1. Hermie, Alpengeist is probably my favorite rolllercoaster! I still remember the smile on my face when I got off of it. Hope you enjoy it!

2. I hope Lola is okay. I can't hold Jake for that exact reason, he's squirms and jumps.

3. Yesterday was parent/teacher conference. Rock's art teacher said that my son could seriously have a career in graphic design. I was dumbfounded when she said that. She asked if he had ever taken art lessons before. She said she loves that he thinks outside the box. Needless to say, I was very proud.

4. I'm looking forward to getting my janey robe this week. I treated myself to a silver sage one.

5. I am not doing housework today. I should, but I'm not. Nope, no way.

01. The memorial service was ... interesting.

02. All of her friends, her family, the members of the church were recognized.

03. Everyone, in fact, except the two people who raised her from April 30, 2001 through October 1, 2002.

04. a. I learned that the deacon of the church took her to her first Teens Encounter Christ meeting--funny, I thought I was the one who took her there while she told me that she didn't need/want to go. And I told her to give it a chance, and she loved it.

04. b. I learned that other people helped her pass her classes and proficiency exams so she could graduate, even though DH and I paid for two summers of summer school and spent hours coaching her on her reading comprehension and math.

04. c. DH and I thought we sent her to the convention where she met her future husband, despite her family protests of sending "that dumb, manipulative brat" where there are boys when she isn't on birth control. Turns out her loving grandmother and father actually allowed her to spread her wings and blossom.

05. In short, we who took her in when her family was ready to toss her out weren't acknowledged as playing a role in her life at all.

06. I'm going back to bed to try to heal the hole this service ripped off and shoved the twisted blade into. Could someone send me the link to the Janey robes? I think I might want to get one.

1. Today while I was out and about, I saw a wedding party as they we're coming out a the church. People were blowing tiny bubbles and it looked so festive!

2. Of course, this made me think of Froggiegirl. I can't believe here big day is here and as I'm typing this, I imagine she's having the time of her life at her reception!! Congratulations S & C!!

3. I went to meet Momma Mia. She's the rescue Doxie/Chi mix that is ready for adoption.

4. Poor thing isn't supposed to be near her puppies otherwise she'll start lactating and go into calcium deficiency once again.

5. Unfortunately the communication got haywired and the family who is fostering the puppies, brought them for viewing and when Momma Mia heard their cries, she immediately knew they were her puppies and she went ballistic.

6. Ballistic as in yelping and barking and getting all stressed out because she wanted her puppies. So the foster mom had to take her home.

7. I was glad that I was able to see her and pet her while I could. She's much taller and bigger than a doxie or a chi and I've decided not to try to adopt her afterall.

1. Coco, do you have really low doggie doors? Or is she too ballistic? I'm sure you can find Oscar a great friend anyway.
2. Glad Kota is ok.
3. Poor Lola!!
4. YAY, Froggiegirl!!
5. LK that sucks, but you and DH know the truth and so do the people you've helped.
6. Janie robe thread is JanieRobeThread. Click on website link above the thread and ask to be on their mailing list for new discount code later this month.
7. I did a little road trip today and got some errands done!
7.1 Post Office to mail a book to a bookcrosser in Wyoming.
7.2 The only Tower Records in the county to exchange a CD I got in Nashville that was some sort of super CD and won't play on any drive I have. They allowed me to exchange it..
7.3 Lured across the street to a little hole in the wall charbroiled chicken place.. yummy!
7.4 My first time in a bookstore in months. Hog Wild!
8.0 And I'm home and it is dark so early and next week it will be even darker, earlier. ACK!

1. I have been thinking about Froggiegirl all day, I can't wait to here about her wedding, I know it was going to be beautiful.

2. I remember her saying they were honeymooning in Mexico, but I can't remember exactly where. Hopefully, not in hurricane territory.

3. War, I hope Dakota is doing better today. How scary!

4. (((Lola and Jbean)))

5. Jake was sick last week. Wednesday at about 1:00 in the afternoon he started vomiting and it lasted all afternoon. Thursday he was just fine although tired and worn out, he stayed home from school, but wanted to go to soccer practice that night. He made it for a little while, but his envergy was zapped and he sat down the rest of the time.

6. Today was soccer game #3, our team is improving, but I don't think they have scored a goal yet. One of our guys did score one...but it was for the other team. Jake played goalie for a while today and seemed to really enjoy that. He did well too, no one ever scored on him.

7. It is cute watching 4 and 5 year olds play. Some our good, some are like Jake. They just like to run and could care less about the ball, I kept yelling at him to pay attention to the ball, not the people.

