Robert and I have apperently inherited his six year old brother and eight year old cousin for the summer. About three weeks ago Robert's step-father was riding his dirt bike and the bike stalled half-way through the big jump. He landed on his head and had to be air-lifted to Syracuse. He severed his brain stem and will have to be hospitalized for a ( Read more... )

Just read Emmy's "Quotebook." What a flashback in time..... And I almost pissed myself a couple of times. God I really miss having all of those amazing people together. Thank you Emmy for still having it out there. By the way, does anyone know what happened to Line after Grad school in NC?

Rocco Allen Grimes... Rest in peace my baby and know mommy will always LOVE you!!!

For the last month or so Rocco hasn't been quite himself. He's been sleeping more and going outside less. I thought he had a bad case of hairballs because he's been randomly coughing. Then over the weekend I noticed he wasn't eating much and wasn't going bathroom as much. Monday night I went to go to bed and found him heavily panting. I got him to ( Read more... )

I love my husband for the small things.... Sunday he got up early to run errands and it was my day to sleep in. I woke up to a kiss and him grinning, holding a bag of Dunkin Dounuts and a coffee. My "surprise" was his version of brining me breakfast in bed! As long as he works and stays away from strip clubs, he's perfect! Lol

Been home for a couple of days now. We're doing better.... I'm happier just because our puppy and kitty are both home now. We didn't get home til Thursday at 12:15 AM. Our grass was well over a foot tall and our mower is broke. His cousin let us barrow hers but we could only use it in the morning. Got severely sun burnt (which is funny since the ( Read more... )

I've been home sick from work the past two days with this horrible cold. No fun at all. Yesterday it felt like I had razor blades in my throat. I couldn't really talk but I called Emmy just to catch up and see how Boston was working out. Then I had a sweet surprise. My mom had been out visiting her sister and swung by the house just to see if we ( Read more... )

Well, I figured Nel was brave so the least I could do was say that.....I'm still alive!!!!! Okay, enough said. Now I'll go back to just reading everyone else's stuff for the next year or two... Hee hee

I had my annual review today. And it's the worst I've ever had. In fact, I've never had a bad one before. I've always come off grumpy and moody but I always worked my ass off so it was okay. We've been so slow at work though that we've been spreading maybe four hours of work out over eight hours. And four is a good day. So it is now written in my ( Read more... )

I don't think I'll ever hear Louis Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World" without thinking of Jared singing "it's a wonderful squirrel" in the Subway under the World Trade Center our Sophomore year of High School. I really miss that kid and hate how alone I feel here. Every time I tell a story at work someone says that it sounds like all of my ( Read more... )
