.... to smile. The smile may feel numb, but it's there.
The first picture is of Jim & Daughter #1. This was one of the first in a long line of traditional photos. A very long line.
The second picture is also of Daughter #1. This one was taken right before we put a nipple on a beer bottle and sat it next to her for a picture. Yes, it may be in the "book".
So Son #2 is talking (aloud) about the military school. Yesterday he sent off for some info to the Marines. He's thinking maybe they'll come and get him. If only THAT were that easy! I expect our mailbox to be full of marine stuff over the next few years. Hoo-yah.
He's also been bragging to girls about how "hot" he'll look in uniform. I told him (after I threw up in my mouth a little) that I thought it might go against marine rules to try to seduce women while in uniform. Maybe not, but it should be.
Today was a very quiet day. Tonight Daughter #1, #3 and I are going to the opening night of Daughter #1's last play at this theatre. It's supposed to be funny.
Daughter #2 went back to Waco this morning to finish her last 2 finals. Those two professors gave her time off to go to Oklahoma and said she could take them after she came back --- when she was ready. See? Most of the people at the school are very compassionate and kind.
OK, that's it for today. I have to go change my clothes because Daughter #1 told me that I might stand out wearing flip flops. Excuse me? These are not flip flops! These are Coach sandals, dad gummit!!!
It would seem that she doesn't care about the brand, only how I will look standing next to her, with my huge neon sign that read's "I'm Daughter #1's MOM!!!!!!".
Pu-lease --- I have more class than that! I'm going to take the sign that says, "I'm with Stupid ----->"

Janine,
I am so sorry about your dear mother-in-law. I have been a little behind w/ my emails this past week. I knew she was not doing well--well, there are no words--I hope you can imagine that I would hope to give you a tight hug.
God I pray that you will give Janine a mountain full of strength and that peace that passes all understanding that you tell us about in your Word.
Love,
M
Okay I must comment on your last sentence in the last blog about "I'm with Stupid". Now I know you weren't talking about #3 and I have a hard time imagining that you could be referring to #1 who is going to Harvard in a few months, as Stupid! So who could it be now?
I do BRAG to girls mom
THEY talk to me about how hot I will be
-Son Number 2
Love you Girl and pray for you daily. Glad to see you smiled today!
Love,
Julie
And then the show turned out to be quite far from funny.
Rather depressing, really...
Yes, it did, and yes it was. Very depressing. Because that's what I freakin' needed to see this week, right?
At least we did laugh.
And then decided that Daughter #1 has an uncanny ability of making me feel like the stupidest person on the face of the earth when we're together. Oh well, I", sure we'll both add that to our respective books.
I can see you standing there with an "I'm with stupid" sign. You wouldn't bat an eyelash and your children would learn not to mess with you regarding your clothes.
