This site is dedicated to my ever loving bratty children, my tolerant husband and well to my friends who support me in so many ways even when we don't speak for years. Cheers - to the beautiful and not so beautiful passings in our lives. In other words - those moments when life is painful and all you can do is laugh until you cry (or pee)!

Teenage Successes and Sleepovers

So I am SOOO proud of Mallory - she got great grades on her progress report, she only had one incident that set off the camera and she got a job at JC Penny (making $7.75 an hour which is pretty good) which is showing her how a corporation is run (vs. the crappy Melt store). She even made it home by curfew...... We are shocked by the changes we have seen in her and given her so many kuddo's for doing well she is getting angry and telling us to "shut up". I am starting to wonder if we are good parents after all??

I had a tough Mommy moment when we were at Goodwill and she wanted to buy an end table to begin buying things for when she moves out....... UGH!! Don't blink ladies - before you know it those cute little babies grow up and leave to become individuals....

Amber had her 2nd sleepover EVER - She was so excited and overstimulated it was nearly impossible to keep her from hyperventilating.... She was also invited to go to a Rockies game with a friend and her parents... Apparently the social "Training" that she is learning in her special education class is working. She has also started using words such as: amazing, neat and fabulous instead of: stupid, sucky and dumb...

I have been a real mess, my back, neck, jaw, hips and knee have been hurting so bad, I drove to the chriropractor office and sat in the waiting room, threatening to sleep there if I needed to because I needed to be seen. I haven't been there in 4 years.

If you all remember when I was addicted to the pain meds after the accident in 1999, I was a total skeptic about chriropractic until he "fixed" me in 3 months and I haven't been back or taken the pills since... I called Ron after my appointment and jokingly told him that I was in love with another man - and running away with the chriropractor!! He laughed...

Anyway - We survived another week!! Looking forward to another one as good as this one!

See you all later.

Glad you aren't in pain anymore. A chiropractor is the only one who's been able to get Ben's headaches to stop. They can't all be quacks.

Yea for Mallory. I hope she continues to do well. Did you tell her when she moves out she has to buy her own stuff with her own money? Bet she won't be in such a hurry to leave then. Hey, maybe you should buy her furniture! :)

I can't believe she is so grown up! Yay for her commitment to making good choices. It is not always easy to decide to do the smart thing, especially when it is rarely the fun or cool thing to do.

I am sorry you are in pain, the chiropractor out here is the only one who has been of any use to me recently, he has fixed everything from migraines to back pain.

Love you!
