Sunday was another beautiful day and I had to spend it driving back to Mississippi.. well at least next week I won't be driving on Sunday. I had a nice pleasant drive and got home to be be greeted by Blake only ... seems Kyle was at his girlfriends house and Chris had gotten called in to work. I started on my list of stuff to do before I take off back to Bama for vacation on Friday. I made a few calls to invite family and friends to a baby shower at THE LAKEHOUSE next Sunday for Brandon and Christy's twin boys. Made my walmart list, also. The boys were off grounding for the weekend so we watched a movie Freedom Writers.. was a very good movie... even Kyle said it was good he had watched it the night before and watched it again with me. After we went to bed, I got a call from work that woke me and Blake ... to let me know the plant was down and I would be working 12 hr shifts this week... not in my plans at all, lol.
Monday was very busy at work but I managed to get the shower cake ordered. Talked to sister Sue and they did deliver my new sofa. Confirmed my plans with Tracy for the upcoming weekend and following week. It appears I will be working 12 hrs thru Thursday so I will have to be really organised and make good use of my time at night to be packed and ready to roll on Friday soon as I can get kids gathered. I am really looking forward to a week with kids on the lake. I know its just not long until they won't be interested in spending time with Mamaw... so I take it while I can and make the best of it.
Tuesday was our 26th Anniversary... Pat was afraid he would miss it or could not get out on his cell or something so he wished me a Happy Anniversary on Monday afternoon just in case, lol. Then On Tuesday morning soon as I got a chance to call him my cell rang and I answered it Happy Anniversary, lol. He actually thought he was gonna get a step ahead of me, lol. No big deal this year I guess ... but the main reason I was in Bama last weekend was to enjoy some quality time before the holiday weekend.

I worked long all week even had to workin the Control Room on Thursday .... bt I got off at regular time and gathered the boys and we headed for THE LAKEHOUSE about 5 om on Thursday. I will say that was the quietest trip we ever had. All 4 of them had mp3 players ... those are great... and I was able to multi task and listen to 4 dif styles music at the same time, lol. Ilet Kyle drive part of the way and he did really good. We had a safe trip and got there about 1030. Tanner was so excited with all the new stuff in the house... he had to call his Mom. He looked at the microwave above the stove and said well that will never work, lol case he thought he was not tall enough to open the door.... but he could reach... it will just be a few years and he will be just fine.Ofcourse I listened to many jokes about short Mamaw and how do I reach this or that , etc. Papaw was in the middle of putting up my light over my table and was waiting for help. Kyle helped him and it was like midnight before we got in bed and we knew some had to be up at 4 to go to work.
Saturday morning 4 am Papaw and Kyle were up and packing lunch for a work day and OH MY GOSH!!!!!! Tyler ws awake and coherent and in a good mood eating cereal and helping see them off, lol. Tanner woke as well and he stayed awaker to watch the sun rise before going back to sleep. Tyler crashed after Papaw and Kyle left and slept til noon. Blake Tanner and I went to Walmart after we slept a few more hours and got some necessary things like water guns and water balloons. The boys were a big help with the groceries as I knew they would be. we put away our stuff got our lunch and made our way to the lake all set for the jet ski's......well much to our dissapointment we could not get either one to start,lol so we just swam and sunned and relaxed til Papaw came in which was only gonna be a couple hours.
Kyle was a dirty boy, lol had dirt head to toe but seemed he enjoyed his 1st day at work. Seems he and Josh have made some plans on a double date... thats what I am talking about ..you go guys!!!!! Papaw got the jetski's going and all got a ride, should be lots to report over the next few days so I may even decide to do a daily report while I am on vacation. I will post a few pictures, I can think of many I wish I had taken ... guess I am not so organised yet, lol.
