10 Year Reunion

About a month ago we had our Beekmantown Class of 2000 10 year reunion.  Planning what a nightmare, but it was worth it.  Not only did we learn a lot about how to plan the next one, but we ended up having a blast.

Saturday, 8/21, about 30 of us met at the Naked Turtle to have dinner, dessert, and some crazy amounts of alcohol.  All of the food was good, until the bill came.  When I went to pay for our dinner with my debit card, the employees admitted that tey didn't know how to adjust tips, amounts, etc., and they charged my card three times!  Needless to say, I wasn't happy as it killed my available balance.  We still had a ton of fun.  Glass Onion was playing, so we stayed for a little while before heading over to Krazy Horse.  Surprisingly, I was one of the ones that made it to closing time.

Sunday, 8/22, we had a family picnic planned for the city beach.  This was where all hell broke loose! We woke up and it was pouring.  Dee & Mark realized that the beach wasn't even going to open in the crappy weather we were having, so we had to make a last minute change to Point Au Roche.  We got lucky in that the pavilions were open and we quickly nabbed one.  Not many people made it due to the weather and location change, but it was still nice to see all of those who made it.

Fantasy Football

Every year, I play fantasy football with the Kane family.  I never do very well, but I try like crazy!  After this years draft, I felt okay about my team.  That was, until week one rolled around.  Come to find out, I have the worlds worst quarterbacks.  GRR!!!

I am still really happy to be playing and I am going to try to get my team in order.  Hopefully, with a little bit of luck, I will at least make it to the playoffs.

Wish me luck!

Kasey Starts School

Well, Kasey has now been in school for a week, so I figured that I would post a little update. We had orientation the Thursday before school. It was very quick, but at least he was able to find his cubby, check out the bathroom and we could get a little information.

The first day, I was a wreck. Kasey, on the other hand, was perfect. Keith and I dropped him off at 9:00 and he didn’t even want to say goodbye. I ran out to the car to get a potty seat for him and, when I returned, he was sitting on the floor and a little boy (Jacob) was hugging him. I went out to the car and cried for five minutes before attempting to drive home. I cried for a bit more and then I settled in a home.

After getting some work done and watching a movie, 3:00 rolled around and I picked up Kasey. His teacher pulled me aside and told me that Kasey had peed in his pants and he fell off the merry-go-round, which resulted in a trip to the nurse’s office. He cried because he didn’t want me to bring him home, which made me feel awful. I bribed him with a trip to Target and off we went.


We managed to run a few errands and headed to Denny & Linda’s for dinner. Kasey was so tired that we did an early bath and he fell asleep in the car.


Thursday was his first whole day, which meant that he went to school at 7:45 and was picked up at 5:00. He was super excited to go, which made it easier for me. The only problem he had was that he was afraid of the big kids eating him at aftercare and he cried. Luckily the lady in charge of aftercare talked to Kasey and the big kids and he settled down pretty quickly.


Friday and Monday seemed to go okay, per Kasey, but I noticed that he didn’t eat much for lunch on Friday and he didn’t eat anything on Monday. Kasey’s teacher told me that he ran out of lunch crying on Monday. I talked to him a bit and he he had one good day and apparently yesterday didn't go well because he ended up eating lunch with the 3 year old classroom.


The only thing I am worried about this year is sickness.  I guess that is what we can expect for not having him around too many kids. I guess I will just have to hope that he will be okay until January.  His allergies are already kicking up, but he will be fine.
