Oh, you were so right, Sanra! Pure heaven to wake up in my own bed.

Thanks, essee.

Very busy day for me....I hardly sat all day and then I joined a long term project researching cancer. They were looking for 50 000 people to join in the province and will be monitoring our health and activity levels for umpteen years. Today I had 5 vials of blood pulled, blood pressure checked and measurements taken.

I think it would be interesting to participate in this. Cancer in general or one particular form of cancer?

Wonderful news you are home and in your own bed. Take care and don' t try doing too much. My prayers are for you.

. Thanks, Carti!

Hope this gives you a chuckle. At dinner tonight Alex noticed that boys and noise rhyme. I commented that was true but it was also true that boys are noisy. So tonight while he was supposed to be brushing his teeth before bed he was standing next to me chattering then just making random loud noises. I was trying to concentrate on what I was doing. So I shushed him. He grinned and made heavy breathing noises. I shushed him again. He started making noises again. "Aren't you supposed to be brushing your teeth? And why are you so noisy?" He grins and says "I'm a boy" then skips off to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Just what we need another smart a$$ in the family.

Love your story, Cheryl. Sounds like something DGS, Jacob, would do and say!

Very pretty, Sands. DGD, Josie, won't sit still long enough for you to do her hair!

He thought that his first bit of writing was not good enough so he had to change it, and that stressed him out completely.

He actually has taken up drawing! I've given him several sketch books, and whenever he feels stressed he picks it up and doodles and I've also given him some stress putty, which is like a clay which he manipulates when he gets stressed.

This sounds so much like DS and DGS...that whole perfectionist thing.

Paperlady, EG and Hoozie, thank you for your beautiful cards!

There are so many things you never think about.

This looks far more difficult that the feather braid! This is gorgeous!!!

Well, how come I've never thought of that?! Guess I should have talked to you, PQ.

Bless his heart.....he is an over achiever......life is tough for the ones that strive for perfection.

Mmmm.. a bit dubious re the painkillers you were downing , or what liquid you were using to down them with ??? Just kidding.. I can see how that could throw you quite a bit !!
