Payton visit...

Beth was up and at church by 8 am. I got up around 8:45 am and took a shower. We had breakfast and I cleaned out the fridge. I then cleaned the kitchen and gathered all the trash. We loaded up the big screen TV and set it out for the trash man in hope they will take it. It was then time for kickoff. Since the Eagles played on the Sunday night game, we were able to watch the redzone all day. Maggie came over to work on Payton's car and Payton came in to visit with us. we talked about the Disney trip and things to do. Maggie left before the 4 pm games started and we had a great visit with Payton. We are now hoping the Eagles can pull off a win against the Gaints.

Another moving day...

We were up at 8am this morning. We had breakfast and I took a shower. I left to go pick up Kyle around 9:25 pm and Beth went to the bank and then meet us at Dawn and Jo's house. We proceeded to get the fridge loaded. We put it on the fridge on the dolly and found the dolly weighted more than the fridge and we could not get it up the steps. So we took it off the dolly and just carried up the stairs and loaded it into the truck. We loaded a few more things to take to Jo's parents house and headed out. It was easy to get the fridge into the basement and got it all hooked up. We then left and I took Kyle to the race track as his hand hurt and he could not cut grass. Beth went back to Dawn and Jo's for another load to the storage shed and came home. We both ended up taking a well needed nap. It was a cold cloudy fall type day and stayed that way all day. We headed back to Jo's parents house for dinner and had a great time visiting. One week from tonight and we will be in Disney.

EMG not so bad...

We got up around 8 am this morning. I made breakfast and we took showers. Beth cleaned out the closet in the guest room and I waited. I had my EMG at 12:30 pm and  I was a littler nervous. We left around 12:15 pm. We got right in, which is good, cause I am not good at waiting for things like this. The first test was to put little tabs on my feet and then use a thing that looked like a taser gun and shot different part of each leg and watch my feet jump. It did not hurt, just felt a little funny. Then the next test, was to poke different part of my right leg with a needle and then flex certain part of my leg. The needle pricks did not really hurt. Getting pricked with the holly leaves hurt a whole lot more. So the test was over in about 40 minutes. I was truly not as bad as I had thought and only hurt a 3 on the 1 to 10 meter. But I am SOOOO glad it is done. We then went to Dawn and Jo's house to help them do some packing. They are making good progress and have about 80% done. Jo and I went to go pick up Rylee from school around 4 pm and Dawn, Beth, and Dawn's dad loaded up some stuff and took it to the storage locker. We meet them at the new hose and did a walk through of what they have done so far. The have some electrical and plumbing  done, but still have along ways to go. But at least they are working on it. My legs are a little jumpy and sore, but that is to be expected. So I think I will take one of the good sleeping pill tonight.

Laundry day...

We go up to a rainy morning and very humid. We had breakfast and then showers. I went downstairs and started walking on the tread mill. I have been trying to get 20 minutes a night in, but my back and leg are feeling the pain. we had some lunch and I took Beth to the post office and to CVS. I did 3 loads of laundry and will do towels tomorrow. I have my EMG tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it all.

Getting ready...

We got up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and took showers. I went to Wal-mart and got a couple of tubs and a few other things. I stopped by Dawn and Jo's new house and they were working away. I came home and we had lunch. Beth put the bears in tubs and put them in the attic. We then cleaned out the office and dusted everything. So two rooms are ready for our roomies to move in. We still have a few more things to, but will get to them this week. Next week is packing and getting ready for Disney.

Getting Ready for Fall...

Boy oh boy was it cold when we got up this morning. We had the windows open and were looking for a jacket. We had breakfast and showers. We then went outside to clean out the shed and put all the summer things away. We moved some of the stuff out of the garage, but that the garage will require more time to clean. We came in around 1:30pm and had some lunch. The pool fairies came to close down and cover the pool. I am glad it will be covered before Rylee gets here, so no worries with her playing outside. I made chicken and biscuits for dinner and it was ready good on a chill night. I had the put the brown spread on the bed as fall is here.

MOVING DAY...

