Goodbye September...Hello October

September is gone and I mainly posted on Wednesdays and by doing that I didn't post about some other things, so I will play catch up right now :) September was a pretty good month and we constantly had things to do, which isn't always a bad thing. Todd and I spend A LOT of time talking on the phone and chatting on the computer, Skype and Yahoo Messenger are great :) I babysit 2 days a week and there is always something to do around the house and errands to do. We've had several family dinners/cook outs, which were great. My Uncle turned 75 and we surprised him with balloons and a homemade peanut butter pie!! I must say for the most part I LOVE being home!! We have had several furry additions to the family. 2 were planned, they are kitty sisters who were born on Todd's birthday this year. Their names are Pepsi and Ella and I have PLENTY of pictures to post soon!! The newest addition was a total surprise. Last Saturday night Chels and I were out getting potting soil out of the garage when we heard a meow, and out from under the Equisnot came a skinny, sweet PREGNANT cat!!! Well if you know me, then you know there was no way I was gonna take a chance on her being attacked or ran over on the road. So we got her some food and water, checked her over and put her in a kennel, made a trip to wal mart for several items. Neeedless to say she is safely quarantined from the rest of the furry family in the basement with all the comforts that an expecting kitty should have and then some!! She is so incredibly loving and pretty!! I'll keep you updated on her and the girls did name her Eden. I have saved the best part of September for last and it involves the word RETIREMENT and no we have not figured out if Todd will be able to do that next year. But my Daddy was FINALLY able to retire after almost 46 years!! We are all very happy for him and we are grateful to be home to share this with him, it's going to be an adjustment, especially after working 3rd shift for that long, but I think he is up for it :) I must say it is great to be able to spend more time with him!! YAY for retirement :) Well it's just about time to try to get my brain to slow down so I can sleep. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!!
