Thank you to everyone who remembered. You're all very sweet and I love you all!

OMG! I'm home alone!
I have so much to do and I have the whole place to myself.
I should be cleaning or painting or getting the clutter *hidden* for the party we're having here this weekend.
Instead, I'm here and I feel guilty.
I do have some pics to post...Since Alot has happened. For example,
Mommy and daddy are gone until October :-(
Lindy and squidge are gone till 2010?!
Matt and Mariel should be arriving @ Logan tonight. :-)
I got big J to go to the 4th of July cookout @ my Madrinhas' house. I guess I can thank Uncle Wayne. He says he can "relate" to him. Whoo boy! (I'm rolling my eyes)
Anyway,
To start, here come the pics from our trip to New York:
A fuzzy view of the skyline
This one is for Lindy....why did you want me to snap this one??
This one is also for Lindy...
Eating great lunch...on NYC sidewalk. Gross, What were we thinking?
Here was the reason for the near fatal collision on the highway coming home! :)
Here is some random pics from Squidges birthday party: (excuse the dates....I can't figure out how to remove the date stamp)
Here is my only pic of Mary w/ her baby bump
So cute:
This one is for Wally:

Out of my mind
Okay...I never check my email first thing in the morning. NEVER.
Some odd reason drew me to the PC and I logged in and checked at about 6:55 AM today - about 10 minutes before J gets on his bus.
Oh boy! What do I see?
Two emails from his teachers. He never turned in a paper that was due weeks ago and it counts as TWO test scores. He also had TWO assignments due today that are both worth a quiz grade.
Do you think he had them done?
If you guessed "absolutely, because he is repeating this year and is aware of the importance of finishing on a high note"
You obviously haven't been paying attention. Actually I really haven't mentioned this before.
I just want to pack my things and fly to a far away place - not to return for 5 years in the hopes that everything has "worked itself out"
Back to reality - I'm so in need of a happy pill right now!
Anyhow....I digress.
I was able to find an incomplete copy of one of them but not the 2nd assignment. However, I did find TWO other similar assignments that were never done. Who knows how long ago they were due?!!?! He is currently failing English.
He has no idea that he is so close to being out on his own. 15 years old already!
I don't know what to do.
Sorry for venting -
Aye Meu Deus!

So much to post!
I still have Easter pics to post, First Communion pics, J's Confirmation service project...and pics of what I've been doing for the last (2) months.
Since my laptop is down again and I haven't had any time to post anything with Baseball twice a week and softball three times a week. Not to mention Girl scouts and trips to the library with J for a research paper....I will just post a very quick and heartfelt:

HAPPY EASTER
I took T and K to the Easter Vigil last night. It was very LOOONG - two hours to be exact.....if you count the 15-20 minute drive there and back, almost 3 HOURS, well you get the point.
However, the choir was wonderful. T was singing along to alot of the catchy songs they sang, and there were mANy songs!
It was great seeing his face when everyone had their candles lit. It was very nice.
John and Little J went to the morning mass. I got to sleep in. :-)
Then it was off to Vavo's for Easter meal and egg hunt. Pictures to follow.
All in all - a very nice day.

Matthew with T
I love Uncle Joe

My camera battery was dead so I wasn't able to get a picture of everyone - I'm surprised I managed the pics I did capture! This one is of Gina and the little angel:
I wanted to get a pic of Uncle Wayne, madrinha, Jason and his family, titia Maria Zinha and the family......but Oh well. Maybe next time I'll remember to charge the damn battery!
