"Biggest Loser" TV Show

Mental Health Day

J. came home from a friend's last night at 5:30 and felt really sick..................He tried to go to sleep on the bathroom floor. He slept about 13 hours and SAID he didn't feel well enough to go to school..............I wasn't sure about the "sick" part, but he hasn't had a day home all year, so we did "preschool" things, like run errands, watch Max and Ruby and go through taco bell. He was happy it was just the two of us. We also planted pansies and cleaned up a bit in the back yard.
J. has a message............."I had a good day. I got to buy 47 football cards for my collection."

More Spring

The first blooms of Spring in my yard are thanks to my Mother in Law who has planted several hellebore's in my side yard. The Daffodils across the street are blooming as they get southern sun, but mine aren't there yet. Another rite of Spring is Lacrosse in our family. J. has gone to play for the afternoon at his friend's house. You can almost see the lacrosse sticks in this picture.

A Message to My Mother and Mother-in-law

I laughed this morning as I woke up and realized that even though I had taken yesterday's pic., I hadn't posted it yet..........knowing full well you two would notice immediately. Sure enough, my mother called and said, "you didn't post to your blog".......I laughed and said, "you sound like my mother in law"..............I then check my email, and guess who asked where my post was? You got it!!!! Sue!!! As you two are not only the most faithful blog readers I have, you may be the ONLY ones I have............................I will post better knowing my "fans" are waiting for the next installment of "diland" with baited breath.

love,
