Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I didn't know there was a pumpkin shortage! Really? There is a large pumpkin patch in town (next to the corn maze) where they sell pumpkins but their prices aren't cheap. I haven't been to a store since the middle of September so I am clueless about the availability of pumpkins:)A new car??? Fantastic!!! Lucky 17 year old to get the old van, too. big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

You must be exhausted; but a good tired,at the end of each day!I'm happy to read you are feeling better--makes it far easier to function!On Friday, I left for a tournament in Aston, PA with my 11 year old son, .Fortunately, we carpooled with a mom and her son from the team, so it savedme on my anxiety of driving to new places. They played a total of 5 games: 1 onFriday; 2 on Sat and Sun. They won 2, lost 2 and tied 1. These trips really take a toll on me. I get uptight with traveling, and miss my family and my bed! I have tolighten up, as I will/we will be having a fair share of traveling this year, as all 3 of theyounger kids are doing the travel hockey. One plus is that my 17 year old is driving. Wegave him the van, and I bought a new Ford Escape (5 years, 0%!).MS-wise, I've been fairly stable, with the exception of fatigue, balance junk and TN stuff.Today, I go to a children's hospital that has a school connected with it. There are mildlyand severely disabled (mentally and physically);they are looking for per diem teacher-aides.I have to see if I can rise to the occasion of caring for this population, as well as the basicsof what the hours and pay would be. Wish me luck.So far, none of the jobs I've applied for have panned out. Hopefully, God has just the right place for me to be, with the right hours, etc.I can't quite wrap my mind around that it is already October; what happened to August?Wondering a random thing: are pumpkins scare in your neck of the woods? I'm wonderingif everyone is effected by the pumpkin shortage, and high prices. They're nearly doubleof what they were last year. I think hurricane Irene is responsible for the plight.I hope everyone has a super day ahead of them!Please say hi, and send my love to Challis and her family for me.Love you Sharon, and treasure you all,KateTo: Group <mserslife >Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2011 12:44 AMSubject: my day Thankfully I woke up feeling good! No more headache!! Yea! This is my second day on the prednisone and a bonus side effect is that my chronic sinus congestion is clearer. The pain in my ear is better!!This morning I got up and got started early on the Banana Split Cake. By 11 a.m. it was in the fridge chilling for tomorrow. Then I made two pans of brownies. I added milk chocolate chips to the brownies so it will have little lumps of chocolate. It's yummy like that. I cut the brownies and put them all in a tupperware container for 's birthday party tomorrow. I went out to see the chickens and ducks late this afternoon. I took them kitchen scraps and hand feed them. I filled their waterers and threw grain. They love me when I do that:) lolI cut beef into little squares for the chili my son is making first thing in the morning. My hands are aching from that tonight. I helped my 9 year old granddaughter make her "signature" goodie. She always makes Butterscotch Brownies and they are excellent. So we have all sorts of deserts for tomorrow's party. I'm looking forward to seeing all eight of my grandkids tomorrow. I love being with all the grandkids and "kids". My "kids" are 39 and 41:) I lucked out with my daughter-in-law and son-in-law because I couldn't have picked anyone better for my kids! It will be a great day.big hugs to each of you SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I did see some pumpkins at the store the other day, they were pricey but I just figured it was because the crops are just coming in and they'd be cheaper later Gratz on the new wheels!   ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://www.affiliates-natural-salt-lamps.com/pages/156.php -- my day Thankfully I woke up feeling good!
