Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

DYK we actually are working on a reconciliation.

DYK he's dying to be back together, but now I'm the holdout.

DYK we were in couples therapy, but I decided I wanted to take a break, and just go to individual therapy for awhile.

dyk I just sent this email to ladies group --

We are rescheduled for Thursday 6pm-9pm. I hope everyone can make it. Please do not forget to bring your $10 for the paints. ;-)

For the shirts -- you want 100% cotton or as close to 100% as you can get. A quality of shirt a step up from the ones sold at Hobby Lobby. It can be scoop neck, styled, button up, collared, etc.

Here are some examples of the styles and techniques we can do!!

Other things to bring: a piece of cardboard that can go inside your shirt and fit tightly so you can paint both sides without having to wait for one to dry or worry about the paints/water bleeding through, any type of cardboard will work.

For the techniques: (these are all optional, just extras for us)

empty jars for mixing colors and water (baby food jars?)
spray bottles
foam brushes
bubble wrap
sponges (my mom bought 4 different size sponges)
beads
Okay, I think that's all for now. Check out the links so you can see what we are going to be creating!!!!

dyk how m uch fun is THIS going to be? We're doing a potluck that night, too.

dyk I was a pseudo-nurse today for my friend's daughter -- hmm, did I already tell y'all this?

dyk I went flying in at 9:25, checked her, dosed her, gave her the water and her cheese stick (sugar was 427) and was back out the door -- her to class and me to my meeting at 9:29

dyk then my meeting ran long so I went flying BACK into the school (HERS she and Abi are not at the same one -- but they are less than 1 mile apart) at 12:05 to do her sugar check for lunch -- checked, dosed lunch, gave her a hug and was out the door at 12:10.

dyk then her 2pm check -- I talked the school secretary through it (Alisha can check on her own) with what to do to supervise and her sugar was 153 so they just sent her back to class.

dyk in total, Alisha spent LESS than 15 minutes dealing with her diabetes all day -- and we did it ENTIRELY in between class changes -- she was into her seat with her class at 9:30 and then 2:02 not missing a thing.

dyk the nurse is about to get another visit b/c outside of treating persistent lows (that require Alisha to stay there 15 minutes to recheck that it came up) THIS is how it should go EVERY Time -- Alisha has been missing up to an HOUR of classtime total per day with how slow thenurse is, the nurse is not prepared, does it wrong was creating lows by overcorrecting highs, etc

dyk oh and I never finished my motivation thing about Abi

dyk I got the new oriental trading magazine and am going to place an order -- and get a mixed bag of "trinkets" *(ugh I hate trinkets -- Abi loves them, lol) and use those to motivate her to recreate some good habits on things that have becomes "headbutting" situations -- like eating the dinner prepared for her

dyk Abi just has to know what is in it for her.

dyk the psychologist called her "ego-centric"

dyk I laughed and said, "Is that a polite way of saying selfish?"

dyk but apparently, no they are very different.
