Cracker Barrel, I could go for some of that!

I want some Cracker Barrel! I went there a few weekends ago, and it was wonderful. I don't go there enough. I love the country store. That place just makes you feel so comforted. I want one of those rocking chairs please. I just had to remark on the Cracker Barrel:)

Okay. Week one done, check. Thank God! I am very intimidated with this new semester. My math class is like a statistics, financial, chart/graph doing class. Nothing like I expected. Which is fine by me. I am intrigued with it at this time. English is the same, reading a lot, responding to the readings, posting class discussions, writing papers, etc. Now biology, yeah. That class scares me a bit. I have been out of any kind of science course since I was a sophomore in high school? A really long time. So this week I have felt like a fish out of water. I pray that I will find my routine with that class soon, and to remember the basics of biology. I also have to buy a book on the basics of chemistry, because apparently, we will be doing a lot of bio-chem. I have never taken a chemistry class. It wasn't required as a pre-req for this course. I plan on taking my chem class next semester. I know I can learn, and I should be fine, but like I said, I am a fish out of water, at this moment. To be continued...

Jeff and the kids had to adjust again with me being at school twice a week for a whole day (not like summer school when I was only gone for a few hours, and still made it home for dinner). On Tuesday, during my break, Jeff called and told me to talk to the kids because they were very upset that I wasn't home. How sweet. They really do appreciate their Mama! Yesterday the kids spent the day outside with Jeff; while Jeff was doing yard work. I love it when he takes the time to beautify our property. He is trimming the bases of the pinon pines and juniper trees to make a less of a fire danger. So instead of looking like massive bushes, they will look like trees:) He has already trimmed like six trees yesterday. That's my man!

I am so ready for autumn. I want the fall colors and the cool breezes. Sweatshirt and sweater weather. I want the comforting scents of pumpkin pie/bread and other baked goods that go with the season. The decorating with scarecrows, pumpkins, fall wreaths. Light a seasonal candle (which I have already started, pumpkin spice). I can't help myself! Fall is my favorite season! So I think I am going to change my background to my blog, with a fall scene. It is only Aug. 28th, and Fall isn't official until Sept. 22nd. So sue me:)

Love it when my brother comes out here!

Really cool pictures of our steam engine and railroad.

Having some ice cream--yum!

you gotta love "The Jerk!"

The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! Harry Hartounian: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing. Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now. [the Sniper points to Navin's name in the phone book] Sniper: Johnson, Navin R... sounds like a typical bastard.

There are a lot of idiots in the world.

Is it just me, or are the liberal democrats whining and complaining because not everybody agrees with their stupid universal, socialist health care bill?! Thank God we have people that are finally waking up from their slumber and getting angry! Oh, but the new thing is to call those people, that oppose (I am one of them), the mob. Scary. Yet when President Bush was in office, the crazy libs could act out; yell out; scream; have riots; and all of that was acceptable; of coarse, because they are just demonstrating their free rights of expression. Right. Such a double standard. I really do fear with what is happening with our country. I don't want to live in a socialist nation thank you very much.
Anyway, moving off of that subject for the moment.

Next week is my last week of summer school. Yip-ye-yi-yeah!

The kids are doing well. Causing distruction and uproar, like they should. That is what kids do.

Jeff is doing well too. He is just adorable and I love him:)

All in all, not too much happening.
