have been at for the last two years became so unbearable I just couldn't afford to work there any longer. Literally. With the gas and time I spent sitting their, just wasn't going to work. Plus I have a problem with working with special needs adults that ruin peoples lives and there hair! I was sitting in my chair and not one person was doing hair the SATURDAY before Thxgiving. I realized that we were not busy then that it just wasn't going to happen. I packed up my stuff and left without even saying that I quit. It was a bit rude or irresponsible but I really have a whole new drama of why I just left. So sweet! Im free to be home with Brad and I can make dinner and be a cute wife, After all I still have my nanny job and home salon right? um. no. A week later my nanny family regretfully had to suspend my employment for a couple months, maybe longer because they can't afford any extras any longer. They have closing costs from a previous home and I more than understand.I really loved being a nanny, and I will miss the great girls. So now I have the salon and it does help a bit but it would be so nice to come upon a child and get to feel okay with staying at home and being lame. Sheesh, if anything I just want to stay home! And I can't justify doing that when I can work. Now I am off to look for a job, or register for a math class for winter or do something with my life. As for the insanity of having 3 jobs, a HUGE calling, exercising, adoption progress, and lunch date with friends. All has slowed down completely. I was released from primary, and now a month later find myself more than free for anything. And that is all folks.

Dinner with the whole famdamily.

The college gals came down to visit for turkey day. They looked great and didn't leave town until I had completely tinseled both linds and Kelsey. Did I mention that tinsel is bomb and people pay a lot for it? Yep. Sweet tomatoes is more than ideal for the family to go and eat. Mom and Dad are on the South beach diet and loosing like crazy. They can eat nonstop. People usually stare at our massive group of females, this dinner was no exception except we were all dressed in matching colors from our family pix. I can't wait to post them! Kels is an amazing photographer.

Turkey day cont.

My Aunt Colleen is so willing to always host Thanksgiving at her compound. I do remember hosting it and it is a pain and usually my parents would stress and be grumpy after. So I am okay with going to her home. We used to have a mini rodeo with roping and relays on the horses but with our huge numbers don't allow for that now. The last time I rode a horse was ten or more years ago. My mother was with me and said my rear was as big as the horses, and I had not riding since. I tell you this mostly because I became busy and was no longer able to find time but the rear comment did make an impact. I would like to say that my rear is still as big if not bigger now. I did get back on and had a great time walking around with my cousin and her spouse. I just love horses. They are magnificent animals. We call Brooke the horse face because well she is in love with her palominos.

Turkey pit style.

Since I go to bed at 9 usually I was not around to experience the turkey pit ceremonies this year. Its a tradition that makes Thanksgiving so perfect. As kids we would stay up and stare at the fire as it burned down to make those great turkey coals. Call me nostalgic. The birds were yummy and thanks to Brads work we got a HUGE bird with a gift card from his work. Brent Stapley always does are turkeys he is the best. Notice I was in bed asleep when these pix were taken, yep those toads love to stay up all night! Whoo hoo.

The pix are a bit blurry. So sorry, that is concert pix for ya!

Kenny Loggins... is still quite sexy.

Dad months in advance bought tickets for us married people to go and have a group date together. We hit outback with the family and then set off to see Kenny at the Celebrity theater. We had such a great time, Raylene's Birthday was the week after so we celebrated more than once! Lucky 26. Can I just say that anything at Outback is just divine. Kenny was great at performing, keeping us interested and like most concerts we go to watching the awkward people is enough entertainment for me. There are some serious wacks out there. Just imagine people that are old trying to be young and dancing with there moves. Awkward. Thanks Dad for the great night! We love you.
