tomorrow is Thursday? I only work half a day tomorrow since I have to work half a day on Saturday. Oh well. Saturdays are fun. This weekend will be busy because it's Howdy Neighbor Days in the tiny town where I work. Tonight began the carnival rides and they're selling food and having all kinds of activities through Saturday night. Maybe we can all go out on Friday night and Daniel can ride the carnival rides.
We've decided to make plans to hit the Gulf of Mexico in May 2010. We fell in love with the beach! I've emailed a realtor today asking her to find us a rental near the water. Our budget isn't huge but we ought to be able to get something nice. All we need is someplace to sleep, a kitchen, living area to crash into and of course, a television for Daniel. We hope that the neighbor girl next door can come with us. She and Daniel would have a blast together.
Today was a busy day for me. I needed to go down my mom's to get groceries for her; she hasn't been well lately and is so bad off that she can't even walk (so she says). This morning when I popped in, she was sitting in her recliner eating toast, so she made it to the kitchen and then back to the living room. It's so hard to be a daughter sometimes. As soon as I came in with her groceries, she booted me out of the house. She didn't want me there. She wanted me to get her darned groceries but that was all she wanted from me...so I left. Not much else I can do. Besides complain LOL
Daniel has survived two days of being a 5th grader. Tonight he had math homework. Luckily, Ron came home while he was doing it and finished helping him. I am NOT a math person! Ask me about writing or spelling and I can do it, but math is NOT a friend of mine.
Dinner tonight was a tuna macaroni casserole. It was pretty good. I'm not nuts about tuna but it has a lot of protein, so I force myself to eat it at least once a month. Daniel hates tuna (I swear he's never even tried it LOL) so he made himself a grilled cheese sandwich. Thankfully he can take care of himself sometimes!
Oh well, that's life here in the Burke household for now.
Hasta luego!
