"'Kate" wrote in message ... Over the back fence: My sister emailed. She said our brother's wife (SIL) is dialating. :-) My brother's third daughter, my third neice. He doesn't mind the harem. I'm glad I'm not the one having the baby! She sent along the caption to a cartoon that she saw and it reminded her of me so I'm posting it for you guys: Being parents of teenagers is like carrying a piano on our backs but being a single parent of teens is like trying to catch a piano from 3 floors up... The fall semester ends in 5 weeks. I can't believe Christmas is nearly here and Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks. If I blink, will it be 2005? Love to hear from everyone... updates, gossip, etc. Cheers! 'Kate PS... Joelle... you are missed. Good to hear that Kate! A new baby is always brings a renewed sense of being, in my opinion. All is well here. Just studying for LSAT, working and taking care of the kids. One is getting braces the first of the year, so we are "bracing" for that financially! Pardon the pun. heh V PS. Where is Joelle? |

"Cele" wrote in message ... snip Paul and I have bought our tickets to New York for Christmas. Maybe we'll get time to post over the season and let you all know how we're liking it. Pete and T are very impressed that we've actually bought the tickets and are really going. Anyone else going to be in NYC for Christmas, and fancy a get together? OK! Sounds like fun! I wished I were in NYC for a bit. Just to see some shows and gawk. T is doing really well. She's just finished her senior work experience and got an A. They were very impressed with her, and it did her no end of good to have such a fine evaluation. Always good! Gosh, a Senior. Proms, college tests, and so much more! We moved out of my parents' place and into our own 2 bedroom apartment and it's working out well. We're right on public transit and I *finally* have a short commute to work. Woman, I know it has to be nice. I used to sleep on the Transit and had a lady wake me up when it was my turn to pull the cord. Ah....a short commute.....wow, I am jealous! Work is challenging, at times frustrating, and interesting. It's quite something starting a whole new programme and while the responsibility is huge, so are the potential rewards. We're gradually beating the challenges into submission and I'm starting to feel like we can really do something good for kids, which is a good feeling. It is always a good feeling to know you are assisting someone's betterment in life. You go Cele! D and M moved out of my parents' place a couple of weeks ago and are very happy in their new, 3br apartment. They're both working, which is good. I think that D will get bored eventually and go back to university, but if she doesn't, it's her life. As long as she's happy and functioning well, I'm not complaining. Last week, on Friday, she piled up her car. On Monday, someone drove into mine. And on Monday night, T got mugged. So life continues lively, but we continue to stay on top of it. :-) Yeeps. Mugged? Geesh. Could she ID the mugger? Ahem, like that will make much of a difference eh? I think we're all *really* looking forward to Christmas this year. Cele I am too. This is the first year, though, I will not have my grandmother here and I am aware it will be difficult. I am only trying to embrace it. V |

Subject: Updates? News? Let's hear it!
From: 'Kate Date: 11/7/2004 9:42 PM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: Over the back fence: I've heard good fences make good neighbors? My sister emailed. She said our brother's wife (SIL) is dialating. :-) My brother's third daughter, my third neice. He doesn't mind the harem. I'm glad I'm not the one having the baby! smile Babies are so sweet ! Congrats auntie Kate ! Having babies at our ages is unthinkable , absurd, crazy...... nope! She sent along the caption to a cartoon that she saw and it reminded her of me so I'm posting it for you guys: Being parents of teenagers is like carrying a piano on our backs but being a single parent of teens is like trying to catch a piano from 3 floors up... LOL! yep, that's me under that piano many times........... The fall semester ends in 5 weeks. Does that mean you get a break ! Good for you...enjoy ! I can't believe Christmas is nearly here and Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks. NO WAY ! We did not even finish the Halloween candy yet........ If I blink, will it be 2005? Just don't blink us backwards, it has been a long hard climb. Love to hear from everyone... updates, gossip, etc. Cheers! 'Kate PS... Joelle... you are missed. Well, not much different for now, here in P.A. gettin colder, even had some ice on the pumpkin recently . My widdle brother gave me a 1998 ford windstar minivan, cause he got himself a promotion and a company car ! He is such a great brother, always trying to help . My 20 year old truck is still kicking but I put it away for the winter. S is taking her meds regularly and is back home now. I see a glimmer of light beyond the dark clouds .....The baby is walking and even using two word sentences at 10 months old ! She has a cold and ear infections though I'm not back to work yet , may be able to be home for the winter months which is great . M is working midnights and has picked up a part time respite job working with a high functioning autistic 14 yr old boy. She loves her work ! So I have taken to the stay at home mom/grandmom role for a while. It is rather nice to be honest. Life has had its ups and downs, but it's not so bad after all ! I'm gonna have the big christmas eve family gathering at my house this year, I'll do all the cooking like Dad use to do J will come home from school for a couple weeks over the holiday break, I haven't seen her since last holiday. If the dog M brought with her does not stop peeing on my couch we will have stuffed Malamute for thanksgiving dinner ! Guess that's about it for now. Have a good one ! Bev |
