Sunday Paper

I fear this will be me someday...


"WHERE is my SUNDAY paper?!" The irate customer calling the newspaper office, loudly demanded to know where her Sunday edition was.

"Madam", said the newspaper employee, "today is Saturday. The Sunday paper is not delivered until tomorrow, on SUNDAY".

There was quite a long pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a ray of recognition as she was heard to mutter, "Well, ****, so that's why no one was at church today."

We'll miss you Smokey Joe Potter

It's not like my emotions weren't running high as it was, I came home after work on Wednesday to find a very dehydrated cat, I knew right away we were in trouble... We went to Ian's graduation ceremony and as soon as we got home called the vet to take him in. You could tell right away that she knew we were in trouble too. They kept him over night tried to get some fluids in him and take some blood. The blood tests confirmed her fear-kidney failure. Bottom line, not much you can do. So this afternoon we let him go. Ian and I went to the vet to be with him, then Sean, Ian and I took him out to my mom & dads and buried him in their backyard. Sean made a cross of sorts for him-it's been a very sad day in the Potter household.

Ian's Big Day

Ian graduated from middle school Wednesday-(no really he did and without summer school!) Even with all the struggles this year it was still his best middle school year. He didn't want to go to the celebration at all, and all the way there told me how unfair it was that I was forcing him to go. He may or may not appreciate me making him go in later years, but at least he won't regret not going! I wasn't able to get any good pictures because the set-up was a little different and in Ian's eyes that would be "annoying". So I will post a partial picture as well as the balloons and cake just for the record. High School for this one next year!

Sean's Big Day

Sean graduated from 5th grade on Tuesday, on to middle school! They had a nice program, the 5th graders sang about 5 songs, then the 5th grade teachers gave them an advancement certificate. Remember how your parents said they grow-up really fast, enjoy each moment? They're right!
