Hannah, I love you so much. Part of being a kid is learning and part of being a parent is making sure your kids learn. That is what is happening here. Learn, OK?
Love you, Mom

We are trying to teach Hannah those “more grown up” lessons right now on friendship….and gossiping and assertiveness and other big girl things.
It’s hard to teach, they kind of just have to learn it. We try to model it the best we can and Derek and I treat each other with respect, we are old friends.
Hannah is trying to find her voice. She is shy and unassertive. She discovered that email is an easy way to take care of the issues that she didn’t want to discuss in person. I guess that is the first pitfall of this communications era, less face to face dealing with of problems.
So, after a few warnings she is finally cut off from emailing with friends. As of this afternoon, she is only allowed to email family.
Cry me a river, will ya? She did….a lake, an ocean and and a tributary (Can you tell we are studying for the Geography Bee?)
She didn’t say anything bad, really….but you know how when words are typed out and just sit there and stare at you? They just seem worse. Mostly it was, “Why did you ditch me at recess?”, “Why were you playing with so and so when you said you didn’t like her” etc. etc. But enough of the whaa whaaa that….well, it was enough. She is a sweet, sensitive, nice girl and she needs to learn to assert herself in person.

So, I have not been sharing my garage sale finds with you lately. Mostly because I hardly ever go anymore…..but if we have an extra $10 on a Saturday morning, you better believe that I am out there.

Here are a few from the last few months.
This is a pin cushion. You put a thimble in the birds mouth to store it, pretty clever.

Isn’t this wooden bowl gorgeous? It was $5.
This is a vintage laundry hamper, it has a pearlized lid. It needs to be cleaned up a bit but for $10, I was thrilled. It is so cute and will make a very cute nightstand or printer stand.
I have a few more things but don’t have pictures yet of them. Later.

I’ve been meaning to share this photo on my blog but kept forgetting to ask Derek if it was OK. I finally did and he said he thought it was fine. This is what my husband does for part of his job now. He flies the plane behind him and flies people to meetings and events. This was him flying John McCain to the home of the Rancher that got shot and killed in AZ because of the border issues. Derek is on the right of McCain. Cool Beans.

Ok, well…………………I am off to get the girls ready for school and then I get the joy of going to the Periodontist today and then swinging by the hospital to pick up the Barium that I get to drink tonight for my CT scan in the morning. Yuck. Joy.
Oh yeah, and not complaining or anything but we just had to go almost 5 days with NO HOT WATER in our house. Our water heater blew up on Saturday. Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. Great. We have a home warranty that we had bought but we had to go through their contractor and wait, wait, wait until Tuesday…and then they said, “Oh yeah, you’re gonna need a new water heater”….um yeah, DO YOU SMELL ME? Do you see my HUGE pile of dirty dishes? So finally last night at about 7:30pm, we got our new water heater and even with the warranty it cost us $400, so I guess no garage sales for a while……..but I can take a hot shower now!!
Have a great Day
