Morning all
Wow horrible night sleeping..
Rebecca ,I understand..I just don't get involved in politics ..so there's that..and only post pictures of SMiles here
Supposed to have yucky afternoon weather this afternoon. im sticking with sucking down the fluids..and I picked up Alfie..4 -
Max and John enjoyed themselves with lunch around the corner, and then Crazy Golf and an ice cream from Marocco on the beach. Not a cheap day out though!! John was swallowing a little.
Lisa - It's the same thing with all these activities. Music, various courses, art, sport, swimming, theatre club etc etc. Of course they are talented with all the wonderful opportunities they have, which must cost a fortune! There are a lot of poor kids, even in wealthy Brighton, who never get a chance to shine.
I remember having to drop out of horse riding and clarinet because my parents couldn't afford decent equipment. I did manage to carry on with drama, because it was my mother's love.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

It will be interesting to see if I lose any weight here. I manage one meal a day, when Eli is napping. Its usually a sandwich. Its in the upper 90's here, not used to the heat. Drinking more water! Not as sore as I was first day. I am not physically ready to care for these two, but I am doing my best. I am numb from all the mess almost. I am resisting to clean. I never had to plow thru so much stuff, even when I cared for three kids. Husband says I should be cleaning, but like I have to choose between being able to care for the kids or cleaning. The answer is clear. Husband can say all he wants but he is home not helping.
Hugs all!

Yes, I have just tried to concentrate on just keeping them safe, feed them, and love on them. All within a chaotic mess. I need to talk with kids tonight about what they're going to do. I think watching them until Athena starts school is a bit daunting. They will still need to have a babysitter to drop off Athena and to watch Eli, so still the same time frame now, or when Athena starts. I can not be their solution.

Rebecca - Not an easy situation. And especially not when living in a constricted setting that has so much more chaos than your ordinary living environment. Just sending a lot of good thoughts, because there aren't a lot of easy answers.
Allie - All good thoughts for Tracy, too. I hope it's an easy pregnancy and delivery.
In case you're wondering what I was looking at all morning:
Four pieces done this morning, three more to do... Whee! There are reasons I do not do this to make a living.
Lots of reasons.
Later, y'all,
Love,

Just say no. 4 -
Allie – how wonderful. Bet it feels good. Good for you standing up about your brother’s court date
Debbie – yea for your mom!!! Let’s hope she doesn’t reconsider
Did a body pump DVD then the water. I usually do “my” thing and then join the class when it starts. Went to CVS but they didn’t have the Cheerios that I wanted. I should have gotten a rain check. Then went to Aldi, then in the pool. My neighbor came up to return a dish I’d loaned her for the baby shower she had. Then went to Penney to pick up some more shorts, then the CVS here who didn’t have the cheerios so I got a raincheck
Rita – I wouldn’t go to a high school reunion. Same reasons, I never felt close to many of the students, only one or two
Margaret – didn’t Lisa start a group for discussing the previous election?
Lisa – I agree, politics and religion I just don’t care to discuss. I have my views, others have theirs and I won’t change it, so why get upset about it? I look to Vince to just give me the highlights, and many times I just let it go in one ear and out the other.

I have talked with son in a light hearted way, that there is a reason grandparents don't watch kids full time. We just don't have it in us! I love them to pieces though. Its that sharp incite that I haven't used in 22 years that's hard. He has researched getting signed up for a childcare representative with the state. I told him her mom needs to step up and not just me.

Barbara - it’s a shame that pets get ailments like us humans to deal with.
Heather - you do so well at writing consistently. I love reading about Max and John’s relationship. It’s so important to have that.
I look at how far we’ve come as women and really how far we have to go.
Annie - it’s funny how so many of us dislike making phone calls now. I personally don’t mind them at all, but no one in my family will talk on the phone.
It’s very hot here too and supposed to be for the next couple of weeks.
Glad your Dad’s hearing aid repair was done quickly.
I still use FB regularly. I do tend to “scroll on by” with posts I don’t agree with. I have my opinions and beliefs and feel everyone is entitled to theirs as well. I love this group because of the rules we have in place. I was raised not to talk politics or religion and I veer away from those subjects with most people.
Vicki - Have a wonderful trip.
Rita - my DH’s 40th class reunion should be this year. If they are having one he isn’t aware of it and wouldn’t be going anyway.
It would not be in his best interest to go home at this time. We looked at his Mom’s bank account on Monday and it seems his sister is playing fast and loose. The only thing we can do to help is report her for financial abuse, but his Mom would be defending her and then mad at us. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can feel we can do at this time. It makes me sick worrying for her.
I have never heard that word FIRGUN before but I love it!
Lisa - I have a friend here that believes that the doctors, nurses and pharmacists should be up on everything and it’s not her responsibility. She gets so angry when they do something. I’ve told her that no doctor keeps up anymore I don’t think.
Rodger used Align and had success with it. It was cheaper at Costco than anywhere.
Rebecca - it’s a lot to have responsibility for hours on end and the mess would get to me too. Hugs to you.
Allie - Those two months will fly by I bet.
My interview is at 10am I think I’m ready. I have printed the job posting, my resume and references. I also have some questions ready.
Michaela had her second day of ceramics camp today. She made a dragon hatching out of an egg. The technique today was using finger rubs. I’ll get a picture tomorrow of her three projects.
Then she went with me to ceramics tonight and painted these.
I think she’s going to need shelves in her room to put all of her stuff.
Except for ceramics we didn’t do much today. It’s very hot here.

It can be a bit overwhelming. I am also sleeping on an air mattress, so that's been interesting. I get maybe half the sleep I am used to.
