1. It's been a few days since I have posted, but I have been kind of keeping up on the goings on around here!

2. I just kicked a chair (yet again!) as I was walking into the den, now my toes hurt.

3. Jake had is 2nd dentist appt. this morning and did a great job again. They think they may be able to finish in one more appt., but they have to do a crown (or is it a cap?) so it depends on how that goes. He is such a trooper. The dentist is hilarious with kids, I am so glad I found a good children's dentist to take him to, I think he would be petrified if it was a regular dentist.

4. Congrats on the job Froggie! Yay!! Eggie, your new offer sounds wonderful!!! Congratulations!

5. Kaili, I know you've posted it before, but when was your friend due? And she can't have an epidural? I, personally, wouldn't make it. Although, with Jenna they wouldn't let me have for a long time, then by the time they gave it to me she came within 20 minutes so I never really got to enjoy it anyway!

6. I hope you feel better for your vacation Kaykay. We have been fighting stuff around here for 3 weeks, it just keeps getting passed back and forth and is driving me crazy.

7. War, did yo uand Darren ever get your weekend away? I think you need it!!

1. I put an offer in on a Dutch Colonial House, and I hope that they take it! It has a HUGE private backyard with a pool and cool deck. GREAT fireplace in the study and lovely kitchen.

2. There were about five houses that I could have bought, so if this one falls through, I have back-up.

3. I am very tired from house hunting and banking.

4. Carbondale is lovely.

5. The drive down there wasn't! We were ahead and behind tornados all the way. "Oh, look, Mom, there is the NBC satelite truck!" "WHAT was that town on the tornado warning?" About blew off the road south of Springfield and then kept my finger on the scan button for radio reports. Problem was that Mom and I have not really been that far south in Illinois and we didn't know the counties or town names. She's searching on the map and I'm driving. She's not real great with maps. She thought that Mattoon was a suburb of Chicago! Where is Tess when we need her!!

6. I had REALLY great realtors!

7. WHY would anyone paint their WHOLE HOUSE pepto bismal pink???? WHY would anyone put the gate to their pool in their BEDROOM??? WHY would anyone show a house that had three inches on slime in their hot tub? YUP, these were the houses for a laugh!

8. I'm very tired and won't be posting on the rest of the board for a while. Tomorrow I have to finishing grading papers and do research in Springfield and drive back to PA. It will be a long one!

1. My best friend is getting her labor induced this morning. The doctor doesn't like to let people go over 2 days past their due date.

2. They wanted her there at 6 am. HaHaHa! They don't know Carolyn very well!

3. I'm excited- I got off work tomorrow to go down there and see Leif/Maya (she doesn't know the sex yet).

4. Last night I went on the Northwest airlines website to check the hotel partners for WorldPerks miles (for tomorrow). Now I see this Dining for Miles program they have. OMG I wish I knew about it sooner. I looked at the list of places in this area you can eat at- there are two places that I go ALL the time. Every weekend pretty much Tim and I go to the brewery. Yeah. Miles- 10 miles per dollar spent including tax, drinks, tip.

5. I also found out that signing up with Earthlink gets you 5,000 miles. i wish I had known that when I signed up for it a year ago.

6. I got my haircut yesterday. I paid $27 for a haircut that literally took under 10 minutes. The place I go to has two levels of haircutters- $18 or $23- I always always always hate my hair so I said I needed the higher level one because "I'm a mess". LOL I like it- she did a good job.

7. Did I mention Tim bought a new home theater surround sound set up last weekend? Well, Monday actually. We were at Best Buy- no kidding- for 2 hours. I'd like to see him patiently wander around Target or Kohls or the shoe store or something for that long!

8. It's going to be beautiful today- low 70s and not a cloud in the sky. Bring on the mosquitoes! It's going to be 75 tomorrow. My favorite weather :-) I think I'm going to pick up some DEET today.

9. The angelfish eggs- turns out neither is a "Nigel" or an "Otis". None of the eggs were fertilized (they turn white when they aren't fertilized) so I'm going to have to assume that I have two females.

1. Ack Ack! 2 of the sociology classes are now closed. One of the film classes is as well.

2. The third sociology class has 30 open spots as of about two minutes ago. Geography class has 9, and an astronomy class (that I might seriously consider taking just to get in something if I can't get anything else, lol) has 8 open spots left.

