Evening everyone,
It has been a busy, busy last couple of days with trying to get ready for school and get in on the tax free days. We had to take Michael's laptop to Rome to be serviced. Since he has the desktop that he built I will be using the laptop and I wanted all his junk cleaned off. Well when he cleaned everything off and was just going to reload the stuff that is suppose to be on it he found out Circuit City has to reload it. We bought Matt a new desktop, Lacy will get his old one. Jerry parted her computer out last school year when we caught her making a fake ID and age and bidding on stuff on E-bay. I think she has learned her lesson, having to go so long without her own computer.
Joyce I am sorry you are feeling so blue, I wish I could do something to make it all better for you and if I had a magic wand you know I would. One thing I know thought is NO ONE should go without chocolate, especially when they are feeling down. And I do thank you for the help with my cookies. See you knew more than me, I just though it was family corner since I hadn't done anything different to my computer.
Stacey I don't think I have a picture of just me but I'll see what I can do. May be one in some of the vacation film we just took and I'll be finishing that roll this week-end and will get it developed. Enjoyed our phone conversations. Geez I've been losing hair for the last year or so and getting a few white hairs but I didn't know that had anything to do with menopause which by the way I would more than welcome. Oh and my face has been breaking out also which it never did when I was a teen. No hot flashes, fuzz or emotional roller coaster though. About Emma I would get a string, tell her to open wide and YANK. $400.00 is a LOT of money for a baby tooth. You know I wouldn't really pull it out but ouch, that would hurt my checkbook especially this close to school starting. Glad Joyce and I were able to help pick you up but that is what we do around here, pick each other up. As soon as you get new tires on that van you need a ROAD TRIP. Anywhere will do, just get away somewhere for a day or two. It will do you, the girls and Keith good before you have to settle into the rigors of another school year.
Shanti I will keep Becky Webb and her family in my prayers. And also Mike. Are you going to be able to get Grey's meds. Sunday? You shouldn't feel bad about medicating Grey, you are only helping him to concentrate and pay attention and making his life less frustrating. All three of mine are either ADD or ADHD and all three improved so much in school after getting them on meds. They were wanting to hold Michael my oldest back a year before he got on meds because they thought he was a slow learner. Well he is going to be a SR. this year and he has made straight A's all through high school and received all kinds of honors and he is not just taking easy classes. For his SR year he signed up for Trigonomentry, Analysis, Anatomy and another computer class, plus he will be leaving half day at the high school to take classes at the Technical college. The only class he needs to graduate is an English class and electives, so those other classes are his electives. Yuck!! My electives would have been art, and all the easy subjects I could have picked for my SR. year. We struggled with Lacy and school and her grades last year but I think that was more just hitting 6th grade and friends and boys suddendly became more important than school to her. Hope she is back on track this school year.
Mule, I mean Pag
I don't know what happened to the pictures we took at the WH. I do believe Joyce is right and Kim took them. Maybe when she took my picture I broke the camera and the pictures never came out. I'll tell you what Joyce looks like though, she has long hair, she is tall (at least compared to me), her eyes sparkle when she laughs and she looks as kind as she sounds on the boards. Was IMP sad to see the summer camp end? It sounded like they did lots of fun stuff with the kids.
navy after the first day of no modern conviences it wasn't to bad. When we weren't in town running around we hiked, played basketball and we had taken several board games with us so it was kinda nice spending time together without the noise of the outside world. My baby is 12 1/2 now and that doesn't seem to kill me as much as my oldest growing up and falling in love.
Sharon trying to cram all that work into 3 days don't forget when you get to stressed to get you a cup of tea and go sit out on that beautiful porch of yours and watch the deer and wildlife run around for a few minutes. Hopefully all your company will come and go and you'll still have some of your sanity left (and some groceries also).
linnea, kim, martie hope things are going well for ya'll.
Good night,
mouse
PS. Shanti order out does indeed count.
