Hey, guys, how is everybody out there?
Here's what's going on Chez Clueless.
We took a quick trip to Asheville to meet up with another China family. Had a blast. I am definitely getting better from Thyroid Terror, but I'm still so tired and my laigs still hurt. Back to the doctor tomorrow.
I'm dreading going back to work on August 6, but I'm also kind of looking forward to it. I love my job. I don't think I'll ever fully retire. I like the action.
We've all been hanging out together 24/7 and we're all getting bored. The kids are playing "school".
Thanks for all the great reading suggestions--my you guys are creative! I'm already using them. I never thought about using the function on the tv where the words appear--Awesome idea.
Everybody has already read Chew, but if you haven't, I suggest it. Chew has an interesting topic up. Are all children adopted internationally special needs simply by definition? I have thought a lot about that. There is no question that my girls were different people on Adoption Day than they would have been if I'd raised them since birth, but there have been no serious problems. My definition of special needs is a child who needs professional help to overcome a physical or mental obstacle. Under that definition, no, my kids weren't SN. Lots of kids are, though.
I've finished Harry, and I bawled my head off, and btw, it isn't BALLING my head off. I see that all the time on blogs and it makes me want to disembowel myself. Ok, I've got that off my chest.
I chopped off all my hair since it was falling out anyway due to Thyroid disease, and I got to witness a hilarious redneck throwdown at my upscale, stylish beauty salon (Walmart). Complete with cops and all. "Get out of my salon, you white trash ho!" were some of the more gentle exchanges. "You ain't getting your money back for your flatiron and haircut, you bitch!"
I like my hair. It's SASSY.
cyaltr. (Madeleine's now talking like text messages) Madeleine has discovered chat rooms and registered as something like hottie3428 and has struck up a friendship with a 13 year old named Alex. Needless to say I'm delighted/putting Net Nanny on her computer/yanking it out of her room/sending her to convent school/sending Alex an email informing him that hottie3428 has a daddy with a gun, a large farm, and a shovel.
I don't think Madeleine has a clue as to what "hottie" implies. I suggested that when she's 30 and gets to go online unsupervised, she might consider sweetinnocentwithagunowningexcopfather3434 instead.

Yowza, how many years did you age when you found out about her account?
That is really scary. How do you make sure the kid Alex is really 13?
Hope you can read all her messages.

Geez, I have a 13 year old named Alex who goes to various chat rooms, wonder if is him? That would be funny, actually. I read your blog, your daughter and my son are "chat-mates". I know, still scarey when our kids get to the point of doing stuff like that though. Find out if he is from Wisconsin and if so, then we might want to talk. ;)
And you thought your hair falling out was from the thyroid problems... :)
Good mama!

Love the chat room handle. Would freak out if it was my kid. Oy.
I'm afraid that Jen/Chew has turned me and about a million people off with her tiresome screeching. Could be an interesting discussion, but not on her blog.
Meredith looks so grown up in that picture. I'd like to see one of your new do!
The only chat room my kids use is Webkinz, where the messages are all pretyped. Don't let them find out if can be done any other way!
you are too funny sometimes
Just so you know, I asked my 13 year old Alex last night if he was on a chat room with hottie3428 and he said he only does yahoo and msn messenger instant messaging. So I guess us being mother-in-laws in the future is out, dang it. ;)
Hope you figure it out soon.
