Lou Lou (aka Melissa) is defiantly a fish, my girls at her age clung on to dear life. Lou Lou just went ahead and swam. It was fun watching her learn how to move in the water and counter act the buoyancy of her life vest.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As we floated in the wave pool, on an inner-tube, we sang “Row Row Row Your Boat”, while it was calm and pretended we were in a storm when the waves were going. We also pretended that Bratknee was a shark, Lou-Lou punched her in the nose, but when we pretend she (Bratknee) was a mermaid it was all smiles.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;T’s leg is all messed up; she got her cast off Friday, so that she could play at H2Oasis, this weekend.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She ended up missing swimming (she hung out and played Video Games rode the elevator) because she didn’t know how her body would work in the water. She has lost some control of her legs. This is very frustrating for her, her legs is weak from the Botox and it hurts when she tries to bend it from the casting. Her left leg has decided it cannot move without the right leg….so, was it worth it….we don’t know, this weekend was just a break, she gets a new cast &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;today, for the 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; week. Sad part is she is looking forward to it…she will be able to move again.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Girl Scouts is kicking my butt, every time I catch up, there is 10 new things going on…This weekend Cookies arrive. Byrd’s troop wants on overnight camping trip, T’s troop is getting lost in the shuffle, and Rose’s troop is in field trip heaven. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Need a cure for overindulgence of Girl Scout Cookies? Become a leader or cookie mom. First year we did cookies, JD and I consumed ½ case of &lt;st1:place&gt;Samoa&lt;/st1:place&gt;’s along with taste testing many other flavors. This year, the thought of cookies makes me nauseated.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;We went to an Academic fair at the school last Thursday, in honor of Dr. Seuss’s Birthday.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Byrd did a scarf dance, to a musical of one of Dr. Seuss’s books. I should have brought my camera. We brought Heather and Hunter with us, Heather was a little nervous, she told me when we got home “I still have the quivers from being around so many new people.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We personally bought 15 dollars of cookie’s and cupcakes at the bake sale. The bake sale was for&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Chelsea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;b style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;’s&lt;/b&gt; memorial fund, in the short time I help out, we had numerous people donate 10 to 20 dollars at a time and not one crumb was left. We are truly blessed to have such a school and parents that is so involved in the community.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/angel-has-left-us.html"&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Chelsea&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;’s&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; little brother has been diagnoses with the same problems as &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Chelsea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;, luckily he is younger and they caught it early. We pray teat they can do something about it.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Rose’s GS troop went on a field trip to the zoo last Friday night.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We got to walk around the &lt;a href="http://www.alaskazoo.org/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Anchorage Zoo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at night. The zoo keepers were in the process of feeding the animals so they were awake and putting on a show. It was a clear evening so the moon allowed us to see most of the animals. As we walked past Apun the Polar Bear sat up and waved at us, and they told us if something wasn’t done, polar bears would be extinct in our children’s life time. They eat Polar bear nuggets (the polar bears not the GS’s); it is kind of like dog kibble. I thought it odd that there is actually a company that actually makes Polar Bear food. There was a young female moose getting ready to be shipped to another zoo down in the states. She was hand feed since she was young and she played like a pony, bucking, nibbling at the fence, and talking (grunting, whatever sound a moose makes). I swear you could probably love on her, hold her, and ride her, but I did not try. Rose is so afraid of moose that I held her instead.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The otter’s (that’s what I want to be when I grow up) were cool; the zoo is re-doing their “habitat” so we saw them in their cages, up close and personal. They eat Horse meat, which is injected with the vitamins. YUCK!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The Lynx were the best…you never see then during zoo hours, but Friday night you could see them stalking us from the shadows. Did you know that &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Anchorage&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; actually has a very high number of them? I didn’t and I did a report on them in JR High. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Maggie the elephant still has not used her treadmill….&lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/david-letterman.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;when did she get that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt; &lt;/b&gt;And they are building a new education center, with small critters, and learning stations….I can’t wait. Oh yeah I knitted ½ a scarf during the lectures, oh what fun.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Picture’s ….I will get some more out there, there are tons on my phone, I just need to upload the software again (that will take hours on dial-up, I am going to call to upgrade, TODAY!). &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am sick again…head cold…I want to go to sleep.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;JD is done working nights and hopefully we will all get back on schedule. Because he hasn’t been home and we have had company (on and off) the last two weeks, I am finding my self up ‘till all hours of the night.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have been working with a new blog layout, &lt;a href="http://thrbrtemplates.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Thor’s Templates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://thrbrtemplates.blogspot.com/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;are very easy to work with and he explains most of it to you. So go check out what I have been &lt;a href="http://www.aglimpseintomyreality.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;working on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;...and&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;

or 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade, I was working on something important, something that had top priority, I don’t remember what but it was important. Whatever I was doing I needed supplies, so I ran upstairs to my mom’s bathroom, grabbed something out of the medicine cabinet, and ran back to my project. About an hour later I showed my face upstairs again, that is when I got it…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I was in trouble, I guess when I left the bathroom I slammed the medicine cabinet and the Pepto-Bismal fell and shattered all over the bathroom, this is the day of glass bottles, so there was pink sludge and glass everywhere, I say “I guess” because I didn’t stick around to hear the fatal crash so I didn’t know there was something to clean up. I am sorry for the man who had to clean it up; I bet that was a bitch, huh? Anyway I didn’t realize that it had fallen and broke, but I was accused of knowing and leaving the mess…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;So, today, as I cleaned up the jam, that appeared to be actually thrown into the fridge without the lid. As the guilty party watched, as I cleaned, she kept stating “She didn’t know”, I just nodded and I didn’t say two words. Karma got me back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-114129200651704049?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/114129200651704049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=114129200651704049' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114129200651704049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114129200651704049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/03/karma-after-so-many-years.html' title='Karma After So  Many Years'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-114106720293898295</id><published>2006-02-27T21:39:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-27T21:50:39.336-09:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Man in Town</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;There’s a new man in town!!! I think he has been messing with me and you, trying to turn my blog into a meat market, asking me to pimp my &lt;a href="http://www.aglimpseintomyreality.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sister&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; out. Little does he know I am watching, I know who you are, and now ….can I tell the rest of the world? &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;This man is a great writer. Annually, around the holidays this man writes a mini-novel, letting us know what an imagination he has, we vie for a place in this book. Who can to the most outlandish thing, to make the annual &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/12/christmas-novel.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;“Christmas Letter”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I look forward to his holiday greeting as they are the greatest stories around and filled with memories that we would have missed otherwise. I am excited about his blog, I can’t wait to read what he has to say, it will be like Christmas everyday!!!&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;This is a man that deserves respect, one that has earned it, one that beat my HINNY (another nickname of mine I failed to share) red for not showing it. He is a jokester, but only half of what he says is false… the other half is bullshit! &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;He has been known to cause spontaneous orgasms with just his voice, so we have been told. Not by me of course, his voice would curb any sexual thoughts that I have, and would probably send my &lt;a href="http://whoofarted.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;husband&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; running in fear. Little kids want his autograph and big kids want his advice. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;He is married? YES, and you lonely ladies leave him be, or you will have my ass kicking mama on your tail. My ass kicken’ mama could outsmart and out-walk you. At all of 98lbs. she will tear you up, don’t mess this little lady. This is a lady of control, when I think girl power this lady is it. Independent, sophisticated, attractive, she sets her mind and does it. Let’s see if we can set her mind on BLOGGING! Now that she is retired, she has all the free time.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Okay enough brown nosing…..NOW PRESENTING..&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://hyperboleprattle.blogspot.com/"&gt;Hyperbole Prattle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-114106720293898295?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/114106720293898295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=114106720293898295' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114106720293898295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114106720293898295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/new-man-in-town.html' title='A New Man in Town'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-114108707692387624</id><published>2006-02-27T15:35:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-27T15:37:56.946-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Birthday Tabitha!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;My wild and crazy friend… Everyone say, hi to &lt;a href="http://tab907.blogspot.com/"&gt;Tabitha&lt;/a&gt;, she is a hoot.

