market structure owned and controlled by one seller according to the daughter who is doing vocab for her very boring Econ class. It is a required course this year and maybe the school is under the delusion that if the class is required some day in the future these students will be able to solve problems that we cannot currently solve.  Fat chance based on the class that she is in. The class is so awful the teacher can't handle it. What does this say about the state of our educational system? Survivor is on tonight. Hip hip hooray. It is my favorite show. I am trying to get inspired before the show so I know what to write about it. I run a fantasy game of Survivor and always write an update of the show. Maybe I will post it or a past one so it can be enjoyed by all. I don't know how kids can carry backpacks today and not suffer permanent damage. Amy's is so bloody heavy it can hardly be picked up. Thankfully it hangs on her wheelchair and I only have to hoist it on once ...

Fire. Burn. Fire. Flames. Papers. Burn. We had fire outside and burned some wood and Amy's papers from last year. Her junior papers went up in flames. C'est la vie. Here today and gone tonight. I am tired. Down. Tanked and going to bed.

We went out to dinner to our favorite restaurant tonight, QCumbers is a great place to bring the family. It is inexpensive, good deal for the dollar, family friendly,  with wonderful crew of people especially Kari and Bonnie. We have been going there since July 17, 1993. It is our favorite as I said. There is an all you can eat, help yourself til you burst salad bar, dessert, entree, ice cream, fruit, etc bar. Enough to satisfy the most finicky and hungry person. Enough for the sponsor. So we are chowing down the salad and the assorted food stuffs, Kari comes over to say hi. We chat and reminisce and the husband likes to bring up his favorite subject--our my mom mentions bowel movements or intestinal issues during dinner. Now he loves to tell this story all the time at dinner. Do you think one of these days it will dawn on him that he is much worse than she is? Probably not. After being fully sated we say goodbye to the girls and head home. Night time has a chill in the air and...

"MOTHER ANNE!" I knew I was in deep shit when she called me that. Sometimes it is because I said a bad word, sometimes it is because I have done something she deems 'inappropriate' sometimes it is just cuz it so much fun to tease her. The day has been pretty normal with no great catastrophe as of yet. Just your normal wake up, roll her over, pour food in the bag, leave, get dressed, come back, get her dressed progression and hope she wakes up once I get the clothes on and put her in the sling and into the wheelchair. It does help to have some semi conscious state when I put the contacts in because closed eyes don't maintain soft contacts well. The lenses tend to stick to the eyelids and vision is dark and blurred. Anyway, back to the Mother Anne bit. I had mentioned Sven and Ole when she said something and it produced a glare which we affectionately call "stink eye" and the exclamation. My daughter is a constant source of entertainment for me and I ...
