Hi everyone! I'm home, hopefully to stay for awhile.

How are Bernadette and Anne Marie faring with Fay? Anyone heard from them?

Can someone give me a recap of anything important that I missed please?

Hope you all are doing well.

Is it 5 yet???

I've gotten 4 calls in less than a half hour to say when the Optimist Peaches would be delivered and about a dozen calls telling me I should be calling them (who I don't know from Adam) telling them when they can pick up their peaches. I asked one lady a couple of questions to find out how well she knew the building so that I could tell her how to pick up her peaches. She then proceeded to interrupt me as I am trying the best way to do so...she said I just want to know where to pick up the peaches. I said "I was trying to tell you!"

You all know my week hasn't been the best....I've been cleaning up messes left by others, today has been no exception. One of those 4 calls was from a gentleman who has his hearing aids turned off all of the time (even driving!! ) and he kept talking even though I thanked him and said I knew when the peaches were coming. He just now cornered me about something to do with Sunday. I got impatient and said NOBODY HAS BEEN HERE FOR THAT TO BE RESOLVED.

The reason I got impatient?? I am trying to get back to the office to call Roto Rooter....our ONE truly handicapped accesible bathroom is backed up and I am the only one in the office (again) to be here to deal with it. Kind of symbolic of my week.

I feel a smidge better!!

Well, it looks like my charges are finally starting school on Monday. Only 2 weeks late, but hey, whatever. They could probably use some good thoughts though. After we toured the school BigSis says, "I thought there were no buses." I confirmed that they did have buses there and she says, "But I thought you said private schools didn't have buses." Umm, uh oh. MomBoss has never bothered to tell the girls that they are going to a different school than they think they are. They think they're going to a private, Christian school and they are going to a public school (though MomBoss intends to move them to the private school later in the sememster). In the course of the conversation I told BigSis the name of the school and answered her question that it wasn't a private school. I just couldn't see letting a 5th grader go to a new school, two weeks into the year, not knowing the name of her school or that it wasn't Christian. I can just see the issue it might cause when she calls the school by the wrong name and then is confused. Add to that, the girls won't have the required uniforms for the first few days, apparently, and I'm concerned with how smoothly the transition is going to be. Cinderella has already been acting out like crazy today due to what I'm sure is the stress and confusion. It was only yesterday afternoon that MomBoss told them they would start school on Monday.

Terra, on the other hand, is ecstatic that it's time for them to go to school. So at least someone is happy.

those poor girls

I think I got my gable box problem fixed! There's a place called the Flower Factory that has 9x5x5 kraft gable boxes in stock. Even though I don't like the brown paper bag look, I can deal with it. They have 26 boxes and at 65 cents a pop, I'm happy! It may be a 40 minute drive to get to the Flower Factory, but that's cheaper than $14 in shipping. On the way home we'll stop at Staples and I'll pick up some Avery Labels that are 4x6. I'll just make my own labels (thanks to some ideas from DigitalScrapbookingPlace.com and Photoshop!) and buy some fall ribbon (which is on clearance already at Joanne's!) and cover up most of the kraft brown color anyways! WHOO HOO!

awesome can't wait to see pics

sorry I haven't stopped by...I haven't been in the best of moods....actually I am in a down right cranky mood...

crankiness: Bill's oldest son & wife may just end up putting me over the edge. there has been a flurry of emails going back and forth...unfortunately it has caused some real hurt feelings for Bill.....and with my personality, I have no problems washing my hands of them...which may or may not be the right thing to do...but that's how I feel.

stress: we have a consultation on the 28th set up with a gastroenterologist ...with a colonoscopy scheduled shortly after that.

we FINALLY heard back from Bill's doctor...but only after I had to call and raise a big stink...(long story...but this has been very mismanaged) so we definitely have to go to a cardiologist....and it seems you just don't waltz right in there. So it is set up for the 12th....I will go now with his recommendations and take the regular doctor out of the equation. I am more confident with this practice as well as the hospital. Unfortunately Bill's long term relationship doctor is affiliated with a rat trap.

so more or less in limbo I guess....

...now at this point is where I would go "who's this?"

Tammi - Welcome home!

We just had to drive back over to work. Momboss called to tell me DS left his retainers over there. I am going to an expo thing tomorrow with a bunch of the nannies so it was better to go pick up the retainers tonight.

One of these days I will unpack the rest of the luggage and get the pins in the mail to those of you who requested them. One of these days!

 

[tinker1bell]

That is much better, Terry!

I have to say, every time you abbreviate your name I wonder why you are talking about me. All my students and their parents call me Mrs. H! Bob says they will have to put that in my obituary or no one will know I died.

Our kids friends all call Hal and I --Mr & Mrs H.!!!

That is too funny

welcome home Tammi

Tia I just called and they photoshoot CM told me that the price increase did not go into effect until the 24th. So any shoots that are booked after that will be the new price. So when I call back tomorrow to book our shoot I will get the $25 price for the shoot on the 23rd of Sept.

Do ya think that him and Bones will get together this season?

That currently is my favorite show. It is the one show that I can't miss an episode. I'm not sure I want to see them actually get together. The two main chracters getting together has been the death of too many of my favorite shows over the years starting with Moonlighting many years ago.

Kristine - I'm sorry about all the stress going on in your life. Here's some to get you through until you get some answers from all the docs.

So we had our first football game of the season.....and a half hour delay due to lightning. They should have called the game then.....we were ahead 20 to zip...when I left where I could hear we had just made it 47 or 53 to zip and it wasn't out of the the 3rd yet.

The band is already much farther in knowing their music and drill than last year...it sounds great. Tomorrow is a an early call (6:00 am) so I'll "see" you all Saturday night or Sunday!!
