DrHug and I decided it was weed and blackberry spraying day. I had just gotten started when I stepped in a hole in the yard, fell with a 5 gallon sprayer on my back and sprained my ankle. What a klutz! Darn gophers! The sprain is not too bad. Hurt like the dickens for a while, but after some ice and some tylenol I am now able to hobble on it. I did have one of those amazing boots they give you for really bad sprains (from a few years ago when I did a real job on both ankles! ) and I put it on so I could manage to help Dennis finish up.

Oh Angie, take care of yourself!!!! We really want to see you healthy in DL!!!!!

Raymar Morgan, from MSU went to the High School I graduated from . . .

Our team (where I am on the school board) won our region tonight, and we are now in the State Division I final four. We are cancelling school on Friday (day of the first game at 5:15 - they will add a day on in June) which works for us, since now we don't have to call Sophia off school when we leave for Orlando!

OMG! How rediculous! I would be furious if our schools did that just because of a basketball game.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Autumn. She is improving everyday. She is now able to sit by herself and yesterday she walked about 20 feet with just holding my hands. They thought it would be months till she walked again. The last 3 days she has managed to eat enough so I did not have to feed her through her tube. She is smiling and laughing again.

Hugs all
Jill

Jill, thank you for posting & making my day. Hearing how well Autumn is doing makes my heart smile. Will keep up the prayers for her...they are a powerful thing.

Angie, take it easy girl! You are allowed to sit & put your feet up with something like that.

BTW, just ordered the kids the 1 GB shuffles for 39 at the apple store. I was shocked that they were still there since the deal was posted yesterday afternoon. DS is buying his & DD's will be put away. She doesn't deserve one right now even if she were to pay for it. Maybe it can be used later for negotiations. The Ipod is great like that for DS. He got 1 hour of ipod time for standing still & smiling for pictures at the service. He is going to write book reports to earn time too. Motivation works.

well....the Outlawz are here and I am sneaking wine in the kitchen.

 

[lbgraves]

Hang in there Vanessa. (((HUGS)))

 

[lillygator]

I am guessing some parents may be upset, but this has really pulled our community together. We have a chance to be State Champions! We have been also rans too many times, and last night was a great experience.

Everyone wore white - parents, students, fans, and we did a "white out" !

V - are you glad Florida won? Perdue gave them a battle for a while.

It says . . . online voting coming soon - won't let me vote. Am I just missing something?

We will agree to disagree on this one!

(Actually every school who makes it does the same thing, so teachers and students can attend games).

Forgot to tell you guys, I got a letter from DCL on Friday . . . .

It was about the fax I sent to reserve the first cruise on the new ships . . .


They sent me my fax back, and told me they are not currenlty accepting any advance reservations for the new ships . . . . thanked me for my support . . . blah, blah, blah . . .

Oh well . . .

Good try John!

Now it let me vote . . . I don't get it . . .

I tried to vote ONLY for Utah - wouldn't let me.

I tried voting for Utah 3 times - wouldn't let me.

So I voted for two others that I thought looked the LEAST photogenic, not wanting to give the real competition any votes . . .

This was not easy - those girls all look so perfect.

I always say "deep calming breaths" when I get really upset. Now DD says it back to me. Mommy, Deep Calming Breaths....

So that's all the advice I have. sorry!

Should work fine. You can also vote through the NBC site if the missusa site does not work,but wierd...

Amy, do you really yell and scream at games like John said? (because I do and DD looks at me like an alien has invaded my body)

Thanks John (that is exactly what I did too!!!)

LOL! Of course they have markers! Up until 4 they used those crayola wonder markers though...no sense asking for trouble.
