Today is surgery day, he goes in at 8:00 am to have the stint removed and a new one put in, then they transfer him to another operating room to have the actual surgery done. If all goes well he will be home tomorrow, we won't be going to the hospital, as it is in New Orleans and we have Brandon. We felt it would be better all the way around if we kept him here and took him to school instead of keeping him in the hospital waiting room all day. He was pretty upset with his mom and dad for leaving him and not taking him with them, but it didn't take him long to snap out of it after they left. I had race cars going up and down the hall and dinosaurs in the bathtub last night,
, it's been a long time since I had to get a little one off to school.
Hope things went smoothly for your SIL!
I would love to see a photo! Does it still look like a barn?
You would know it had been a barn. I'm not sure you want to see a picture right now with all the cold, wet, white stuff on the ground.
I am short one brother today- he was throwing up all day yesterday and had a fever this morning. His dad is keeping him home so I " don't have to deal with him sick" Yeah, thanks!
So if he brought the sick kid and you got sick he'd still want you to take the kid while you were sick right?
Even stranger will be having time to run errands by myself while Colby is at school 3 days each week
DH will get a taste of what it will be like when Emma is in school all day next year (which reminds me I think we still need to do that paperwork....) when I take her to WDW in May. He'll be alone from 8:30 when Joe & Emma get on the bus til 2:50 when Lizzy gets off the bus.
The school called me this morning. Apparently they changed their lunch menu and didn't let anyone know what was going on. (Well, at least us!
)
Leighanna was in the office crying
. She is a picky eater and doesn't like everything that is offered. So I had to drive back into school, and drop off her lunch.
I have to go back to the school again this afternoon to drop off cupcakes for her birthday. She was to bring them last Friday, but school was cancelled so I have to do it today.
I don't think I will get much accomplished today!
Poor Leighanna. I'm sure Emma will have to pack her lunch next year as she is the pickiest eater ever. Joe on the other hand LOVES the school lunch. He was out sick a while ago (with a fever or something-still had a good appetite) and he wanted my DH to serve him what was on the school menu.
He's my good eater!
Belated Birthday wishes for Leighanna. I'm afraid I forgot when I lost my big multiquote. Her party looked like lots of fun!!!!!
Our schools have switched to one day per month for birthday celebrations and absolutely no homemade items ever.
Our school offers a choice of 2 different entrees. Then everyday they also have PBJ Uncrustables if a child doesn't like either entrees. It's a good thing they have them too because they often switch up the menus.
No PBJ's at our schools with all the peanut alergies. All the kids snacks (eaten in the classrooms) have to be peanut free and they prefer prepackaged items. If it isn't individually packaged you're suposed to send in the ingredient list. The kids leave their backpacks in the hall until the nurse can inspect their bags.
I am off Wed-Fri this week.
Are the bosses going away? You should have gone to WDW!
I have to say that the adults were poorly behaved.
My girlfriend and her husband said that I am a nut for going through all that trouble. They said that I would drive them crazy if we were to have traveled together.
LOVE all your pictures!!! Your Sully picture was great!!!
I too have witnessed that behavior at HSM. Thankfully when I was alone. It would have been downright scary if I had the kids with me.
You can NOT ever travel with them!!!!!
What do you guys think of this July 4th design?
It will go on a white t-shirt. This is the design that I'm thinking of using for the 11 of us for the FW parade and our Fireworks cruise. I considered adding a navy background as this will be hard to cut out, I'm undecided at this point.
NICE!!! I too would just use a transfer for light shirts. I've had good luck with them. And like Elizabeth said I think I would like it without Mickey too.
It was getting chilly again and we wanted to get warm.
We got 2 Tonosama combos and split them between the 4 of us.
Shh, dont the
DDP plan police that we used most of our CS credits as adult credits and just spilt the meals.
I can not believe how cold it was for you when Joe & I were there right before you and it was in the 80's during the day and 60's at night. When I take Emma for her 7th birthday it will be that week. But that is the thing about January-you just never know. When we were there for Joe's 3rd birthday we had temps in the 30's.
How was the Tonosama? It looks good. I won't tell if you don't.
I think there will be a few adult meals in May.
Hi, everyone! It's tough to catch up after a long weekend!
I had a great time at the Storytelling Conference. There were some fabulous workshops, and 2 great keynote tellers. We got to listen to Donald Daviss (fabulous), and David Novak (also fabulous!). I also had a chance to listen to a storyteller from the Czech Republic. It was fascinating to hear some Czech folk tales!
I now have a full blown cold, and I'm hating it!!! Taking the meds makes me feel all spacy, and out of it! Ick!!!! Oh well. If it keeps me from coughing and sneezing, I'll take it.
Sounds like a great weekend!
Good luck with your cold! I know exactly what you mean about the cold meds. You can't breath without them but can't think with them.
How cute! I'm sure Matty had a great time!!!
DS claims he has no homework, except to read a book of his choice for 20 minutes and write a short summary. He forgot to turn in his summaries last week and he had a "0" when I checked his grades. He said he turned it in today. He has another "0" for annotations on a story. He said they weren't finished, but she never asked for them. Then he said he turned them last week. Then he said he asked her about them but she didn't answer him. Then he said they aren't finished, he can't finish them without the book, and she won't take them now because it is too late so he won't bother to finish!
He drives me absolutely mad!
Apparently the Science teacher never found that paper he said he turned in while the substitute was there, so he really needs to re-do that.
I also need to e-mail his social studies teacher because I think there is more to this project due next week than he has shared with me. The thing that bothers me about that one is that she didn't give them a paper outlining the requirements of the assignment, so I have to take his word for it. Obviously he is having trouble keeping his stories straight these days, so I need to hear from the teacher EXACTLY what this project entails.
Good luck!!!!
I can see this happening with Lizzy too. She is so scatter brained for a smart kid. DH keeps telling me she's the artist.
and this 
about our name choice:
