10.1 Jbean, don't you wish Lola would cooperate and stay a baby just a little bit longer? Max is getting so big so fast - it makes me sad.

1. I'm in Mt. Lake, Virginia. I left the cat at home, (Eggie, I saw that you wondered!) I have a student living in my house for the summer and she is feeding the cat and enjoying my pool....well as soon as the pool quits spewing sand, she will enjoy it! HUGS to everyone!

1. It's raining in NYC 2. I hope it doesn't rain here all day tomorrow, which would mean I stand in the rain all day. 3. The forecast is not good.

1. Today is my first day back at TVCH in 10 days. Occasionally I take a break when I have a lot going on in real life. 2. I've been going to physical therapy and I'm getting around so much better now! Whew, 10 weeks today since I broke my leg and I can get around with the walker and my Frankenstein boot so well that today we bought me a cane to use instead of the walker. Geez, I look like a little old lady with my walker and cane. LOL I've been out of the house 3 days this week! Yippee! I'm making up for so much lost time. We went to the PT Thursday and then out to dinner. Then Friday we went over to a friend's house to hook up their new puter and get them all set up and today we went to Wal-Mart. I love that they have the motorized scooters. Got the cane there for only $10 and got a few other little things. 3. I got a very sweet Mother's Day card from my daughter with pics of my grandbaby included. I'm going to scan them and put them in my folder if anyone wants to see them. Sierra's mommy got her ears pierced at the pediatrician! When did docs start doing that?? 4. I'm getting excited about so many things. I can't wait to go to the TVCH meet in London, OT and to FL for Sierra's first birthday Sept.3rd and just to get out and do some yard work soon! I love doing yard work and just as soon as I'm able to do the stairs by myself I'll be ready to get busy out there. We have a very small front yard and its mostly weeds so I'm going to dig it all up and put down new sod and make a flower bed in front of the porch, plus I have to plant some flowers in the big pots on the front porch. So many fun things to look forward to! Right now I have to spend a bunch of time catching up here!

1. So much for pool on Tuesday 2. Septic is backed up and not working - going to have to figure out how to fix it 3. Of course being a holiday weekend in Canada makes things that much more difficult 4. Seems that everything that we try and do to this house never goes easy. (using stickhlers pass again) 5. I had a funny feeling when the deck was built on Friday and it went so smoothly and the pool area being dug was easy that something was bound to happen to. 6. Well looks like after digging a bit around the tank, having the line "snaked" etc. it is still backing up. 7. Can you say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

7.2 There there, Skootz. I would point out something that IS going right, but sure as I mentioned it, that would go blotto too.

1. I'm not real sure how many facts to do...so stickhlers or no stickhlers-im just gonna type away and see what happens here.... 2. DH,DD my brother and nephew and I attended sunday services at a new church today.... 3. The last time I stepped foot in a church was about 8 years ago....way too long I know.... 4. DH and I had always talked about going, but then always came up with some excuse for not. 5. It was a great service and DD and nephew just loved Sunday school....we will definately be going back to this church. 6. After church we decided to take the kids to the beach so we drove all the way to Bodega Bay 7. We ate lunch at "The Tides" then made a HUGE sand castle on the very cold, very windy beach! 8. I have way too much to say to even finish by 10 facts, but if you stop by my folder I did post a few new pics!

