Ellie-Mae--what was his time??? Was this a PR?

It was the Ted Moored Run/Walk. He taught Math at MVCC and was killed by a drunk driver. This helps raise money to help prevent drunk driving. It was a lot of fun. The police had a booth set up there where the boys were aable to put on these goggles that made them see like a drunk person. It was really funny to see them try to do the drunk tests... and that waas at borderline legal limit for driving!

Judy, every CAP squadron is different.
OK, my internet isn't working and I came to my mom's to use hers and now I can't get my email-every time I try it wants credit card info and such, even though it's the free version of AOL. I really don't understand, and I am having a really rotten day and just want to crawl in a hole and die.

(((Jen))) Don't do that.
I felt like that last night when my car died again. Then dad called this mornign to say it wasn't where we left it. It was off the side of the road completely in the grass and there were no "no parking" signs and I put a note in the windshield that I would return this AM. Well, some cop decided it wasn't safe and had it towed last night. GRRRR
Oh well, it's back and working now.

Either the world is out to get me or my mom's cojmputer has a nasty virus, because another site that has never done this before asked me for my credit card info including ATM code. ? i am going to have to sign off and shut this thing down...and maybe call my bank.

I am trying to figure out if we have our small group tonight or not. They changed it from either the 1st and 3rd Monday to the 2nd and 4th, or vice versa. We get there so infrequently because of work that I really can't remember. If I'm off on a Monday I usually just check with someone, but today I can't seem to reach anyone who would know. Oh well, I'm sure someone will call back eventually, but I'd like to know how much time I have this afternoon. I have about 6 things to do that all take varying amounts of time, and I'd rather not be in the middle of something messy and find out surprise! we gotta go.
Patrick had his job interview this am. He really doesn't have a feel for how it went. It's only a gas station job so I'm thinking that they were looking for little more than a pulse and the ability to form complete sentences, but we'll see if they call him back.

Well, my girls are out with Grandma shopping for Mother's Day. I guess DD2 loves me even though I made her do multiplication today.
After I tucked them all in last night I heard them having a conference in DD1's bedroom. I didn't hear any words except this out of DS "We fight a lot. We just fight with each other... a LOT" It was so cute. They are pretty good but still. I don't know if He was talking about MD plans or in general but that's the one sentence that came down that I hear.

Ds4's hand is not broken. We were there for almost 2.5hrs! Doctor was running late, then he sent ds4 down for x-rays. We had to wait for almost an hour. After which the doctor didn't find any fractures. Gave ds4 a talking to about punching people, though!
I am tired. I didn't sleep well last night. I was tired, but dh isn't sleeping well. I ended up on the couch, then bright and early dh's birds started making noise. Then the busy afternoon at the doctors. We took the kids out for an end of the school year celebration (even though ds4 still as a few tests to go). My ears have been ringing when I'm around any noise at all. Needless to say, I'm pretty miserable right now. And tired...

So I went home and cried and called a friend who prescribed tea, vitamins and Psalms, which worked quite nicely. I got the boys going on chores in preparation for schoolwork, but just as we were going to begin schoolwork the phone rang. It was the agency asking how good I am on Excel. I said I was comfortable, there were things I didn't know, but I learned fast. She called back fifteen minutes later and said, 'the last time we tested you, you rated 'basic' in Excel. We would like to test you again RIGHT NOW' lol So I dropped everything, gave the boys their assignments, changed clothes and rushed out there. I took the test and rated...basic! Even after using it a lot at work over the last year. So I grabbed lunch and went back and took their tutoring programs and now I am rated 'Expert' in both Excel and Word 
Which means, of course, that I got the job. I start tomorrow morning. I am a 'hay distribution clerk' and my children have given me no end of grief over this...am I going to wear overalls to work, do I need a toothpick, where's my horse....you get the picture. 
This job is supposed to last through Aug or Sept. They were displeased with their last temp so the pressure has been piled on me.
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! I can't tell you how much they mean.

GREAT news on the job Jen!!
We had bad storms roll through last night. It was a rough night in our household. Apparently, dh was having trouble falling asleep & was up until about 3 and then at 3:30 my alarm went off. I couldn't figure it out, because it wasn't even set. Later, I realized the battery backup is probably dead & the electricity had probably flashed on & off. BUT I have had a lot of problems with this alarm clock (going off right after I set it OR 10 minutes later  ), so it may be time for a new one anyway! Dh was snoring pretty good after that & I had to go to the bathroom - the wind was blowing really hard & the thunder was really loud. We ended up with 2 dogs & 1 kid in bed with us. I finally took dd back to her bed around 4 & then was pretty much awake until after 6. Then dh's alarm went off at 7! He had physical therapy this morning & we have MOPS, so we had to get up. Needless to say, we are all dragging! Well, except ds who could sleep through a freight train running through the house!! I was just like him when I was a kid - oh to be a kid again! If only for the sleep!  I lived about 50 yards from a train track in a basement apartment my junior year in college. Almost every morning, my roomates would say "What time did that train come through last night" and I'd say "the train came through?" Motherhood effectively killed the sleep through anything ability in me!  But, I wouldn't trade them even for a few good night's sleep! OK - I've rambled on enough here. Praying everyone has a nice day today!

Congrats Jen!
Amy- do all military folks have one of those battery back up type alarm clocks? No excuses when Uncle Sam is shouting for ya to get into formation... and the higher up you go the more insistent he seems to be about it. LOL Unless you are the one shouting for formation to happen... then you can "Appoint" someone to do the silly thing and take account of who ditched.
Dentists- Yeah still dealing with those... I have two going in today and two going in tomorrow. THEY thought that all of this going in with the kids would de-sensitize me... but I think they have come to the understanding that it IS NOT WORKING. I wrote 3 more paragraphs here and deleted them- Just know that i am not dealing well with this at all.

Sorry about all your dental problems Ezri.
My kids all have checkups/cleanings tomorrow. I need to ask them if they accept any kind of individual dental plans that I could invest in when i lose my insurance. I am more upset at losing dental insurance than medical.

Ez, I am so ppraying for you. I imagine that these appointments would be like someone scheduling me for several needle biopsy. I don't know if I could make myself go even if I HAD to. I don't know what I would do. 
I have just realized that I haven't felt my kidney stones all morning! I am SOOOO happy. Maybe I will be able to get this over with yet. Please pray that I won't have to endure any shots other than an IV while I am awake. For some reason I can do IVs and blood draws, but anything else is really iffy,