We are talking …cutting the bones and turning them so they are straight again. Both femur’s need to twist out and both Tibia’s in.   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Muscle transfers are a possibility or maybe just tendon lengthening, I can only pray that we have those options, but when her local trusted doctor goes straight for the bones… I fear the less traumatizing surgeries are not an option. Usually they ease into these things, especially when talking with a twelve year-old.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Botox treatments have been a hit and miss. Something always keeps us from getting in on time…burns, flu, infected pressure sores, deaths, or the SMURF fungus. Each time something sets us back it seems to take a lifetime to get up and running again.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tater thinks they are scaring her into more Physical Terrorist appointments and more diligence in serial casting, stretching and exercise, I think they are serious. We will see… after we talk to the local ortho surgeon and ortho guy from Shriner’s.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In a way Taters thoughts were right, she is scared enough to let us cast her right leg, her “Good Leg”.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Each week we will replace the cast, each cast will stretch her a little more. This is not an easy process, when the new casts are put on it is such a stretch that her spasictity kicks in, for the first three nights it is constant leg cramps. Even with the muscle relax-ers it only takes the edge off. We hope that the leg will stretch out enough so that she will be able to stand tall again, and if not at least we are breaking her bad habit of walking on her knees. So currently Tater is hobbling around with a HUDE red cast all the way up to her thigh. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-114074198090541538?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/114074198090541538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=114074198090541538' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114074198090541538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114074198090541538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/bone-shattering.html' title='Bone Shattering'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-114050080437589873</id><published>2006-02-20T20:39:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-20T20:46:44.400-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Angels &amp; Demons</title><content type='html'>I just finished “Angels &amp; Demons”. I enjoyed this book much more “The DaVinci Code”, maybe because it was the battle between Science and Religion. How the two play into the whole picture has always been a question of mine?  Next time I read it, my highlighter pen will be joining me, I would like to look up some of the idea’s Dan Brown has risen.  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;On another note I found it was quite odd…a few days before I started this book. I was online researching how to get Tater hooked up with Shriners Children’s Hospital, again. In my search I thought what a great organization to get involved in and proceeded to look into joining, did you know you have to be a &lt;a href="http://www.shrinershq.org/shrine/membership.html#require"&gt;Master Mason&lt;/a&gt;? The whole time I was reading “Angels and Demons” I pictured old men in funny red “bucket” hats with gold tassels, sneaking around the &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Vatican City&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;, trying to destroy the “church”. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-114050080437589873?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/114050080437589873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=114050080437589873' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114050080437589873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114050080437589873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/angels-demons.html' title='Angels &amp; Demons'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-114037565913658515</id><published>2006-02-19T09:54:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-19T10:00:59.166-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Definitions</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table background="#FFFFFF" border="0" style="border: 1px solid black;" width="450"&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+1;"&gt;bloggled thoughts --&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+1;"&gt;[adjective]:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visually addictive&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a style="color: #FF0000;" href="http://www.quizgalaxy.com/quiz.php?id=83"&gt;'How will you be defined in the dictionary?'&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://www.quizgalaxy.com" style="color: #FF0000;"&gt;QuizGalaxy.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-114037565913658515?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/114037565913658515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=114037565913658515' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114037565913658515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/114037565913658515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/definitions.html' title='Definitions'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-114019445470233467</id><published>2006-02-17T07:38:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-17T07:40:54.740-09:00</updated><title type='text'>This One’s is for Dad</title><content type='html'>I was headed into the grocery store the last week and there was a little boy giving away puppies, they were the cutest puppies, way to young to be finding new homes. They were cute little black labs, clearly too young to be finding a new home. After a quick peek, I noticed the box said “FREE Democratic Puppies”. I went into the store, pondering what the box meant…. I didn’t have my glasses on, maybe I misread it, or it was a breed name, or maybe it was just a sales gimmick. When I got home I was still curious, so I searched the web for “democratic dogs” the search only brought up pictures of Bill Clinton.    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;So today, I went to the store to get some cheese and milk. The same little boy was there and I hadn’t misread his box it did say “Democratic Puppies”. I wasn’t blind or illiterate, the only difference was, today the box read …..“FREE &lt;s&gt;Democratic&lt;/s&gt; Republican Puppies”… I had to ask…. “How come they are now Republican Puppies when just last week it said Democratic?”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He looked up at me like I was silly and replied “Well, last week, when they were democratic puppies, their eyes were closed.

I am pretty sure my name was supposed to Sarah. Which no offense Sarah, but I am not a Sarah, either. I often get called Roberta, YUCK. Another name I get called is Wendy, although this is the best of them it is still not right.&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;What is my point here? I do not like the name of my Blog, nor my URL, and I need a nick name to replace my real name. Seeing my name out there is odd, Tater said my title is LAME, and although I live in Alaska, I hate being cold, so winter sports are out and I have a phobia about fish, and eating Wild Animals is not something a partake in….so really…I am only An-Alaskan-Gal because Both sets of grandparents homesteaded here. Don’t get me wrong I love living here! The people are great, it is so beautiful, and the daylight in the summers!!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;When I got into this, I figured I would get bored so I didn’t think to much about it. Now, I am bloging two times a day, its all we talk about around here. Now that you have sucked me into your world, I want a cool name like &lt;a href="http://ladybossco.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bossco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;, &lt;a href="http://fishtaxi.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fish Taxi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://klondikekateblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Klondike&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://klondikekateblog.blogspot.com/"&gt; Kate&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;or&lt;b style=""&gt; &lt;a href="http://rhapsodic.org/"&gt;Rhapsodic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. There is just nothing you can do with my name even…. JD has a cool name; he even signs his service reports for work, &lt;a href="http://whoofarted.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;JD Plumma&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The only nicknames that EVER had are…&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Heidi HO      – I am not a whore.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Heidi      HO HAHAHAHA….only funny when &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094862/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;CHUCKY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;      (Rockett) said it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Hi-Di Hi-Doe      Hi-Da – It’s part of a Poka song….&lt;a href="http://www.acceptarchive.com/html/disc-restless.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Accept&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,      when someone else uses it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Heidi      McHarrycherry - thanks SKINNEY BALLS &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(aka Jimmy Ball)&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stewart-hyder.com/hyder.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Hyder&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; – A couple of Anchor Point brothers      gave me this name.

