Hi, Jen - just thought I'd post a little something to you in my journal. I know you're in kind of a hurricane of excitement, busyness and nerves about your wedding, and that's OK. It'll be over with before you know it, and you'll be on your honeymoon. So take a few deep breaths and get some sleep ( Read more... )

We get there and there a half dozen kids waiting for me. Danny is there - he's about Savannahs' age (9), but frankly he's a bit flaky. Savannah is kind of tagging along with me everywhere, so she's standing next to me when Danny walks up. I have a hand on her shoulder, she's kind of snuggled into my hip ( Read more... )

Went up to PA yesterday to visit with my great-niece, and g-g niece and nephew. And of course my brother and sister in law. Plus Karen (niece) and her husband Ken came by. Aside from being picked on for approaching 50 by Karen, which earned her a few jabs back (hey, she'll be 50 next summer, so shut up!) I had an awesome time. Even though I had ( Read more... )

To see my great niece, and great-great niece and nephew! Cool. Jen is definitely way up there with me, and Jasmine (great-great) and Kevin are just far too cool. Should be a fun trip ( Read more... )

Even Miranda is back, so my entertainment for the year is assured. Got a new boy who is going to be a trial for my patience - Linda says he sounds ADHD. He simply cannot concentrate on anything for more than 5 ( Read more... )

Jackie did nothing last night but tell me she doesn't want to go to school today. I can't blame her I guess, but I'd trade places with her in a heartbeat. Work sucks ( Read more... )

So, I was unable to sleep Thursday night for being paranoid about all the rain. Good thing, too, because about 1AM I finally got up and checked the basement. The water was two inches away from the top of the sump and still rising. I wake up the family and we cleared the basement out just as the water started covering the floor. By 5AM it was ( Read more... )

Last night we finished (mostly) our Hospice training. Now, what to do with it? We missed one class because we were in Boston, so we have to make it up. Whatever ( Read more... )
