Vacation

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I am leaving on a

well-deserved vacation tomorrow morning. My two kids and I are going to

Florida where I hope my mother is going to take care of this very tired and

hurting mom. I think the dental surgeries have caught up with me and I am

totally exhausted.

Anyway, I will be gone from April 7-14. If any of you would like to contact

me, you can email me at magicrss@.... I will be checking email

daily, so please do not hesitate to write. I have a whole lot of praying

for some very sick kids on this list serve and I want to stay in touch.

On a good note, Max has achieved another milestone today! He has braces!!!

It is so cute to see him with this very grown-up stuff in his mouth. When

my daughter got braces, it just seemed like the natural thing to do. It was

expected and it was no big deal. With Max, however, things are such an

ordeal and so complicated, that I think my husband and I tend to forget

about the more normal parts of childhood. So now Max has the braces on his

top teeth (the bottom teeth will be done in a month), complete with red and

gold rubber bands. (In case you did not know, red is a MUST in his life.

He wears red every day, his room is painted red and even his Bar Mitzvah

invitations are red. Oh - and he insisted on cherry PhosFlur rinse because

it is....red!)

Have a good week everyone. I intend to do nothing but read, sleep, swim and

sunbathe. Man, I need this break. I just wish my husband could come, too.

But he has to work. Oh, I shed no tears for him. He travels almost every

week and goes to these wonderful conventions where they wine and dine him

and he has great concerts to go to. And a great big bed all to himself.

Now it is my turn.
