1. Wow, so hard to believe it is finally here! I hope everyone arrives safely and has a wonderful time in Texas. I hope they take more than butt shots. 2. Students graduate on Friday. All of them successfully completed EXCEL. We are having a catered lunch and they have picked Chinese. I am glad because pizza just wouldn't have done it for me. 3. One of my students just left on a coffee run. She is bringing Tim Hortons back for everyone. For my American friends, mornings are just better with Tim Horton's coffee. 4. Winter Carnival time in my hometown this weekend. My family is volunteering at the canteen at the hockey rink. That means that we work Friday night and Sunday afternoon. The kids are excited because it involves using a cash register. No big whoop for hubby and I, but I do remember how exciting toy cash registers were to me as a kid, so I guess they have reason to be excited. 5. Had an awful PTA meeting last night. I am there as a parent and sometimes it is difficult to keep quiet about things. The principal is not the best at compromise and as a result the meeting tends to always end of confrontation. I don't think that is the best thing to do with parents who are volunteering their time to be involved, however, that is not my call. I wish I didn't feel like I had to go. Maybe I will miss next month. 6. Hubby is waiting by the phone to hear about the contract bid. He is excited and anxious. Either way, doing the bid has been good experience for him. 7. We had an archietect to the house last night to finalize our renovation plans. Looks like I am getting a NEW kitchen and not just a new bathroom. I am feeling a little spoiled, but HOOORAAAAY for me! I am so lucky to have a hubby in the business. I'll post some of his thoughts in the home thread. He is a really creative guy. Have a good day Fondly Wappy

1. Don't worry, Jbean...you don't have to pack a matching dress or the wedding music or anything like that! Just don't forget your camera! 2. I will be throwing stuff into a suitcase Thursday evening. 3. I should have had a job in Human Resources. We have three candidates coming in next week. I am in charge of two of them. 4. At least the choir director will be back and I don't have to cover for him. I LOVED covering for him, though. I had 4 students ask if I was in the running for his job as he is retiring this year. 5. It is really nice to relax in my office a little bit. 6. Tomorrow isn't as bad. Teach two classes and do a GOB of paperwork. 7. Mixed rain and snow today. YUCK! 8. Need to get an oil change, I think. Can't remember getting one in Carbondale and I've lived here since August 1st. They changed it when the car was underwater the end of October/beginning of November, so I guess that that counts! 9. Can't wait to see everyone on Saturday. I'm a little sad that I will miss lunch on Friday, but I need to rehearse for the wedding. If I don't you will all wonder how in the world I got a music degree or two! LOL!

1. My son has developed his dad's sense of humor. He had to turn in his oral report today, I thought he had to give it too, but he didn't. 2. He got home from school, I asked how it went and he told me he got an F! He's worked really hard on it, I couldn't figure out what the heck went wrong til he started laughing and handed it to me. Little stinker got an A. 3. While I had to bring Kota home today for feeling crappy, we did have an amusing moment at school this morning. 4. I'm the first to admit that I have no fashion sense when it comes to dressing myself. As long as it's clean, matching, and comfortable I'm happy. But when it comes to dressing the kids, I love to pick out cute clothes for them. 5. Today she was wearing a new outfit. Tan, flaired jeans, a cream (with a hint of yellow) colored loose shirt, a yellow knee length knit sweater, and brown boots with matching belt. She looked so cute, even white as a ghost. 6. Anyways, there's a little boy in her class who has a crush on her, and he's not shy about it. I was sitting with a group with the little boy in it, but not her. She came up and asked me a question and a couple girls in the group were teasing her that this boy was looking at her (1st graders .) He totally cracked me up, he looked over and said, "Yep, I'm looking at her, I think she's cute, so what?" I don't know why, but that was probably the best thing I've heard all week, lol. 7. I'm supposed to go to Caleb's class tomorrow, but not sure I'll make it. Even if Kota is well enough to go to school, I have a bunch of errands I haven't been able to do this week and I'm seriously behind on housework. If she doesn't need me too bad (she rarely has much for me to do) I'll go in Friday. 8. Darren is going fishing Saturday with his mom and new step dad. He's been excited for weeks about it. 9. I will be sitting at the ball park watching Caleb try out. Last time we were over there they were taking about 3 hours to do that. I'm going to see if I can drop Kota off with mom or my sis, don't think she should be out there that long, especially with the weather the way it's been. 10. I should be going to bed but I just don't feel like it. It's nice and quiet right now and i'm kind of enjoying it.

