I cry at some commericials, and many movies.
I feel for you. I'm a bit like that myself. I'm currently installing some software in a hospital, it specialises in convalescence for burned children. It's not like I burst into tears in every corridor, but it's moving.

Yesterday, I spent the day at the hospital...my son is in ICU with acute pyleonephritis (kidney infection). He passed out at work WEDNESDAY and was taken by ambulance to the ER where he stayed overnight until YESTERDAY at 9am when they moved him to ICU. They finally called his father and sepdaughter and she called me. She gave me a ride to the hospital and we stayed up there most of the day.

I can barely walk today. I called the ICU and the nurse said my sone had a restful night, is keeping liquids down, and is sleeping. They are going to move him a private room today, as soon as one opens up. So I'm not going to try to visit him today since he's just going to sleep all day, anyhow.

So much to endure at times, Judith. Life is a gift and a curse, filled with unexpected delights and terrors. Every good wish for your son and that your delights will always outnumber the other.

My lands, Judith, that's awful. Give him my best wishes.

Good gawd, JaH, you are on a roll. Best wishes to you and your son.

We had the best first week of school we've had in several years, and I think it's going to be a great school year. We're about 20 students short, and if we don't get the numbers back up and pass a millage we will be forced to consolidate; but hopefully the numbers will increase in the next year or two and the millage will pass. By the end of this school year we should know our fate for the next several years at least. And I can relax, because I'll be in a position to retire or go to part time, though I'll be heartbroken if the school goes, whether I need a job there or not.

It's neat working with Mose. As I thought, I hardly see her. She loves it, but she's drained. The first year of teaching is exhausting, and the first week of every year wears Bob and me out.

I'm so glad she got the job...I can just see her walking the halls of the school!

How is your eating plan coming? ;-)

And how does it feel without your friend? We were chuckling over her "school resumés" remark just yesterday. Have you talked with her since she started her new position?

After a week of lurching around on this boot, I am finally going to go buy a "tall" shoe(pair) for my right foot to even out the 2" difference...my right hip is starting to give me fits. Since all my shoes are flat, the need for something with a little elevation seems like a good idea.

22525. arkymalarky - 8/26/2007 8:54:03 PM

It's better now that I'm in a routine and Keoni's biscuits are gone!

I told her I'd told y'all that story, and she was mortified. "You told them THAT?!" She is so funny. But she's SWAMPED with her new job. I haven't called her this weekend, but before school started she was working about 14 hours a day getting kids registered. I'll give her a couple of weeks and see if she's still going like that.

judithathome, best wishes for your son. He might be black & blue, but he's yours. Unhurt. Delivered on your doorstep.
What more could a mom want?

22527. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:23:27 AM

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

22528. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:24:34 AM

All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

22529. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:26:19 AM

Ah, christ, that make me look like a lunatic.



For the record,I'm not.

22530. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:27:24 AM

Despite the misspelling.

22531. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:28:57 AM

I do not care what you all think of me

22532. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:30:46 AM

I know south from east, which is what a lot of office-jobbers can't say.


Tra la la, goodnight.

22533. alistairconnor - 8/27/2007 8:33:42 AM

Well you should care what we think of you. I think very well of you, Ulgine.

Sweet dreams.

O alistairconnor, my husband changed the marital bedsheets for the first time in 20 years.

And I noticed when I put them into the wash, they had burn marks on them.

What should I do?

Congratulate him on his smoky sex?
Shun him on his loose morales?

22536. Ulgine Barrows - 8/27/2007 8:47:08 AM

We break each other's heart every day
