Wow, everyone has some really great thing going on  in their lives! And a little confused about this, but I think Richard spent the ay having sex. Yay for you Richard lol. Yvonne that puppy is gonna be your best pal in the world and you need that. The first year is a lot owrk but it is SO worth the pay off. Tip: treats work so well for training. I always kept some in my pocket outdoors. And Des you have a little too. aww.... I want another one now. Look what you've done to me lol. Paris- one hour? What an enjoyable time this must be for the family. So new he doesn't even have a name yet. I want to go to the laughfest very badly. Maybe today will be just as good as yesterday for all us. That would be 2 days in a row lol. For me, that would be amazing..

Micah John, 7lbs 6oz and absolutely gorgeous. He has a full head of black hair and huge, beautiful eyes and a very calm peaceful look on his face.  As if he knows this is going to be a good life.   Ahhhh, babies. They make the world right.      And my daughter has been interviewing for a job she really wants. 5 levels of interviews.  This morning she got the call and she is now the Exectutive Director of NC Muscular Dystropy Association. Very proud of her.  And the offered her $10,000 more than the salary they quoted her in the interviews!!   It has been a good 24 hours.   

Breakfast? I've been too excited to eat!  And I am having lunch with 2 good friends. Tonight I'm going to granddaughters band concert (7th grade). 

And Richard?   He does seem to have a reaccuring theme!!    :rofl;    Richardmeltmyheart --- our own Romeo!!     :cuddle;

Paris...what an exciting thing!   And Yvonne, Poppy is gorgeous! 

Today was a pretty quiet day here.  I worked on a quilt I am making for my daughter and did a little housecleaning.  Fed the cows.

Hi Tx and friends,

I spent most of last night with my 17 year old teenage daughter - she did not make the netbal team and was crying her little heart out. :'(

Now it is times like these that I need a "how to help your teen" manual  :rofl;
But all looks ok this morning.


Oh and I de-wormed all the doggies this morning.


(not very exciting but I don't want to talk about D or work)


ps I had yogurt and muesli for breakfast.

I have  14 & 19 year old girls and when their hearts are broken you just have to be there for them. I'll bet the manual says "just listen", and I'm sure you did that. Aww..I feel bad for her.

TS, I have been busy packing for our cruise.  Were going for 11 days, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Labadee, Samana and Antiqua.  I worry if my house will still be standing when I get back, I am leaving my 21 and 19 year old daughters home while we are away.  We are so looking forward to getting away from the cold, snow and rain and into the Caribbean sunshine.  :)

Ahhhh, I want a puppy!

Des, trying out for school sports is pure hell. My youngest tried out for baseball every season (made it once - freshman year), and basketball (never made that even though he tried so hard he puked). I think there are a lot of politics in school sports.

Yup, our snow is melting and now we have lots of flooding! It was 40 degrees today but very windy.

I'm taking my time going home from work today. My son (19) wanted to talk to his dad alone about switching jobs. He actually left his job two weeks ago, didn't tell my hubby and didn't want me to either. He got a better job, better pay, and lots more hours so hubby shouldn't be too upset (until this weekend when my son also tells him he wants to stop college for now).

Yikes!

Hope everyone has a pleasant evening. I'm going to get a movie!

I'm really loving those 'Poppy is gorgeous' statements ...

 ;D

(She is, Yvonne ... truly scrummy.)

I shan't spoil this thread with my bad news, but just wanted to let you know that I had TWO Weetabix this morning.  I was very greedy.  Also, I want to know who Richard spent the day having sex with.

I'm chugging away at my homework, and managed not to procrastinate today in spite of the lovely sunny day.  I did go out to lunch with a friend, though and had yummmmmmy Mexican food.  Homework for two classes done, and a good head start on an annoying part of another course.   :bandance;

Plus, I get to sleep in tomorrow - for the first time in AGES!

hey poppy just wanted to know what is Weetabix?

Also Aaron and I made the decision that we are going to move somewhere warmer when he graduates from college this summer! I have also made the decision to get licensed to teach "Talented and Gifted" students...I am really excited about this b/c I love to learn but even more this is my best chance to continue to teach and have smaller class sizes and kids that are more motivated to learn. Out of everything I LOVE about EDUCATING I love the imparting knowledge and helping kids explore their potential the best. I will miss the general population but I think this is the best bet for me to be able to keep teaching and living a fulfilling life. Aaron is going to take me to the local university and see what the requirements are.

Speaking of Aaron I just want to brag about how wonderful he is. He just constantly rises to the challenge of loving me and putting up with me. He has never lost faith in my ability to find my way back. I told him the other day that maybe we could get married in a winery. That is the only idea I have real seem to take a liking too. Anyway he is going to take me to a movie today!! yeah...of course last time I fell asleep at the theater :/  but of course he wasn't mad.

xo,

Today I get to pick up all 4 of my grandkiddos and bring them back to the farm for a week!   :clap;   I have been looking forward to Spring Break just as much as if I were still a student!  The oldest is soon to be 10 and the youngest is almost 4.  They are all really sweet and a whole lot of fun and love to come to the farm.  I intend to play...play...play!   :cheer:

As soon as I finish my morning coffee we are going for a walk on snowshoes.  Hubby told me last night he feels better than he ever has (anytime in his life)!!  And he's been on dialysis for over 14 years!!!  We are taking matches to have a fire.  It is +8 celcius today and the snow is melting!!  Thank God!!  I want to see flowers and leaves on the trees.  Will be late may or June here before we get the leaves on the trees and another couple of months before I see my tulips and daffidols bloom.  Terrible what has happened in Japan.  Pictures look awful!!
