PROUD MAMA!
I have been SO proud of my kids this week! They really just amaze me sometimes! They must have had a growth spurt or something!
Yesterday my son did his homework neatly, correctly and efficiently. Sure, I suppose most parents would find that normal behavior but my son hates homework! He is very intelligent but a little disorganized and he loves to daydream. I love daydreaming too, so he must get it from me! Fourth grade was full of arguments, threats, tears, all to try to get him to finish a few simple assignments. Well, maybe a new year and a new teacher brings positive changes. I see a really big improvement with him and I have faith that this is going to be a better year! Way to go, son!
Today my daughter had hula class. They are currently focusing on Tahitian Hula. She has been dancing for only a few months and gets better each week. Tonight though, something just clicked for her. She came home and practiced more after class and WOW, she was really fantastic! She says “I got my butt!” meaning when she watches herself dance in the mirror, she can see her butt / hips making perfect circles. I am so proud of my hula girl.
In other news, I (or my computer actually) is apparently a SPAM ZOMBIE. My email account was suspended because there was a complaint of Spam coming from my email address. Great, I don’t know if that means some kind of hacker is sending Spam through my computer or maybe I’ve mentioned cooking Spam, Eggs and Rice in too many e-mails! I need to take care of this problem soon before my computer explodes - I cannot live without the internet.

Congrat’s on your childrn growing up! It gets better! As for the SPAM problem…I’m laughing cause you sent emails cooking spam, eggs and Rice? I better not mention that too…I would definitely go coocoos without my computer! Try contacting your server by phone and inquire about the problem. Hackers can make you look like the sender and you can get into BIG trouble. You’re innocent. I hate SPAMMERS! they take so much of my time getting rid of them. Worst, I get the pharmasutical, Poker and X-rated ones. Ssshhh.
Good luck,
Lynn

Loren: get Microsoft’s AntiSpyware program, and use it. And then, download Firefox and use it instead of Internet Explorer. And while you’re at it, make sure you run antivirus software as well. Good luck.

Hi Glen, Thanks for the advice, I’ll work on this tonight. Hopefully it will work and keep me from sending others spam!

Hi Auntie Lynn, Gosh, I was looking for you too but I found your link to your new site! Way to go! I’ll be a frequent visitor!
But yeah, don’t mention Spam and Eggs or Spam Musubi either!
Hmm, maybe they know exactly what kind of emails to send to us! Funny that my husband always gets spam emails for medicine to enlarge certain body parts. snicker snicker.

mmmmm…. spam & eggs…. spam musubi. now you all got me hungry!
kids are great aren’t they! my little one just started to roll over all over the place in his crib. time to take out all the toys! (i know i know, shouldn’t have been in there anyway…) now we have to dress him warmly, cause there’s no way a blanket is going to stay on the little buggah!
i hate spammers too. i went 4 years w/o them finding my address before i started signing up for all this baby stuff. then somehow i have ads for cialis, viagra….. hmmm who are those baby sites selling my email to???? obviously my man didn’t have a problem or i wouldn’t be signing up…… ha ha. have a great weekend!

Hi Jenn T,
Kids are great, I can’t think of anything that makes me happier! I guess we all break a few of the rules the kid experts set for us. We’d go crazy trying to follow everything by the book.
Ha ha on Cialis and Viagra! Good point!
