The Haley's are still alive....

I have NOT been a good blogger lately! Understatement:) Just to catch up on a few things..........I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by!!! Kallie has already signed up for her second semester classes and Kyle... well he is just counting the days until Thanksgiving break and Christmas break. He says he only has two and a half years left of school!!!!

I love Thanksgiving! It is my favorite holiday. All the Garrison's will be here and then we go to Pa and Janice's later in the day. Ross and Jesse will be home and honestly we will all play catch up because it has been awhile since I have seen them and even my brothers'. Everyone has such a busy schedule, running here and there but not really going anywhere!!! How can that be??? Life.........

When I start thinking about becoming a bahhhh hum bug I think how blessed we are. I am determined to not let commercial-ism get the best of me. I will be happy in the moment and thankful for my family. The stores are to blame for smothering folks to death with Christmas, with the trees being up with Halloween. Please----

More later. love and peace to all--hootie hoot:))))))))

Rain, Rain Go Away

Whew----the rain has a way with my mood!!! Today I have had several rainy thoughts...I wanted to sleep instead I worked, I wanted to eat beef stew, instead I had tacos.. I wanted to paint my bedroom, instead I cleaned. Weird?!

Kyle has made the best of fall break doing whatever comes to his mind!!! Hanging with friends, hunting, sleeping ahhhhhhhh to be a teenager again. Kallie does not get fall break until next week, Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully everyone is having a great week regardless of the weather!!!

Does anyone watch "Good Wife"? If so what happened to the last fifteen minutes last night? Our station changed into something strange????

love and peace to all

Catching up and so on...

Well, if there is anyone out there that even still reads our blog I have been a lousy blogger lately. Life.... sometimes gets hectic and priorities change. Kallie turned 19 this month. Wow, I cannot believe it. It just seems unreal to me that I have one in college and another in tenth grade.

We have been mud bogging and doing well. Three maybe even four second place finishes!!! $$$ and trophies and the thrill of it all is priceless. I hope I never stop enjoying seeing my kids do what they like to do.

Our family and D & D have been to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg over the weekend. Had a blast!!! Go cart racing, Dollywood, Cades Cove, shopping we did the all!!! It is so nice to get away but when you are with family it makes it even better. Pics to follow.

love and peace to all.

A Good Summer...

Have a good last hoo-rah weekend. love and peace to all

Catching up...

I know there is probably not a soul that still checks by blog!! I have not posted since the last part of July-where does time go?? It has been busy at the ole Haley camp lately!!! Let me see if I can just hit some news-worthy spots. Well, Jesse and Ross were home for dinner last FRiday night at Mike and Nancy's It was GREAT to see them both. However, now they are both back at school. Kallie begins school tomorrow, Kyle loves school. He says he only has two more first days of school!!!!

KYle bought a truck.(pic above) He won second place last week in the good Ole Centertown Mug Bog and his Dad (Poo) won second place last night in Kyle's truck. Kyle went to the dirt track racing in Crossville and wanted his Dad to take his truck for him. It was neat to see Mark win.

I have more news but I will wait until next time, Kyle wants the computer and is hounding me too death. peace and love to all

Whew..time sure does fly...

I cannot believe how this summer has zip zapped away. It seems like maybe four weeks ago school was over and bam here it is starting.

I am beginning to "think" about having a yard sale. I love getting it out of the house but the getting all the stuff out of the house kills me. I have boxes under my carport so I am at least entertaining the ideal.

I am spoiled in the sense I have been out of the school traffic since Kyle has gone to the HS. Kallie took him last year, but since she has graduated it will be me. It is funny, sometimes I get in the traffic and it doesn't bother me, but then there are other times I just want to get a megaphone (sp) and yell pull up!!! Ok everybody knows what I am talking about. The dreaded circle in front of the HS gym. Why is it so hard to pull up and let several kids unload instead of pulling half way up and letting maybe three???? Please tell me. Lord knows if I was to politely honk at someone to pull up, Kyle would die of embarrassment, or I would have a Momma on me like stink. (she would not have her clothes on either, it would be pj's and house shoes) And another thing, would someone please tell me when it became ok to wear your pj's out in public?? I have been over to school several times and it does not have to even be in the morning and I see Mommas in their pj's!!! And at Walmart, --ok I will stop ranting but people please tell me why!!!!love and peace to all
