All, caught up, at work...I am liking it better. I have a four day weekend, the boss has ran out of things for me and she is concentrating on getting any tax extension returns out and quarterly taxes paid. Which means, for me anyway, that next week I can start cleaning out the 1999 tax documents. YEAH! My big project yesterday was, playing on the internet...I got to research "How to remove photo's from the sticky paged photo albums." If anyone has any idea, I would sure like to know an easier way then Microwaving them.

The household is holding up, Byrd has asks often if I am still working. So no, the world did not fall apart when mom went back to work, it is not effecting the family at all. The house is still in okay shape, but I am not going to clean it. That will be up to the whole family this weekend.

The house has been a little odd lately, it must be the freezing temperatures, the kids and John are in bed by 8 and asleep by 9, the girls have even been taking naps after school. I think their metabolism's are slowing down and we are going to have a long winter. It probably doesn't help that everyone is home by 4pm and that makes the evening long.

I am glad that it is October, just for the fact that good TV is back, who has been watching Hero's?

My goal this year was to get my ALL photo's organized so I can get them in scrapbooks. I have always said it was nice to store them on CD's but with the new Windows VISTA, I am afraid I will be able to access any of it in 5 or 10 years. So I am spend god awful amounts of money on reprinting any old photos, that were lost or missplaces or used for school projects. I want them in books so they will last for years. I am feeling accomplished, for it is only October, and I have my photo's in order (or on order) and have started scrap booking our 2007 year. Rose has joined me in this hobby and Tay is developing the want; but the "is it worth the time" question is popping up. She showed real interest when she saw that I was printing off some old Blogs and putting them in the scrapbooks. I even added your comments you left. In the years to come I think they all will appreciate the work. My next goal is to pull out the memorabilia so that can be added... 5th grade graduation, camp letters...that sort of thing. With my parents traveling, it makes me want to dig out our photo's, of our trip down the Alcan. Maybe I should start scrap booking the old day in stead of 2007?

  1. I've got the first season of Heros on DVD and have watched the first three or four episodes. I'm really liking watching TV shows on DVD so I can watch them whenever.

  2. I agree with you on the importance of getting the photos organized! I imagine you have quite a job ahead of you! My DREAM goal is to transfer all of my photos to disk then make paper copies. I am not sure I am up for copying my blogs though! Good luck with your task and looking forward to seeing some of those old photos!

  7. Valette... I can't watch DVD tV shows...it must be that there is no anticipation. TV stretchs the story out.

    Fish Taxi - Dad has the new Vista...I hear it is similar to using a Mac. He only let me take a little peek.
