The Last Day of August

I hate to see it go. September 1 tomorrow, fall is already breathing down my neck. Not that I don't like fall, it's the best time of the year! (They're all good!)
It's just that time is flying so unbelievably quickly. Egads, it was just spring.

Lisa's birthday is September 25, 40 years old. So many unbelievable things happening lately. 40. My kid sister. Is that for real or just some big assed cosmic joke? Dad's already crept into his 60's. Mom's eyeballing 60's. The babies technically aren't even babies anymore. I don't even want to think about how old my own daughters are getting.

Lord, it's a good thing I don't age like they're all doing!

Looks like Dad's going back to Florida on Sunday. I sure hope they change their minds and tell him to wait until hurricane Francis visits there. HEY! I just remembered! The Passion of the Christ comes out tomorrow! Or..was it today.. chit, I hope it's tomorrow! If it was today, they'll be sold out around here I bet until next shipment.. BAH on my memory!

It was a pretty hard day here today. Bon and I quarrelled, I think she doesn't help me enough here in the house, I want her to clean up her own messes, and she thinks that since I clean up after Sarah's babies, I should clean up after her too. I wish she'd stop thinking like that, e-gads!

Shannon came out to Lisa's tonight.. I escaped for a while to go see Lisa and just talk and have coffee without the babies.. her (shannon's) house burned down last week.. the gal lost every material thing they had. Thank God though, that no one was hurt. That was a mighty big blessing.

Mom's doing pretty good. *grins* SHE IS! She's still not behaving though.
*big fat false sigh*

The babies are fine, Mikyla, as always kept me laughing today.. that kid's something else. She was jumping on my bed earlier today, I told her to stop before she fell.. she didn't listen and fell, bumping her head on the trunk. It scared me, but when she came running to me crying, I checked her, thankfully she was fine.. she said, "Oh mammy you were right, I did fall and busted my head! I won't jump there again!"

Mallory. She still has more hands than she has teeth, but she's a sweety too...
Still bringing us food, snacks, blankets, socks, trying to mother us. If she were one of the characters in the Little Women story, she'd be Beth. Mikyla would be Jo.. Breanna would be Meg, and .. well.. we don't have one who would be Amy.
NOOOO Sarah, we don't NEED one who would be Amy, don't even LOOK like you're thinking about having another one!! LOL

Joleybean is going everywhere he wants to go.. walking and even running, this wild looking walk, his neck stuck way out, his arms outstretched like Frankenstein, to keep his balance, he's so comical to watch, always smiling, if not laughing right out loud that he's accomplished not only standing alone, but going any dang where he wants! He's a good baby.. he really is.

The girls are here spending the night with me tonight, Joel's in his room sleeping, the house is quiet now. Mallory is already sleeping but Mikyla is still watching Finding Nemo. She's almost asleep. They were wore out.. Sarah said Mik didn't go to sleep until 3 this morning, and they got back up at 6. No naps today, so they'll sleep late tomorrow. Unless the phone or doorbell wakes them up.

It looked like it was going to storm all day today, but we didn't get any rain.. just the big dark clouds. It was nice, not overly hot or cool, just right. I love fall weather the best. :)

Well, I've yammered enough for one night. Goodbye August of 2004. Hello Fall.
