1. Hermie, that's totally cool! You have great kids at your school!

2. Oy, sorry about the teen angst. If your nephews in the sensitive and impulsive stage, won't be long until he's in the moody and angry phase. It really does drive me nuts, but it's also really hard to watch them go through it.

3. LOL about the reclining chair! And even funnier about the dog! My aunt's dog hates her chair but he's also fiercely loyal to her. He won't go anywhere near the chair if she's not in it, but if she's sitting there he'll climb up in her lap...but, the whole time he's sitting there you can just see how unhappy he is about it, lol.

4. Woo hoo on doll fun! And babies coming to vist. That's always a lot of fun.

5. My house is just the opposite. Caleb doesn't really have many toys anymore (just the nerf guns) and while Dakota is growing out of a lot, my nieces spend far more time here than any of my nephews so I keep a box of girly stuff for them. Last time I had my younger nephew, he got all Dakota's barbie and polly pocket cars and played with those. He also found one of Caleb's nerf guns, brought it to Darren to put together, and then took one of Kota's polly pocket dolls and shoved her in where the nerf darts go. I have to admit, Darren and I sat her laughing our butts off at him shooting polly pocket across the room!

1. I would have rolled on the floor watching Polly fly too, that's really funny!

2. She did it again. Soon-to-be-ex DIL done ticked me off. The only good thing is it's going to cost her, big time. In exactly 15 minutes she will be in direct defiace of the court ordered visitation order, she's not bringing the kid(s). She says it is supposed to be only every 2 weeks. How on earth she thinks she can get away with 'misunderstanding' something written in black and white and signed by a judge is beyond me. I am seriously starting to think she WANTS to lose the kids. Little (not for TVCH word) has never wanted to take care of them so maybe she does. My son is mad, and a bit heartbroken.

3. Last week she was here about 30 minutes dropping off the kids and by the time she left I was spewing more flames than the Iceland volcano. There is a third child in this mess, between my gs and gd, who is not my son's child. I could fall in love with him in 5 seconds flat if I let myself, he is very sweet, just a brat because she never watches or disiplines him. I can't let myself though because of her regular game of snatching the kids away, it's one less heartache when she does. Anyway, the lawyer suggested that until the next hearing to take B too, and that itself ticked me off. I will do anything for the 2 who are mine, health will not let me add B too. I am doing to the extreme now. But I agreed. So Queen Elizabeth brings the kids... and informs my husband that 1. We will buy gd and B diapers (he's 4) and 2. we will buy 2 carseats. It really is good I didn't hear her say it. Because of her royalistic attitude of entitlement I would have in no uncertain terms told her- 1. We will buy GD diapers, a size too small ty, 2. we will buy 1 (ONE) carseat, and 3. you can take your middle child and get out of my yard.

4. She can only see my dgs, who is 6, from Sat. night till Sun. night, at her grandmothers. Last week she had to babysit and could not stay overnight. Okay, more points for us.

5. Her grandmother called my son and asked him to ask us if the following would be okay.-- She's going to Florida Monday. Could we let STBE have her visitation here during the month she will be away.

6. Camel, meet last straw. NO, NO, NO! I would be in prison before the end of the first day.

1. THREAD killer, THREAD killer, whatcha gonna do?

2. Sorry for the beeatching, wrong thread, maybe wrong site.

3. Tennessee got rain in 'historic porportions' this weekend.

4. Nashville is a real mess, so much flooding.

5. I saw a youtube video on the news of a house floating down I-24. Gives a whole new definition of the term 'mobile home'.

6. I am lucky to be just 20 miles east, the bulk of the gulleywashers missed us. All is well with me and mine. And my mobile home.

7. Not so for my town, the town square flooded and the tracks for the Music City Star, the commuter train that runs from here to Nashville, buckled.

1. You are not a thread killer! I think we have all had a thread killer complex at one time or another, lol. I'm sorry about all your family woes from soon-to-be-ex DIL.

2. Wargod, I laughed at Polly Pocket being shot from the nerf gun, too.

3. This weekend is the Relay for Life that I always go to. I'll head up straight from work on Friday.

4. It's terrible about the floods, and about the oil slick. :-(

5. There was a PTA festival at my niece's elementary school on Saturday and I helped my sister with the kids because she had to work it.

6. I swear I am a child at heart. I wanted to toss beanbags and kick soccer balls and throw balls at the dunk booth and trade in stamps for prizes right along with the kids!

