This is a true American!

McCain's concession speech was so beautiful!  I saw the man I knew he was truly emerge tonight.  He fought a long, hard battle and he is all class!  It really is an honor to be a citizen in this country!

I am so happy!

I have crying!  I am so proud to be an American!  What a wonderful thing...we have an amazing NEW PRESIDENT!

It's been awhile!

Sorry I haven't been blogging!  I am so overwhelmed with school.  I am not doing well on my quizzes and such.  I think I have started to find my "groove."  This whole nursing school thing is just a lot...geez!

Brian meets Miguel

Littleman got to meet Miguel Trejada the other evening.  Got his autograph and everything!

This was in our paper today!

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much when I walked into the Pullo Center recently. My 14-year-old daughter had a friend dancing in a show produced by Experimental Movement Concepts in New Freedom titled "The Rhythms of New York."

Boy was I wrong! One word -- Wow! No, make that two words -- Wow! and Awesome! Little kids, medium-size kids and big kids blew this middle-aged observer away.

Look, I'm 51 years old. I don't say awesome very much. But that Saturday evening, sitting in the darkness of the Pullo Center, mesmerized by what was unfolding before me, I must have leaned over and said to my daughter, "Bethany, this is awesome!" about 20 times.

I overheard one person say after the show say that he could sit through that again. Me too.

So thanks to the Experimental Movements Concepts dance company for an "awesome" evening. Wow!

seee....it's not just me being a proud mommy!

Cousins

The hot tub was a bit foamy, but the boys had a great time anyway!

The Rev's Game

It was a big night for Southern York County at the Revolution's Game tonight!  The High School band played the National Anthem and Littleman's baseball team got to go onto to the field with the players for the National Anthem!  We got to see a lot of our friends and had a relly nice time!

It was great!

Again, another nice show by the kids!  Samigurl made it through.

I didn't know she could do THAT!

This is an amazing shot of Gladys!

A very funny sex ed story

Littleman went to the Susan Byrnes Center for "the other half" of sex education.  While the boys were hanging out, one kid said to my Littleman, "I don't need this; I know everything about girls."  So Littleman says, "What about the ovaries."  The kid says to him, "Dude, you don't have to use their scientific name.  Just call them "BOOBS." 

Oh my gosh!  I never laughed so hard in my life!

Graduation 2008

A very special thanks to Imby for loaning me the lens...Brian had a great night.  He is sooo happy to be out of high school!

AARGH!

OK, I am very grateful they are alive...however, I now have to keep them under control.  No school for Samigurl for another week and no tests or finals.  Her occipital swelling is causing her to be off-balance.  She also has major rebound headaches.  Right now, she thinks I am a horrible person for not letting her go over to her friend's house.

Gladys has to stay home another day.  Her whiplash is pretty bad.  I can let her go back on Wednesday, but no backpack!  

Both are going stir crazy and taking me with them.  

Happy Mother's Day!

Mr. Larceny!

Oh what a night!!!  Tonight, Littleman's team was getting hammered pretty hard.  Litlleman took a walk to first, stole second and third...and then the real game began!  As he tried to steal home, he was chased down and landed SAFELY at third!   As the pitcher sent the next ball to the batter, HE STOLE HOME!!!!  It was amazing!  He scored the only run for the team tonight.  (The score was 15 to 1.)  The best part is the coach never signaled him to steal AT ALL!  Wow!

Prom 2008

Entamoeba histolytica

Watch out for this little water-borne critter!  He'll give you amoebic dysentery!  Ew!

Heading towards the final stretch of the semester!

Micro practical tomorrow.

The Adventures of Dr. Mathur's Bunny

This all kinda started as a class joke in micro lecture.  Every time Dr. Mathur would mention animal testing, the class would start in on her, asking her if the animal had died, etc.  Well, when the class visited Body Worlds, I got her a pin of a rabbit--with only its arteries.  The next class, she had gotten this balloon animal bunny from some weirdo on campus.  I could not stop laughing about it.  Thursday in lab, Dr, Mathur gave me her bunny.

Well, now the bunny is the topic for a power point project in Spanish class and I think I will publish a little book on the bunny's adventures with me.  Silly, I know, but it has helped me get through the grueling last weeks of the semester!!!!!!!
