1. Hi Factoids...it's been much too long since I've posted in here. Jewels, I see that you're still falling into those 9 or 10 facts to fill. 2. I was one of the lucky TVCHer's that went to Chicago this past weekend...well, Thurs-Sun. It was so much fun and I absolutely love the city of Chicago and the rich, rich historic buildings there....just awesome. And!, I got to see a real Cubbies game at Wrigley Field...I'm still drooling over that event!! LOL!! 3. I'll be going back to Chicago, but next time I'm taking my honey with me. Yes, Egbob doesn't know that he's going to be kidnapped by an Eggie and taken to Chicago for at least a week. Yup, I'm going to plan this in the next 2 years as it will take me that long to save for this trip and ALL the activities that I plan to do with Egbob while there....hee-hee!! 3.5 I've just got to mention that I'll be meeting landi for breakfast this coming Sunday! Egbob is driving me up to visit with my favorite sister and since landi will be in a nearby town with her dd, she and I will be having breakfast together. Yay!!

1. I'm still in PJ's, and its almost noon 2. DS is still in PJ's, but he's asleep on the LaZboy, wrapped in a sleeping bag 3 DS#2 has a final today.... what??? eeesh, I hope he studied!! 4. I took today off, too much stress, and too much drama for me yesterday! 5. I want to move, I'm thinking Colorado is a wonderful place to raise a family! 6. DD cried when she found out they seperated her friend (they sent home the list of next year) I fought so hard, but my arguments werent even considered, why do I believe what I say, what I believe, can make a difference. Much better to keep your mouth shut, and your heart to yourself. Now I need to find a new job.

1. I am in Illinois after driving about 650 miles. WHEW 2. It's really fun driving with your foot on an icebag and the air conditioning blowing on it (NOT!). The upside is that I can almost walk normally if my foot is really cold. 3. I have my 25th class reunion tonight. I hope I can fit my fat backside into one of the suits/dresses I brought. I'm gonna cram my swollen foot into a decent shoe come hell or highwater! 4. I go looking for a house on Monday. I hope that it is fun. I always like and dread househunting. I sigh a HUGE sigh of relief when I find the right house. 5. Reader....I was wondering if your dd's classes are set by reading level. We used to do that when I taught in multi-sectioned schools. OR maybe the girls are socializing so much that they can't get their work done. Or, maybe, you just have uncooperative administration. This isn't the end of the world....they will still have recess and lunch together and WILL see each other. 6. I was taking a nap and was awakened by my Dad hammering on the roof. "Come it" I shouted in my sleepy voice not knowing where I was or who was at the "door". I'm up for good now! 7. My class got me a card and a plant for our last day. That was very nice. The pizza was a big hit. Now to finish grading and to get the grades posted before our REALLY STUPID computer department cuts off my email because I am off of contract as of today. SHEESH! I asked if I could keep my account through the summer so I could notify people of my new email, and there are no gaurentees. The staff person I talked to was incredibly dense and didn't even realize that grades aren't due until Thursday. SHEESHHHHH, again!

No disrespect intended Schoolmarm, but I am so sick and tired of well meaning, caring, loving, kind people trying to tell me lunch and recess etc... its all my fault. The rest of the story centers around a hearing impaired son who had to be mainstreamed before he was socially mature enough, and they refused to mainstream him in the same class as the deaf kids, his peers - to him! and they used that excuse, and it was such a lame excuse, it did so much more harm than good. 2nd. ITS NOT ABOUT THE PLACEMENT>>> its about they gave me reasons why gf needed to be placed w/ dd 2 weeks ago, then a mom of a different pair of friends got her mouth in my business saying "its not fair to seperate my dd and not her dd " THAT"S the shit that stinks! That's what I was fighting. But, now I'm just another one of those mothers.

