I'll tell ya another time too

 very good friend, and neighbor, Chris, she had all the newspaper articles of winning at running pasted up on her bedroom. one day she was running her mouth, and we were walking down the street, and I said, Let's go!  took off.  she raced with me and I almost beat her.  She wasn't a sprinter, Sheri, you were.

and Hannah McCullouh, Homecoming Queen believe she wrote into the paper, it's something we believe, it's our faith. well it's not something that's fly in college.

 sure hope to hell she was challenged by that. they were doing it in high school biology class in this town, how many parents said, You're not teaching my kid evolution. They could have been fired! one of the one times I saw Hannah, at the time I was in a class on Conflict and Commucation.  told her sometimes it's good.  could tell by the look on her face, she totally disagreed. think she could lived with the Grutz's Sheri?  no.  She wasn't prepared for the real world. for God's sake, her mother taught Lads and Lassies.

My daughter, age 5 at camp

 youngest child there, I thought, well, what the hell.  they took her. come to pick her up after a week there, found her on Luke's shoulders, filthy, exhausted, looked like she hadn't eaten. looked at me at first sight like, Who are you? probably the the best time of her life, Sheri. yeah.

still can do it, a letter to Dr. Schutz, The Celebration of Life of Deoge.

 all she ever wanted was to be with me, any room I was in, such a bond, but never demanded All my attention. She was my running buddy, sprints, and she loved it. she was helper raising my kids, all I'd have to say was go get him Deoge, wake Alec up, and she'd go running downstairs and lick him. she thought she was me. when we went to the dog park, she never barked at another dog, but they all barked at her, just walked away, and did her own thing, this was her time in the park. she never sniffed other dogs butts, even if we went one of the walking/running trail.  she did look for other dogs though walking when we got to the trail behind the swimming pool, there weren't many,still she never barked, just wanted to touch noses and say Hi. she loved kids and they loved her, so shaggy and cute. she didn't like it though when a neighbor dog would come running thru our yard. one time with one of, they went jaw to jaw through the screen door. this was Her house, and we never mo

but I made it. here I am.

that had to have been the worst night in bed i've ever had. whole body shaking, dry heaving an couldn't stop coughing, eyes getting matted and re-matted with gunk and burning and couldn't stop itching them, body going from hot to cold ever couple of minutes, restless leg syndrome, cramping foot., pinched nerve sharping.. I think I got a lttle bit of sleep though. took 3 Trazdone's and rolled over and didn't move or make a sound for 4 or 5 hours. . I'm slightly better today.  

so sorry, mom.

 

I'm old enough to remember

  woman watching us, going somewhere in the car, and while she was driving, baby on her lap. or the dads, letting his kid sit between his legs and steering… RIP, Neil Padgett. when your boys won state basketball all you said was thanks to your beautiful daughters. oh fu-ck, they weren’t even yours. and they didn’t even care.

when I was pregnant, went out to lunch with Dave's mom and asked her about Dave's biological dad's blood/heritage/free tree and she looked at me like I was insulting her

she didn't even tell Dave that her husband John wasn't his real dad until he was 14. He said he had/his mom had, something about his mom's side and he could send me a copy, but he never did. I always think of this around St. Patrick's Day.  Want Beth to know, and keep it. 

that was a rough overnight.

paralyzing pain from the back of my head, thru my neck, and all the way down my back. barely slept. it's a lot better now, kinda. did just now take some ibuprofen, with my Scoobies, but should have waited on it, just vomited it all up. would have gotten up from bed and taken pain pills, but Eclipse was sleeping on his bed in my room, and he would have gotten all excited. 

never should put their food bowls down beside each other

Woah.  they just got into a very rough stand up fight.  it was all Eliza starting it. It'll have to be separate rooms with the doors closed from now on. and they're really playing hard too.  gonna keep Eliza downstairs with Phil.  but Eliza nips and bites down. have to keep giving her a toy or something to chew on. getting sick of Phil thinking I should be doing cartwheels for my doggies. I Am watching them, and playing with them, feeding them, watering them, letting them out to the backyard. my mother did the same thing to me about my kids. always got something to prove, Sheri. yeah.

hmmmm, whatever.

omg, leash on this new 180 pound German Shephard to take him out potty in the front yard

 going down the the stairs to the door, he bolted down, and I fell all the ways down the stairs, landed on the foyer, hard fall.  not injured though.  probably just bruises.  see what it's like tomorrow.. couldn't believe Bailey bit into his cheek and wouldn't let go.  they're both in the backyard, til the owner come, which will be soon.  all weekend, Bailey never did that.

Dr. Dan.

well, my two kids seem okay, and they’re 29 now. I think my mother is more like OCD, don’t know if it’s a combination of things. She did take us to family counseling psychogolist, after their divorce, and I believe the doc tried to hit on her. She probably said, never again. My brother, we were young, counselor asked him to give a compliment to your mother. He said, Mom, I like your shoes. ha.  

Facebook says it was 4 years ago, we went out hiking at Pallisaides Park in Mt. Vernon, Iowa in the Spring. Phil and his son in this pic.

 

back in the day DeWitt had a great graphics T-shirt shop.

 watched them iron on the print I wanted.  had one with Grutz on the back. no idea how I paid for that.  My mom didn't do weekly allowances, no, that's stupid, I never did either. not sure how my mother washed that shirt, or the print coming off. I know I destoyed many printed mugs and glasses by putting them in the diswasher. gave the schooner I bought from Hard Rock Cafe to Ronnie.

large open showers, the only girl who ever did it was Cynthia Miller in high school after exercise.

 you weren't sure about a lot of things as a parent, huh, Sheri. no.  at fitness center Beth and Jenna wanted to go in separate stalls to have privacy while changing. kids were young we went Sundays to Pleasant Valley school pool, woman there in front of them, naked, all exposed, changing clothes in front of the locker.

things have changed somewhat, with gov

  Phil left the Union, and his insurance ended too, but I got privvy to get him on Medicaid, since he’s not 65 yet to get Medicare, and I was able to do all this online. never has been that way, it’s always been snail mail. but anyway, all my doing. very little thanks.

what did they think of that, Sheri, your dads, about classroom bullying and forced to leave your school.

 they never said anything.  my mother caught every sign. I did share it with Anna too, in Florida, living with us, my dad's woman. Her daughter had just died to suicide.  We had ice cream in the house, and she was another who said it would ruin my girlish figure, right when I was enjoying it. She called my mother about me potential suicide.  but no.  No mental illness from it.

what happened?

 mother Leader woman in bowling,me  rushing home to get my kids there, leagues, "You can't help him, he's gotta do it himself." just so mean to her own kids, and me and everybody, then kids in high school, she got real friendly and nice, came to Beth's graduation party and I didn't even put it in paper. Can't remember if Beth gave out postcards to her friends, maybe.

I remember this story in the news, long time ago

 two young kids playing outside went into the garage, got inside the wide empty freezer, probably hide and seek, closed the lid, and they couldn't get out.  dead.. imagine the mother opening that lid and finding them. I also remember a woman at the laundromat, she had money and clothes in the washer, door open, the baby got inside and a woman with the mother shut the door, and it started with him in it. mother franic, couldn't get it to open.  drowned why are we making appliances like this?.

strange, huh?

 when you told Ryan Collins to invite Joel Craig to read at Rozz Tox, and after the reading, a live band, and all Joel was into was the female front singer. I don't believe we ever talked, probably never will again.

No, Beth, you're not doing that.

 the  teens and parents event to sleep outside and go hungry with no supper to imagine or something the homeless. high school.  but at one time, DeWitt Central high school was one of the highest for giving blood.  inside knowledge.
