GM!

The highlight of the day according to Koda is some new train show on Disney this morning.  He has been talking about it forever.

I get to finally hand off the campus duty phone so that I am not grounded to within 10 minutes of campus.  We will live life exciting and go all the way to Bangor today, lol.

Trying to shake a winter funk.

Sonya, good luck with potential opportunity manager :)

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that.

:(

That makes my heart hurt. I hope everything works out perfectly.

My plans are to finish up with the great toy sweep of 2010.

I've been working on it for 2 days already.

Rob and the boys are skiing so I'm taking advantage of not having the boys around.

It should rain all week too so it's still totally dark out so I hope that Sarah sleeps in this morning.

April - good luck on coupon shopping with the kids. My kids are so unruly that I can NOT think with them.

Sonya - SUPER good luck vibes headed your way for the meeting today.

Morning!

Jennifer - You've got my prayers.

April - GL shopping with the kids.

Everyone - Hi!

We're all home today too.

We missed a visit from Nana and Granddad (ils) yesterday so I'm taking the kids out to Olive Branch to visit with Nana today.

The kids are excited.

Morning girls.

I'm at work. Blah to that.

We are supposed to have nasty weather alllll week. Rain, snow, wind, etc. I'm hoping it holds off until i'm on days off after tomorrow.

I think Bryson might have finally turned the corner on the croup. It wasn't just a like one or two night thing. He had four nights of waking up a lot and waking up through his naps and the barky cough. Poor guy. I am contemplating never leaving our house again except Hannah's in school so it wouldn't do any good!

Hannah and I had a great girls weekend away. Build a Bear, a birthday party for the my friends son, then disney on ice yesterday!

An old boyfriend from 23 years ago (yes 23 years ago...I was 14, he was 17) located me on FB.
After I broke up with him, he showed up at my foster home with a gun threatening to kill the foster parents if they didn't let him see me....me and the other guy that lived there were hiding in an upstairs closet and called the police. He left before the police got there then disappeared for a week. When he came back, his probation officer and my therapist and his mother and a cop showed up at school and we all had a meeting. By the end of the week I was moved to a different foster home in a city 45 minutes away. I couldn't go to school for almost a month bc he was stalking me. When I finally did go to school, my foster dad or one of his police friends would escort me to and from school for the next 3 months....I culdn't even hang out with the new friends I was making bc he would show up....which as you can imagine can only make you a FREAK! I finally got some freedom in the last month of the school year.

Thank goodness for "block". What worries me though is that when he decided he liked me back then, he found out all kinds of info about me (DOB, where I was born, the fact i had been in foster homes before, where my father lived...he admitted to following me home and sitting at the school yard across from where I was living for weeks before actually talking to me).

It's crazy.
