Tomorrow is my birthday and I get 3 kids plus whoever ends up here home from school!!! Thank goodness I love kids! Saturday we will head to the St Patty’s Day Parade in the French Quarter and hopefully not get beamed with a cabbage!

Yesterday’s paper had a comprehensive list of summer camps for the rugmonsters. If this area is like any I have lived in before, I better hurry up & rake out some cashola for the little yippers. The good camps usually fill up quickly!

What happened to your area from Katrina? Well, in Mandeville (where I now live), big trees fell on houses & water often destroyed the gaping holes. My house was fortunate as the trees never penetrated the roof or fell on someone else’s roof. Today I am having that last hazardous over 40 year old pine …

Took the kids, friends & their kids down to Canal & Bourbon street for 2 parades, We now offiicaly have every bead manufactured in the year 2007! And for those concerned about what the kids saw, only G-rated stuff. Really!!!! What the world thinks is soooooo wrong!
