Oh no Renee! I hope you get rid of them fast! Our boys got them in grade school. They were little boys so I shaved their heads. It wasn't fun.

I hope you and your little girl will be rid of them without damage to your hair!

Wow! So many posts since I was here early this morning. I didn't even attempt to catch up with everyone this morning. I knew it would be impossible after being away for almost two weeks, not to mention I'm still not up to sitting at my computer for very long periods of time. But this thread moves so fast, I'm having trouble catching up with all the posts I missed since this a.m.!!! lol

I slept off and on most of the day. DH has been so thoughtful and understanding. During this relapse he's taken care of everything...laundry, cooking, dishes.........everything. He's been wonderful!

My brother came by to see me before he left for Canada today. He will be there for a week. It's a business trip. He just wanted check-in on me before he left. Made my day!

Barb Hope you're not having a flare.

Frank, Kay, Char, Debbie (hope I didn't miss anyone) hope you all feel better soon.

Sarah

Thinking of you all

Good Morning!

Renee - there were four moms talking about that at school yesterday - I guess it is really bad this year everywhere. One Word MAYONAISE the say put it all over the childs head, wrap a towel around it and leave it for 20 min's. Kills all the live ones and is cheap!!! What a mess - been there done that 3 times in my childrens lives grown up!

Debbie from one student to another - "good for you!!!" I will not say it is easy especially an online course but I know I feel better about myself for going back to school. Don't give up!

Sarah - my heart goes out to you

Sandy - glad you and Jim had such a great day. So the leaves are turning there too?

Vonn - have fun with company today!

Jenn - you didn't over do it yesterday did ya?

Kelly - How was the chili?

Barb - I hope you are not in another flare! have you call the doc?

Kay - is that a long trip to vote?

Frank - good to see you! 4 hours??? How did you do that?

~~~~~~

I had a really hard day yesterday - not sleeping the night before and sitting in class for 6 hours was rough! I almost left half way through my last class but managed to sit there and suck up. We do have a break half way through but it just didn't seem to be enough yesterday.

I did sleep last night so that is good!!! Just made my list of things to do today. Vac Car, go to the bank, work on Final Project for school, go for a walk and work on the baby sweater I am crocheting. Baby is due in a month and I am not even close!

The sun is out, air is a crispy 44 degrees so it just has to be a good day!

Hope everyone enjoys!

Crap - sorry Tara I missed you!!!!

Hope you are feeling better this morning! You are so lucky to have such a wonderful DH.... does he have a brother?

In case anyone wonders... Yes I'm still alive and kicking. Also packing, rearranging furniture and cleaning.

The extra furniture finally left the house on Monday. DH decided to rent a storage cube for a month and put the furniture there until a local consignment place can take it later this month. He thinks he will get better prices there which means more money for him to spend on himself.

No word on any more counseling. I'm trying my best to move forward but it is so hard some times.

Good morning everyone! Having my coffee and trying hard to wake up.

I haven't been on much. The weather got really nice here and I actually had energy to do things. So . . .full speed ahead I went. LOL I just can't get the hang of pacing myself. Last week I over did it and ended up in spastic fatigue land and what do I do when it cooled down, went like a bat out of he!!.

I read through all the posts and I'll be danged if I can't remember what I just read so I'm sorry if I can't respond to each of you. Please know that I am thinking of all of you.

DD18 and I went to visit and spent some time yesterday at The Art Institute. She LOVED it!!! She was really excited about everything she saw and it was great to see her so pumped up. She wants to hurry up and get started. We have to fill out the application, do the financial aid form, and she has to write her essay. Once all is done and I know that we can get the financial aid (which according to the Federal Student Financial Aid office, we will be fine based on our income - or lack of lol.) If all goes as planned she will be starting school on November 12th.

As for DD17, I can't keep up with that girl and her crazy schedule - school (all honors and advanced classes), extra study groups, dance team, church youth groups (high school for her and middle school that she helps with), football games she has to perform at, senior activities, etc. She has been applying to several colleges within the state as well as out of state and working on finding scholarships to help fund her education. Like I mentioned we are fine in regards to federal aid but they only give so much per year so extra grants and scholarships are helpful.

The past week has been busy coordinating everything. The best news is that DD18 saw I was serious about moving out and finally got her butt in gear. She has another job interview today and since she will more than likely be starting school Nov. 12th that meets the requirement to continue to live here. I am one relieved mom!

That's my update. Hope you all have a good day!

Weave glad you checking in have been thinking of you!

Trish my DD17 came over Sunday and we were doing the whole college applications / scholarships / essay thing too! The kitchen table was covered with college brochures!!! She is excited and wanting to go into Radiology like her older sister did. Good Luck with both of them!!!

hugss all...

oh nae nae...sorry..now I am soooo itchy..uggggg...my daughter who is 13 keeps having itchey scalp problems...I keep eye out and check her over for lice...but dont find nits....so think scalp thing..

done that lice thing once when I was preggo for a child..and I had gotten it too with the kids I nannied for..uggggg

hugss all..good morning...feel sore everywhere...hugsss,sarah

Char - I wish you and DD luck as well!

It is a really exciting time for these kids and their excitement and motivation is infectious. DD17 had a friend spend the night over the weekend. She was showing me all of her brochures as well and the girls were comparing colleges and campuses. DD17's friend wants to go to Pratt in Brooklyn for architecture and is so excited. Since my sister is an architect we called her and got advice on different schools. It was fun.

The health care industry is a great industry to go in to particularly geriatrics. Us baby boomers are getting older (actually I'm a Generation Joneser but . . .). DD17 wants to be a nutritionist/dietitian and I told her that is an excellent field to go in to as there are so, so many places and industries she can work in.

Weave,

Trish and Char, how exciting that your daughters are looking towards the future.

Tara, got a keeper there in your hubby. Glad he's so understanding.

Morning all Sitting here sipping my morning coffee. Trying to figure out what to do today. Got a lot that needs done, but will do little things here and there until the bod says "stop".

I pushed when I could yesterday and stopped when the body said "enough". The mind's like "keep going", but learning to listen to the bod. It's smarter than I am sometimes, LOL.

Gonna hopefully be a part of a holiday sale at the beginning of Nov. ****crossing fingers**** Depends on whether or not I get at least one official thing back in the mail (gotta love a state that requires a separate license for doing art shows/sales ) and if there's still space left. So have been trying to decide which paintings to take with me if everything pans out. Probably won't find out about the space thing until the 27th.

Hope everyone has a great day!
