I'm so excited. We are having a kid free weekend this weekend. That has not happened in a LONG time!!

I'm also nervous though, becuase I haven't been away from M2 in so long. He seems to really be attached to me! I'm afraid he won't want to stay at my mom's!!

He'll be really upset if he finds out where we are going.

We are going to put in bay and he loves it there. We usually take him with us, but we wanted on weekend without him.

We will drop him off at my mom's Friday night and pick him up sunday morning. So it's really only all day saturday that he'll be there.

you have to pay for busing here unless you live 2+miles from school (which we luckily do).

Yes, the schoolbus ride is free but if you live close to the school, there is no bus service offered. You walk or your parents (or somebody else) drives you.

That sounds wonderful.

I wish Glen would want to do something like that.

Ditto here; Holly just barely lives too close to be able to ride the bus (no service within 3 miles, I think it is). If she did ride, it would be free.

Hi, Mel!

Sunshine · Guru

Hi, Robin! smile

It is POURING down rain, and I'm so glad.

I'm not usually one to complain about the weather but I've been getting overheated the past several days--lightheaded, dry mouth, nausea, bad headache--even though I've been drinking water like crazy.

Maybe, maybe this rain will get the temps back down in the 90's where they belong.

Our bus is free and we could walk to the school in 7 minutes.

Peyton and Benjamin (our across the street neighbors) are here playing with my boys.

Peyton is going into the 2nd grade, and Benjamin is going into Kindergarten. Benjamin was in Mark's preschool class.

We've always lived across the street from each other and been "friendly"-ish but this past year, since the little ones were in school together, we've really gotten to know each other.

It's so fun!

And their mom is great. Her house is a wreck just like mine so neither of us cares if the other sees it.

And the kids play fairly well together.

Robin · Guru

Come here and talk to me.

I don't feel like loading the dishwasher.

But I guess I will.

Maybe you people will be back here after that.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

I had to do actual work for a little bit.

I'm here now.

Robin · Guru

I didn't load the dishwasher.

I watched a dvr'ed episode of DOOL.

I tried to watch a second one but it was pre-empted by Lorenzen Wright's memorial service.

Am I the only one who thinks it's disrespectful and/or tacky to televise a memorial service?

Of course I'm also selfishly annoyed because it pre-empted my show.

Robin · Guru

I think it's time for Peyton and Benjamin to go home but it's still raining, and the kids are playing so well.

They're supposed to just stay for an hour.

Maybe their mom will call.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

I still have no babysitter option for next week.

Can someone tell me the going hourly rate for a teenager to babysit??

I have never ever had one before LOL

FoxyRoxy · Guru

Hello!!!

The boys started school today!!!!
Don't get me wrong but they need to get away from each other. They needed other kids around...

Erin · Guru

Hmm, we always had school supply lists as a kid. Maybe we just dont remember it as much since we werent paying? lol. I think teachers just get nothing these days and they have to get supplies somewhere :dunno.

oh, hi!

Kiera's school has a fundraiser where the PTA will buy the supplies for you, and then tack on an extra $5 for parents. A friend told me it was a must. So, I kept my eye open for it, checked the website, etc. Then I called and they said, oops, they already piut the order it. Thats not very good advertising for a fundraiser when you are looking for it and cant find it.

Marcos was very happy with his teacher and his classmates.
Diego was glad to see his friends.

And Manuel... well he is a teenager... he wanted to stay home and watch movies.
