The NIGH****CHMAN - Monday 8/24
My day is getting ready to begin. Got some decent sleep. Got new sneakers in the mail today. Can't get good ones at the store. Something about "Show me what you have in size 14" that gets me nothing but blank stares. So I will see how these work out today.
Going to work. Gonna get to watch some Little League baseball on my TV while I work. Life is good.
Phyllis - hang in there. Let me know when you get your phone going.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Kids' first day went pretty good. No huge issues that I heard about from the girls! As soon as they got home, they were yappin' machines! Too funny. Now tonight is "sign my life away" night for moms and dad's (sheeeesh, the paperwork...) as well as "write a bunch of checks" night! Each kiddo has a list of things I have to write checks for so have to do that before each one goes to bed.
Ok, I'll check back in a bit...the two older girls are in a bit of a "tiff" so need to go figure out what's going on....
Thank you again for including me in the TMB prayer list. All went well and continues to seem that way. Please remove my name to make room for those with upcoming surgeries or other prayer concerns. I will continue to pray for our OH family and I'm so very grateful for you and all you do.
Be Blessed,
Nannette
Good day here. DD made it to the bus stop in time, and had a pretty good first day at school, I only heard about one "mean" teacher. I got through all of the "sign you life away" sheets and am so thankful I only have one to do this for. So far no $$$ requests, but know that is probably short lived! Something about a graphic calculator that's she's going to need for Algebra, just don't know when, and I'm not going to worry about it tonight.
Anyway, going to go hit the pillows. I hope everyone has had a blessed day and tomorrow be doubly blessed. Keep your heart and mind open, you might be surprised at what happens!
Prayers for all of the spoken and unspoken requests. Special prayers for all that are hurting tonight. Continued prayers for Elizabeth Grace's family.
Nanette, so awesome to hear that you are doing well!
Blessings to all,
Avis
You mentioned that graphing calculator....it's a lovely kick in the head at a little over $100 but they do use it. Heather, my oldest, needed it last year and again this year. The 9th grader will be using it too. Now, THAT calculator stays at home. The teachers do have them but they don't leave the classroom. We'll definitely get our money out if it with two kids using it. I did see one I believe in the Office Depot add that was a tad under $90 which is great. Might want to check into that one. Most of the time they are around $110 to $120. UUUUUGH, I know!!! Just make sure she leaves it at home because kids that take them to school get them stolen. Those other kids know just exactly how much they are so I have told my kids, "if you EEEEVER take that thing out of here and it gets stolen, YOU will rebuy one".
Get some good sleep!
