Good Morning Ladies~
What a day...had to spend 3 1/2 hours at the emergency room last night. DS#2 came home with a bandaged finger and told me I needed to take him. The kid nail gunned his fingers to a board yesterday at 2:30 but did not go to the emergency room. He said he had to finish the job-WHAT!!! Ummm, okay. Anyway, the nail went through one finger and scraped the other. But the one it went through, his left index finger is broken. I've got to make an appointment with a ortho. specialist today to see what they want to do about it. Meantime he has to keep it in a splint thingy and take antiobiotics. I told him if something happens again to go straight to the emergency room. I told him I was going to call his boss and tell him to not let him handle the nail gun!
Just kidding, I wouldn't embarrass him. I hate those things.
Marti~I don't know anyone about that age, no wait, my nieces (the twins) are about 8 I think. I can't keep up with their ages. I will write them and let them know. All the others are either younger or much older than 12. I don't know if they would actually keep up with the writing but I will see and send you their info. My DS#1 in school years ago, he was in 7th or 8th grade and it was a class project to pick someone to write overseas. He is still writing Isabella in Italy. She is such a sweetie and I was hoping that one day they could meet. But I think it is cool that almost 10 years later they still correspond.
Jen~sorry to hear you are in a funk, or were. But glad to hear about the young neighbors. It is always nice to have neighbors about your age. Ours are all younger except two single women, one is about 70'ish ??? and the other is about late 50'ish. I am not good at guessing ages. Hope today is a better day for ya.
Mindee~aaaah, the first birthday...so special and so much fun!
Jana~I didn't start the Core after all. 1. didn't have the foods in the house to get started and 2. I refuse to drink anything less than 2% milk and use the points on that and bread. I didn't really think I ate that much bread and such. While it sounds good I guess there are some things I am not willing to do without. The book I finished was Mary Higgins Clark-Nighttime Is My Time and it was a goo done. The one I started yesterday and almost finished is "E" is for Evidence by Sue Grafton-it's okay. I am hoping the other two I have are better than this one.
Shanna~I knew everything would work out for the best.
And if your mommy and daddy are willing to help then let them. They love you and are there for you, so don't feel any guilt. Just accept it gracioulsy. You are fortunate to have parents that care and are willing to help you. You will have to take pictures of your place all decorated at Christmas so we can see all your crafty work.
Did I miss something about Susan? Did she delete all her posts? I hope everything is all right with her. Do you hear that Susan? Hope everything is fine.
Hi to everyone else-hope you have a great day. Hope everyone has a great day.
Well, not much on the agenda today, as usual. Do need to get some laundry done and will vacuum and dust. That's about it. When Vince gets home today we are off to SAMS to do some shopping. Try to get there at least once a month but doesn't always happen. Later ladies...
Things really do have a way of working out, don't they? And let them do it, they want to. You can do some nice things for them along the way and later, but all they want is to love their little girl.
