Great news about "our" boys yesterday!! Yay Colton! Yay Matt!
I got a bit of sad news yesterday, my grandmother passed away. This was not unexpected, as she has been sick for many years and was about 96 years old, but still. For some reason my parents don't want me to go to the services, or even to use my bereavement leave at work to take care of my own kids while my folks go. (It's in Minnesota.) So they have come up with this hare-brained scheme that they will take Emma with them and have the neighbors babysit Lyzzie so she doesn't miss more school; one neighbor in the morning and another in the pm while I'm at work. This seems way too complicated to me. I've already spoken to my boss and I am entitled to the time off, so I don't really see what the problem is (or what business it is of my parents' whether I take the time off or not). I think that my folks are under the impression that I must attend the services in order to get the time off, and I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I'll have to talk to my boss again to clarify. I don't really think it's a good idea to bring Emma to a funeral - the girl is NOT the quiet type!
Lyzzie told me this morning that she witnessed a car accident yesterday after school. Actually, the kids sitting on the other side of her bus saw it, and Lyzzie just saw a car upside down and a woman lying on the ground. The kids think it was a mom on her way to pick up a kid from school. I have no tv yet so I didn't see anything about it, but how scary for the kids!! And for her to not even tell me until today!?!
The house is starting to come together, I've got the living room and bedroom furniture arranged but I am still living in Box City. I can't find anything and it's driving me crazy(er)! I was kind of hoping for a couple days off while my parents to go MN so I can have time to get the house in order. (This is where my mom would look at me and say "me, me, me.")
Donna, let me know how Six Flags is! I've been to the ones in TX and GA, but they were both a looooong time ago. I remember having a lot of fun, but then again, I really like theme parks so I am determined to have fun even at the crummy ones.
YM, if it's not too late, have a nice trip! (see you next fall!) Sorry, my inner 6-year-old couldn't resist.
Nicole, I can see your Tink just fine, but yesterday she was gone for a little while. She is a flighty girl, that Tiki-bell! (As Emma calls her).
I know I like JUST got back, but I'm sooo insanely jealous of all of you who have upcoming trips! If it wasn't for the awful effects the humidity & heat have on me, I'd seriously consider moving back to FL. Did I tell you guys that I went to college in Orlando? I missed a lot of classes, but I did get my monthly WDW fix!
Back to work, I'll check in again later.

to you. So sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I think you need to follow your gut instinct and do what YOU feel is right. And what an awful thing for the kids to see! So sad.
for your sanity, and your girls' ailments. Hopefully Evel Kenevel (sp?) learned from her 'accident'!
Amber, Ashley, Nicole, pozey, Jill, and anyone I've missed....
