Right now I'm happy that our city just got power back after being off since 7:45 this morning. TX Electric is being very quiet about the source or cause of this outage ... hmmm...

Right now I am happy that my replication of the image from the Go Goddess game turned out so well in a journal I did.
The person actually has dimension--I used Dap Easy Solutions DryDex Spackling. The wings are actually loose and not fastened down.

right now, i am tired. i drove 456 miles to take my son for his cast and then get him back to college and get myself back home... i am also hoping ds is okay. i can take a lot of traumas, i have delivered a baby, and held my bare hand over gunshot wounds, but it's harder when it's your kid who's the patient! when they reduced his fracture and basically had to turn the little finger bone around before setting his broken hand, i was hurting for him! he said even with the novacaine, he could feel it some. he said if he hadn't had the novacaine, he would have screamed and fainted from the pain. i am dreading taking him for the new cast in 3 weeks...total miles of from here to school to hospital back to school and back to here for me? 760, if we never get off for food or gas. i am thinking i cannot do this, so will maybe get a room before the last 'back to here' part. that will still be 560 miles. if i didn't love my ds, i would bean him! but the good news is, he has gotten 85% on both of his last calc tests.

Tabby: As I said before, I understand you not wanting ds to drive with the terrible fog in your area (i know about the fog in that area...just horrible). I remember you mentioning giving him a car around Christnas time...but he didn't want the car (a VW?). What ever happen to that. From what you wrote...I kinda' assumed he was just being "a teenager" for not getting the truck...instead getting a VW. Sorry, if I don't have the story right...I'm just going by my memory (ahem!). So...your son decided not to take the car? Either way, Tabby, it is so great that you are being such a great Mom and being there for ds no matter what. That is so precious and something he will never forget (as I'm sure you know). Love hearing all the "mom stories" on this site. TVCH really does have the greatest group of Moms ever!!! ----- tabby: so glad to hear ds is doing better in school. is he enjoying being in school yet? has he made many friends? he feels better now? i hope so.

Right now, I am so proud of me and humble too! LOL In preparation for the party, I started painting the hall and the extra room last weekend. (you know, the chores that you have been putting off but now need to get done!) I had started painting it a bright yellow before I found out that dd was getting my childhood furniture. We decided to move her twin beds into the room to make sort of a daybed. I also have my treadmill in this room AND it's the kids' tv room. I got a little panicked cause dd's existing bedding wasn't really blending with the yellow walls, then I remembered her camp stuff was all primary tie dye and got that out and it looks so cool!!!!! Along the center back wall is the tv/videos/books and the left wall is my treadmill on the right wall is the bed done up sort of sofa-ish and then in between off to the side sort of closer to the treadmill is a chair and ottoman! The playroom/workout room/guest room turned out so well!!!!!!! it really looks like a fine room! How is that for a multi purpose room! LOL

right now, son decided he does want the bug, but there is a lottery for parking, so he can't take it. also, he can't drive a stick with his broken right hand. (he didn't want the bug because he was upset that his sister got a car at any earlier age than he did. he also didn't even bother to get his permit til he was almost seventeen, while she got right to it.... ) he absolutely HATES his college and will be leaving at the end of this year. he is going to do community college for at least a year, probably two before going back to a 4-year college. he has decided engineering is not for him, but the school won't let him change majors without mega difficulties-they are all separate colleges within the college. with a community college, he does not have to declare a major; he can get a lot of his general ed out of the way. i wish some of the counselors would advise students and parents that our high school does not really prepare a kid for heading off to a difficult major in college. for most of these kids, community college first would be better. we are hearing nightmares of daughters with eating disorders at fresno state, and sons failing out of pre-med at davis, etc. my ds was in the top 15% of his class of 450 students, but still finding college very tough. i think this will be better in the long run. we were all getting stressed over his difficulties!

Right now I just got done with a long fish tank cleaning event. Yep- cleaning and doing water changes on three tanks is indeed an event. The little guys sure look happy though.

Right now, I am very frustrated with the media, the medical community, and the drug companies for the way they are portraying health care concerns. I just watched a local morning "news" magazine show talking about women's health concerns. They said that while only 1 of 30 women would die of breast cancer, 1 of 3 would die of heart disease and the concern was that there isn't as much emphasis on heart disease as breast cancer. The implication was that the heart people wanted more publicity! And the other implication was that in a room of 30 women, 1 would die of breast cancer, 10 would die of heart disease and the other 19 would be just fine. Um...excuse me... The other 19 are going to die of something...and I would like to know what! I am really tired of health care people scaring folks about their impending demise of certain things know full well, that sooner or later we are going to die of SOMETHING! There is no getting around it, and I really resent that they think I should spend everything I have worked my whole life for just to try and avoid the inevitable. The latest reports this morning now have everyone getting all up in arms about anti-biotics being linked to breast cancer. Maybe this will give doctors some pause before they prescribe them unnecessarily. Sorry for my rant. My grandmother died suddenly at age 69 of heart attack. My mother-in-law died at age 69 after an 8 year battle with Alzheimer's disease. I learned there are worse things than dying of a heart attack. I am going to die of something eventually. I would prefer it would be before I become a burden to my family. I am just sick of hearing the medical community harping to us about "saving your life". Once your life has been lived, there is no more saving it...only extending it...and there comes a point when it is just time to move on. You just can't prevent death...and no one will admit it. Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest.

Right now I am staring at a huge rug from Iraq. I have no idea what to do about it. It's gigantic. I feel awful, because I know my husband probably thought long and hard about which one to get and will be crushed if I am anything less than thrilled with it. I think he intends it for our bedroom. But for the last 6 months, I have been redoing our room, a new blueish spread, refinishing the green furniture to it's natural wood, etc. This massive red, navy and gold rug will NOT go with my plans. Honestly it's just so....colorful, I can't imagine where we'll put it. It's going to be one of those things that I will have to prominently display, yet secretly hate for the next 20 years.

not1, send it to me and say you never got it!! i have one with similar colors in my family room--we have hardwood floors in most of the downstairs, so need a large area rug to place the furniture on. before we had a rug large enough for the couch legs to actually be on, every time someone sat down on the couch, it would slide on the floor! annoying as hell! it sounds beautiful to me, but if you don't care for it--just try, every time you look at it, to think of your husband's service to his country and how even in the midst of a horrible assignment, he thought to send you something. and how he wanted to surprise you and maybe doesn't know you were going to surprise him. remember 'the gift of the magi'? i would let him know it is going in the main room where everyone can see it. if you are in military housing, it is probably your one room that counts as 'den,family,livingroom'. if you have carpet, put the area rug over it. when he gets home, make love (not war! LOL) on it after ditching the kids, of course!

the other suggestion is this: "dear honey, the rug you got for your mother arrived today. i have forwarded it to her. love, not1" you could always add a p.s., but i like the one above all by itself "i would like similar one for our bedroom, of smaller size and more muted colors. perhaps we can pick one out together when you get back home."

Right now, I just got back from taking our donation to St. Jude Children's Hospital. We were in a fund raiser with Kroger to collect a Million Pennies for them. All the schools in my area are participating and my babies in Kindergarten thru Second grade raised $1,998.87 for those kids. More than any other school in Desoto County!! I am just so proud of them I could bust!!!
