Bad news: Henry lost it and cried like a baby when I told him that he couldn't play in the water this afternoon.

Good news: Henry made a 100/A+ on his latest Social Studies test so I gave him a new pack of silly bands! Yay for an A on a SS test!

WTG Henry!!!!!

Silly bands are big here too, all the way up to Travis's grade (and maybe older but I dont really know any 7th and 8th graders)

Personally I think they are silly. hahaha

I think that I should have been the one who invented them so I could be rich now.

Oh, well.

Kimberly's ds is in 7th grade, and she told me he takes silly bands to school and trades them for money and snack food.

I have no interest at all in making dinner tonight.

I want an eggroll, but I am doing MSBL and should not have an eggroll. I should have a salad with chicken in it. But I have to make something for Lucas and Nikki which is what I really dont feel like doing.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

Travis has traded money and food for them, and traded them back for money and food. I don't even get what the point of them is LOL

seeing the mention of potato salad just reminded me that i can go make egg salad.

YUM!

i hope someone's around later.

i'm bored and need to clean the house and grade papers but i don't feel like doing either. blah.

Egg Salad is something I've never made, but I'm sure I'd love it..and seeing as how I've got all these fresh eggs from the in-law's chickens, I need to do something with them. Do you have a good recipie?

I will say that I've learned how to make a pretty mean omelet though, lol

um, it's pretty complicated.
chop up eggs. add s&p. add mayo (or in your case miracle whip). eat.

wow! That's too hard for me

And I use mayo too, thank you very much ;)

In fact, when I make potato salad, I use miracle whip, a little mayo, plus a little sour cream

So good!

I looked online and found a ton of recipies, most of them pretty simple, some had crazy stuff in it.

I guess it's like anything else, you just put in what you like. Have you tried a little mustard or sweet relish in yours? I saw that in one of them

no, b/c idl those in potato salad so idt i'd like it in egg salad either.

Nikki leaves for Italy on Friday. I don't know who is freaking out more, me or her (her or I???). I suppose it will be good practice for when she goes to school in the fall but seriously we spend hours talking and gossiping and I am really going to miss her.

allison. that sounds like a perfect scenario.

what will happen during the summer? is luke doing extended school year?

He will do extended through most of July and Nikki will be home too. I may have a week or two to deal with at the end of August when she leaves for school (and by leave I mean moves into the dorm 20 minutes away LOL)
And there is a good chance Joey will live here by then (hee hee hee) and depending on what kind of job he gets he will be able to help too :)

holy smokes, this is a lot of info in one post.

nikki is living with you?

and joe is moving?

Yup Nikki has been with me since the day her father moved out. He is not happy about it but there is nothing he can do (I do not get any kind of support for her though and can't get any)

Travis lives with Quint right now (moved in with him when we each got our condos) but I still have legal custody, well for two more weeks at least, we go to court on the 20th.

As soon as my divorce is final and he finds a job he will be here. I would much rather move up there but can't because of the kids. If I can get some kind of transportation he may just transfer to Outback here for awhile until he can find a better job.

Um I have no idea re: tour group. It's a choir trip they we will be singing at mass at St Peters and Nikki has solos in other concerts they will be doing.

They are going to Rome, Venice and someplace else that is slipping my mind right now.

LMAO @ the silly bands = sex acts

so weird that travis is with 5 and nikki is with you. is nikki at least working to help out? 5 is a d1ck for not giving you money to help support her btw.

when you go to court, what will you do about custody?

and joe works at outback? i'll take an order of cheese fries, a victoria's filet, and a side of garlic mashed. oh yeah and a house salad hold the tomatoes. sooooooooooo jealous about that one btw.

Nikki worked her ass off to pay for her trip. It was $2700 she paid for $1700 plus spending money and all the stuff she needed to buy to bring with her. Her father gave her the last $1000 and has not let her forget it.

5 believes he shouldn't have to pay child support at all because I don't work full time (yes he is effing warped). What happens in court depends on 5's attitude. Originally we had our whole agreement written out and ready to be signed now he is refusing to sign anything, our divorce is contested and he is making my life hell. We will see if this changes. The plan is for us to have joint custody with me as Lucas's custodial parent and him as Travis's. It's a all a HUGE PITA

Yup he works at Outback in MA and can put in to transfer. The closest outback is 20 minutes away from here though and we have crappy bus service so I would have to have a car for him to be able to do that. I told him I need him to bring me takeout except its almost 2 hours on the train to get here LOL

Boots and Bananas · Guru

Excellent, Nikki just left and said not to worry about dinner for her and Lucas requested pizza bites and salad. YAY for not having to cook.
