Well, it was 11:15 p.m. when I posted that joke. I am a night owl - but, right now, I want to go back to bed......
- Have no milk
- Have no coffee
- 95 degrees expected today outside
- Need to do yard work
- Need to finish back to school shopping - yesterday's portion was $275. Haven't started shoes and clothing - just pens and paper and notebooks, etc. Should have everything for the whole year.
- Should eat some breakfast
- Have 3 - yup - three Powerpoint presentations to do for tomorrow. Tweaking sermon, doing announcements, doing songs. Baling out a guy who is too stressed out to see straight. Oh, and I am teaching Children's worship tomorrow....I think something is wrong w/ this picture.
- Need to work in house
- I want to take a nap
- Could go over there and watch Dr Who w/ son - some bonding time.
- I need domestic help/yard help/to be able to moderate my activities

Cinders,
God loves you, he'll help if you ask him to.
Announcing the birth of our 6th grandchild.
a boy -
8 lbs 3 oz.
19 in.
Large head.
Poor mother has many stiches, but overall she and baby are doing well.
Long labor T&L. My W said it was the most difficult she has seen. (Son asked her to come after it was apparent that it would be long, and difficult.) Of course, she has seen few compared to you.
DIL said the nurses were so kind, and helpful. I thought of you, and thanked God for you, and your "sisters" who care for those who need you.
Neak, if you have any problem with him, you can always rent the straight jacket that looks like a suit.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

AW, I like to have a good time too, but not quite like that.
I figure as long as my W is working, I should be working, so I don't sit around and drink beer.
I doubt if Aussie does it like that when he's home ???
I realize the songs are all in fun.
You did make me laugh though, I admit that.
W is gone to DIL's house to clean, and wash the sheets before the mama, and baby come home.
I have the yard weeded, and watered. Roasted and skinned the peppers so we can make chile rellenoes for dinner. Talked to son for about an hour (the new dad, he seems happy.)
Now I should really clean up the spare bedroom we use as an office.
It's nice to get a little work done some times. When W is home, she is always dragging me off to the other room, and I can't ever get anything done.
Cool here today. Only 92F (33C)
usually it averages 105 to 110 in August (40 to 43 C)
I'll take it when I can get it.
I want to know now Neakbro did at church.
CC, what are Saturdays like for you?
Oh, and I almost forgot. Neak, how is Jen these days? Did Neaksis get home from her trip and did she have a good time? I can't believe she hasn't come and reported all about it.
I read the things you report on, and I hope your own health is holding up well, and that you continue to get stonger both emotionally, and physically. I know you have your own mom and dad to talk to, but I hope you don't mind if I tell you what my own dad told me once.
We were living in a small two bedroom apt, and trying to buy a house. Mom and dad were visiting, and I said something like "It will be so much better when we get in the house, we'll have more room, and life will be easier."
Dad listened to me, then he said this: "There is always something that we think will make life better.
When I graduate from HS.
When I get my degree.
When we get married.
When we get our house.
When the kids get older
When I retire
The trick is " he said, "to enjoy whatever you are doing, where ever you are, even when it's hard. If you have a good attitude, if you love your family, and spend time with them, you can be happy no matter what is going on."
I don't think he took into account something major like your spouse having an A, but he did mean all the rest with the house, and the septic system, and the kids being kids.
It seems to me that you already live life like this. I think you are on the right track. There are lots of hard parts, but the good is far more than the bad when you look back.
Thanks everyone for what you teach me, and the times when you make me laugh.
I'll go yell at them AW, maybe I can teach them some of MY songs. I have to have simple ones, so I can remember the words.
sung to the tune of "Onward Christian Soldiers."
Lord George knew my Father,
Father knew Lord George.
Lord George knew my Father,
Father knew Lord George.
Lord George knew my Father,
Father knew Lord George.
Lord George knew my Father
Father knew Lord George,
Lord George knew my Father
Father knew Lord George.
Lord George knew my Father
Father knew Lord George.
Lord George knew my Faaaather,
Faaaaather knew Lorrrrrrd George!
Did I get the that right ?
I'd have to sing it out loud to know.
Ok, where was I?
Oh yes, cleaning the office.