We got up around 7:30, took showers, and were out the door by 8:45am to see Dr. Bill. He wants me to give him a copy of the finds when I get them for his files. We came home and had some breakfast. Kyle decided he sis not want to help today, so we left for Dawn and Jo's house around 9:45am. I had my truck and Beth had the caddy. We worked on getting everything out of the shed and took it to their storage unit. We made 2 trip, but got everything over there. We came home and had some lunch and went back with just the truck, we loaded Rylee's car, picnic table, and the 8-1 gym climber. We finished up around 4pm. Beth cut the back yard and I made her steak for dinner. we are now ready to relax and watch MNF.

Bad day for the Eagles...

Beth got up a little late this morning and made it to church a little late. I got up and took a shower and made breakfast. we ate as soon as Beth got home. We left around 9:45am to go to Dawn and Jo's house. We helped them move some stuff to the storage shed. We went over the stuff we will be moving tomorrow. We were back home around 11:45pm. we had a quick lunch and went downstairs to watch football on the big screen. The Eagles did not play until 4pm, so we watched the red zone for the first games. I was glad the Chiefs were able to come back and beat the Saints. Then it was time for the Eagles vs. Cardinals game. It was a ugly for the Eagles and they played very very bad. Beth was not happy the rest of the day. We will be seeing Dr. Bill at 9am tomorrow and then picking up Kyle to help us move some stuff.

Another football Saturday...

We got up around 9am this morning. We had breakfast and I took a shower. Beth got dressed and went to the post office and the bank. She brought lunch home with her and we watched some football. She went out to cut the grass and I worked on scrapbooking and watched more football. Beth was going to make dinner, but since it took her longer to cut grass, I made it. It was only tacos, so it was fast and easy. So now it is time to settle in and watch some more football on the big screen. Mom the numbers are around 135 at night and 130 in the morning.

All set...

We were woke up by a phone call at 8am this morning. It was our buddy wanting to come over and get some information on the light. So I got up and got dressed. He was here about 20 minutes later and got what he needed. They of course have to order the part, so it will be at least a week. We then took showers and had breakfast. Beth went to go get her hair cut around 12;30pm. She was back home around 1:30pm and we had some lunch. We had an appointment at 3pm to see our AAA rep and get Beth's trip set up. We book a 7 day stay at Universal Studios in Florida. We are going to see the Blue man group while there and go to Sea World. It should be a fun trip. I even think we will go to downtown Disney one day. Maggie came by around 7pm to pick up the trailer and we chatted about the Disney trip. Payton wants to see Donald Duck and we are having breakfast him on Sunday. So we are very excited for that trip and hope Payton has a good time. Beth had been taking her blood sugar count every morning and every night. There is not much change in the reading from night time to morning time. I don't know what that means, but I don't think that is good. So we will keep tracking it and see what happens.

Packing time...

We got up around 9am this morning. We have got to learn to get up earlier and waste the day away. We had breakfast and took showers. Beth had a couple of errands to run and I played on the computer. After lunch, we started talking about what she wanted to do for her 50th birthday. We looked at several cruise options and none of them really hit her. So after talking over several option, she had chosen to go to Universal Studios in Florida. We have never been there, so we have alot to research. Beth went to AAA to get some information and we sill begin planning the trip. We left around 3:30pm to go pick up Rylee. She was so excited to see us and glad we picked her up. We came back to the house for about a hour and then ordered pizzas to take to their house. Dawn and Beth packed up some stuff while Rylee and I played and took a tubbie. My job was to keep her out of the way of the packing going on, so I got to spend alot of time with her. Yea Me. We watched the first half of the football game then came home. It was a great day.

Sweets be gone...

We had to get up at 7am this morning. I took a shower and Beth just got dressed. The guy came to fix the lights and I had to go to the dentist. It was a successful cleaning and I left there and went to the bank. I came home to find the lights were still not working. They now have to order another part and who know if that will fix it. So I went to the grocery store and to Target to get a blood sugar reader for Beth. We are going to start measuring it to see where she is at every day. We had some lunch and really did nothing the rest of the day. Beth is still trying to decide what she wants to do for her 50th birthday and thinks it is going to be a cruise.

Rain Rain...