I was never sure if it      because I abnormally long legs, or if it was because I lived with MILLIONS      if &lt;a href="http://www.rochedalss.qld.edu.au/spider/daddy.htm"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Daddy Long Legs&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Bahama-mama      – A name my husband gave me when I was tan and he wanted some action.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;The      Alpha Bitch – seeing how I am the top dog of the &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/dads-party-and-red-wagon.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Wolf Clan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Yes, I know a bitch is a dog in heat, what’s your      point?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;So there really isn’t anything to work with. Hyder or Alpha Bitch would be the best out of those…but it’s not right. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I could go with my interests ….but I am a “jack of all trades master of none” (heard it on Jay Leno the other night). I could go with something Girl Scout-ish but I do that for the girls not me. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Oh wait maybe Thin Mint….kinda’ spicy, huh?&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;JD says I can’t change …but I can, you know. He says you will all have to change your links…yes that may be true, but you will get over it. I am sure most of you know how.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;If I am ever going to be the next &lt;a href="http://www.dooce.com/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Dooce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://rhapsodic.org/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Rhapsodic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (they are famous you know), these things need to be changed; before I get to much more into this. So if you come back and I am not here is because I am in Hyder or maybe I am someone else.

So when you run out of that child killer… machine dish washing soap…you can substitute the above mentioned mixture.  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This tip has come in handy on many occasions. Like when the 2.37 gallon jug of liquid laundry soap fell off the dryer and spattered all over the carpet in the laundry room. I added some baking soda and sucked it up with the carpet shampooer. There was still an un-godly amount of suds, but it could have been worse, and now I have the freshest carpet in the world…I may have found replacement soap for the carpet shampooer. It really masks the dog smell.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113950831301302977?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113950831301302977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113950831301302977' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113950831301302977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113950831301302977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/baking-soda-miracle-substance.html' title='Baking Soda the Miracle Substance'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113946878118685000</id><published>2006-02-08T22:03:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-08T22:06:21.216-09:00</updated><title type='text'>INSTANT GRATIFICATION</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I never shop online, but for some reason, I ordered books online.

I was so impressed, those teachers and students have accomplish great things in half a school year. Talent I tell you pure talent. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Orchestra was outstanding, if it were not for this simplicity of the songs; I could have been at an concert where the performers were much more experienced. I found myself closing my eyes and swaying with the music, when I wasn’t watch one of my “adopted daughters” Rukya. Her mom would never let me have her but I can dream. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The band was also superb, “the pizza hut” song was the most challenging and most stressful for the students, and yet they pulled it off. &lt;a href="http://gotxpression.blogspot.com/"&gt;Tater&lt;/a&gt; was the best of course. She is the only Sax player so the teacher brought in another player from a different school to help her out. She of course out played him. There was not one sax squeak, and yet the clarinets had many. I was not able to enjoy this part of the concert as much seeing how I could not see my child playing and I was busy trying to peek around the lady in front of me. But I know all of her practice paid off, and she knew it to. It was the best day for her, even better then a Friday. Don’t ever tell her she can’t do it…because she will.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Both Tater and Rose are in the choir, they did not get this talent from me; it must have come from the &lt;a href="http://whoofarted.blogspot.com/"&gt;Plumber’s&lt;/a&gt; side of the family. Tater was not up on stage to sing, seeing how the stage is not wheelchair accessible, so I am sure she did not get the recognition that the others did. Rose was so beautiful up there standing in the middle of the choir. They really knocked the audience’s socks off. We laughed, tapped our feet, and it ended with not one dry eye in the house. Everyone was in tears. The last song was a song about God; yes God in a public school, taking a child to heaven in the palm of his hand. With children singing this, the effects are great. They dedicated it to &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/angel-has-left-us.html"&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; and her family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113899142501437932?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113899142501437932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113899142501437932' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113899142501437932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113899142501437932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/02/concert-review.html' title='Concert Review'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113886946473764411</id><published>2006-02-01T23:29:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-02-01T23:37:44.773-09:00</updated><title type='text'>A Night In Life Of A Girl Scout Leader</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Twelve 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; grade girls, working on a “Eco-Explorer” badge. They are working diligently making their own habitat. First they cut the top off their 2 liter recycled soda bottles, each girl being very careful with their scissors. No one was hurt.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;They put gravel in the bottom and each girl carried their habitat to the sink and fills it with water. No water was spilt. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We explained that for a healthy habitat we have to make sure there is no pollutants, and that our hands may have lotions, soap, or cleaning chemicals residue on them and that they wouldn’t want to pollute their new habitats. They all go back to the sink and wash their hands with water only. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When all is settled again each girl plants a small bamboo plant in their gravel. Each plant was handled with care. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It is then explained, what a healthy habitat is and was it needs to survive and what can harm it. It is explained that each part needs the other, the fish wouldn’t live without the O2 and the food the plant gives, the plant needs the “Waste” (politically correct organization) the fish gives off. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We then bring out the fish. A big yellow Tupper ware bowl just like mom’s old popcorn bowl, it was bubbling over as 30 minnows went jumping about. As the fish are put into their new habitat they go belly-up instantly. We continue on figuring the fish are just in shock. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;After 6 fish are officially pronounced dead and 12 little girls are traumatized… we figured it out…we forgot to tell them about ideal climates. Minnows are not HOT water fish. &lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I can’t wait until the story gets home to their parents; at least this will be easier to explain than the naked statue pictures when we talked about “3-D Art” and famous artists.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Note: All of these girls figured out that fruits/vegetable are grown in “Waste”.

Especially when there is supposedly a computer that helps “Diagnose” the problems and a shop with 50 or so mechanics in it. My father in-law “diagnosed it” over the phone with out even looking at it.

An approval to diagnoses my truck, when I brought it in to be looked at in the first place? Is that not an approval to look at my truck?

