Happy belated birthday to Jim, happy belated birthday to Dave, and happy belated birthday to Deb. The oldest just keep getting older. This presidential election may be a first for some of you....is Obama younger than you?? He was born in 1961, not sure of the month. You may not know how much I love American History and would give anything to be in Washington DC on Tuesday, but I guess I'll be watching along with 27 fourth graders instead.
Do you ever have flashbacks to your childhood? I've been listening to a new station called Love 105.......105.7 to be exact and I've heard some songs that I haven't heard in years.....sometimes the songs are the reason for the memories.....but not always......and sometimes I'm afraid that I'm forgetting what life was like on Marble Street. I'm talking about the good years.....probably before high school.....by the way I thought high school sucked....big time.....I loved Jr. high much better.....and this may come as a surprise, but I liked St. Stevens......I wonder what friends I would have had if I had stayed there. Mom got mad when I told here I didn't want to leave there. I did meet Todd at Sandberg Middle School, and other various friends along the way, but none that I keep in touch with....
Jean has a good memory about life back when.....she brings things up, and I have to admit I don't remember that event.....I wonder why not.....someone tell me what I was like.....what was I doing that I don't seem to remember like some of you do.....
Ali is 14 years old...(damn it!) and likes to stay home like I did when I was young. I didn't like to do a lot with other people. Lately, she hates people - her words - because they just don't do the right thing. She's very independent and knows what she wants......her Grandpa and Grandma say she's a lot like Mandy.....I'd like to get those two talking, e-mailing, writing....I think Ali could use a "big sister"........................no Jean............you're too old..........anyway it's been a tough year for Ali.....lots of emotions........lots of "hate"........I say lots of hormones.....
Adam, 12 years old......and I'm ready to beat the puberty out of him! He's a cocky, mouthy, middle school slob.....He's everything I wasn't and I couldn't be happier.....don't tell him that. He still has to watch his mouth and quit antagonizing his sisters.
Ava is bored with school.......were in trouble here folks.......way too easy for her.....she's in some challange classes a few times a week, but that won't do much for her.....she's been in school since she learned to walk and talk....she's an all around athlete, that will excel at anything she tries...we're looking for the cheapest sports or clubs.
Has anyone figured out the question yet??
I'll check back for answers.....

Rich,
18 is the age where my kids say "I'm 18 and I can do whatever I want." Oh..Grandpa Larry taught them to say that!
Does Ali have email?
The question is: what is 7 + 8.
7+8=15 9+9=18
I know I was being funny, cuz whoever has the right question or knows the right question?
Okay seriously now. 18 is when we are forced to become adults and no longer have a childhood.
Rich as for Ali, yeah hormones
remember me at 14 I hated people cuz they were just plain stupid.
Ava, reminds me of Tyler, is bored in school cuz they are smarter than the teacher, he is constantly challenging his teachers, I get the calls stating that Tyler is being disruptive in his Social Studies class cuz he is always questioning his teacher, and my reply is shouldn't the teacher be questioning her students. By the way he is getting an A in that class so I really don't get the phone calls.
Anway good luck with Ava as she gets older being as smart as she is.
Adam, hhhmm well you could always have him stay with mom for a bit ( just kidding) Please take a picture of his messy room and we can compare his and Tyler's, sometimes I don't think that Tyler has a floor. Tyler also at 14 was cocky and thought he knew everything, and yes a mouthy little $!!@(. Whenever he got that way we use to make him sit at the kitchen table with his feet flat on the floor and his hands flat on the table and couldn't speak. I know it sounds mean but it worked. better than getting walloped upside the head.
I also agree with David's comment
cuz Tyler is already saying it and he is not even 18 yet.
Have fun
Love Ya

Rich-
I am the perfect age to be Ali's "big sister". I remeber when I babysat your two oldest! Oh I miss that!
Ohhhh boy. Just ask me anything you want to remember about Marble St and I will tell you. I will tell you how you we're a big fat meany to me sometimes!! hahahahha just kidding... I do remember flipping you off a few times and saying the effenheimer to you... but other than that, you liked me best. Really, just ask me!!
hehehehehe
Good luck with the kids... oh to be 14 again. NOT!!!!
