It was a tough month but somehow I manged to make enough $$$$ to keep us afloat with straws mind you but practically above water. So..jeff is home and okay not all together himself but Jeff nonetheless.Not that other guy who lived here a few weeks back hee hee shhh doncha tell him... our secret...Olivia is amazing and doing really well. Shes off camp and school for a whole week here though and well if I play one more game of sorry or poker..UGGGG but she JAMS on her bike now shes a trip. She told me today as she stopped after racing down the block on her bike....You know mom... I am a wonderful community helper .." oooooooooookkkkkkkkayyyyyy Olivia ttthhhats great....we went shopping today and she trips me out. Do you know the child can count to 100 ? I was pretty impressed. and that she actually does know what PUNCH BUGGY RED lol ouch... and girls ladies she's turning into a much more mature girl here. UGGGGGG YIKES CRAZY UGGG HELP...... freaking me out ....maturing waaaaaaay faster than I did. sheesh i was a late bloomer due to gymnastics 8 hrs a day 5 days a week. and she is sooo excited to go to her acting class she has been practicing in her room and gets very embarassed if I don't knock which I do EVERY TIME now...listening to her correct herself and talk into the microphone and giggle is a crack-up in and of itself.gotta go getting very sleepy.

;D hi surfer dude is great...lol....thanx 4 asking..... he goes with our adopted 11 year old neighbor every day to the park around the corner,goes to the library for a couple hours of games and reading then off to the pool at the park from 2-6pm. His buddy comes here like clockwork. Lest I say our adopted son. he gets here at 10 am and leaves when the sun goes down about 8 30 pm. Kyle goes to laker camp inaugust and he is starting soccer for the first time. Westchester where we live is BIG on soccer and we have never had the $$$ to send him but my wonderful dad paid for it. COOL HUH?? He is so excited. He had a crappy class last year in school with his awful class and next year the principal made it up to him by giving him the greatest teacher and class. he is soo happy . At the end of the year the 5th graders get to go to Catalina island for 3 days as a graduation thing. Pretty cool too. Plus he just got the results of the gate testing and he is in so that is cool too. eh? so he will get the xtras that gate students get so next year could be the best year for him and I am soo glad.he's always been kinda the kid that doesn't get the recognition he deserves so I am glad someone is (the principal of the school) taking an interest in him. that is neat.so now that I've gushed he is also getting the teen attitude early. I am embarassing and sometimes I get him back LOL....so he rides his bike skateboard goes to the library and swims all day pretty cool he lost 9 pounds so far since 2 weeks ago. He is so active now. I took the video games upstairs into my room so if he wants to play em its harder ya know??? HUGS steff

I've been thinking (and praying) about/for you guys! Glad Jeff is home and hope things will remain stable now. Liv just cracks me up...what's she like, 16 now??? LOL! I don't know what punch buggy red is, so now I feel left out. Hope the summer is great...sounds like it sure started out that way! Good to hear from you!!!

Steff - thanks for the update on Liv, she cracks me up. Glad things are going a little better for you guys. You have such a wonderful attitude about things, I'm sure that helps getting through rough times.
A. & Cbean - I think she is probably referring to the game of when you see a VW Bug and you punch someone in the arm that's in the car with you.
That right, Steff?
