Emily has had a very busy week. She started Pre-K, dancing and cheerleading. Being very busy makes Emily very cranky.

Renee seems to think that Emily will be a nurse when she grows up. Emily is always concerned about others. A kid cries, Emily is there.

I’ll let you in on a secret…. The reason that Emily is there when a kid cries, she caused it.

Not really.

Kind of.

Mr. Busby has had a eventful week. Karate, progress reports (all A’s) and fighting with his sister.

He came up with a pretty good joke this week:

Renee received a button from work which says “W.I.T.” – Whatever It Takes. Doodle said that it stands for “Witch in training”. Pretty good line for a six year old who is just starting to read, I think.

I’m going to go and wipe away the tears of pride now.

Won’t be moving…

I guess that I won’t be moving to California after all. Welcome to the sane world, California.

What strikes me in the article, it took two years to pass the law.

And people say that the South is messed up.

Took Doodle to Karate. Emily tagged along because Renee had to work late. Emily received a birthday package from Peetie in Arizona. One gift was a long sleeved sweatshirt with a matching skort. Although the temperature was is the mid-nineties, she insisted on wearing this outfit out of the house.

She is hard headed. Just like her mother.

Today 9/3/04 through 9/6/04

A quick recap of the long holiday weekend…

Friday

The three Henry’s (not to be confused with The Three Tenors) went to the Saints/Dolphins game while the Renee and Emily had a “Girls Night”.

Please let it be known that the first “boo” was recorded with 7:08 remaining in the first quater. The crowd is already in mid-season form.

Saturday

The family went eat at Applebees for lunch before Renee had to go to work.

After lunch, I brought Emily to buy new school shoes. Her school’s idea of fashion and Emily’s does not agree. Emily will not be allowed to wear her famous white high-heeled flip flops. I think that she’ll correct them on their oversight. My money is on her.

After shopping, we retired to my mom and dad’s house so that the kids could partake in the HOT TUB. Actually, Emily says that its HER hot tub. Emily is a very kind and generous person to let my parents have it at their house.

My Dad made me build stuff.

Sunday

Another trip to the HOT TUB while Renee was working.

More construction at the parents’ house.

Went home and watched the LSU (BOO!) and Tulane (YEAH!) football games on TV. LSU proved lucky once again. How can a kicker make a 44 yard field goal and miss three extra points?????

I smell payoff.

Monday

Back to the HOT TUB (see a pattern?). Followed by a rousing game of home run derby with Doodle.

Damn, the kids were tired and cranky.

Went back home and Emily fell asleep within five minutes.

Renee came home from work and I paid bills.

I also attempted to re-claim the songs that I deleted from my iPod. I don’t know how I did it. 5GB of information, poof. Prayers or sacrifices would be appreciated.

Best Wishes

I’m sure that you have all heard by now that former President Bill Clinton is in the hospital.

I hope that it is not serious and that he makes a speedy recovery. Seriously.

I’m sure that the nurses will take “extra special” care of him. Or is it that he will take “extra special” care with them?

Whichever.

Hornet Pride!!!!!!

In other New Orleans’ sports news……

Just in time for the sale of season tickets, Baron Davis (otherwise known as the Hornets best player) has indicated that he wants out.

All I can say to new Head Coach Byron Scott is welcome to New Orleans. I hope that you enjoy the food.

Hurry, go buy your season tickets.
