Sunday, nothing but a movie day.  Went looking at houses on Saturday with the Clan.  Yep, the Clan.  Let's see, Jeff, Courtney, Pat, Dick, Beth, Brad, Bob-the Realtor, and then Matt showed up!  It was quite a parade!  Most of the houses were pretty nasty, but they did see one that caught their eye :)  We'll see!  Austin had a tournament in Seekonk, lost all three games. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to see Monsters vs. Aliens on Sunday with Sue Sue.  I think I fell asleep.  Don't know how it was #1 at the box office!  I tried a special recipe for dinner, shrimp and pasta, and meatballs.  Oh it was so good!!!  Can't wait to have leftovers for supper. ummmm!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just got an email from Austin's Science teacher, he got a 99 on the Science test he took Friday!  Yeah Austin!

Friday nite basketball in Pawtucket, Austin's team won so that means we go back tomorrow.  Saturday, we had our first football registration for the Falcon's.  It went great, we signed up 105 kids in the first session.  Hopefully, we'll be able to field all 5 teams, plus cheerleaders!  It's amazing with the economy the way it is that we were able to bring that many kids in. Then, off to another basketball game in Berkley, they won this one also, you know what that means!  Back tomorrow!  Ha ha. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, championship game in Pawtucket - Austin's team won.  He got a great trophy.  Now off to New Bedford to see Grampie and Roberta, then a slew of houses to look at.  Looked at about 7 or 8 houses with a few quite interesting prospects.  One that I would move into today!!  Courtney and Jeff are very excited about their new venture.  Home we go to enjoy a 12 hour simmering chuck roast, ummmmm.  A little on the fatty side, must stay with the regular pot roast from now on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Austin's team won the runnerup trophy in Berkley, Roger said it was a great game though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is Monday.  I have to attend a funeral this morning - my bosses' Mom passed away over the weekend.  Very sad.  Meeting after that and then to my annual, much dreaded, doctor's appt. - you know - the one you have to wait a lifetime for an appt. so you can't cancel it.  Hopefully, she'll be on time and I can get home early.  Look forward to an evening of studying science and having my taxes done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crap, I havent' been to the gym since Thursday!  Oh that's so not cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone else has a nice relaxing day!  It's very cold out!

Austin had his audiology exam scheduled for yesterday at 3 pm. Roger took the day off to take him.  I figured they would be home by 4 pm and as I was sitting on the couch reading the paper, it dawned on me that something was wrong!  I was told at Austin's hearing exam in January that the audiology exam would be at the Dartmouth location.  Well,  guess what, I neglected to relay that information to Roger!!!! OMG!  He was so mad at me.  Not only that, but the stupid receptionist, made them sit in the office for 20 minutes before telling him they were at the wrong office!  Eeee I am losing it.  Anyway, it all worked out, Austin was able to have his exam.  The results are not back yet, but it looks like he has "matured" and progressed through the CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder).  Thank goodness!  Still a little evidence on the left side (which is where the scarring is).  Hopefully, this is an upward turn for him.  Now I just have to stop him from growing!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for your well wishes!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-8607386333399333756?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/8607386333399333756/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=8607386333399333756' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/8607386333399333756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/8607386333399333756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2009/03/hearing-test.html' title='Hearing Test'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-749293758579033200</id><published>2009-03-19T09:50:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T10:07:45.468-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Busy weekend starting tonite!</title><content type='html'>Last night Austin started a tournament in Berkley, which they won!

Austin has an audiology exam today to see how his hearing is progressing.........hopefully good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow one game in Somerset and then we have to go to Pawtucket for another game (travel team). Then my weekend will probably be filled with cheeseburgers and pizza because I won't have time to cook! Basketball, football signups, baseball practice and house hunting!

We'll be looking at a ton of them on Sunday, and that will be an experience in itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kyle is laid off and furiously pounding the pavement.  Anyone hiring?  He's also researching the pharmacy tech program that is offered at some hospital in Rhodeisland.  Jordan is working at Venus full time and hopes to get back into the place in Newport.

