1. I sorely miss our old house. It was our dream home. Huge old Queen Anne Victorian. We are now living in one of our rental properties and it needs a whole lot of work. We lost the rest of our rentals when we lost our home due to loss of job. Life just sucks sometimes and you have to take it. 2. At least we have a whole lot fewer bills now. 3. I have had so much trouble sleeping lately. I think its a combination of the heat and worry about hubby. 4. He's been so stressed out and also not taking care of himself physically. I can only push him so far to eat right and get exercise. He's going to do it or not. 5. Diabetes sucks. He's such a lover of great breads and desserts. At least I can bug him every night to take his pills and he does. 6. My first job was as a waitress at a steakhouse. I was 16. 7. I just finished watching "Paul McCartney In Red Square" on A&E. Its a history lesson all in itself besides a great musical experience. When I was here loving the Beatles and mooning over them in the 60s the people in the USSR could be arrested for buying a Beatles record if they could even find one on the black market. 8. I got so choked up seeing the tears in some of their eyes, it meant so much to them. Truly moving. And of course the music kicked A$$!

1. No babies born on birthdays or anniversaries here, though it's been close! 2. Dakota was born 5 days before my sisters wedding. 3. My aunts birthday is May 10. My bil's May 12 and Caleb's May 28. 4. My oldest neices birthday is June 17, Darren's June 19. My middle nephew June 22 and mine is June 25. 5. To top it off as of today, a family friend (a guy who at one time lived with my family for a year) has a brand spanking new baby boy. Caleb thinks it's cool cuz he says there aren't enough boys in the family. 6. Made it through my first day with no car pretty well. We were up at quarter til 6 to take neighbor guy to work. Then came home and I did some housework early before getting the kids off to school. Mom went with me to the kids awards ceremony and we took Caleb home with us because he wasn't feeling so well. He seems to have caught a cold or maybe its killer allergies on top of the headaches. Poor kid is sooooo stuffed up! 7. Tomorrow should be good without a car too. We will again get up at quarter til six so the neighbor lady can keep their car. Then get the kids to school. Caleb has his picnic tomorrow at 10:45. Luckily the neighbors daughter is having an awards ceremony at 10am, so I have to go with her because she can't drive alone, but she'll hang out for awhile for the picnic, so we can be there for both. 8. Next big challenge for the car is Thursday. Dakota has her waterday/picnic, but again luckily, the neighbors daughter has gold rush days and needs me to go with her, and both events are at the same time. We might actually make it through this week! 9. Saturday will also be busy and I still haven't figured out quite how to do everything. Darren's going golfing (something that has been planned for awhile and is a company function) and leaving me and the kids to work it all out. I think what we will do is go to the baptism, then to my neices party early and hang out as long as we can, then off to Caleb's closing ceremonies. Thankfully Dakota's closing ceremonies was moved to Friday night which freed up Saturday morning. 9.5 Silly, any word from the doctor about your daughter? I'm still waiting on the referral! Doctor's office said they're having a prob getting the insurance to ok it since it's only been 9 months since his last eye exam. Doctor is very unhappy!

1. I love seeing Vee on the facts thread! 2. My son's birthday is 2 days after mine. 3. Everyone in my immediate family was born on either the 6th of the month or the 18th. 4. Except my son who was born on the 8th. 5. So when it came time to pick a birthday for our dog, we chose the 8th. 6. I'm starting a new relationship with a great guy ... Eddy. 7. This is my first real relationship since my son's father, 8 years ago. That's a long time! 8. I talk on the phone with him almost every night which is why I am up late right now. 9. And we email during the day. It's all kind of crazy ... but it's new and exciting. 10. We met on an on-line dating service. Imagine that!

1. I can't believe that I'm awake right now! All packed and under the weight limit...well, I have to put in the "last minute" stuff (such as computer). I leave in two hours. Maybe I have time to submit an abstract for a conference and pay bills before I go! Auf Wiedersehen......I get the afternoon in Toronto and then Munich here I come!

