First Day of School


I can't believe she is in the 7th grade!! She has grown so much, but some things never change. She was nervous as usual. I sent her on way wishing her well. For the first time ever, I didn't even drive her to school. She rode with her friends. She came home all smiles and loving each of her teachers. She got to see old friends, and friends from church who are just starting middle school. She is a teacher's aide this year, and has her mind set on joining the drama club. Go Kristin go!

And here is the 4th grader. She was up and raring to go. She already kind of knows her teacher. She had her last year for P.E. And it just so happens that this teacher is good friends with her 3rd grade teacher. Both of these women, made sure Emily had her buddy in her class. Now how cool is that? She will have a full load of studies this year--lots of books--and her first ever class rotations. She is growing up too. I didn't drive her to school either. She went with Kristin. She had a good first day and was happy to be in class with her friends as well as making a new one. Go Emily go!

Dear Lourie! We need to get your DVD player fixed and sign you up for net flicks. You saw your first red box the other day and you haven't seen Oh Brother Where Art Thou. BUT Alas, I believe the short coming is mine- my best friend is a toss up between my laptop and my DVD player- that's probably not a good thing.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