7. I had to satisfy myself with just doing the cake walk, which I did not win, but my niece did and she was so proud of her cake that she must have shown it to every single person at the festival.

8. I did get to enjoy a sno-cone, though. You are never too old to enjoy a sno-cone. :-)

1. I saw something about the Tennessee rains this morning on the tv at the bank...didn't catch most of it though since they keep the volume off.

2. Don't ya just love those school festivals, Hermie? The kidlets elementary school did 1-2 a year and they were really fun. Good way to kill a couple hours, it was fairly cheap for a family night, and the school made money.

3. Last night was disaster night in the kitchen for me. I made this awesome spinach salad then promptly dropped the whole damn thing on the floor before anyone got any. Then while Darren and Kota were cleaning it up, I caught the oven mitt on fire...while it was on my hand.

4. No injuries, except to my awesome spinach salad. But, Darren did give me a gentle push out of the kitchen and told me he'd finish up dinner.

5. Caleb has his annual Kids on Stage production coming up. His guitar class gets to go to the performing arts center and play and we have to buy tickets. Miracle of miracles...Darren's mom and step dad asked us to pick up tickets for them. They've never been to a single school or sports event. I almost fell over when Darren invited them and they said yes.

6. It's a busy time for him. Besides that concert, he's also got one at school coming up and the play he's been practicing. And then we move on to graduation. Oh boy.

7. Took the kids to the dermatologist this morning. He was worried about Dakota's joint pain, but not overly so considering all of it could be from softball. Was very, very pleased at how well the accutane is working on her. We'll be keeping a close watch though because the joint pain could be a big problem if it's starting already.

8. He was not at all pleased with how Caleb's been doing and the fact that some acne is starting to come back. He offered today to put him back on accutane. We've left the decision up to Caleb though, since he knows about the side effects, and he's supposed to let us know in the next few weeks if he wants to go back on it. He's leaning towards it though since he's got a couple months off of school coming up and the knee pain won't interfere with track and cross country right now.

9. Dakota's sleep talking really picked up when Darren left, I figured it'd ease up some when he got home but it really hasn't. She spends half the night talking. Sometimes it's really funny, like the night she shouted out, "BALLS IN!" (softball thing) and sometimes it kind of freaks me out, like the night she started whispering. I never could figure out what she was talking about last night, but it went on for hours.

9.1 when I was Dakota's age I used to walk in my sleep. One night I actually made it outside and I wolk up in one of my neighbor's yards. Thank goodness it was the middle of summer because I had not shoes on my feet.

9.3 Ack Dfennessey, that's scary! Out of mine and sis' kids, Caleb's the only one without a real sleep issue. Oldest two nieces both walk though they don't ever go far, and like Kota, oldest niece talks in her sleep sometimes. Kota's had night terrors since she was little, luckily those are pretty infrequent now. She's always talked but it's never been as much as now. And all three nieces sleep with their eyes half open which is totally freaky.

9.4 That was the only time I ever walked outside and may I remind you that my parents had us kids trained to go in and out the back door (my mother did not want us to get dirt all over the rug.) and anyways I had to walk down about 12 stairs. Usually my mother was able to get me back in bed but this one night I must of done it after she went to bed. She must of heard me at some point because when I came back in the house her and my father were coming down the hall from their bedroom.

9.5 You're poor parents must have been freaking. Sis and bil installed those slide locks at the top of the doors once they figured out oldest niece was a walker and I know at times it's scared them to hear her at the door trying to get out. Luckily she hasn't yet.

1. I don't really have 10 facts tonight, but I got one and I'm so excited about it I can drag it out, lol.

2. Dakota

3. hit

4. her

5. first

6. homerun

7. tonight.

8. It was frickin' awesome, nerve wracking, and hysterical all at the same time. They were up against our leagues other minor league team (first game between them this season,) and most the girls were a bit nervous cuz their pitcher is fast. Dakota prefers the hard and fast pitchers and she took advantage of it with the most beautiful hit ever...the ball just sailed up and up then out and out. Awesome.

9. Everytime her coach sent her to the next base I was cringing cuz she's just not that fast. But, her great hit and the other team fumbling the ball once helped her out a great deal. When she finally got to third and coach waved her on, she took one look to see the catcher standing in front of home without the ball, put her head down and ran hard. She ran right into the catcher about half a second before anyone threw the ball her way.

