It is normal for teens to be like this. Not easy to handle still but typical. Most out-grow drama by the time they hit college.

We have smart boards in classrooms. Only a couple of years. It will be interesting to see if they really do make subjects any easier. They said the same thing about projecting computers and it was a wash, no more no less.

Sounds like, hopefully, most of that will be gone and a bunch of stuff ready to go for our trip in July. :)

Someone please confirm: I can't remember anything "big", except Test Track, bein' down when we're gonna' be there? :inquis:

Ahh, ya and no. Most everything should be completed by the time you are down there however the next list isn't up yet. I'd be surprised once they open Thunder again if they didn't bring Splash down. She always goes down right after the new year but didn't this year because of Thunder. Disney is having so many problems with the animatronics they almost have to take her down. Around Spring break they might start saying what will be the Spring/Summer plans for Rehab.

I've hit that age where I am now afraid of my rollerblades.

The best part, is that I can finally play The Sims 3 again!!:yahoo: My previous laptop stopped letting me after I bought Sims 3 Pets.

So happy for you and your new laptop! My DD loves Sims too. When she takes the bus or train to and from her University she often plays an hour or two.

In my mailbox today, a lovely surprise, I think it might be a one time deal to "introduce" the new company ideology. I am on the mailing list as I am a catalogue shopper for school unis. I LOVED this book, and it has at least 3 handbags I WANT!!!!! One orange, one black and one turquoise. Gorgeous, and that is before it says-"Wothington shirts, $15.00, everyday. OMWow, pretty awesome how the former Apple guy has fixed them right up. I am excited to shop at Penney's again.

True, I think it is initially more interesting and might help, but gets to be same old, same old.

I am seriously hoping to be able to go, later in summer or early fall-PRAYING it works out cause I would love to drive down and meet Sera. After she flies all that way, it would be super lovely to meet her. So, I hope PM is up, but I can live without it.

I just watched an interview with Florida's Lt Governor, she ROCKS!!!!! What an amazing woman from a truly amazing family. Impressive.

Really, I have no clue what to do, I am just going with my gut.

Yikes! Either she is not in a growing spree or the "girls" have found that "diet" thing.

I had an Italian Beef sandwich, extra juicy with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese for dinner. Slurp.

If so, she should move on up to Governor.

Hubby had a talk with her, and explained healthfulness and growing her brain and body. It probably is a little of the diet thing, a lot of gals in her class have moms that calorie count their lunchbox as they pack it. Three girls in her class are straight too large-one being nearly 170 pounds. About 1/3rd of the girls are too thin, the calorie counting gals won't even eat a Skittle. We have been fighting the diet thing for a while-because it is so cool to be ultra skinny like victorious. ERRRR


We are trying to use humor, truth and good information/realtionship to battle that. And it seems to be working a bit, she ate a really good supper, and has promised to eat all of her breakfast. plus, she knows I will make her have ensure drinks 2 times a day. Been there, done that. The hard part is she sees me fighting to lose the extra 15, so it is about teaching healthy, and this extra weight isn't healthy.

Cute. This Friends episode is starting to date itself. The cell phone was large and you had to pull out the antenna like on a portable radio.

Well, Rick Scott is notpopular, but his changes are highly effective and very good for the state, employment is back up, there were a lot of programs to help people keep their homes, he has wiped some of the killer unions and privatized many areas which saves money AND takes liability off the state. He will probably get reelected if he runs, and we in Alabama SERIOUSLY wish we had a governor with the guts Scott has.

Just saying-he really knows how to streamline and trim fat like a gastric bypass. I an envious of Floridians having him. Also, he has done a lot to improve services to verterans and older citizens, which is near and dear to my dad, who lives there and hated him as a candidiate, but has come to like him as a governor.

So, Jennifer may have to wait for a few years, she would make an awesome VP, since she can't be pres.

Hopefully hunger will win out over the girl diets.

Our governor bows down to about three state unions and the 100 old guys who have always controlled the state-$$$$ rules in Bammer. He got elected on a promise of allowing us to vote for or against electronic bingo, and possibly lotteries. But the AEA shut that down-stupid since 50% of the money would have gone into schools.

I hope so, right now she drinks water if she feels hungry.
ER, but managing.

i am going to bed, have a good night.

:sing:I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around



And I have that stuck in my head, why? :dizzy:
