LOL! Too funny! Were you able to find those gold coins yet? If not, I'll gladly pick some up for you.Thanks, Shaun is feeling just fine. He felt fine when I picked him up from school, he was just an unholy mess. Fortunately the nurse had warned me and I took a change of clothes to the school so I didn't have to put him in my car like that.
You know...what so WEIRD about my mother and her OS-ness is that she is actually brilliant and really well read. I'm choosing to chalk this up to a well deserved case of mild dementia due to a combination of 71 years, having to raise three of us, and having to deal with my dad every day, who is like having a 6'4" five year old sometimes.
A couple of years ago she bought my husband a book by Alan Alda. He stared at her pretty much like I did on Sunday and then said "What the h*** is the matter with you???"I can't decide if she's really trying to convert him or if she's trying to irritate him. Never gonna happen on the former, not really working on the latter either. He just laughs it off.
My husband can't handle it either. I can handle it from my kids, but if another kid throws up, I need to leave the room.You sound like my husband, Soarin. I thought of him when I went to pick Shaun up. He can't cope. If he'd had to pick the boy up, he'd have thrown up all over the nurse's office and the nurse would have been cleaning up after both of them.
LOL!! C'mon Wonderlanne - what's wrong with that? Cleeaarrrllyyy Obama is completely innocent in all of this. These are all people that weren't like that when He knew them.
Me too.Cool.That happens to be my long held belief. I do not believe that creation and evolution are mutually exclusive. I believe that God created a system that is not static, but is constantly "becoming."
Again, I'm so happy for you! Oh, and today was our second snow day in a row. Guess the outer roads aren't plowed for the busses, so they called it a snow day. DD and I worked on our quilt - it's going to be adorable.Just got in from hockey practice. The roads are HORRIBLE! That being said, its really sinking in.. WE MADE IT! Never missed a mortgage payment, never missed *ok, never 30 days late* with a bill, family fed, kept them in their activities... WOO OHOOOO! As to what my job actually is, the more I think about it the less I know. THe title has "my job is being paid with title one funds" written all over it - which means, it could be anything. I know the district just got another batch of money released to them. I'm just extremely happy! The school is in a worse area than where I was, but I can make a difference anywhere!
Prayers out to those who are sick and caring for the sick. I see FFM posted the flu. Hopefully this north wind will kick it away from our house!
Thank you to everyone who prayed and kept me sane!
I know - JB makes beautiful babies, quilts...she puts us all to shame. Where do you find the time to do all of this JB?
These are awesome and so easy to make. I love them - thanks for reminding me to make these (though I'll probably eat them all myself).Right before I go to bed, I really want to pass on another recipe --
Blestmom told me about this one -- and I'm probably going to make them for Christmas presents....

Good luck studentmom! I don't envy you at all.Hello, friends
Just stopping by to say, "hello". Hopefully, I will be able to post more after tomorrow. I have finals all day tomorrow and I have been pulling my hair out all week.
I would love to learn how to sew and make quilts. Sewing machines intimidate me for some reason, though, lol.
Sewing machines intimidate me too - that's why I'm taking a class. It's nice to have someone to help you out when you screw up.
What an honorable man. My heart breaks for him and the pilot.
Take care of yourself! Put your feet up and let everyone else take care of you. I wish I were near you so I could help you out a bit.
PRICELESS!!!! Those darn beavers...doing their natural thang....So yesterday I posted the story about out of control environmentalists wanting to tax cow flatulence. Well now In Austria some environmental activists reported illegal logging activities........Yeah.....it turned out to be beavers!!!

I'd be proud of my son too for standing up for his convictions despite peer pressure. You're raising a fine young man.
$1.32??? WOW - we are at $1.59!! I'm so happy about that, but $1.32 would have me doing cartwheels.
We went out car shopping today. I've narrowed it down to the Chrysler Aspen and the Dodge Caravan. The caravan has so much more space, but it will probably cost more than the Aspen considering all of the rebates the Aspen has on it.
Gas mileage isn't the best - it's about 18/14 with the Aspen compared to the Caravan which is about 20/25, so I have to consider that.
I hate making decisions like this. Gah!
On the other hand, the quilt my DD and I are making is absolutely adorable. I'm liking it!
Have you seen this? I got this in an email today and I checked it out on Snopes - it's true. It's about the Fluorescent light bulbs and how to dispose of them if they break. I'm surprised they were ever manufactured in the first place!! We had one break in January and had no idea we were putting our family at risk when we cleaned it up. I'm wondering if I should be stocking up on the incandescent ones for a while...