Sorry.  My life is not that exciting.  Now that the holiday's are over and the bills are piling in, I'm sure I'll have more time on my hands.  Between Christmas shopping, studying for my exam and running Austin to basketball, there hasn't been a moment to spare.  Last weekend was pretty eventful, went shopping for wedding dresses!  Yes, and we found one!  Visiting David's bridal was such a nice experience.  The setup is very accommodating.  They have the dresses in the front of the store and in the back they have  15 dressing rooms, each with a pedastal for the bride to stand on and mirrors everywhere.  Each bride-to-be is assigned a "dress person" for lack of a better term.  This poor person takes the dress out of the bag, helps the bride put it on, ties all the strings, buttons, etc.  Then if the bride-to-be doesn't like it, on to the next dress!  And believe me, some of the bridezilla's that were there giving these poor "dress ladies" a run for their money.  Once the bride-to-be finds a #1 dress, they start pulling out the accessories, gloves, earrings, necklaces, vails, shoes, you name it.  They give you the entire package and you can't help but feel like a princess!  They also suck you into buying the accessories because you look like the bride on top of the wedding cake.  Luckily, Courtney already had a dress in mind so she only tried on one!  Sorry no photos to share, we don't want the groom to get a hold of them!  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to see Marley and Me after that.  Read the book so I knew what to expect, brought the Wendy's napkins in because we had no tissues.  When I read the book, I remember sobbing uncontrollably, never expected it could get much worse than that.  Well, it did.  I would say, I cried for the last 10 minutes of the movie and didn't want to move to get the Wendy's napkins, so I just let the tears flow.  Great movie though!  I recommend it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it for now, taking my test soon so hopefully, will have more time.  Of course, with American Idol back on I'll be glued to the tv.

As I got ready to trudge into work with my work cart, lunch, purse and Coffee, I slipped on the ice!  Yep, wewww, feet up in the air and fall down boom.  While I was lying there, I saw the coffee dripping out of the cup and I said "O NO!"  I stood it up and thank goodness only lost a few drops.  Now, picture this I'm still lying down on the ice.  Then it dawned on me.  I could have a broken arm!  Anyway, I dusted myself off, picked up my coffee, looked around to see if anyone saw me and hurried into the building.  No broken bones, only broken ego.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-3797099248261435476?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/3797099248261435476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=3797099248261435476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/3797099248261435476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/3797099248261435476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-meaning-for-ice-coffee.html' title='New meaning for Ice Coffee??'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-1114704690253068800</id><published>2008-11-29T14:22:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T15:25:12.485-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Chris' Visit</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/STGXdbwAgtI/AAAAAAAAAzo/XoGkLc9OBkc/s1600-h/DSCN2247.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/STGXdbwAgtI/AAAAAAAAAzo/XoGkLc9OBkc/s200/DSCN2247.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274163170548679378" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a couple of pics from when Chris and Tim stopped by Thanksgiving eve!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-1114704690253068800?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/1114704690253068800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=1114704690253068800' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/1114704690253068800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/1114704690253068800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/11/chris-visit.html' title='Chris&apos; Visit'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/STGXdbwAgtI/AAAAAAAAAzo/XoGkLc9OBkc/s72-c/DSCN2247.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-4492464739118325066</id><published>2008-11-28T12:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T12:57:51.501-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanksgiving</title><content type='html'>Well, it's over.  The hustle and bustle of food preparation and it's gone in one gulp!  We went to my sister-in-law Cheryl's this year, but I brought the turkey.  It's a little difficult trying to time the cooking of a turkey with a 45 minute ride in between.  I started the turkey at 9am and it still wasn't done at 3!!!  We were starving!  Luckily, Cheryl is always one to try new recipies.  She had pumpkin soup, veggie dip and a delicious cider.  So we kept picking until the darn bird was done.  And to top it off, the bird didn't have one of those "pop tops" to let you know when it's done.  We had to use the meat thermometer and it seemed like forever.  Derek kept hovering over the pan like a buzzard.  Ha ha!  Anyway, all was good.  We got home about 7 ish and everyone put on their jammies (probably cause they couldn't button their pants)!  Roger and Austin have the day off and Courtney and I went to work.  I got up early to do a little "black Friday" shopping.  I was sitting at my desk by 7am.  Austin is playing in a basketball tournament this weekend so we'll be busy.  I know.......yes, I said basketball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a few videos, he's in the orange shirt #1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266"

I am able to get back to my gym routine and I actually have Austin jogging with me down at the battleship.  We even convinced Roger to join us one night, but we kicked his butt!!

