The summer calendar is ready for input. Those with Gmail accounts should be able to go to the Google Calendar listing once you sign into Gmail and choose the "Met in Memphis Moms" calendar. Just put your name on the dates you know you wouldn't be able to get together. All of us are registered to make changes so it should work.
Carole, I didn't have a Gmail email address for you so I'm assuming you don't have one. I sent an invite to the Blog address on file so you should have gotten that. I don't know if you will be able to add to the calendar or not. Worse case, once everyone else has, I'll send it to you as a PDF or something and get your input.
Hope this works out.

dad duty
well,
It is always interesting when a dad thinks something is important.
He usually tries to enlist the mom to rally to his aid.
Nothin doin. I am letting him handle this on his own.
Packing is one thing I have delegated to my children...how else will they learn what to bring/is needed. I give them the itinerary...they go from there.
I take my cue from the dad of one of Kevin's friends: lots of underwear will fix any lack of
clothing.
keith decided at the last hour(s) to go over what Kevin has packed/will need.
I was fast and furiously typing an e mail to the choir teacher for dress code.
Keith decided that kevin needed an ironed white shirt for the tux and likely
was hoping I would take over......exit living room to the restroom for a bath.
K: How do you turn on the iron....
C try plugging it in.
K does it heat up on its own....
C with water...turn up the steam...the thingy with the clouds.
K...humpf...
C.....this time I turn the shower on.
Prior to this it was (Keith) : kevin here is what I figure you need for meals
k...dad, that is too much...
(mom e mailing the choir teacher for # of out of pocket meals)
Corinne and I have been hand signaling each other...22 , 21, 20 1/2....hrs to go till Kevin is gone.
I was supposed to go on this trip.... Keith is going to shreveport thurs a.m and coming home friday night at 10 or 11p...I am here with corinne and the menagerie of pets.
good night,
c

I'm Still Here
Hey All,
I should be cleaning my bathrooms but I really don't want to so decided it's been so long since I posted, this is priority :)
The school play was a couple of weeks ago. It was really entertaining. I ended up seeing it three times. Not worth it to drive back home after dropping Carter off. Carter did really well. He didn't look like he was really have fun the first night but seemed to loosen up after that. His youth minister went opening night. He seemed to honestly enjoy it. He was telling us how surprised he was that Carter did musicals (or plays in general). Certainly not something you would think he would like. I told him he must keep really busy going to all the kids' events and he emailed back that it was the best part of his "job". He is a pretty cool guy. Glad Carter is getting involved with youth group. We found out that Carter was in the Commercial Appeal because of the play. His orthodontist office is the one who told us so I searched the website and found the picture. Here's the link if you want to take a look.
http://www.commercialappeal.
Speaking of orthodontists, Carter gets his braces off Monday. Pretty much a year and half exactly. I know he will be excited.
We are moving into the end of the school years activities as well. Emerson's class goes to the Pink Palace on Friday. I said I would drive ONLY if they absolutely needed me. Apparently enough parents signed up so I don't have to go!!!! Aren't I awful? I did the zoo and it really wasn't a lot of fun. Being inside would be worse I think. Emerson acted so bad at the zoo. I know he will be better behaved for someone else's mom. He has been doing a lot better at school. He is more disciplined and is paying attention better. He actually got some work back complimenting his handwriting. Hopefully this trend will continue in second grade. Cari thinks I'm in trouble since he is already telling us how much he hates school.
Jim bought Emerson a four wheeler and he loves riding it outside. Of course I think he goes too fast and have trouble watching him but I've always been a bit on the protective side.
We finally heard back from Jim's niece and now know we will be going to VA in August. I was waiting on that before sending out the Google calendar to see if we can find a date for all (or most) of us to get together. That will be my priority this weekend. I drove by Kathryn's house the other day and realized I need to invite her too. I'll mail something to her since I don't think she monitors the email address I have for her once we have a date. I hope this works out. It will be fun!
Toilets are calling!!

I was remarking to someone that i sure miss the occasional snow day. well , I NEED to leave town!!

Keith is hanging in there. Today they are cleaning the house to get ready for the after funeral dinner. Wish i was there to help.
His mom was a great purger. his dad was great at dividing up assets, the house and its contents are for the children to deal with.
thx for all the e-mails.
was able to get the dog her shots just in time to take her to the kennel tonight. thx brenda for the offer. thx cari for the help with Corinne.
Julie, Kevin love talking with Parrish.
Are you going to Atlanta any time this summer?? Maybe that can be the meeting place.