1. Dakota seems to be feeling fine tonight. Of course with all the drugs she's taking, she might just be out cold! We started with flonase and astelin (both nasal sprays that work differently,) then took allegra and singulair, another couple puffs of her inhaler, and to top it all off some dimetap. My kidlet fell into bed, gave me a hug, said, "I love you mommy," and was snoring before I got the light off! 2. I talked to her teacher today and explained the situation and let her know how one minute Kota is feeling fine and then she's sobbing in pain. We decided that tomorrow she will go to school and if she starts to feel bad she will go to the nurse and lay down for a while and see if she feels well enough after a few minutes to go back to class, rather than sending her straight home. 3. I feel like I'm being a giant meanie, but I can't keep her home everytime her allergies bug her. Of course at the same time, we have to keep a close eye on her to make sure it stays an allergy issue and not another ear infection. 4. Now Caleb had a headache today. He went to the office at 2:30 and the health clerk called me to pick him up. The problem? They get out of school at 3. When my neighbor is driving, I go over about 2:30 and we get her litte ones buckled into their car seats and then head to the school. At that time of the day, they have a better chance of walking out to the street and putting him in the car rather than calling me! 5. He was fine once he had some tylenol and water! His headache started right after recess, well it was 95 outside. When they're at home they're not allowed outside when its that hot, but at school they get to play outside til it hits 100. Poor kid just got to hot and wasn't drinking enough water. 6. Once he felt better, I took him over to the 99 cent store. He decided he wants to have a bike race at his party this weekend, and I was trying to figure out how to make it fair when we'd have kids from 18 months to 14 years old participating. We decided everyone would win and get a little prize. He picked out all the prizes himself. I also bought little squirt guns so the kids can play with those. 7. I have been putting off grocery shopping since Friday. If I don't get over there tomorrow, we'll be eating cheerios and green beans for dinner, lol. I'm pretty sure thats about all I have in the kitchen right now. 8. My littlest "adopted" bro called today with interesting news. They finally got my nephew into the eye dr and he needs glasses. I've been telling them that for quite a while now! Nephew is a bit upset about it, but I told him once he put his glasses on and could see it wouldn't seem that bad. Besides he can join Caleb and my oldest niece in the glasses club. 9. My next door neighbor has been building something for a couple days. I heard him out last night sawing, he was out early this morning working, and right now at 11:30, he's sanding. Since Darren has to get up at 3:30 in the morning, and Kota really needs a full night of sleep it's a good thing our bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house!

1. Septic tank is leaking water out of the side of it. 2. Had a neighbour come over yesterday with his backhoe and we dug out the end and it drained. 3. He then took the took the old tile out that was leaking toward the pool area. We thought it would stop the problem. 4. Dh is up this morning and looked at the area and it is still leaking where the pool is dug. 5. We will get the pool eventually, but not right now. 6. I am very disappointed 7. Dh will try and parge the tank and see if that helps 8. I am sure we need a new tank, but we are unsure that we can get one with out a permit and spending about $5000 to bring everything up to code. 9. I am not as upset as I was on Sunday about this, but certainly had gotten me down that is for sure. 10. THe only good news is that the railing on the deck is being put up today. (note - I don't need my stickhlers pass for this post {whew}

1. It is such a beautiful day here in Richland, WA!!! I really need to go out and take a walk to take advantage of it. 2. I have been painting Bob's rock, and am so very pleased with how it is going. With luck I will be finished with it by this weekend. 3. The water in our underground pool is up to 78 and soon it will be warm enough for me to get in and swim.

1. I'm supposed to volunteer in Kota's class later today, but I think I'm going to postpone it and go in twice next week. 2. I will be busy scrubbing my house top to bottom getting ready for Caleb's little party. Normally I would not worry too much about it since the party will be outside, except that we're expecting some guests who scare the crud out of me, LOL. 3. My bils mother told me today she'd be coming. She's not really frightening but for the past 16 years has treated me like one of her own kids and she can get me flustered worse than my own mother can, lol. The other one coming is Darren's mom and her new hubby. She hardly ever comes to visit and between her and bils mom I've got this "everything MUST BE PERFECT" thing going on. 4. Dakota's meds seem to be working. She's still pretty congested but not as bad as she was even yesterday and she hasn't complained about her ears at all! She's feeling better, so of course Caleb was sent home at 12:30 today sick.

1) Day 3 of my vacation from work......and I'm up early! 2) Day 1 of my vacation was spent in the ER. I apparently had spasms of my esophagus or bladder or colon or intestines. 3) I NEVER want to feel pain like that again! It was worse than labor! 4) Day 2 was spent being very lazy and getting my new DVR from our cable company. 5) I let the installer leave before everything downloaded and it doesn't work. Day 3 will be spent waiting for them to return. Gosh, I love vacations!!!

1. High Five SCM! I'm addicted to Little Debbie Snack Cakes, too! I love their Oatmeal Pies! I have to have one nearly every morning with my coffee. I like their powdered donuts and the Iced Honeybuns! 2. I haven't been in the facts for a few days, so I'm trying to catch up. 3. I think I'm starting to get the hang of being Mr. Mom. 4. I posted some new pics of the girls in my folder. 5. Along with the beginnings of what some of y'all have been waiting for...I hope it comes across as good as I had hoped. I'm no writer and have trouble articulating my thoughts sometimes. 6. I'll get to the rest of it later...