3. Problem is my appointment is not til June 8. Unless something really strange happens, there is no way I'm getting one of these classes and will have to select from my backup choices.

4. Oh well, a class is a class I guess. I'll be happy with pretty much anything at this point.

5. I'm not going to tell Marm what color my house is, lol!

6. I made some awesome grilled chicken soft tacos last night. Also made homemade salsa and guacamole (no one fall over, they actually came out great!)

7. I'm getting ready to have left overs now, lol. I never eat breakfast, and rarely eat lunch (I tend to forget it when the kids are in school) but they were good, so I'm having more!

8. Dakota and I had to pick up her inhalers from the pharmacy this morning. As usual the wait was awful. She sat on the floor with her crayons and coloring book until we were done. She was so good, didn't get antsy, was just being very well behaved. We got done and walked out, as soon as we hit the parking lot she started whining for a happy meal. When I told her it was too early for a happy meal and that I didn't have any cash, she threw a full blown temper tantrum. Not sure what was up with that!

9. Her class is learning how to square dance. They are having a party on the last day and inviting all the parents to come. They will be doing their square dancing and singing for us. She's very excited about it.

10. Caleb has raced through the first Harry Potter book. He's only got about 20 pages left, so tomorrow I'm going to have to go buy him the second book. We used to have all of the books, but they somehow mysteriously disappered. Of course, they'd been loaned out to just about everyone we knew and were about to fall apart so it was about time to replace them anyways.

1) I just drove into town and I saw a sign that said "Elect SAGE for Sheriff"....and I thought to myself..."Man! Sage is getting serious...first she takes up a gun...and now she is running for sheriff!"

1. Marysafan, that is too funny!

2. Spitfire...ouch! 4 times a day...yowza! Good luck with keeping your sugars within the norm.

3. I just returned from a super formal interview for the possibility of a new position. I'm a wanted woman...LOL! My prospective new Director is taking my salary suggestions to Admin and she'll get back to me tomorrow or next Monday. So we'll see...

1. I'm waiting too but I still haven't heard from her! She was scheduled to be induced at 6 am- so I figure with paperwork and prep and all that maybe it would start at 9. Her husband was supposed to call once it was born....maybe she's having a hard time, or maybe they're just busy.

2. I got an interview next Wednesday. I need a summer job now that school is out and there's no classes to sub for. The interview is for being a Program Director for the Junior Achievement program in Oshkosh. It pays okay and it's only 15 hours a week, but I have another job anyway that I work at 20 hours a week. It's summer- i don't want to work too hard!

3. I got an oil change today and I asked them to look at my rear brakes. Not because they aren't working but because I've never replaced them. Surprise, surprise they say that I have to get new everything (drums, etc). And for a meager $324.94. Funny- Tim did his brakes himself a month ago for $70 after being quoted about the same. I think Tim's going to be doing my brakes :-)

4. Good luck with the job Eggie!!!!!

1. Luvmyjrt, I just noticed you don't have a folder anymore! I wanted to tell you how much I respect you and your DH for helping that young teen. You have beautiful hearts.

2. I just posted an obituary notice in my folder. It is a beautiful tribute to the Laura I mention in my folder.

3. My goodness, Kaili, was your friend able to get past all that water to get to the hospital? Hope everything goes fine. Let us know!!

4. Spitfire, I know you will eat well and rest when you should. I had a friend who had this, and she needed lots of bedrest in the latter part of her pregnancy. Good luck to you in getting through this unwelcome hurdle.

5. Good pondering, Eggie. Good luck witht the decision!

(Kaili, don't tell your friend this story! When I went into labor with Dakota there was somewhere around 15 other women in labor. Most of them belonged to the same doctor, who was going out of town around their due dates and they had chosen to be induced before he left. I had gone in about 3am Monday morning. These women had been there since Sunday Morning..so around 24 hours. Dakota was born around 9:30am, the first of the induced women to give birth was about four hours after that. It could be sometimes tomorrow before she has the baby, though I hope she doesn't have to go that long!)

2. good luck eggie darlin! i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

3. school is finally over here in the napa valley. graduation is today/tonight depending on what school you go to. i live by the stadium, so my neighborhood will be packed with cars, and we'll hear screaming people until 11 or so.

