Good morning ladies! Or afternoon … it is just about to be afternoon here.
This morning on the ride in to the office, it was a little upsetting to hear that none of the radio stations were even talking about 9/11. No music, no types of memorial, no reading of names like they had in the previous years. Already the effects of 9/11 are disappearing? For a short while, everyone drove around with little flags hanging out of their cars … and that didn’t last long. And today, THE day so many lost their lives, and it was like it barely even happened here. And I am in NEW YORK! What the heck? Hope it wasn’t like that everywhere.
I am tired today. I am so grateful that tomorrow, I don’t need to set an alarm clock. I have natural built in six year old ones, lol, but even they won’t buzz me at 6:45 am!
I am LOVING school. I have already completed week one assignments that aren’t due until 9/20. :-D I am a geek. I love it. For now … eventually it is going to get harder, and you will find me having a meltdown, just like Julie in J&J - crying on the floor surrounded by raw meat. Only my raw meat will be textbooks.
Food was good yesterday. Curriculum night at the Elementary school 6:30 - 8:30, so no exercise. Tonight, driving DS12 to his friends for a b-day sleepover. MUST cut the grass, but I guess not tonight because it is raining. This weekend: exercise, grass cutting, shopping (food and clothing), slumber party for 7 children, Board meeting for HOA, schoolwork, and major house cleaning! And need to come up with a dinner menu. OIL CHANGE! Forgot that, and that is the most important!
Suddenly, I am thinking I won’t be so refreshed after this weekend after all!
Breakfast today was egg beaters on english muffin, lunch is lean cuisine, snack is pear and apple, dinner is TBD … maybe I will do the shopping tonight with just the twins, and take them out to eat.
Must. Drink. Water. Really bad at that lately.
Linda- OMG! You are right! I didn’t realize he didn’t invite her back. I don’t know, I know Mandy was a little sensitive/emotional but I felt she was the best fit for a relationship. I don’t think Tali is it, AT ALL, and Melissa … well hello, the thing about never babysitting her 4 year old nephew who lives 10 minutes away?? Uh uh.
Ok ladies, thanks for the comments and the welcome back! And Mel, is that REALLY you!? Are you back!? ![]()

Yes, it’s really, really me and I am back. I’ve been here for awile now, but my new journal was private–I just went public and am back to the living. You will love school! I, too, was a huge geek when it came to school and although I finished graduate school 15 years ago (yikes!) and my teaching credential 11 years ago (double yikes!) I still dream of going back, but am much more attuned to learning new things on my own–French this year!
I just watched a 9/11 documentary on the History channel and it was overwhelmingly emotional and disturbing; I can’t even imagine living there when it happened or being there now with all the memorial celebrations. I’m sure it’s very emotional.

Wow, surprised you’re not hearing much about 9-11 in NY today. I heard some on the radio this morning.
Try to fit in some “me time” this weekend!

I went by several factory parking lots on my errands today and workers had parked their pick up trucks with the beds facing toward the street. Each truck had a huge American flag at a 45 degree angle. msnbc carried some coverage today of activities in New York. Perhaps you just missed it on your commute.
glad you are liking school.
Good example for your kids also.

TV had lots of coverage this morning of things, but nothing on the radio here either
It no wonder those women are all gaga over him. I’ve never had a man sit there and tell me I was wonderful, beautiful special etc. That would go t o anyone’s head. Wonder if the producers coached him? Yes I am cynical
