7.2 Ack, that's a lot! We were lucky to have the guys who know how to do plumbing around, but even with them it makes me think twice about what we stick down the disposal!

1. My nieces are back with me today (the two younger ones) and little nephew is here.

2. For about six months now, my middle niece (she turned 4 in Nov) has been telling me in great detail about her her school.

3. She tells me what she did and what they are learning, she tells me about her friends (who gets along with who, their favorite colors, toys, games,) and about the homework she has...occassionally she'll ask me to help her.

4. She tells me about the playground, what they had for snack and lunch and what she did or didn't like, who doesn't sleep during nap time and who got in trouble.

5. I've heard quite a bit about her teachers and that she likes Ms. Murray more than Ms. Day and that one of them (Ms. Murray) has a pet monkey, while the other, Ms. Day, was swimming in the ocean and got bit by a shark!

6. She really loves her school...there's just one teeny tiny problem...she's never gone to school! Her mommy teaches her at home right now, she knows her colors, shapes, half the alphabet and can count to 12. She doesn't even know people with the same names as her friends and teachers.

7. She's so funny and her stories are so involved. Even funnier is that she tells a lot of people about her school and after comparing notes her stories generally don't really change or get too wild. I love to listen to her stories.

8. They changed the cut off date for Kindergarten again so she will be able to start in July. I keep telling her she can't go because I won't get to spend any time with her and she keeps saying, "Oh Sandy! I have to go to school! I'll still come visit you!"

1. Yup yup yup, just got back from the annual birthday vacation;

2. We flew to Ft. Lauderdale, rented a convertible and spent five days cruising the Keys;

3. Marathon (Key Vaca) is a great launching post if you're in the mood to just noodle around the Keys. You can go north or south and hit either end within an hour or so;

4. Why in dahell is the African Queen in Key Largo? That was a complete non-sequiter;

5. First 3 nights we spent in Marathon at a Gulf-side resort with a private island just offshore. If I owned a private island, I wouldn't want it close enough so someone like me could stare at close range;

6. We spent several days in Key West, the first on an exploratory mission and then the second day we went with a list of "must do's before leaving;"

7. We also checked into Ocean Keys resort and spa, one of the top 500 hotels in the world. Colossus made sure that we had a premier room with optimum view. It faced out into the gulf over Mallory Square - we walked into the room and it was this explosion of color - two walls of turquoise-blue water, sailboats seeming to sail right through your room, caribbean colors on the furniture, light marble and sheers covering the floors and walls, ginormous marble jacuzzi in the corner of the room. Man it was unbelievably gorgeous;

8. You just KNOW I thanked him properly, especially after a couples massage and a pricey formal dinner in their hoity restaurant;

9. I have to say this was one of my favorite vacations ever. I truly recommend to anyone who hasn't visited the Keys that they consider doing the same thing we did - just noodling around the Keys with few particular plans in mind, just explore and enjoy. Many areas are somewhat poor, but the overall feeling is 50's-fabulous and Flamingo Kid. Key West is starting to feel a bit too much like the French Quarter of New Orleans (weirdness and weirdos) for my taste, but it has wonderful sights and sounds to experience nonetheless.

1. Glad GAL had a good birthday trip (Remembering the Disney disasters in the past.)

2. I DO have the plague or bronchitis or some dang painful coughing and sneezing.

3. So do my students, one went to health services and the doctor said that the whole Law School and School of Music should be quarantined.

4. I'm teaching my night class right now. Sitting in the corner not breathing on my students. THEY are teaching today, so it is a good day to be sick.

5. Right now they are changing guitar strings. We already learned how to play a bunch of chords on the guitar.

6. I need to go home and sleep some more.

7. Airborne is my new best friend.

8. It is 72 degrees right now. It will dip down to the 30s in about an hour. We are supposed to have tornadoes tonight.

9. I voted. Whoopee!

10. There is awesome piano music going on on the stage across the hall.

.5 I'm not sure if it's still around here anywhere. That was a few years back.

1. We're doing ok. Dakota finally started to feel better and tonight was the first time in about 2 and a half weeks she wasn't having to take something for the nasal congestion or breathing probs.

2. Just in time for Caleb to get sick. He came into our room just before Darren got out of bed and said his throat was really hurting badly. I started to get out of bed to get him some medicine when I stopped and listened to him, all the way across the room I could hear he was wheezing and chest congested. I ended up keeping him home from school, I'd rather he miss a day and have a long weekend to feel better than make him go to school and get even sicker.

3. Darren's been working 12 hour days, made for a couple of very nice pay checks (and more to come) but he's so exhausted. He's also fighting the cold or flu or whatever it is. He's taking "me time" tomorrow, going fishing with his mom and step dad and then maybe to play golf with his buddies if they can all get away for a couple hours.

4. I've just been flat out busy. My nephews spent more time with me this week than usual and with sis and bil getting ready to move at the end of the month I've been watching my nieces quite a bit more so they can get work done at my aunts and pack up their house. Tee hee, Darren's been bringing them home boxes from work, today we dropped off a bunch and sis sat there staring at the pile and said she could pack everything that's left individually in their own boxes, lol. He asked if he brought too many!

