I got it into my head some time ago that I’d like a new bracelet to go with my medic alert tag. Not that I don’t like the one I have, but it’s nice to have a change once in a while. The cost, however, has kept me from buying one. But recently, Boy #1 has been making necklaces and earrings and little tags to hang on his backpack (which actually went back to the county, seeing as it was…
Spent the afternoon at my brother’s, celebrating his birthday. My SIL made a cake and icing with Splenda; they were both very tasty! We gave him a Boston Red Sox cap and a SC t-shirt. He seemed to be happy with both of them. We watched the latest Pink Panther movie, the one with Steve Martin. I couldn’t hack it; there’s only so much stupid I can take. But there was actually a plot, and Clouseau solves the case by…
The mail brought all three report cards to our door today. I was pleased with my kids overall. The Girl had reason to be unsure about her final exam in Geometry; she got a D, which I don’t think surprised her. It brought her semester grade down to a high C, but her final grade overall was a B, which we can most certainly live with. It also means she’ll be staying in the honors math next year. She got…
The stray dog is gone. I bought a cheap chain collar, and a chain to keep him from running away, and he stayed tied up to one of our trees last night. Whined off and on during the night, but he was still here in the morning. The kids had christened him "Max", which was appropriate, I suppose. I called animal control this morning, and they came out this afternoon to pick the dog up. I wanted to make sure…
Yes, folks! It’s the last day of school here in Greenville County! I am soooo excited! It has been an odd day, to say the least, but not having to get up in the morning to tote the kids around will be so sweet! (At least until next week when Fine Arts camp begins…) Boy #2’s school had their award ceremony last Thursday. He brought home two awards: All A honor roll, and excellence in computer science. But he’d had…
***You Are Scooter*** Brainy and knowledgeable, you are the perfect sidekick. You’re always willing to lend a helping hand. In any big event or party, you’re the one who keeps things going. “15 seconds to showtime!” The Muppet Personality Test http://www.blogthings.com/themuppetpersonalitytest/ Not exactly what I would have thought.
Yes, it was birthday celebrations today for my Girl and me! The birthdays were during the week, but as is our family tradition, we got together on Sunday to actually celebrate. We had the party here because my Michigan BIL has been here this weekend. He’s moving on tomorrow, sadly, on the day when Hubby might be off (I’ve forgotten to ask – I’ll do that when the family gets back from their shopping run). My bro and SIL and…
Yeah, I’m in pain again. Haven’t had it like this for a long time. I think it’s partially due to weather; there are thunderstorms heading our way. But some of it, I’m sure is due to lack of glucose control. I tried to be good today. Went grocery shopping, which required a lot of walking around and lifting things.And I stood while folding clothes. Ate well at breakfast (maybe a little too well) and had a light lunch. Dinner was stroganoff, but…
Yeah, still stuffed up, though not as bad today as last night. Had a really bad night sleeping, and so did Hubby. I finally figured out that the stuff that said it was the same as "Sudafed SE" wasn’t the same ingredient as regular Sudafed (which is probably why it was on the shelves and not behind the pharmacist’s counter, like regular Sudafed needs to be these days) So I sent Hubby out after some this afternoon. He got me…
This congestion has gotten worse to an extent. I thought I had it licked the other day when I started using nasal spray to clear out my sinus passages. Problem is, you can’t take them for more than three days without getting a “bounceback” effect. In other words, use them too much and you get worse! I think that’s what’s happened to me here. The congestion is worse than it was and now affects both sides of my sinuses. So,…
