THE S's....

SHEILA
Scott, Sheila & the boys should be here in about an hour. My kids are crashed out -- Patrick is curled up in the rocking chair (in a really weird position, I might add!) and Kev is curled up beside me on the couch. I'm hoping the key clicking doesn't wake him. They are so excited to see their "best partners" -- and I am too! I think it helps that we just saw them in early April, and knowing that I'll get a week (WOW - A WHOLE WEEK!) with Sheila in early August makes me feel this isn't so "final". Now I just have to keep being in denial about the whole "may have to go to France for work for two years" thing Scott has going on. Guess he figured Vegas wasn't far enough to take Sheila away from me .

SEAN THE SUMMER SITTER
We found a sitter for the summer. He lives a street over, is 16, has his own car & will be a senior this year. He's such a nice young kid, but we have had to have a few chats -- like how teaching the boys to make farting sounds with their armpits is really NOT what I had in mind LOL!

SWEAT
Why couldn't we have moved somewhere with less humidity????

SWEET SPOT
Well, I don't think that this fill has me at my "sweet spot". That is the Bandster "slang" for the fill amount that is "just right". (What's a Bandster? Check out www.lapband.com or www.obesitycontrolcenter.com ) Typically the humidity makes my band tighter and I was actually worried about the 1.5 cc's he put in... but looks like I'll need to go back & have him be more aggressive if I feel I'm getting out of control again. Sigh... Why does this war have to have so many battles??

SUCCOTASH
Don't ask. It just popped into my head.

Guess the kids have had Looney Tunes on too much -- their "background noise" is filtering in. You know, I may have spent the majority of my growing up years in Lima, but I just gotta admit that I do NOT like lima beans.

STRESS
Thursday we're doing a picnic here so that folks can come in to see Sheila & the boys. The kid count is nearing 20. I'm probably gonna be a nervous wreck by the afternoon because the house will be trashed. Anyone with spare meds, please send them to:
