And now, to tag 7 people to play along!! Well, this is where I either don't get this posted tonight or just cheat and get it done! Ok, so i'm cheating!! I'm tagging EVERYONE!! You and You and You!!!
Walter went to the homeowner's association meeting tonight and came home with our official letter stating that we have 10 days to plant 2 trees (I thought it was tress?) in our yard. Seriously? And he's the homeowner's association president, so couldn't we just say no and not sue ourselves or something? 2 trees. Alrighty then. My neighbor, Leon, wants to give us 6 Crepe Myrtles from his yard that he doesn't want, but he already cut them back to just the branches (something you do to make them grow better later), so I wonder if planting the Crepe Myrtle carnage in our yard will make people happy?
And speaking of Leon!! He's the overly involved in our lives but very nice neighbor next door. In the beginning, Walter's 50th birthday party (coming up Saturday) was a surprise, so I'd asked Leon's brother-in-law to cook a spaghetti jambalaya for the party. Now that Walter knows about the party, Leon's brother-in-law is still cooking for us and they are having a lot of their own family over for the party too. That's all good, but they want to keep the jambalaya pot at their house and I'm worried that people from my house wont want to go over there to get their food!! AHHHHHH!!! Hopefully, it will all work out ok!! I really appreciate them cooking, so I don't want to make a big deal of it. Walter has already mentioned to him twice that we'll be having the food under the tent in the back yard, but I doubt Leon realizes we mean THAT food!! And I saw his wife for the first time yesterday since the swimming pool incident and I asked her to tell her niece not to let the little girl swim in our pool unless someone is SITTING BY THE POOL. She said she would let her know.
And as for my diet, no, you really can't have ANY sugar or bread on the Atkins diet, so I'm totally not on it right now. And yes, I've gained back my 7 lbs!! Will I ever learn??

Welcome back, Dawn! How were things down Houston way? Can't wait to hear about some Pop'rs Action over at your place!
Just keep on going with the diet. It will become so routine you won't even think about cheating soon! That poor emotionally disturbed child. A second opinion for the latest happenings would probably be beneficial! I can't believe that 6th grader has a 9 month old baby. She's still a baby herself. WOW.
Love, Mere
No way! You know Dave? My Monkey has ust discovered that show, and he loves when they dance, but that uncle bugs me.
Thanks for dropping in to MA on our BATW day!
i liked your tag! you are an amazing lady!
Welcome back. OMG 6th grade with a baby?! I hadn't even french kissed then! HOLY CRAP!
Hello Dawn from Louisiana!
My mom is from Louisiana . . . we give her a hard time about it. *wink*
Thanks for stopping by!
i picked up your tag. Don't worry the party will work out great, it sounds like you need to be a little more straight with your neighbor and tell him directly to bring the dish to the tent!
I have that about Atkins if you ever cheat the weightcomes right back! Cant beileve you know Mover Dave - Crazy. I hope the party works out.
You know - it is so great what you do!! How amazing you must be for those kids!!!
Diet - just eat 1/2 of what you would normally eat ... or eat 5 smaller meals a day that will make your matoblism -sp? faster
got my letter from JP
I keep gaining my 5-8 pounds back. Makes me so mad.
I work in a middle school...6th-8th grades. Geez, I can't believe a 6th grader has a baby. Just insane!
Thanks for stopping by my BATW yesterday!
My heart goes out to your students. Both are in horrible situations. I didn't even get my first kiss until I was a Freshman in High School. What is happening to our world and our youth?
Homeowners associations can be a pain. They keep someone from painting their house pepto bismol pink, but interfere too. I feel so sad for the kids you have at work. I'm glad they have you. It must be taxing on you, too. Way to go being a drop out and having a Master's. My mom was a grandma at 36, too. I'm 42 and still crossing my fingers Brie and Shane wait till Brie finishes her BS. I have a friend who finished HS for spite because the HS secretary called her in and said that if she was having a baby she wouldn't amount to anything anyway so why be here. She is third in line in the Aloette franchise now. I don't think I'm mean, but I love "I'll show you" stories because I hate judging so much. I also wondered if JP could have pictures, books, or things or just mail. Kass could only have mail and snapshots.
HI and OMG a 9 month old child and in the 6th grade! OK I had to go there first because my jaw dropped and how in the WORLD comes first to my mind and second how very sad very sad and that really bugs the heck out of me on so many LEVELS!
I love your tag btw!
I love the graduation for the moms. I would love to work with moms who need help guiding their kids through school. Haven't found the right avenue for it. Yet. I think of it all the time when the backpacks come home full of stuff--and hidden in there are the buried treasures that give us ideas for reinforcing things at home. And I imagine that the only people who actually find those things are the ones who do them anyway.
Hope Walter's birthday party goes great!
Dude, I barely knew what sex WAS in 6th grade. NUTS!
Hope Walters party is a big HIT with the food at your place. ;)
Really? No orange juice? That's pretty unique! I agree, you are a very interesting lady. ;)
Oh and stop by my blog for yet another tag! ;)