Not really......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so Sue Sue and I went to the "Boo at the Zoo" at Buttonwood park.  It was a Big Friends Little Friends outing. We met up with another BFLF couple and the girl Kalie is Sue Sue's age.  They hit it off well.  We plan to meet up with them at the Christmas Party.

After a while we had to put the bumpers up!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's some shots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8Sb6l4Z2I/AAAAAAAAAqM/dXa22dVX7Q4/s1600-h/webDSC01132.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8Sb6l4Z2I/AAAAAAAAAqM/dXa22dVX7Q4/s200/webDSC01132.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264446760213309282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8Sl3o9q7I/AAAAAAAAAqU/G9Z-3LwC-wg/s1600-h/webDSC01124.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 161px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8Sl3o9q7I/AAAAAAAAAqU/G9Z-3LwC-wg/s200/webDSC01124.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264446931219622834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8SyaHZckI/AAAAAAAAAqc/LqNwF3YkUKE/s1600-h/webDSC01126.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8SyaHZckI/AAAAAAAAAqc/LqNwF3YkUKE/s200/webDSC01126.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264447146632507970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-3191615222379010295?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/3191615222379010295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=3191615222379010295' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/3191615222379010295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/3191615222379010295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/11/halloween-and-bowling.html' title='Halloween and Bowling'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SQ8QGDUHOUI/AAAAAAAAApc/BlSP00S6Isg/s72-c/DSC01042.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-1734161372630848882</id><published>2008-10-09T09:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T09:57:53.281-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Been a while........</title><content type='html'>I know its been a while.  Sorry, I've been swamped.  Especially, now that it gets dark earlier, my internal clock tells me it's time for bed at 8:45!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's see, Courtney passed her registration exam, she is now a Registered Sonographer.  I think that's what they call it.  YEAH Courtney!  Now she can catch up on her tv shows!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to see the movie "Beverly Hills Chiwawa (sp.) with my "little friend" Sue Sue.  It was really funny!  There were these little girls in the theater that were aggrivating us though, they kept getting up and down - talking on cell phones.  They couldn't have been more than 11.  Parents just drop off their kids and leave them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Austin had another game in the rain against Fairhaven.  It was nasty.  It was a pretty even game but unfortunately they added another loss to their record with a score of 13-6.  Austin got hurt at the game and was DOWN on the field for at least 15 minutes.  It was the longest 15 minutes of my life, all I could hear was "wah wah wah" like Charlie Brown's teacher.  He hurt his knee and his leg was twisted one way and ankle and foot pointing another. It was pretty scary.  He was finally able to get up and walk on it.  No bruising or swelling which is good.  Went to school the next day like nothing happened.  Hmmm....is that the movie star in him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's some pics of that game.  That's Austin with the red sleeves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4NuhJPUXI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/_JN99VKd-H4/s1600-h/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+053.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4NuhJPUXI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/_JN99VKd-H4/s320/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+053.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255152908010213746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4MpxEOJgI/AAAAAAAAAnI/tcXssa2GRC8/s1600-h/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+093.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4MpxEOJgI/AAAAAAAAAnI/tcXssa2GRC8/s320/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+093.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255151726873159170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not really his legs, but you get the idea right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4Mdi9N1wI/AAAAAAAAAnA/rpMvgbmHbcw/s1600-h/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+066.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4Mdi9N1wI/AAAAAAAAAnA/rpMvgbmHbcw/s320/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+066.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255151516927252226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-1734161372630848882?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/1734161372630848882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=1734161372630848882' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/1734161372630848882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/1734161372630848882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/10/been-while.html' title='Been a while........'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SO4NuhJPUXI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/_JN99VKd-H4/s72-c/Kids+at+Tiverton+Middle+82808+053.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-6946275923667696646</id><published>2008-09-23T13:22:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T13:27:16.552-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Photography is only a hobby</title><content type='html'>Well, big game this weekend (we lost again) But......Austin ran a 60 yard touchdown!