BIRTH</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;After spending way to much time consolidating ~ 2 different “Badge Books”, 40 or so different websites, and some stupid planner they created (that I might mention it had errors, lacked any real information, and cost me $10 bucks w/o the binder) I have a bouncing baby Girl Scout Silver Award Workbook, weighing in at 48 pages. Now that the work is done I may be able to squeeze one out for the Bronze Award, oh won’t the Juniors be so happy. Is it sad I have re-birthed almost every one of their handbooks? &lt;a href="http://scoutingweb.com/scoutingweb/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;I really am not the only one&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The cooks and his apprentice have been treating me well. Rose has been cooking all weekend. Friday night’s dinner was prepped and brought to the table perfectly, all without aide. The only hitch she found was when an inspiration hit and the “REAL CHESE” found its way onto Tater’s frozen pizza. Oh the nerve of some cooks, or is it their patrons? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;But it was all followed up by the most amazing “brownie banana split” with cherries on top. Everyone forgets their woes, when there are cherries involved, especially when that cherry is one that is secure in a warm blanket of chocolate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;In between all the fine food we were privileged enough to attend a concert being hosted by one of the most talented and up-coming artist….. Tater…. She is appearing in her bedroom, for a short time only, probably due to the upcoming concert. “First Chair” is hard to keep especially if you are the only chair, such pressure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Practicing day and night has really worked out well, for her… and to say that I once also gave birth to such talents…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Speaking of talented things I gave birth to, Bird and I spent some time together this week. She SOOOO tried to get up and go to 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; grade, she couldn’t miss superhero day.

This moon was a bright orangey yellow and big, but not big round it was a BIG “fingernail kind”. HUGE I TELL YOU!!! ….See I used all caps and extra exclamation marks, so that means it is way bigger then anything you have EVER seen. AND it was a FINGER NAIL….The calendar says we just passed a quarter moon; I don’t know anything about that but this moon was straight out of a storybook, except for the fact that it was golden and not silver, or cheese. With the reflection off the windshield it looked like it even had a nose. It was as if it had sat down right on top the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Hillside&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;; as if we could drive to it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Forty five minutes later when I went back to school to drop Bird &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;off at school, the moon was gone, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and daylight was appearing over the mountains not far from where the moon had disappeared. .. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:time minute="45" hour="8"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;8:45&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:time&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; … daylight is peaking through…oh I knew it didn’t leave me forever. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I so wish I had brought my camera phone….&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113817491647746871?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113817491647746871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113817491647746871' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113817491647746871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113817491647746871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/moon-was-cooli-was-cold.html' title='The moon was “cool”….I was cold.'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113795550509859897</id><published>2006-01-22T09:38:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-01-22T09:45:05.120-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Evilette</title><content type='html'>Evilette, has struck again, this time tampering with&lt;a href="http://whoofarted.blogspot.com/2006/01/12-breakfastsys-halted-cereal-port-not.html"&gt; blogs&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Her reach stretches far from, Squarbanks, there must be evil powers at work.

I still do not have half my programs that I enjoy using, there is no organization to folders at all, I am still in shock over losing all of our Christmas photo’s, and I can not get my “Caller ID” &lt;s&gt;box&lt;/s&gt; screen to come up that says I have a phone call coming in when I am on line. Do you know how to fix that? Of course not, you all speed through this stuff and have an open phone line. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The biggest thing missing now is my address book. Last time it crashed, back in May, Anna re-entered everything for me, with few errors. Luckily, I had a paper copy.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I just got both Johns Grandparents Christmas letters back in the mail, with the wrong addresses. In the past the Homer post office just delivered them. The letter to Homer should have gone through, as it has always done in the past. So, either, Homer has grown or our post office connection is no longer there. I will actually have to put the correct address on in the future, if I want them delivered. Now that they have a stop light they think they are so big city that there is no more addressing things “to grandma and grandpa”, “mom and dad”, or “that guy who lives across the street from the new elementary school”. GEESH!!&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I have also found that my&lt;s&gt; spam list&lt;/s&gt; contacts that I usually forward all my chain letters and internet jokes, is also gone. So if you please, email me, so that I do NOT have to sit and enter data all day long. Don’t forget mailing addresses, and phone numbers….not that I use them but hey good info to have around. Especially, if you ever want Christmas presents to show up on time to the correct place!!! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113761081429464075?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113761081429464075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113761081429464075' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113761081429464075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113761081429464075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/lost-data.html' title='Lost Data'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113756710900819517</id><published>2006-01-17T21:21:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-01-17T21:51:49.036-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Picture Time!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So K and D got an award tonight, the AWANA Attendance Award,&lt;br /&gt;for second quarter perfect attendance.

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Twelve years ago, she had the world praying for her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Twelve years ago, my baby took her first breath. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;That first breath, that first cry, gave me faith, for if he is watching over her.  &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113717072316973380?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113717072316973380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113717072316973380' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113717072316973380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113717072316973380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/friday-13th.html' title='Friday the 13th'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113713611448688820</id><published>2006-01-12T21:39:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-01-12T23:39:24.600-09:00</updated><title type='text'>One Hundred And One</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is my 101 post and I can't believe I wasted the honor of my &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/dont-walk-in-front-of-me-i-may-not.html"&gt;100th&lt;/a&gt; post on that. On the good side, my site counter just happened to hit 3500, so either my family really loves me or people are actually looking. Where are all my comments? Heath....Erica. They are not the numbers that others may get, but hey I am new. Can you not tell by the way I do not use &lt;a href="http://rhapsodic.org/archives/2005/12/navel_gazing.php"&gt;Proper Adult Capitalization?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;On another note, the last few nights I have been up very late working on projects; one of them being a “speech”. As I am writing, then smoking, (yes but this past week was hell) then printing (because it looks different on paper), editing, smoking, printing smoking, rinse then repeat…anyway I am &lt;s&gt;smoking&lt;/s&gt; writing, trying to think of&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;something to say to comfort Chelsea’s family, my mind keeps thinking about my father and our loss of Uncle Don (December 26, 2005). &lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I was wishing I could have been there and seen what Dad had wrote for Uncle Don’s services, and wishing my mind was more on him when he came home from his trip. The only thing that really stuck from that conversation was my uncles last wishes…..to be made into a saddle so that he could be next to his two favorite things….a woman’s thighs and a horse. Oh yeah and something about Dad returning with a suitcase of bra’s, and finding myself trying to suppress the idea of …NEW BRA’S FOR ME. This is the one trip he has made and NOT brought me something home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I was in school, I hated writing; it was the hardest thing for me to do. It is something I am just now finding joy in. With the exeption of the annual christmas my kids are smarter then yours letter, I never had a reason to write. Until I found the world of blog. As a child my father would sit up with me all night and help me write. He would edit whatever project I was working on and send me back into his office to fix any errors, on the ol’ IBM. We would do this over and over until an A paper resulted. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That computer was the biggest ugliest thing; we only had one game and one color, a horrid goldenrod color that burnt your retinas. The worst part is that the writing program it did not correct my grammar, like Word does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;We went though this process a few years ago for Melissa’s funeral. John and I stayed at my parents house seeing how the &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Fairbanks&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; crowd was filling up his parents house and hogging all of the computers. John, Dad, and I sat up till all hours of the night working on the layout of the program for Melissa’s service. I didn’t realize how important that experience was, until this week. I wouldn’t have been able to write what I did or speak the way I did tonight, if he hadn’t shown me the way.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I suppose I should pay tribute to my new editor, the one that falls asleep and snores through the whole process then gives it to his oldest daughter to edit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113713611448688820?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113713611448688820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113713611448688820' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113713611448688820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113713611448688820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2006/01/one-hundred-and-one.html' title='One Hundred And One'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113696903908000053</id><published>2006-01-10T23:42:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2006-01-10T23:43:59.100-09:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Don't walk in front of me&lt;br /&gt;I may not follow&lt;br /&gt;Don't walk behind me&lt;br /&gt;I may not lead&lt;br /&gt;Walk beside me&lt;br /&gt;and just be my friend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When I volunteered in their kindergarten class this friend would tell the other children that I was Miss. Heidi her Girl Scout leader. By the end of the day all of the kids wanted to be a Girl Scout and I am now Miss Heidi. Some of my scouts are just there to be there, and then there are some that, truly believe in our promise. This little girl believed. She is a strong, thoughtful, caring, smart little girl. When I think of why I volunteer as a leader, she comes to mind. She is a bright child she truly listens and understands what is going on around her. She is shy, or maybe just quite, I was never really sure, but when she gets going she is a hoot. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;John and her have a secret joke, he just points at her… her smile gets big and her face glows. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Tonight, she is in a &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/10/friendship-squeeze.html"&gt;coma&lt;/a&gt; and the doctors say she will probably not make it through the night.

