I guess that it's that time of year to start posting again. It's been well over a year since my last post. Life continues on whether I post or not. Some of my friends are very busy bloggers. I think that most that I know are very faithful about blogging. me? not so much. I've joined the face book age, been thinking about twitter but don't have a lot of time to follow people I don't really know. I've been thinking about it more for work. To be more visible for those that do use that site. We'll see. Between email, websites, fb...... how much time do I really have?

My favorite time of year is here! Yes... you know.... football season. Some think that the season has started out shaky. even though we have two wins. Our freshman qb is doing well. I'm like a proud/protective Mama. After all, I do have a boy his age. He got hurt last week, bruised shoulder, and still finished the game! Awesome. I guess someone else will start this week, but he'll be back soon. We're up in the Great North Wet this week and next, playing against our old offensive coordinator. "It's a building year for them", I can hear it already. Not that the game is in the bag or anything. As coach Lombardi always said, "On any given day...."
Wish I could make it to a game this year but it doesn't look good for that. I'll probably be too busy with the other fb (face book) or learning to twitter....

Sam's playing high school football this year, well he's practicing a lot anyway. It's hard for him and for us. He's back up qb. So kind of just waiting to go in. Last year he was in on every down. He finally had to ask to sit out Special teams so he could have a little break, this year he doesn't have that problem. "Hang in there", we keep telling him, "just practice hard", we say. "You'll get in there", we encourage. Of course we think that he's good, and better than the other guy, but he is! Besides being his parents, he is......

Tara is working really hard at school, she's taking 19 units trying to finish up her minor so that she can concentrate on her major her last 2 semesters at College. Bless her heart. She's doing a great job by the way. Loves her profs. And she's still working at the bank. Sometimes I feel bad that I can't help her more. Tuition went up again, and again this year while cutting back teachers with furlough days. I'm thinking furlough is the new term that evokes the same fear that pink slip did in years gone buy. Keep plugging away Tara, basically the same things we say to Sam.

Nick finally got a job. Yeah! three cheers! It sure is different. The house isn't as full anymore. between School, work and girlfriend I hardly see my Nickster any more. Oh let's face it when they get a girlfriend we don't see them. He's doing a good job with his time management, I just miss him.

I'd better talk about Sean as well. He's doing really good this semester. He's keeping busy with school and stuff. And that "stuff" isn't video games and computer. Yahoo... He's at El Camino high school, independent studies, taking 2 classes at Ventura College, and a drama class at Buena. Whew! Things are clicking a bit for him and he's working hard. He's really involved in youth group at church and just started an "evangelism study" with the other high schoolers.

They're funny kids, they all face book about everything.... I just have to log on to catch up with them. Sometimes I make them take it off and say something else/ What a mean mom I am. And I'm very careful and try not to comment on their friends fb, I guess that's not cool. But I often have a comment....Really? Anyway, hope it's not another year before I find something else to write about. Gotta check my fb now......