8. Jake has his first school conference on Tuesday, I'm nervous about it for some reason. I'm curious to hear an outsiders take on Jake.

9. I'm starting to not like his teacher very much. I have heard her talk rudely to the kids and I have noticed that Jake has started to speak different (in not a nice way) to me and I am wondering if it is because that is the way his teacher talks. Not sure what I can do about it, but I am definitely going to watch it.

9.1 I LOVE the boo'd thing. I wish I lived in a more friendly neighborhood. I would love to do that. I'm going to try to think of someone I can do it too.

9.2 It seems like I have a million things to say and comment on, but I'm afraid the schticklers will come after me if I go any further. So, if I didn't mention you...((((Hug))) and Hi! Blame it on my schtickler fear.

1. We have yet to make it to boo the neighbors or my sis. Kids were sick last night and I didn't want to take them out, tonight the neighbors are in the middle of a party and frankly, I was too exhausted to drive out to sis'. Told the parents of both that we'd be there tomorrow night to do it.

2. Mom knows who did it but won't tell, lol. Whoever it was hid in our neighbors bushes to watch our reaction though. Neighbor guy said he saw their light go on and went to investigate, was ready to go get them when he recognized them and realized they'd done something to our house, lol.

3. That's why we told them we're doing their house. Once their security light goes off, the hubby goes to investigate, I'd rather tell him and his wife ahead of time that we're doing it than have him come out and catch us!

4. Dakota is feeling much better. She's still quite wheezy, that tight chested breathing sound, but compared to last night, it is so much better!

5. The neighbors have been awesome. Not only in keeping Caleb overnight, but they had him come back over this morning so Dakota could rest. Then when their party started, they came and got both kids and sent me and Darren to bed for a nap, lol. The wife reminded us that their son has asthma and they know exactly what to do. That was a huge help, cuz at that point I could barely keep my eyes open!

6. When Darren went to bed tonight, I had to run to the pharmacy and pick up her prednisone. They kept the kids then too.

7. The neighbor hubby and I butt heads often. He has very definite views of a womans place in home and in society and I don't quite agree, but times like this remind me that he really is a decent person despite that. LOL, I still won't let him get away with telling the girls (including mine!) that when they grow up and get married they can look forward to sitting at home watching soap opera's while their hubbys work to support the family.

8. I hope Froggie's day was perfect!

9. Jewels, don't you just love watching the little ones in sports! I always loved watching the 4/5 year olds in tball. They didn't care which way they ran to base, they'd sit out in outfield picking grass rather than watching the game, or seeing 12 kids leave their positions and run for the ball. I love that when sports are for nothing but fun.

10. {{{LK}}} You guys know the truth and so did your foster daughter. You helped her to grow into the woman, wife, and mother she became and rather her family recognizes that or not, you two have a reason to be proud of her and the help and love ya'll gave her.

1. War, I am so glad Kota is okay! How you manage to deal with the stress is beyond me. Btw, I loved reading about the Boo-ing tradition. Never heard of it! Such a wonderfully warm, neighborly practice.

2. Good Heavens, LK! As everyone has reassured you, the truth remains even if not acknowledged. And what really matters in the end is that you made a huge, positive difference in her life. So I hope you can take solace in that.

1. Right now it is 4:25 am and DS3 just vomited in bed. So, I get to spend another night awake.

2. I am beginning to dislike doing laundry in the middle of the night.

3. I really hope that no one else is having to suffer the same ills that seem to be haunting us at the moment. Hopefully this flu-like thing is done making its rounds

1. Awww, Serenity. Poor little boo boo and poor Mom. I remember those days. No fun. (Sorry if I missed that it has hit others in your family, hon. How long has it taken for it to get out of your lovies' systems?)

2. I think I must have had a touch of it last week--was feeling yukky for about 3 days, but never 'got sick'. (Couldn't take the smell of coffee or food cooking and couldn't eat for a day and a half.)

3. I turned on the heat this morning. First time this year. Weatherbug tells me it is 47F out--and expected to go up to 62 today, but it is has been damp (rain, rain, rain again) and early morning chilly the past couple days.

1. I'm wide awake too early in the morning again.

2. Now I have to decide whether to go back to bed for 2 hours or stay up.

3. I love the whole concept of booing!

4. Busch Gardens today!

1. I rearranged my bedroom yesterday with the boys help.

2. Then had to get help from my dad to move the bed.

3. My bedroom is one big dust ball right now.

4. And too many clothes to wash.

5. It's a beautiful fall day today with blue skies and sunshine.

1. Think we'll use the idea and make someone Boo'd! How Cool!

2. Since I have an asthmatic daughter who went to the ER more than once, I understand that frightening feeling deep inside when your child cannot breathe. (((Kota))) Hope Wargod and ManofWar are getting a little more rest. Too bad they left peanutty M&Ms for Caleb when you got Boo'd. Maybe you can replace them and give the peanut ones to someone else!