it is called &lt;a href="http://contemporarylit.about.com/cs/currentreviews/fr/inkheart.htm"&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;Inkheart &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;by Cornelia Funke&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, on the first page was this poem.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;If you are a dreamer, come in&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic bean buyer,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you-re a pretender, come sit by my fire&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For we have some flax-golden tales to spin&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Come in !&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Come in!&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;Shel Silverstiein&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I have read many of Shel Silverstiens books, and I am sure I have heard this poem, but last night it reminded me of my father. I received my annual Christmas novel from my daddy earlier this week. With me finishing up &lt;u&gt;The DaVinci Code&lt;/u&gt; I didn’t get to it till yesterday. I woke up yesterday morning, got my coffee, and climbed back into bed for a day of reading, it took a lot of work but I finally finished it around &lt;st1:time minute="0" hour="22"&gt;10 pm.&lt;/st1:time&gt; seeing how his work is STILL unpublished (where’s your blog?) I will give you the rundown of last year for you….&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1. Great granddaughter born (named after Great grandma and her Family) Riley James.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2&lt;u&gt;. &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/dads-party-and-red-wagon.html"&gt;His 60&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Birthday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3. Publishing of &lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Little Big Man- &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;A very good book you have to go out and buy it I wish I could. Seeing how it still on someones hard drive there is no reson it couldn't be published on the the web. You could Blog it Aunt Pat!!! (not to be confused with the 1970's film)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4. Uncle Bill is in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; driving trucks for the Salvation Army (more on him later).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5. Aunt Pat has changed her name to “Patti Been Laiden” she has joined a terrorist cell here in &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Anchorage&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. Her and her 20 odd cell members (a class of 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; graders) captured &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/dads-party-and-red-wagon.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Stan Lee Moose&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and have been holding him hostage. They have sent hostage photos and until my father is nice to his baby sister “Patti Been Lainden” Stan Lee Moose will not be returned. This terrorist Cell Group is not to be feared…well, except the ugly little girl sitting in the front of the ransom photo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;6. Dad is now Uncle Ducky’s Pimp…seeing how he has been married at least 7 times, I am not sure he needs one, but… dad hooked him up with an OLD friend, she hadn’t seen Uncle Ducky since before he had any fuzz on his winky. (his word not mine).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;7. Dad took my cousin fishing, something he has not done with me in 25 years….but that’s okay I HATE FISH!!!! They scare me! But next time you take her drinking you better bring me, Brandy could be fun!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;8. My cousin Dalene (Uncle Ducks Daughter) must have sent dad a hell of a Christmas letter, because she had a full page dedicated to her, with photo’s. She must have questioned dad’s relationship with god. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Saying that his “religious belief and ordainment as some kind of tax fraud”. This verse was shared in his letter as he tried to convince her his beliefs are real, John the Baptist (probably referring to my husband),known in dad’s good book as the Fisherman of the Galilee, spoke “go thou to the sea, and cast in a hook; and that fish which shall first come up and take” . &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A cold morning in May dad received this word, when he “cast in a hook and that fish DID take” it was the largest measuring 5.5 cubits in length. As he fought that fish for 30 minutes, the fish was finally on the banks, that was when he truly new he was blessed with the gift…but with on final flip of its tail he was back in the water. This is the point that dad found his calling. To this day he continues his work…the catering to the “Fisher of Men” specializing in Fresh bait, marriages, and baptisms. He asked for no offerings just a little groping during the Baptismal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;(there was also a poem included...it deserves its own place in my blog...I will post it at a later date)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;9. He also lectured Dalene about proper language in Christmas letters. Words like Penis, Crap, Erections, and Hoo Hoo’s (a Ute Indian word for beaver?)  &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;does not belong in our season greeting.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;10. Uncle Bill (see #4) also had an eventful year…he went to find my long lost uncle Fred Whitfield (a huge rodeo star). Bill drove all the way to Hockley &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Texas&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; to meet him…needless to say Uncle Fred doesn’t ever want to see a Harrington again.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;11. With the Harrington’s being known to produce world famous wrestlers, Brittany (my niece) caught the paragraph of the Christmas novel, which is quit the honor. She is noted for being undefeated and that she doesn’t date the boys she Wrestles them. We held a small family meet and she LOST both of her matches and could not move on. She lost to a 60-year-old man in 12 seconds…I also kicked her butt.