My son and the cat will be riding with me...poor DH will be all alone in his truck. 4. I can't wait to get to Six Flags...I love amusement parks. 5. I plan on buying a digital camera. I've been wanting one forever and geesh...ain't that what credit cards is for? 6. I met Az for lunch again today. Mexican again!! We are trying to fatten her up before we send her back to Singapore. I've been picking on her about taking bets on how much weight she will cam on this trip home. 7. My son says he is gonna try ice skating at the Galleria. I told him to find a cute little girl to help him. He said gosh Mom...thats a good idea. 8. I hope everyone has a good week. Tess and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

1. who here is sick of my facts? (please don't answer, that is s'posed to be RHETORICAL). lol 2. i forgot to tell you guys this morning (when i got in), that my friend and i both got hit on/asked out by men that were old enough to be at least our dads, quite possibly our grandpas! and get this, the one who hit on my friend had the same name as her dad, and the one who hit on me, was the same name as my dad's! 3. my "dad's" exact words to me were "do you want to go to breakfast and then go home with me?" wth?! my exact words to him were "excuse me? NO, i don't think so!" holy cow! they get braver and braver! i think my jaw dropped to the floor. 4. (((((reader))))) and ((((reader's dd)))). sorry to hear about your situation. i know that has to be tough on her. . 5. i had such a great day today! and it started out with NO HANGOVER! woo hoo! 6. dkitty was out of food and was crying about it first thing this morning, so i had to go to wally world and get some catfood. when i was there, in the cat aisle, no less, i ran into a lady i used to work with at a credit union. funny, because they (the women i worked with there) have been on my mind a lot lately and i was planning to go visit them. it was so good to see her! 7. i went to the pool and laid out for a couple of hours. i have a pretty nice tan now! 8. i went to the library and played online for a bit, and guess what i found in my surfing? the nashville star tour is coming to kansas city! woo hoo! i am hoping alterego and myself end up getting to go. apparently it is in some bar a lot like the one we hang out at, so it should be fairly inexpensive. 9. tonight i went to see shrek 2 with my friend and some of her family. i LOVED it! lmao! gotta love puss and boots! happy friday! everyone please be careful this holiday weekend!

1. Dang 10 facts, lol. Ok, I can do that! 2. Wednesday my neices and nephews came over for the night. Darren picked the baby up at 5 and we went to open house and the bookfair. The kids got two new books each, and got to show dad around their classrooms, introduce him to their friends, and got to show him what they do all day at school. The baby enjoyed it, and was in a great mood the whole time we were there. 3. The older three kids got here about 10:30, hyper and ready to play, 2 hours past their bedtimes. Took about an hour to settle them down and get them to sleep. 4. The kids were great Thursday though. They made cards and drew pictures for Caleb's birthday. It was a long day, but we had fun. 5. Mom came over about noon to help with the kids and keep them entertained while I got ready for Caleb's little birthday party. 6. They had a great time. Caleb had asked for Harry Potter stuff and got 4 new sets of HP legos. He's been happy for two days, lol, playing with them and putting them together with dad. 7. Darren had today off work. He always takes at least one day off around their birthdays. He took Caleb to school, ran some errands he had, then came home to take Kota to school. After that, we went out to buy a birthday cake. then we came home for a nap. I don't mind saying after having six kids here overnight and most of yesterday, I was worn out! 8. We spent this evening watching Miracle while Darren and the kids put together a lego set, then had birthday cake. Caleb's a bit upset that it was just us, and not a big party, and he doesn't really understand why he has to wait til next weekend to have it. 9. Tomorrow we will be getting ready for the wedding. Both kids need haircuts, plus I have to check to make sure their dress clothes fit and are ready for Sunday. 10. Sunday I'm going to keep the baby yet again. Sis and bil are both part of the wedding party and will have alot to do Sunday. They plan to take my older neice with them, since she can help to decorate and get set up. The baby will stay with us til we go to the wedding. My biggest problem will be getting the three of them dressed and keeping them clean long enough to get there, lol. 10.5 Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a very happy and safe Memorial Day!

1. My sisters and their kids are coming over today for a swim party and BBQ. My kids and grandaughter will be here too, and possibly my ex and his girlfriend too. Weird, huh? 2. I spent 6 hours in the ER lastnight because I'm having some complications post op, and will need another surgical procedure done in the next couple of days to fix it. Blech. 3. My volunteer job at the city hall is going very well, and I feel very good about it. 4. I have a wonderful new man in my life! He lives a couple hours away, but we keep in touch every day. I spent last weekend with him and we went target shooting, spinning the 4-wheel drive through the mud, played darts, and video games. I feel like a kid again!