1. Most of my class is away sick. I have managed to get all of next week planned. Hooray, that frees up my weekend. 2. We had company over last night for dinner, 5 people including 3 kids. I love having company, but hate cleaning up after. When I woke up this morning, dh was already unloading the dishwasher. I am so lucky!

1. My hot flashes have come back, I thought they were over, wrong. 2. I still need to finish washing and packing when I get home tonight. 3. I should've saved the suit I'm wearing right now for Saturday, I forgot I had it until last night.

Morning all 1. Was helping dh this morning in the barn..we got 375 new little piggies (about 40-60 lbs each) 2. I have a lot of housework to get done yet too. We are having family over on Sunday for dd birthday. I will be making food for 20 people. I am making a huge pot of chile with buns. MIL is bringing Jello, sil is bringing salad, other sil is bringing brownies or something other than cake for dessert. I will also have buns, applesauce, cake, vegies etc. for the meal. It seems like a lot, but I went and purchased paper plates etc. so it is much easier. 3. Got 1/4 to 1/2 downstairs done, but need to dust and clean both living rooms and clean my office room...since it will be seen and it is messy. Still cleaning from my audit last year and have to reorganize and get old files away for 2004 and get 2005 on the move...some day, some day 4. Well, off to have lunch and clean some more. It is not even noon here yet and I am starving...perhaps I will have some ham - seeing all those pigs made me hungry :

Wargod, your #6 fact made me laugh. Just yesterday, I was discussing young crushes with someone. I was doing a craft project with some children. This 5 year old boy told me he wanted to make a valentine card for this little girl. He was so serious about liking her...I thought it was so cute. I remember thinking a boy was cute when I was 5 years old...but I didn't have much of a crush on him. Are crushes starting younger these days? lol

1. Good Morning TVCH. I hope everyone is doing well today. 2. I had a crush on the same boy in the 1st and 2nd grade. His name was Sandy. He was so cute!! 3. I am off today but have junk to do. I would rather stay in my nightie all day. 4. I need to get my oil changed and my jeep inspected. 5. I got a roast going in the crockpot and it is smelling good around here.

1. I'm watching Ellen right now on tape.. I think that's one of the highlight's in my day. Always a good laugh or two when watching her. 2. I wish the new Survivor started tonight. I hope it's a good season. 3. DH is going to make roast beef taco's tonight. We had them with hamburger last week and it just wasn't the same. (we do fried flour tortillas...yumm) 4. Today was the 3 week mark for the "return" of my new wheelchair. Haven't heard a word, so I bet I was right when I said Valentine's day. 5. For being Feb sweeps, I'm upset that so many shows are in reruns, but it has made some days easier for me to manage. (Taping and viewing wise..) 6. DH brought home "Ray" and "Vanity Fair". I probably won't see them until the weekend, but I can't wait to see "Ray."