&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Or dreaming I found the keystone…&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I finally finished reading &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.danbrown.com/novels/davinci_code/plot.html"&gt;The DaVinci Code,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/u&gt;I had to read it before the movie came out.&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;I would have to say that is was a great read. When I first started reading it, I could not get enough information. I was online looking at artwork and looking in to some of the books that were noted in the book. I had never paid attention to art (except my husbands) I found it all very intriguing. I would love to read up more on&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Mary Magdalene and History of the Knights Templar, but once the background was laid out in this book …I found it was just another Fiction…no life altering information…just a few more questions. The author &lt;a href="http://www.danbrown.com/meet_dan/index.html"&gt;Dan Brown&lt;/a&gt; is an excellent writer I just think I was looking for something a little more controversial. I already knew about the lies and deception of the history books, government, and yes I believe the “Church” is also involved….paranoid….yes maybe...but it is in man nature to twist the truth to meet his needs. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I do plan to read the rest of his books… &lt;u&gt;Angels and Demons&lt;/u&gt; is next. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113527814126829793?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113527814126829793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113527814126829793' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113527814126829793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113527814126829793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/12/davinci-code.html' title='The DaVinci Code'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113515972238825281</id><published>2005-12-21T00:35:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2005-12-21T01:08:42.423-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Christmas Letters....</title><content type='html'>I have been busy. I have finally gotten all the packages mailed. The post office promised they would be there by Thursday, so check your mail. My Christmas shopping is almost done and now it is time to plan menu. We went ALLLLLL the way to Wasilla tonight to,  finally,  see all the  new homes  our friends/ family have bought....okay it took  two years but....its a long drive. Sarah your house it bueatiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote this letter to my uncle and sent it with his Christmas card. As I sat down wondering what to write, I  could think of nothing. So I went and opened word, you know to get the juices flowing, this letter was the last document I worked on (minus printing bob's resume'),  I thought why let that memory go (the letter not hte rusme').....POST IT!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:date month="12" day="18" year="2005"&gt;December 18, 2005&lt;/st1:date&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Dear Uncle Don,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;I just got news of your hospital stay, I am so sorry to hear that. You are in our thoughts, prayers, and as well as our hearts. It has been a long year with many difficulties. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;DadÂs 60&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; birthday was good and Memorial Day weekend was a blast. We got some really great photoÂs of that. &lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/little-red-wagon.html"&gt;I believe you will hear all about it&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/09/dads-party-and-red-wagon.html"&gt;After all of that&lt;/a&gt; (dad will tell you) Dad pulled one over on us 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of July weekend. We all headed down to Anchor Point beach to blow off some fire works. Dad stayed back so he could close down the shops. We spent several hours on the beach. The whole town came out and the whole beach was lit up, from the moth of the river to a Â¼ mile past the lighthouse. The State Troopers couldnÂt arrest us all. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;We finally made it back to Âthe hole in the wallÂ, dadÂs sand pit that we all camped in, dad had put up a road blockÂ.we moved it. As we approach camp we notice all of the camp chairs on top of the trailersÂ.okayÂ. we cussed, not at dad because he was no where to be found, and then we took them down. We get the kids all settled for the night and go back to the fire for another drink. Fires low so we add more wood. About five minutes later we hear a POP, it came from the fire. A few more minutes and we hear another, we all start arguing. ÂThatÂs enough who has the fire works?Â We argue this and search each otherÂs pocketsÂ no firecrackers. After a few more drinks, many more ÂPOPÂ theories, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;several more trips to the woodpile and several more fireworks POPPing out of the firepit, we got smartÂ.he hide them in the bark of the wood. We spend a great deal of time dismantling the woodpile and found a few more, confiscating them we went back to the fire. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now that things were calm, we kicked back and enjoyed the lovely night. We are sitting there, it is almost totally dark, the kids and men are snoring, the trees are movingÂ.but there was no wind. All of the sudden Arnie started howling (Arnie is the ghost dad made up, what a punk) and out jumps DADÂ. Screaming he has no arm and he is flailing around on the ground ÂARNIES GOT ME!!!Â he is yelling. The kids donÂt wake the men keep snoring and us ladies just HOWL with laughter.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He had sat in the woods for near two hours waitingÂ.for what I am not sure. He did get hurt in all of this he messed up his bad leg. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;That wasnÂt the only things he did Âthe guys went to bed early, John (my husband) slept with a log under his pillow, I had a hell of a time getting him to move so I didnÂt have to sleep on it also. Eric (ShanaÂs) husband slept with an axe until she went to bed. I am sure there were many other thing that people just shook their head and fixed.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/254/1360/1600/07-04-05_1131.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/254/1360/320/07-04-05_1131.2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;We got him back though but he did not enjoy it much.

J has yet to get the spruce trees lit up (in the front yard) or hang any lights what so ever. He is lucky that I have not told my father how he is neglecting me.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am sitting here blogging procrastinating the dreaded Christmas letter/card, I am temped to photocopy all the past years and tell them we are still the same…or better yet blank ones and you can make up you own story….or maybe a mad lib??? We have re-written poems and we have changed the words to different Christmas carols. We have written the brag sheet and have done the whole photo card thing. We have even chosen to hold onto gifts and cards to resend the next year; we used the excuse of wrong address but what they don’t know….&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I decided to on line to get motivated. I found some good advice like &lt;a href="http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/how_to/the_nonexpert_the_familyupdate_christmas_letter.php"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;this&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from The Morning News. I personally think “one nation under a grove” is a perfect salutation. The last one may work though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This site seems to have some good &lt;a href="http://www.tedpack.org/xmasnews.html#specsug"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;suggestions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for content. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.personalizedletter.com/"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; you can order your letters, they will do it all write it, package it, and ship it. Hmmm…now I wish I had thought of that first. Just like the new Santa’s at the mall, they charge $5 for a Polaroid, $10 for a 3x5, $15 for a 4x6, and $20 to take your own. I would sell my options of copy write on 1 million photos of ugly kids with Santa. Another bright idea I passed up years ago when I worked at the mall with Santa.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yes you can add me to your network, &lt;a href="http://rhapsodic.org/archives/2005/12/scammed.php"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;V&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Parodies are a “good thing” &lt;a href="http://www.tedpack.org/xmas_par1.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.anickoftime.ca/xmas/xmletter.html"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are a few examples of those…I could be so clever!?! (if I tried really hard) The ever so clever &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tedpack.org/xmas_neg1.html"&gt;Anti- Letter&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;seems to be a good one for the clans&lt;b style=""&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;I am still unsure where to start…………..&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113406052257910457?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113406052257910457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113406052257910457' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113406052257910457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113406052257910457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/12/tis-season.html' title='&apos;Tis The Season'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113380706616767147</id><published>2005-12-05T09:22:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2005-12-05T09:24:26.190-09:00</updated><title type='text'>21st Century</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century Grandma…come to town for a visit … leave the grandchildren with her camcorder for the duration of her stay… she goes shopping …we see her again, in a few days, before the drive out of town… she will view her visit at a later date… when time allows. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Century Daughter… phone what is that…read my blog….photos…I posted them on line…forget to use the video camera…sorry…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113380706616767147?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113380706616767147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113380706616767147' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113380706616767147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113380706616767147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/12/21st-century.html' title='21st Century'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113363822745166545</id><published>2005-12-03T10:19:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2005-12-03T10:30:27.480-09:00</updated><title type='text'>The Odd Girls</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oprah.com/tows/booksseen/2002/tows_book_20020424_rsimmons.jhtml"&gt;Odd Girl Out … The Hidden Culture Of Aggression In Girls..&lt;/a&gt;. All of my life I have never dealt with girls very well. I spent most of my time with my brothers (I hated my sister), I had a few good friends that were girls in school but once it was acceptable to hang out with boys I was all over it. Men, boys, guys tend to just go with the flow…what will be, will be…until you piss them off then “POW Straight to the moon”… I can deal with that.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Somewhere, somehow, something, did not line up for me because now girls surround me. Everything is girls…my girls, the girls, 10 out of 14 times it’s a girl, 28 cookie selling girls, up all night slumber party girls. They are taking over the phone, the internet, the TV, the bathroom, the credit cards, the shopping list…they have landed, THEY’RE HERE. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What am I to do?… learn how to think like a girl. Me, being a girl, you may find that odd…but I do not get them, girls, I have to ask my husband to explain all of the time. When, on the rare occasion, I act like one I force him to slap me silly. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I finally bought it…the book that is… Odd Girl Out … Someone suggested it to me, having birthed three beautifully aggressive girls, they though I could use the help. I have to admit I have been suggesting this book for years and have never read it. I am really not one for reading self help books and am not sure I will ever read this one. See, I read to escape reality not dive deeper into it, but I did buy it. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The intro…It started out as boo hoo book….get over it lady…wah funkin wah…you deserved it…I skipped it and move on to chapter one looking for the key to all the madness.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I didn’t get far, I didn’t find the golden answer but ….I can still relate to what she had to say at the bottom of chapter one. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;To sum up what few words I have read, the author interviewed 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; graders asking them “What are some of the differences between the ways guys and girls are mean?&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Girls…They turn on you…whisper…glares...secretive…They destroy you from the inside… manipulative…targets your weaknesses…aspects of evil boys do not have…plan and premeditation....&lt;/p&gt;

