Difficult week with younger dd. Again this month she had a bad week or so. So sad, cried and awake for days, sleeping in spurts. I think the hormone's have something to do with it. The grief too, she is afraid to sleep.

We did a lot of keeping her mind busy, she asked about the pool going up this week, so we did. I also bought Pamperin....Something helped, I actually slept two nights now as she did. She has shown an interest in activities.

The space station is flying over again tonight from West to East about 10:00pm you sneeze you can miss it. We watched two nights ago. Also there are meteor showers going on until July. Hoping to see them.

We just started filling the pool, after weeks of 80's to 90*, Wednesday it goes back to 74*. I hope it is not cold again like last year. So I am hoping to get some sun and swim time in between thunderstorms over the weekend.

you guys have fun howling at the moon Bizi and i hope the weather is nice for you.

Di am glad you are sleeping! pool sounds nice... hope you have nice weather for it too.

Hi,
-->>Hubby and I went to the beach the other night around 10:00 pm. It was gorgeous and a little windy with a big moon. The full moon is sometime on Sat.

-->>My father (yes) called me on my birthday and spoke about the night I was born. Weird stuff.

-->>I got a new cell phone and I hate it. I spent three or four hours trying to figure it out and I'm still not sure I could send a text to anyone. What the heck happened to the qwerty key pad?? Did the world change while I was doing something else? I did not notice in the store that my key pad is all weird and stuff.


-->> I'm in a major whiny mood. Off kilter.

Dear Mari

sounds so nice to go to the beach at night... sigh. and i will have to watch out for the full moon tonight.

sorry that your father weirded you out like that.

i don't have a qwerty keypad on my phone ... only numbers!!! i think even with qwerty i'd be like hey! there's too many buttons here for a phone! naah, but i know what you mean. the computer keyboards here are not US. i install the US layout as a default so that it 'acts' like one - but then have to type from memory because the stuff on the keys doesn't match. changing layouts are annoying no matter how you slice it.

i hope you feel better but feel free to be as whiny as you want. (i did not find your post whiny by the way.)

glad that you got some good sleep waves!

Oh Mari Happy belated birthday!!!!
I kinda get the Dad reliving the night you were born. I do that on my kids birthdays, it is an emotional time when they place that helpless fragile bundle in your arms and there is so much love that you created this little imaage of ourself.

The beach sounds like such fun, especially at night with the breeze blowing off and a full moon. The space station flew over again last night 10:05 est. DH picked me up from grandbaby sitting at 1 am and we had the sun roof open and music blasting. Reminded me of 30 years ago when we dated.

Bizi a canoe ride, oh how neat. Just like Haiwatha, Sacagiwaya, spelling...?
Waves, great to read you!Sending a huge hug,

We have the pool up, the water is bone chilling from the mountain spring, but I have a solar cover on it now.
Everyone have as good a weekend as we all can.

the canoe trip was great yesterday!!!!
we really enjoyed it....very challenging, she led us thru really thick vegitation....on the shore, in the dark she fed us this fantastic meal, mango salsa and taboulli salad and a wrap with chocolate cookies for desert.I am getting better at canoeing...but still need to practice.
today we went for a drive to Lake Chicot state park. about an hour away north of us.
and went for a hike around the arburitum, 2 1/2 miles took about an hour. then we drove around the park...and headed home stopped by a race track evangeline downs casino and race track to watch a couple of races...it was fun. bet on a hourse who cam in third...rats..it was fun to see all of the horses... had a huge dinner buffet which was fair but they had really good gumbo!
and key lime pie.
came home and went for an in the dark walk around the neighbor hood.
watched 2 episodes of lost and took a shower to get the bug spray off.
meds should be kicking in any time now....