1. I am such a bonehead sometimes. 2. Since we added two new meds each month for Kota, on top of the two she had, I've been a little worried about the money. Co-pay is $30 for each non generic prescription (all hers our name brand) and so we have to redo our monthly budget to inclued the new scripts. 3. Then I feel guilty. Cuz we're talking about my child's health and one way or another, she's going to have the meds she needs to stay healthy and feeling good and I shouldn't even be worrying about how much it will cost. It doesn't matter, it's not important, all that is important is she has to have them and not being concerned about money. 4. Now why am I such a bonehead? Because tonight standing in line at the grocery store I read a sign about using your health care flex plan to buy some meds there. And it hit me, Darren's been contributing a certain amount of money each month for a couple of years exactly for stuff like this! If I am remembering right we have $500 a year to use for medical expenses. I've got to get him in to talk to his insurance lady about it cuz this is the main reason he's been using this plan at work! Sometimes I could just kick myself, lol. 5. Abby, yes, crushes start earlier and earlier, lol. Dakota really doesn't see the big deal. She says she likes a boy all she means is that she likes him, he's her friends, she's not thinking of crushes. She does realize he has a crush on her though. I've got to say he's an awfully sweet kid. He's always helping her, playing with her, and when she fell off the monkey bars and started crying he tried to make her feel better. When he couldn't he figured out exactly what to do...he went and found Caleb (the yard duty aid probably would have been better, but he knew she'd feel better with her big brother there.) 6. Caleb on the other hand is a completely different child, lol. He's had crushes and girlfriends since preschool! In kindergarten he came home and proudly told us his girlfriend was the cutest girl in class. 1st and 2nd grade it was the cute little twin girls who were his girlfriends. This is the year we're pretending girls aren't that interesting, lol. He's got friends who are girls but if you even hint he may be interested he gets defensive. 7. Mom called today and asked if I'd go with her for her mammogram next week. Normally she wouldn't ask me or sis cuz she wants us to think she's not worried, but the person who usually does this for her has her own health issues and mom doesn't want to worry her more. I am scared. After losing our step dad and watching another parental figure battle a terminal illness, knowing mom has found a lump has scared sis and I half to death. But we can't show that or mom would completely shut us out because she doesn't want us to worry (silly mom doesn't she realize we're going to worry even if we try not to show it?)

1. Good morning TVCH. 2. TGIF!!!!!!! This has been the longest week ever. I'm glad it's over and I'm looking forward to the weekend. 3. Amazingly I finished all of my Science recommendations sheets early. Now if I could just keep up with the laundry at home, things would be just perfect. 4. Just found out that two of my trouble makers are suspended for a couple of days. That will make my last period of the day go so much smoother. 5. I decided I watch way too much TV. I'm cutting out a couple of soaps. I'm only going to read the recaps online. We'll see how long that lasts lol. 6. DH rented "Alien vs Predator" last night. I feel asleep early so I didn't have to watch it with him (yay!!). 7. I can't seem to stay awake past 10:00 pm lately. I guess my body is telling me I need more sleep. 8. Enjoy the weekend .

1. Boy this thread was dead today. 2. I was gonna post my good mornings but I was too content laying in bed watching tv. Then I got up, saw it was 9 facts and knew I wouldn't have time before work. 3. I am so pissed. I set the vcr at work to record ER last night but forgot the channels were diferent in the town where I work. I had the Weather Channel instead. 4. I had planned on watching it while I was eating my lunch. Phooey!! 5. I leave tomorrow for a night at the casino. 6. We usually stay at the Hollywood but we have a comp night for the Horseshoe. 7. We have never stayed there before so I am anxious to see which place I like better. I know I like the machines better at the Horseshoe but we have worked our way up into some good comps at the Hollywood. 8. I was hoping to hear more from the folks that are in Texas. Oh well, they must be having too much fun to worry about us. 9. Have a nice weekend. I'll be back Sunday night. It will probably be dead again since it is the Superbowl.

1. I am so excited for Spy! Congratulations!! 2. I just realized I really don't have 10 facts. This is going to be tough! 3. I can't wait to hear more stories from Texas and PICTURES! I WANT PICTURES! 4. My kids are watching Dora the Explorer. It is so quiet in my house right now I feel like I am the only one home. They must be mesmerized. 5. My DH just left to go get his nails done. Okay, maybe I should re-word that! Last year for Father's Day we gave him a gift certificate to a men's salon for a hair cut, massage and hand & foot detailing. 6. Last weekend he finally went to use it, but they forgot to do the hand detailing so he has to go back this morning and have it done. I have been teasing him about what color polish he is going to have put on. 7. The kids and I made the cutest Valentine mobile a couple days ago. It is hanging above our dining room table. Jake cut out all the hearts and Jenna decorated (scribbled on) the part that the hearts are hanging from. 8. We also glued foam hearts on to cut out hearts to decorate the house with. They did such a good job. 9. I'm not sure if I am going to watch the Superbowl or not, it's hard with kids running around. Before we had kids, DH and I would make all sorts of junk food, watch the game and pig out. 10. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Especially Spy and Flyboy!

