OK I am here. The Out Laws brought back Jasons Demon Spawn. It is amazing how much of a **** head he is. I really did not miss him at all. It has been in the 80s here and muggy. It is better than the 100s at least. I can't belive how busy we all have been. Ihave a hard time getting online when family is here. Jason just was telling me that I talk to my friend Shawn way to much and we talk about stupid stuff! I said well you talk to Jeff about stupid **** and I don't listen or get into it . He fired back with well you haven't even met her!I don't think he realises how close we women can become here online. It really upset me none the less. I feel like I can't have any friends that he isn't jealous of. I stay off the comp a lot now so he can't say you all are taking me away from stuff and I clean and cook and talk to Shawn. I can not win. I stay at home to watch after his evil brats and I feel like a hermit. So if I make a few close friends online what does it matter? I feel closer to you then most of my so called real life friends. Sorry for the rant I will be happier Thursday when the family is all gone again. I will be very happy Monday when Jason and Robert and Out Laws are all gone!
Daphne

Daphne,
I am sorry Jason feels that way about your online friend, Shawn. My Jim found out from experience what good friends I have made online and I have met in person a few of them that I have been in touch with for YEARS! It would be like the used to be pen pals were and sometimes friendships were made with that but sometimes not. Same online. You would never get to meet other people from other areas if not for this or the mail system. Why just limit friendship on what you can make locally? That's important I agree but I know that with wise choices and you can establish very healthy and beneficial online friendships. Women need each other. Men are different than that. When my mother died, I don't know what I would of done without my online friends. They even called me on the phone when it happened. I needed them and they were there more so than the ones I had around me. You are not avoiding what is needed to be done at home so I would not feel bad about talking to Shawn. Sorry the return back of "Jason's Spawn" has not been good. I was hoping he would of learned what a good thing he had at home and would of been better for just a bit. What does his grandparents say about his behavior? Do they feel he is a problem?
School begins back to on August 23rd. Elena is not looking forward to going back to school and to be honest neither am I. I dread getting up so early and battleing with homework each night. Getting her started back on meds so she can concentrate and working through the problems it will present. She's had a good summer. I need to go and work some more at my Dad's. I'll talk to you all later. Rosey, enjoy getting back into the swing of things. I'm so glad you are back. Summer, have a great time! I miss ya!
Dana, where are you ?????? Dee???? Kris????? Glen?????
I know it's been a busy summer and we all have full plates. I look forward into something normal and less stressful... but when????

hi guys. Just a short post here while I"m cooking supper and DH will be home in about 5 minutes. We got back from cherokee yesterday and had a nice time. We went to Santa's Land amusement park and zoo. Laken rode her first roller coaster and had to ride it again. I'm having a time getting brett into school. They start next tuesday. The elem. school didn't send anything over to middle school and they didn't know they were getting a new diabetic child. The school nurse wasn't much help because she has never started a school year. She took over in march during last school year. The diabetic educator that did it for me last year is on leave of absence herself until sept. I finally found someone to talk to at the school today. He's the 6th grade guidance counselor and happens to have a lot of experience with diabetic children. I meet him on thursday and he said he would get the kinks out for me.

Well I need to finish supper and have to run logan over to my grandmas to spend the night. I will get back on here tomorrow if not before. I've missed you all.

I know that it's hard to keep up with everyone this time of the year and also that Summer is off on a much needed vacation. I hope you are having a blast, Summer!

Rosey, sometimes we need that quiet, do nothing days. I need one too. Elena starts back to school on the 23rd of this month. My Dad is moved in, we are just still unpacking and decorating. My co-designer has been away at the beach and just got home last night so I've been doing it all by my lonesome. LOL

Dana, I hope all works out with getting everything to a good start for Brett this school year. How is your Grandfather doing?

Daphne, hoping you aren't in the Washington paper on the front page for choking inlaws or a step-son. LOL I'm kidding!! Hey, with all this exericise I'm getting for picking up such heavy boxes I'm losing some of my fluff. Do you still love me?? LOL

Glen, hope you have a good weigh in tomorrow.

Kris and Dee miss you both.

Guess what? My baby needs glasses. She had her annual eye exam yesterday and she is a little nearsighted now. I was hoping she would never have to wear them but she does and she is happy about it! LOL Oh well.. We shall see how long she keeps them on or how many times I have to ask her where her glasses are.

Going now. Rosey so sorry you have been all alone in here and now you have ventured out to another thread!!!!

Wow I was feeling guilty for not [osting and now I feel better. We are all just so busy it seems. Thank you to all that sent me the e mails that I needed! It is 90* here as of 2 hours ago. I live in the NW and that is not what we get here like we have been. Diet wise I am gaining like mad. I am up to over 240 now. I am not going to sweat it to much until the kids are in school and i can start walking again or going to a gym.
Donna I am sorry Elena needs glasses. They really do have some cute ones out there. I have a kid at church, she is 18, that wears them just to look cool. Glasses are the in thing now.
Rosey I think you must be exhaused! I want your energy that you have! I am glad that you are having a blast with family. Would you like to have mine?
Dana how is it going out there in the boondox? How are the kids behaving and is Kevin still working a lot of overtime?
Summer I miss you and hope that you are loving that needed and deserved vacation. Make sure Bernie and Buddy know that we all love them and pray for them still.
I am so glad that the in laws are gone. Robert left ofr scout camp today. He will be back Tuesday night.:yippie: Jason leaves Tomorrow for most likely 2 weeks or close to. I get Tony on Saturday at least:yippie:
Love to all the Chickies,
Daphne
