2.2 HP, did you see one of the producers, etc. in one of the crowd scenes of the finale? I recognized him from the special before the finale.

6.1.5 - Marej- Thanks for the advice for the mall. My shoes are polished and DH's credit is available (just kidding). I'm hoping that there will still be some good sales when I get there!

1. New rule - everyone gets to go to a hotel for anniversaries!!

2. Try and iron out the rules with babysitters, and children BEFORE you go!!

3. why? well, otherwise you may get a few calls from dd who will lay a guilt trip.... esp when one of the calls comes at 3:30AM!

4. When dd calls at 3:30AM, what happens? DH calms her down, and I think of Reiki!! LOL, you have to read Reiki's blog on an encounter at a New York hotel!!

5. I'm now thinking of poor Escapee - do go to the doctor!! I also know what it feels like to wake up in the middle of a good sleep wet, thinking *you* did it!!

6. DS wants to buy a laptop... anyone have any extra money laying around you dont know what to do with?

7. DD8 doesnt start school till AFTER Labor Day! Boys are in school now, I have a senior in High School, I am not ready, I am so not ready!

1. Reader's DS needs to look at the Apple educator/student buy program, there is something of a deal involving a free mini iPod right now.

2. I have had three migranes/sinus headaches since returning to work. I asked them to clean the filter on my air-conditioner, since I have lots of allergies, and I'm thinking that something is growing in there.

3. Vaccuumed the pool today. I can see the bottom, but the water isn't clear yet. It's getting better!

4. I got my controversial research paper accepted for a conference in BIRMINGHAM...anyone here from Alabama?

5. I can't find my pocket calendar! I hope that I remember all my extra meetings! I know that I have an extra 8 am tomorrow.

6. I am less tired today, but I took a nap on the loveseat in my office. I also didn't teach any classes, just set up a fund raiser and a bunch of paperwork.

7. It was cooler today but I didn't get home in time to mow the yard. Hopefully, it will be cooler tomorrow and I can get home in time to mow.

8. I am glad to have the students back at school. I'm also glad that my headache is gone right now!

7.1 Marm got any high schoolers around your neighborhood? We've been paying the 15 year old from across the street to do ours. Works great, he's earning a little cash, Darren doesn't have to do it anymore, and I don't have to gripe at him when it takes him too long, lol.

1. Anyone remember my first story about my trashy neighbours next door that crashed my new fence? They had a big drunken party last night.

2. It drove me crazy but I refrained from calling the police because they don't often have loud parties, but at about 5 am I had had enough. Just as I was getting ready to get mad, my DH saw a fight in their driveway next door.

3. One guy pulled out what appeared to be a gun and smacked a girl upside the head with it. Then another guy came and pounded the other guy into the ground.

4. DH called 911 and watched as the guy lying on the sidewalk tried to get up and fell back again, smacking his head into a bumper and splitting it open.

5. The cops came and have been here for 2 hours now. Taking statements, evidence photos, and searching the house next door for more weapons, etc.

6. 7 cop cars in total and hauling 4 people away.

7. I am so frustrated with the crappy house next door to us. The house is falling apart and the landlord is slummy. Everyone else in the neighbourhood is great. DH and I have decided we can only stay here 2 more years maximum. It is not fair to our kids to see the cops coming over - I feel it is not safe, domestic disputes or not.

8. I just hope that the cops are able to sort things out. And I am going to give icy cold stares to the neighbours from now on.

9. Oh, yeah....Did I mention today is my 9th wedding anniversary?

1. Day #7 of school and my baby is sick as a dog.

2. She woke up last night screaming and terrified from a dream. I put her on the couch and got her calmed down and back to sleep and she kept waking up in tears, not very restful sleep at all. This went on til 2am when I finally took her to her bed.

3. 3am I'm still wide awake but finally fell asleep at some point.

4. Next thing I know Kota's in my bed howling in pain and holding her right ear. I got up and gave her some children's tylenol and she went out to the living room to get a bottle of water.

