The NIGH****CHMAN - 6/3 - Thursday
Fending for myself today. Mary is at a scrapbooking convention. She made my breakfast before she left though, so all I have to worry about is lunch and supper.
Be back later.
Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
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.

Wellll, the days of quiet are over. School is out and the girls already started in on each other. Mostly due to arguing over who gets the "big TV". Good grief. Guess I'll have a rotation schedule! hehehe...
I did make one of the elementary school teachers cry today though. Nothing bad of course, but, today was her last day of teaching as she is retiring. She is actually a PE teacher but the last few years they have had her teaching the "Health" class. Basically trying to teach the kids early that McDonald's is poison - like drugs and alcohol! Nice. Oh well. She teaches what she's told to teach. She also was the Jr. High tennis teacher so has really gotten to know our girls well. She just loves Sarah and actually recently went to watch her at the tennis club. She was so impressed on how well she played for only being 8 yrs. old. One of her own daughters was heading towards a tennis career but got burned out. So, I showed up to school with a huge bouquet of carnations (my favorite since they smell so good!!!) and as I was walking up to where all the teachers were right before they dismissed kids, she said, "oh wow, aren't those just beautiful"? I said, "they sure are". She then said, "whoever is getting those will be so surprised." I said, "they absolutely will"....then handed them to her and said, "they are for you". She just turned into a sobby mess. She cried giving me a hug and said, "no parent has ever done that". I said, "well, they sure missed the boat because you are a phenominal teacher"! She is going to kick back and spend a few months out East in Boston enjoying time with her daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Good for her! She deserves it.
Hope Mary has fun at her convention. Is it all weekend long? Guess you and the dogs get some "bachelor" time! Paul gets that himself in the summer when I'm up home with the girls. He likes the quiet, but not for too long!
Need to get Sarah ready for bed. She came home at 1 pm and ended up falling asleep sitting upright on the couch for a couple hours! She needs to catch up on her sleep apparently. I told Heather to enjoy the sleeping in tomorrow because she has to get up bright and early on Saturday to take her SAT test. UGH....
TTYL.....
Very nice thing to do for the teacher.
The scrapbook convention is all weekend, but Mary only went today. Tomorrow I am off work, so she is going to spend time with me.
Heather ready for the SAT? Wish her luck.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
