After months on the market, and about twenty showings, we still haven't had an offer on the house. On the advice of our realtor, we're going to take it off the market in November and relist it after the first of the year. People don't normally house shop during the holidays, he says. He also said we listed it at a good price...but I beg to differ.

This Friday is JJ's last football game. It's senior night and the parents walk out on the field with their sons and get a flower. I keep teasing JJ that when they say his name I'm going to give him a great big smooch on the cheek. He's strictly a "do not touch" kind of kid and he knows that with everyone watching he'll have to choice but to let me. I'm thinking of it as payback. Thursday night we're having a bonfire here for the team. They're so pumped up....last night we beat a team that's number two in the conference. We're going to finish the season with five, maybe six wins....that's three more wins than Nazareth has had since joining this conference fifteen years ago.

Braden is still excited about the dive team, and the coach told asked him, "Do you have springs in your legs? You're a natural." Braden replied, "No springs, but I do kind of jump around a lot" That's an understatement, in my opinion.

I have a frying pan that had burnt on peppers and onions in it, and I'm boiling it off in vinegar. It's an old trick tea lady used to use. It works like a charm, but my house stinks!

Well, that's all I got. If I didn't have kids I wouldn't have a thing to blog about this week!
