Hey Y'all,
Wow I missed a bunch on here yesterday, I doubt I can quote everything, I'll take up the whole page!
Alexis LOVED school yesterday! Absolutely adores her teacher! Chris does too, because she called to make sure Alexis was supposed to get on the bus that afternoon. She sounds like a wonderful teacher, Alexis thought they played games all day, but after listening to her, she was learning when she thought she was playing! She didn't complain about the bus ride home even though it was a 35 minute ride home.
If the time doesn't improve I don't think I'll continue to put her on the bus. (Once I'm cleared to drive without the collar.) It's actually making mornings tougher because I'm trying to get DH & her out at the same time. Angelina came here to help me this morning. She rustled Alexis along while I helped Bob. My dr. appt. is next Tuesday, so I'm hoping I'll get the okay then. If not
Dinner last night was an almost disaster. Chris & Alexis hung out here after school & just threw my dinner & bread making all out of schedule. The bread never got finished, so now I have 2 seperate starters going. My short ribs were so overdone, I almost had to throw it out. The ribs were okay but the sauce was a goner.
Maria, I hope Lily is better today.
I'll pray that can get everything fixed cheaply & go ahead with the sale!
Kat, I know how hard it is! I did the very same thing! Thought I was fine until someone asked about it & the tears would flow. Please call me if you need to talk!
Hope you're feeling better today. My DD told me that the route took a long time when she did it, many years ago. So I'm guessing it might go down just a bit by next week, but not by much.
That sure does sound delicious! I love peaches.
Robin, No, I don't think snow will be a problem. But I can tell you I needed a bath after waiting outside for 15 min. in the slurry of heat & humidity that is August in Nola!
I so appreciate your worry! But try not to, I'm doing okay! I'm so sorry Ethan is having such a hard time! Elizabeth must be so upset! Prayers that it improves quickly! Sorry I missed wishing you a happy b-day yesterday. Oops I'm not supposed to mention that am I?!
You sure know how to carve a chicken! That salad looks soo good!
I'm so glad Emma is excited about school! I'm worrying about the spread of sickness that the start of school brings too! We've just started to see cases of swine flu down here.
That sounds nice! I'm glad she get the wedding dress & Dad will be able to walk her down the aisle!!!
I'm glad the start of school is going so well in your house! Yeah for Katie! Glynis, You are truly blessed with a beautiful family!
First of all DO NOT APOLOGIZE!!! Isn't that what you are always telling me! I'm so sad for all of you. Poor Ethan! and with Matthew leaving Saturday, that is just too much change at once. Prayers & hugs my friend.
Oh gosh, this is so long.Now I see Maria's post!
Maria, I'm so sorry you aren't getting any answers for Lily! I'm praying for her!
Also sorry you're going to miss Frampton! DH & I went on one of our first ( not the first but pretty near) dates to a Frampton Concert! Hearing his music always brings back good memories for us.

I was until I got a call today that there is a water leak under the house.
Just when I think I'm doing well with Kyle gone, I start crying as soon as I start talking about it with anyone!

Oh my 5 mins. from your house and she is on the bus 40 mins. I wouldn't be happy either. First day of school is Sept.8. In MI public schools can't start until after holiday. Sorry I'm alittle out off it I had an injection at 1:30. Fun fun.

I made an awesome Sour Cream Peach Pie. .
That sure does sound delicious! I love peaches.
Sheryl- I think bus schedules are always off the first few days. I always took the bus and the kiddo too, since the first day of kindergarten, I guess I've never thought twice about it. Keep in mind it might be late, some of the kids might take some convincing to get on the bus. Just be glad you don't have to wait for the bus in the snow!
See you all later!
Robin, No, I don't think snow will be a problem. But I can tell you I needed a bath after waiting outside for 15 min. in the slurry of heat & humidity that is August in Nola!
Sheryl~I so worry about you. Please be careful. Hugs to you and your girl today!!
Today was Ethan's first day of Kindergarten also. I went over this morning to take pictures and to be there to send him off. Elizabeth took him and I was so afraid she would really have a hard time but she didn't get the chance as Ethan completely fell apart once they got there. Bless his heart. She ended up just leaving. I am so glad I didn't go as I probably would have scooped him up and took him home with me. She had a few teacher friends call and say that he calmed right down. So all will be ok, just a hard day.
Love to all I missed. Have a great day everyone and hug those babies - they grow up so fast.

Here are some recent pictures. Beer can chicken:

First day went very well! Emma's super excited to go back tomorrow. One little girl in her class already got sick, but I'm thinking it was heat related as they were just outside at recess. Crossing my fingers it isn't anything contagious. Thanks for all the comments on my pics on FB. She's exhausted now from a busy day and is relaxing on the couch.

They getting married at a place called Chapel By the Sea. It is much nicer if you ask me and she is wearing her wedding gown which she purchased last time they were engaged and never got to wear. I also think now there might be an aisle for DH to actually walk her down.
Poor DH has mentioned a couple of times already he always thought he would be able to dance with her at her wedding. I know him I think he is going to cry big time. He is so sensitive, I love that about him.
That sounds nice! I'm glad she get the wedding dress & Dad will be able to walk her down the aisle!!!
Well, Katie survived her first day of Jr. High, and more importantly, she loved it! She really likes all her teachers, and is excited about school! I love that!
The other 3 school age kids have their first day today, and Katie has the day off. All of them will go to school tomorrow. So, really, tomorrow is my first day with just me and Timothy at home!
Jacob, Leslie and Mary are all excited about school as well.
I'm glad the start of school is going so well in your house! Yeah for Katie! Glynis, You are truly blessed with a beautiful family!
Well Ethan update - I went over to get him this morning and as soon as I got out of the car I heard screaming. NOT good!!
This is the boys last night of golfing. Doug is really having a hard time with this, but again there really isn't anything we can do about it. Matthew will leave for college Saturday. Oh how I HATE change!!
Sorry this is kind of a sad post. Sure didn't mean to make it that way. At the moment you are all I have.
