He requested that for his Christmas present. Sheesh. it is expensive. But then, heck, he puts up with my shyte all the time. I am going to book it for Thursday. That way, Ann will be there the next day and we can all play. I think kayaking together would be lovely! YEA PLAYTIME!!!
Heck yeah! I am so excited to go to KW! I think hubby's going to come with--we just need to find someone to be with the kids. which is not as easy as you would think it should be. Just drop your kiddos off at my house.
Careful what you ask for! I have 2 very strong personalities (aka stubborn and thick skulled). I mean darling. Just adorable kids. So when should I drop them off? I can have them to your house this weekend. That should give them plenty of time to get comfortable before the race in January, right? I promise I'll come pick them up after the HM. How's that sound? |

MotoQueen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ironannekidd - 2012-12-05 6:27 AM Because I NEVER talk about my kids... Keri recently retested for their guided reading groups. She moved up 2 levels! She was on the same level all of last year. Since she is getting help in school she enjoys reading now. I am so happy for the kid, she is doing so wel!!! We've talked about Caleb and the bullying, right? Caleb and I play a game on our iDevices. In this game you can be part of a Clan, and there is a chat feature. I am a clan leader, Caleb and a few others are Elders. There is a mix of kids and adults in our clan. Anyway... last night Caleb was on chatting with people, when I couldn't. One of the kids said he was having a rough night. Caleb asked him what was wrong. They got to talking, and it turns out the kid is being bullied. He was beat up after school. Caleb told him he needs to tell his mom. The kid said he tried but she doesn't really listen. Caleb told him to tell a teacher he trusts, a friends mom, someone who will listen. He told him that if there wasn't anyone there he could tell that Caleb would have his mom (me) contact this boys mom. Caleb said he was confident I would push until things were taken care of. He told the kid to hang in there, and take care of himself. The kid is going to Disney World for the next week to see his grandparents, so I won't know until he gets back how things are going. I hope it he gets it worked out, and I would contact his mom if he asked me to. I have good kids. Anne, you do have great kids. As a reader and a librarian, I am happy to hear about Keri's progress in reading. That is awesome. And, Caleb is an outstanding young man. You are raising him right. Even with all the crap that he has to put up with (bullies, etc), it is so awesome to see him reaching out to another and sharing the wisdom that he has learned. Growing up is tough, grownup world not that much better. |

MotoQueen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA? HA, Santa still comes to my house and the baby is now 28. Seriously, I'm not really sure when my kids stopped believing for Santa has never stopped coming. I know that they know since the oldest is now a Santa herself for her kids. Santa always wrapped the gifts at our house, but he had special wrapping paper different from what I would give the family to use, so no confusion regarding it being the same. I did not wrap what went into the stockings though. My daughter does the opposite. She and my SIL wrap all the little stuff in the stocking and leave the big presents unwrapped. The whole unwrapped makes sense to me with her having 4 kids, that is a lot of wrapping to do. I honestly don't remember if Santa left them wrapped or unwrapped when I was growing up, because we did not get a whole lot of stuff. |
