Update...

Just a quick run down of the kids for those that follow these things...

I have decided that Alyx somehow picked up Uncle Lee's gene for money. She is loaded. And loans money to her broke family. We have to sign a post it note - place it on the front door - and she expects the money to be paid back immediately. Quite scary actually. She even counts it when it is returned. Not bad for someone in 2nd grade that is just now learning about money. My only fear - when do schools teach about interest...

Riley had her end of year Student Council lunch. She rec'd a wonderful certificate and has it proudly displayed on the fridge. She loves the whole politics thing. Oh - and the cast that was a lovely neon orange - is basically black with orange flecks. I swear half the town has signed that thing. And softball has started and she is so cute with her cast and her mitt.

Meesie was with Travis - broke up with Travis - back together with Travis. I am sure today will bring a new update. Thank heavens for Facebook or I would lose track. I had to tell her Lincoln volleyball coach that our family was uncomfortable sending out letters to our friends and family requesting donations to the volleyball team (the girls were asked to send in an address list & names). First of all, I didn't know that we were still fundraising in college - crap. Secondly, times are tough all over - wow. Chris and I talked - we are just going to do our own non-hassle fundraiser and send in a check. It was not a fun email to send - and I am not sure how well it was rec'd but at least I was honest and I feel better.

Kiel is back home - for three days. He leaves for LA on Tuesday morning. In the future, I will be vetoing these little 'unofficial' visits. This one is costing about $1000. Or at least, he will have to 'unofficial' a little closer to home and stay in a tent!!

AJ has a new 'friend'. I haven't met her. I have only seen a couple pictures on Facebook as she is one of AJ's friends there. They are going to a movie tonite. A friend at work won two tickets to the Brooks & Dunn/Jason Aldean concert next week and gave them to me as she will be out of town. I am not a country music fan - AJ is not a country music fan - but his 'friend' is! So, they will be going to the concert next Saturday night. I told AJ if you really like this girl, you will do a lot of things that make her happy that might not thrill you. Compromise and giving are great relationship skills...