1. My little bro's wedding was this afternoon. It was awesome! When my sis started dating my bil 15 years ago, I never once imagined these people would become as much my family as hers. It was nice to spend the day with cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends I haven't seen in awhile. 2. Weddings and new babies are always a great time for me to reflect on how much we've all changed over the years. All of us kids went to high school together and hung out together, and some of the changes are amazing, lol. Most of us are now married with children and have turned out to be fine adults, if I do say so myself, lol. 3. There were a few problems as the afternoon progressed. I volunteered to take care of my baby neice since sis and bil were part of the wedding party. She spit up on me several times, lol. I also ended up getting drenched with beer, and having someone drop a peice of wedding cake in my lap. My oldest neice got hit in the nose by a piece of flying ice (thrown by another kid) and bled horribly bad even though her boo boo wasn't too bad. Someone also told the kids after the ceremony they could go swimming. Unfortunately, none of the kids brought swim suits or towels, so we had a bunch of kids dressed in their best clothes soaking wet. By the time the sun went down, we had a bunch of kids dressed in their best clothes freezing and soaking wet. Other than that, it was a great day! 4. For us, the reception was over much too early. By 8:30, the kids were worn out and cold, and we had to leave. I was glad to see we weren't the only ones calling it an early night! When we were younger, we could party most the night away. Now that we all have kids, we don't really have the chance to do that. 5. I love my family, and am very proud of them. I have some great people who have allowed me into their lives and I will always be grateful for that. Which is a good thing. Next weekend, these same people will be coming to Caleb's birthday party. The weekend after that is a graduation party. And the weekend after that will be my neices birthday party. Finally, the weekend after that will be my nephews birthday party, lol. It's a very good thing we all get along so well and love each other, cuz we will be spending a whole lot of time together over the next few weeks!

1. I haven't been here in a while and some of the facts I'm going to write, you already may know.. I can't remember... so here goes! 2. I love dark chocolate, the darker the better! 3. I hate red beets, yucky yucky yucky! 4. I love to read~ True Crime, anything by John Grisham, Biographies, and sometimes even a cheesy romance novel! 5. I love to take bubble baths, and read cheesy romance novels while I'm taking one! 6. I love aromatherapy... I hope to learn more about it and use that as a means to relax or energize myself.

I haven't been here in forever, but it's been such an interesting weekend, I have at least 7 items to post. 1) Went to see Shrek on Saturday, in the first 10 minutes of the movie it sounded like someone was snoring really loud. A few minutes later people were jumping over seats carrying this woman and laying her on the floor doing CPR -- with the movie still going! My DH saw a young boy in the hallway crying and asked him what was wrong. Seems it was his mother they were working on! We stayed with him until his stepfather arrived while they took care of mom and transported her to the hospital. After his family arrived and took care of him, we went home but asked if we could check to see how he and his mother were later. We did, and unforunately, she had had a fatal heart attack and passed away. Such a tragedy for that little 13 year old boy. 2) Even though we thought it was snoring and didn't realize what was happening, I feel good that we were with that little boy and he wasn't alone. 3) Then on our way home driving into our complex, an intoxicated resident was involved in a hit and run and the police came. Since DH is the maintenance supervisor, he was involved. The resident was soooooo drunk and thankfully, only hit a parked car, but was trying to flee the scene before he was caught. 4) DS has been working like a dog at his new job. He is 16 and a cashier at KMart. He's doing well and has worked 32 hours this week. When we added up how much he made so far, it seems his feet hurt a little less! 5) My RA has been acting up badly. Cold front came through and I'm a hurting pup. 6) Have to type some stuff up for DH today, but that's about all that I have planned, since I already made the chicken noodle soup I've been craving! 7) Since DS has been working so hard, DH and I deep cleaned his room for him. What a mess. Hope the aisles at KMart look better than that when he is done with them! 7.1) See, told you it was an interesting weekend!

1. Wow Luv, that poor boy. How sad. I'm glad you were there for him. 2. This has been a really boring, really quiet weekend for us. 3. I watched lots of movies this weekend. 4. Lord of the Rings, Return of the King was one of them. 5. Casa de los Baby's was another. 6. Dumb and Dumberer was perfect for my afternoon nap. 7. I wish we were BBQ'ing today. 8. I hope everyone is having a safe, happy Holiday. (I forgot to mention that my bestest bud is in Las Vegas right now.. She flew there for the Prince concert.. Must be nice, huh? She called me last night and was having a blast!!)