We made 45 fleece scarves and put together 14 Beanie Boxes (boxes of personal hygiene items); these will go to one of the shelters. We collected and wrapped 800 serving of plastic ware. I could not believe that Beans Café, the homeless shelter here in &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Anchorage&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, serves 700 to 1000 meals at once. The girls were good wrapping place settings, the napkins looked a little “used” when we where all through with it, but they did well. We also collected 130 packages of powdered gravy mix for them. And of course I can’t forget the 360 paper plate turkey centerpieces we colored, these will be put in thanksgiving food boxes for table centerpieces. Yes, only 360 turkeys (that I precut) and it took all night to get those done.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The time is just flying by it’s time for Christmas cards and shopping. As for Thanksgiving, we will be going over to S &amp; E’s. I sent J to the store for the turkey, at Freddy’s; it is buy $100.00 of groceries and get a free turkey. My family will be contributing a 27 pounds of turkey to Thanksgiving dinner. S and A are both planning to deep fry their turkeys. We are going to have so much turkey….we will sleep for a week.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;As for Christmas plans, we will probably stay home.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;IT SNOWED…its pretty!!!&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We woke up Saturday to this beautiful snow, J and I cleaned the house and caught up chores. The kids had the neighbors over; I could tell J was trying to get his chores done so that when the kids asked to go sledding he could go with them. Soon the kids migrated outside to make snowmen, and J was done with his chores. When I saw him next, he was waiting, with all of his snow gear on, just waiting for the kids to come home and get him to go sledding. They never came, poor guy. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This was the first weekend, in a long time, that we did not have guests. NO little girl slumber parties, not one birthday party to attend (cause I didn’t tell K about it), and everyone was home. It was great just to stay home with them.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;End of the school quarter was last week; I have not had time to brag. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;T brought home straight A’s. I was told that she adds a lot of insight to class discussions. The gifted program that she is in grades differently, T scored “practitioner” in most areas. There was one area she was an “apprentice”, in productivity, I think. Novice is the lowest score, then Apprentice, Practitioner, and then Master is the highest. I am not sure why A and B’s will not work, but then again I ain’t got no learnin’.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She got an S in band with an 0 in effort. The band teacher bought T a harness to help hold the sax up, and the OT has been evaluating the situation. T can play songs now, I think this instrument thing, just might work out.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D is doing better then ever, A’s, B’s, and one C (she took after me in spelling). This teacher has sparked the reading bug. D is always on top of her homework and is always helping K out. The “girl” thing is starting to surface at school; it is amazing how boys can turn your friends into monsters. She was accepted into the art club and as a technology helper, both things she had to apply for. She will be taking care of the computer in the computer lab and all of the school laptops. I only hear complements from her writing teacher, she loves to write but you cannot make her read.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;K is also doing wonderful, 0’s and S+’s for her. The teacher would like to see her put more effort in, she tends to do the minimal amount to get the grade. I think she needs to be done first to prove she is the smartest. She is always helping the other kids in the class. K spends a lot of time with one little boy, he is severally disabled, but K treats him like everyone else.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She is passing 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade benchmarks, they do not want to go further in fear that she may get discouraged.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We got the paper work to sign for IGNITE. This means in the next few months she will meet with the school head doctor and be giving an IQ test. If she gets adequate scores, she will be enrolled in the gifted program. This is creating household turmoil…between the girls, but we will work through it.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;They all need to work on their handwriting and I am having trouble believing this….but my girls cannot read cursive. D is in 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade and cursive is, just now, being introduced. I am now in the process of collecting worksheets.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So… this week is full of field trips for T …Today she goes to the dump and the water treatment plant. Yes the dump, she gets to sit on a smelly bus and take a driving tour of THE DUMP. Oh yes, they also get to eat their lunch during this time…YUM YUM. I almost had to go… but D is sick, so now I just have meet the her bus with the wheelchair for the water treatment part of the fieldtrip. I am now a wheelchair chaperone!!! &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;She has another fieldtrip Wed. to the pool. T asked me to go on this one because for once in her 9 years of school trips to the pool, she wants to swim. This means I get to wear a swimsuit in front of the entire 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade …the students, staff, and chaperones, and I will be the only adult swimming. It’s a lot different at the beach or H2O where you don’t know anyone…and that summer tan ….all gone!!! &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Other then field trips I have the week off, NO Girl Scouts, NO physical terrorists, and no appointments….Yippy! Next week is a bitch though. T doctor wants to see her, for a physical, before he will sign a document stating that she is disabled??? We just saw him concerning the Smurfs living in her arm, not a lot has changed. Last week he signed one, the school had him sign the wrong one, but he signed it. Now, he wants to see her, befor he signs the right one. In addition, I have to meet with someone concerning her grants, she will help me collect documentation to prove T, has special needs. This topic is coming up a lot lately, am I blind? Stupid people…I hate this game.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;…that’s the bloggled thoughts for the day…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113263845338988590?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113263845338988590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113263845338988590' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113263845338988590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113263845338988590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/11/this-is-what-happens-when-i-wait-to.html' title='This is what happens when I wait to long to post.'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113233157703015015</id><published>2005-11-18T07:17:00.000-09:00</published><updated>2005-11-18T07:32:57.070-09:00</updated><title type='text'>Will we ever grow up and know the answers?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am confused...32.5 years old and still look towards the elders in my life for answers, an to set examples... what do I when their life is upside down?

Without snow, the wheelchair works nicely outside and we can hit 10 times as many houses. Shana and her gang met up with us and we ran into Sarah and her pack, I wish we would have put together a party….maybe we need to plan one this coming weekend, huh Shana. I did not get photo’s tonight, my bad, sorry.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I almost forgot to tell you…the neighborhood Halloween Phantom hit my house last Thursday. He left a bad filled with Halloween goodies with a note explaining that we were to give out three more bags to people in our neighborhood. It also stated that if we did not then we would have to bare his wrath. They also included a sign that hangs on the door that said we were already hit by the phantom. The girls had a blast putting the bags together and plotting on whom they were going to hit. All week long, we watched kids and parents sneaking through the neighborhood looking for the next house to be hit. So far, we have not seen the wrath of the phantom, I hope it is safe to go to bed….

