1. The 432nd (Civil Affairs) is coming home today!!! They're getting to Green Bay at 11:15 A good friend of mine from work, as well as a teacher I know, have been in Iraq since last March...they been gone since September 2002, having gone to Fort Bragg first.

2. There's so many of them- 130 in their unit. They're interviewing families on TV and they're all so excited. *sniff* I need a Kleenex. I'm getting all teary.

3. I get to watch little Simon this weekend!! That's my cousin's little dog. He's so cute and weird- I just love dogsitting for him.

4. I realized yesterday just how big my angelfish have gotten since they got a new tank in Jan. or Feb. I also have a red-tailed shark in my other tank that's getting pretty big.

5. They just said on the news also that some woman has just had her stolen purse returned to her after 20 years. It was hidden up in a wall at the mall where she worked 20 years ago and they found it when they tore out the wall to remodel.

6. Good thing Kady got hers back so fast. Especially carrying around that much cash. I never have cash on me.

7. On Thursdays when I cash my check I take out $20 and that's my cash for the week. Beyond that, I use my debit card for pretty much everything (and keep one blank check in my wallet in case I need it).

8. It's nice out today and I want to go geocaching but there aren't any caches within 30-35 miles that I haven't found yet. I'm starting to be forced to take longer and longer trips but if I'm going that far I want to get more than one or two. Maybe I should run down to Milwaukee for the afternoon. Nah.

1. I'm trying to get motivated to go shopping and run some errands. Not really having much luck, lol.

2. Caleb is having his game party tomorrow. Two of my nephews are going to spend most of the day and the night with us.

3. Caleb and my older nephew have plans to plant themselves in front of the tv and play video games all day.

4. I'm going to buy them a couple board games because I don't like seeing kids planted in front of the tv all day, lol.

5. My little nephew is 3. He told me yesterday he can't wait to come over and cook. We'll probably bake a cake.

6. Dakota on the other hand is going on a date with dad. She's already planned on going to play miniture golf, go cart racing, going to the arcade, and McDonalds for dinner. She told me yesterday she wants to wear her pretty dress, and could I fix her hair and nails.

7. The kids go back to school Monday. They only have 8 more weeks of school then they're off til August. The school year is changing a bit next year, so this will be the first year we have an almost normal summer vacation.

8. I'm looking forward to getting back to our school schedule. I've got a couple books I want to finish, and I want to get back to me time once a week.

9. I was supposed to plan a getaway for MOW and I for a couple days, and still haven't done it.

1. lots of shit is going down at work. they are moving people all around the shop, to other locations, etc. it has been a stressful week. luckily production employees (like me) aren't getting cuts.

2. i am the current high bidder at ebay on a t-shirt that says "i nerds". unfortunately for me, i found the same shirt at target in black (that i like better) instead of green like the one on ebay. damn! it looks like i am going to win. i guess i will have 2 now!

3. i have been hanging out on a kelly clarkson board a little for the last week, and some of those people are just insanely obsessed with her. i mean i like her and everything, but i don't want to stalk her, lol.

4. i am going to my cousin's wedding tomorrow, in which my niece is the flower girl "awwwwwwwww". she is the cutest thing youve ever seen!

5. there is this new song called "redneck woman", that i LOVE, it is absolutely hilarious!

5.1111324 my alterego friend swears that she saw janet jackson at an airport in canada today. any of you canucks know if ms. jackson was in canada today? i know someone here will have an answer.

1. Jbean - I've heard that song and you're right, it's hilarious!

2. Well I didn't get to see "13 Going On 30" last night because it was SOLD OUT! I was so peeved! We're going to try to go again tonight, but this time we're reserving tickets online!

3. So we drove over to the mall and browsed a bit to make our trip worth while.

4. We made the biggest mistake by going into the pet store!

5. I fell in love with a mini-dachshund...a little girl, and she was just tooooooo cute! I seriously wanted to take her home right there and then.

6. The price was just a little too high for us, so now we're on the hunt for a breeder...Yay!!!

1. This weekends sleep over with the nephews went great. The kids had a wonderful time.

2. The house stayed fairly clean, the boys played well together, and Kota pretty much left them alone Saturday night.

3. They did feel sorry for her at bedtime having to go to her room alone, so they invited her to sleep in Caleb's room with them. Funniest thing I saw, we put them on the floor, and when I went to bed later I poked my head in to check on them and all four of them had climbed into his bed. Dakota got tired of it after a few hours, and came and asked if she could sleep in my room because she was getting kicked by the boys.

