1. Hi Everyone! I'm baaaaack.

2. The festival gods were not kind to us for the Crawfish Festival. We couldn't open Friday night due to the rain. Saturday we opened but it shut us down early that evening. Yesterday it didn't rain, but it was cold.

3. I guess we shouldn't complain since we hadn't got rain since 1994 and it didn't shut us down.

4. The $$$$ situation will be bleak this year. But there's money in savings and I guess that's what it is there for.

1. Aw, Ddr, I'm sorry to hear that.

2. Tomorrow night is Kota's little league thing. Her team is running out on field with our minor league team for the national anthem. She is so excited. She's been practicing taking her hat off and standing just right.

3. I'm hoping to get some good pictures but since she'll be way out on the field, she'll end up looking like a little ant, lol.

4. My sister broke her collar bone yesterday. Not the first time she's done it.

5. It's not even 10 yet, and it is already hot here!

1. My big commitment thingy is over! It was hard, stressful, and very tiring, but o-v-e-r. Yay!

2. I still have 6 papers to grade in order to finish up the class that ended almost 2 weeks ago. I hope to do that tonight.

3. I start another class this Thursday, but I only teach 4 of the 8 weeks of the class. One of those I miss because of the Chicago trip, so I really only teach 3 of them. Then I don't teach again until the first week of August. I love this job.

4. I can't believe is it only a few weeks till the big Chicago trip. I have never been to the windy city, so I am excited.

5. The week after that I head to New Orleans for a wedding. The bride emailed me today and told me what song she wants me to sing.

6. I don't think I've ever heard it, so I have to go find it online now - "I never thought that I could love" by Dan Hill. Guess I have a new song to learn. I don't even know if I can sing it!

Thank you, Jmm! I have never heard this song and I can't find a download of it. I have been telling the bride for months that as long as it is a mainstream song, she could wait to decide what she wanted me to sing until the first of May. I can't even find this from any big Karaoke stores!! She's gonna have to pick something else, I think.

1. Congrats Spy!!!

2. I'm SOOOOO glad that a really stressed out message of 10 things got lost in Cyberspace. WHEW!! Today is a whirlwind, but much better.

3. It's finals week and I'm on a grading marathon. I am now back to drinking the caffinated Diet Mountain Dew. Lots of chocolate. Maybe some popcorn. I shoulda, shoulda, shoulda graded all these projects and papers earlier in the semester.

4. BUT I spent the whole semester trying to get another job. At least I was successful at that.

5. I'm having an impromptu yard sale this Friday and Saturday, since it is the once-a-year large trash day NEXT Saturday. I'm going nuts enough with the grading.

6. I also told people on Friday that I was moving and I now have FIVE families interested in buying my house. I spent Saturday out with a student in a van picking up repair supplies and porch carpet. I have a flock of students helping out and hopefully we can get the place fixed up.

7. My parents are coming Wednesday or Thursday to help with repairs and the yard sale and because I whined a lot. Make that a WHOLE lot.

Hopefully things will calm down next week when I'm teaching a summer intensive. Hmmmmm....that's INTENSIVE! HA!

8 facts, huh? Okay, I can do it:

1) DS is officially 16.....didn't expect the teary moments I had, but I sure love DS!

2) A special "shout out" Thank you to a little oval shaped vixen (Eggie) who emailed me the best parenting tips ever. Thanks Eggie!

3) DH has been sick with a cold. At least he's finally admitted he's a baby about being sick!

4) DS upheld his agreement with me and MADE ME go work out tonight! Brat!

5) My Rheumatoid Arthritis is really bothered by cold fronts we decided. Guess what came today?????

6) Nothing much good on TV tonight.....I am ready for Survivor.

7) My house is A MESS! But I ain't lifting a finger tonight.

8) Off to finish the spaghetti.....and a nice glass of wine!

Have a good evening everyone!

1. My son turned 4 yesterday. We had such a good weekend. Here is a new family picture...
family

2. We went to the Children's Museum on Saturday, it was a blast. We left Jenna with a sitter, so it was just Jake's time. We were there for almost 5 hours.
3. He had a party yesterday and he got all sorts of good presents and had a really good time.
4. We had ordered a ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery and it was yummmmmmmy!
5. This weekend hubby and I are going to Seattle to a baseball game, we are really looking forward to it.
6. The weather has been beautiful here all spring. I heard on the news that we have had 18 days over 70 degrees since Jan. 1st. Last year we had 4 at this time.
7. My roses are starting to bloom, it is a little early, but they look great.
8. Our lawn mover died while my hubby was mowing on Saturday, now our lawn is halfed mowed and looks funny.

Ack, 10!!! I haven't posted in this thread for some time, so I guess this will be make-up day!

1. Jewels enticed me here to see that pic. How sweet! Love it. What a great looking family. (No wonder your Jake and Jenna are so cute! Love their names!) Happy Birthday, Jake!!
smiley

2. DH has been sick with a stomach virus since Friday night. Still has it, but he is doing better.

3. I am glad I called my mom and kids to renege on an invitation to visit this weekend. That would have been a disaster.

4. I finished my Elance project (freelance online writing job--writing 'reading' passages for achievement tests).

5. My assigned topic was George Washington Carver. I knew a lot about him from college days, but now I am an authority on the remarkable man.

6. The only difficult part about writing testing passages is all the editing required to ensure the readability is on grade level. Even adding the term "African American" boosted the grade level up considerably--which was frustrating. But I got it done!

