Tonight we went to the high school football game.  And, wouldn’t you know it, as soon as we sat down it started to rain and it rained the whole time!!  I was soaked and cold by the time we left.  I was in shorts, but at least I brought a hoody with me so it wasn’t too bad, but I wish I left my purse in the truck.  I had that in my lap and I hovered over it so it wouldn’t get wet.  Wasn’t not a fun night for me, but we did win by 1 point in the last quarter so it was an exciting game!

Today as soon as I got home this morning from taking the boys to school and working out, I made cookies for Bridget’s reception tomorrow and then I made two pizza’s for the Amish crew that works in our woods.  I then did all the dishes and 2 loads of laundry and was exhausted by 2pm!  I ended up sitting on the computer till it was time to cook again!  I just made chicken breasts on the grill with some rice and rolls.

First week of school is all done and I guess the boys are doing okay.  I hope they both do well this year.  Joe is now taking the same med’s CJ is so I hope it will help him focus more while in school.  I do know that the dose he is on isn’t lasting all day and we can’t change it till next month when we see the doctor again.  I may call him Monday though.  By the time Joe sits down to do his homework, he can’t focus at all!!  But, it’s 7pm because of football practice and dinner and showers and all.  Maybe it won’t be so bad once football is done?  But if he does wrestling, it won’t matter LOL!  I will have to ask the doctor about it when we see him next time.

Well, I am on the same medicine the boys are and I also notice that in the evenings I can’t focus, I stress out over every little thing, to much going on at once makes me frustrated, stressed out and wanting to sit and cry!  LOL!!  But, that is how it used to be all the time but now I can focus on things during the day!  That’s new!  But, I have the same side effects as the boys do on it, I’m NEVER hungry!

My MIL asked me on Sunday if I lost weight, I said no I don’t think so.  But the weird thing was, my watch has been bothering me.  I keep thinking it has come unclasped because it feels loose but when I check it, it’s fine.   We don’t have a scale so when the boys started school I went to the gym and weighed myself.  I have lost 15 pounds!! I was shocked!!!  I haven’t worked out all summer and I have just been sitting on the couch on my computer! LOL!  I guess I just haven’t been hungry.  I will eat a bowl of cereal and then get busy for the day and I find myself making dinner and I will realize that I never ate since the bowl of cereal that morning.  When I do eat, it isn’t much and I’m full and just don’t want to eat.  Now I know how CJ felt when I was forcing him to eat.

He’s back to not eating again too.  I think this might help Joe lose some weight though.  Today he told me that people treat him different this year since he isn’t “fat” any more.  He shoot up over 3″ and has thinned out.  He also has a deeper voice than CJ.  I never noticed before but the whole football team does LOL!  They tease CJ because his younger brothers voice is deeper than his.  Thank God it really doesn’t bother him.

On Tuesday I took the boys to the Dermatologist because they are breaking out from wearing football helmets.  Second day of school and they’re going to be late!  They weren’t happy about it but what can you do.  Their appointment was at 8:30 so that wasn’t too bad.

Found out that the medicine that they gave CJ back in May, he was supposed to STAY on it!! I took him off once we finished the bottle.  I had no idea he was to keep on it!  He wouldn’t be having so much problems had I kept him on the medicine!  He is also supposed to use his cream every night and he hasn’t been.

Joe got some med’s too and a wash and cream.  Joe has these horrible pimples all over his upper legs, butt, his sides and under his arms.  They hurt and are big.  Seems these are infected hair roots from tight clothes and sweating, so that is why he has the wash.  I hope it helps!  I’m hoping the med’s don’t make Joe sick, it can cause diarrhea, but he’s allergic to amoxicillin so he can’t take that like CJ does.  We’ll see how it goes.

I am FINALLY done writing all those blog posts/articles for people.  I finished yesterday and it’s nice not to HAVE to get those done.  I am taking some time off to catch up on projects I have put off because I was too busy.

Chuck turns 40 this Saturday and his sister Bridget’s wedding is this Saturday!  How annoying!!!  Really, she is ALREADY married, they got married last year on the 29th of August at the courthouse in Texas.  So, since my in-laws have already paid for all these dresses and such, she had better have a wedding!!  LOL!!  They have been waiting for Bridget’s divorce to get finalized and it took a few years.

Just sucks that it’s on his 40th!  I wanted us to go away this weekend for his birthday.  What a bummer!  Tonight is the rehearsal dinner and she is having cake and a kind of “party” for him.  That sucks too cuz I wanted to do something special for his birthday.  Oh well!  I guess I will live!

The dinner is pizza, oh yeah can’t wait for that! LOL!!  My MIL called me last night and wanted me to make rose marina salad for it and I said no way, it has to be made the day before and I wasn’t about to run out and buy everything and cook it up that late at night!  So, I have to go out and get something to bring for it.  I don’t feel like making anything!

