WEDNESDAY - September 12th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies. How is everyone this morning?  We had a very exciting and nerve wracking night last night.  I was just finishing up the dinner dishes when Deb called that she needed us ASAP.  We went up to find that Ash had fallen in the foyer and split open her chin.  She was chasing TJ and ran through the carpeted family room onto the ceramic tiles in the foyer and went flying.  We  knew immediately from all the blood that this was going to be a run to the ER.  Mike had already left for work so we called him and had him turn around and meet us at the hospital then Deb &amp; I left for the hospital with Ash and left Poppy with TJ.  (WHY I keep asking myself now - I should have stayed with TJ and send big strong Poppy to supervise this ordeal.)  Our poor little girl needed 4 stitches under her chin.  Thank heavens it was under her chin and won&#39;t show.  She was so scared - the Dr. was really good with her but they started before she was completely numb.  They now use some type of gel instead of shots but because the split was so deep it didn&#39;t work and they had to give her several shots - all the time with her arms tied down and her eyes covered.  She was really terrified.  I must admit Deb &amp; I were a little weak kneed through the whole thing.  <br />
<br />
Cheryl - &#036;300 worth of cookie dough - Wow These schools get you coming and going don&#39;t they.  I know someday Scotty will really thank you for stepping up like that and helping out.  Ashleigh has to sell &quot;Cash Cards&quot; to various stores - fortunately one is to the store we shop at.  She has to sell &#036;2500 worth - and the way it goes the family has to shell out the money to start and if they sell the cards they can keep the money - if not they are out &#036;2500.  There is a whole list of merchants who take the cards and the school gets something like 4% when they cards are redeemed.  I know we will buy more than our share since we shop in Giant anyway but it is just the idea that they HAVE to buy them that irks me.  <br />
<br />
Big Brother went as predicted last night.   I will absolutely scream if  either of the Denatos win but I don&#39;t like Zack either.  Should be an interesting show on Tuesday<br />
<br />
Tonia - thanks for asking - Deb is doing OK.  Still running around in her very professional business suit and a pair of Crocs since she still can&#39;t get a shoe on the foot but fortunately she has a job where she can sit most of the day.<br />
<br />
Jenn - Todays the day&#33;&#33;&#33; Hope you, Hugh and Crazie have a great cruise.   Take lots of pics and then put them in the new album Jason started for Crazie.   <br />
<br />
Robert - hope you will continue posting here.  I know you are busy but we will really miss you.  I know you have a lot going on with the approaching weddings.  When will they be?  Will it be a double wedding or 2 seperate ones?  (Get out that checkbook Father of the Brides- my son says that is all he does recently and his DD&#39;s wedding is not until next May)<br />
<br />
Rose - I can&#39;t believe your Mom is home already- boy they don&#39;t let you stay in the hospital long do they.  Although it probably is for the best to get the patient out of there and home ASAP.  Good luck with the move - after that I hope you will be able to rest a bit.  <br />
<br />
Jackie - Branson sounds like a great stop.   Are you seeing any special shows while you are there?  How long do you plan on staying there?<br />
<br />
Sue - sounds like you have your hands full with just 1 dog.  Are you getting ready for your cruise yet?  I always start packing way too early.  <br />
<br />
Well time to start my day and get Jim moving.   Have to watch the grandkids this afternoon so will need to get dinner prep done first after I decide what to cook.   <br />
<br />
Make today special and share a smile.