We woke up around 9:30am this morning. I was done feeling loopy and glad to be back to my old self. I made breakfast and took showers. It was raining and looked to be that way all day. I had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and then to GNC. I was back home around noon and we had lunch. We watched the DVD we got the other day on the Galapagos islands and decided that should be our next trip. We then watched the Adele concert DVD. They both looked really nice on the big screen. Beth was suppose to go meet her brothers up by the ranch, but decided not to. The wind was blowing really hard and raining cats and dogs. So I made chicken and vegetables for dinner. The finally let up around 7pm and we had over 3 inches. I have to see the dentist at 9am tomorrow, let's hope it is still good news. 

MRI day...

We were up around 5:30am this morning. We took showers and headed out around 6:45am. I took my pill right before we got there and got checked in. I had to change and remove my shorts, shirt, and bra. I got onto the table and I could feel the pill taking effect. The MRI was not as bad as I expected. I was in the tube around 20 minutes and the test was over. I did get ear plugs, but the noise remained me of techo music. I waited out front until the CD was ready . The tech guy said it was a little grainy, but was readable. Makes me wonder if I will have to do it over.  I came home and called the doctor's office and was able to schedule a following up appointment. I have to wait until the EMG is done to meet with them, but will see them before we leave for Disney. By not my head was really feeling loopy. Beth called it be stoned. All I know is that is was not a good feeling. I went to lay down and took a 2 hour nap. I got up around 2pm and was still feeling loopy. I had some lunch and laid in the chair the rest of the afternoon. I fixed some dinner and was staring to feel a little better. All I know is that I don't think I will be taking those pill again.

Sunday football...

We both slept until 9:30am. we had some breakfast and took showers. I made ham roll ups and got everything ready for fondue. We headed downstairs to watch football. The Eagles did not play well, but still won again. We had cheese fondue with apples, carrots, and bread. It was so good and we were able to watch the football game. We were so happy for the Eagles win and look forward to next week's game against mom's team. After the 4pm games were over, we went upstairs and had leftovers for dinner. I had everything cleaned up and ready to go by the kickoff of the 8pm game. We will not be able to watch all of the game as we have to be up at 5:30am to be at the MRI place by 7am. Not how I wanted to start my week.

Last party at the rhotini's

We got up around 9am this morning. I made bacon and eggs for breakfast and then took showers. I work on my pictures and found I might have a virus on the external hard drive. I am getting some weird messages, so we will see. College football came on at noon, so I went downstairs to watch it. I found a new channel called ESPN goal line. I was suppose to be like the red zone for college football, but I was not impressed. I also found I could not get a couple of channel on the TV in the scrapbook room, but could get them on the big screen. So something else to look into. We left to go to Dawn and Jo's house as they were have last party before packing up the house for the move. It was kinda sad, but they are looking forward to moving to the new house.

Big chances...

Beth was up and on her way to the doctor by 7:45am. I got up around 8am and took a shower. I left to go to Ikea around 9am. It only took me about 40 minutes to get there and they did not open until 10am. So I went to BJ's to get a few items I needed. By that time Ikea was open and I was able to exchange the light for the correct one. I had to stop byf CVS and pick up my meds for Monday. I got home and fixed lunch. Beth told me what the doctor said and we made to make big chance. She needs to lose weight, like the both of us do, and she had to reduce her numbers. So Monday is a new way for use and we will have to stay on track. I picked up Kyle at 3pm so he could cut the grass and weed whack. I took him home around 4:30pm and we had dinner around 6pm. Beth is watching the Phillies on the big screen and loving every minute of it.

Pool work...

We got up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and got dressed. We went outside to work on the pool area. We rolled up the solar cover, picked up all the cushions and umbrellas, deflated all the pool toys, and threw some stuff away. The pool area looks so bare now. The pool will be closed the end of this month. I call and got my MRI and EMG scheduled. The MRI is schedule for 7:30am Monday. What a way to start the week. We finished up and came in for lunch. After lunch, Beth went out to cut the grass. Kyle will be over tomorrow night to do the back yard. I had to go to Lowe's to get some more insect stuff for the weeping cherry tree. We took showers and I started dinner around 5:30pm. Dawn and Rylee got here around 5:45pm and we had dinner. Rylee is in the potty training stage and loves wearing big girl panties. She had a couple of accidents and told us she was peeing, which is too late then. It is a process. We are watching the Bears/Packers game on the big screen.

Back problems...

