Well about 5am the misses heard a whimpering downstairs so she rushed down to find Lacey our lab who couldn’t get up. You see her hips have been sore for sometime and they were sort of out. We think she was trying to go to the bathroom (as she did on the kitchen floor) and couldn’t get up fast enough. Anyhow she then got right up and seems fine. Of course now we are up so we fed the dogs, made some coffee and here we sit.
Today the boys have assessment testing at school until about 11am, we hate this. Think about it, kids have been gone all summer and then they’re back for 4 days and bam, the school wants to test them. Our kids will do fine as they had a math and reading coach for part of the summer. No summer slide here.
Did anyone see the Nasdaq stock exchange shut down yesterday? You may not think this is a big deal, but this is a big deal. That’s all I’m going to say about it, I’m through preaching about the economy and gov as it doesn’t seem to do anyone any good. If you’re not aware of everything going on around you, you probably never will be. The sad thing is I think  most people just don’t want to face it (reality) so they just ignore it. My poor Mom gets the brunt of it as she lives so close so every now and then I tend to go off on her (like when the Nasdaq was historically halted yesterday) and rant about how things are falling apart, sorry Mom! Hopefully I and lots of other people are way off base and things will get better on their own.
Back to the family, this weekend Jag starts Fall Ball (baseball) on Sunday. As I said the other day, a team from Arvada that we played twice called and wanted him to join them. Tryouts for Golden (his league) are at the end of September. Meanwhile Ty is signing up for La Crosse, we’re big believers in team sports for the boys.
We had big bad storms yesterday afternoon with torrential rain. We needed it but boy did it come and go fast! A few miles away they had flash floods and hail that was almost biblical. Speaking of biblical, we need to find a new church, one that’s closer as it’s too hard to get up to Genesse every week. If you don’t go to church, I hope you’re reading the bible or something, maybe religion can be my new rant, ha!
That’s it, hope everyone’s well, take care and God Bless.
