DYK gosh DH would flip big time if I set the thermostat on 62 in the summer...the electric bill would be sky high for sure!!! He use to turn the A/C up but then I would get heat sores or Jamie would get bloody noses (sometimes me too)

DYK how is Aly's cough now, has it improved? Jamie still coughs & blows her nose....I told her if she stays up until midnite she needs to sleep in & needs to get adequate rest so she's better by the time school starts on the 5th

DYK maybe we'll get our hair cut again around the same time, wouldn't that be such a coincidence?? I may have to get mind cut during the summer lacrosse season...its hard being outside in hot, humid weather w/long hair

DYK my brother took his family to the Tetons on a horseback riding trip a few yrs ago....when he went to the Grand Canyon they did one of those burro canyon trips too.


DYK my DH wants to go whitewater rafting on the Colorado...Jamie is a bit young for that so we have waited

Gabby has had a stuffy nose the entire vacation.She really does not have a cough though.She was complaining about her ear for a day of so,but that is becasue teh child still refuses to blow her nose,she just snuffs.Dh and I really did not want her going to the sleep over tonight,since she has been up late the entire vacation,but we caved and let her go.She can sleep in the next few day,or at least until Sunday when I will get her up at 8 or so,so she can fall asleep at a decent time.At least Dale was off this week so I did not have to drag Gab to the hospital with my mom and I every day,so she slept until 10 all week.My mom does not have to go back until Monday now.

DYK right after I posted to you I took the girls out....since the Nat'l Xmas Tree is across the street from the White House I took a pic of the girls in front of the White House (so tourist like but I'm sure the girls will have fun showing their friends)

DYK she said she was ok & DH said the same (he took them since he was off work Tues). The sports trainer, a guy named Evan, noticed she was coughing & asked if she was ok. She didn't want him to know she had a cold so she didn't say anything but I made sure that DH took Powerade/Gatorade for her.


DYK recently in the NYT there was an article saying exercise when one was ill w/a cold or virus was fine as long as one didn't over do it & took it easy esp if one didn't feel well during the exercise

Aly has $40 to spend at B&N. I have $10 to spend at Books A Million.

There's a book coming out in Jan that Aly really wants (Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3), and one that I really want also (Scat, a new Carl Hiaasen YA book...HATE most of his non-fiction work, he's anti-Disney, and did not like his adult works either, but LOVED LOVED LOVED Hoot & Flush, his YA books). I told her she could get the new Andrew Clements book she was interested in, but it's $16.99 (only hardcover), even with my 20% discount, it's way more than Scholastic. Scholastic has it (hardcover) for $8, but I had enough bonus points to get it free, so I did that last night, be in in a week or two.