I really need to make a shopping list and get some food in this house.  I hate shopping so much that I never do it and then we end up with no food! LOL!  It’s really bad!

Well, was the first day of school.  For the first time ever, summer fly by REALLY fast!  Usually it’s a snail but for some reason not this year.  Could be because of all the writing I was doing all summer.

I got the boys up at 7am and we left at 7:30.  After I dropped them off, I went to the gym.  Haven’t been there all summer!  LOL!  My friends were there and there like WOW, look who’s here!  LOL!!

They had a good day but came home with TONS of papers for me to sign, it took me over an hour to fill them all out!  CRAZY!!  They had math homework, but they had a good day.  They don’t get home till 5pm because they have football practice right after school.

I still have a few things to get for them, but I figured I would after they had their first day.  I will get that stuff tomorrow.  Of course, Joe left his cleats at home so Chuck had to run them to the school!

I didn’t even think to get a picture of them before we left, oh well!

Today was D-Day here in Conneaut.  I almost didn’t go but my friend Elizabeth, who lives 3 hours away told me she was coming.  CJ, Joe and his friend Harding and I went down to watch the big battle at 3pm.  We sat down on the beach and I like being up on the bluffs as you can see much better, but you have to get there really early to get those seats!

The show last year was SO awesome but the planes got in trouble for coming in WAY to close to the beach.  That made it more real!  The would fly in so close and bombs would go off right under the plane!  It was great but I guess someone didn’t think so.  3 planes came really high, couldn’t see them very well, circled twice and left.  Boo Hiss!!!

I can’t believe we have been going to this for 10 years now!!

Here is some pictures.

For football Joe decided he wanted to get another mohawk and we spiked it for a party he went to.  He did decide to cut it off for school so he only had it about 3 weeks.  He didn’t want to get made fun of, so off it went.  Now he wishes he didn’t cut his hair.  He grew it out for over 6 months so he could decide on a style he wanted.  Now, he has to do that all over again.  I don’t mind though because his hair isn’t long and shaggy anymore LOL!

Turned 37 on August 15th. I spent the morning cleaning the whole house and cooking up a lasagna and my birthday cake. I got it all done, including cleaning up the kitchen, in time to go over to the church for the pastors wife’s going away party. The pastor and his wife are retiring and moving to Florida. They have been at our church for 40 years. I was a bit surprised that barely anyone really came! It was for ladies only and I know we have WAY more women in the church than what showed up!

Came home and put in the movie “Knowing” and we watched that and ate our yummy dinner! Then I opened my presents and we had some cake and the boys went to friend’s houses and Chuck and I came home and watch another movie and went to bed! LOL!

So that was my birthday and really I rather enjoyed it! I had a good day, I wasn’t stressed out and I had fun at the party at church so it was a good day!

I seem to be so busy that I just don’t have time to write anymore. Or maybe I’m just sick of writing and don’t want to write anymore! I’m starting to get burnt out on writing articles for other people. I find myself really wanting to do other things then sit here all day writing articles. Facebook keeps me VERY distracted because it’s someplace to just have fun and I don’t have to think about anything LOL! I am now playing pet society along with restaurant city! I do make myself do at least 5 articles a day but I should be doing 10. SIGH! So, that is basically my whole day, here on the computer researching and writing articles for other people’s blogs. I am thinking that once school starts I may just say the heck with it. I wish there was some way I could make money doing something rejuvenating instead of draining!

The other day the movie “Coraline” came from Netflix so I thought the boys and I would watch it. Chuck was working and since it’s a kiddy movie I didn’t think he’d mind. Well, to say that I was shocked would be an understatement! Now, this is a PG movie! We got the 2D version as it does come in 3D. The movie was okay but one part made CJ hide under his blanket totally embarrassed and Joe covered his face! Here is this older lady with HUGE boobs in nothing but a VERY small bikini bottom and pasties to cover the nipples of these huge boobs!!! OMG!!!! I was FLOORED!!! The boys are totally embarrassed and hiding there faces, I am staring with my mouth open in shock! All I could say was, “Well, at least we didn’t get the 3D version!” I mean really she was shaking them and everything!! How can this be PG!!!

The boys started Football practice this week. They got their pads yesterday and the practices have moved to 3-5 instead of 12-1:30. Joe has decided to play this year so they are both playing 8th grade football. I hope the season goes alright for Joe. He seems to be doing okay so far. On Tuesday night we ran to Erie to get them cleats. I can’t believe Joe is a size 12!! They are both taller than me now but not taller than Chuck yet. I am assuming they will be taller though. They are around 5’7″ or so.