We got up around 8:30am this morning. We had breakfast and took showers. I had a doctor appointment at 1pm and had to be there a little early for paper work. Beth had to stay home as Jeff was come by for some stuff. I explained to the doctor all the problems I have had the last 3 years with my feet and back and that my right leg was numb from my hip to my knee. He took some x-rays and determined I need to have an MRI and an EMG done. So I have to schedule them tomorrow. After dinner, we had to go to Wal-mart and Giant. Giant had London broil on sale by one get one free and whole chicken for 99 cents. I saved 70 buck by stocking up. Yea me. Mom we are going to be working outside tomorrow morning, so I may miss your call. I will just call you went we come inside. Tomorrow is the first Thursday night football game and we can't wait. Football on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. It don't get much better than that.

Outlet shopping...

We got up around 8:30am this morning. We had breakfast and took showers. I ran to Best Buy as the printer was out of black ink and will not print a thing with out it. Also Snow White and the Huntsman came out on DVD and wanted to get a copy. We then went to the out let mall. I notice that the more we walked the more my leg went numb. We went to the Yankee Candle outlet, Disney Outlet, and then to Ruby Tuesday for lunch. I called the doctor when we got home and have an appointment to see him tomorrow. Stay tune as this should be interesting.

Town meeting

We were up at 7:30am this morning as we had to see Dr. Bill at 9am. Gayle and Beth went to the ranch to fix a busted water line. it just so happens that it problem got worse when they tried to fix it and ended up having to replace a large section of pipe. They were back home around 4pm. I had to go to giant as I wanted to put a brisket on tomorrow. We had the township meeting to talk more our sewer issue. Permission was finally given and they will be paying for all the hook up fees, so it should not cost a dime to get our sewer hooked. So goo news for us. We are not watching the Monday night football double headed, so it will be a late night tonight.

Eagles Party...

Beth was up and at church by 8am and I was up and showered by the time she got home. we finished the final touches for the football party and had the food ready to go by kickoff. The Eagles looked really bad today, but got the victory anyway. It was a get time and the new TV was a big hit. Party guest are gone, trash is out, it now time to relax and watch the last game for today.

College football on the big screen...

We got up around 9am this morning. we had breakfast and took showers. I worked on the kitchen and Beth worked on taking down the tent we had on the back deck. We were suppose to get some high winds and heavy rain in the afternoon. Beth took Buster to the groomers and we settled in to watch college football on the new big screen with HD and it was great. Picture is so clear and bright. The rain rolled in fast and Beth had to go pick up Buster. She was able to make it back before the big stuff hit. It is bringing cooler weather with it for a few days. Tomorrow is our first football party of the new season and we are looking forward to it. Go Eagles.

Grocery Shopping All Day...

We got up at 7am this morning. The furnace guy was suppose to come between 8 and 12pm. I made egg and ham sandwiches for breakfast and then took my shower. Beth changed into work clothes. Beth went to pick up the HD cable box for the new TV. I left to go to Costco. I picked up a few things for the party Sunday and came home as I forgot my list for the grocery store. The furnace guy was here and said our furnace looked great and was not dirty at all. I left for the grocery store and pickup fried chicken for lunch. We had some lunch and Beth went out to cut grass. I left around 2:45pm to go pick Kyle, so he could cut the back yard. I dropped him off and then went to Zerns. I needed some round steak and got Beth some beef jerky. Beth had finished cutting grass and Kyle was almost done. Maggie came over to pick up the trailer and Kyle around 5pm. I fixed steak for dinner and then watched some college football. Beth hooked up the HD box, but is still not working. So will call the cable company tomorrow.

Sewer time

We watched all of the football game last night , so we did not get to bed until 1am. We slept until 9:45am and then had some breakfast. We took showers and then headed to the township building who in turn sent us to the waste management building. We talked to them about the sewer issue and the guy gave us what information he had on the plans. They are still in the planning stage and waiting for the approval which we will know on Monday. We spent the rest of the afternoon calling place to get some type of a general quote on the sewer line. It appears it will be between $3000 and $5500 to hook up to the main line. So until we have more infor or a time frame we have gone about as far as we can. We do have a guy coming out on Saturday to gives us quote. Dawn and Rylee came by for dinner and then DJ, Maggie, and the boys came by around 6pm. They were able to get Maggie's car fixed, so my truck is home. We finally had a day with no rain, so Kyle did the weed whacking tonight and will cut tomorrow.

