Everyday life happenings

Well life just keeps passing by with each breath. The kids are involved in all their activities.....I got a new car....My friend Carla got a new car and just gave me her old car free and clear isn't that a God send? Rob wrecked the mustang a few months back and we got ripped off by the insurance company because apparently the car had been wrecked previosly and it didn't tell us that on the title...so anyway we still got what we paid into it, but I took the money to pay off most of his medical bills from his back surgery. Rob is tired of driving " Old Faithful" That is what I have named the honda..lol. No matter what happens with our car situation...The honda always seems to be the back-up car ..it is white with a brown door...no radio because it has been robbed so many times...and it still keeps running along. I refuse to have a car payment because you never know what will happen in this economy. Plus, we basically only have one income, 6 kids, and people with health issues....so you never know...so we basically have to save for a car and lately things keep coming up...so ROb has been upset about the car issue..and now it is all cleared up. As far as I am concerned.
I love my new job.....it is a happy place to be...It is like being in a world of color and texture...and people walk in there want to be there and love all the same things I love.
So many things seem to be falling into place..and school starts for me next week.
Rob got a promotion at work....not sure how much or what is actually happening until Friday....When he has a meeting with the upper management. So things seem to be happening for the better. All that nagging I did to make him get his certification paid off..lol.
Well, I hope everyone has a good day!

Fall Beginings

Well football for our family has officially started and Clarissa had her first soccer practice. She was excited and nervous all at the same time. All I could think the whole time is ...She is so much like her mother..she does not have natural grace or athletic abilities. She kept placing the ball perfectly with her hands before she would kick it....lol. SO obviously we need to work with her...and she runs like a girl...oh well good thing she is one.
We went camping at RimRock last weekend we were rained on but it was fun. They had a live band and also two days of sword fighting, medieval style with foam swords and Shields..That is just what the doctor ordered for the kids! So the boys spent most of their time fighting or in the pool.
Clarissa was in tears because a little boy ( JOsh our friends little guy) had a crush on her and told her she was " one gorgeous wady and he just wanted to kiss her" well obviously like most women she cried and got totally disgusted by it..so much so that you can't even mention it now without the tears spilling freely. How tragic..I know.
I am starting a new job today. I got a job at the local fabric store...very part-time ..I think anyway and she is willing to work around my school schedule..so it seems to be a perfect fit for me.
Fall is representing so many new beginnings for me that it almost seems like it should be spring...but things are settling down in some areas and the weather is getting colder..Fall is my favorite time of year...I love apples and pie, cider and the warm colors of fall. All those warm colors make me happy and I love to bundle up in nice comfy sweaters...
I hope fall brings everyone the same happiness and comfort it brings me.
