October already??? Where is the year going??? We are getting into a nice routine during the day here with all the rugrats but when everyone comes home from school and all homework is done then there is 8 rugrats (7,6,5,5,3,3,3 & almost 2) running amuck. Now every after noon I can be heard saying over & over again...SLOW DOWN, EASY, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, STOP CHASING EACH OTHER, ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT!! Wednesday was no different till the screams and crys from my niece Fianna and Little Tommy. They collided heads, he got an egg on his head the size of a half dollar and she got a shiner!
On Friday night Andrew & I went to go see the NY METS play one of their last home games for the 2009 season,. The tickets were given to us by a friend of mine. The weather called for rain but it was a cool crisp fall night. The seats were splendid ( right behind home plate) the new Stadium was awesome & they won. I got some photos but my battery died at the end of the first inning. Other then that it was.............

Rachael had her 1st Varsity game on Monday. I made it to the game at half time (I had work till 4pm & the game was 20 minutes from where we live.)When I walked to the sidelines where all the parents were standing I found out the we (the T-Birds) were winning 1-0. As the second half played on many shots where shot on goal but Amanda (Rach's BFF) in her time in the goal reflected all the plays from entering the net. The whole team played very well and won their game with a score of 1-0. As I walked across the field to Rachael , she came towards me with a big smile on her face, I hugged her and asked who scored the only goal............ She said it was me Dee!!!!! OMG I felt bad enough that I missed seeing her play but to miss her scoring a goal made me cry. I missed her second game cause of work but there is another game tomorrow I am going to make sure I'm there for. So my Three words for this Sunday are...........
Also a big congratulation to another of my rugrats Connor. He spent the week trying out for the middle school football team and on Friday found out that he made it! Way to go Goober,so very proud of you and can't wait to stand on the sidelines of your games to cheer you on.

Its funny how on one hand time seems to be flying by. School is back in session for most of the rugrats, fall is in the air,the skies are getting darker earlier and holidays are knocking on our door(Halloween & thanksgiving decorations are out in the stores) But on the other hand (our adoption) time is at a standstill.
Thursday would of been my moms 73rd birthday.I had a quiet day for work(put 1 rugrat on the bus for 9am then take one off @ 2:40& the other @ 3:45) so for most of the day I was home alone and found myself wandering around my moms apt downstairs. A lot of her stuff is gone now but her furniture, books & some picture are still down there. I was dreading the day, My sister Jamie came over with her crew and after I got done with work @ 5:15 we ran to the cemetery to put a balloon on mom's grave. As we were pulling in I had a knot in the pit of my stomach, the seven months since she has passed have gone by in a blink. Having Jamie's kids with us helped when they asked...Where's Granny? Jamie touched the gravestone and said here.... next one asked.....OK but where is her box ?(while we were in the church for her burial Seamus(who was 3 at the time) said to Jamie during a lull in the mass GRANNY IN THE BOX...those of us who heard it chucked over this comment and then finally "where are all the flowers we left her? Simple questions from a child's mind and it reminded me that I wasn't the only one hurting over this and missing her. So my first three words are..........
My second three words needs no background as to why..... Everyone remembers where they were, what they were doing, and how they felt during the days, weeks and months after that date. So Try to take a moment out of your day and let those in your life know what they mean to you

OH WHAT A NIGHT................
I'm a little late this week with my three word Sunday. I knew what photo and what words I was going to use after I got a phone call from my rugrat Rachael but before I got a chance to put my post together, Andrew & I took a quick trip Upstate.
OK it was suppose to be quick...three hours up, pick up his truck(that has been getting worked on for the last 3 weeks and was finally done) and three more hours down.The trip up to Catskill was quick, no real traffic to speak of, pulled into the car place and our truck was sitting right there waiting for us. From there we headed to his parents house (just down the road a bit) to drop off the car we had borrowed from them. No one was home (they are on vacation) we left the car, grabbed a soda, and started back home for the island........ we got about half way home and Andrew decided to pull off at a rest area for a minute. When he stopped the car his oil indicator came on, as he opened the door there was a strong smell of gas(diesel). .......
Years ago I decided get a membership in AAA. My husband the mechanic didn't think it was necessary . Well last night it came in handy....... We called AAA to tell them our problem. They say since there is gas we had to call 911 before they would send anyone out. So we called and the state troopers and the fire department was called. When they arrived and deemed the situation safe (it had better of been I was sitting in the car the whole time) AAA was called again and a tow truck was dispatched to us and he drove us back to my in laws house, One hundred and one point four miles away. The charge is $4.50 per mile. So if Wifey didn't have AAA we would of had to pay over Four hundred and fifty dollars but since I always believed it was a security to have our 1st 100 miles were FREE!!!!! We finally made it home about an hour ago. On Tuesday morning Andrew will be on the phone with the service department that "fixed" our car in the first place. In the long run I am "SO THANKFUL FOR" AAA and hubby's thankful for a smart wifey.
Rachael tried out for Field Hockey this week. Last Sunday night when I saw her she was a nervous wreck for what is called HELL WEEK (Two practices a day) on Monday after her 1st practice I called to see how she was (still nervous and she threw up) that night she was a little less nervous and very sore, same on Tuesday and then on Wednesday morning I got text from her stating "I MADE VARSITY"!!!!!!!!
Stinkerbell I am so proud of you. You can do anything you set your mind to. I love you.

The other night I took a fall. I was in the kitchen on my bare feet one minute and on my arse the next. How it happened is still a mystery, something on the floor & I slipped, got dizzy and lost my balance? All I know is both of my arms are bruise beyond belief & I took another 10years off of Stew-Be's life. He swears I am slowly trying to kill him,LOL, this being the 2nd time in our marriage that I gave him such a fright(1st time was in June & then phone call that I was being taken to the ER). This is another case of it looks worst then it feels.
Also on a Happier?Better? note We marked another month off of our wait and are Another Step Closer to our dreams.