Shopping again...

Beth was up and out the door by 8am. She has a doctor's appointment next week and had to give blood for it. I got up around 8:15 am and took a shower. Beth brought donuts home for breakfast. We had to unload the TV before we left. We backed the car into the garage and took the TV down the steps and onto the dolly. We had very little lifting and the process was better than taking it through the back door. We left around 9:30am to go back to Ikea. We had an idea of the TV stand we were looking for, but were open to other options. We looked around and found something we bother fell in love with and it was cheaper than original choice. We had some lunch and then unloaded the stand. It took us about 20 minutes to put it together, We then set the TV on the stand and then set it on the new stand we got. Boy did it look good. Beth got everything hooked and turned on. Dawn and Rylee stopped by for a few minutes before headed to Jo's parents for dinner. I had put a roast on and it was so tender you did not need a knife to cut it. We are not watching the first game of the season on the new big screen and enjoying every minute.

TV shopping..

Maggie called us at 7:10am this morning and was have car problems. She brought her car over and too my truck to work. The furnace guy was suppose to come and service the furnace, but they called and had to reschedule to Friday. Beth had an appointment to see her knee doctor at 10:30am, so I was able to go with her. He said she was doing great and to come back in 6 months. So we left there and went to Ikea to see what types of TV stance they had. We got some information on a couple we liked and then came home. We went to Best Buy to get the TV and found they did not have one in stock. So we had to go to Reading as they had one in stock. So off we went. It has been raining off and on for the last 3 day and continues today also. We have had about 2 inches of rain already. So we got to Reading and told the guy what we wanted. They also had a TV stand we like and they said they had one left. So the guy went in the back and came back out with nothing. He could not find either item, but had to go to the warehouse. He did find the TV, but the only table they had was the floor model and it was in really bad shape. So at least we go the TV. We got it loaded in the car and headed home. Maggie came by to look at her car and found the problem. She needed to call a couple of people to see if they could fix it, so she still has my truck. But she is fixing my computer, so all is good. We did hear from the builder guy and they are going to pay the $4000 fee and give us $1500 for the line hook up. We talked to Mark and Evon next door and they had a couple of estimates of 5000 to 7000 to run the line to the street, which I thought was kinda high. So we will call a few people and see if we can work out some deal for getting both done at the same time.

Big screen dead...

We got up around 9am this morning. We took showers and had breakfast. I had to take my computer that I use for scrapbooking to Best Buy. We had tried to install the Internet to it and we started getting some kind of error message and it would not print pictures anymore. And then Beth told me that the big screen was not longer working. We knew it had a line going down the side, but now we had no picture at all. we had this happen a couple of years ago and it cost 400 to fix. It was 14 years old and had a good life. So we were looking a two things now at Beast Buy. The guy looked at my computer and said the hard drive was pretty much fried. It had a virus and it cause major problem and was not worth fixing. So what to do now with it. So off the look at TVs. We wanted to compare what Bust Buy, BJ's, and Costco had. After looking, we decided to go with Best Buy. we found a 60" and a 70" we liked. It was just a matter of which one to get. So I told Beth it was either the 60" and a slush machine or the 70" and no slush machine. Guess we will see what she gets.

Prepper day...

We both got up around 9am this morning. We had some breakfast and took showers. I was not feeling well, so I spent most of the day on the couch watch a Doomsday preppers all day long. I did find one football game to watch.The weather was rainy and yucky all day long. We cancelled going to Jo's parents as I did not want to give them what I may or may not have. I am hopping it is just the weather and will pass in a day or so as the rain is here for the next 3 days.

College football all day...

I got up around 8:15am this morning. I took my shower and put the cinnamon rolls in the oven and Beth got up. I plated the rolls and was downstairs by the 9am kickoff. it was nice to finally have my normal Saturday back. I was able to finish Rylee's scrapbook and started on updating Jojo's. Beth had some errands to do and brought lunch home, which was great. We left around 5:30pm to have dinner with Dawn, Jo, and Rylee and to watch more football at their house. We came home around 11pm and I am not watching the east coast games, but will be going to bed soon. It was a really fun day.
