And I want to keep it that way:) DD got her mortgage and will be moving soon:) I love her dearly but she's 33 going on 93 and cramps my free spirit:) I bought ds one of those triple laundry hampers...wanna bet where his clothes wind up? In a heap on the floor!

We still do not have a surgery date for Mac. I am in a good mood so I will not go into what happened there. Today Mac found a bag of chips I bought a while back and started sneaking them. I threw them out back for the birds and he nearly *hit! Its really pitiful seeing a grown man and sparrows fighting:)

We are down to the wire with homeschooling. Ds is finishing up his last course tomorrow! His marks for the health course came back today and all his tests were marked 100%. Its in the genes:) Had it not been for a change in school policy he would have graduated last April but hey, its happening:) As soon as he types his last sentence I am filling out the paperwork for Temple University for Real Estate and he's going. He's not thrilled but I gave him 2 choices...go or I break his legs...he's going:) I let all my other kids make their own decisions and now they are coming back telling me they wished I made them go when I wanted them to. I am not making that mistake again.

Oldest ds was accepted into the Navy and will be going to the Great Lakes for basic. For some reason I knew he'd get an aircraft carrier. When he tested they told him he was skilled for being a dentist or a medic. He chose underwater welding. He loves SCUBA diving and always wanted to learn welding so he's thrilled.

My walking is in a holding pattern for now. We have a murderer/rapist running amok and we have been warned to walk in pairs. No one around here wants to walk with me b/c I go out too early and walk too far. I am taking full advantage of this and walking in Malls, weightlifitng carrying bags, Mac is pulling out his hair:) Last week I walked all through Boscov's with this gorgeous carpet for in front of my sofa. I bought new dishes in the Sonoma pattern and got curtains and table cloth to match. Ds said the house will look like Martha Stewart decorated it:)

This morning I was awakened at 3 by gunshots. I have no idea where they came from and didn't get up to investigate. When we finally move what will I do for excitement? For some reason excitment seems to follow me so I'm not too worried:) Like I said things are quiet for now.

Sending prayers to all who need them and wishing us all a happy weekend. Hugs, Bernie

Bernie that was a good long post! Being quiet is usually a good thing unless it is a kid and then you know that means trouble LOL.

That is good that yoru dd is moving out... you all ned your space and when they are that age we need it even more.

Oh Oh Mac got caught huh did he... well I feel for those birds... bet he was none too happy!

Way to go for your ds... I bet he is glad it is almost over with.. he should be proud of himself. I love your choices either do it or else!

Well have a great weekend and please keep us updated with Macs stuff!

Hugs, Lor

Bernie copngrats to your ds and keeping my fingers crossed that dd will get moved very quickly. Also sure hoping that Mac will soon be able to have his surgery and be back on the road to good health.

The things you bought for the house sound very nice you will enjoy them. Enjoy the rest of your peaceful Friday afternoon and hope you have a great weekend.

Love

Mary

I like your exercise program, Bernie!

Congrats to your dd and ds. She will be so happy in her own home, don't you think? And it's great that he has something to look forward to that will have a great future.

Be sure and take before and after pictures of your home. I always forget to do that and it makes me so mad.

Take care.

Martha Stuwart huh? she has some neat stuff, and ideas. I bet it will look beautiful!!Yesterday we had a tornado go through the park, hit one trailer, wasnt real bad, pealed bacl the siding, Veronica and I were at the Mall when it went through, of course school clothes,,, ICK!!! so expensive! she got in Fashion Bugs modeling show the 9th,, but then they try to get you to buy the outfits you model, at a discount, she did this last year in Indiana, and I ended up spending some $$,,I cant afford it right now, with no job! glad to hear the kids are moving ahead, and yep those clothes will probably end up in a pile, I knw my kids, put a laundry basket in there rooms and where do I find the clothes,,,, not in the basket,, have a wonderful day,, love ya's,,,,hugs......Pam

Bernie,

I don't even know where to start with a reply here. So much going on in your life right now. It is to bad that children don't understand the unwritten law..."Moms know best" untill they are parents thenselves.

Sending prayers that Mac has his surgery and is much better soon. Does sound like your getting enough excersize for both of you tho. Will we be seeing you on tv in the womens body building contest next?

May all be tranquil for a bit longer. Unless of course, you want to stir things up. LOL

Hugs,

Rain
