Today is my best friends birthday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHARON! LOVE YA, GIRLFRIEND! She is the best friend a girl can have. Always there to build me up when I feel down, make me laugh when I feel sad, listen when I am mad, and support me & love me through the good and the bad. She's the best! Wow, sounds like a song! We've been buds now for over 14 years! Hard to believe.....we went through the raising teens crisis's , church crisis's and husbands crisis's together! I love her family and kids....she loves mine! We'll always be friends forever! Happy birthday, girlfriend!

Yesterday I worked. It went fast. Aleta and Pam came in before I left. Pam has a computer project for me to do this week since I'll be doing long days. I get kind of bored when I get my chores done (not that I am complaining!!!!). So this will be great since I'll be working almost 8 hours today through Friday and 4 on Saturday. Pam will be at the fair manning a booth for Snap Fitness! Stop and say hi to her if you go to the fair!

After work I went and watched the kids last game. First game they won 19-9! The second one they won 12-11.....close one. Good games! Karla got beaned a few times with the ball playing catcher. Once pretty good in the jaw. That'll bruise. Dylan told her to walk it off. lol! Joel took a few hits too! He was going to have Meghan play pitcher and Kevon said no.....which made Meg mad but Kev was right....first ball hit and it smacked Joel (who was pitching) right in the leg! Kevon pitched the second game.... Joel moved to shortstop. A few innings he was in the dug out.... that was fun to watch. He paced and yelled directions. He couldn't sit still. Amanda and I laughed and teased with him. The rains held off until the second game. I was taking pictures and the ump asked if it was lightening. Joel said he just wanted a reason to call the game. They ended up calling the game in the 4th or 5th inning. Brad took the girls (Jo, Riley, Lauren, and Maddie) to the van to stay dry.

Made bean soup (beans, ham hocks, onion and carrots) for dinner last night. We forgot to put it up before bed. That is so maddening!!!! Oh well. I didn't think it turned out that good anyway. It was suppose to last a few days since I will be getting home late the next two nights. It is what it is.

I was checking out anemia stuff and can't believe we didn't figure it out awhile ago with the symptoms! Some common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, lethargy, weakness, poor concentration, and impaired immune function. Another symptom of anemia, called pica, is the desire to eat unusual things, such as ice, clay, cardboard, paint, or starch. Advanced anemia may also result in lightheadedness, headaches, ringing in the ears, irritability, pale skin, unpleasant sensations in the legs with an uncontrollable urge to move them, and getting winded easily. That explains my ice chewing!!!! At least I didn't start eating cardboard, paint or clay! lol!

Well, thats about it! Hope you all have a great day! I pray it is!