The best part was seeing Paris Hilton get slayed. Her whole role was about running around half-naked.&lt;br /&gt;Jen and Rodney came up to pick up their new snow machines for the Iditarod.

Really, I was working on a GS meeting and not eating bon-bons on the couch. I was no sooner dressed and the doorbell rang. Feeling all clean and pretty I answered the door, it was the mailman. Not the usual old dude but a younger stud-ly one and he had a box for ME. As he handed it to me I got this cute smile a with a sparkle in his eye. He gave me the “THE LOOK”, (come on folks it’s nice to be noticed occasionally, don’t judge). I took the box, shut the door. Cause I’m not allowed to talk to strangers.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ordinarily I would rip a package open immediately…but looking at the return address, I found it was from the world greatest mother-in law. The girls look forward to these holiday packages, they are truly better then Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Great Pumpkin combined. It is a law that we are NOT allowed to open them until we are all together. So I tossed the box on the table…..it giggled and shrieked…I now realize…that mailstud that was eyeing me… was just amused by the Halloween package and not “My Package”.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt; We didn’t have time to open the package today, it was one of those days where no one was in the same place at the same time. Boy did that cause a fight when K wasn’t home at bedtime and I sent the others to bed without opening the PACKAGE. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113039676904456381?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113039676904456381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113039676904456381' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113039676904456381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113039676904456381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/10/ego-boost-not.html' title='Ego Boost .....NOT'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-113039658369602587</id><published>2005-10-26T23:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-10-26T23:03:03.723-08:00</updated><title type='text'>GO BRITTANY</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I got to go watch my niece wrestle today….what a rush…It all came rushing back to me.

If it were me I would be pissed because we had Eric’s Enchilada’s&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;made by his loving wife, but anyone who knows this crowd, knows you have to come early, or you won’t get any food…huh Bob. I am sorry there wasn’t any left A, but we did miss you…&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Anyway, the men folk even joined us and seemed to enjoy themselves. They don’t typically join in on these things, I am sure J appreciated the extra testosterone. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;They were able to talk union and work….hopefully they will join more often.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With the eight adults came children. It was great, it sounded as if we where throwing a raging party (something that has not been done for over a decade) but really, it was all the children… 12 total. I think we actually almost have one for every year lets see oldest to youngest&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;…11,9,9,8,8,7,6,5,4,3,1,1,… anyway... Even though a few punches were thrown, the kids loved it. The older girls played with the babies, the boys picked on the girls (or play video games) and the babies looked around helplessly to find their mommies. Next time it is at someone’s house with a rec-room….S &amp;amp; S….so we can kennel them all …and then we will bribe someone to sit on them to keep them in line!!! Maybe then, the adults can actually play some poker… Okay just dreaming…as Nate said, “it would take to much planning”.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;So after everyone left, my Daddy called, to wish me a Happy Birthday. What a cool Dad!!!&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Today we went to a welcome Chelsea home (my GS that was in the hospital) she will have to continue to see the doctors regularly for blood clots and more water accumulating on the brain, and take a shot twice a day but thing look like they will continue to get better. They were very lucky to catch this so early…she was complaining of headaches so her mom brought her to the eye doctor, he saw something odd and referred them on. The eye doctor caught a problem way before the medical doctors would have. This was also the case with my brother, the eye doctor saw weird scarring and he was diagnosis with MS shortly after. It is important to see a real eye doctor and don’t skimp on the tests!!! Even if you don’t wear glasses!&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Tonight I am looking forward to my glass of wine and “Desperate Housewives”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14870836-113012966844211411?l=allaskangal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/feeds/113012966844211411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14870836&amp;postID=113012966844211411' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113012966844211411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14870836/posts/default/113012966844211411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allaskangal.blogspot.com/2005/10/hmmmmmmmm.html' title='HMMMMMMMM......'/><author><name>Heidi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00492872096049317463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/all_askan_gal/funnybabyface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14870836.post-112995160051653539</id><published>2005-10-21T19:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-10-21T19:28:31.946-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Martha or Maxine</title><content type='html'>Are you a &lt;a href="http://peterpanandfamily.blogspot.com/2005/10/martha-or-maxine.html"&gt;Martha or Maxine&lt;/a&gt;?

My problem with this… is it safe? Is it normal for a girl like T to do these things alone? &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;There are two hills on the way to school the first one goes DOWN and connects with another very busy road. T has been practicing this hill for a while now, and she can cruise it on her own….usually I am running behind yelling to slow down and to watch the ditch and to….okay I just nag her. She loves it (the hill not the nagging)…for once she can go faster then all of the other kids. You should see her face…the rush is something she has never felt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I probably should mention that T has been using the wheelchair since school started. Her last botox treatment didn't last as long as it should have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Emotionally, letting T roll to school alone is a very hard thing for me, I cannot seem to let go, but T has been working hard learning how to navigate hills and maneuver her wheelchair safely. I need to give her a chance, she is in 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade and I feel that she needs to be able handle this stuff, without me running behind nagging. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;This morning she took off to school in her wheelchair with all of the kids, her sisters were there and her friend Cody. I stayed home so I could have 15 extra minutes to do chores.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I got the phone call from David (Cody’s step dad), the phone call scared me…. I thought T had rolled into the road and was hit by a car…&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I rushed out of the house to go get her and was there in 5 seconds flat… When I got there were five cars pulled over and a crowd, you would have thought that there was a fatal accident…. I really am surprised the APD, fire dept, and ambulance were not there. I am thankful that David was there because the other adults (Moms headed to schools to drop kids off and school employee’s headed to work) were totally overreacting.… but all was okay, she just a little muddy. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;She only ditched it. It was just a little roll over; the air bags didn’t go off, no flats, and no major damage to her or her ride.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;After I dismissed the crowd, I loaded T and the chair into the truck. When I finally got into the truck, she was in tears, NOT because she was hurt, but because...&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;1.)&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;the adults did not let her take care of it. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;2.)&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;the adults (other then David) were not listening to her. They wanted to call the school and everybody but me. T just wanted to upright her chair and move on. The kids could have helped her do this.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;3.)&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;the cool kids saw all of this chaos.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;4.)&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;Rumors will go around the school. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;5.)&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;Her aides will hear about it and she will never be left alone again.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;With most kids, age leads to independence with T she has to work for it. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;She could have handled this situation on her own. She really was not that muddy and really did not need to come home. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I brought her home so she could calm down and she was back at school in no time.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;While at home, we talked about how to handle this and how to prevent it from happening again. We decide it wasn’t her first crash….once when she was a baby took her wheels down the “stairs from hell” at grandma‘s….and it won’t be her last crash. This means that not rolling/walking to school is not an option. We decided that I would have to chaperone her from on, not to keep her from crashing, but to keep the “Good Samaritans” away.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Thank you for your help…but sometimes it is best to ask questions first and then LISTEN to the answers.
