All is well over here - just freezing cold

Roll on Florida!

Ellis has a tendancy to exaggerate his illness - the other day he claimed he'd nearly cut his finger off... when I looked it was just a scratch ... men.... they just cant take pain

That sounds like Jay!

Hey Karen...hope all is well across the big pond.

Yeah the kids might have a little discomfort, but generally I think they are ok. They are DEFINITELY going to school tomorrow, especially since they only have a half day due to the holiday.

Chris - Sorry the kids are somewhat under the weather. I hope it's just that they needed a mental health day - we all need those every now and then.

Didn't get on much yesterday just long enough to jump on and say HI. Had to go finish cleaning up the yard before the rain and wind. Thank god on snow yet. although they are getting it up North. Remember Joanne.
Nancy says im to pickey I like a clean yard not full of leaves and whatever.
Joanne thats a beautiful picture of your tree.
Before I forget it the KENNEY family would like to wish everybody on the Board a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING and also for the upcoming Holidays. From our family to yours.

Dan and Nancy

Thanks Dan and Nancy K. Back at ya!

I just got back from watching Ellis - his class was chosen for a dance festival at another school. It was lovely

I originally wasnt going (for those of you who dont know I am a terrible driver ....well,.... parker actually ). I have no sense of direction whatsoever and get lost at the drop of a hat.

Neil had to work so I forced myself to drive somewhere totally new and find the school, then find a parking space

I did it

I was panicking all the way there but,... I did it!

I know this seems extremely simple to most of you, but to me it was a great achievment ... I would normally have spent $50 each way on a taxi

Good job girlfriend!

Hi Chris

Hope your "sort of sick" kids get better soon

I know what you mean. At the school where Ellis went to today every child had some sort of disability. Most in wheelchairs, some with tubes up their noses, and yet they were still having fun and joining in in their own way with the dancing. Their carers do an amazing job. I totally admire them all. I'd be in tears every day at the stuff some kids have to go through in a regular day.

It certainly brings you back to reality when you realize how lucky we are to have healthy (most of the time) kids

Chris, I hope your kids feel better for the holidays. Karen, I agree with you. I always get all choked up when I watch those telethons for sick/disabled kids. I usually cry through most of it too.

I wonder how Paige is doing?

We're all thinking of you Sister P

I know I haven't talked to her really before but I have to admit that very question is bouncing around my head alot!

Likewise - I find myself shooting up little arrow prayers all through the day. I do hope everything is going along smoothly and her kiddos and husband are okay.

Thanks Dan and Nancy and the same to you!

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better

Thanks Karen! Must be all the hugs and pixie dust from my fellow BOBers!

I vote for no 2 and 10 ... although I agree - Cadbury World should have been on there too

A woman with priorities! We're going to get along just fine!

This is fabulous Karen! I'm so proud of you! Next thing, you'll be wanting a Garmin!

Good job. My mother never learned to drive. We lived in the city for a long time.

Yes I believe we are all counting our blessing these days. Handicapped children make me appreciate mine even more.

Hope all is going well with Paige.....

Blessings fo?

Hi Dan & Nancy.

Happy Turkey day to you also. I can't believe you don't have any snow. We used to get it at Loring by Halloween.

Your son will love his Garmin. Ds # 1 borrowed ours this week end.

 

[Karen Mouse]

This is fabulous Karen! I'm so proud of you! Next thing, you'll be wanting a Garmin!

Good grief - no! - Neil has one - that blooming woman drives me crazy!

I'd have to turn her off ... maybe if Jack Sparrow spoke to me then I'd buy one

I thought I would jump on the board today. I have been working a lot of hours in the office and at home. Thank you for the Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all are staying warm.

Karen,

Congrats on the driving. I am one that gets lost very easy. That is why I ahve GPS system in my van and it is wonderful. Mine has a male voice that is just as annoying as the womens voice. Sometimes I go the wrong way just to see if it will yell at me.

My future daughter in law is a special ed teacher for high school. Most of her kids are high functioning. They are amazing people with what they have accomplished with their disabilities.

 

[goslingl]

Kathy,

I am so sorry you are feeling bad. Drink lots of water and rest. I knwo the kitties will take good care of you.

Thanks, Leisha. I am feeling better today, but still really drained. I must admit I'm enjoying my time on the couch with my kitty nurses, Sasha & Nicky.

If Jack Sparow spoke to me, I'd have to turn it off to keep from having a wreck due to laughing so hard.

Leisha, What exceptionality does your D-i-l work with? I did special ed. for three years.
