Not yet ...
Linda had some contractions this morning, enough so that she went to the hospital with Kennan. The doctor checked her and sent her home for a while, until her contractions are stronger and closer together. Ah, yes, I still remember ... Anyway, I'm thinking the baby will make his appearance over the weekend, maybe even Monday. I guessed Feb 2. The girls are really excited and TB is really looking forward to the baby's birth. Well, I guess Billy is excited, too ... boys don't say much about that stuff.
What a day! I am really disappointed that the school cop did not call me back. I'm not letting this go on a back burner. I'll have to call again on Monday.
I am online late and pretty much too fried to write anything intelligible so here is some fun stuff:
PAST: I remember those pre-teen days when having a pocketful of change gave me a sense of financial independence. What did you first do for money?
My parents gave me an allowance so the first thing I did was chores around the house. It was more than just helping with a couple of things. Both my parents worked full time and so I did the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry and whatever else. When I was 14 or 15, I began babysitting too.
PRESENT: Understanding the current (lousy) state of the economy, I won't assume you're employed right now. So. What did you last do for money?
Ha, what a question! I would say I worked for money last time. I was an interpreter for the deaf for over 20 years.
FUTURE: If you suddenly came into a situation where you didn't need the income, would you still work some sort of job?
I would do what I?m doing now ? writing, trying to write a novel, journaling, and that sort of thing.

I am looking forward to Nikolas' birth. I only hope the girls (MP & LH)can work out their differences before hand. Sometimes little things unresolved can drive brothers and sisters apart for many years. I know first hand.
