Lazy, summer days in journal land....

It's been a slow day here in journal land. I can usually count on at least fifteen or so new entry alerts in my mail box, but not today. I forget that kids are still in school in most of the country. Year end parties and festivities are still going on, and excitement runs rampant among the children as they wait for summer vacation....we are into week #2 of summer vacation here, and let me tell you, the excitement has worn off already. Wee one told me today that she can't remember what day it is....(unfortunately, I can never remember what day it is during the entire year!).

Betsy received her report card in the mail today. She got all B's, and I'm quite proud of her. She was in gifted classes this year, and the work was extremely hard. She studied at least three times a week, which for her is a lot. She is one of those lucky kids who don't have to crack a book, yet still gets an A. I was looking through her math book, and I couldn't believe freshmen were learning these things. Of course, I can't remember how many quarts are in a gallon....

I made an exceptionally good dinner tonight....and I wasn't even trying. I was rummaging around the pantry at around 4:30, and found a box of oven ready lasagna noodles. On the side was a recipe where you mixed ricotta cheese, mozzerella cheese, egg and spices, then roll it in the noodles and cook it with sauce and cheese on top. It turned out wonderfully! I tossed a salad and had rolls with it....it was a hit. Dh and Betsy cleaned their plates. My little italian food lover was at her Grammy's, so she missed out on my masterpiece. However, I'm sure she will have some for lunch tomorrow.

We ended up taking the truck for a spin to my parent's house. It started to storm, so wee one decided to come home with us. She was panicky that it would storm and she would be scared and need me.....how sweet! Of course, half way home she decided she really wantedto stay, and was mad for the next hour. Some Breyer's vanilla and Hershey's syrup fixed her right up! I had some too, in my British mug.....mmmmmm.

Hey, I just got an e-mail saying I was being featured in the Women's Community. I didn't even know there was one. I am a small blurb at the bottom with a link to my journal. How cool. Thank you Alice Mask, Assistant Program Manager, AOL Communities, Inc. I appreciate it! I'm also on Local Talk. Monica was featured there last week, and had a wonderful picture of her family, along with a link to her gambling boat entry. I loved that entry. But then, everything Monica writes is fun and exciting. I wonder how they decide to put people on these pages. I wonder how you get a job with AOL, choosing people to be on these pages???? LOL....

Well, enough rambling for this evening. It's after 11 and almost time for Family Guy. I love that show. Goodnight all.....sleep tight.....don't let the bed bugs bite....