3. Happy Honeymoon Froggiegirl!

4. Lkunkel, check with the others about the size of the Janie robes. Seems the number sizes are not what they seem!

5. My dh and ds arrived home on Thursday and brought my dil and grandbabies with them! WooooHoooo!

6. Edited to add, Hi Mocha!

1. I've been meeting some very interesting people who come into Cool Beans for coffee.

2. Today I have to go shopping to restock.

3. I'm going to decorate the store with pumpkins and scarecrows.

4. Yesterday, I helped my dil, her mom, and her grandmother with party decorations and setting up for a shower, then I went home to change. My dil's brother and wife are expecting a little boy in about a month. It was a very nice party and the food was good too. The mom to be got a lot of gifts and only one duplicate.

5. My dh watched the grandchildren during the party, but when it was over I rushed home and hurried them into the car for a ride.

6. I took them out to the airport and parked at the end of the runway to watch the air show. It was so much fun. Grandson recognized the B-52 and pointed it out to me.

7. We watched a man fly standing on top of a bi-plane doing many stunts flying upside down and loops, but at the end of his show he flew right towards us and when the kids waved to him he waved back. That made our day!

1. Sounds like "Cool Beans" is really cool!

2. I have had a low grade fever almost a week. Not quite as stuffed up today, so I hope I'm getting better.

3. I have a meeting at 1 and then I'm going to do some work I didn't get done yesterday. And groceries.

4. I am skipping church today, as I wouldn't be able to take a bath and make it there on time.

5. I refuse to have Lutheran guilt over it. I'm NOT playing, and I had the "hour of power" on during my morning nap.

6. Ah, hell, I've got Lutheran guilt.

7. I had a jammie day yesterday, but I got lots of paper writing and grading done from the sofa.

8. I think my department chair was surprised to get an email from me on Saturday afternoon with a grant application he needs to endorse. I was even more surprised to get an email back within 10 minutes letting me know that the letter would be ready for pick up on Monday.

Stay healthy and happy everyone!

1. last night i found out that i'm going to be an aunt again!

2. my neice is 6, and i don't think they were planning on another. i think this pregnancy is a "surprise". lol.

3. i'm excited. better my sister, than me. i can spoil her kids and send them home. i love it!

4. my mom is the one who told me, so i'll have to act suprised when i talk to my sister. lol

5. i watched titanic last night on dvd. usually it makes me cry a lot. i cried, but not uncontrollably, like usual. i really have to be in a mood to watch it. since it's over 3 hours long, i really have to have some time on my hands, too!

6. i slept til a little after 9 this morning. i would have slept later if lola wouldn't have been ready to "wake up".

7. we had to get up early yesterday to be at the vet by 8am, so i was tired. she wasn't because she slept the whold time while i was watching titanic last night.

8. i'm thinking about going to a movie today. not sure what. i saw elizabethtown last week, and in her shoes the week before. i guess i ought to check listings.

9. cat and dog are playing right now. the dog obviously isn't up to it. she goes running through here like a crazy dog. she scares me to death!

1. Yay! Congratulations Auntie Jbean! Isn't it exciting?

2. Yesterday the charms I ordered came in the mail.

3. They're baby related stuff for a charm bracelet I'm making for my little adopted sis.

4. Gracie, with Caleb's peanut allergy we rarely keep anything with peanut butter in the house (within the last year we've just started keeping a jar of it in hte house for Dakota.) Whenever we get anything with peanuts...it's mine, LOL! I am nice though and share with Darren.

5. Dakota is better today. She's barely wheezy, though still has that cough and is hoarse, not as bad as yesterday.

6. Caleb is also feeling better.

7. Me, I woke up stuffy and have the cough. Ack!

8. Today's cleaning day. Lots to do.

9. We're also decorating a little for Halloween.

10. I went to bed around 4 am this morning and laid there for a couple hours to watch tv. At 8am Darren left to get breakfast for the kids. Next thing I know, I have both kids standing in my bedroom fighting! Dakota insists that today is October 30 and Caleb was telling her it was the 23. When I told her it was the 23, she threw a temper tantrum and left.

10.5 Serenity I hope you ds feels better quickly! There's nothing worse than a puking kid, especially when they're doing it all over the house!

2. Her birthday is not until November 16, however we always celebrate it early as we have a bunch of "snowbirds" in our family.
