I still have a headache but I just hired someone this afternoon so that's one problem gone. She had the job as soon as she said she was a Disney phanatic.
NOW our insurance company is really ticking me off. They received the police report on Kyle's accident and remember the guy that hit Kyle was an off-duty cop. Looks like he had some influence on how the report was written, Kyle is now at fault and he was hit in the rear.

My insurance company is telling me they know from conflicting statements given by the other guy that this at best is a 50/50 at fault case. I don't think I have it in me to fight this.
Kathy- first Hooray for the Disney Fan that you hired. This should help you free up a little.
Poor Kyle. This is so not fair.
I spent the whole day reseaching programs for Jeremy's homeschooling..I ordered Rosetta Stone German, and I need to put my curriculum in writing to submit to the school department for approval..I've done this before but it's been a while
Some of you may remember Ed's been dealing with a lot of anxiety due to his illness..The doctor gave him a new medication for it today..He came out of the bedroom last night at 12 AM and sat out in the living room with me for 2 hours because the pounding in his chest was scaring the heck out of him..The dacron graft they put over his aorta thumps when the aortic valve clicks off of it, and sometimes it freaks him out.
Poor Ed. This has got to be so tough, a new job and then feeling like this. I don't blame him for freaking out, that has got to be awful!
I have to hand it to you with homeschooling. My first husbands cousin home schooled all of her children and the time she put into this was incredible.
Kathy Sorry I would fight that report. I would contact internal affairs and file a complaint,saying you believe the officer influenced the report.
I agree. At least file a complaint so there is a record. I saw that the PD has a lot on their plate and will probably not want to deal with this but it is possible that Kyle will end up paying for this and that is not right.
Hey All, Just checking back in...Andrew and I have viral infections...Tom had broncitis and an upper resp. infection. Fun Fun! Thanks for all your good thoughts!
Get better, all of you!
Nancy -- I have been meaning to ask how your night with Timmy went. Wasn't that earlier this week? If you mentioned it already, I apologize. I must have missed it. I hope he is doing well.
Laura- it went so well. I had to look twice at him, he looks just like Chris now, and he sounds like him as well. He is a Corporal now and was one of four men to stay in this unit. He is going to go for additional training and will then train others. He drives an MRAP and that thing is big! He told us he is the lead vehicle and the commander (I think) is behind him. The Commander gave him a letter stating that he always felt that they were well served wen he saw Timmy was in front.
He was not doing well in school and I think had he not enlisted he would not have graduated. Then at boot camp he was with a tough bunch but made some very good choices and his path has been blessed. He told Buddy that he never thought that he would be taking college classes after all he did to stay out of school. I know that there are those who feel that the Military is not the best place for a young person but I believe that in Timmy's case he has found his niche. Buddy thinks that he needed the structure and the sense that he is one of a real group. He used to tag with me and always was under Buddy's feet but for a while he refused to see his Mom or any of us, (divorce and nasty ex) but somehow he is back and seems to be so grounded.
He did tell us how they ended up frying the Kuerig but said that they had plenty of food and the goodies from home were shared. He said there was always something good someone had. He also was trying the local food and said it was good. This is the second most picky eater I know, his brother was the first.
He is heading down towards Virginia to see Chris, he cannot get away from his base, and then he is going to watch Kim play. She is in tournaments and doing well. Debbie is one of the coaches so he can see them all.
Buddy was shocked that the meal was Costco. I just cannot get him to understand that my sister cannot cook. She is not good at heating things up either so this was a treat for Timmy. We can always gage when they boys are really hungry because they will say that they are looking forward to Mom's cooking

, (but then Chris will ask Marisa who made something before he eats it) apparently he likes some of his Aunties cooking
Oh well I have definitely talked too much but I am so proud of my tqo Marines
Under "normal circumstances" I would. But since Katrina EVERYTHING down here has changed. It would probably take 2 years for an investigation into the details of the report, if we were lucky to get an investigation at all. They're too busy down here dealing with the out of control murders and gang violence.
