DDA Chapter 12

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

So we watched Nancy Drew tonight. It was my first Red Box purchase. I can see myself using that a lot. The kids liked it.

Alyssa had a cold. She has been getting up in the middle of the night complaining about her throat hurting. Today it really developed into a full blown cold. Stuffy nose, watery eyes, sneezing. I gave her some sudafed and rubbed some Vicks on her. I hope she can kick before Monday rolls around.

Tomorrow is Nicholas' first football game. The team will all gather at a local shopping center and then caravan the 45 minute drive to the school he will play at. He is excited yet nervous.

I noticed we have a Red Box at the grocery store. I pointed it out to DS and told him all the girls on my thread were talking about it. He made a face at me.
I hope Alyssa feels better soon!
Momboss has some sort of sinus thing. She came home from work early today so she could take a nap. We were supposed to go to dinner tomorrow but we decided with the hurricane AND Momboss not feeling well that we will go next weekend.
I hope Nicholas has a great game tomorrow!

No telling. She said other things in her e-mail. Told me a little about her classes, that she is learning about different things in anatomy...
Beth, maybe that's it! Maybe the stuff she is learning in anatomy is forcing her into a new understanding of Mom's condition. That's my Shazam! moment of the day.
She also said she thinks I would like her Humanities teacher.
Maybe Mom went to bed early and Diva was afraid mom felt sick. Perhaps Diva was just feeling a little sad and alone and decided to e-mail. Not sure.

Maybe she is reaching out to you, Elizabeth. I bet she is scared. I know you are.

It really sounds like my DDA friends need a great big

She usually prefers Ms. Selfish, which is why it really freaked me out that she e-mailed me. She would ordinarily only come to me if there was something REALLY wrong that required adult intervention. Ms. Selfish does not qualify as an adult.
I am happy to chat with her, whatever her motivation is.

Mom asked me if I went to get my Depo shot. I had already forgotten that I forgot my original appointment. I told her I did go, after nearly forgetting to go pick up the med from the pharmacy. I swear, my brain...
So then I told her about the woman hitting my car, and me overdrawing the checking account and all that crap. She asked me if I am under a lot of stress. I said "Well, my mom has breast cancer, you know."
YES, I am under stress. I worry about her ALL the time. She doesn't seem to be fully aware of how stressful it is for me.
She likes to flit along like it's not really a big deal. She actually said she thinks it would have been easier to leave the cancer where it was! Easier for HER, maybe.

Tammi - Please tell Nicholas I said to "GO GET 'EM, TIGER!"

and, by the way, Tammi... Kybecca has a few new food items on their wine bar menu as well as LOTS more wines and beers!

That place is dangerous for me. I polished of that entire bottle of wine by myself at the party the other day. It was so hot and that wine was very refreshing, as long as it was ice cold.

I was thinking about our October day. What are they going to do when the weather turns cooler? Will they have heat out there like they have the misters? I can't wait to try the new foods.

Thanks, I will! BTW, just for future reference, he's a Colt. We have to drive to Colonial Beach tomorrow. The other away games are in Westmoreland and Caroline.

Nothing I can say or do is going to make it any easier for you so .

They already have the heaters installed in the "rafters" of the awning!

The three of us drank 2 bottles of a very nice sparkling Shiraz tonight over the span of 3 hours.

We also did our fair share of eating!

You are making me hungry. And thirsty.

Sorry... it won't be long before we go again!

So I really screwed up tonight. Making spagetti and was checking the noodles - the spoon jumped out of the pan splashing water all over the top of my left hand. I don't think I've ever hurt this bad before from a burn before.

owie!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

I am going to try to go to bed. I was up early and did 5 loads of laundry before I went in to teach this afternoon. I want to get an early start in the morning and get some more things packed!

Good night, friends!

we are sitting here while Ike passes over head. Here at the house we have only had wind. It lightly rained for a few minutes earlier. Right now it is pretty windy and is suppose to get worse. I am trying to stay calm so Watkins has a pleasant hurricane(even though this is my first one too) experience. Pretty much Galveston is flooded which means my friends house is flooded. If you could send prays for all of Galveston especially Sarah Hall and her family. She seemed pretty shook up earlier. I am just hoping we don't loose power because I use a breathing machine at night and need electricity. Dad did get a generator I just don't want him to have to get up in the middle of the night to start it. ill give a report later on.

I've been reading a TR by someone who took a summer trip out West very similar to ours. It makes me want to write TRs for that trip and our Disney trip so that we have them. I'm sure that the memories are already fading. Maybe I'll put that on Monday's to-do list to at least get a start.

yes please!!!
