It is not personal even though people tend to think that's how their parents always felt... not at all... everything gets skewed.

Right. My experiences have taught me that the "Those are the things they always wanted to say" idea is an incorrect conclusion. The circumstances are talking, not the lifelong opinions or attitudes of the person. In fact I've actually had loved ones tell me this about their behavior/talk the week or month before, which they remember but can't understand later, any more than others could then.

Big hugs to everyone giving care!

ToddlerC has ordinary Croup. She will take a steroid this evening (which is evidently what they do for it?). Pediatrician says to expect that she, herself, will be a Pill. :) (see the big hugs sentence above) Ddil has come home and ds has left for the fire station in their trade-off today. And guess who will step in to take care of our darling She's-Gonna-Be-a-Pill, tomorrow morning. Grandma, yes.

I have promised over and over that this is no trouble at all. :| So ya'll shhhhh... .. ;)

TaDas include lots of Desk Day.

Dee, is it a chain of stores having a sale? Wondering if I should do a little online shopping.

taking a break with a glass of sparkling water.

It wasn't the best driving weather to bring DH old pickup home but we got-er-done. It was a constant battle to keep the windows clear because everything is icing up. We had the windshield wipers & defroster going on high but the windows were still icing up around the edges. We followed the state de-icer dump truck all the way home so at least the roads were as good as it gets.

Lots of modifications accomplished on the R&E report. One more big one to do, but I have a template developed from other reports, so it won't be too bad. Users will see vast difference and be suitably impressed. No results have changed, but there are new ways to select subsets and new display options. My former boss brought a bunch of us homemade bread in circular loaves. It is made in hornos by Native American relations of his and is YUMMY! Funny thing, just last night, I was bummed by the lack of good bread to make into garlic bread. Problem solved! Coworker just added 3 report changes to my change list to end all change lists. There are now 99 items, many of which cover multiple reports. Job security. Lunchtime.

When dh came home at lunch time we discussed supper tonight. Salmon patties. I have boiled some potatoes to make mashed potatoes, because apparently salmon patties need mashed potatoes in them.

It's pouring rain here!

Flyby
Doing pretty good, last of laundry in dryer, need to remake bed, bathrooms have been swiped, all rooms picked up, dusted need to vacuum,have chicken baking for quesidillas for dinner tonight.
Taking a break for lunch then will tackle the kitchen, check big freezer and pantry to see what I have for dinners, plan what I can with whats on
hand and whats not, make grocery list will not shop till tomorrow as it is rainy and grey here.
D-Lady your criteria for a new mode of transportation sounds like what my Ddaughter and son-law had, she is short and wanted something high to deflect headlights blinding her at night and they both wanted something that would hold their dogs large crates, they had a truck but with the crates they could not put the camper shell on, they ended up getting a J**p Wran**gler it has 4 doors, it fits both crates in the back still having the middle seat in place.
Ok need to get back to work Dkid4 is working from home so don't have to head over there to get Dgrks off bus, just drop 3yr old Dgrk off.
Hope to be back later:)

(((LucyLee)))) I'm so sorry for the loss of your DSGM. I hope the funeral arraignments go smoothly.

crazy preacher..

We have one of those. Maybe unusual or unorthodox would better describe our preacher. Most of the preachers around this corner of the world are trained, educated and many attended seminary. Not our preacher. I think he breaks most of the "preacher rules" fairly often. A few years ago a lady in the church was dismayed by his clothes he wore while preaching, so she bought him about a dozen shirts and had them starched and ready to wear when he arrived at the church to preach. He did that a few times, but it wasn't long before he "forgot" to change into the starched dress shirts. The weird thing is though....he is one of the most sought out preachers in this area. He does 2-3 weddings and funerals a week that are by people not in our church. I can't count the number of times he goes performs ceremonies at other churches where the regular preacher is left out of the ceremony. I can only imagine it doesn't sit well with some of the area preachers that this crazy unorthodox cowboy preacher is asked to take over the service in their church. It is almost impossible to get a picture of him when he is preaching because he is moving so fast. He jumps fences, runs up the stairs, and is always on the move while he preaches. He gave up Red Bull for Lent. We thought that might slow him down. Nope. He is still high energy and a tad bit crazy. You never know what he is going to do next. But I've learned to love him just the way he is. Our church has tripled in attendance since he started preaching there. I guess I'm not the only one that likes a little bit of crazy.

DS9 lost another tooth. Only 8 more to go! At his last dentist appt, DS9 asked them to count how many baby teeth he had left. He wanted to plan his purchases with the money earned from losing teeth. :roll:

DGD6 has lost 5 of her front teeth lately and the new teeth are in various stages of coming in. She has a fantastic smile but it will look better after the new teeth get in place.
