[rlovew]

Well my day is a little off- I am off to the store for medicine for DH- he woke up with a heavy cold. That takes at least an hour out of the day plus now I will do Bible study this evening.

Rebecca

 

[PrincessNancy96]

She is @ school and safe!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Glad to know that!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Me too!!
I called my mom and dad... they are in Knoxville on their way back from Disney...so they talked to me until she got to school... Dad was laughing at me.. he said, I remember how worried I was your first day of school.. we didn't have cell phones and I called the school to make sure you were there!!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Wow, what a sight that must have been. Did you take evidence, uhm, I mean photos?

DIT- did you take pics of the leg shaving?? could make a funny page!

I totally forgot about taking photos. But, he locked himself in his bathroom so I'm sure he wouldn't let me take photos. But, I still have a chance. He ran out of Nair doing the one leg. (he's really hairy and needed to do Nair before the razor) So, he's actually only got one leg shaved because I can get him more Nair. I can take a kind of "before and after" picture if he'll let me!

Well my day is a little off- I am off to the store for medicine for DH- he woke up with a heavy cold. That takes at least an hour out of the day plus now I will do Bible study this evening.

Rebecca

I hope your DH gets to feeling better soon. Good luck on the change in your plans.

She is school and safe!!!

on PJ making it to school safely. Every morning I anxiously await that text from DS letting me know he's there. He also has to text me anytime he drives somewhere (before he leaves to let me know where he's going and when he gets there so I know he's safe). I so love cell phones!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

DIT, that is our rule too!
she is driving from the HS to the MS... she must text me before she leaves the HS..and than when she gets to the MS as I have her pass in for the game anyway! LOL
She thinks she is driving to the game Friday night... next town over... DH will be in FLA so that won't be happening..maybe she can drive me and DS9.... I'm just not ready to let her drive in the dark that far yet.... This time change really allows the kid to drive in the dark early.. I mean at 6pm it's dusk..by 6:30pm it's dark!

He really needs photos taken..it's a must.. hold the Nair ransom!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I know what you mean about them driving in the dark. My biggest thing was passengers in the car with him. I didn't want the distractions from friends in the car so for the first few months, I would not let him have more than 1 friend in the car with him. I gradually increased it and now he just needs to let me know who is with him and he knows I'll kick his butt if he doesn't ensure that everyone is buckled in.

That is hilarious - oh man....

Your DS is dedicated, I give him that!

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm at work. I took Princess to her H1N1 clinic last night - it was mental, and we were there for nearly an hour and a half. I ended up getting a migraine once I got home and fell into bed around 7:00 last night. Sucks.

Funny about AndrewNo shaving his legs, funny about Z2H trying to clean her room, happy birthday to SIOH's Dad, sorry to hear your DH has a cold Rebecca, congrats on PJ's license and getting there safe this morning Nan. Sorry if I missed anyone, I'm tired and cranky.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Jennifer - you always make me laugh. Tired and cranky.
DIT - Nair!!

OK DH needs computer will add list in a momentito.