5. I was really confused because the light was on. I thought it was later in the morning, like 6-630....it was 4:07am and Darren was just getting ready to walk out the front door.

6. She laid in my bed for a while watching tv then finally went to sleep. I let her sleep til we had to take Caleb to school, got her up and in the car. Ran up and grabbed her homework just in case she felt like doing it at some point today.

7. Brought her back home, got her on the couch, and she was back to sleep in no time. Poor baby is in pain and running a fever. She wanted to know if I could ask the dr not to stick the thingie in her ear this time cuz she thinks she may kick him if he hurts her. I've got to remember to tell him to step back, lol.

8. Her appt is for 10:45. Gives her a chance to sleep some more and me a chance to hop in the shower.

9. I thought once we got the allergies under control the ear aches would stop. She's been doing so good for the past 3-4 months without them.

10. Happy 9th Anniversary Serenity! Sorry that it started out the way it did though!

9.1 Do ear tubes help at this age? The single best thing I ever did for my son was get him ear tubes. That was when he was ten months old and I swear he has never been sick since!!! (Prior to that he had ear infections all the time--well, actually just one long one--from age 6 months til 10 months.)

9.3 Nope, no new teeth. I thought I was the luckiest mother (remember I have hearing loss in both ears from constant ear infections as a child) that my kids never really had them much. For the first 8 years we dealt with 3 ear infections and that was it. Then this past year, her allergies have taken a turn for the worst and all the draining has caused one infection after another. Julie, I understand that! For 2-3 months she had one long ear infection, soon as she'd finish antibiotics we were back at the doctors office with another one. I thought we'd gotten over all that with the gazillion allergy meds, but since not, tubes are one of my questions for today.

1. I need ear tubes. I never got ear infections as a kid, but as an adult I get them all of the time. Go figure.
2. Spider bite has ceased and desisted. After a baking soda mask over the top of it, it no longer is red or itchy.
3. Still have this dadgum cold, and now DD has it.

1. Woo hoo, $15 and 35 minutes later, it's not an infection but could be or something like that.

2. Dr was very careful with her right ear, he looked for a long few minutes and then said, "Princess, what'd you stick in your ear????" She doesn't know. He said it looks like something got stuck and irritated her ear, way deep down, caused a sore thats now scabbed over and the pain is most likely from that.

3. Then he said what I'm getting pretty used to hearing, her throat is red and irritated, she has a lot of nasal/sinus congestions, and both ears looked irritated, though not infected...yet. So we're back to the take this take that take everything in the medicine cabinet for her and to watch her closely over the next week or so cuz he said he wouldn't be surprised if she's back in with throat/ear/sinus probs.

4. Tubes, not yet he says. He's hoping this'll clear up on its own and with her allergy meds yada yada yada. He doesn't like to do anything like that unless it's as a last resort and doesn't feel its that far yet. It's certainly the biggest option if the infections keep up.

5. Yeah Landi, glad to hear about your dad doing ok! I saw a lot of hip replacements in the retirement home, well not the actual surgery, but the after effects. Our people would be gone a few days and then come back home, their pt's would show up and most were walking around within just a short time. LOL, I remember one of my elderly women complaining. She thought she'd get to lie around in bed for a few days and have people serve her, she couldn't believe that the pt showed up the same day and had her out of bed walking around.

1. Landi, I'm glad your dad made it through the surgery, and that you're breathing easier now.

2. I know what it's like to have anxiety and little attacks of panic... I hate it, and have been getting them for a couple of days now.

3. I just hate what is going on in my life right now. I'm not going to try and sum it up here as it's too encompassing.

4. My kids are here swimming today. I should take some pics before they go. My grandaghter is such a little daredevil in the water and going off the diving board. She is almost 3.