Well, that song had a hook if any song ever did.
So, did father and LG know each other or did the know each other?

IN old England, you were proud if you were friends with someone important.
The song was about a common man who was friends with "Lord George." Probably someone important in the era when the song was made up.
I learned it as a song to teach Boy Scouts. One where they wouldn't forget the words from year to year at summer camp.
If you liked that one, I can teach you
"Mc Tavish is dead, and his brother don't know it"
It's just as bad, and about as easy to remember.

Pray for me......
This is always so hard. One day, hopefully, he will do this more willingly.

He survived - got his shoes, sat down, came and found me periodically and whined about first one thing then another, got told a few times to sit down and be quiet. He finally got the message. Then he found me one more time, was in a better mood, and held the stash while I shopped. He even said it was ok if I bought d two pairs and he only got one.
I got 4 pairs of athletic shoes for under $100. Some were on sale and I paid in two checks making each purchase slightly over $50 so I could use my two $10 off a $50 purchase.
I was so happy.
Son was in good mood when we left.
All is well in the world.
Got home and found daughter home from her stint as catering server - she brought me a steamed lobster tail but I just finished fast food fish dinner. So, for tomorrow, I have great yummy lunch!
Children leave tomorrow to go w/ dad for a week - doing a trip to St Louis. I get a week home w/ the animals.

Nah - just Prince CatLover and Princess TalksWithHerHands
Then there are the furry daughters:
Zoe - the miracle dog
Calla - the reclusive black cat
Cookie - the talkative calico cat
None of the animals (furry kind) has a tail longer than 4 inches.
It's a rare treat to get to hold Calla. She used to not be so reclusive. You can never make an appt to take her to the dr. She is too good at hiding.

At lest you won't be by yourself.
BTW, I was just teasing about boys - we have 4 sons. Sometimes you wonder. (When in the teen years)

Sometimes you wonder before the teen years. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> BTW, I never get offended by references to the Dervish as animalian. It seems so natural, somehow. Well, I have been reading, but not much time for posting. AW, I am pretty well, occasionally flaring with dissatisfaction over fairly small stuff, but we've been working it out well and <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> even talking about it. Still feeling the sting of the C a bit, seems like the more time goes by it takes less to set me back for longer, but as long as AJ is contented to be a "broke" but devoted and pampered husband, and not a spoiled rich boy toy, that's ok with me. Yesterday was interesting. The Dervish helped me make ootmeal for breakfast, and now wants to fix it for every meal, "since you show me how to make ootmeal". Neakbro dawdled and dragged his feet so badly that we had to wait at the car rental place for 1/2 hr before he even showed up to drop off the car, and we made it just in time for potluck. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I was not even in time to do special music AFTER the sermon. Potluck was good, so that was something. Also, at one point early in the morning, I caught the Dervish quietly watching Home Alone. Now that is not something we would ever watch on Sabbath, and I'm sure that those of you with different religious beliefs, or even no religious beliefs at all, would understand why I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER want the Dervish to watch that particular movie, no matter WHICH day of the week it was. In fact, I'm sure he is out building "fraps" as we speak. So he got in "frubble". I talked to Neaksis for a little while yesterday. She has left Flard's house (with him) and was spending the night at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Tonight she will stay with Grandma again, and come home tomorrow morning. When I stopped by her house, an army of ants about 6 wide was marching all through her pantry. I don't think she has much cereal left, but her sugar seemed ok. They were also getting into the freezer and perishing in piles. I weedeated the front of the house Friday, out by the road, so our house is looking more reputable again. Mr. Computer is getting ready to go out and weedeat some more. Today maybe we can go to the zoo and see Wild Things. Help me remember I am out of bread. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Time to go, the Dervish is out in the kitchen, "I MAKING OOTMEAL! MOMMY, I MAKING OOTMEAL!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I have created a monster.
