Last weekend we went camping at Ft Desoto. It was a blast and I can't wait to go again!! The girls had fun roasting marshmallows and catching jellyfish and hermit crabs. I love sitting around the campfire at night and talking. Wade liked being able to fish right across from our site. He even caught a flounder. Sunday when we got home from camping my parents arrived with our newest addition to the family, Cobi. He is such a sweet sweet dog. We love him already. Here's a link to all the pics: Camping Pics and for those who aren't interested in all those here are a few of my favorites: Cinderella and Barbie Island Princess Camping Cobi Let's all be praying for our country and the future. I'm constantly reminding myself that God is in control and though times may get tough there is a better future for me in Heaven! 2008-11-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=586723 Yesterday morning I noticed that Wade didn't drink all of his coffee before he left the house. I LOVE iced coffee and I remembered that I had some pish pish (Ready Whip for all you normal people out there) and I got excited. So I made myself a delicious cup of iced coffee with lots of Splenda, milk and piled high with whipped cream. I drank it slowly and savored each sip while I did the dishes. About an hour later I had the shakes and felt really nervous like if I stopped moving something bad would happen. Now, I drink coffee once in a while, usually once a month at night so I guess I sleep through this drugged state. I felt AWFUL all day. I got ALOT done but I didn't enjoy this feeling. I imagine this is what people feel like when they are on speed - not that I know I'm just using my imagination. The effects didn't wear off until like 5 am this morning when I finally fell asleep. I stayed up all night swearing to my self that I will NEVER drink caffeinated coffee again. All... 2008-10-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=583180 Lauren started pre-school on Wednesday and she's doing great. She didn't cry and neither did I. What I did do is go to breakfast @ Cracker Barrel then went shopping at Old Time Pottery, Michaels, Bealls Outlet and TJMaxx all with her. Yesterday I was at the house all by myself. It was weird and really really quiet. I think I'll adjust ok though ;) 2008-10-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=578004 I'm tagged but the buck stops here. 1. All the rooms in my house have to be neat before I go to bed or I can't sleep well. This includes my daughter’s rooms and I'm sure that everyday during clean up time they hate me. 2. I'm not a coffee drinker because everyone I know that drinks coffee in the morning gets addicted and I'm happy just saying "no". 3. I've moved 27 different times during my life; 16 with my parents, 4 on my own and 7 since I've been married! 4. I spend more time at Brenna's school then I do at home AND I LOVE IT!! 5. I took Wade's Principals of Finance class's test and PASSED!! I got a 60 but that's passing!! Hope none of his students get lower then that after sitting through the lectures :) 6. I HATE paying for haircuts which is why my hair is so long. 7. I have a magnet collection that I started on my honeymoon of all the places Wade and I have been since we've been married. 8. This is something I'm always wondering about. Are we going to ... 2008-09-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=567826 My friend Stephanie posted a poem that touched me and I thought I would share it. 2008-08-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=566119 Here's our puppy!! Cobi - Border Sheltie Born: Aug 15 Weight: about 8 oz Of course we don't have him yet but we are all excited for him to be a part of our family :) 2008-08-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=564537 Brenna started school yesterday. She was excited but she was also scared that she would have a spelling test on the first day. I assured her that she wouldn't :) I was a little sad for her to find out that she didn't have anyone in her class from last year. She's already made a new friend so I guess I shouldn't worry too much. Thanks to Fay school was cancelled for today, which I don't mind another day to sleep in :) 2008-08-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/pettymama?l=5&entryID=561808 I like to see pics when I'm on my page so here are just a few of my favorites...

I'm looking forward to getting into a routine and I can't wait to find out who her teacher will be!! We are also going to be getting a puppy sometime in Nov. My cousin's shelty is pregnant with puppies and we've already come up with a name so hopefully everything goes smoothly and we'll be able to get one. That's all for now. 2008-08-06
