i had a big post wrote last night but blogger ate it…i hate when it does that!

i was on a little vaca, if that’s what you call it. last thursday i had a horrible gallbladder attack and drove myself to the er (yes, i got in trouble for this) at 1 am. once there they did blood work and found that my gallbladder was so bad it was affecting my liver. i had surgery friday and had my gallbladder removed. so i’ve been home for nearly a week recovering from this….watching tv, wearing pajamas, hanging out with the poochies, scrapping and starting to drag out my christmas decorations. i’m back to work today…and let me tell you i could sure use my pajamas back on!

in other news the kids got their report cards last thursday…they got such good grades!!! and guess what else, joey made the honor roll! i am so totally proud of both of them.

did anyone else watch the season premier of project runway last night? looooooove this show, for real.

out for now

this…it is a poem that joey wrote in school. when i read it, i cried. i kept asking him if he copied it from somewhere or the teacher helped and he told me no, it was an assignment for english class. i am amazed and so proud of this…of course i might be partial.

joe who loves earth

i am active and knowledgeable
i wonder if i will live peacefully
i hear the banging on a hollow tree
i see fog over the sea
i want peace on earth
i am active and knowledgeable

i pretend to have a good life
i feel my time will come
i touch the stars in the night sky
i worry if i shall have another worry again
i cried the day they split
i am active and knowledgeable

i understand he is good
i say never let the good stuff die
i dream peace will live
i try not to worry
i hope i will make a good impression
i am active and knowledgeable