4. She had a great time out with dad. They played so hard at the arcade that she lost one barette and a hair tie. They won a bunch of tickets off some game and they came home with a bunch of little toys that she was kind enough to share with the boys.

5. Yesterday the kids played outside til lunchtime, then the boys went home. We spent the rest of the afternoon watching movies, playing games, and doing laundry.

6. The kids started back to school today. Caleb dang near flew out of the door when it was time to go. Kota spent the morning helping me with some chores, now she's in the tub soaking cuz she's not ready to get out yet, lol.

7. Feels good to have a normal routine to get back into. I'm right on schedule today, by the time she goes to school in an hour, the housework will be done and I'll be ready to go grocery shopping.

1. Gonna be 86 degrees here today!!! Yippeee! It's very much Spring right now, including all the pollen for those of us with allergies.

2. My DH and I farmed out all four kids on Friday night and used a $100 gift certificate to a fancy restaurant for dinner. We used it all! It was wonderful to have all that alone time with him.

3. Got the rest of my garden planted this weekend and now we are all tending it with the hope of a successful harvest.

4. I have my almost 8 year old home with a 103 fever today. The Motrin helps get it down and then it goes up again. He wants to go to school!!!

5. I'm checking into preschools for next year for my 4 year old. Unfortunately, most are full for the days I want and there are waiting lists. I may have waited too long.

6. We're thinking about taking in a foreign exchange student next year. Does anyone have any experience with this they'd like to share in my folder????

7. I'm hoping my friend, Sage, is alive and well and enjoying her life.

8. I wrote my first ever question to Moderators today. I am anxiously awaiting their response.

1. Hello my friend, AuntieMike, and to all my other friends here, too.

2. I am alive, and mostly well, but not always, if you know what I mean, cuz fibro really sucks sometimes.

3. I've been very active with the singles group.

4. Next Saturday, I'm hosting a Mini Golf event.

5. I've been seeing someone for a couple of weeks, but I think we are going to be just friends.

6. I'm also dating other guys too, and meeting new ones all the time.

7. I get very tired from it all, as it takes a lot of energy to get to know someone, and I've been getting to know a lot of someones.

8. My son turns 17 on Wednesday.

9. I painted a picture for him, found a very nice frame at Goodwill for a buck fifty, and painted that too.

glad to see more people posting in here.

1. my cousin got married on saturday and my sweet little niece was the flower girl.

2. my sister had niece's hair done for the wedding and she looked like a little grown up!

3. i had a grandma moment, when i saw niece walking down the aisle, i started crying. (very reminiscent of something my grandma would do. lol)

4. on the way home from the wedding, my friend called and asked if i wanted to go out later. i said "hell yeah!"

5. also on the way home, some guy flagged me down (he was standing in the middle of the street, so i had no choice but to stop), and asked me for a ride, because he had been "jumped" by a group of kids that were walking the other direction, and were quite a bit away from him.

6. i told him no, that i was sorry, i couldn't. he said he would give me $20. i apologized again and said no. TOO DANGEROUS!

7. a couple of years ago a young girl from nearby (19) got kidnapped and murdered by a guy who rearended her, and then kidnapped her from the scene. when the police got there, her car was still running on the side of the road, and her purse was still there. (but the police didn't think this was a big deal at 1 in the morning...NICE) turns out the guy was a registerd sex offender and had been in prison for many years, released only a few months earlier for good behavior.

8. on a better note, my friend and i had a really good time saturday night, as usual.

9. i had a pretty nasty hangover yesterday morning, and i really didn't even have that much to drink. what's up with that?

10. i slept horrible last night, and i'm starting to get tired now.

1. I am home.....for a whole month. WHEW!!! I am also in a panic as I look at my home, since I am moving. I think I need to paint the garage so it matches the house, get a new screen front door, paint the wheelchair ramp (AGAIN....it's every year!) and put down cheep sticky tiles in the basement OR strip and paint the floor. I think that the tiles would be easier. Has anyone done that? Oh, and buy a zillion flowers so the yard has curb appeal.

