Cooler weather ahead!
You know they say if you are patient enough things do come around. Well we are finally suppose to be getting some cooler weather I sure hope so. Would be nice to once again open windows and smell the wonderful smell that come with fall. Hear the kids play outside again.
We took the swimming pool down yesterday. Time for winter and this last wind and rain storm did a mess on it, it was easier to take it down and put it away then start all over again. We will put it up again in the spring. Bye bye pool we had fun with you see you later. Now time to get the hot tub up and going.

Been Busy at Wolf Bay High!
I will try to fill you all in on whats been going on at Wolf Bay High. First Baby Wolf has to do drivers ed all over again as they sent us the wrong package. Well I try fighting but you get to a point sometimes its best just to bite the bullet and do so we will. Told Baby Wolf it should go fast for her. These darn laws its hard to keep up with all the changes. About as bad as the weather changes in a blink of eye. But, its a small hill and we will climb that hill together and it will make us stronger as we are climbing to the top.
My mustang is still in shop they are fixing the brakes said they don't know how were driving and how we made it without getting hurt. Told them some one up above us was watching us and watching us close. Hopeful that baby will be back in our hands again next week.
Big daughter wolf is busy with all her studies too its her Senior year and she is busy getting everything in and done. She is one of the students that wants to do it all.
Daddy Wolf is busy at work and helping me with the little wolfs and school. He does the Math and Science with them and History. They have so much fun in together its great to see them work together.
This is our little Morning Dove we took in and nurse it back to health. It had a broken wing.
On Thursday the Little Dove fly off. The smile on both Wolf's face was priceless. It flow way to other doves. We kept it and nurse it for a week and then it was ready to go home. Bye, little Dove take care it was joy, you bought smile to the little Wolf's face each day they came to see you and seen you were getting better and around more and more each day.
Well we had a big change at the Wolf House. Mama Wolf went to work in the real world after 18 years home. Ok I know what you all are saying lazy, no its not that way. I was a caregiver to two family members, a teacher to the Wolf pups, cook, housekeper, taxi driver, wow the list goes on. The day went well. I will be only working part time. Need to still be home to help the Wolf pups finish there school. They did well the first day I was gone. Gave them a list of things that need to be done with school. Came home all was done that they could do until Daddy and Mama Wolf got home to help them.

Is it Monday again?
Well today start off like any Monday should. Oh no its not Monday its Wednesday someone needs to tell Murphy that I think he thought it was Monday.
Any way Big Daughter Wolf got up this am and decide she wanted to go to Rockport for breakfast before school. I thought what a better way to start the day off. Baby Wolf had Exam in Math. Big Wolf was studying for a Exam in Spanish so before we would put all our Wolf heads together and hit the books we thought we start out with a nice warm breakfast. You know they always say a good breakfast is the great way to start the morning off. Big Daughter Wolf started driving and was doing great then we got to the place got out to get our donuts and when we got back in the car I smell something like burn rubber. We couldn't find anything so got on our way and as we leaving the car felt like someone was pulling me back and I wanted to go forward. Got Daddy Wolf on the phone and he said he didn't know then as we were talking the breaks went we lost all breaks. We got into a bank parking lot and called for a tow truck. Wow we were lucky or some one up above was watching us.
No one was hurt and we didn't hit anything. WOW that was a close one. Anyway we called Daddy Wolf he came to get us so we go home and do school and they could took our car to the doctors to get fix. Poor thing. I am sure it will be fine. Just need some work. We all get that way after a while. Came back home and way we went to studying and Baby Wolf got a B on her Math and Big Wolf is still studying her Spanish will take test on Friday. Baby Wolf then went working on writing for school she is so funny had to write a letter to friend any friend. What she is doing is getting practice for her big paper. She brings the letter for me to read and look over. I laugh so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants. This is how it kind of went Dear Kimmy I wonder if what all this school is about? Will it help save my life if I was in accident? How will Grammar help then?
Well I don't know I guess us kids are going to have to grow a back bone and just do it. That's ok I only have 9 1/2 more years of school left. Bring it on. LOL she is to funny.
Big Daughter Wolf went and did the rest of her work and then she been drawing away. Last night we went to a college night here in town, they had tons of college from all over for them to look at she was so excited and fell in love with a couple so we will look into them more.
So, our day wasn't to bad at Wolf Bay High it could of been alot worst but we learn alot today and learn that tomorrow will be another day! Bring it on!
Go all the way to the bottom of the page to see the picture of my car. Sorry it went all the way down there I don't know why? Will try and figure it out later.

Just a little more rain!
Just a little more rain and my ark would float great. Yea right. We have more then enough rain. One thing I learn about living in Texas you either get tons of rain all at once or nothing for months. When it comes all at once it has no place to go. We now have roads that are flood and not drive able. Almost reminds of good ole winter snow storm but there's no snow, just tons and tons of water. Ok maybe not tons but it looks like it. We will be fine. I love the rainy weather its nice for a change and the cool temps that come with it. These temps. are wonderful.
For the life of me I have never figured out people and maybe its best I don't or maybe I was not meet to figure out people I don't know.
Today I took Baby Wolf down to get her permit. We did the parent taught class. The package they sent me. Well when we got up to the counter they told me that this class is no longer in use. So, she has to another whole class. I said what? She said I am sorry but we can't use this class. I said ok what does this mean. She said Baby Wolf had to pay another $85.00 for another course and go through it all again. I said WHAT? You are crazy we spend all this time and money already on this class now you are telling you up grade or change your course so now we have to go do something different I don't think so. This Mama Wolf is tired of games and all. She said ok just a minute then she came back and said how did you get this class and book. I said I filled out a form sent the check for the class and got this. She said really. Man, I wanted to.. no sit back Mama Wolf take it easy. I said it was sent in this envelope on this date to my address. She goes really. I said yes really. She then said that is funny, I said why she said because we don't use this program as of this date. I said I knew nothing about that I just use what you all sent me. She then went on and to my face in front of Baby Wolf said did you buy or steal this from some else. I said What on earth are you talking about if I am going to steal something it sure and heck wouldn't be a drivers test. She said I don't know what we can do but make you all pay the $85.00 and start all over. Poor Baby Wolf her face just fell to the floor. Looking at my little Wolf all heart broken I put on my Mama Wolf claws and said no way. I will go talk to the main office on Tuesday as they were close with all the bad weather and see what we can do for my Little Baby Wolf. I have sat and talk to her and told her if we do have to take it all over again it wouldn't be that bad. Yes, its a pain but we can do. Yes, Wolf's stick together like glue and can climb any mountain that is put in front of us.

Where to begin?
Poor Daddy Wolf thought he would get the day off today and no work. Hmmmmm we had other plans for that man or I should say Mother Nature did. We need to build a ark to get anywhere. Hurricane Karl hit below us in Mexico but I think it forget to leave the rain down there. We are getting hit hard and no relief in site. Not complaining love it better then the heat. First time in along time we all are cool and not hot in a while. But, the rain is coming down. Over 5 inches in my area. My back yard is flood. Thank God for second floor might need it yet. Was thinking of opening up the backyard for swimming lesson or to teach people to surf the winds are up I am sure we could and you wouldn't have the salt water. Hmmmmmmmm I wonder if that would work?
