News Flash

I've known about this news for a couple of weeks, but didn't know what to say about it, other than I am very happy. I know many people will probably think I'm crazy, but I have to follow my heart. Don has decided he needs to come home. We have some things we will need to work on of course, but we are both willing to try. I won't explain more of his reasons, because they are his if he wishes to share them with the public. I doubt he will though. What's important is that he shares them with me and A. Right now he will be home on the 16th (date subject to change). He had gotten a job up in Minnesota and put in his two weeks so that he is leaving on good terms in case we end up back in Minnesota. I am searching for a job in Minnesota, I still want to move back up there.

Kids Say the Darnest Things

Earlier this week I bought some giant strawberries to snack on. The kid and I both love strawberries. A. had three of them. It was time for her to get ready for bed and I started tapping her on the head with an empty paper towel roll. I asked her why her head was hollow and what happened to her brain. Her response was that her brain shrinks when she eats strawberries but that it would be ok because her brain would grow back while she slept. I love her quick wit. Lord help her friends and parents when the sarcasm of the teenage years is added.

Look What I Made Today

Fund Raiser

I went to a fund raiser today for a family friend. He's a Marine that served two tours of duty in Iraq without a scratch, then he gets home and gets hit by a car while playing football. That just plain sucks. He was hurt very badly and has huge medical bills and a lot of physical therapy to go through to get better.

What I did not know when I agreed to help out was that I was being set up to meet a guy. Apparently the friends had been talking me up to him for a little while. They made sure we worked together and he spent most of the day by my side. He seemed very sweet, buying me sodas, etc. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?
