It's not much yet, but I'm having fun! I have wanted since we got married to have our own site to keep in touch better with family and friends about our lives... now it's finally at least underway!

Hello all! I was supposed to be outside working in the yard, but it's still gross here... so I tried to catch up a bit!

Theresa - Congratulations on the bid! Please keep us posted!

Lindsay - It's nice to see you again before you get really busy with summer stuff!

Jennifer - congratulations on graduation being so soon! Please let us know if you get an antenna topper, and I'll check the next time I'm at the mall.

Tia - the Easter pictures are adorable! Terra is getting so big!

Robyn - tell Molly and Emma I said hello, and for this stage of life! I hope you and Eric are doing well!

Things have been crazy here, both at home and at work. All Kyle and I can do is keep reminding ourselves (and each other) that our trip is coming up quickly! Three weeks!

I hope you all are doing well!

I'm being lazy and starting here...Eric came home and all my daycare kids are gone so I am escaping for a few minutes. don't tell my kids!

Thanks everyone for the hugs/words of encouragement. It means a lot and helps. I feel bad that I don't respond to each of you so thanks for listening to me vent.

I'll second that

I had Nick's conference and his grades are exceptional!!! He has continually improved all year and his teacher (who I don't care for by the way) was raving about his writing and artistic skills. She says that it isn't often that she looks forward to reading a students assignments, but his are always so different and insiteful She says that she is going to miss him next year.

Then on to Hunter's. Apparently he has developed an attitude and isn't being the respectful kind boy that he had been. He has had to stay in for recess for poor behavior and he won't admit when he has done something that he shouldn't have He also refuses to check his work in math, which has always been his best subject, so now it is his worst subject. She says that he knows how to do it all, but because he won't check his work his grades are not reflecting his ability. I know that I am overreacting because the reality is that he got a B in math instead of straight As, but both his teacher and I know that he has so much potential that he is too lazy to tap into.

This conference couldn't have come on a worse day as I caught 10 minutes of the play earlier today and it is excellent. It is hard to emphasize my disappointment in his lower grades and still be enthusiastic about the play. I'm not sure that he understands the seriousness of the conference. I will not tolerate poor behavior especially in school.

So I is a roller coaster of a day to say the least.

seems you could use one too.

So I just got done with the mortgage broker.......I nearly had a panic attack with him. I had to keep reminding myself to breathe.

AAAAAAAACK!! This waiting for final approval is killing me!!

It's is the worst experience I have ever been through. Deep breaths and it is worth it in the end.

Deb, sorry Hunter is not working to his full potential.
I must say I never could understand why a few of the very smart kids would cause trouble and slack off, because I would have given anything to be able to be that smart.

Then I meet John (geek to the 10th power). The reason he would cause trouble and slack off is because he wasn't being challenged enough, so he got bored.

Now I am not defending what Hunter is doing, but maybe the work is just too easy for him, so he gets bored?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Theresa, deep breaths.
John and I just went through this 4 years ago this June, that is when we bought. Like Robyn said, in the end it with be worth it.

That looks really cool, Jennifer! I'm very impressed! This is definitely the way to go to keep families connected these days!

I finally did get in touch with the hospital to schedule Molly's endoscopy. Of course, it was by me calling every 15 minutes.

Anyway, it is scheduled for April 30th. I am a little crazed that it is 19 days away as it means Molly will be off her meds for that long and then depending on what they find could take another 2-4 weeks before any new med starts working. I seriously don't know if I can make it that long. I just ask that you keep your fingers crossed that they can determine what is wrong with her when they do the endscopy. My biggest fear is that it won't be conclusive and I don't know where that will leave us.

That is a VERY valid point!

Thank you Kristine!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've spent any time here, RL continually gets in the way, then the bad weather we had yesterday messed up our cable line so we had to repair it.

Loved all the Easter pics, it's amazing how much all the kids have grown.

Congrats on the bid Theresa, I've got my fingers crossed for you!!!!!

Jennifer - just want you to know that I will miss you posting here, and will miss seeing pictures of your red headed princess.

Tammi - your new guy really does seem like a keeper!

Deb - hope the play goes off without a hitch.


I'm going to be one of those people on hold in the morning trying to make reservations for free dining, we've decided to take our DGS to Disney, just the two of us, , hopefully we'll do ok. He actually behaves better for us when his parents aren't around.

Guess I'd better get off of here and give his mom a call so we can talk about things before I actually make the reservations.

I'll try and check in more often.

So very true Deb!! Heidi hit the nail on the head for a lot of kids.

I am so sorry for you and Molly.

I hope that the test will be conclusive so you can move forward quickly for one of my favorite munchkins!!
