Hey, so, uh yeah...
It's that time of year where the gardens I worked so hard at neglecting need to have some stuff pulled up and out. My kingdom for a hunky gardener to help me out, lol
I'm trying to come here and write more often, I have stuff going on and it's a lof of different types of stuff. Things I just have to deal with. Let's see, I'll do some updating for some of you that have been reading along with me for several years.
My daughter Emma completed her first year in the army in August. Exciting year to say the least! She recently completed her language training and became engaged to a fellow soldier. He is currently in a place of conflict. Not sure I want to write his location. I'll just keep it at that and if you watch the news you can probably assume he has something to do with one of those places. lol She's doing ok with him being deployed. She's thinking that she maybe deployed sometime early next year. But you never know until pretty much before you're going. We'll get to see her on pre-deployment leave so I'll sob all over her then.
Chase is an official High Schooler now. Also he is taking classes at the vo-tech for masonry! Very cool! His attitude is now becoming more of a normal teenager. Like all of a sudden I'm just a ragging mama machine instead of Mommy. Sigh. It was bound to happen, I just have to spend more time with attitude adjustments with him because he is particularly fixed in his outlooks.
George is officially a teenager, lol. Attitude is horrendous, but we are guiding him as he experiences this fight for his indivividuality and independance. I know for a fact I could have it much worse. Doesn't mean I'm going to let him off easy for pulling shit on us.
GrandPa turned 89 on Sept 20th. Still hanging in there, but as with previous years he is doing less and less. He can only sit up in his chair to be fed and has to have oxygen to maintain is sats. He requires total care in order to keep him in fair shape. He remains a DNR/DNH.
As for me, well. work is sparse with this agency but I'm completeing paperwork to join a new one. I've signed up for a course to prep me to be more marketable for working in a medical office. There are some other things that I have going on, but don't want to write about them here. But trust me, they are sweet!
Love you guys!

Glad everything is good for you and fam.
Sounds like a lot. Doesn't seem like Emma's been in the military that long already. Hell... I remember being a couple years behind with her... thinking she was younger than she was. Man, I've seen a lot of kids grow up in my 8 yrs on Xanga!!! Hope her boy is ok and remains that way during his deployment.
Ah teenagers. Glad I have ferrets.
Keeping busy it seems. Good luck with the new job opportunities!