4. holly has had her first day without stomach problems. waiting for lab results. she had to go do lab tests right after her junior high graduation yesterday.

1. I played "hookie" today from work!
2. I have loved every second of it too!
3. First, I dropped DD off at her last day of school, then I hurried back home into my warm comfy bed and watched the tape of the finale of Joan of Arcadia that Skootz was so kind to send me!
4. LOVED that! Then I went back to dd school and took pictures with the Canon 35mm camera we have of all of her friends and things she wanted to remember (since she will not be returning to this school next year)
5. Came home to a clean house and another surprise-DH bought tickets for tomorrows first showing of Harry Potter!Woohoooo!!!!
6. I am in a really good mood and the next week will be wonderful-I have been surrounded by old friends because of this upcoming wedding we are all in and this next week (leading up to the wedding which is on the 12th) is going to be filled with fun with the girls!

p.s.- I am even watching Starting Over! I haven't been able to do that since I started working it seems!

1. Playing hookie is fun, Yay Silly!

2. I just finished washing my breakfast and lunch dishes and realized I was missing a cereal bowl. After searching the house and out back (Dakota will use anything to dig holes with, lol) I realized the reason she was so grumpy this morning. She didn't eat breakfast!

3. She has always had a little attitude as soon as she gets hungry. I learned long ago not to leave the house without packing a snack for her, even if I think I'm only going to be gone a few minutes. I did have a baggie of crackers but by the time she had her little temper tantrum it would have been too late even if I had realized hunger was the problem!

4. Landi the kids got happy meals over the weekend and Kota was so unimpressed with the neo pet that she gave it away, lol. When they did the barbies, we were eating happy meals everytime you turned around! Not only were we collecting all of them for Kota but also for my neice.

5. With the wedding last weekend, we knew we couldn't have Caleb's party. We briefly considered doing it the weekend before his birthday but little bro and new sil told us they had too much to do to prepare for the wedding. Since I did too, we postponed til this weekend. They got back from Vegas last night and told my sis that they're taking the boys camping this weekend. I'm a little disappointed, but worse, they told Caleb they'd be there and he'll be upset to find out his cousins and uncle and aunt are coming.

6. So, I'm disappointed and Caleb will be crushed. But, I figure they can't plan their life around my kids birthday parties. Sis and bil, on the other hand, threw a fit. And chewed them out over it. We postponed his party to make it more conveinient for them to come, and now they aren't. And after everything I did for them last week (keep in mind at this point, I had no idea what was going on, I didn't even find out til later!) the least they could do is keep their word to Caleb.

7. Now I feel bad because they shouldn't have to plan their activities around anyone else. If they want to go camping, go. I know that sometimes things come up and you have to skip out on other plans. I still wish they hadn't told Caleb they'd be there if there was a chance they might not be, but I wouldn't have jumped their cases about it. I did make little sis promise she'd apologize because I wasn't too happy with the way she went about the whole thing!

1. eggie, congrats that is great! <keeping fingers crossed>


2. we had a blood drive at work today, and i donated. i always do when they are there (except i hadn't in the last year because you have to wait a year after a piercing, and it had just been a year from my nose piercing in march).

3. as usual, i got the runaroud about my allergy medicine that i take, but as always the medicine was on the approved list.

4. the needle didn't hurt at all this time, and that is usually the bad part for me. they said they have a new kind of sharper needles (nice to hear, huh?), and they go in much easier than the other ones they had been using.

5. for my donation, i received food and drink (to get you back on your feet) and a survivor-ish themed t-shirt (i got the last one, too). it says outreach, outgive, outshine. perfect, since i'm a survivor freak!

6. our hr assistant nearly passed out/got sick, lucky for me, i am not squeamish at all about the whole thing.

7. i watched that new show summerland on the wb tuesday night. it was really good, and i will probably pick it up for my viewing schedule. (gotta love summer series', i would be bored to death otherwise, lol)

1. Last day of school, and they are packing it to tear it down... My way of thinkingif the teachers wait till this long to pack, then just throw it in a box, and deal with it in September in the new building...

