bron·chi·tis

official diagnosis. need to go back when I feel better & have my blood pressure checked. high blood pressure leads to horrible things. I read the posters in the exam room. I know.
got home from dr. in time to run katie to dance & pick up my Rx, home to walk sasha, 'do the chores', and throw kj's new fleece blankie for college in the washer. game plan is pick katie up from dance, return the defective bday camera to walmart, let her select another one. and possibly eat at toot-toots!
supposed to be our last nice autumn day.

the 3 K's

in the beginning, we said we'd have 4 children....Staci Lynn, John Kevin, Charles Dean & Debra Larice. when I was pregnant with Koren,she was Staci Lynn, until Kevin found the name Koren in a babybook. I added Marie.
when I was pregnant with KJ, Kevin wanted him to be "KJ" after his friend/insurance agent. so we came up with Karl Joseph. The girl name was Andrea "Andie" Rochelle. Rochelle was after a waitress at the cafe downtown where Kevin ate lunch most days since the smell of food made me sick.
I always knew our third baby would be Kirstie Lynn. then it was Mayzie (or Maysie...however the cartoon mouse was spelled) Grace or Katie Scarlett. Katie won out...named after my favorite heroine...Katie Scarlett O'Hara of Gone With The Wind. If she would've been a boy..Johnnie Turner after my great grandpa Axsom.
and the rest is history.....
my grandchildren already have potential names....
Harry Dick Dailey
Claire Wills
Briella Sky
can't remember all the boys names....

tuesday

already been a drag-ass kind of week....kevin & I walked sasha...I made ribeyes, frenchfries (kevin 's idea of a vegetable) & hominy for supper. katie opted for DiGornio pizza. go figure.
went ahead and did the bills for this payday...got online & got a return form for katie' s birthday camera....we'll try to take it back to walmart to exchange tomorrow nite when she is done at dance. made a dr. appt for tomorrow afternoon....coughed up some alarming Stephen King type green chunky wads of crud driving to work. enough is enough.
beautiful 70 degree day.

Happy Birthday Dear Katie

on November 2nd, 2010 Katie Scarlett turned 12. (just loaded pictures on computer...)

she got a hot pink digital camera in a hot pink bag...the camera worked for a few minutes...need to send it back....she picked supper at Pizza Hut....and ate leftover pepperoni pizza for days!

Koren & Cody's new house

Grain Valley, MO!

college

is such an amazing opportunity. Kj's bed makes too much noise. Zoology is hard. he doesn't have enough time to get to the 4 mandatory concerts for American Popular Music. I know he can do this. I KNOW he can! when you pay for something you expect it to be harder than what you get for free. he's worried about losing his scholarship. I just want him to keep his nose to the grindstone and not give up. it's only $. we'll just borrow more. we're investing in someone good here.

Sunday

slept in, cleaned kitchen counters. more blogging from the scrapbook.

katie is bored out of her mind.
