I know I've been MIA for what seems an eternity!!! I've skimmed most of the messages, I've been reading but not posting; just haven't had time. Welcome to all the newbies, happy birthday to the Birthday folks. Tammy, I'm so sorry about your friend's dog I can't imagine how you feel.

M-C you did a wonderful thing with the fundraiser! You are a very special woman!!! {{{BIG HUGS}}}
I have been making a couple of cards a week to send to DS#1. Though last week I was feeling so frazzled I pulled out a card that was left over from 2 Easter's ago! LOL Let him see our white rabbit again! heehee I so need to get some scrapping done. I still have NOT started on the 2 page LO's for my Aunt, all 8 sets still need to be done. They only need them in 2 weeks! OH my I really need to get moving, just can't get motivated.
All is well at our house, DS#1 has been busy with AIT, will graduate on the
15th of Nov. He'll then come home for 20 days, get married and then go to Korea. DS#2 has been promoted to an officer in JROTC at school, he's also Color Guard Commander. He's ready to take his driving test but I need to get DH motivated to get a little car for DS to drive around. Speaking of cars, DH bought me a 2008 Ford Escape!!!! It's red metallic in color, I love it, but miss my van. The van was SOOOO comfortable. However, the Escape is more economical for us at this point as I'm on the road allot. He traded in his truck as it was on it's last leg and was in need of a transmission and a number of other items. DH is now driving the van. Since he gave up Manland he is "manning up" the van! ROFL!!!!!
Melissa has a job!!!!! YEAH!!!! She finally got on with Michael's. She's seasonal help but we can cross our fingers and hope that they want to keep her on afterward. She has also finally passed the written test so she now has her learner's permit to learn to drive. She will now get a crash course, no pun intended, in driving so that she has a license in about 6 weeks. I need to have my knee looked at again and the dr. said that next time I come in he's going to schedule me to have it scoped & I won't be able to drive her to work for a while. So, she has to get driving; that and she probably won't get time off to go see DS#1 graduate and I'll be upset if she isn't driving and I have to stay home to schlep her skinny butt around. I told her that and she just looked at me and said, "I didn't think of that".
Speaking of my knee. It SUCKS!!!! I am exhausted all the time from the pain. It hangs up and when I try to extend it it will lock up then make a really loud POP when it releases. To make it worse, I tripped on over our elderly dog the other night. The more I tried to not step on him the more I stepped on him. I finally ended up landing on the floor, bad knee first. DS#2 came down the hallway with a horrified look on his face. He called my Dad to come over and the 2 of them helped me up. my Dad picked up Melissa from work, and put me to bed with the bags of ice. It's better now but it still hurts. It's amazing what kind of pain one can get used to.
