Run like the wind!

I cannot get pictures to load because I loaded Easy Share on my Laptop and now I do not have pictures on my desktop, I don't know. It is annoying. So a short rundown on Daddy's Banquet. It was wonderful. The Air Force Pharmacists really did him proud and had he been there, he would have been so humbled. Complete with a tear jerking slideshow, and stories and stories and wonderful memories all of my dad. My was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award on my fathers behalf. And for those of you knew my father, you know that he so believed in young people and education. So the most moving part of the Banquet was the announcement of the fully funded self sustaining Jerry W. Ross Pharmacy scholarship. He would just beam over that. I was emotionally so draining and yet so terribly nice.

So off and running we are. My kids lose their ever loving minds when they are with their friends. And while I love that they have lots friends but I am soooo tired of them not listening to me. I do not let my kids run inside. And by inside I mean I do not let them run if there is a roof over their heads. And it does not matter why I do not let them run other than we have made several trips to the hospital and gotten stitches because we were screwing around in the house.

So anyhow, let me ask this, why in the Lord names and I do mean the Lord, would my kids think it is OK to run and yell in the church? Every Wednesday night after choir they take off running out of the class, down the stairs, and almost into the parking lot all the while I am behind them telling them to slow down and shut up. Then we get in the car they are so keyed up that they are crazy! Then I have to yell at them the entire way home.

This does not make for a nice evening. I hate it and it all starts with running.

In other news, I spent 4 hours today lecturing High School students about STD's. I have such a wonderful time spending time with these kids. And I dare say that they get a kick out of some woman coming in and talking frankly and honestly about sex. Such fun. I am so happy that I started in this and I am looking forward to meeting and talking with more kids.
