Now off to...you guessed it..."real life" ... see you at lunch break!!!!
Have a wonderful day everyone.  HUGS to you all!!!!

 
Good evening, ladies!

CEK, you sweetie ... thinking about everyone else when it's almost DISNEY time!!! 😊 Yes, we are all moved in. Finally got sod put in yesterday and started putting together the kids' new trampoline - as promised!! They start school Monday (boo!!!) so I'm guessing I'm gonna be a little sad for a few days - my baby will be in full-day kindergarten this year ... waaahhhh!!! I'm starting a new job the week after - my first outside the home in nearly 13 years. I am going to assistant teaching at the preschool where our youngest attended last year. I'm going to be working in the two-year-old room two days a week! His teacher from last year called and asked me to apply ... I was quite flattered and like her a lot so decided to give it a whirl. More babies to cuddle while mine are at school! 😊

Oh, Tennessee....baby of the family going off to all-day kindergarten.  I remember this too.  And yet, you have to be so non-chalant and up-beat, so "worrying about mama...she's sad"  isn't a burden put on them at all.  

Your idea to work part time is great.  And remember, these little empty nest experiences are toughening you up for the Big One.    I read somewhere long, long ago that motherhood is simply a series of goodbyes.  We help them learn steps toward independence...and then Yikes!  they become independent.  

I'll bet your Tennessee home is beautiful.  So happy that you are finally settled.  And maybe you'll have a little more time to visit with us.  We're hoping that the coming season of DWTS will offer some fascinating celebrities and interesting couples.  I remind myself that I was not going to watch Season 19 at all - only tuned in to see if possibly Meryl was in the audience - and ended up loving the season.

You Know, I hate to say it, but I kind of think she will use this injury to miss several of the Chicago performance shows.  With the rumors of her not being able to remember her lines, them keeping the other girl on contract (forgot her name) and everything else "going around with this show".  I think her using this would help her save face as well as the producing company to save face.  Honestly, I am not sure if her injury at this point is that bad.  I do think she hurt herself, but didn't they cast her after her injury?  Can't remember, but to me, at this point......I think she is trying to "protect" herself as well as the show by saying she can't do it. IMO only

Thanks for the update, April. It's always good to hear from you. I hope your daughter can be in school with her friends; senior year is special, and I know she wants to be part of everything. Let us know about the nieces; are they first babies or do they have older siblings? Love you.
