It is ZIP UP YOUR COAT OR DIE TIME! -3 by me this am!
And, I'm officially, the MOST uncool MOM in the WORLD! (According to S12 this am) I made them wear uniform pants, instead of shorts this am. They seriously reacted like they had been shot when I made the announcement. They kept circling back w/"reasons" as to WHY shorts were okay....blahblahblah... I kept repeating. "Talk to the hand, BOYS! You're wearing pants!"
The health thing is better. Pneumonia is about 75% gone. I'm gaining energy. We have a bball tourny this weekend in Milwaukee suburbs, and then we're seeing TransSiberian Orchestra! Yea!
How are you my friend???????

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
I called him earlier in the day, seeing if he was making it home for S12's game (since I had to take S10 to a soccer game). He said he wasn't, as the weather had created issues on all of his drivers' runs.
Well, about 2:30, he called... (I didn't pick up. I had met my BFF for a glass of wine, prior to kid pick-up - right across the street from kids' school.)
About 3:10 he calls again, and I answer. He's going to make it back. Wants to know what the plan is...
Calls again... Where is this game? (I already gave him the info on the last call.)
Calls again... Having a hard time locating the school. Me... "It's a new school. Why don't you stop somewhere in the small town and ask?" (I KNOW - MEN DON'T STOP AND ASK DIRECTIONS. THEY JUST TERRORIZE THEIR WIVES RESOURCES! LOL)
Calls after the game... Play by play of S12's game.
Calls again... H says, "I'm like work today, huh?" Me, "Oh, no, I enjoy being your constant redial!" (tongue in cheek, funny) Checking on something S12 had said... making plans for tomorrow, and the weekend.
So, S12 has a bball tournament out of town this weekend, and H wants to get a hotel, and stay there. (Thinks I need to not stress myself w/waking up early, and the driving back and forth, etc...) (I think he wants to be able to sleep, too! Don't blame him after the weather this week...)
D18 was just here for dinner w/two of her girlfriends. (NONSTOP TALK - My God! Are they loud?!?! LOL) They are taking S12 to his soccer game for me. It starts at 8:30, so he won't be done until 9:30, and home near 10. I just can't do it. I don't want to get too tired, and sick again.... She just txt'd me, asking when S12 and his friends started looking like teenagers. "MY GOD, MOM, S12 has some facial hair starting to grow! Ewwwwwwwwwww!" I told her to take a whiff of him after the game if she really wants to be sick!
So, all in all, we're good.
Hope the forward momentum continues.

I love hearing stories about your daughter. I'm so tickled that she is working at the tree farm and is exercising her creativity there. At least that's more fulfilling than being a cashier somewhere or--God forbid--a sales clerk at the mall, where it would be too tempting to spend the paycheck before it landed in the bank!
I think we 40-somethings need to protect our financial futures by investing in companies developing hearing aids and tattoo removal--LOL. I have a D14, and although no tattoos yet, she is busy at the moment trashing her eardrums with her iPod.
Silver - LOL!!! My H had the tattoo removal idea a few years back. D18 is a handful, but she's an absolute kick. Tonight she tells me... "Mom, I have news. If you put SALT on the ice/snow around your car tires, it melts it." Her friends about fell off of their chairs! My only reply was... "D18, that's GENIUS!" She truly acted proud to know that. Scary.
