dresses

You’re going to be so busy writing for pay that we’ll be missing you around here! Will you be posting a pic of the dress you’re borrowing from your mom? Love the grey dress!

Woohoo…fantastic opportunities ahead! 😀

thats a pretty wicked dress you’re wearing in your pic with the skull on it. I dont wear dresses cause im not at all girly enough to pull it off.

I liked the grey dress! Glad you found one you liked.

sounds like it would be a good job, hope it works out! yeah for new dresses! and yeah for beau! see he’s making progress 🙂

ryn: np, an article?

I think its marvelous your almost to your goal!! and YAY for dresses! Before I got fat I LOVED dresses. Full length ones are the best. I think they are so elegant and make my legs look longer. 🙂 I still do though..they just dont love me HAHA!! RYN: You’ve got to remember..the most I’ve ever been away from De was the ONE time Andy watched De while Mike took me to a movie. There are nofamily near (Not that I’d trust any of them with him..hell look at what they did to me! LOL!). And I just dont trust people. It’s funny you mentioning being friends with the preschool teacher. I like De’s teacher because she is a mom and it shows in her classroom. 🙂 De’s problem with her is because of this. LOL! She tells him to sit down and not run wild in her classroom. She tells him just like I do in that strong, firm voice that means no funny business without having to yell but stern enough he pays attention. She is so loving to her students and its wonderful because she really cares about them.

One more Oh before bed! RYN: Dad is doing a bit better. The wound from them opening him up again is healing from the inside out this time so its not getting as much chance to get infected. So he’s doing pretty well all things considered.

Well done you on the job front, good luck :o) xxx Yay Beau! xxx

RYN: *sigh* You and spiders lol The thoughtnof a mouse surrying around my house creeps me out WAY more than a spider. Thankfully I’ve mostly steered clear of Facebook drama so I can just sit back and laugh at it 🙂

RYN: Trev makes fun of me over that too. Actually a couple weeks ago we bought a little mouse to feed the spider and it was bigger than they usually give us so we didn’t know if he would eat it. It was white and cute and I told Trev if the spider didn’t eat it I was just gonna get another cage and keep it too…but yet the one in the kitchen freaks me out. It’s just that it can run free and go anywhere it wants, totally different than being in a cage, in one spot, where I can always see it lol

I’m on my dad’s computer so I can read my friends. 🙂 That is so awesome that you are headed down the road of your dreams – to be a real writer! How neat is that? I would have bought your book if I didn’t have 100 books in my living room waiting to be read. LOL. Literally. I have a stack of over 100 books that I have bought to read and have not gotten to yet! I am so slow at reading.

ryn: I keep up with ordering all of my pictures and I buy albums as I go along also. I group the pictures into what I’ll use on a page spread and then tuck them under the page protectors while they are waiting to be scrapped. This way before I scrap them you can still flip through the albums and enjoy the pictures. As you have an idea for a layout you scrap it and then you would flip through some that are scrapped and some that are not. You can also tuck papers and embellishments under the page protectors with the pictures and make page kits. I don’t do the page kit thing as much as I used to though. Does that make sense?

RYN: I’ll be fine. My problem is that I’ve seen her so called “teaching methods”. I don’t call sitting at a table with her daughter, and her daughter’s friends after passing out one or two work sheets for the kids teaching. And I don’t call putting a tub of toys on the tables for the kids to play for 2 hours teaching either. Or 15 minutes of “circle” time. Or sticking my kid on a mat/cot from12:30-2:30 when he doesn’t normally even have naps except on a rare occasion. Nor do I call my child being in an entirely differant room with someone I have never met “keeping me aware of my child’s location at all times”. Nor do I pay extra for a video surveilance in his classroom for it to only work 2 days out of the 5. 1 of those days wasn’t their fault. I give them that. But when we’ve spoken to the tech support guy and he has told us that he’s called them ALL day since before the school even opened trying to get them to reboot the system so it would work & I am 1 of half a dozen parents & relatives that have called numerous times during the day? I blame them for that. And I also blame De’s teacher for being the fake way she is to me to my face, while I watch her on vid

