Surely not! That's as bad as my great niece Atlas. I don't think her grandmother has forgiven me for asking what my nephew was smoking at the time he came up with that!

Happiness is an unexpected hug.... Anon

MizT, your doc story would be funny if it wasn't so annoying. I'm glad you're going to get your flowers. I seem to remember last year or the year before you were only going to get a few because you weren't feeling the best, but it sounded like you had the whole nursery from here! Hugs

Vicki, you can come to my house anytime if you make cheesecake while you're here!! Didn't you say your internet stuff had just been upgraded? Grrr

Gail, I didn't see Critter - did you make that up?

Going shopping soon. I have to pick Alie up from school somewhere between 4.30 and 5 - music for sport doing long rehearsals. She has told me what part she has but I can't work it out. She wasn't there on the day of auditions so was going to play a tough boy but is now playing a mean girly girl... She thought the tough boy suited her better. I didn't laugh, though I was tempted.

Vicki, Atlas?? Her grandmother must have been smoking it too!

I got an unexpected hug this morning Vicki, Alie and I went for coffee/hot chocolate before school and she let me hug her goodbye!! I nearly fainted!

I can't wait to get a recording of Alie singing Popular!

Robert's granddaughter's name is Abigail Marie. Abby for short. She looks like an Abby.

My foot is killing me. I'm gonna take some painkillers then go to bed.

Abby is a nice name.

I'm going shopping, catchya later

I like Abigail too. One of the other great nieces is Abby. One of her sisters is Gabrielle but not as Belle.
Atlas has a sister called Ava - we wondered if she would be called Thesaurus or Dictionary.

Sorry, that should be she is known as Belle and not Gabby.
I have trouble keeping all their names right as we now have 18 great nieces & nephews with the 19th on the way.
I still have 9 nieces and nephews who don't have children. There could be lots of greats still to come.
Hubby's family have been breeding like rabbits.

Wow you have a big family Vicki! I have 2 brothers, 3 nephews and 2 nieces...

I lie! Hubby's side of the family, 3 nieces (one deceased), 4 nephews, and a few greats, only 2 of whom we know.

Good Afternoon my friends.
MizT, flowers to make you smile
Heidi, flowers for you too
and more for everyone else

Oh, my, you've been very chatty since I was here last night. Hello and Good Early Morning to everyone! No time to read, as it's nearly 2 a.m. and I need to try to get some sleep, even if my cough is determined to prevent it. Hope to get back sometime later today! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to all!

More flowers for you Julie, hope they do not make you sneeze

seemed to have lost a few.

Morning all. Having trouble sleeping, I've been up since just after 3:30 AM. D has a physio appointment today so I will try and grab a nap before I pick up the girls after school.

Coffee is ready.

Tami, hope things slow down soon for you.

Evening all,
Dana has just been here picking up some of her stuff. We're invited over for dinner next week.

That's a start, Suzy. Hopefully some lines of communication will open between you.

Mum, Ben wants to know if I can stay the night on the weekend.

No.

Why not?

Because.

Because what? know you are going to get that one.

I heard that one before too. Usually followed by, "But we're just friends."

Suzy, was that Alie asking for a night at a friend's house or Dana asking if she could spend the night at your house? I got lost somewhere.

I like Abigail Marie. I think it is a beautiful name and I love Abby for a little girl. She has a name she can grow into.

Alie wanting to stay at her boyfriend's house

Victoria, Atlas is not that bad. I teach in the inner-city (the hood) in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. I have some names for you. These are actual first names of students I have had, or known: Dionysus, Tyson, Precious, Passion, Unique, Cinnamon, Cynamon, Rood, Roudley (both sound like rude), Napoleon, Lafayette. I had in the same class Milan, London and Dakoda. I have had others that might be a little to unique to use publicly.

How do we explain why the answer is no??

Tell her the truth. It usually works better.

Coffee is ready for who ever wants a cup. I hope everyone has a great day.

But we're not going to do anything? His parents will check on us every 20 minutes and we'll sleep in separate rooms...

Tami, because you think nobody else would have the same name or because you think you'd get banned if you told us??

To protect the privacy of the students. Some of them are very original.

We've had slammed doors and tantrums - and I'm right!! I hate being a mother!!

Suzy, maybe you could suggest he comes and stays at your place. You have a spare room.

No you don't hate being a mother Suzy, you just hate this stage of it. I'm just pleased that I am passed all that, wouldn't go through it all again for all the tea in China/India.

Brenda, doesn't that imply we don't trust his parents - his mother at least seems lovely.

There is no because, no is NO.

At age 14, she is way too young to be staying over at boyfriends place...