10. And then she took two steps and fell to her knees with her arms in the air and the biggest grin ever. We argued (parents in the stand,) some saying she was just happy to make it in and that was her celebration and others saying she tripped. Me and Darren were on opposite sides of that one, lol, I said she was celebrating. She later admitted she had tripped and fell, lol.

10.5 Funniest thing though was that since this was our own leagues team we were playing, the girls have been playing on the same teams for years. So there was lots of congrats and clapping from both sets of bleachers and the catcher who just a minute before had been brave enough to stand in Kota's way (and also a girl who had been on her last three teams) was the first one over to help her up and congratulate her, even before Kota's own team could.

1. Thanks Hermie, I'll make sure she sees that, she's so proud of herself.

2. Her bff's brother was a total snot this morning (he's been awful to Kota lately) and told her, "well, you didn't hit it out of the park!" Dakota just smiled sweetly at him and asked, "How many have you hit?" He shut up pretty quickly, lol.

2.5 The boys teams (in our league at least) are all pretty snotty about the girls teams. It's not uncommon for a couple of the boys to come watch practices or games and shout out at the girls "You suck!" They're told to leave, coaches and parents are told about it, but it hasn't stopped it. Last week, we had a game scheduled on one field and some of the boys from one team got there early and claimed the field for their practice. No biggie, a scheduled game comes before any practice, but when the boys coach got there and chewed them out and told them they had to go to a different field for practice, the boys made some really nasty comments to the girls (on plus side the coach did make them run their entire practice and pulled some of the worst from the next few games.) Funny thing is, out of all the teams in our league, both baseball and softball, Kota and nieces team has (by a large margin) the best stats (they're 10 wins, 2 loses and in 2nd place in their division) but the girls are too polite to point out that if anyone is sucking, it's certainly not them. Ok, they also know if they did point that out their coach would be a whole heck of a lot tougher on them than the boys coach was on his team, lol.

Congratulations on Your
1st Homerun, Kota!!


2. Babysitting again. The younger two are a little wacky.

3. Speaking of which, it is their bedtime so I guess I better get them upstairs.

Congratulations
on Your
First Homerun
Kota!


2. I can't believed I pulled that off. I may learn this stuff yet.

3. Ohhh, cute little emoticon! My little Denim, or Titi as I call her, is brown though. And little Titi, who weighs 4 pounds, tried to attack a possum last night. I took both dogs out and wondered why she was throwing such a fit, she was barking at the fence. Then she turned around... and that's when I saw the possum, up against the trailer about three feet from me and two feet from her. My son told me later it lives under the shed. She started running toward it and so did I, stupidly I guess but I don't want to lose my dog. She stopped when I told her to though.

4. Ugh it makes me mad when nobody will leave me alone long enough to post here and I lose my train of thought!

1. Thanks you guys! She'll be tickled pink to see those.

2. Little dogs like to pretend they are big dogs and tough, lol.

3. Darren is so funny. Along with his new job and working out of the lab, he now has his own personal phone and phone number. He emailed me the phone number Monday, then called yesterday to give me the number over the phone and then asked me to try calling him cuz no one had yet. I had to crack up, picturing him sitting there just waiting for the phone to ring, lol.

4. We got all Caleb's end of year info this week. Graduation ceremony, 8th grade field trip (Six Flags, they've been doing that since I was in jr high at least,) final concerts for guitar, his play, etc etc. They have to turn in all their text books next week (they still have til June 10th til school is out, what the heck are they going to do?)

5. Caleb's on his last day of all the dang testing today. Kota finished yesterday. Glad that's all over with for this year.

1. War, that reminds me of a movie or maybe a TV show I saw where the geeky, unpopular guy was promoted but got no calls. Soon I'm sure he will be begging for it to stop.

2. Ugg, kids visitation again this weekend. I had a blast, my granddaughter has decided quickly she is Geegee's girl and basically just wanted to sit in my lap and play with the 3 dolls I bought her. Worked for me!

3. And the ugg part of that, the ex-dil. Durn that woman is driving me batty. I set up arrangements with her grandmother, who is out of town, for ex-dil to visit her son at my home from 2-6 today. The one condition I laid down is that there would be zero trouble. She started causing trouble before she even got here yesterday, then brought her niece and a friend with her today. I was going to let the niece slide but the friend? Sorry, no. I get to decide who is welcome in my home, it was her visitation, not her friend's, I didn't have to try to accommodate her at all, and she causes enough trouble alone, no one will be here for her to feed off of.

