Over The Moon

The last week or so has been really wonderful! Busy as all get out, but just wonderful.

I was COMPLETELY booked up at the office this week -- I didn't have one opening! I can't wait for our new girl to get started though. I'm just booked out too far. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later. I want my people to be able to make appointments when they want. I also got a small raise this week, and I'm over the moon about it! Every little bit helps in this economy, that's for sure.

Volleyball was very busy this week as well. My girls had a game on Monday against Union Dugger (WIN) and a game against Washington Catholic on Thursday (WIN). Those two wins couldn't have come at a better time. The last couple games have been tough, and we have two really important weeks coming up. Barr-Reeve on Tuesday night is going to be a good game! We also played in a tournament at Henryville on Saturday with lots of tough teams -- And they WON AGAIN! Way to go girls! They are the only team in ND history to win two tourneys in one season. I am so proud of them!

Henryville Tourney Champs! That makes us 13-4 for the season!

We also got to talk to Dwain on Friday! I chatted with him on Facebook between my morning patients, but Mom got to talk to him for about an hour. It's always so great to hear from him, even if we only talk for a few minutes. As soon as I get this post finished, I'm going to spend the rest of the morning getting Care Packages ready to ship. I have several more to go, but I should have them all sent by the end of the week -- Hopefully! All that junk food sitting in a pile in my living room has GOT to go. I can't look at it anymore without wanting to eat it!

Tim and I have also been doing a lot of scouting to see how the deer are moving. Bow season starts October 1st. We have less than two weeks, and I know I'm excited, but Tim might come apart at the seams if time doesn't fly. He has got the fever, that's for sure. I think that Monster Bucks has been in our DVD player for weeks. I sure did pick a hunter, but we'll never go hungry. We'll be eating backstraps before we know it!

I think that's all for today. Tim just woke up from a power nap, so I'm going to get started on lunch -- And Care Packages. I have another busy week ahead of me. I've got to hit up Wal-Mart tonight, then my girls play Barr-Reeve tomorrow, Tim is off Wednesday and Thursday, and then I'm helping out at practice on Friday (let's hope I'm not as sore this week as I was last week). Yup, I'm gonna be busy! Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week.   :^)
Operation Saheeb -- Five Months, One Week, One Day

Peas in a Pod

As usual, I have been very busy lately. There just aren't very many days where I'm not running all over God's creation. Sometimes it gets a little crazy, but it makes time go faster, which is great because that gets Dwain home that much sooner.

Work has been AWESOME! My schedule is booked up for the next two weeks or so, and I love it! What can I say? I love my job! My people mean the world to me and I would do absolutely anything for any of them. I am still looking forward to getting our new massage therapist, because I hate not being able to get someone an appointment because we are too busy. It's just bad for business to tell someone that we don't have ANYTHING for two weeks. But, that will hopefully change when we get someone else in there helping me out.

Volleyball is the main reason that I am so stinking busy right now. My girls are having games two or three nights a week, and that just really cuts into my "productive" time. BUT I LOVE IT! I am so happy to be coaching! The girls are doing well, but they could be doing better. They are struggling a little bit, but we tweaked the rotation and I am positive that it will make a difference. We should come away with two more wins this week. There are home games tomorrow (Monday) and Thursday night. Good Luck Cougars!!

I just want everyone to know that I am the only creature in my house that is NOT sleeping. Tim stayed home from work tonight because his allergies are KILLING him, and he is taking a "Benadryl" nap on the couch right now. Dixie is zonked out on her bed with Chuck. I think it's adorable that they sleep together. They are like peas in a pod!! I will be going to bed soon, but I want to finish this post first.

Hmm. What haven't I talked about?

My couponing is going great! I scored some really great deals this week. I saved us a ton of money on batteries for Tim's trail cameras by price-matching and using coupons. He should be good to go for the rest of the year -- Hopefully! I also got some great free stuff! You just can't pass up free stuff. We had a "Coupon Clippers of Daviess County" meeting at Gatti's yesterday, but I must have picked a bad date/time for the meeting because we didn't have very many people show up. The next one should be better! In the meantime, I'm going to keep saving lots of money! I love saving my family money, but I also love being able to save money for others. Anytime I can help out someone else is always a good time in my book.

Dwain's homecoming date is getting closer and closer! I seriously CANNOT WAIT to see him again. He told us last weekend that he isn't planning on coming home (to Daviess County) until around Christmas, but he will be back in North Carolina before too long (A month and a half-ish) and we will for sure be going to see him. He is wanting to save his days off for when he gets out so he can get out earlier. Sounds smart to me! I have so, so many care packages to get sent to him. I think I might have to ship one or two a day for the rest of the month to get everything that everyone has donated sent to him. The people in our community are amazing. I still have people donating money for shipping and bringing me things to send to him. It's just incredible! I have been playing with the idea of having "We're Proud of You, Dwain" shirts made for the people who want them. I know that a lot of people love him, and it might be nice to have a way to show it. What do you think??

I also want to wish my beautiful mother a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Her birthday was actually Tuesday, but I can't tell her enough that I love her! I have tried to mold myself into someone like her, and I just pray that someday I can do as much for my family as she does for hers. She is one of the most incredible people I know. A wonderful role-model. She has given so much of herself to those around her, and she asks for nothing in return. Words can't really describe it. I don't only have an amazing mother, but I have a best friend as well. How lucky am I? I love you Momma! I hope you have many, many more birthdays!

I think it's about time for bed. I have a busy week ahead of me, and I really need to get some sleep. I hope that you all have a great week! I'm sure that I will have lots to tell you the next time I write -- Hopefully, it's sooner rather than later, but I'm not making any guarantees!   :^D
