I hope everyone had a good 3 day weekend. We had a busy one! We started the weekend at the Schilling's house on Friday night..the guys played cornhole, the kids played outside and the gals just gabbed! On Saturday I took Jillian for her 5 yr pics and then we went to her football game...it was a hot day for cheering but she doesn't seem to mind. Last night a big group met up at the pool and ordered pizza. Today was our neighborhood Labor Day party....it was a great day...I am feeling quite toasty tonight after spending all day in the sun. This is the last day that our pool is open...we have had a great summer full of lots of fun memories. Have I mentioned all of us in the neighborhood are being attacked by "Itch Mites"? These are crazy little bugs that you cannot see or feel but once they bite you they leave huge red patches that get sore...today one popped up on my neck...it looks like a big, sore pimple...nice! I guess these critters live on Oak Trees and they are so much worse this year because we are not getting any rain. Bret has these bites all over his back...I don't have as many but I sure have them in some "odd" places...

I am looking forward to a short work week. I am flying down to Georgia on Thursday evening. I will play Bunco with my old group on Friday night and then on Saturday a couple girls and I are going up to the North Georgia Mountains to stay in Linda and Seth's beautiful cabin...it will be so nice to get down there and see everyone. I am a little concerned about the weather...let's see...the last getaway weekend I planned was back in March and we had 15" of snow...now I finally plan another weekend and there are huricane's popping up everywhere...just my luck. Hopefully, things will go as planned and these new storms will not make landfall....I was glad today to see that things in the Gulf are not as bad as they anticipated!

My friend, Vicki, and I were interviewed by the local paper this past week. It was really supposed to be an article about our Mom's Group participating in the walk but it really ended up being more about my breast cancer journey...here is a link to the article if you're interested.

I have to say that I hate that picture and the idea of it being in a newspaper...I swear there are days that I see pictures of myself and it just looks like a total stranger to me...I don't think I will get used to this short hair any time soon.

Happy Birthday to my Mom tomorrow - I hope you have a nice day and sorry we can't be together on your special day! We love you!

Well, it's been a busy weekend so I am going to sign off...have a good week!
