Thinking Out Loud.....

Meece, your job sounds very exciting and I bet the day goes by fast because you are so busy.  I am not just a receptionist, I also help all the departments in one way or another.  I work with most of the microsoft programs.  The CEO had name tag sign to put on my desk, it says, 

Deborah Ryer

"Director of First Impressions"

Ain't it the truth, LOL  

Deap Breaths Linda.

You are almost there.

Good Night

Good Morning!  Happy MH Day!!

I will be missing MH Day to go first to the dentist and then to the neck guy again.  Having feeling in my fingers seems to be important.  Darn pinched nerve.

Yesterday, I saw a photograph of the "secret".  A tiny little peanut shape that brought  me to tears.

Chabba - I hope we can do so as well - I will be seeing Beanius next week up here when she has her follow-up appts.  Maybe I will get to the coast this summer

I know you do Sandy!  He's home with me today and tomorrow. UGH!  I have to keep the internet disconnected so he can't connect.  I'll be in and out!

Oops! Too big again!

Hey Deb...thats how big my head feels like.

(((♥LINDA♥)))

Good Night All

Perhaps we SHOULD have Friday as our MH day? 

How is it to be back to work, Meece?  It sounds like a great position for you.

Linda -  You will have earned an extra glass of wine this weekend - it wasn;t so long ago we were denying internet access.  Actually, yes it was....

Oh no Sheila!  I was wondering why you posted so early.  I will be thinking of you and Dad today. XOXO

It's so hard to take away the internet.  I have to completely disconnect the network.  Kids today use everything on the net.  If I take the PC away, he still has is Iphone, reg phone, ipod, Xbox, Wii and PS3....all which he can access the internet with.  So, I have takenn all electronic devices and turned the net off.  My other son is not too happy but understands.  I sneak him on it.

And our phone was a party line!

Of course you walked 14 miles to school in the snow, up hill, both ways!

Kids are way too connected today.  That's the way of the world, I guess!

Thinking of you Sheila. ♥

Stressful week for me.  Both kids had papers to do - papers they didn't do right for the rough draft and had to kind of start over with.  It's so frustrating that these kids don't want to do the work they need to do to do well.  And don't want to ask the teachers any questions.  And resist any direction we try to give them.  Last weekend I ran to a couple different libraries trying to find books DD could use for her paper.  And this week, I couldn't get my DS to go to the school library during his TWO study halls to do the research he was supposed to do.  He did show a revised rough draft to the teacher, though.  But still.  He should have done more research.  Grrr.

On a positive note, DD gave blood the other day for the first time.  None of her friends did and she was disappointed in them.  Teachers were glad to see that she gave.  She couldn't schedule it during her study hall so she had to do it during a class.  They told her she had to ask her teacher.  He wasn't planning on doing much that day, so it was okay and he said he might even give her extra credit.    Other teachers were surprised that she could give because she is thin.  One even asked how much she weighs.  She's small in her upper body, but has a little bit of a tush and thighs, so she does weigh enough. 

And she said that she saw on the Student of the Month board that she was chosen to be student of the month for music.  I'll be interested to see what the teacher wrote about her.  She's been chosen to be student of the month for gym in the past.  Teachers wrote nice things about her.

Tonight is the Anti-pasta supper fundraiser for band.  Anti-pasta because they aren't having pasta - they're having chicken.  Middle school and high school jazz bands play.  I'll be interested to hear DD play.  I know she has a huge pile of music - but she rarely practices.  Drives me crazy.
