I hope Molly is still feeling okay. PD for testing to see why she's always congested.
I hope Hunter has a great time and that Nick doesn't have more stomach issues. Good luck on the painting!
Elizabeth -- it sounds like you didn't have to stay as long at the band concert as you feared. I hope the tooth is okay and your mouth isn't sore today. You'll be happy to know that my family will definitely be taking more than one bag on our trip in a couple of weeks, and we might be taking almost as much as Kristine. DC will be so muggy that we'll have to take a couple of outfits a day, though I don't have a problem with doing wash on vacation. Want to come pack for me since you're still off next week?
Today is the last day of school. Jake's awards ceremony is this morning, and Randy is going to it. Andrew's is this afternoon, and I'll go. We have a few errands to run, then both boys have 7:30 baseball games tonight. I'll work 1/2 day tomorrow, take the kids to swimming lessons, then we'll finish packing and head to Waco for Andrew's baseball tournament this weekend. He'll play three games on Saturday -- 9, 2:15 and 7:30, though the last game is always running behind. I'm so not looking forward to this, but I know he'll have a great time so I need to stop whining.
Have a good day everyone!
I think you could. The thing that is throwing me is that I am used to seeing your hair curly. If your perm has grown out then you could do that haircut with no problem!
Robyn - Have fun today! Sounds like lots of CAKE in your future. Mmmm. Cake! I hope you guys can get a diagnosis for Molly soon!

Amy, are you posting from Robyn's?
Thanks for checking in! Have a great time at field day and camping! I hope the sleep study provides some answers for Molly's congestion. When is it scheduled?
's My girlfriend had it with her 1st pregnancy and I saw how absolutely miserable it is. 
No, spaghetti sauce was my specialty yesterday, remember? I used 12 cans of tomato paste!
Actually, cake and cupcakes are probably on the agenda this weekend though, since today is my MIL's birthday and we have a neighborhood picnic on Sunday evening.
Good morning DDA!Hope it's a good day for you all!

Who knows. And there are 3 "pods" of 6th graders so maybe some teachers gave out more awards than others. He got an "Award of Merit" which seems to be the default award for kids who aren't getting anything else.
Yes! Really, I was a bit confused about Crush's movement in general. It seems he only had one little thing to control it (without trying to give too much away) and his movements are so unique, and extensive with each show!
Then I can work in the camper a bit. I can't think of a better way to remove the painting anxiety then to work on trip preparations
Marci - Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I am available for packing. Maybe next time!
DS's awards assembly was interesting. Just like in elementary, there are kids who get 8 or 10 things, and kids who get one. DS got 2, and he was REALLY disappointed. The thing that boggles me is that tons of kids were recognized for "outstanding" performance in certain subjects. DS didn't get any awards for performance in a subject, yet he got his induction certificate for NJHS. You can't get into the honor society unless you have outstanding academic performance! It is based on GPA! So I can understand why he was disappointed. Kids who weren't getting academic awards were getting citizenship awards. I don't want him to be a sore loser, but I can see why he expected more than 2 awards. His language arts grade has never been below a 95%, and right now it is a 104%. I guess you have to have a 100% every marking period all year to be outstanding?
He was also upset that he wasn't announced as having a perfect score on the TAKS reading test. He was recognized for outstanding performance in both reading and math TAKS. Those results will come to us in the mail at some point far in the future so I don't know if he really had a perfect score or not.
I told him I am very proud of him. He had "the look" he gets when he is really disappointed in something, so I fully expect him to be moody and surly when he comes home.
I'm really sorry about the awards. I've come to realize that every school/teacher has their "pets" even little ole' Shelton. Every child gets one award in something, even if it's handwriting. (remember, in the youngest grades the teachers have to be very creative, as these kids have major learning differences.) Then, they have the possibility of getting Perfect Attendance, Artist of the Month, Citizenship etc. Jake was lucky enough to get all of them, and his individual award in his class was for Creative Writing. I'm thinking that's the PC way to give a kid an award who talks a lot, is outgoing and has a vivid imagination. Seriously, he's had a great teacher the last two years. I'm hoping that the one he has for the next two years likes him as much.
BTW Deb, they went out today around 10:30am with DHL via two day. Should have them by Monday.
I wonder if they've thought about packing?
You should have given her Chanon's number.Just got in from work. It was relatively quiet except for the lady who bought 10 park tickets for $2,000!!

Day is going better. It's almost over. I'm working on where we should eat at while at Universal. There are some great places over in CityWalk to eat at! Nascar Grille, Bob Marley, Pat O'Brians, Latin Quarter...and they also have a new "club" called Rising Star - it's a karaoke bar where you can sing with a live band! That sounds like a blast (not to sing, to watch!) So planning has put me in a better mood. Day is almost over, day is almost over! And then Lost is tonight!
