Happy birthday Grandma Sharpe Sept. 11th 2009

My mother in law will be 86 years old today. We will have her over for dinner tonight. 8 years ago on her birthday we called her up after we got our eldest off to school. As soon as she picked up the phone we began a rousing chorus of birthday. As soon we stopped singing she said turn on the TV! turn on the TV! a plane has hit some buildings in New York! So of course we did and then stared awestruck as we watched our country be attacked. Paul couldn't turn off the the TV for days. He stayed up late (well he always does but even later) and watched everything he could about what happened. Myself after a day or so I just wanted it to stop. I didn't want to see those building going down anymore. It was a very sad day indeed for our country. Praise God we have had no further attacks like this. God Bless America

Well, Natalie's EEG came back normal, that is good thing, so it doesn't appear she is having seizures. The next test will be an all night sleep study. It is possible she isn't restfully sleeping and that could be a cause for her chronic tiredness lack of focus etc. The chiropractor has her on a few new vitamins and she said give them at least a month or so to see if we notice improvement.

Already getting her up this week for school has been a challenge . (except the first day)

I just discovered their is a canned pumpkin shortage. Who knew? I went to two stores this morning in search of this and none to be found. I asked and was told they haven't had any for a awhile and didn't know when it would come in. I use this in a quite a few recipes, and wanted to make a birthday cake with it today. Oh well on to plan B.

We went to 9Th grade open house last night. We managed to find all the classes without getting to lost. Her teachers seem pretty nice and all seem excited about what they are teaching.
