I'm all caught up. Thanks for not talking too much tonight. We had another beautiful day here today which means I didn't get much done as I had to be outside watching the little guy. He loves to be outdoors. Nick had an accident on his 4 wheeler today. He was going too fast and panicked. He shot across the road and into/under a cable. He was lucky and fell off. It could have taken him in the neck. A car was coming toward him and saw the whole thing. They stopped to make sure he was ok. He has some scratchs on his face from falling off, but was very lucky. I had a cousin that was decapitated by a cable while riding a snowmobile so this was very emotional for me. He is still scared. I really hope that he learned his lesson about riding too fast. He definately had a guardian angel watching over him today.


Deb

I'm relieved to read that Nick is okay!

On a happier note I got to ride my motorcycle today. It rides so comfortably. I forgot how much fun riding is. My dm is not happy that I am riding again. She worries that I will get in an accident. It's not my driving that scares her, but the other drivers out there that don't see motorcycles or the ones that intentionally cut motorcycles off (I happens way to often). I am very careful and I am confident or I wouldn't ride. The older boys can't wait to ride with us.

Deb

Glad he was ok. Very scary. And sounds like you had a good time too!

 

[bengalbelle]

yeah - now that I see it spelled correctly I get it - but remember, be kind, I've been sick!

It's ok with me, I'm not the spelling NAZI!!!!!

For some reason, I just don't think the same would ring true for my former students!

Actually for once, my students had a "legitimate" complaint with that book. Alan Paton didn't use quotation marks for dialogue. How confusing!

Amy

Well, I'm not sure what happened with me! I read so many books those 2 years and wanted to hang my teacher out to dry...

But now when they come up, I read them again and usually love them! It was actually quite a good list

Very true about the quotation marks though..... definitely a pain!

It was 88 degrees here today. The kids helped John wash his car, and we also got the sprinkler out. I took a ton of pics, so I'll post some tomorrow. So glad it's getting warm again. Can't wait to go to the pool!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

She sure gets a lot of nicknames doesn't she??

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Are there boy fairies?

4 days

I'm much better

deb - I am glad Nick is okay

Dawn - I used to have a tag that said - you know what they say about assuming - and it was in reference to me saying I always assumed the TF was a girl but maybe the TF was a boy!!

 

[KMH1]

Yes, you're definitely feeling better!

You will be at the airport when we arrive!

We leave on AirTran at 4:30pm.

 

[Tinkaroo]

Lindsay -- I hope the new assistant works out! Maybe then we can meet for lunch.

That would be great! I work in downtown. The next few weeks are going to be pretty packed, but maybe into early summer things might be smooth enough that I could get away. You work in Dallas proper, right?

 

[triplefigs]

You will be at the airport when we arrive!

Ok, we'll have a DDA meet at MCO. We'll PM each other the flight details. We should get to the airport around 2:30pm or so.

 

[Steamboat Marti]

Deb - glad he's ok - but that's a little too close for my comfort!


I'm heading to bed - goodnight all.

Vicki -

Julia helped me with your signature and she fell in love with PM - I asked if she wanted him to come visit us and she can't wait - lucky for her we get him pretty soon!!!!

Ok, I think I have this worked out at least tentatively. This is what I have so far. If I missed someone that is interested, let me know and I'll see about working you in the schedule (there are a couple of people that are on the list twice since we had room).

I will go through it one more time to finalize it. If anyone sees a problem for themselves, let me know. The blank t-shirts are on their way to me. I should have them early next week and I'll get them sent off to where they need to go.

Yikes, Deb, that's scary. I'm glad Nick is okay - and that was probably a good lesson learned!

 

[bengalbelle]

deb - I am glad Nick is okay

Dawn - I used to have a tag that said - you know what they say about assuming - and it was in reference to me saying I always assumed the TF was a girl but maybe the TF was a boy!!

I suppose anything is possible. So are there girl turtles too?

 

[tinknme]

Very nice!

Ok so we dyed eggs tonight and decided to do the tye dye from Family Fun.

They didn't take long at all and were pretty easy

 

[tink2020]

Depending on who you ask.....

 

[bengalbelle]

Yes, you're definitely feeling better!

Amy

I have a horrible headache and all I want is an ice cold Coke

Oh! Yipppeee! We get him twice. May is likely when Rees will have surgery, so that would be great for Rees. And do we get him for our trip in Sept. How fun!!!! I'm going to have fun making shirts for PM. Have to make him a matching one to go along with the kids.
