How are you doing, Chris?   Did you call the transplant hospital?  Call them!!   

Aleta, like you, I would have dropped at the beginning of the list!  Maybe wouldn't have even made it out of bed to start the list

[Hanify]

Is it quite common to have school starting at 7.35am?  We'd never get anyone in the classes over here if we tried that ha ha.  We're not even up yet at 7.35!

[YLGuy]

Finally home! 

I win.

[Chris]

No, I did not call transplant center. Left a message at 4:00 pm though with the doc who prescribed the medication there. I sslept most of the day. I got up at 7 am playing on getting ready to do stuff, but after starting to clean up the kitchen, I went back to bed to get warm. Woke up late in the afternoon. Never answered my phone for whomever was caling. Got up, finished cleaning the kitchen and floor, swept the  house and went back to bed at 6 pm.

[willowtreewren]

Chris, it sounds like you are worn out!

Hanify, we have kids competing to be the first at school! 

What are we doing wrong? 

Today is our big Historical Dinner day. By this afternoon there will be full sized models of historical figures sitting at a dinner table ready to welcome the parents in to learn about them. This is the most tiring day of the year. But, hey, we have a dialysis clinic this morning so I get to miss most of the tiring stuff!

 

[dwcrawford]

Historical Day with all the children!  Sounds so theatrical and fun.   I want to play.

[willowtreewren]

Well, Dan,
Pick your person, do your research, write a Limerick about your person, make a papier mache head and wig for your person, gather the clothing (2 pairs of panty hose for the arms and legs and a trash bag for the torso, all stuffed with crumpled newspaper) and you are set to go.

It IS rather theatrical. We have linen table cloths and candle light while the children recite their Limericks.

Here is one from a third grade student:

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank built a house over falls.
It was of wood and glass walls.
His first design
Was better than fine.
He gave architecture his all.

Come on over to enjoy our "dinner" tonight.

Aleta

[paris]

Aleta, are you streaking?       If you are, then I think you win!   

[willowtreewren]

I'm just feeling pretty good because we had our dialysis clinic today and they are taking care of referring us for listing with the transplant center that will accept me as a donor with my CC of 88!

Woot! 

Really late dialysis tonight after having our historical dinner at school. Will be dragging tomorrow.  But then FALL BREAK!

And a trip to Massachusetts! Weeeeeee!

[dwcrawford]

don't forget that Pam and John are getting married tonight on the Office....

[YLGuy]