If you squint your eyes and look really close.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No really, I was so disgusted with the way they were playing and the way the "coach" was screaming that I turned off the camera.  Well, wouldn't you know?  As I fumbled with the camera to try and hurry and take the picture (after all it was 60 yards)I should have had plenty of time.  Yeah!!! I got the picture alright, with the lens cap on.  Duh!!!

He scored 2 touchdowns!  Granted they only used 1/2 the field, hence scrimmage.  It was pretty vicious.  Some of the kids from Warren Swansea have some attitudes - NOT!  One of them called Austin's teamate the "N" word.  Can you believe that kids mouth?  Austin was not pleased with they way they were treated by the other team.  But..........we have the Asst. Football Commissioner as a Coach, so hopefully that will be an isolated incident.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-793989386845193068?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/793989386845193068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=793989386845193068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/793989386845193068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/793989386845193068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/08/football-begins.html' title='Football Begins'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-409678038982521945</id><published>2008-08-18T11:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T20:32:44.190-04:00</updated><title type='text'>VACATION'S OVER</title><content type='html'>Well, sorry it took me so long but I tried to stay away from the computer while I was on vacation.  It was tough, but after a day or two I got used to it.  I'm back to work now and feel like I never left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the things we did on vacation were.............pictures to come&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, my little "sister" and I went on our first outing together.  We went on a 14 mile (well maybe only 12) bike hike on the Eastbay Bike Path.  It's starts in Bristol and goes all the way to East Providence.  It was fun.  We had lots of time to talk.  Sue Sue (what she likes to be called) almost got run over a few times.  We still haven't learned the biking rules of the road.  She was tying her shoe and just ran into the road in front of a speedster! Ahh!!  After catching our breath we stopped for an ice cream cone, there's a cute little place on the bike path right next to a Dell's Lemonade stand.  After that we stopped and picked up some corn and went home and swam in the newly renovated POOL!!!  Yep the pool is ready!  All in All the first visit with my new little "sister" went great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday was a journey to Six Flags.  We piled into my little matrix with a few neighborhood kids a drove to Springfield.  Roger and I followed closely to the roller coaster maniacs.  It usually takes me a few hours to get up my nerve.  Once I did, and as I was waiting in line for the wooden roller coaster, it started raining!!!  Not just sprinkles either.  It was monsouns and thunder and lightening!  We had to seek shelter in a little "Funny Hats" gift shop for at least an hour.  Once it stopped raining, we trucked around for a bit to see if they would reopen the rides.  Of course, if  you ask a staff member they don't know what is going on.  After the 2nd hour of walking around, we overheard someone say there was another storm coming through.  We decided it was time to go.  When going through the turnstyle, we opted not to get our handstamped (why?).  As we were approaching the car, the rides started running!!! Can you believe it?  The boys were so disappointed.  Oh well, we still got home at 9:30 because we hit traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's see rain Monday, Tuesday, yeah finally the sun came out Wednesday!  Got to enjoy the pool for the rest of the week and work on our tans.  I picked up my little sister again on Friday and we hung by the pool again.  She really loves to swim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, went to see Celine Dion with Sue V.  Laughed like hell on the way up listening to some comedian.  Laughed so hard I cried and couldn't see the road!  The concert was good, had a great time and always lots of laughs!  "what the heck is that smell"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday we had a cookout, it was our 15 year anniversary!  No one drank my martinis because they were too strong.  So I had to drink them!!  It was fun, got to see some old friends and some new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday was OMG nurse this hangover day.  I dragged butt and Roger cleaned up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-409678038982521945?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/409678038982521945/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=409678038982521945' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/409678038982521945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/409678038982521945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/08/vacations-over.html' title='VACATION&apos;S OVER'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-5989576222955426315</id><published>2008-08-05T09:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T09:59:05.710-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dull Monday</title><content type='html'>Not much today.

