Hey guys---
I know I am so far out of the loop----but-----what in the world is this??
Super Spaz Rat to the Rescue!!!!!
Lesa---you crack me up with your smilies----or whatever they are.
I hope everyone is doing alright. I've been in an icky mood lately----just alot of things on my plate again.
I think I need another vacation!!!! Too bad my vacation time at work and budget doesn't allow.
Yolanda----prayers for your mom!!

Good luck with getting everything finalized with DH's job.
Donna--thanks for the muffins. I really wish I could reach through the screen and grab one-----I have nothing in the house!! I may have to resort to dry Cherrios.
The bridge collapse happened more in the Downtown area.......I-55 and the 40/64 split, I think?? Going into Illinois?? Not sure, but I heard that they re-opened it around 2:30 this morning. I think only one woman had minor injuries. Wow, that could have been so much worse!!!!
How far are you from Edwardsville????? I saw on Show Me St. Louis the other day a darling little French antique shop that is new and would love to go and see. My parents used to live in Edwardsville years ago, but I had already moved out of the house, so I never really got to know the area that well.
Michele----Lilly is soooo darn cute!!!!! I just want to hold her!!! How are you doing?? How sweet of your dad to come and take care of her so you and Bree can get some rest. How is Bree doing?? Give her hugs from us. More pics please.
Lesa---Sorry to hear Maddie was under the weather. And sorry you had to endure stepping in the "pile". Ick. I had to quickly scan through this story. You know me and my weak stomach.
Hopefully you can get some sleep. The Today show just had a story on sleep clinics. Only in your dreams, right??
Amber---I grew up in the midwest and always remember having to go downstairs when the tornado sirens started blaring. Luckily (everyone knock on wood for me) -----never came close. It is so devastating to see the damage that they can do.
DznyFan----Keep Erin away from people and keep her pumped with Vit. C!!!! Easier said than done, though. How are her rehearsals going?? I really wish I could have come to see her, but no luck.

---just won't work out.
Pozey----do you get Southern Living Magazine by chance?? I can't remember which issue, but I remember seeing some sort of Banana Pudding Pie recipe and thought of you. It was a new version of the traditional banana pudding with the nilla wafers that you said you like. I will do some research if you are interested.
YM----wassup??
Lyzziesmom---I see you went to the Wiggles concert. The girls look like they had a great time---especially Emma. How cute.
Hi Ash, Nicole (where's your cruise ticker??), Linda (and Mike and Kenny), Sherri, April, Angela, Sewer, Bonnie, and anyone else I've forgotten (sorry).
I have to get ready for work. yippee.
I'll try and check in tonight.
