GO HOGS!!!!!!!!  sirtarin I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. =)  login to comment hide comments Working 11-24-08 08:11pm CST This week, Mon.-Wed., I am working with my mother-in-law at a Honeybee Ham store. It will give us a little extra money for the holidays. The kids did MOST of the things I left instructions for them to do while I was gone ;-) I don't like being away, but we need the extra money this year. Things are very "tight"... bunchesinla I always did a seasonal job like working at a local florist for Valentine's day. It does give a little extra jingle in the pocket and the kids can cope without your for a few days. Have fun!  phyllisophical_mom Good for you...So far my Usborne is helping us, being this is the highest selling time.  matermagistra Tight here too...wish my kids were old enough to be able to leave them to do a little part-time work.  didow It was good to see you this weekend. It's always nice to have a means of bringing in a little extra cash this time of year.  stylinmama I'm with you on things being tight. Glad you could find something to help out!  phyllisophical_mom Hospital at 3 a.m.???  carolattheriver That's cool to have something extra you can do like that.  login to comment hide comments My 40th Birthday 11-18-08 11:13am CST My birthday also came and went. It was Oct. 30, and we were campaigning. First, my oldest daughter thought I should wake up to THIS on my birthday morning... I won't add the pics, but my van was filled with balloons and glass chalked all over. My bushes were wrapped with streamers and my tree with toilet paper. The lawn had big letters in it "Lauri is 40". It was GREAT!!! My husband was so wonderful and was very thoughtful about it. He didn't do all of the "black, over the hill" stuff. He was just sweet. He brought everything up to the hotel we were staying in (well, the kids and I were staying in a local hotel) and we had a big party with everyone involved in the campaign. Here are a few pics... didow That is a great picture and a beautiful cake. All you guys do is have birthday parties. :)  sharon Aren't kids great? :)  matermagistra Awwww...I love the cake! And that's so cool that you and your family were campaigning!  carolattheriver You haven't changed a bit!  joc Wow! Where did all the time go???

We have been so busy she didn't really get a party! We went to a 50's style hamburger joint, with just family, and then there was a scavenger hunt for some of the homeschoolers that had b-days in October. There were over 50 kids there!!! Our weekends have been filled with soccer and campaigning. Maybe in the next 2 weeks I can try to have a joint little party for my 2 that had October birthdays. They want to celebrate with their friends. I have a few pics of her opening presents, but they are still on my camera and my camera is in the car. I'm too lazy to go get it right now :-) The first one is almost a year old... This next one is both "October Birthday" girls with a couple of their friends from HSCamp. cyber_space_cadet Cute pictures! :)  didow It's hard to keep up with all the birthdays, isn't it? Did you know Silsbee's singing is Nov 22. It would be great if all of you could go. We're planning on going. If Brandon would like to come stay the weekend, he's more than welcome.  carolattheriver Time is flying!  sallyanne Happy happy happy Birthday.

Weson't B-day was October 15.  tia This was a competetion throughout the southern region of the states... put on by 4-Hers in Florida.  phyllisophical_mom It's been almost a long time.....(hint hint)  login to comment hide comments Early Voting 10-28-08 03:25pm CST I spent 2 1/2 hours in line to vote today. I needed to early vote because I will be campaigning and sign waving next week on election day! I feel so relieved that I have done my duty...(but so concerned that people are voting without making an educated decision) Now I have to finish the job with our GOTV (get out the vote) campaign for our man, Chris Gorman for Congress! stylinmama We get to vote by mail here in Oregon. It's GREAT! No lines!! :)  stitchinmom I don't think we get to vote early here. You've inspired me to call the campaign office back to help out.  joc Here in Dayton, I only stood in line about 5 minutes. Sure does feel good to know my vote is in.  grace We had to wait 45 minutes to vote on Monday but I'm sure it would have taken a lot longer had we waited until Tuesday!  diannes Thank you for your comments. Boy, that sounds so formal, but I mean it. Homeschoolers are the most informed people, in this nation. You know exactly what is at stake.  diannes Wow, I am so excited for you and the kids! They learn so much and good citizenship, to boot. Go Lauri!!!!!!!!  diannes Oh yeah, I have a 'Saracuda' bumper sticker.  login to comment hide comments 5 >>   25 >>   >>>