3.955 War, that's called a sick visit, and they can happen at any point, regardless of regular, routine exams. The referral should then go forward virtually instantaneously if the child's PCP recommends it. 3.956 The doc's office has a special provider number to call for referrals. Typically, they just leave the info by phone. Whomever of the doc's staff members made that first call to the insurance company evidently didn't leave full info--that it was a sick visit. At this point, if there is still a hurdle, the doc's office needs to get on the phone and ask to speak with a supervisor. 3.957 An alternative is for YOU to call the rep at your husband's place of employment and get him/her to light a fire under them. That's his/her responsibility, and insurance companies DO respond to these calls quickly.

1. Well DD dr. said that for now we need to keep a journal of her daily activities/food and try to figure out what is triggering all of this since we know it has nothing to do with her vision. 2. We have a follow up appointment in 3 weeks-the good thing is that if we do need to see a specialist our insurance does not require a referral first-phew 3. No one in my family share the same birthdays, but most of my friends do 4. My two closest friends are on May 29th, one is on the 28th and I am one month later June 29th-We always celebrate together

1. Mom and I are back home. 2. I'm happy to report the trip went smoothly and nobody got hurt. I love her but she drives me nuts sometimes. 3. Yay, Vacanick! How exciting! 4. Have a great trip, Marm- 5. Congrats War (and Caleb!), on the spanking new baby boy in your family. 5.a. I think Gracie could add drive-thru haircuts to her new business.

1. Congratulations, Cinnamongirl! 2. We just got home from the park...it's was nice to get out after having so much rain lately. 3. We had a good trip last weekend to my parents for my nephews graduation. 4. I still can't believe it was time for him to graduate already. I think it will take a while for that to set in. 5. My dh and I went to the casino last weekend. Our rule is that we each get $10 to put in a machine, $5 at a time. When (or if) we double it we cash out and start again with the other $5. When that is gone we leave. 6. Usually, we go straight to 0, almost immediately. This time we doubled our money immediately and came out ahead each time! Woo Hoo! 7. We are such hot gamblers!

Tomorrow is my school's graduation and the last official responsibility of mine as Senior Class Sponsor. YAY! 4. I need to paint my toenails. 5. Or maybe I will go across the street and treat myself to a pedicure. 6. Nah, I think I will do it myself. 7. Yay for Vacanick's new love interest! 8. I could use a new love interest myself. Or not.

1. we had strong storms here off an on yesterday morning through late night! 2. i guess it stormed pretty bad early monday a.m. and i slept through it all! amazing! reported winds up to 80mph! 3. on my way to work there was a semi truck that had been turned over by the strong wind, laying sideways in the median. holy crap! it was still there this morning, but gone this afternoon. 4. we got to work yesterday and then ended up leaving because we had no work today. now we have to make it up, by working 10 hour days the rest of the week. (blech, but it was nice to have the day off...too bad i couldn't have slept in!) 5. then last night...ack....tornado warnings all night! they never spotted one, but "conditions were favorable" for them to form. thank God they never did! 6. i am very scared of tornadoes. especially after may 3, 2003 when several tornadoes swept by very NEAR towns and destroyed both cities! the pierce city, MO can be seen on storm stories on the weather channel. scary. 7. my niece's birthday is thursday...she'll be 6! i can't believe how fast she's growing! 8. my sister is having a birthday party for her at a build-a-beart type workshop. should be fun. 9. my grandparents are also having a "celebration" for her and my cousin's birthday on saturday. i am sensing some conflict on that one between a couple of us...sigh. ought to be interesting to say the least.

1. It's funny that I see Jbean posting since I have Keith Urban playing on the stereo right now. 2. I am so glad that we don't have tornados. 3. Cinnamongirl, congratulations on that first big step. 4. My mom bought me a new bookcase today. It's exactly like the one I already have that has books falling out of it, it's so packed. 5. She bought it for my birthday which is in November but it was on sale today. That's my mom! 6. I am waiting for my husband to come home and put it together. 7. It's fun just listening to him as he does it! 8. Then it will be rearranging books time! 9. I really need to slow down on the book buying. 10. I have so many still to read and yet I buy more.

1. Congratulations Cinnamongirl! 2. Jbean, let me know how the party goes, I'm considering build-a-bear for Kota's birthday this September. 3. My nieces 6th birthday is Saturday. 4. We had a wonderful surprise today. My oldest friend, her hubby and young daughter are in town. She called this afternoon and we invited them over for a bbq. They moved out of state a couple years ago so it was nice to see them again. 5. Her hubby has to go back home on Thursday, but her and her daughter will be staying here with family until mid-July. I'm excited, it's catch up time! I can't believe how big thier little girl has gotten in 18 months.

