Sept 22, 1968-2008 = 40 years

Don't know if I should call them friends or enemies but I had two little mice in the house on Monday morning. Signs all over and black balloons and streamers -signs on the mailbox and garage - sign on van that said Honk Belinda is 40 that I didn't realize until after dinner. My underwear was everywear and our bed was full of rice. I had just put on my new sheets that I received for my birthday which I love and it was full of rice. I had prune juice and stool softener in the bathroom.

And this was my favorite - my new Victoria Secret's bra which I had only worn once yet was on Mike's deer - NICE - yes my bras were everywhere in the house as well. and if that wasn't enough - Marcus had a football game that night and the same two showed up at the game with a wheelchair for me and black balloons and black pompoms and everyone was wearing black - how did everyone know ??????????????? At half time they wheeled me to the restroom and kept telling me that I was a lard and hard to push around - come to find out that my friend had the brake on the whole time - NOW who is old and can't even remember to put the brake off - Was a very fun day and yes I am 40 and I think it will be OK.

Salsa - Salsa - Salsa

It's salsa time and to date we have canned 83 pints of salsa - we are now going to switch to Spaghetti sauce - we have enough salsa to eat and share for awhile. Between canning and football games and volleyball games - we have no time to clean house - busy doing a quick pick up right now before Mike gets back from Arkansas - he just texted me he was in Iowa already - I better keep up the pick up or he might have to help when he gets here :)

I'm still here :)

Jamie's first day of school was Aug. 21

Marcus' first day of school was Aug. 25 - he was not impressed that I needed a picture but took one anyway

Wed is church night and Mike and I are young peoples leaders so twice a month we are there.

So sorry for not posting in awhile - I have been busy painting and staining also - I know not a good excuse but one anyway. We also have MANY tomatoes and potatoes. Last night (Saturday) mike and i spend the evening finding our kitchen counter back - we canned 19 pints of salsa and made potato salad - we started around 5:30 and had all cleaned up and crashed at 10:30 so not too bad. So thankful he helps with it all - it would have taken me LOTS longer with no help.