while I watch her on the video on the 2 days that I have managed to see in the classroom (and poorly at that because she’s placed shelf units in strategic locations to create blind spots, and she placed my child in one of those blind spots fully knowing I was one of the parents paying for the video service.) I’m sorry. I don’t mean to rant to you. I’m just very upset by this subject.When they didn’t bother to call me on Friday when he was in an entirely differant class, in a higher age bracket & learning bracket, and not where *I* was TOLD he’d be? And on top of that they ignored the tech guy ALL of Friday trying to get them to fix the video feed? It just snapped that fragile part of me that excused their actions or lack of them. I pay a small fortune for that school and for the services they offer. I’m not one of those parents who put their kid in a school just to get rid of them. I put him in their school for the security they offer, the video feeds, and the education programs they are supposed to have in effect, and to get De socialized before he goes to kindergarten. I can teach him at home. I do. They make me so mad!!!

It’s amazing you’re fulfilling your dream as a writer! That must be so exciting. Which reminds me, I still have to order your book!!! So let me know if you have more books and how I can order.

RYN: De is actually in the middle. He can’t decide if he likes it or not. He enjoys playing with a few kids there. But he still doesn’t like being around all the people (There are 18 kids in his class). As for Ms Krystal..*sigh* I don’t think he likes her at all. When I talk to him about it every day he tells me that she makes him nervous and that he is scared of her. I of course ask why and he tells me that she makes him nap, and makes him sit down in his seat. *rolls eyes* which is normal but I have to wonder HOW she is asking him to do these things. I am always telling him to sit down or to lay down, etc.. at the appropriate times. It doesn’t make sense to me that he is SCARED of her for it. And then the other day he told me that he was scared of her but he couldn’t tell me why because it was a secret. Alarm bells were blaring in my head by that point. I wish there was sound to the video feeds. *sigh* not that it would make much differance since I can rarely get the video feed to work. I’m trying very hard not to be over protective but they are not making it very easy!

RYN: If I had my way that’d be about when Alyssa got breakfast too, but since she wants to eat ASAP after she gets up she gets something simple because I’m not nearly awake enough to do real cooking. Better toast or cereal for breakfast than a burnt down house, right? 🙂 I like just hints of foreshadowing because I like to feel like I’ve figured something out on my own, ya know, I don’t want the writer holding my hand through it all.

ryn: Reagan isn’t ready to sit through an entire grown up movie. Even a kids movie in the theater might still be tricky. Keith stayed home with Reagan so that I could go. There are a lot of things I’m just as happy (if not happier) to do on my own so it’s no big deal.

ryn: Did you like Dear John?

ryn: I felt like the book (Dear John) was smooth enough. You’re too kind to think I’m thin. Hopefully by summer I’ll feel a bit thinner.

ryn: once I had Keith’s mom watch Reagan for me when Keith was not available and my mom was having surgery. And a few times I’ve ran a very quick errand while my mom played with Reagan but other than that Keith and I keep Reagan right with us. I’m comfortable with the ideas of Grandma’s taking care of him at this point but not anyone else yet. I made a really last minute decision to go to the movies. Keith’s mom is about 2 hours away and my mom is in China. Not this time but Keith and I probably should arrange some dates for this summer when my mom is here.

RYN: It was down to my butt crack..LOL! Then I got it trimmed a few weeks ago. She cut the bangs differantly than I expected then and I decided to give them a try. I didn’t like them that way so I went back and had her cut them this way yesterday. It’s the way I used to wear my hair before I had De

RYN: Exactly. I need some time to wake up in the morning before I can do ANYTHING!

ryn: we try to get out, but in the case of SF it’s really close by. Still fun. I’m hate phone conversations too unless it’s with a good friend. Good luck!

Will you take pics of the dress your mom brought over?

i want to see a picture of the new dress
