Just now editing and here I go.....

Ok so I have not been very faithful to my blogging lately. This is our first night without Blair and I am hoping I am going to have a little more time on my hands.It has been a hectic summer so I am going to make a list of all the things that have caused me stress and I hope it makes me feel better.
Late May-- small car wreck in Suburban, not my fault, but still had to have body work.
June 10-- picked up fixed car went to get hair cut and had a flat. Wylie tire to rescue but they said new tires were needed. $600.00 later
June 15-- Suburban overheated on way home from Lubbock. One tow and $2,000 later--- good to go.
June 24-- picked up car in time for New Orleans trip, 1300 miles later back home. A good friend passed away while we were away.
Late June-- Letter from IRS.... Tax error owed IRS another $3,000
July/ August-- skunk smells in and out of house, day whatever of 100 heat..
August 1st-12--  5:00 am wake up call for Garrett, 982 pb and j sandwiches made, helped with one tailgate party, two parking lot feeds and one pool party
August 15 Blair had a wreck on I-30 she was fine but Lexus totaled
August 14 One A/C unit not working properly
August 19 one pool party
August 22 first week of school for Gar--- 7:00 am not so bad.
Thursday one of many Sam's runs.
Aug 26-- Scrambled up 5 lbs of hamburger for Blair to freeze, made one potatoes casserole and baked beans. Ran and opened up the church, loaded tv stand from storage at store, served at funeral, helped make Friday football food, served the food, 45 minutes at home, hot as all get out ballgame, home at 11:00 loaded Blair's car and finally went to bed at 1:00 am
Saturday 5:00 am wake up call. Stephenville bound by 5:40. Worked all day unpacking, got Blair settled and home at 11:30.
Sunday church, nap, left to run to Royse with Nene and Tammy and came home and found at thief had been here.
Seems like we are in a season of new experiences, one thing after the next. Trying not to complain because in so many cases things could have been alot worse. This afternoon someone decided to take an uninvited stroll thur our home and take my jewelry box, camera, gifts cards and one of Gar's money jars. Garrett was out in the pasture and we had just ran over to Royse to eat.

So here I am on November 21st and I am just now completing this....makes me stress just reading it!
Ended up with 10 weeks of Friday football feeds, 10 lost football games, two touchdowns, one parent's weekend, new Sunday school class with several boys, dove hunting breakfast, babysitting kids and overall lots of fun. Thankful the season of stresses seemed to pass us up this fall...... I forgot one hurt rib and one sprained ankle........