4.5 While Darren's out having "Me Time," I will be cleaning my aunts house and then bringing the girls home with me so sis and bil can get more work done. Then tomorrow night we're dropping all the kids off with sis and we're going out to celebrate Valentine's day. It's been a while since we've had date night!

1. Darren and I postponed date night cuz we couldn't figure out what to do tonight. We'll be going out next weekend.

2. Sis and bil decided to stay and finish the work they were doing at aunt's house, they're planning on an all nighter.

3. Their girls are staying with me. This will be the first time the baby spends the night.

4. Which leads me to a little problem. Because this wasn't really planned all I have here for the baby is her carseat and swing. No portable playpen. I'd rather not take her to bed with me, so she'll be sleeping in her swing and I'll be on the couch. I'm not planning on getting much sleep tonight, lol. Now the problem is Caleb's out cold on the couch in the den and Dakota and oldest niece are sleeping on the couch in the living room. I'm gonna have to get the girls into bed at some point.

5. The girls were playing in Kota's room earlier and there was an accident. They came out, oldest niece sobbing, middle niece sobbing, and Dakota looking confused. Middle niece was playing with Kota's stapler and put a staple into the fatty part of her finger. Eww eww eww! I held her and made her look away as Darren got the tweezers and pulled it out, then we washed it and used neosporin and put a bandaid on. When I got her calmed down we called her mommy. I told sis we had a little accident and then niece started to howl! I gave niece the phone and the longer sis talked the harder she cried. I talked it over with sis and gave her some tylenol cuz omg, that's just got to hurt!

5.5 I was always a clumsy kid and constantly getting hurt and while middle niece isn't as clumsy she's one of those who always has accidents that makes everyone else go ewww and shiver. She once fell down stairs and put her teeth through her tongue. She was fine, but she walked around for weeks sticking her tongue out for anyone who even looked at her.

1) had me a relapse of the dang flu. stayed in bed for most of Sat. Sucks cause I had alot I wanted to do.
2) I call DD #1 about 10 Sat. morn. & she tells me she is sick. She's got the stomach crap.
3) DD #1 tells me she's about to get GS#1 up to get ready for work & also GS#2 (15 yr old) will get up & watch the 3 yr old sister.
4) good luck is all I said to her - GS#2's Lab. has 6 new puppies & GD (age 3) is mesmerized.
5) GS#2 is tired because he played "vet" to Savannah (his Lab. momma dog) early in the wk & never left her side except for school the whole wk. (Tanner - GS#2 - has the best Lab. & it's the mother of my great dog that Tanner decided 4 yrs ago that only I deserved).
6) I think my new Boss appreciates me! Hello - I am the person that knows everyting around the office!

1. Deb, this crap is hanging on forever isn't it? Caleb's been sick since last week and sounds just terrible (chest congestion, wheezy, stuffy.)

2. Took Dakota to her softball team meeting today. Practice four times a week, hour and a half a day. Coach and manager seem really good, more interested in teaching the girls the right way to play than focusing on winning. We do have to sell $50 worth of raffle tickets, I hate that part.

3. Her bff isn't on her team, cuz bff was moved up to majors this year. Dakota was a little disappointed but she was getting chatty with the other girls. When we got home I asked her if she thought she was gonna like her new team, before she could answer, Caleb said, "I'd really like being on a team full of girls!" I wasn't sure if I should laugh or be outraged, lol.

4. There will be some scheduling conflicts with her practice and Caleb's after school activities and my aunt. And I'm not all that comfy leaving her at the ball park (even though bff's parents, who I trust, will be there at the same time for their son) by herself. Unfortunately, we may not have much choice on days Darren can't get off work on time.

5. I had my nephew all day today. Dakota's bff stayed til 5. And my nieces (3 of them) came over for the third day in a row. I didn't even attempt to clean. They spent most the day outside, including both babies, and had a blast. If it had been just the older kids, I'd have gone about my day, but with the two little ones out there, I spent a good part of the day out there with them and the rest sitting at the table inside watching them.

6. My two littlest nieces will be here tomorrow again along with nephew. Sis and bil still have quite a bit of work to do at aunts.

7. Darren's boss is taking some of them out to dinner Friday, I guess I should find out if it's one of the spouses invited dinners or not and if I should find a sitter for the kidlets.

1. My name is Mud.
2. Hubby wanted to buy a Wii back in December when they were all over the place here while I remember others at TVCH not being able to find them.
3. I said no what do we need another video game system for.
4. We got a huge tax refund back and he mentioned it again so I said yes.
5. Now we can't find any.
6. Toys R Us has been yanking our chain, telling us they will be in "tomorrow" but when we get there right when the store opens - meaning the first customer - they just sold the last one.
7. Hubby thinks the employees are buying them before the store opens or keeping them for family/friends.
8. I've been calling 4 different Game Stops in the area ever day at 4 different times - each has a different delivery time for shipments.
9. Hubby told me not to bother, it's a sign we shouldn't get one but I know he really wants one. Is the Wii really worth the hassle?

9.1 Serate, I think it's worth it. We all love the Wii and play it often plus when the nieces/nephews or the kids friends are here it's played a lot!
