stuff

we have had a sickness running through our house. it has gotten 4 of us and the other 4 are wondering who will get it next. its just a 24 hour stomach bug but none of the remaining survivors want it. it been kind of a lottery of sorts.


i was having a conversation with a friend about buying squirt some new jeans. she asked if she wanted designer jeans and i said oh no she doesn't care just as long as she has some jeans. well i was wrong. i took her down to our favorite resale shop and pulled several jeans off the rack and you should have heard her squeal when the lucky jeans fit and were in our price range. she was beside herself with joy. who knew. i have gotten spoiled because she has to wear a uniform to school and she has been growing so fast that i just don't buy her alot of normal clothes. so a word to the wise - teenage girls like designer clothes, who knew.


college is going good. i have finished my orientation course and i'm getting started on my first real class - basic college math. it seemed a pretty safe class to take first. the first chapter is whole numbers. how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. i think i can remember that but the second chapter is on fractions. it has been roughly 29 years since i have had junior high math. my 14 year old will be able to teach me the fraction part. she is actually chomping at the bit to teach me fractions. i know i'm sad. i'm almost 40 and can't remember fractions. i know just enough to double a recipe. so very very sad.



we have a sickness lottery winner. Dad is the lucky one. 5 down 3 to go.



my sister and oldest niece will be leaving in the next few days so my house will get back to normal....well as normal as it ever is.