2. She got huffy and took her younger kids and went home. Then called back at 6 saying she was coming back over to spend the night. Nope, not the arrangement. We finally had tto tell her everybody would have to talk to their lawyers again before the next meeting, and I want the agreement in writing.

3. She's still trying to plow through life by lying, sweet talk, and drama, drama, drama. Doesn't work here anymore.

4. Wow was it ever windy and cool here today! My tootsies are cold and it's May in Tennessee. Incredible.

5. I think my grandson has 2 more weeks of school. I am looking forward to taking a break from driving him to school.

6. I loved summer vacation as a kid. We would skip down the gravel road after getting off the bus on the last day singing "School's out, school's out, teacher let the bulls out!" I don't know where they came from or where they went but it took the janitors 3 months to clean up after them.

6.a. Can you tell I was out of topics?

1. LOL Southern grits, I was thinking the same thing. Pretty soon he'll wish he didn't have his own line!

2. I like email better than the phone because if I call, I might be disrupting him. With email, he can check it and answer whenever he is free.

3. 2 more weeks? Ya'll get out earlier than we do and I thought we were early (June 10th.) Our summer vacation is only 2 months though...er, wait, I'm not sure of that! Caleb's is only 2 months, the high school starts back August 9th, but sis was telling me her girls start back after labor day this year. While Kota is in jr high and nieces in elementary, they are the same school district (the high schools are a different school district) and I might have to check hers out!

4. Tomorrow starts are busy week with the kids. Kota has a game and Caleb has his first concert. We are going to the concert and missing the game because he only has a couple concerts a year and she has 20 some odd games.

5. Then he has a late night of play practice Tuesday and then the play on Wednesday and Thursday. Dakota has a game Wednesday and since we're missing Monday's, we will be going to that and going to watch his play on Thursday night. I hate having to miss anything the kids do!

6. Girls had a game yesterday that they won. They are really having a fantastic season. Niece was pitching, sometimes she gets so nervous and uptight that she'll have a lousy first inning like yesterday and give up five runs. But, eventually she'll loosen up, smile, and she's on fire. Watching her be nervous is terrible, but once she starts smiling, we can relax and just have fun. What made it really fun though was that besides are older in-fielder girls making their usual good plays, yesterday our younger out-fielder girls got to make some really good plays too.

7. I shaved the puppy today, it was past time to do it. I'm pretty sure there was enough hair to make a second PJ, lol. I thought she was getting a little chunky until I started shaving her and realized how much hair she actually had!

1. Caleb's concert was last night, it was fantastic and he did great. He said afterwards he was sorry he couldn't get into the guitar class at the high school cuz he really enjoys it.

2. Luckily, he has friends who play and we have friends who have offered to continue teaching him once he's out of school. And hopefully, he'll be able to get back into the music program at the high school his sophmore year.

3. Dakota had a rough game last night (though they won.) Darren and I were able to stop by for a few minutes and were there to watch her at bat. She hit the ball straight down center...and hit the pitcher in the shin. She felt terrible, first for hitting her, but also cuz the pitcher is a friend of hers. Before that, her (she was playing catcher) and the third base girl had the runner in a pickle and Kota threw the ball to third base...only third base was watching where she was running and didn't see the ball and Kota nailed her in the arm. The girls were fine, but she always feels so rotten when stuff like that happens.

4. Tomorrow is opening night for Caleb's play. We're having to juggle schedules cuz he has to be at the school at the same time Kota is supposed to be in Rosamond for a game.

5. Straight after school I'm dropping Kota off with sis and she'll take her to the game while Darren and I drop Caleb off. Then we'll go to the game and have to leave early to pick Caleb up while sis takes Kota to her house.

6. We have tickets for Thursday nights show and we're very excited to see it. I saw a short preview a few months ago at a school board meeting and it was pretty funny. The kids have worked very hard for the last several months and especially the last couple weeks. When I picked Caleb up tonight after the dress rehearsal he was totally jazzed, said it went off without a hitch and they are all so ready.

7. My bils birthday is tomorrow. He'll be 37 (lets keep that straight cuz I'm only six weeks younger than he is, lol.) We've got a card for the softball team to sign and I'm sneaking cupcakes for everyone to surprise him.