It always taste so yummy when someone else does the cooking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like the kids went in the pool again as I see lots of towels hanging on the deck.  Again a site for sore eyes.

It's a part of Big Brother/Big Sister, she is my mentee.  I met her Mom and brothers today and after todays meeting we can go on outings together.  We made a list of things to do and one of things she wants to do first is go for a bike ride.  She doesn't have a bike so I'm looking for a "hand me down", for now she can use Austins.  I think I'll take her to Colt State Park, then maybe for lunch.  She's 11 years old and a sweetheart.  I hope you all get to meet her soon.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a picture of us during the "SMILES" program that took place at her school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff came over to bring the "real" ring to Courtney after being sized.  She is soooo excited.  She's already looking at wedding dresses!  $$$$$$$ Here we go!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-5989576222955426315?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/5989576222955426315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=5989576222955426315' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/5989576222955426315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/5989576222955426315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/08/dull-monday.html' title='Dull Monday'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJhcU26ozKI/AAAAAAAAAi0/7q7pQh25GFw/s72-c/Smiles+Mentee+Susan+Hesketh.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-4439548886710376530</id><published>2008-08-04T07:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-04T09:12:57.282-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Exciting Weekend!</title><content type='html'>I know I have you on the edge of your seats, but we must go in chronilogical order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was a crazy night, football started and all paperwork was due.  August 1 is like Christmas Eve for popwarner football players.  There were even older kids there that have moved on to high school checking out the practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtney and I went to Boot Camp together (a class hosted by two of the instructors from WOW), I think she kicked my butt this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday was an ALL DAY baseball event in Dartmouth.  The first game we played Easton and guess what?   We WON!  The kids really needed this win to boost there self esteem.  It's been a tough All-Star season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT....................during this game I received a phone call from Jeff, Courtney's boyfriend.  I found it odd because he's the email king, especially now with his IPhone!  He asked me if we were at home and I told him I was at Austin's game.  He said "oh.  Well, I'm going to ask Courtney to marry me tomorrow and I am asking your permission"   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WHAT!!!&lt;/span&gt; OH MY GOD I shouted!  Luckily, I was on the bleachers in the outfield by myself.  I started to sob uncontrollably, Jeff was concerned that someone would stare at me.  I assured him that I didn't care, but that I was alone and it was okay!  Let me CRY!  Once I was able to contain myself, he filled me in on the details.  They were going for massages in the morning, out to dinner and then to Fort Phoenix where they met for the big question.  I told Roger I didn't think he'd make it past the massage. Ha ha!&lt;br /&gt;After we hung up, I needed to tell someone.  I started to cry again and now I want to shout but the people that saw me cry earlier were ignoring me thinking I'm having some kind of breakdown.  So I called Tracy (Chandler's Mom) because she's my parent-partner during baseball and she wasn't anywhere to be found.  I said "where are you" and she said "I'm pulling into the parking lot, why?" all I could get out was "I'm crying and I'm all alone".  Now she's thinking what is wrong with this chick, but assured me she would be here STAT!  She showed up and I told her the story.  I could see the goosebumps!!Thanks Tray!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the game is over, we win, now we play tonite at 7 pm.  We rush home because the "pool guy" is there and we want to take advantage of his presence.  He finished up what he had to do and I was able to throw the chemicals in and the aquabot so we anticipate the pool to be ready by tomorrow.  Just waiting on the cement to be poured and we are ready for a party!!!Well almost......Shortly after I threw in the chemicals the sky opened up and down came the rain.  Thinking that the baseball game was going to be cancelled, (because that's what the weather man indicated) I poured myself a drink (tequila and ruby red to be exact).  I was just starting to relax when I noticed the friggin sun was out.  Oh crap, back to the baseball field!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kids played another good game but ended up losing 5-3.  The kids got to play under the lights but it was late (hour rain delay) and you could tell they were tired.  Next game tomorrow, 2:30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJcAPAnjPbI/AAAAAAAAAis/J8so7kmw1tg/s1600-h/DSC00635.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJcAPAnjPbI/AAAAAAAAAis/J8so7kmw1tg/s320/DSC00635.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230649750078045618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was tough being around Courtney without saying anything, I wanted her to just go.......I'm so bad at keeping secrets.  I kept my phone by my side all day just in case Jeff didn't make it to the beach.  The baseball game was a quick one (we got 10 run ruled).  Uncle Timmy showed up to watch and he has yet to see Austin's team win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home we go.  Austin and Chandler were able to jump in the pool!  Yeah its officially open!  The neighbors must've heard the splashing because before you knew it the pool was full of kids.  It was a sight for sore eyes.  We cooked on the grille and lit a fire, it was great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FINALLY, my phone rings.  5PM  He made it to the beach!!!  Courtney called me crying, "did you know something i didn't know"  sniff sniff!  I laughed and congratulated her.  She had no idea.  Their plan is Fall 2010.  Plenty of time to plan a wedding.  I'm happy for both of them, I hope they enjoy every minute......sniff sniff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a picture of the ring.  I haven't seen the live one yet because she has to have it sized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJb-KEOCBKI/AAAAAAAAAik/vuC-FGP9iwk/s1600-h/courtneys+ring.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJb-KEOCBKI/AAAAAAAAAik/vuC-FGP9iwk/s320/courtneys+ring.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230647466122151074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-4439548886710376530?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/4439548886710376530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=4439548886710376530' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/4439548886710376530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/4439548886710376530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/08/exciting-weekend.html' title='Exciting Weekend!'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJcAPAnjPbI/AAAAAAAAAis/J8so7kmw1tg/s72-c/DSC00635.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146310506419709608.post-2935679785761399022</id><published>2008-08-01T09:58:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T10:22:04.391-04:00</updated><title type='text'>4 inches</title><content type='html'>Austin went for his "preteen" physical today.  I'm not sure why they call it that.  They schedule it at a special time of the day and only "preteens" have appointments at this time.  The doctor didn't do anything different than she has the past 12 years.  The only thing different is Austin doesn't yank her stethescope off her neck anymore!  Anyway, grew 4 inches since last year and gained a few pounds.  Which was devistating for him because football starts today.  His max weight for his age is 100 and he weighed 103.