Morning all: 1. Today is my baby Lisa's 4th Birthday. Time sure has gone quickly. 2. We finally received much needed rain last night - from results of thunderstorms, however no damage was done so that is goo. 3. The rain has also ended a heat wave that we have had for many many days here in SW Ontario. It is nice to be able to use the natural A/C this morning by opening our windows. 4. In-laws are coming tonight for supper for Lisa's birthday. Her God parents are coming on Friday night as they have soccer tonight. 5. Lisa wants Pizza for supper and I have a couple Delicio's in the freezer, so it will be an easy supper. I made a cake yesterday while she was gone, now I need to get dh to take Lisa for a bit today so I can get her gift out of the basement and wrapped. I was too tired last night to do this. 6. Have a wonderful day all.

I have something in common with David Letterman roflol!!) 3. They have this bell tower, with the special made in France bells, crinlons (lol sp?? please, not a slip, but a bell!!) 4. A Ball State Student made a movie, it was submited, viewed, and then nominated - and WON the OSCAR for best student movie!! 5. The Bassoon Teacher has 9 - 12 students in Music Educatation and Performance, no distinction, they have 75 professors that teach - their Music Theory Classes are only 21 students (its an old building!!) 6. One music history class, that does study music scores, is in a large room, but with large tables - they pull out the whole score and study it!! 7. They are getting a pipe organ... and the acostics in the building are amazing!! Top

1. Today is Darren's birthday. I posted the other day that my neices was Friday, her's is actually Sunday. Don't know what the heck I was thinking! 2. Yesterday I went to Kota's class picnic and water day. Also roamed between there and the fourth grade's gold rush day (my neighbor drove me, we got their early to join in her daughters festivities.) 3. The gold rush was pretty cute. The kids did a little play about miners hunting gold, sang a couple songs, and then were turned loose to go find gold nuggets. At the end, they got to go to the general store and shop. Neighbors girl made out like a bandit, lol. 4. Then I headed to Caleb's class to give him his ibuprofin. They weren't there. So I checked the playground, not there either. Ran over to Kota's class, they weren't there. Walked over to where the picnic was supposed to be....no class there either! 5. Caleb's first grade teacher was there. I asked if she knew where either of the classes were, she said probably with their reading buddy classes. Ok, maybe Kota's class is but I knew Caleb's wasn't since his reading buddy class is his first grade teachers class who I was talking to, lol. She laughed and said that was a nightmare. Schools supposed to be the safest place for your kids and come in and can't find either one of them! 6. I finally found Kota's class, got the key to her room, and grabbed the picnic and water stuff to set up. We set in the shade while the kids picniced then I took pictures of their water games. Dakota and her partner won the water balloon toss. I got fried! Fried so bad it hurt to put aloe spray on. And I had on spf 45 and was only in the sun about 15 minutes! 7. Finally found Caleb but by that point he was already hurting. Luckily Dakota's class was pretty much done and neighbor lady was ready to leave, so we came home early. 8. Finally got his referral and called to make an eye appointment. The soonest they can get him in is July 12! I begged and pleaded, explained the situation including the schools vision screening, the problems he's had, the headaches, missing school and baseball, she promised to put him on the call list in case someone cancels but says she can't do anything else. I have a call in to his doctor to see if he can help. Darren says we should just take him somewhere and pay for the exam, my problem with that is that his eye dr is a pediatric optometrist and knows Caleb's history and the family history and no one else does. 8.5 I bought my neice the coolest gift, or so I think, lol. She told me she wanted a bathing suit with a skirt. Mom called and told me she bought it, so I've been struggling to come up with a gift. I finally decided to buy a sand pail and shovel and fill it with fun in the sun stuff. Sunglasses, beach towel, outside toys (jump rope, jacks, frisbee, etc,) a little sundress, and matching necklace and bracelet. I gave her sandals last week. The best part is that other than the beach towel, everything I bought was $5 or under. She's got a pool, and the new bathing suit, so I'm hoping she likes this!