5. I have to be at the library in an hour for my volunteer job, which I love.

1. Landi, I am so glad that your dad came through okay. Sage, feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

2. Today was Day 3 of the Great Return To Work Week. I got through it okay. We have to work 7-5:30 M-Th this week and that makes for a long day, but I'm hanging in.

3. It is an absolutely gorgeous evening outside. I am trying to psyche myself up into going running. I think I will head over to my trail in about 15 minutes.

4. One of the APs started a collage of "What We Did This Summer" pictures in the main office. I SO wanted to put up the picture of me getting my tattoo in South Beach, but my coworkers are so conservative! I decided to behave and put up Kings Dominion pictures instead.

5. Tomorrow we meet the new teachers at a Meet and Greet. They are coming in for orientations and training. We have about 15 new teachers this year. And one new AP.

6. I'm out of things to say. Guess I will go running now.

1. I think I'm catching an "end of the summer" cold and it sucks!!! I hate being sick!

2. Landi, I'm glad your dad came though okay. Sending you good thoughts for a fast and comfortable recovery.

3. Hermi, I adore you whether you jog or not!!

4. I am still dating my eHarmony match Eddy. It's 4 months now and progressing very nicely.

5. We've had our bumps but have worked them out and are both very happy. So much so that we're considering taking a more serious step.

6. My son Nicholas starts 3rd grade tomorrow. He's very excited about seeing all his friends again but not so happy about doing homework again.

7. This summer flew by this year! I wish I could stop time and enjoy the moment for a day or two.

7.1 Congratulations Silly on the Tom Petty tickets ... score!!!!

7.2 Oh and Silly, love the picture of your daughter on her first day of 3rd grade ... so cute!!!!!

1. Hello to all the factoiders out in web world! Just a little update on my horrid neighbour situation:

2. All the surrounding neighbours to the rental slum got together and figured out an action plan.

3. We contacted the police to see what we could do and got the number for a new provincially funded program called S.C.A.N:

4. Saving
5. Communities
6. And
7. Neighbourhoods

8. The program is designed to crack down on drug houses (pun intended), eliminate prostitution rings, and keep slum landlords accountable. If they find excessive drinking, drugs, disrepair, and stuff (I think guns count!) at the house they have the ability to investigate. We have enough neighbours calling in to complain that at least the landlord will receive notice. If the cops keep getting called to his property they can start flipping the bill to him. If needed, this SCAN program has the ability and authority to seize the house for 90 days at a time - blocking any illegal activities from taking place and not allowing the landlord to profit any income. I guess they have some cases where the houses have been in such dilapidated states that they have bulldozed them and auctioned off the property. This would be my ultimate dream. While the neighbours are banding together to clean up the street, and I think it is really great, DH and I still plan on moving. We have 1 year and 5 months left on this mortgage term. It would cost too much to get out before then.

1. Oh shucks, I forgot to come back here and tell you all that I did not get to go to the stinking concert...and now I see my news made the update twice. Oui

2. There was a catch to the tickets and I didn't want to deal with the "catch" so i chose not to go.

3. Not a huge deal because I have actually seen Tom Petty twice before already, although I was a little bummed because TP was one of the best concerts I have been too and who knows if/when I will get the chance again

4. I have had a lot of things going on this week in RL and some of it is starting to freak me out so if I happen to not post for a bit it is most likely because I am overwhelmed and just need to silence myself on the net.

5. I am also coming down with an end of summer cold, or all the stress is starting to catch up to me physically.

6. Either way I am so drained today that I can barely walk and I am in a complete haze.

7. My first "love" contacted me 3 days ago (I have moved 9 times since he and I last spoke and none of my numbers have been listed, I have no idea how this guy was able to find me) at first it was kind of nice to talk to him again, but since that first call he has called another 8 times (according to my caller id) and now it is just weird.

8. Tonight is Back to School night at my DD's school. They expect us not to bring our kids-yah, thats realistic

9. Sorry, I just realized all of my facts were complete downers....how about a cute smiley to brighten it up a bit
