Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I'm a day late and still recovering from the turkey hangover, but wanted to post here to say that I hope those who read this little blog of mine had a wonderful holiday. Sorry to be scarce, I've been so tired lately. Vern took the week off from work - he's needed a break. The kids are enjoying having their dad around for more than dinner and bedtime. A good thing. :)
I've been so grateful for the friends who've kept me (somewhat) sane through these last few weeks. The guys I'm thinking of will never see this, but here's a /hug /poke /squish and big thanks to them anyways. :)

Have a great day. :)

Done

Little Vern is done wearing his brace. His collarbone is almost fully healed & he's back to being his wild and crazy self! He had a hard time not being allowed to run, jump, climb etc. while it was healing.

Brandon's done with his first quarter of High school. He did really well. We're proud of him. Go B!

Kirsten goes back on track on Monday. She was about done being stuck at home all day with the little boys and me anyway. lol

I wish I could say that the work on our ceiling has been done, but not yet. :p The roof's fixed though. No more leak!

I'm about done with my glass of pepsi, and am ready to go curl up with a book before bed.

'Night!
