Hey everyone..
I only have a minute before I need to run and mow the lawn. Hope all of you are doing well.
I thought I would share my Absentee Excuse Letter for my kids school:
September 28, 2007
To Whom It May Concern:
Please excuse my son, Nico from school October 1st-5th. We are embarking on a religious pilgrimage to the south. We believe in Mickey Mouse!!
Thank you.

beats the heck outta the one i send in every year:
"...he will be participating in educational opportunities both at Epcot (technology, geography, language) and Animal Kingdom (biology, science)..."
computer was restored, hope i saved a 'hard copy' of that bad boy
such a waste of time imo, just another case of just the rules ma'am.
bad vibes at my home, confirmation issues for youngest DS.
His sponsor (DS #2) procrastinated for over a year & didn't follow thru on meeting w/priest "officially" to sign the diocese's form, despite untold nagging from me.
Priest called me @ 9 am monday, going out of town all week, needed a firm commitment within the hour from someone/anyone on Friday. Couldn't track down #2 DS.
Push came to shove & I had to go to #1 DS son, who promptly pointed at DIL.

#2's feelings are hurt (he despises her for very valid reasons) feels i picked her over him. Yes, he hates me.
Did tell him he could still do the duty if he appears on Friday, no response & high-tailed it off to dear old dad's. At least DILs being a good sport & waiting for him to commit.
This irresponsible crap is standard MO @ his dad's house; always blame somebody else for your mis-steps...not sure if he's ever going to get "it"?
sure is hard to teach life lessons when you are continually undermined.
