More updates!

  • Today I picked up Kerri at school only to be told by the teacher that Kerri's new (and expensive!) classroom sneakers were missing from her cubby this morning. So someone took them either Friday afternoon or during the weekend. Ugh! The teacher tried to blame Kerri (like she did with the lunch bag).
  • There are 20 kids in Kerri's class. Wow.
  • When we got home, I did not see one of Kerri's toys on the floor and I slipped and lost my balance. My injured leg and hip gave way, and I fell. So now I am in even more pain. But I have no one to leave Kerri with so I can't go to the hospital. And hubby is overwhelmed and asked me to wait until mid week, when he might be able to take a half day off from work.
  • Hubby and Kerri went shopping tonight and brought me flowers! Beautiful pink roses from hubby and fuchsia carnations from Kerri - she picked them out herself!
  • They also picked up pre-ordered cupcakes to take to school tomorrow, for Kerri's 5th birthday! And the cupcakes were made to match her birthday outfit. Her shirt, jeans, necklace and hair pins all have birthday cakes on them! Kerri picked that outfit herself in Florida. I will try to remember to take a picture tomorrow morning.
  • I cannot believe that our little baby is turning 5 tomorrow. And that she has grown so much and is a really big girl now. Sniff.
  • Kerri's birthday party has been postponed due to my back injury. I am hoping it will happen the weekend after this one. Thank goodness the party place we are hoping to use is flexible!
  • Kerri is going through another growth spurt. She is now a size 6 and is eating non-stop!
  • By the way, Kerri has a new husband lined up. It is one of her class mates from last year, and she told me that not only is she going to marry him, but she is going to kiss him.
  • Including this new future hubby, Kerri has been engaged at age 3 and has lined up two other potential life partners before the current one. She tells me she wants to have options, just in case she becomes a widow. Sheesh!
  • Kerri has also told me that we will live with her in her big and very clean house, and Daddy and I will sit in rocking chairs on her big porch playing checkers while she cooks. I told her she would have to go to college to get a good paying job to afford this. Her reply? "No, I don't, I will find a husband." I feel sorry for him already.

Life with Kerri passes by much too quickly.

So did you ever find the shoes like the lunch bag that was returned by the boy's Mom? What shoes were they? Did we buy them here - I can get another pair and ship them with the bd presents. Just let me know dear!

If I hadn't had a certain question posed to me on your last trip, I'd start wondering if you made up these conversations with Kerri. However, since I can attest to these kinds of questions & comments, I'm not surprised.

Pics? Still waiting. . . .

Happy Birthday to Kerri. She sounds absolutely adorable. I know she and Wendy would be good friends.
I sure hope your back can get better quickly. I've been there before years ago, and it just isn't convenient to have pain and needing to take care of a family.
Thinking of you.
