I&#39;m still busy cleaning baby things - what memories they bring back.   Deb is doing well and plans to go into work for a bit today and goes back to the surgeon this afternoon so I guess my nurse duties are all over.   I&#39;ll just have to drive her around for a few more days.<br /><br />Cheryl - you can&#39;t blame Scotty for acting up but at least he has you as a stable influence in his life and a person he can always rely on.    We went thru a similar problem with Cait when he dad walked out when she was 5.    We had actually talked about moving from SI when she was about 8 or 9 but the school psycologist she was seeing at the time told me that Jim &amp; I were the only people she felt she could really trust and she would not be able to handle any more &quot;rejection&quot;  I&#39;m sure his little behavior problem is directly related to all the changes he has gone through.<br /><br />Ed - you certainly do keep busy.   You would never have time to fit in a full time job.   lol<br />Congratulations on the docs - you both need a break and this get-away sounds terrific.<br /><br />Sue - sorry your Mom is giving you a hard time.   You can always vent here and not have to apologize for it.   I think we all need to let off a little steam at one time or another and our Crazie friends here are always ready to list and offer advice.    <br /><br />Falina - I hope you are doing better today and you have a nice weekend.   You definately need a &quot;Me&quot; day and hopefully things will work out and you will be cruise shopping before too long.<br /><br />Deb - I tought Survivor was great last night.   Getting very interesting now.    Good luck to the kitty with the vet tomorrow.   How much longer must you wear the collar?   I thought you were done with that.<br /><br />Joey - the news we are getting from Ca. sounds encouraging that the failure of Prop 8 will not effect your marriage.  Hope we are hearing it right here as our Philly stations were also reporting on the &quot;rioting&quot; that was taking place in LA like Cheryl heard in Co. <br /><br />Jenn - happy to see all the laughs you posted.   It seems like we have our old Jenn back - I hope this means you are feeling better.<br /><br />Rose - I do the same things with my furniture - move it around and then decide it&#39;s better the way it was.   Funny you mentioned about storing the pictures in the same frame.  Yesterday we got TJ&#39;s 4th b&#39;day pictures and when I went to frame it found all his pics since his 1st b/day.   My how he has changed.     He went from a baby to a little man in just one year.<br /><br />Kevin - How is your son doing now that he is on the road?   I&#39;m sure you and Sharon will earn a few extra gray hairs when he is out at night.<br /><br />Robert - you&#39;ve been pretty quiet since you got back.   Hope all is OK and you are just keeping busy.<br /><br />Chris - how was your celebration the other night.   Hope it was a fun, safe one.<br /><br />Andrea - you and DH need that cruise and you shouldn&#39;t let your folks lay a guilt trip on you.   I know that is easier said than done but you do above and beyond for them.  <br /><br />Martha - guess I&#39;ll finally get working on our cabin crawl today before I get sent to the naughty corner. lol     <br /><br />James - how are you feeling?   Hope your step-son is feeling better and ready to accept some help<br /><br />Carmen - hope your hand is OK.  Grease burns are the worst.   <br /><br />Steve - I like your plan for getting rid of the winter white stuff.   One good thing about our place is we have no sidewalks and although it&#39;s a tiny little street with only 6 homes it&#39;s a direct route between a major road and the state police headquarters so we get plowed before anyone else.    First time a plow came down our street it scared us.   Not used to hearing that noise after living on a dead end street in SI for all those years.     <br /><br /><b>CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE </b>on his 1st Anniversary with CruiseCrazies.   You have become a valued member of our family Steve and I look forward to your daily posts.   I&#39;m looking forward to sharing a toast (or 2 or 3) with you and Lynda next year on Connie Goes Crazie.<br /><br />Time to bring up the high chair and start cleaning that.     I washed the cover to the little bouncy seat and remarkably it fit back over the frame so that is done.    I actually have a little clear spot in the basement now but I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll find something to put there.<br /><br />Make today special
