The digital died, my cell phone took fuzzy pics,....but the good news is, we did get a disposable camera and have pics there.

Now I have to remember to develop them!

                                                    Obviously a cell phone pic!

I am so proud of my son. He wasn't always a lover of school, but somewhere around 10th grade he just exploded! The teachers could not say enough about him. He participates, he challenges the teachers and gets them thinking

It's pretty cool (though I feel old) that some of the kids that I babysat when I did home daycare graduated as well.

Another great thing my mom and I got talking about yesterday...

How some of the kids you thought wouldn't go anywhere when they were younger ended doing ok- some even ended up doing some great things in high school.

We had several that practically lived here because of problems at home.

One has worked a retail job for a couple of years, and he just graduated. He was one I seriously worried about.

Another one is 19 and works as a diesel mechanic at a local biz. He is an excellent mechanic.

Both could have continued on the wrong path, but decided to make positive changes.

Right now they are 18 and 19 - who know's where they will be at 28 & 29?

I am so proud of all my boys- my bio kids, step-kids and all of their friends, our "adopted kids" for all of their accomplishments.

This is going to have to fast, and maybe even a little furious....

Friday Fragments

Caution! Contents MAY be H-O-T !

Yesterday I was multi-tasking as usual...working on my website, folding clothes and listening to Princess Der go on and on about all the words she's learning in Spanish and German...on her iPod!

I realized I hadn't had lunch so I whipped up a couple of cheese hot dogs for us (um...shhhh ...I know it's not the HEALTHIEST thing we could eat).

I wasn't thinking...I grabbed a bun, threw in a hot dog and took a bite.

Ahhhhhhh! A bunch of  H-O-T cheese squirted out! I had a glass of milk , so I gargled with that a few times to cool my mouth off.

With my mouth and throat still on fire, I whipped open the fridge door and grabbed the first cold thing I saw...

A bottle of Budweiser beer left over from a weekend cook-out jumped out at me. Not sure it helped my mouth, but my over-all attitude got better :-)

I feel like I have a sore throat right now....

Speaking of working on my new website

It's almost done! Actually it's an older site moved to a new location and a slightly changed name. So the new URL and the old URL will both go there.

Check it out-I'm not quite done. I'm still playing with design and my contact form isn't working. Still adding some content, too.
