We survived
Well, the first week of school has come and gone with only minimal drama. Although, at the time, it seemed like major drama. The twins’ bus was an hour late the first day! An hour late! And no parent got a phone call (this is what really upset me). I had to call them to [...]
Back to school!
It’s back to school day for us, and since I haven’t updated my blog in…um…FOREVER…I thought today would be the perfect day to jump back in. I started back to classes last week. The boys have been both excited and apprehensive about going back. Alex was up a bit before I got up at 6 [...]
Speaking of routine
The boys are all due for their yearly physicals, so I scheduled the twins for theirs today. Might as well get them done and out of the way early, no? I was amazed to see just how much they’d grown in a year! Zach has gained 8.5 pounds and grown 2.25 inches. Not super growth [...]
Welcome to Holland
I belong to an online twins site. One of our forums is entitled :Here in Holland.” It’s a forum for those of us who have children with special needs of any sort. I always perused the forum to see what was going on with my TCO friends who frequent the forum. As of Tuesday, I [...]
Sometimes, being a pack rat is a good thing!
I am a pack rat. There, I said it. I have things saved that I’ve never used, but refuse to throw out because I’m afraid that as soon as I do, I’ll have a need for it and then won’t have it. I have a huge Rubbermaid bin full of boxes that I have saved [...]
I guess I look like I fit in…
My second day on campus and I was barely out of my van when I was approached to help find a couple of buildings by two separate people. One was easy to help. She was carrying a map (but was having a hard time deciphering it, I guess) and I pointed her across the street [...]
An interesting year
I’ve only had 2 of my 4 classes so far (the other 2 come tomorrow) but I can tell it’s going to be an interesting year. . My first class today could be interesting if the prof is able to entertain us, lol. It’s European Integration…basically it’s all about the E.U. He admitted the book [...]
It’s here
The first day of my re-entry to college is upon me and I have to admit that I’m scared to death! Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m uber excited. But being out-of-the-loop for 7 years and jumping back in is scary…at least for me. Maybe I won’t feel as out of place once I get [...]
I have been busy
I have had a busy 2 weeks and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. A week and a half ago, my grandmother passed away and I had to make my second trip to Indiana in a month for her viewing and funeral. It was a tough time for the family, especially [...]
Tom Divecchio is the mayor of Erie!
Ms. K told me two cute stories today when I dropped the twins off at school. Yesterday, on their way back from lunch, Mayor Sinnot passed them in the hall. She stopped the class and asked them if they knew who that was. None of them did. She then gave them a hint and said it’s [...]
