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

~*~ Aloha to all .... ~*~

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.

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,
