Good Morning. We all survived the night 
I'm taking small victories these days.
Need to get a few things done before Hunter's friends arrive for his birthday party.
The pedicatric nurse called this morning to check on Hunter. We need to keep an eye out for fever or worsening pain. Hmm wouldn't that have been nice to mention I don't know maybe when we were there yesterday?

Deb - Glad you made it through the night! 
Sometimes small victories are the biggest help. Hope Hunter was able to enjoy his party today and continues to feel better. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you always so lean here anytime and every time!
Elin - Looks lovely! I hope you're having an awesome and relaxing time.
The girls and I spent yesterday afternoon at the zoo and had a marvelous time. The weather was gorgeous and we got to see so many playful animals, including our zoo's 7mo rhino and 3mo elephant. Deva loved it too! So nice this time since the last time she was a little afraid of those that were even halfway close to us.
Today we all went to the pumpkin patch - Mom, dad, all girls and all kids. The kids all had a good time. Unfortunately the dust and hay everywhere aggravated my cold and cough so much lack of voice is not improving at all.

We survived Hunter's parties today. It actually went well other then him just not feeling well. of course the sink broke tonight so that was another thing to deal with.
Tomorrow is a new day, a new week, a new outlook

Deb - Words can't begin to express what I'm feeling for you, right now! I'm so sorry that all this is happening to you all at once. I'm relieved that Chris's hand is going to be ok, but what a scary thing to have happen. I'm glad that you feel that Nick's therapist will be helpful, and I think you did the right thing in blocking the number and de-friending the girls who want him to be their therapist. A quick message to their parents might be in order, so they can watch for depression in their girls. Hunter's recovery amazes me! I'm sorry about the ear infections, though. My kids have such high pain thresholds, that they never tell me they hurt until the drums have burst. I wish that there was something I could do about your anxiety. The best thing I can say is it's time to throw the diet out the window and enjoy some comfort food! Ice cream, chocolate, gooey, cheesy food, etc. Whatever will make you feel better.
Bernadette - Stay on top of that teacher!!!! Hold her accountable by printing out her statement, and taking that to the team meeting. Let her explain why what she has printed for parents to see is not happening in her classroom. It angers me when teachers go out of their way to fail students. I taught with a woman who purposely wrote her final exam on Julius Caesar with questions so convoluted that only a college professor could understand them. When she asked me what I thought, I told her that no high school junior would be able to answer those questions, and her response was, "good. I'll fail them all!" She was so happy about that!
Lindsey - It's nice to see you posting. How are things going? How's Austin? I bet he's grown so much!
Anne Marie - Good luck with the puppy. Sometimes you just have to realize that the abuse was too extensive to overcome. Your kids have to come first. So, if the dog is biting, and training isn't working, then it's time to give her back to the shelter.
Things here are just fine. Yesterday was 3 years from my mom's passing. We decided to honor her by having a family fun day, and I think she would have been pleased! It sure made me less blue to see my kids enjoying themselves.

Deb-
so sorry for all you're going through! Glad to hear Chris doesn't need surgery. Hope Hunter continues to improve! Sorry he wasn't 100% for his birthday. Still thinking of Nick too.
Vicki/Terry-I'm sure you'll love the GF!
Sounds like quite a few of us will be there for marathon weekend. I'll be at Pop 1/4 to 1/9.
Debbie-Hope you're feeling better for your trip! I don't what we'll be doing what days. I'll be at BWI 11/10 to 11/15-would love to see you.
Glynis-what a nice way to honor your Mom.
Anne Marie-Good luck with Minnie! My SIL gets her dog I think the weekend after next. I think the dog has been in a foster home from birth so I hope she's OK.
The meething with Lizzy's teachers is this Wednesday-I thought it was last week but it is this week. I am reluctant to push this woman too much as I'm sure she'll just take it out more on Lizzy. Other Mom's have told me if you go in nice her behavior towards the kids improves. I think we'll try that way first. Lizzy will have her not matter what so I don't want to make her mad. Then Joe & Emma will likely have her too as she's too young to retire.
I was hoping Lizzy's glasses would be in by now. We ordered them the same day and mine came in Thursday. Hopefully hers will come soon.
Work still stinks! Last week they let 2 more people go. One was there 15 years. She's in her mid 50s and has MS. She will find it very difficult to find a new job. This wasn't a layoff. They will hire someone new. There is a new VP in that department and she wants her own people. It is just so very sad what is going on.
Budget review with the president is Tuesday. Still SO much to do before the board of directors meeting on 11/11. I'll be mroe than ready for my trip-just not sure when I'm going to pack.
And who told the kids they could grow so much? I was sure Emma's vet costume from last year would still fit but the pants are way too short and I thought I made them a bit too big last year.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I wish I could say that everything has turned around, but I'm hoping that we've made a few small steps in that direction.
Nick got his driver's license today. He got 100%. I'm so proud of him. Of course that brings a new level of stress, but I'm sure that will ease up over time. He'll be driving himself to school in the morning from now on. He drove home today then drove back to pick up Chris at work. I'll admit that my stomach was in knots, but everything was fine. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to install family locator on Nick and my phones, but it was fruitless. Apparently it does not work with the original Droid, yet no where on the website did it say that. It did say that it couldn't be the locatee phone, but could be the locator phone. I've been very unimpressed with the Droid. Far too many issues over the last year and a half.
Hunter is still having ear pain. I was lucky enough to get him an appointment with ENT tomorrow so maybe we'll get some questions answered then. Chris is in a bit less pain each day. he worked today and was all proud of himself to come home with no dirt on his bandages
Colby cried himself to sleep last night as apparently he hates school now
I'm hoping he just wanted some extra attention as things seem better today.

Sending prayers and pixie dust to all of you. I hope you are all doing well and if not I hope things improve quickly.
My life has been pretty crazy.
Today would have been my Grandpa's 91st birthday.
My Uncle was supposed to have a hip replacement in early November, his surgeon ended up having emergency surgery and so his surgery needed to be rescheduled until January. My Uncle is in constant pain so we are hoping that he can find another surgeon who will do it earlier.
My cousin's husband from Ecuador tried to get a Visa to come to the United States in December but his application was denied. He was also denied a Visa prior to when they got married. We are all hoping the third time is the charm. I hope to visit Ecuador sometime soon.
My Mom is having a colonoscopy on Friday.
My job is super stressful. They got rid of some people at the beginning of the month and are changing and reorganizing things. Well the changing never ends. I now have 4 new units in addition to the others I was serving. Plus I have some reoccurring issues with some volunteers that don't seem to go away.
I am struggling with training for the half as I either have meetings, or it is basically dark when I leave in the morning for work and dark by the time I get home. I need to work on planning that trip, but need my time off approved. I also need my time off approved for early December. I have time I need to use before the end of the year or I lose it.
I wish I could kidnap all of you and we could run away to the beach or a cruise or something.

Good morning! I'm with Becky and Elin! I need a tropical location quickly!!! It's only going to warm up to 48 degrees today, and our furnace is out! We should be getting a new one, but not until Friday. So, the kids and I are COLD!!! I've got a fire going in our new stove, but it doesn't heat up every room.
Good morning,
Glynis,
Hope Friday comes fast for you!
Not too much to report here. The kids are doing well in school, however my son is not loving "group" projects. He was put on a team where the other kids let him do the work & they took the credit. Not fun! Sophie is home with a 102 fever so she is missing a class trip today & was in tears this morning because of it. Our doggie is coming along better. She is God's way of teaching me to be patient. She LOVES the kids & we have somewhat got the snipping under control.
