's and Please try not to worry so much, which I know is easier said than done. and 'sWe have a collection in September that goes for the teacher's holiday & end of year gift. They end up with a nice amount for a Visa gift card. If the teacher was very good I am sure a Thank you note would make them smile.
Well I am sure it is not the former!!!
I do think people are cutting back due to the economy.She's so sweet to her mamma!!It also must mean that your wrist is feeling somewhat better!
Kristin and her friend and I had a similar conversation yesterday at breakfast. Kristin looked at me and said, "Mama... I am worried about you driving back to Fredericksburg alone." When I asked why in the heck she should be worried she said, "You were singing along with the music on the way down and you don't know the words. The only time you do that is when you are tired... and you never shut up the whole way down here either; a sure sign you are tired."She made me promise to cal her when I got home.
Same here, we have 6 flags in NJ which you could not pay me to go to.
There is also a local amusement park nearby (kids have their birthday parties there) but we do not go there either unless its for a party. Disney does spoil us for anything else. Even with local fireworks shows..we are all like "these are lame, we will wait to see the real fireworks at Disney".
I am so sorry, thats terrible.I just received a very sad phone call from one of Garrett's friends. Remember the boy who broke our front window last year? His father died this morning of a heart attack. I feel so sad for Jacob
Awesome!!!Theresa - I meant to tell you that the National Federation of Music Clubs is headed your direction this August. Our Fall Session will be held in Denver at the Renaissance Hotel from August 5-10. Unfortunately I won't be attending since I will be in Atlanta a portion of that week for teacher training for a new Yamaha course.
The BIG news is that the 2009 Convention will be held in .....................................................................................
ORLANDO! June 1-9 are the tentative dates, and I have to look up the hotel that will be the location. So, I do believe that I will be in Orlando next summer.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
So anyway, we will keep the ac on & put their room back together.
talk to you later!!!
She's so sweet to her mamma!!
(this will make sense after you have read my post above...)

Sounds like my house. Bob will leave glasses NEXT to the sink. Laundry get's done, but then tossed into a basket - not folded. He doesn't cook. AT ALL. (I think that's my biggest pet peeve - he'd rather go to Mc'D's than attempt to cook a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.) Though if you guys were in Ohio and didn't mow your grass...you might be in trouble!

As soon as possible! I loved every minute of it!Jen - So when are you going back to Alaska?
I dont have kids, but it would drive me nuts--I was always reminded to say thank you--it drives me nuts with some fo the kids in my class that have seemed to forgotten manners
I live less than a half hour from that 6 flags--and dont know the last time i have been there..i know ill be there in august, but thats because a friend is coming to town and he wants to goSame here, we have 6 flags in NJ which you could not pay me to go to.
!
Sorry Elin..It would drive me nuts too...If mom is out of town, i am the ONLY one that does stuff and i hate it!
DH did scrub our bathtub last weekend, but he didn't clean anything else in the bathroom! He changes the cat box and the water in the fish bowl, but I have to nag him to do the fish bowl. 
Good morning.
I was having an awful dream when my alarm went off. We had missed our flights to Florida! Of course, been there done that.

RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY...
The only reason we got the passes yesterday is the girls got the front rooms presentable...not clean to my standard but dad's....I am holding out hope that it will be clean to my standards by the end of the week
RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY... RANT ADVISORY...Our lawn needs to be mowed. Grocery shopping needs to be done. Laundry is waiting in piles. The kitchen and bathrooms need to be cleaned.
I have not been here for the past 4 days, therefore nothing got done. My family did nothing (including cooking anything to eat) while I was at the Convention. I am literally the only one in the family who sees a need to do these things it seems. Living in a pigsty apparently does not bother them. Having the outside of the house look like misfits live here doesn't concern them.
My first day of summer vacation I took the time to take Kristin shopping for things she needed and on my day off yesterday I offered to drive her part way to Richmond to meet her friend so that she would not spend so much money on gas. I figured my DD had done some things before she left, but... no. The dishwasher is still full of the clean dishes that I loaded into it last weekend! And the dirty dishes are piled up on the counter and the stovetop. Bob is a beer drinker and the cans are stacked on the counter BESIDE THE TRASH CAN! It is an empty trash can because I took the trash out yesterday morning before I left for Richmond.
I am the only one who has done the lawn this entire season so far. I had the mowers repaired and have been the one doing the mowing. I actually paid our next door neighbor to do it one week because I was too busy to get it done. I said something to Bob last night about the fact that the lawn looked horrible and his response was that he might get it done today but he figured it would be too hot. We have a riding lawn mower, for goodness' sake!
I wonder how long I can ignore the mess and get some relaxation in? I went to the movies last night to escape for a while, but it isn't going to last long, I fear.
One of my students is giving her Senior Recital this afternoon so I can get out of the house once again without blowing my top. I want them both here when I do...
I so feel your pain on this one. Things are better now than they have been in the past. The most upset I have ever gotten with them about this is when my mother was dying. I naturally spent the week with her, and after she passed I came home to a total disaster, so nasty that the dirty dishes had insects in them! You can imagine how this upset me on top of all that I was already going through. DH has improved greatly over the past couple of years, I think it may have something to do with all my health problems. I did just mow the yard this morning though, but since he is working seven days this week he is forgiven. DD will clean the kitchen for me quite often, but she never seems to get it quite right, I don't fuss though, I would rather finish up what she left than do the whole thing.Anne Marie - Good luck finishing up the girls' room!
Since DH got home so early we decided to go to Dunkin' Donuts. It was calling to me.
Robyn - I hope Eric is able to make some progress on the deck!
One of the ladies on the breast cancer thread says that all the worry in the world will not change the outcome. Of course she is right. I can worry myself into a knot and the outcome of Mom's surgery will still be the same as if I hadn't worried a bit. I guess I just hate the thought of going into a situation and saying "Oh, I never thought that might happen." For some reason I think I will be better equipped to deal with things if I have already anticipated every possible scenario, starting with the most catastrophic.
