Its Life and Death

Weird week this week and we are only half the way through. Had a contractor of mine that lost his son on Friday to an auto accident. Then the next phone call I got on Monday was a contractor of mine that had their second child. What a freaky deal. One in.....One out. Really making me think about everything, althought my minde is coming off a "speed" high fromt he pills I take so I dont die while running three miles.

How about Heidi and Brooke running in that race? Pretty cool!! Heidi is really into this running deal, and she is pretty good at it. Brooke is all over the place at school. They have this deal at school, which I assume replaces getting your ass beat like we used to get at Eastwood. I still have nightmares off all the different paddles that each teacher had. What a joke! I digress....they have this deal where you start the day off at "green light". If you act up you get downgraded to "yellow light" and if you really F-up you get the very bad "red light". Thankfully Brooke has only gotten the Yellow light once and then the next day she was back to Green. Seriously, why cant everything be this simple. Work related, you start the day off Green, and if you end in Red dont bother coming back. Life related you are born with the Green light to do whatever you please and by the end of life you are at Red and cant move. Again probably the speed talking.

I leave on Saturday for North Dakota. Cant wait for the annual trip. It is well needed, not to get away from family because I will miss them, but just to be outdoors in the peacefullness of GUN BLASTS RINING MY EARS!!! Its great.

Question to really think about for the next blog and I want some serious answers:

Does your soul feel physical pain? and can your soul take on a physical being?

Race Day

Big Saturday at the Humphreys household! Today Brooke ran in her first ever race and got a blue ribbon. It was the Island Artfest kids run and 10K. All I can say is you boys can eat our dust, GIRLS RULE!!!!!!!

Day 2...

Ok so the first day was pretty good. Mom shed a few tears, dad went to work like normal and Brooke met a new friend with "brown skin." (I told her to find out her name today) When I asked Brooke what they did she replied..."we had six recesses and did you see that big fat guy, mom?" I was a little taken back and she went on to explain that he was her music teacher and his name is "tiny." She is learning already! No computers on the first day but they did have nap time. Today is day 2 and Brooke wanted to ride the bus so again a large knife cut another portion of the cord!

Tune in Tomorrow

Well it becomes official tomorrow. Our girl gets officially thrown into the woods, literally her school is in the woods. Thank god those are not the Eastwood woods or the Wright Christian Academy woods. Just kidding mom, but I really would have rather been in public schools. Boy schools have come so far from when I was a kid. I am going to sound really old, but they have cool iMac in their classroom!! I guess that is what I pay for every paycheck and will do it with a smile on my face from here on out.

We had orientation on Thursday of last week. Got to meet the teacher, see other classmates, check out the cafeteria (gym) and meet the principal. She has 22 kids in her class and they have 2 other K classes. Don't think momma is going to let her ride the bus for the first couple days, but maybe she will ease into it after a while. I guess all that crime in Wausau?

Nothing else special going on here, just enjoying the pre-fall weather, getting ready for hunting season and schooling Jake in my spare time. He is doing great. Knows how to sit, knows how to stay and come with a peep of the whistle, and learning how to heal. He is retrieving in the water already as well. I saw the guy we bought him from yesterday at Gander Mountain and we talked for about 30 min. Its so cool to see his eyes light up when I talk about jake to him. He has a real passion for his dogs.

Brooke will be the first grandchild to blog tomorrow so stay tuned. She will explain to you all in her own words (could be better than strategery) how her day was and what she did. I am sure there will be some huge hygantic fantaboulous things that she accomplished.
