Brandon is REALLY looking forward to Friday night!!! Hubby and I are taking a small group of teenage boys to "Terror Behind The Walls"

I AM NOT GOING IN! lol

It's an OLD State Penitentiary that has been shut down for years. IT'S Creepy. And it's rated in the top 10 best Haunted places in the United States. So, you know how teenage boys are. They love that stuff! SO, this is the year. Brandon has wanted to go there for a couple of years now. But, I haven't let him. I just think before this year he was too young. SO this is huge for him. Hubby and I will take them, and then we'll let them go in, and be big kids for about 30 minutes. And then, we'll be there when they come out. :) Waiting..... Should be nice for them. Brooke will not be going. NO WAY. She's a lot like me. She can't handle scary stuff well. Neither can I. Plus, she hates being in the dark, and feeling closed in. JUST LIKE ME!!!! She'll go to Lindsey's while we take the boys. This is a big step for me.... I am so used to sheltering Brandon (and Brooke). Letting him go in there makes me very nervous. BUT, I know it's the right thing to do, for him. I have to let him grow.... let him go... little by little. They are only tucked under our wings for a very short time....... :)

IF This music doesn't make you dance in your seat... YOU NEED TO LOOSEN UP! :) :)
I listened to this song this morning on my way to work and danced my self crazy in the car! What a fun song!!! Ok. So it's a bit of a blast from the past... BUT IT'S FUN!!!!! Go on.... Take a minute to enjoy yourself!!!! Watch how you'll want to move around in your seat!!! lol (true)

Sharing the smiles... :) :) :) :) :)

Good Morning ~

What an incredible day it is!

A perfect day to sit on a porch, overlooking the beach... sipping on a nice, hot cup of coffee. Doesn't that sound good?? With comfy's on, and a cozy blanket wrapped around me! Ah... got to get to the beach again before it's much to cold. I want to walk on the beach, and dig my toes in the sand - one more time, this fall. :) I look forward to it..... ((hint hint... BABY, can we go??))

Everything is okay. I'm having some health issues. I need to get something taken care of, but have been putting it off for way too long. If I don't do it soon, there could be major problems. I'm just scared to deal with it. I don't want to be in pain, and I am scared of surgery or whatever it is I'd have to go through, and recovery. I am afraid of being out of commission, and unable to live my life normally. So, all of these things are in my head. It's a lot to think about. *sigh
Here's the thing. I would tell my best friend to go, right away. Deal with it - everything will be okay. I should take my own advise. It's just not always that easy.


OK, on a lighter note. Things are going well. The kids are doing great in school, and Brooke took no time at all to adjust to Middle School. They really impress me this year. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. Both of them. Brandon looks taller than me, which is not a surprise - since I am only 5'3" tall. lol .. And Brooke is this positively beautiful girl. It's amazing..... those two kids used to be my tiny little munchkins. My little creations. And now, they are blossoming into these pre-teen sweeties. Heck, Brandon will be a teenager next month!!!!!!!!!

That's about it for now. :)

Have a beautiful day!
