* whew * I am really dragging tonight... took a long nap, but I still plan to get exercise in before bed. I should be able to sleep well tomorrow night, also, but Thursday, as I've told y'all before, I'll be on my own w/dgson -- at least until the wee hours.
Oh my goodness...
the worries a new grandbaby can give an obsessive new grandma... just read in USAToday that 8 children died in one week after being forgotten & left in hot cars!
I had already mentioned this danger to ds several weeks ago, and his response was something like, "How stupid do you think we ARE???" But of course, none of the people who have suffered this unbelievable tragedy were likely to consider themselves stupid. * sigh *
First Day of Last Year
Well... one thing I will NOT miss is getting my room set up at the beginning of school. When they re-do the floors, the floors look SOOO beautiful... BUT... the furniture in the room looks like it was stirred w/a huge electric mixer. NOTHING is anywhere NEAR where it should be.
Add to my thankful list:
Thankful for wonderful dfriend, assistant football coach, who helped move my filing cabinets back to their correct places.
I will miss catching up w/dfriends after summer break. I told them I might just come back on the first day of school to hear all their stories again next year!
My classes are likely to be pretty crowded this year... especially my newspaper staff period, which works MUCH better when it's a small group... AND a "reading remediation" class that is going to be filled with low level, low motivated, struggling students. We'll probably ALL be struggling through THAT. Thankful it's 2nd period of the day -- get it over early!
Glad to hear
Kathryn feels like eating good stuff again!
(((
Twins))) I don't envy you the positition of being in the middle of all the temple drama...
Nancy -- I'm in the same situation as you w/cold temps in church. I always want to have some sort of sweater or sleeve, at least.
And, like
Harriet, I do not want to see my minister of music, or preacher, in cargo pants & tank top. Our preacher actually HAS made "casual summer" a year-round event, and I can't remember the last time we saw him in a tie. He MIGHT wear a jacket, but not with a tie... usually wears a polo-style shirt. This, as you can imagine, is very disconcerting to the true "old school" Methodists, who would really like to see the preacher in his ROBE. Growing up as I did, in a little country Baptist church, it doesn't bother me so much.
I do wear pants sometimes on Sunday mornings, but that sorta bothers the "old school" Methodist I'm married to, so I don't do it often.
Other than that one hour on Sunday morning, and the occasional wedding or funeral, you will not see me wearing that instrument of the devil, either!
Sooo glad to hear things are going well for LO,
OKay!!! You have so much to be proud of! You have truly been an instrument from Heaven in that little boy's life -- as well as your other grandsons'. I hope dgs will someday want to talk to me as much as your teen boys do you!
Waving to
all... and continuing to think of
Indiana sooo much!!!
Silly boys.....they can call me anytime and talk, they don't have to save it all up for when we are eye-2-eye. 
DH and I both have good feelings about his teacher and classroom environment.