7. Someone moved in above us today. Hope I didn't make an enemy already. I had to ask his movers to move their dang truck 3 times before they actually did it. It was blocking my car and I needed to get to the store.

8. My son has been frustrated by the IRS. He filed early because he was due a refund and was just told today to refile! Course he had copies, and now he has a name and fax number, so he can send all papers to her attention.

9. Saw Moonie's new thread and web site for her Cancer Walk under the Caring forum. How wonderful that she is dedicating the walk to her mom and MOCHA!!!!

10. It rained (moderately) pretty much all day today, and the temp dropped to 45 this evening. I actually love that temp, and didn't mind the rain.

1. I have a doctor appointment this morning and I had to switch doctors because my insurance changed so I'm nervous about going to a new doctor. It's just a check up but still.

2. One of my snails died. I've had it for a long time and sometimes they stay still for awhile but I pulled it out of the tank and it STUNK! :-(

1. I think I killed my Impatiens.

2. I bought them on Saturday and haven't been able to plant them yet due to the yucky weather.

3. Today when I looked at them they were all droopy and wilted...help!!!

3.5 Froggie, I've noticed mine get droopy when they are thirsty, just water them in their flats and they should perk up.

1. I am officially a human pin-cushion!

2. I got a tetnus shot, blood drawn for a cholestreol test....ugh! But as far as anything they could tell right there, I'm healthy as can be.

3. I'm an inch shorter than I always though. I have always, always claimed to be 5'4"...they say I'm 5'3". I'm going to maintain that I am 5'4" because I am used to saying it, and because it seems so much taller than 5'3"!

4. I rewarded myself with ice cream afterwards. my favorite (one of my favorites anyway): Jamocha Almond Fudge!

Lol, Kaili...I'm 'officially' 5'4" also and I'm sure as time passes, I've probably lost some ground but just as you say...there's no way I'm gonna admit to being shorter than 5'4" ! hee hee

Oooooh, count me in on the ice cream...sounds fabulous.

1. Picked the neices up at 8:30 this morning. Poor sis looks just miserable.

2. Baby's morning nap was interrupted several times, so by 12:30 she was grumpy. Finally cried herself to sleep...just as I was getting the vacuum out, lol.

3. Tonight is Dakota's big night. She's worried about having to run out on the field, said her legs were too little and she wouldn't be able to keep up with the big baseball guy. (They are always very good about slowing down so the little ones keep up and reminding them about how to stand nice and still with their hands over their hearts, taking their hats off, and that they need to be quiet during the national anthem.)

4. Mow and I are supposed to have date night Saturday. Sis is supposed to keep the kids overnight. Two minor problems, her broken collar bone, and I think Sunday is Mothers day! Need to figure out if we're going to postpone it or change it to Friday night if sis is feeling up to it.

5. I have been working on a wedding album for my youngest bro and his soon to be wife. I've got about three and a half weeks left to finish it, but I am not making any progress at all. Every time I try to work on it something else comes up, and the times I can work on it uninterrupted, I'm not quite happy with what I've done or the fabrics and laces I've picked out and try to redo it.

Haven't posted here in a long while.
1. Went to the doctor today for allergies and other stuff.
2. I have been feeling like crying alot lately and when I told the doctor this, I started crying.
3. She wanted to give me a anti-depressant but I told her I'd rather see a counselor first.
4. Part of my plan to get un-depressed is to quit reading the news.
5. I love my husband.
6. I was too slow, I miss my kids being little.

1. My DD phoned me to tell me that she, her boss and the other two ladies who work at the bank branch, locked the doors and stood by the highway to greet the motorcade going through Michigan. After the SS and volunteers all passed, they saw the bus with Bush. He was standing in the front next to the busdriver waving at the crowds lining the road, and when the President saw my daughter's sign he threw her a "Dating Game" Kiss!
2. My son's little two year old daughter has my DD's coloring and eyes. DD and niece were on the phone and my DD wished she could understand what her niece was saying. That's when her niece - my granddaughter - then said "Oh shit!"
3. Uh, somebody's got some 'splainin' to do!
4. Someone opened all the windows today, one with the screen pulled away
5. I've been chasing 'Texas waterbugs' all evening with my trusty flyswatter
6. Uh, somebody maybe the same somebody's got some more 'splainin' to do!
7. A friend of my 16 year old granddaughter was killed in a car accident yesterday. DGD doesn't eat much but has been overeating all day today and got sick.

1. I now have new outdoor grey carpet on my porch. My students were fairly quick at stapling it down. I was amazed that the flooring wasn't in too bad of shape. They just need to glue the carpet to the concrete steps.

2. I stripped the old wax off of the worn out vinal in the kitchen. Now the kitchen smells like pee/amonia. I'll put the new vinal squares down later.

3. I need to grade papers again. Got yesterday's batch done. Fell asleep before getting any done for today.

4. I am now the proud owner of a caulking gun and an electric staple gun. That's it for me on the gun front.

5. I have a student working tomorrow who will be using said caulking gun to replace two broken windows in the garage.

6. I am feeling better about the house. AND the yard sale.

7. I let one of my student teacher's take my car today so she could get to her last day of student teaching. I will walk to work. She was driving like a grandma when she took it last night. Pretty funny, since it is a red sporty car!

8. Just got an email saying that NYU is forwarding my name and one other to the dean as finalists for the job. Debating whether I should actually tell them that I'm taking another job. ACKKKKK!!!