1. Hi all, just one fact..ok, I will make it a long one. Kids just home from swimming lessons, having a bowl of soup and then they are off to the rink for skating lessons. I have a big pot of chile already made for tomorrow, I made sure that there is enough so I don't have to cook tonite either. Love reading the reports from everyone in Texas and I want to wish Spygirl and Flyboy a wonderful day of lots of love and great memories.

1. Wow!! It's a Spy wedding day today!! WOW!! It's so exciting!!! 2. We finally gave in and bought a new Dell puter, yesterday. I really hate to give up my Windows '98 and AOL 8.0, but this old thing is seeing it's last days. I haven't even downloaded my new Sims 2 game, yet. My dh got it for me for C'mas! lol So now we'll have the suped up model that will hold everything we ever need and more! 3. It's a beautiful day here! I took the pups out and enjoyed some playtime with them. They are so cute and funny to watch as they tear around the backyard!

1. WOO HOO Spy and Flyboy! I'm so excited for them! 2. Kidlets woke me up at quarter til 7 this morning screaming the living room was flooded, it was the water heater. I flew out of bed, changed into jeans, threw on my shoes and came out expecting to see 40 gallons of water on the floor. Wasn't anything that drastic, a puddle on the tiles, little bit of wet carpet, but it was indeed the water heater. I shut the gas off to it, and the water, and by 5pm Darren and his buddy had taken the old one out and had a new one installed. Romantic as it sounds, when Darren got home from fishing, I told him I wanted a new water heater for Valentines day, lol. It was the easiest way to break the news to him. 3. We took the kids out earlier to practice baseball. At one point, Caleb hit the ball, that sucker flew through the air quite aways before it hit the ground. Best part of that (besides showing him once and for all what we've been telling him for a couple years....when he connects with the ball, he's a heck of a batter!) was that Kota was feeling pretty good, she chased that ball down, ran back to us, threw the ball, and got down into a catchers position. For the first time this week, she was able to get outside and play and not need to lay down and take a nap afterwards or feeling cruddy. Took almost a week, but she is finally feeling good! 4. Took Caleb to try outs. He did pretty good. He also had fun and told us he can't wait til practices start so he can get out and play more often. I love that they both enjoy playing. It's so good for them to get out and have fun exercise.

1. Had a fantastic time in chat last night. Ladies you really kill me! 2. Today was the last Sunday for me to lead the worship service. I am looking forward to being a parishener again. The service went well and I appreciated all my family special helpers. 3. Just got back from working the canteen with my family at the local hockey arena. I am glad to have that 2.5 hours of bedlam over with. We sold out of everything. I don't care if I ever see another french fry again...oh don't I wish! 4. Thought I would quickly pop into the club to see if there were any pictures posted of the special day. I was so glad to read sply's update. 5. Well a couple more posts and off to the hottub for me!!!!!! Yeah, a lovely end to a lovely weekend.

1. I am home from the casino broke but we had fun. 2. A scary thing happened though. My son got a chicken bone stuck in his throat. I tried to do the heimlech but didn't know what I was doing. 3. Luckily there was a little with training at the next table. She was able to get the bone popped out. It was a good 1 1/2 inches or more. 4. Tomorrow I start opening my tanning salon at 7am. It is gonna kill me to get up so early. Seriously, it will kill me. 5. The beds at the Horseshoe had the best mattress. It felt wonderful. I wish I had one like it at home. 6. Well..off to unpack. Hope to hear more from the Texas trip tomorrow.