After he turned on the lights and slammed the door, I mumbled something about "you die" and must've fell back to sleep.  Got up around 6 am, a little late for work.  That means Austin was crabby because he had to rush.  Poptarts for breakfast, not me, him.  I had my usual gross, plain oatmeal with fresh fruit. Must try to stay fit.  Dropped Austin off at the Boys Club for camp and off to work I go.  Suprisingly, they got my coffee right at Dunkin because that could have been the start of a horrific day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is busy but bearable, listened to the Jerky Boys for a bit.  Reminded me of you Sue V.  Sat outside at lunch (gorgeous beach day) and ate my cukes and chicken salad wrap.  See?  I told you I was boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll see if I can find a photo or 2 to brighten up your day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Here's my Dad enjoying the thing he loves the most, Camping at Horseneck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJC0dcSnIVI/AAAAAAAAAg0/1DKfVAaMRJ0/s1600-h/DSC00544.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJC0dcSnIVI/AAAAAAAAAg0/1DKfVAaMRJ0/s320/DSC00544.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228877585280606546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Here's Austin trying to fly a kite at Horseneck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJC1xylk6lI/AAAAAAAAAhE/i_kT4fuTM6E/s1600-h/austin+kite.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJC1xylk6lI/AAAAAAAAAhE/i_kT4fuTM6E/s320/austin+kite.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228879034374744658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3146310506419709608-6817623755884208546?l=suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/feeds/6817623755884208546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3146310506419709608&amp;postID=6817623755884208546' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/6817623755884208546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3146310506419709608/posts/default/6817623755884208546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://suest-stpierresdayinthelife.blogspot.com/2008/07/here-we-go.html' title='Here we go!!'/><author><name>suest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17845022233712524735</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_XN41M8O-DtI/SJC0dcSnIVI/AAAAAAAAAg0/1DKfVAaMRJ0/s72-c/DSC00544.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