2. Everyone laughed and had a good time... and I was working w/ my friend, dd new (2nd) grade teacher... she made me promise that we would continue to be friends (we team taught 10 years ago, and job shared summer school - I do love her!) I promised to help her unpack, organize, and clean...

3. All the teachers gathered at the 6th grade teachers home for a picnic, and one of the teachers asked if I would do summer school for her, hmmm 2 hours a day 4 days a week, 2,000 dollaars, yeah I'll think about it!!

4. DD last day of school, one of her classmates brought a knife to school... yep, it was innocent, he took that backpack with him camping and it was a lil swiss army knife, I found him with tears streaming down his face, dd said "I didnt do it mom" jeessh, I yelled at the kids for giving the boy a hard time on his last day, and took him to the nurse, the nurse called the mom, and mom came (school was only one hour today!)

5. DS #2 is playing his bassoon for the high school graduation.

6. #1 DS still hasnt moved out of the house since we've been home...

7. Tomorrow I'm taking him to the community college, and getting us a land line phone, and... maybe buying dd a new bed.

8 The sun shone brightly today, and no one mowed the lawn.

1) works been great all wk (gosh I love 4 day work wks - I could get used to this on a regular basis - too bad we don't get a Mon. holiday every wk.
2) I need to schedule some vacation (I have almost 4 wks to take or lose b/4 the end of the yr) It's been so busy around my office that I haven't been able to do anything about it.
3) found out that my daughter's baby (due the 1st part of Nov.) will be a GIRL! We haven't had a girl born into our family since my daughter who will be 26 in Sept.
4) nothing on TV for me tonight.
5) The DS STILL has his job he got Tues. My fingers are crossed that he'll stick with this one.
6) I'm basically a happy camper at this time - NO age related hormone stuff going on, I guess.

1. I just got home from the last task of the year that my Junior Class Officers and I had to do. We had to help with the Senior Awards Banquet tonight.

2. Before it started, my officers presented me with a thank you gift for helping them through the year.

3. I was so touched. And it was a NICE thank you gift! It was a $50 gift certificate to the local mall!

4. They are great teenagers. I am lucky to work with them and am looking forward to being their Senior Class Sponsor next year.

5. Please remind me that I said this next school year when I am pulling my hair out at homecoming.... and convocation.... and the Powder Puff Football game... and Prom..... and GRADUATION!

6. Reader's #8 above reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter poem by Lewis Carroll! Just the whole "sun shining brightly" thing. "The sun was shining on the sea, shining with all its might. He did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright. And this was odd because it was the middle of the night!"

7. 11 more working days until SUMMER VACATION!

8. 24 more days until the beach!

8.3169 1 more day until HARRY POTTER!!!!!

9. I have PLANS for the weekend! I am not sitting at home alone! Yay me!

10. I think the facts are out of whack again so I'm going to 10 and the next person can just start over. And with that, I bid you farewell with these last words, "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

1. I became an official resident of Kansas today.

2. My little Toby dog is scheduled for a biopsy in 6 hours. He has a knot on his neck and we don't know what it is. I'm pretty worried but can't think about it...I have to wait 10 business days to find out - so 2 full weeks.

3. I am going to see Kenny Chesney Sunday - front row center seats!

4. They put the siding on my house today (it has half siding).

1. It's 5 am and I am FINALLY home! I drove through the night because I have a bunch of papers to grade and grades are due at noon. Thought I would check the board before I started in on them....or maybe I'll take a little nap while listening to German news in German.

2. It's COLD here. I've been in 80 degree weather all week, and actually have a tan. Now my house is 62 degrees and it's colder outside. SHEESH!

3. The sellers ACCEPTED my offer to buy their house! Parklike backyard and pool, here I come! This is an awesome house. If I weren't so tired, I'd be more excited.

4. My organ student's mother died yesterday, so I have a funeral to go to. She panicked with me gone, so got a local music teacher to play the service. Her mom has been really sick for a really long time, and was supposed to have died years ago.

5. There is great shopping in Carbondale, and the people there seem very normal. I wonder how much the town changes when the university students come back. I think that I'm glad that my housing development is technically out of town and one lake away from Carbondale. I can still be at work in 10 minutes or so, and the mall is even closer. Ok, I'm waking up enough to get excited now!
