For one thing mom is always yelling if you need food just come over and take whatever you need. And when I didn't do that with the bacon just last week, woo.
Today we stopped by a local farmer market and she just had to buy my tomato and a head of lettuce.
These are but a few things. The biggest being she didn't buy a house for such a long time, because if something happened to her, Dawn would get the house and she didn't have one for me.John told her I didn't need a house because we bought one together.
I think she feels I am being slighted, because Dawn still lives at home. But Dawn is the one taking care of her the most and I am married after all.
I never complain, but most times just wont let her buy things. She is after all on a fixed income and John makes good money for the area and what he does. But sometimes I will give in, like today.
She actually thinks that the next Disney trip she is paying, over my dead body.
The test scores are actually coming UP, which is why it boggles my mind that they have decided to completely ease up on EVERYTHING in the classroom now!Boneheads. We just don't have the money for private school. I called Winston last year and almost fell over when she told me how much it would cost. Which is a shame, because I drive right by there on my way to work. So we'll see if we can't manage to squeeze some sort of education out if DISD.
Mom is OK, thanks. She has her final A/C infusion this week, then she will start Taxol.
Diva started back on August 12, but Mom hasn't said much about it. She did say Diva dropped out of color guard and switched to debate. Diva still doesn't have a job and I am about 99% certain that Mom has no plans of making her get a job. That INFURIATES me, because Mom can't afford that stupid car she bought for Diva, and if Diva isn't working she doesn't really need her own car!Mom just tells me she will handle it.
Great.
Heidi, take the small things and tell her how much you love them. Then treat her like the royalty she is.
When it comes to the big things, you can put your foot down and tell her no.
Our family trips to WDW are paid for by Bob and me. They are our gift to the girls. Each of them will in turn pick up the tab for dinner or the GF Tea.
As I get older I see the value in giving now and watching them enjoy the gift rather than holding onto the money for them to spend when I am not here. Not trying to be morbid, just saying it is one of the reasons we give somewhat extravagantly to children who could afford to do many of these things on their own.

I think Mugglenet.com thinks that it was because of the writers/directors strike earlier this year...Apparently it put the whole post production behind schedule (yet they had NO PROBLEM getting the trailer done and STILL on
Just so long as the movie is still on. I'll miss seeing it in the fall though - June is too weird. I'm used to getting the book in June and the movie in Nov.
Oh well!
His friend from last year is in 6 of his classes, and the boy who hosted the pool party last week is in 4 of his classes. His ex-friend is in a few classes (he couldn't remember how many), but Thug isn't in any of the same classes so maybe ex-friend will behave. His other really good friend isn't in any of the same classes, but they have the same lunch. I hope it's going to be a good year!!DS just called and his day was good!
He has all pre-AP classes except for Reading, which I am assuming has no pre-AP level OR they just couldn't get him in a pre-AP class with the rest of his schedule. He is in advanced band. He has 7 different teachers this year because his language arts and reading teachers are different people (last year it was the same lady). PE is 3rd period so that should be fairly disasterous.
Happy Birthday Janet!
Happy Birthday Lindsay!
