June 18th

Well we did it. Courtney now has her driver's permit. OMG, now I have to teaach her how to drive with out my road rage(lol). I really wish my mom was here to do this, she had more patients with Courtney then anyone else.

Well my best friend just left for N.C. to live this morning. I am really gonna miss them. We are hoping to travel this august to visit. I always thought it would be us that moved first. Amazing what life throws your way.

Well gotta get the house ready for courtney's birthday party tomorrow.
love to all

June 16th

Well my little girl is not so little any more. she is now 16 and a junior in high school. OMG when did this happen.???? We did not get a chance to do anything special today, but she is having a party friday night with her friends and her father and I are giving her a day at the spa for her gift. the fun part is that she gets to take 3 friends with her to the spa to get pampered also. Wish someone would do that for me.
Christopher has a part time job at his friends pizza shop. he works one day a week and gets to tkeep his tips. not bad for a 13 year old. he also cuts grass. some days he is so grown up that you forget he still is only a child, but there are those days that you know he is only a child. lol

big chris leaves for brazil on june 27th. I am excited for him. wish i could go with him. he'll be gone 2 weeks. it sucks that he'll be away for the 4th but I'm hoping the kids and I can do something special. i know that i have to work, but maybe we can go to some fireworks.

well it's almost 1 am on the 17th now and I still have 2 hours of work left. so back I go.
nite all

getting older

Well you know your getting older when one of your babies gets her physical for her drivers permit, and then informs you that in 8 days she will be able to get behind the wheel,(legally) and help with the running of errands(as long as she can drive of course)

Courtney is going on her band trip and dragging her dad along for the ride. oh happy j0y for him. I am lucky since I work until 3 am and won't be able to make the 6am bus.

Christopher is spending the night at a friends house after going to a B-Mets game up in Binghamton, NY.

School is out and now I am the activities director for the next 3 months. oh yeah! (sarcasm at it's best)

enjoy your summer everyone. Let's hope I survive it.

june

Hard to believe that my kids only have 1 day of school left. This school year has flown by. My mom would be so proud of the kids. Courtney is receiving awards again tonight. I hope I get out of work in time to see this. She also is taking 2 college courses next year. Mom was very big on education. I am hoping that Courtney's web site will start to generate money for the scholarship fund in my mom's name at the college. she is working to write more songs to put on it. Christopher has some struggles this year but he is growing into a fine young man. There are still days that I wish I could sell him to the gypsies, but then I would buy him right back. Oh teenage boys. what fun what joy!!!!
The kids are excited about going to Conn. to see their great grandmother. She's not very healthy and it will be good for her to see them.
Chris is waiting for his work visa so that he can travel to Brazil. He will be gone for about 2-3 weeks learning a new plane that is coming into the states that his company has bought.
I am still looking for a job back in medicine. I can't believe how much I miss that atmosphere.
well love to all
