Things I learned yesterday...

1st- I should make time to check in with y'all more often, if only for the wit and laughs.
Sorry it's been so long sibs.

2nd- The help call I got from Paul on Friday and responded to was for frigging PRE-SCHOOL.
I guess I'd have figured that out if Scmary had called me instead of Megan. Then again, I have caller ID and probably wouldn't have answered or would've hung up on her. I agree with those of you I talked with yesterday. IF there is a legal agreement between Paul & Scmary, we may want to try and help him, or help him help himself in meeting his part of the deal. Quinn and/or I will try to tactfully discover if one does exist. IF one does NOT exist, I say tell Scmary to pound sand if she calls us again. She's got pretty big balls for not having a ~~~~.

3rd- Paul's been doing without a car for at least a couple of months now.
I imagine that job hunting on a bike has to be juuuust a bit more challenging. Anybody know what's up with his car?

A present is on the way....

Hey Megan, I just bought a book on Amazon.com and sent it to you. Don't worry; it's not your Kris Kringle present - I still have to stop off in Saudi to pick that up. It's a cool book about a guy whose.....

Actually, why don't I let it be a surprise. It is quick reading (I think - lots of pictures) so pass it on to one of other sprinkles after you read it. Keep it going round as I want to see it in November or December. Peace to all. BTW, photos from Leh are up on Facebook so bug one of your kids to see them.

Cute Picture - how about some details of the visit?

... and how was the concert?

We're off to O.C. !

But I did have a nice visit with Mom on Thursday. She was much more coherent than she had been last week when I visited although I am pretty sure that she had no idea who I was. She looked clean and smelled clean. Her room smelled very potently of floral chemicals and there was a big mop in her bathroom. (I'm assuming that there was another flood, but I didn't ask.) We "chatted" for a little while and I told her that I was going away. After a nice little walk around BG looking at decorations, we went back to the neighborhood for lunch. When I told her that I had to get home to the kiddies, she looked sad but made a face with the question on her tongue, "when are you..."? I thought that was pretty good! She remembered that I was going away. (or at least that's what I'm going to think anyway). So, all in all, a good visit where Mom seemed calm and relaxed.

Love to all and I'll see you at Quinn's next Saturday - Levelle
