That's great! Im surprised, tho, that they didn't actually work that out beforehand.

No, they were all IDK until the last minute, and we told her friends is about the only criteria she shouldn't give weight to, because almost everybody changed friends when they go to high school, like as not she won't be in the same classes, and things like FB make it easy to keep in touch anyway. So her decision was made w/o that, it's just an added bonus to find that she's not the only one going to this school and not the only one opting out of their zoned school (this school is zoned for some).

Plus these are not her close buddies. Her close buddies are not currently at the same school as her but will be at her zoned school and on that swim team.

Funnily, one of he closest friends changed her mind again and is not going, but now that Hebe's happy with her choice, this is a non-issue

Just another example that raising toddlers takes more energy, but raising teens is harder.

You made me totally nostalgic for the NSFW song we used to sing on the way to school... (this was without parents in the vehicle, I should probably add.)

My cousin messaged last night to say that my auntie had had a heart attack. Luckily it seems that she's ok, has had a couple of stents put in and will be fine to go home soonish. There's a history of heart attacks in the family and this particular aunt is one who seems to carry everyone else's stress without ever fraying at the edges herself. Such relief that this doesn't seem to be long term serious.

21 Years ago, my son Liam was born. One of the happiest days of my life. Today I am happy he is away at college on his 21st BD.

'cause I went water aerobicizing this morning! Wonderful workout, and I love, love, LOVE my aqua jogger belt. My fave piece of exercise equipment next to the big ball. Combine it with my handy dandy ipod shuffle in the waterproof headphone set, a close by pool that costs $2 and voila! happy dorky water aerobics. I know it's for fat old grandmas, but I don't care.

I AM a fat old grandma!

my hip has been giving me fits. It's about to go out on me completely, so I'm doing the non-impact water stuff, and trying to lose weight. Also got me some Nordic walkng poles for extra stability, and taking tumeric capsules. This part does not make me happy, tho. A hip replacement would not be fun.

I loved aquaerobics (what it was called where I was) which was a proper class with warm-up and cool-down and everthing.
I didn't have all the spangly equipment, but belts and floats and tubes were provided as part of the class, as was the music.

But yes, I did it during the day (when I was signed off sick) so it was full of Grannies. Not that I judged - I was pretty much the fattest person there. But I did put in a huge amount of effort, and was teased gently by the leader for my bright red face.

Are you seeing a doctor, kiddo? I'm guessing extra calcium and fosomax would also be called for.
