Kinda crazy that it has been two weeks since I last blogged. Amazing! I was taking a shower last night and realized that I had not thought of cancer ONCE the entire day. That is a first.
Football is over for Andrew and I am so pleased he had such a successful season. For someone who wasn't going to play to someone who played just about every down on both sides of the ball, I am so proud of his attitude-- he went into the season with no expectations of any playing time but believed in himself and ended up having a great time. I am very proud of him not for scoring touchdowns and making great passes, but for not giving up.
Andrew has also learned that he has been accepted at Grand Valley. We were looking over dorm options just to get a sense of what is out there. We are waiting mainly for Michigan State now--I am pretty confident he will get accepted at WMU and CMU so once we know all, we will do some visits. He thinks I want him to go to Michigan State--I do think it is a really neat campus--but want him to go where he wants. He keeps wondering where all his friends are going--I do not want him to make a decision based on that. Luckily, all four are decent teaching colleges.
I can't remember if I told you that I am scheduled to "build" my nipple on December 12. Dr. M still wants the tattooed area to "settle"--it looks settled to me--so we wait. I am also supposed to see Dr. Nancy soon--I probably should call.
How about those wonderful snowflakes last night? Andrew is already thinking snow days.
My Joshie had his first article published in the Niles Daily Star. He did a great job--he is my natural writer, where Andrew is creative as heck, but thinks commas are optional! Josh did such a good job and had so many compliments. He has decided he wants to be a journalist--will probably end up majoring in English just like I did. He loves to talk about theme and symbolism and all kind of literary things.
One last thing I must confess to ONCE AGAIN make you realize that you are not that big of an idiot. I, Molly Elizabeth Holdship Brawley have that covered. As you know, I had the fiasco with my electricity but have things completely under control, even paying bills EARLY. One really hectic morning the first week of October I knew I needed to get Andrew a class t-shirt but had no cash or checks in my purse so I quick grabbed a new set of checks from the stack and off I went. Paid for Andrew's shirt, a fundraiser for three different thing at NHS, Josh's lunches, y dental deductable, etc. RARELY do I write checks but wrote 12 from October 1 thru Oct 15. Oct 16 my dentist calls to tell me my checked bounced. NO WAY. I had lots of money in my checking account for once...I knew there had to be a bank error. I was armed with all my statements and my meanest voice ever when I called........
Yup, I had grabbed a check book that was from a closed account. ARGGGHHHHH!
Someday, I will have my act together. Just think, they put me in charge of YOUR CHILDREN!

I can sympathize (sp?) with you about your checking account fiasco. I got a letter from my life insurance co telling me that my check bounced. How can that be? There is money in the acct. and the online banking does not show that check every hitting the acct. Long story short - UFCU, my credit union merged 18 months ago with another cu from St. Joe, and I neglected to change the routing number on my online banking account. So the life insurance check was presented against a bank that no longer exists. To date, I have 2 checks that were refused payment, and 5 are out in limbo-land, and I am waiting to see if they hit my acct. yet. I did try to change the routing number, but keep getting an error message and additional online payments are not being sent due to the error messages. GRRRR - I love techology when it works, and am easily frustrated.
Squishy Booby Day is less than 36 hours away and counting :)
