Hi Cynthia= love your Halloween decorations! I hope you feel better soon. It is miserable to be in pain all the time.

Colleen- that is great that the baby is a girl. there is so much cuter things to buy. It is awful finding cute stuff for the boys. Everything is dark blue and grey. Congrats!
Is your daughter feeling good?

Hi Gail
I did not go to college right out of high school. I got married first. So, when I got divorced, I went back to school. I wanted to be an artist, and my parents were freaking out. My Nun wanted me to go to Paris to art school, and they were adamant about my not going. I had won several Art contests for the Archdiocese of Boston’s high schools, first and second places. So, the fight began. Can you imagine? I may have been a designer of sorts, had they not freaked at me being away from them- an only child…..LOL So, they had to babysit at night, while I went to school. I got my revenge….LOL LOL

I had to end the dinner strike. they better just ne happy about whatever I make for the rest of this hot weather. Tonight we are having sandwiches- way too hot today. It says 101 on my back deck.

My mouth guard is only a piece of plastic over my top teeth- like those tooth whitening things you see advertised. Not sure if yours is different. It does make you talk funny. Makes for amusing pillow talk….LOL
Rissy is all set with school- she went right to guidance, and they got her into 3 classes. She goes to school on Tuesday and Thursday, and is out by 1:00pm. She made a friend too, which is what I thought would happen. So, she was happy- got all her books today too.

I got out some of the Dept 56 Halloween houses. Only the ones in one closet. I have another closer completely full of them on the top shelf of that closet, so there is more to do. I wanted to get them out before I vacuumed this week, as you always have those annoying little white balls of Styrofoam floating around after. I hope to get the rest out before the weekend.
I go to the bottom of this page, and click on the attachments link. Then I search for a pic, and attach. the last one I had to do twice, before it showed. I had to open the pic in a different way to get it to attach. I have no idea how I eventually did it….LOL All I remember is that it would not take it from my picture file. I may never be able to do it again. I hope they fix this, so it will be simpler to do.
I am so glad we heard from Barbara! I friended her, as soon as she came on. I hope she friends me back, so I can do a private email response to her, and help her get on here.
It is grossly hot here today.
Adele

Hi Colleen
That is a good idea to keep a pillow in the car.
I would love to send bobby- maybe he would fall in love with one of your daughters….LOL
They fixed Marissa’s schedule at school. She now has 3 classes, twice a week, which is good. She already found a friend. I knew she would as she is very social. So, today was a good Marissa day.
I missed going to the school for JJ. I got up too late to wait until I was not stiff, so I thought it would not to be a good idea to get out of the house that early. Steph sent me a pic, and I talked to him, before he went. He took the cookies I sent for a snack, so that was good too.
It is too bad you did not go to the ho9iday celebrations because of the heat. I would have done the same thing. It is so gross out there today, I would not stick my nose outside. It will not cool down until Thursday around here.
I took out some of the Dept 56 Halloween houses today. So the decorating is starting….LOL

Hi Gail
OMG- isn’t it awful when we are prisoners to our backs? I hope yours gets better soon. It is awful when it gets all stirred up. that is what I am afraid of for tomorrow- I want to go see JJ off to school, and take pictures in the schoolyard. I am afraid of carrying the camera. It is heavy, and if I make this back gout again, I will be miserable for weeks. I am so conflicted dover this, you have no idea. Usually Amanda or Marissa will come with, but, they are not available. Rissy will be at her first day in college, and trying to get more classes, and Amanda will be at work.
I am making JJ his request of chocolate chip cookies today for his birthday Wednesday, and the first day of school tomorrow.
Oh yes… he needs that sense of humor, more than anything else! Walmart is all out of them. Must have been a run on senses of humor lately. Gary said thank you for the good wishes. the phone has been ringing all morning long.
I brush my night guard, in the morning, so all I do is put it in. Mine is plastic- it goes over the top teeth. It is not bad, and I have to say, my mouth feels better.
That is funny about your SIL. I can see Greg now, holding his ears….LOL
I went to a co-ed Catholic school. It was rally small. We had one class each of each grade, and the graduating class was 32 kids. You could not get away with anything. I really did have a ball in high school, in spite of the strict supervision.
that is a hysterical story about you and the boys from the boys’ school. Life is so very funny, when we look back on our youth.
hope you are feeling better. How is your SIL, feeling- has she heard anything from her doctor yet?
Hoe you are better, and out of your jammies. I love my Carole Hochman lounging jammies, and wear them in the house all the time. At least when I get them dirty form the baking/cooking/cleaning, I do not care!
Did I tell you….Tillie was saying she was going to call Meals on Wheels, as she needed to eat something else than sandwiches, as I was on strike….LOL LOL I guess I better end my food strike, before I get up on charges for elder abuse. I just wish everyone would stop complaining about the cooking. You would think I gave them slop. I have the most critical bunch I have ever seen!
hope your day is good!
Adele
