more ways to procrastinate

[ernest88]

I lived up in the mountains..13 miles past the closest town, which had nothing. 45 miles from the nearest "big" town..malls and such. 52 miles from where I worked. Drove 104 miles a day.

It was beautiful. At times it was treacherous. (snow)

The only good thing? I could pee in my yard. No neighbors. I don't miss it.

Oh Sweetie,

You'll figure it out, you always do. Aren't the first few days pretty layed back and a period of adjustment all around anyway?

How do the boys like their new school? What about the little angel? How is she adjusting? How about sweet mr BH? Is he liking his job?

Give everybody a big hug for me. I love you guys!

I'll write more later. Trying to make the rounds and then out to meet people for dinner!

Hope you had a great dinner sunshine!!!

My wonderful baboo is still wonderful. He is in training 12 hours a day this week and next so that is pretty sucky for him.

the boys are getting more and more excited for school (and a little nervous too)

BB and I are adjusting to each other
there can be only one alpha female in the house and that is me sister!!! I am trying to grow some extra patience and understanding.

I will hug everyone...twice

we are eagerly awaiting your visit.

I will invite over Mr. Tortured-Ethan-Hawk-Band-Teacher.

Dont worry it will all come together!

Happy Friday Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig!

i think it is one of those schools where when the teachers call home, the kids catch hellllllllll

I remember my school, it didn't matter what the teacher did to you, it was only important that they didn't call home because no matter what they did to you in scool it was minor compaired to what happened when you got home.

How goes it fig? I don't suppose you're thinking of comming up for WMSTR this weekend are you?

Woo Hoo!

Morning Fig:

$1.05???? Atta girl!!! I LOVE bargoons! I love turning trash to treasure. I have so many decorating books on Shabby Chic. It is amazing how you can decorate on a budget. I read these books and cut out pictures over and over again. I'll bet you turn your home into a wonderful place in no time.

I'm not totaly up to date here but does BH have a daughter who is living with you? Hmmm - girls are much different than boys. Just ask me who got one 6.5 years after raising only boys. She has been a challenge for sure! I love her to death but she is more like me than ME! And that makes for its difficulties.

Anyway, thinking of you and your little ones (kitties included). I read with astonishment that you had classes of 50! WOW! I'm not sure I could maintain any sense of order. At the dance school we pretty much max at 15 and then we also have an assistant in the room. With little ones - sometimes 2 assistants. But school is different.

Good luck. Have a great w/e!
