BIG BROTHER YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!

I don't know if I mentioned that on the
drive to swim camp my daughter spent
her time in the back seat with a stack of
scanned pictures and tape which to molded
into a tribute to her big brother for his
grad party. It is fantastic. Once I have
it all together and hung on Saturday I
will try to take a picture of it. She is going
to miss him.

I spent till 2:30 this morning putting my
embarrassing posters together with samples
of his school history. He packed alot in the
few years of his life that he has lived already.
I am very proud of the man he has become.

The final preparations are underway the next
few days. The hole is filled in at least in the back
yard. Still not pretty but nobody will fall in now.
I have spruced up the yard and it hasn't looked
this good in years. Its amazing what a little
motivation will do to make you do things you
have put off for a while.

Tomorrow will be a small break/visit. I meet
my friend Maria to do some shopping at Sam's
Club. She is so funny she said she is excited
because she has always had this card and gone
to the store and looked at the big pack of things
but being she lives alone she never got to buy
any of it. Now she can for Ian's Party. So we
will shop for big stuff and visit before the craziness
of Saturday.

If it wasn't for family and friends this party would
never have happened. With every body bring
something I hardly have to do any food prep at
all which works for me. I was freaking about
feeding possibly 50 people on Saturday. Money
and time wise I think we will be okay and not
go bankrupt. But boy am I going to need a long
nap/vacation when this is over. I will have to
figure something out for this year because I
am not going to camp. Yes I am sad it was like
my vacation away from home with only one
of my kids and getting fed and not having to
clean up. Simple things that make us happy.

Off to drop football players off to lift and then
more cleaning and fluffing for Saturday.

Calgon take me away.
