Meaningless rantings of a cabin fevered Mom.

uuuummmmmm well hey, i guess summer was fun while it lasted? Does this mean im behind starting my Christmas shopping?? o.0 OI to the VEY!

sooooo, we went to see Amy this weekend. Actually we went on a LOOOOONG road trip and happened to find Amy right in the middle of it, heehehehe.Yes, we ( mom and myself) left her house in Bomoseen at 1am saturday morning, and drove and drove and drove for 12 hours till we got to where Amy is now residing in Norfolk Virginia. We were bringing her some more of her things, to help her set up home. some of those things were a queen size bed frame, box spring, and mattress, a dresser, and some other various items, and it was supposed to rain the entire trip, torrential downpour really.

No one got hurt no serious monetary damage, but pretty cool to look at the aftermath. Here is a pic of what the garden behind our house looked like afterwards .... sad sad sunflowers :( Oh, and this is Sammy in Clarie's, LOL she LOVES that store, could be expensive :)

School violence was a couple of punches thrown in the h allways over a girl or a game. Pre-911...... Airplanes in the sky were white noise Pre-Parenthood ..... Multi-tasking was a fun trick Pre-April 16th 2007..... Wind was neat, and wind was white noise, and wind meant the storm was near over ...... Around 730am in the morning my best friend called me in a panic, asking if we were ok , if we had seen any funnel clouds. Funnel Clouds?!?! Let me set this up for you. Sunday night the forecast was calling for 20" of w et heavy snow, and most likely widespread power outages. So i filled up pots of water, dug out the candles and flashlights, made su...
