Crazy, Nuts and all in between!

Wowzers my head seems to be spinning!  It's been so crazy lately.  It never seems to settle down around here, but this is NUTS.  My Dr's apts, meetings for my meetings we are starting, school events, PTO, Mom's having surgery today, Bill's in the fields busy as ever, Cooking, cleaning, preparing for the Vendor Blender at the end of the month, it seems like this madness will NEVER end.  I am just going to have to start saying NO.  No I can't do things.  No I can't take on anymore.  My phones calendar is FULL of crap to do daily, until the end of the month.  It's crazy.  Why is there something every day?  Who signed me up for all this crap?  Ha ha ha

Mom gets her gallbladder out this morning.  Please say a prayer for her fast surgery, and speedy recovery.  I can't be there with her as I have a Dr's apt of my own, and no sitter for Brody, so here I sit on pins and needles praying for her.  She's with Carla Rodeffer, so she's in good hands! 

Tonight I head to Galesburg to a support group meeting.  It will more than likely be the last meeting there I get to attend because I am starting up our own group locally.  I am headed there to get some suggestions of how to run things locally for us.  It has to be tailored to meet the needs of all kinds of surgical weight loss, so I hope we can do that for everyone.  Most of all just getting together with other people who are going through all the rapid changes you are, is super important.  I think our group will be a super success if we get regulars to attend and have a good crowd.  I am excited to see how it turns out.  I know the press release went out this week to all the local media, so we will see what the public word of mouth does to increase our population at meetings. 

I miss my hunny.  He's been working so much lately.  I hate this time of year, but love the fact that we know he's rolling in the money as every hour passes, makes it kinda a catch 22.  He's so thrilled with his yields so far.  He says things are much better than he expected for a few of our farms.  This made me smile to see him so happy about all that. 

Last night I made up chicken and noodles to take to my mom's and some to grandma Trone for supper and then I am taking some to Beverly because she's keeping the boys for me tonight while I go to the Galesburg meeting and this way, she won't have to cook for them or worry about fixing supper while they are there.  Just heat it up and serve.  Bill and I tried a bite last night and boy was it yummy!  I saved some extra shredded chicken and plan on making like some home made pot pies with it.  Something like a creamy chicken casserole with some biscuits or something on top.  The boys really enjoy stuff like that and I figure it would be easy enough for mom to eat after surgery.  She's not going to feel like cooking for a few days, so I got to take care of her and Dennis. 

In a week we go to the Psychic.  I am so excited.  I can't wait.  I hope I hear what I want to hear and nothing bad!  I don't want to know anything bad! 

Fall colors are starting to POP.  Joe's getting senior pics taken on the 14th too, and I think they will be PERFECT!  It's so beautiful out there!  I think it will just look amazing in the nature and around the farm.  He's such a poser too, so it should be a fun shoot for him.  Brandi Johnson is going to do them for him and she takes AMAZING photos so they will rock!

I am about to go nuts because there is a random dog barking someplace in the distance outside.  Funny thing is we don't have neighbors for miles so I'm not sure where this damn dog is coming from but it won't shut up and has been barking ALL night long.  Annoying.  It's driving me batty listening to it. It is starting to sound a bit hoarse though, so maybe before long I won't hear it anymore.  Who knows where it is, someplace off in the distance, but it just keeps barking and barking and barking. 

I love having these crops out and finally being able to see for MILES in all directions again.  I love our home and where we sit.  We have the perfect view all around us.  It's pretty spectacular actually.  Just nature as far as the eyes can see.

Well time to get breakfast going and Bill's coffee made.  He will be hopping out of bed soon.
