3rd Week of JULY

I had a quiet weekend and was feeling much better by Monday. The work week was the same as usual, other than I did escape a interview with the INPO group that is in for 2 weeks evaluating our plant and processes. Brooke was at Tracy's most of the time but did come home to sleep a couple nights. Chris got called in to work night shift on all his on call days, so we kinda met in passing one leaving for work as the other got home from work, lol. Tanner and Tracy had birthdays this week, but I had given them both early presents, lol. Thursday Blake came home and Tanner came to the house as well to be ready to leave for Bama early Friday morning. We left at 445 a.m. and had a pretty good trip, I figured the kids would sleep more than they did. Its quiet a difference driving by myself and with a bunch of kids. I am not sure if my quiet week spoiled me or what but the noise has really been getting on my nerves this weekend, lol.
We got to Jasper at 9:45. I had planned to take the 3 kids I had with me shopping for a school outfit and shoes, but I found out Blake had no shoes to wear to go buy shoes. I had to go buy him a cheap pair of shoes at Kmart to wear to the shoes store, then Tanner took his crocs off and ran all over the mall barefoot, lol. We had really good luck and got some real good buys, I just enjoy shopping in Jasper so much more than Vicksburg. I got all three of the kids 2 outfits and shoes well within what I wanted to spend. Tanner, just has to run that mouth and after 5 hrs in a car with him of which 3 he talked and 2 hours shopping with him I needed a break. We got to the lake just as Pat and Kyle were leaving to go get pay checks and run a few errands. It started to storm a bit and rain about the time we got to the lakehouse. Soon as we ate our lunch from JACK'S, I went to my room and shut the door for some quiet, lol. We did not get to play on the lake due to weather. Friday night Kyle and I went to get his school shopping done....he drove me in his truck. We had real good luck as well and got him 2 outfits at GOODY'S. We picked up pizza for supper and back to the lake we went to chill for the night. No photo's again this week but surely I will have a few for next week.