1. I can't wait to read the rest Nick! Your little girls sure are growing up fast. 2. Caleb's baseball schedule is all messed up. I've made plans around the printed schedule and found out tonight that the remainder of it is incorrect. Something to do with the playoffs and rather they win or lose will determine what days they play. 3. Dangit this is a problem, lol. Next Thursday is open house at the school, which we can't miss. It's the one event Darren is able to go to each year and the kids really look forward to showing him around their classes. His game was scheduled for Friday night, now it might be Thursday. Not quite sure what to do if it's on Thursday, I don't want to have to choose between school and baseball (if it wasn't the playoffs it wouldn't be such a big deal for him to miss the game.) 4. We stopped by today to visit Kota's kindergarten teacher. She likes to stop by and say hi ever so often, but we haven't had much time lately. Anyways, she told me she's been hearing through the grapevine how great Kota's been doing in 1st grade. It's always nice to hear good things about your child from someone else. 5. We've known for awhile she's been doing great in school, but the last couple of weeks we have seen some huge growth in her. She's been reading, and pretty well, for awhile now, but last week she told us she'd be reading her homework from now on (usually we read the problem and she answers it.) She whizzed right through it no problem. This week she has been doing her homework pretty much on her own. She has come to us with a question or two and today brought a whole page she needed help with, it was a crossword puzzle which is kind of new for her. I'm kind of sad and amazed at the same time, she's able to work on her own and knows when she needs help but doesn't need me as much. 6. Today I washed walls. I hate that job, especially in the den which is all wood paneling. It wouldn't be too bad except it seems like all the heavy furniture is in here, lol. Both of our desks, a couple of bookcases, the kids tv and games. It's a lot to move and work around, so I finished one whole wall. Not too much progress, but out of all I have to do in the next couple days it's the biggest job I have. As long as I get it done tomorrow I'll be doing good. Still hate it though, lol. 7. This morning I turned on one set of sprinklers, took the kids to school, came home and turned them off, and the next set on. Then I completely forgot about them, lol. It was an hour and a half later that I realized they were still on! I'm thinking I can probably skip watering tomorrow.

Good morning all 1. Read your folder Nick, thanks for sharing your story, I have wrote comments in your folder as I can relate. 2. My back has been sore all week, I took muscle relaxers yesterday so I could get laundry and some other work done. 3. It is really sore today, so I think I will try and get into the chriopractor tomorrow morning. I have never had such a problem sneezing either. YIKES that hurts my back. 4. Wargod, reading about you cleaning your walls etc, makes my back sorer lol Good for you, I bet you will have a nice green lawn too with all the water it got. 5. We have solved the septic problem and the water leaking into the pool area. I called the pool company yesterday afternoon and they said that they would be starting sometime this afternoon on the pool. The pool company phones back and says that they are now coming the first thing in the morning and so is a load of sand etc. Yipee, the pool is finally going in. 6. This weekend I am going to the Stratford Festival Theatre and seeing "Cat on a Hot tin Roof" I am going with my sister-in-laws and 4 of us are staying over at hotel there. I cannot wait. 7. My mom is looking after the girls for the night so that will give my dh a break. I am hoping he gets out and is able to have a few "brown pops" and gets his mind off things. 8. Life has sure thrown us for a loop these past few months. So much stress, decisions etc. We can only hope it is onward and upward from here. Of course we still have major money matters to worry about too. Hope all will work out in the end.

1. I love the Little Debbie Oatmeal pies too Nic-I put them in the fridge myself... 2. I am completely finished with Jr. College and will be off to the University next semester 3. I had my last final last night and I am still in a bit of shock that the entire thing is done 4. I think I am scared to go to the "Real" college... 5. As a graduation/early birthday gift to myself I will be heading up to Seattle for the weekend to be with my girlfriends 6. Our flight leaves entirely too early tomorrow (8am) and I still haven't done any laundry or packed! 7. I got completely sidetracked while typing this because the Today show started talking about Johnny Depp and the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie that is coming out July 15th 8. I love Johnny Depp 9. I love reading everyones post in this thread...even if I never take the time to post something in direct response to a post 10. It has taken me almost 10 minutes to post this...(thanks be to Johnny Depp!)