2. I am running a garage sale in my office...today's offerings are: Clarion University mugs (bought by my department chair), VHS Movies, piano music, business suits (sizes 2-10), shoes (size 5.5-6.5) and five lovely concert black skirts. I will bring more stuff tomorrow, and add Yu-gi-oh, Magic and Harry Potter cards, maybe even the beanie babies.

3. All of my conference presentations went really well, and I just got a flyer for the One-room school conference at the University of Northern Iowa. I am presenting two sessions. It's in June, and I think that my Mom would like to go to it. Maybe some of the other relatives would go too, and we could make it a reunion. Don't think many TVCHers would want to go, but I'd love to meet any Iowans in Cedar Falls.

Going home to scrounge more garage sale items and to watch bad TV. I should be grading papers. HA!

< Marm wonders where the heck Sage is meeting all these men!! Can you send one over for me?>

1. Juju, . The boys were great, they even sat still for an entire movie!

2. Darren bought us a new scanner this weekend. I have been busy scanning pics all afternoon.

3. The pics are so nice and clear and I'm having fun with it!

4. I've got two rolls of film in the shop, and I think one of them has Dakota's room (from her birthday in Sept. when we painted it.) If they are on that roll, I'll get around to posting them, lol.

1. I'm really really tired. Since early Friday morning, here's what I've done: flown from Vancouver to Toronto. Worked for 1 1/2 days in Toronto(12-14 hour day, if you count the "schmoozing" dinner event, which I do cause it's still work). Flew early early morning to Orlando. Worked half a day in Orlando. Flew early early morning back to Toronto. Went straight from airport to business, where I worked all day today until about 2 hours ago. Tomorrow I fly back to Vancouver, only to work all afternoon Pacific time on other projects I've neglected while I'm on the road.

2. I was recently offered two separate jobs at two respected companies. I am immensely flattered, but both would require a move back to the east coast (NY / DC), and I don't really want to do it. I also like being my own boss (own my own business), even if I work like a freaking maniac most of the time.

3. I'm curious where Marm is moving (i.e., which job she's taking).

4. I went up the CN Tower today for the first time. I stood on the glass floor. It was cool.

5. Did I mention I'm tired? But I went up the CN Tower. But I'm tired. But the CN Tower... But I'm tired... Insomnia makes you crazy.

1. I will be moving to Carbondale, Illinois and will be teaching at Southern Illinois University. My parents (4 hours away) are thrilled!

2. I enjoyed my interview at NYU, but I can't see myself cramming my stuff from a three story house into a one-bedroom Greenwich Village apartment. Also, one of the famous people there made sexist comments throughout my teaching demo. The faculty are friggin' geniuses, but the students weren't "all that". Facility is a real dump and they are administratively VERY unstable......things that make you go Hmmmmmmm.

3. I hate having students do group work, as Monkeyboy has mentioned, one member usually does everything. May as well just do your own.

4. I made a crock pot pork roast last night, and will eat leftovers the next couple of days.

5. I need to figure out how to seal the wall by my chimney, as it is showing water stains and the plaster is buckling and bubbling! HELP!!!

6. I do not want to go to work today. But I will. I get to come home early today, at 6:30pm. That will be nice.

7. The sun is actually shining! And my town is having a "Spring Fling" with food trailers set up in the park. I'm hungry, too!

1. i think jewels is a great mom, i can tell by her posts here just how much she loves her kids. :-)

2. today is the worst day i have had in a really long time. i am glad that i am not at work anymore.

3. i haven't slept well for the past 2 nights, so i woke up tired and with cramps. :-(

3. i got to work, where things just got progressively worse, from not having the right parts to build stuff, to the scheduler more or less acusing me of "losing" the parts, which couldn't be furhter from the truth.

4. oh yeah, and something went wrong when i clocked in this morning, and i had to have our (new) supervisor (his second day as our supv.) clock me. that makes me look really dependable. sigh. :-(

5. on the brighter side, tonight is my favorite tv night. idol, gilmore girls and one tree hill. doesn't get much better than that, i must say.

6. i am trying to think of positive things to post...and am not having the greatest luck. lol

7. i should be getting my kelly/clay concert dvd that i ordered soon. also a black jeweled nose stud that i bought off ebay.

8. both were supposed to have been shipped out yesterday.

happy idol night!
