Hello from Jamie

good to hear from all of you!!! hope all is going well in your lives. been busy trying to fit moving in with our work schedules. i work days; hubby works nights, so its hard to get our schedules together enough to really get anything done. that, along with tying up all the loose ends up north – guitar lessons, appointments, school stuff, etc.

have moved all of the necessities, but its the little things that make some situations difficult. my son couldnt sleep, so he decided he had to have corned beef hash, eggs, and toast. problem…no can opener. so he pounded a key into the can a bazillion times until he could pry some hash out. then he realized that there was no pan to cook it in. bummer, but used microwave. then, no toaster:rolleyes: also trying to get used to not having a washer and dryer.

take care of yourselves! i havent had time to search back thru the threads to see whats up lately. jan, i remember reading about a big decision you and your hubby will have to make. good luck with that. you are a smart girl! im sure you will make the right decision!;)

yep! it is soooo good to have so much at our fingertips! the city we live in is amazing! there is just soooo much to do and experience. i asked my oldest son about the different races and cultures at school, and he just said there is every race and culture i could imagine:D that is soooo awesome!

my youngest son is funny cuz i’ll ask him what race his friend is and he’ll just say that he has no idea. i love it!!!

when we got to the mall, which is like 5 minutes away, it is the same way. i wish it was still warm out so i could take my kids to all of the outdoor stuff. a good thing though, i guess, cuz now we’ll have to search for the indoor things to entertain us. museums, theaters, cool stores and restaurants will be good for all of us.

my 7 year-old is desperately missing his AWOL cat, and hubby doesnt want another one. so, today we took him to this huge pet store and played with the up-for-adption kitties. i wanted one soooo bad but didnt feel like being grounded from the pet store, so i didnt argue wiht hubby about it. if i would have, then he’d avoid the pet store at all cost in the future:p decided though that my son and i would volunteer there, feeding and watering and entertaining the adoption kitties. excited about that!!! son is gonna love it and i think itll help him cope with missing his own cat.

i think i’ll take my oldest down the the soup kitchen so he can cook for the homeless and poverty-stricken of our city. he loves to cook and loves to talk with people who have been around the block and time or two. this, then, should be right up his alley.
