April 21? Wow..... just too fast ladies....
But guess what? I slept good again last night! Wow! Again I woke up, several times, kept telling myself that I will fall back asleep quickly, and I did. I guess I didn't give my brain a chance to whack out! Gary is sleeping a bit better too- the last 2 nights he got in about 4-5 hours. Whew!

What a great challenge! And I was able to scrap a page for it.... ahhh feels so good to scrap again!
Not much going on here today- food shopping, working at home. I have to vote for the school budget. Its like I am going to push the Yes button to pass it, but I know it going to make my taxes go up. But they are going up whether the budget passes or not, and the kids' need education improvements. The state of NJ just isn't helping enough and the schools seem to be the first to suffer.
Sally- OT in a way- but out of curiosity, if you homeschool, do you get exemption for paying school taxes? I know it varies by state- like in NJ school taxes are built into state and local taxes. And in other states, it is a separate tax..... just curious...
Good morning Joslyn! When is your class all finished? Hope for your sake it is soon. We want to see that sweet boy!
Sandra- we are having the rainy April here too but I think it is going to stick around all week You are a cleaning machine girl!!
Dawn, I hope everyhting works out- my goodness, what a jerk that lady was. Is there nay way you canhave your doctor vouch for you?I know it sounds childish, but maybe having medical documentation in your file can help. If it is any consolation, Gary went through this before he went out on disability and he worked for his dad. In some ways that was even harder on him. Unless you are living with that pain, you have no idea how it feels. Yeah, just pretend?
And what do they gain by suspending you? That only means you are out of the office even *more*!!! Gah!
Sorry- I am just so upset for you!!
krisitn- oh lucky you getting to play in the dirt all weekend LOL Great find onthe wisteria! It always amazes me how expensive forsythia is to buy-- it gorws like crazy- all you need is a friend who can grab some of the baby shoots and you have your own plant for free.
I used to buy a lot of perrenials when I had money to spend LOL Now I am all about the barter system with friends and family. And a lot of thinning and moving around, works out perfect! And free!
Linda P! I have a plant question for you-- I hope you see this. I think my rhodadendhron is dying. I have this gorgeous rhod. It "came with the house. About 8 years ago, Gary decided he didn't like it and cut it off at the base :cry: It came back and is now at its original height- about 4-5 feet. It was fine all winter, and early spring, but now all of the leaves are turning brown, curling up and falling. I am getting the buds- lots of them- but the rest of the plant is slowly going brown. We have had lots of rain, so it isn't that.
Any ideas??
Its Playscape Day!!!! woo hoo!!! Hope it doesn't raintoday Kelly- but even if it does, you should take Nico out anyway. Whats a little rain and mud? He's washable!
Alicia! Great news on designing!!!! Bad news on the snow!!!!
Tali- Hugs to you and the kids- hope everyone is feeling lots better now. *fingers crossed* for a smooth sailing week. Roller derby sounds like fun! To watch that is-- not toplay! Unless I knew how to skate and was about 18 with flexible bones LOL
Clara - so osrry to hear about your sis. Some people are codependant and she sounds like she has it bad. I hope that you two get back on track.
Sally- How awful for your family with cancer I hope that she is able to get the care that she needs. My friend has two nephews with Duschene's and she has put on several benefits and has been very successful. I hope that her's is too. Have fun playing and singing! You will lift everyone's spirits!
Hugs Sara!!!
Hope you had a good night Lia! See ya!!