8. We celebrated his birthday Sunday, along with aunts birthday and Mother's Day. Next weekend is youngest nephews birthday, then the weekend after is Caleb's. Next month is worse, first Caleb's graduation, then Darren's birthday, oldest nieces, middle nephew, and finally mine.

4. My hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, lost it big last night and are out of the playoffs. BOO HISS

5. I'm signing Matt up for hockey tonight but I'm wondering if he's still a bit too young. It starts at 5 yrs and hes 5 this December...but they're all still so little....decisions!!!

6. Parenthood is my new favourite show

7. Just finishing off my Year End for work...Its been a busy week or two...

8. My new washer & dryer are fabulous!! My court day is fading from memory..thankfully!

1. I'm dieting, too, CG. Not grumpy today, though. <knock on wood>

2. Congrats to Caleb on the concert. I'm sure the play will be a success, too.

3. Hope Kota has recovered from her rough game. She sounds very sensitive and sweet to be so concerned about fellow players.

4. I'm team-teaching a graphic novel daily with an English teacher and it is with a tough group of kids.

5. They just don't care, and I understand why they don't care, but I still wish I could make them care.

6. Most of them have shit lives. One girl's mother is an addict who is not only known to shoot up in front of her, but is currently in jail.

7. Another is a foster kid who has made statements before about not being wanted by his mother.

8. I wish I could reach them all and I often feel at such a loss when working with them.

9. The diet I am doing is pretty strict. It's a meal replacement with on your own one green and protein meal a day.

10. I'm looking forward to having shrimp when I get home! It sounds positively luxurious!

.5 Either big hugs, Dfennessey or take them home with you so they can have a loving family.

1. Cinnamongirl, if hockey is anything like little league, at that age they're just learning the basics and having lots of fun. I love watching the little ones, they're out dancing on base and dogpiling on each other for the ball. Soooo much fun and soooo cute! Matt will probably have a blast with it!

2. Oh, another rough game for Kota. Her second time at bat, she hit the ball, it bounced, and then hit the third base girl in the shin (third base girl set out the rest of that inning, but was fine for the next one.) Then the universe decided it was Kota's turn. At her last at bat the first three balls went sailing about four feet over her head and then the last one smacked her on the inside of her leg just above her ankle. She limped off to base (automatic walk if the batter gets hit) and turned to her first base coach and told him she needed a time out. Coach called time and looked down at her and she was in tears, so he called in a sub runner and took her to the dugout. By the time Darren and I got there, she was already developing an ugly bruise. I ran and got her ice and she probably would have set out the rest of the game except that on Wednesdays we have one girl gone from the team and didn't have anyone to fill the last position. She'd been playing catcher, so they put her on first and had another girl fill her position as catcher. She's sore, the bruise is really nasty now, but fine. Er, well not fine, by the time she went to bed she was running a fever (totally not related to getting hit,) not sure what's up with that.

2.5 Caleb was totally jazzed tonight. His play went great, he had a blast and enjoyed the heck out of himself, he said the audience loved it, and their advisor/teacher was absolutely thrilled. After they got in their costumes, they got to go outside and be silly for the audience before the show started and he really liked that part. I can't wait to see the show tomorrow night!

1. Dfennessey, I know. Unfortunately, most of them wouldn't even appreciate that. They are cynical, distrustful and hostile. :-( I wish I could make them see the good opportunities life can hold for them if they work for it.

2. I'm sorry about Kota! But congrats to Caleb!

3. I've started a serious diet, as I've mentioned, and yesterday I had my sister take before pictures of me. My youngest nephew and niece decided they wanted to be in the pictures. It was pretty hilarious, actually.

1.1 I think if you get the kids one on one with no other peers around they would love a hug.

1. LOL Auntie Hermie, don't you just love camera time with the little ones?

2. Kota's leg was fine this morning. Pretty nasty bruise, but she's a weird kid and mighty proud of it, lol.

3. Kids came home with a note from school yesterday, finally, that the school was closing at the end of this year. Three months ago, they came home with rumors about the closure. Couple weeks later it was announced to the kids during an assembly. It's been in the local newspaper, was announced at Caleb's concert the other day, and a couple weeks ago I asked in the office what school Kota would be going to next year. But, this was the first actual communication from the school itself to parents what was going on. On the plus side, judging by the new boundaries, most of Kota's friends will be transferring with her.

4. We are going to the Rennaisance Faire this weekend. This is the first weekend we've had that we can use the tickets.
