FRIDAY - April 20th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies...We have a busy day planned for today starting off with &quot;Grandparents Day&quot; at Ashleigh&#39;s pre-school.  Deb told me last night that not only is it Ash&#39;s class (18 little 4 and 5 YO&#39;s) but it is also the afternoon class (20 of the little ones) so it should be very interesting to say the least.  Also this AM our little guy goes to the dentist for the first time.  He fell yesterday and chipped one of his front teeth and will have to have it looked at.  They wanted to take him yesterday because at the least it will have to be filed down - it is cutting the inside of his lip - but because of his heart condition he has to be on medication before he can go to a dentist or have any invasive procedure.  I must admit I would rather face nearly 40 little ones than take TJ to the Dentist.  LOL<br />
<br />
Yesterday Jim took my SUV in for a tune-up before our trip and as feared we did need new brakes so that was &#036;&#036;&#036;&#036;&#036; but at least we know it is safe for our trip .  I decided that since I would be housebound for the whole morning I would pull out the iron and press off the few things that needed pressing for our trip.  I had one sleeve of his shirt pressed when the power went off&#33;   (I personally took this as a sign from a higher power that I should not be ironing and put everything away LOL)  We were without power for more than 4 hours so all my plans were shot so I took Jim&#39;s car and went to the mall.  <br />
<br />
Thanks for your concern for Jim - he is gradually getting used to his sleep machine - not sure I am though.  The problem right now is everytime he moves, the mask moves and air leaks out in a high pitchen whistle.  I know it will take some getting used to so we shall persevere.  <br />
<br />
It sounds like everyone here is very busy.  I will really miss hearing from you each day while we are away.  I never did get the laptop I was looking at.  I guess I&#39;m like a lot of other people - I would easily spend that money on others but not on myself.  I just couldn&#39;t justify the expense.  <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a terrific day.  We are finally due some nice spring weather here so I know I will be wearing a SMILE&#33; - hope you will too.  I&#39;ll be back later to let you know how the day went.
