GHOULIES moving towards the islands. (Page 39)

It was pretty positively strep throat. I tend to get really persistent infections that lurk in the depths of my sinuses and ears that are hard to treat. that is how I got the tedenosis in my shoulder last year from antibiotics.

Do not be like me and blindly pay bills without really looking at them.

My past 2 cell phone bills have been HIGH. The initial bill I thought was because I added Caleb's plan. Last month I wasn't sure, but I paid it. I just got my new bill and it was $203. I thought that wasn't right so I went online and actually looked at the bill. They were still charging me for my individual plan, which was supposed to have been dropped AND the shared plan. I have now been credited for the overages and the individual plan has been dropped. That will save me $$ every month. That's more play money for me!

Good morning, Dee!

How was your marathon client yesterday?

That sounds like a GREAT way to spend some time off!

He was actually pretty easy to work on because he only wanted a medium pressure.  However, the appointment was at the end of my day and was two hours.  In fact I usually end at 6:00 pm and this one went to 7:30 pm.  So I was pretty tired by the time I got home. 

I am guessing that he is in his sixties and he does about 10 marathons a year.  I don't know how fast he goes, but still.  Interesting!

Speaking of running...

Nike announced they are putting on a HM in DC on April 28. Registration begins late October. I'm going to try and get in. It benefits the Lymphoma & Leukemia society. Being that I've been told I have a very high likelihood of developing leukemia I think I would like to run for them.

Melissa!!! I was going to text you the other night, but then I thought "what if she has an important interview of exam in the morning?". So I didn't. It was late. But with my luck you were probably up anyway. LOL.

Melissa! dee! Robin! Ann! Hi again guys! 

Well the homework saga continues...

Dear Hubby arrived home this afternoon from his trip, just before I had to head to work for the night. The Boy had a big Book Report to write--plus a small spelling assignment, and a small math worksheet correction to do, plus review the poem he is supposed to memorize and pass off by tomorrow. All of this is written down, in the planner the school gives all of the kids. The teacher has them write down what needs to be done in the planner every day. Every. Day. The kid is in 5th grade. This is not new, he's had the same type of planner since 1st grade. Hubby actually looked at me and said "you have to teach me how to use his planner". I was dumbfounded. You just look at it and see what's written, then ask him to show you each item when it's done. It's not rocket science. Then when it's all done you sign off the bottom of the page where it says "parent signature". 

Needless to say, when I got home from work just before 11, The Boy was still up, by himself, trying to finish his homework. He barely got the rough draft of his report written. Hubby was holed up in the bedroom, surfing the internet. And the boy's dinner was still sitting on the counter, barely touched. Grrrr.

I've gotta say, I'm impressed with how seriously my boy is taking his work lately. He had even written me a note asking me to wake him up early in the morning so he can finish up the final draft of his report before school.
