This BLOGGER Is Tired of the Constant DEMAND for More More More...........

Well, I guess I'm finally over BOBBY. It took me half a week. I joined the Vilsack campaign as a response. Isn't that incredible? However, I do believe that this year it will be the year of the dark horse. Anybody who says "work together" passionately and believably enough gets my vote. I'm so tired...

SOCK IT TO ME, BOBBY, IT'S 1968 AGAIN.

Tonight I found myself. In a movie entitled BOBBY, by Emilio Estevez. What I asked my daughter in the middle of the movie was, "Now do you see why I am the way I am?" And I never realized it, but 1968, for someone in their formative years, was a time when we were fed up with the senseless violence,... Sign in to see full entry.

DRAMASTIC OUTCOME OF VISIT TO ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON.........................

WELL, IT IS CERTAINLY GOOD NEWS. THERE IS TO BE NO IMMEDIATE SURGERY. IF HER PROBLEM IS COMPRESSION FRACTURES, WHICH IS OPEN TO SOME DEBATE, THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR PERHAPS AS MUCH AS A DECADE. SHE NOW HAS MEDICAL ADVICE TO CONTINUE RESTRICTIONS ON WORK AND PE FOR ANOTHER FIVE WEEKS. DURING THAT... Sign in to see full entry.

DO DRAMASTIC HEALTH iISSUES PROMOTE INITIATIVE IN BLOGGERS?

We are sitting in the office of the orthepedic surgeon. My hotter water daughter smiling and going along as if nothing, not pain, not the potential inconvenience of missing an entire semester of school were on the horizon. *** We are now in the examination room. She is filling out another for for... Sign in to see full entry.

DRAMASTIC STEPS TAKEN TO PROMOTE GOOD HEALTH

Tomorrow morning is the specialist appointment for my hotter water daughter. She will get the news from the orthopedic surgeon what her treatment will be. I have taken half a day away from my classroom. We are in the second vocabulary chapter for the week. Students have been doing research on... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger is in Pain, and it's Breaking My Heart

I will discuss the continuing saga of my hotter water daughter, diagnosed with curvature of the spine, only because while she was at the doctor's, and he said "I don't think there's anything wrong with you" she texted me. I texted back from the classroom, even though I was up to my eyeballs in... Sign in to see full entry.

Mneme Reminded Me of an Important Test of Serenity.

Let us hope that we are not too severely tested by loss, disease, catastrophes. However, one can measure one's level of serenity by how well one responds to problematic situations. I wrote last May about the week that four major appliances in our home (including the main sewer drain), went on the... Sign in to see full entry.

OUR BEAUTIFUL THANKSGIVING WEEKEND ENDS SOFTLY, QUIETLY

After several days of ham and casseroles, ham and eggs, ham sandwiches, we finished off with a Sunday turkey, cranberries, casserole. It made for a nice contrast. Now, we also ate two pies, one apple and one pumpkin, about a gallon and a half of French Vanilla ice cream; six good muffins (biggies)... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, to leave out most of the melodrama, we spent the entire day together, all three of us: me and two teenaged daughters. We had breakfast at SONIC (Lol). Went to a car wash and fought over the only root beer float. So then we went to the mall and joined COSCO. We can now buy gas for both cars at... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU CAN GET ANYTHING YOU WANT AT ALICES' RESTAURANT, EXCEPT FOR ALICE!

We walked five miles. The three of us have not done enough of that. We talked and talked, walked and walked and walked. We saw Johnny's friend, the store manager at the big Quick Trip Truck Stop and Burger King, out by the interstate where we mark the halfway point of our five miler. I was proud to...
