Evening Ladies,
Glad you all survived the rain and winds. We have had rain in Ohio all week long. I am getting sick of it. I enjoy the cooler temperatures, but like the sunshine with it.
It sure makes my special needs students goofy. They were talking about some weird stuff this past week. All of them wanted to come home with me at some point this past week. Two of them started to call me mommy. Makes me wonder about their home life and parents.
Welcome, Lisa! I am Kerry, one of the special needs teachers of the gang. I teach MH students in 6th through 8th grade. I have three stepkids who keep me busy when they are around. Twin boys who are 8 and a girl who is 10. You will love the support and guidance you get here. These are some wonderful friends! Once again, welcome!
Ginny, thanks for starting a new thread. I hate to see summer end but all good things must come to an end sometime. So are you already for school to start next week? How are you enjoying your last few days of freedom? That isn't bad that you were only up .5#, since you just came back from vacation. You will take it off in no time.
Robyn, glad you were okay in the storm. That is a lot of rain in just a few short hours. So did you get your trees taken care of yet? That had to be scary to have your trees come crashing down in your back yard. Did you get your house cleaned today?
Melody, glad you are okay. I was wondering about you. Sounds like you are having a great school year so far. Glad you are able to get your walks in with your little boy. I love going for walks with my stepkids when we have the time. In fact, they want to go to the one state park near us that has caves. They wanted to go tomorrow, but with all the rain we have had I can just image all the mud. No thanks. We told them that when we have in two weeks on the weekend we would go. So I hope the weather is nice that weekend.
Trob, I can remember the Sanford and Son show. So does that mean I am an old fart at 33 years old?
I loved watching that show because it reminded me of my brother who still wheels and deals today. In fact, my grandpa would call him Sanford all the time when he was alive. Glad you are able to get in lots of walking during your school day. Hope it shows up on the scales. I need to start back to working out. I have fallen off the band wagon the last few weeks.
Mouse, glad you are feeling better today. Don't worry about your room, it will all fall into to place. Just take care of yourself this weekend and rest. You will be just fine come Tuesday. The kids can help you get the room ready and that will give them a sense of ownership to the room.
Angela, hope you were able to get some sleep last night. I know what you mean about not being able to sleep when you dh is not home. I am the same way. In fact, if I go to visit my family without him, I don't sleep very well. I guess I just gotten use to him stealing half the bed for the last four years.
I am sure you can't wait for your dh and ds to come home tomorrow. I hope you got your house cleaned today. That was very nice of your sub to grade your papers for you. I wonder if she would come to Ohio to grade mine. LOL I have to do that some evening next week.
I snuck out of the house today and went to visit my sister. We met halfway and went to lunch. Then over lunch, she asked me about the local theater in the town we met in. So we drove to the movies and saw the movie Crank. It was a good action movie. Then we went to a local ice cream shop for sundaes. So I had a nice visit with her. I left my dh with his kids for about 8 hours. I thought is was payback from this summer when I had to entertain them daily while he was at work. I got home just in time to go out to dinner with them at the local pizza palor. So I guess I need to start working out again after the ice cream and pizza today.
Well I am just a little tired. So I think I will call it a day and go to bed. Talk to you all later. Have a wonderful weekend!
Kerry
