I forgot to ask you yesterday if you were “excited” that Punkin Chunkin is back?!
I’ve never been there or done that and that’s ok with me. I don’t do events dealing with Pumpkin Festival unless it’s during that Wed. - Sat. in Sept. Those are enough days for me! Now that the kids are older, I don’t even look forward to P.F. -- it’s just a “money-costing me” event!
Dodge the raindrops!

Good morning Tammy! You beat me to the keyboard this morning.
I read the article about the Punkin Chunkin but I didn’t see where it was going to be held. I don’t care if they have it —— I just don’t want it next door. I never could figure out how Morton could take credit for doing it in Pekin anyway?
In other news —— The boys survived another day at school. Ben thinks his chemistry teacher plans to teach Creationism rather than real science. I really hope this is just a misunderstanding because I don’t want a chemistry teacher teaching religion. It seems of late everybody is bowing to the Christian Right —— even in matters of science.
I mowed some grass yesterday —— so did Aaron and Ben. We are finally getting caught up with the mowing since vacation. I had a bit more to finish today but it is raining again. We can always use the rain but I just wish it would cool off when it does.

It will be held at the Uhlman Family farm with no Green Acres corn maze. Personally, I don’t know where that is at...
I’m hoping to mow this weekend. I heard it was supposed to cool off -- I hope!
Well, the kids should be getting out in about 5 mins. I bet/know that Ashley is starving!

Uhlman’s is where it was held in the past —— about a mile west of us. So we get to put up with the noise, traffic and litter yet another year. I still don’t understand why one of the rich Yordys or other MORTON farmers don’t hold it on their property in MORTON. Noooo —— they have to come to Pekin / Tremont to dirty our neighborhood.
I was thinking of finishing up the rest of mine this afternoon —— I only have about an acre left to do around the house. It’s the worst though because of the hill.
Our guys won’t roll in until a little past 2:00 and they will head right to the refrigerator too!

I think your clock is a little off....your entry says 12:51 a.m.
TGIF! Although, the worst is yet to come....5 days of heat schedule (7:15-12:45) next week.
The kids get sooooo grumpy by Wed.!
Tammy 24 Aug 2007, 2:50 p.m.
Ooops! —— the clock is OK, it is my fingers that stuttered!
I fixed it!
Our guys are already cranky and it’s Friday! I think it is the realization they are back to all the stupid, worthless homework again. Already these idiot teachers are piling it on. Now we are into Team Building. Just more ritualistic, bureaucratic BS instead of teaching them to actually THINK! I don’t want my kids to approach life as a team unless they plan to be the coach. I want them to call their own plays, earn their own rewards or failures, etc. This school system is determined to turn them into robots.
