BONJOUR!!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING OUTSIDE. ITS STILL A LITTLE BIT COOL BUT THE SUN IS REALLY SHINNING. I WAS WAS FEELING HORRIBLE WHEN I WENT TO BED. BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SLEEP IN LATE AND WAKE UP FEELING BETTER..I DIDN'T REALLY EVEN HEAR BABY GETTING READY FOR WORK THIS MORNING. I HAD LEFT A NOTE FOR SCOTT TO PUT GIOVANNI IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM BEFORE LEAVING. EVERY MORNING HE IS GOING CRAZY AROUND THE HOUSE MEOWING NON STOP AND TRYING TO GET OUT..HE DIGS AT THE DOOR, TRYS TO GET UNDER THE BLINDS, JUMPS ON DIFFERENT FURNITURE HOPING TO SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, GET OUTSIDE TO FIND A FEMALE..WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY HE IS GOING SO CRAZY TO ROME. I HAVE A FEMALE RIGHT HERE FOR HIM. HOUSING A STUD CAT HAS PROVEN TO BE HARDER THAN I EXPECTED. SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A ROOM THAT HE CAN STAY IN MOST OF THE TIME IF HE CONTINUES ACTING AS HE IS. I HAVE RAISED MANY CATS BUT I HAVE SPAYED/NEUTERED ALL OF THEM. SO THIS EXPERIENCE IS NEW TO ME...I NEED TO DO A LITTLE MORE READING ABOUT THE STUD CAT..THIS IS HARD..ANYTHING THAT EFFECTS MY SLEEP ON A DAILY BASIS REALLY FRUSTRATES ME!! ( OK..WELL BESIDES THE KIDS, WHO HAVE WOKE ME MANY TIMES BUT WITH THEM ITS OK!!) I GUESS BEING IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM DOING ALL THAT MEOWING BECAUSE HE IS ACTUALLY SOUND ASLEEP RIGHT NOW.

I GOT UP AND GOT ME A HOT CUP OF COFFEE, BUT IT DIDN'T TASTE THAT GOOD. SO I BROKE OUT THE FRENCH PRESS. A FRENCH PRESS IS A GREAT LITTLE COFFEE POT THAT TAKES COURSE COFFEE GROUNDS TOPPED WITH VERY HOT WATER, ALLOWED TO STEEP AND THEN YOU PUSH THE PLUNGER DOWN PRESSING ALL THE COFFEE GROUNDS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POT LEAVING YOU WITH A LITTLE POT OF COFFEE HEAVEN..

SO YOU CAN SEE I AM ALREADY ENJOYING IT. WITHIN THE NEXT HR OR SO I AM SURE I WILL FINISH THE ENTIRE POT. I PERSONALLY FEEL THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO MAKE COFFEE AS GOOD AS YOU CAN IN FRENCH PRESS...THE TASTE IS INSANE. THIS IS WHY I LIKE COFFEE ALL THE WAY INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON. I JUST LOVE THE TASTE.

I AM LOVING THE WAY THIS DAY IS STARTING OFF. ON SATURDAYS I LIKE TO LAY IN BED, PLAY ON THE COMPUTER AND WATCH COOKING SHOWS WITHOUT ANY GUILT OF WHAT NEEDS DONE. ITS A GREAT WAY TO START THE DAY. YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY WITHOUT HAVING TO ACTUALLY WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS NOW. I HAVE A WONDERFUL HUSBAND WHO HAS ALWAYS WORKED HARD FOR OUR FAMILY. THE CAR BUSINESS HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD FOR US. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME HARD MONTHS BUT FOR THE MOST PART THIS INDUSTRY HAS PROVIDED FOR US PRETTY WELL. WISH I WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE CAR BUSINESS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER..BUT LIKE SCOTT ALWAYS SAYS...ONCE YOUR IN THE CAR BUSINESS, IT HAS YOU FOR LIFE..HE IS SUCH A HARD WORKER..REALLY I THINK HE WOULD HAVE WORKED THIS HARD IN ANY JOB..HE IS JUST THAT TYPE OF PERSON. HE MAKES ME PROUD. HE KNOWS HOW TO WORK HARD AND PROVIDES WELL FOR HIS FAMILY. ITS ALL ON HIM AND HE DOES IT..WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME..I WOULDN'T MIND GETTING BACK TO WORK..ITS HARD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS THAT HAVE PASSED..I HAVE WORKED OFF AND ON AT LITTLE JOBS..NOTHING REALLY STUCK.. I MEAN I LOVE WORKING AT THE BED AND BREAKFAST BUT THAT IS ONLY PART TIME AND ITS NOT MANY HOURS. IF I WENT TO WORK...WE WOULD REALLY BE KICKING ASS. I AM WANTING TO PAY FOR A FEW MORE VACATIONS. EUROPE IS CALLING MY NAME..I AM AFRAID I WOULD NEVER WANT TO COME BACK..I THINK LIFE IS BETTER THERE..MORE SIMPLE..MORE REFINED..SOMETHING THAT MANY OF US HAS STRAYED OFF FROM. I LOVE SIMPLE..

I JUST TALKED TO THE KIDS. MY SON IS IN TROUBLE FOR NOT BRINGING HOME ANY OF HIS HOMEWORK..UGH...I CANT SAY I BLAME HIM!! BUT HE IS GROUNDED..AT LEAST UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING! HE IS GOING FROG HUNTING WITH ART AND BRITTANY BELLE TONIGHT. I CANT BELIEVE THAT MY EX HUSBAND IS TURNING MY LITTLE BRITTANY INTO A HUNTER..SHE LOVES GOING AND WATCHING HIM HUNT. SHOCKS THE HELL OUT OF ME..SHE IS SO PRETTY AND SWEET WHILE JACKSON IS THE WILD CHILD BUT BRITTANY SEEMS TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS MORE THAN HIM. ITS REALLY STRANGE..NEVER DID I THINK I WOULD HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO LIKES TO HUNT BUT I DO...SHE REALLY IS NOT INTO KILLING ANYTHING HERSELF RIGHT NOW BUT SHE DOES LIKE TO WATCH AND HELP IN ANYTHING SHE CAN..MY KIDS ARE ALWAYS SURPRISING ME..I AM THANKFUL TO THEIR DAD FOR AT LEAST GETTING THEM OUT AND SPENDING TIME WITH THEM..

DON'T KNOW WHAT TODAY HOLDS YET..I DON'T HAVE MUCH ON MY TO DO LIST. I AM STILL IN BED AND ITS 100 IN THE AFTERNOON. LIKE I SAID... ~ A GOOD WAY TO START THE DAY!~ I AM FEELING A BIT GUILTY BUT REALLY THIS IS THE ONLY DAY I REALLY DO THIS...SUNDAYS ARE EASY TOO BUT I AM USUALLY UP AND MOVING A LOT SOONER. I DO HAVE A RETURN TO GET OUT AND MAKE IF I FEEL LIKE DOING IT TODAY. I WONT EVEN BE GETTING IN THE SHOWER TILL AFTER 2..JUST FOR ANYONE WHO DOSENT KNOW..THE BEST NEW COOKING SHOWS ARE ON SAT..SO I AM ALWAYS ENJOYING THE TV ON SATURDAYS. AND IF I CANT..YOU CAN BELIEVE THE DVR IS RECORDING THEM!

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT SATURDAY. MAKING THE MOST OF IT. RELAXATION IS ALWAYS THE KEY TO FEELING GOOD. KEEP THAT IN MIND!!

BON APRES-MIDI....(french translation...wishing you a nice afternoon).
