Ha! But I know you're really enjoying it. 

Yes, you are right. How do you already know me? LOL

I find that an appropriate dose of Benadryl will settle them down for a good long while.  

Hope it gets better. You know he needs you!

Yes, you are so right. And I enjoy him (most of the time), too.

any of us for that matter..that energy level is hard to maintain, be sure you eat as well

For sure! If I eat as much as he eats, I should be as big as a house by next Tuesday! LOL He's great, though. We are having a pretty good time of it, bumps and all.

Keep on keepin' on dear Auntie!

Yes, I'm doing okay. We have our ups and downs, but only a couple of really yucky days so far. That's not bad at all. And how's you?

I'm glad to hear things have been mostly up!  I've been alright....started my summer class, enjoying summer vacation a little too much I think, but I'm doin alright.  Getting over bronchitis too.  I'm not sure I've ever been sick like that during the summer!

hope you're having a good time with him! Even though pre-teen boys are a handful

Yes, I truly do love him, and he has a quick wit. But when he starts re-telling his dad's jokes, I tell him that he gets the same reaction Dad gets after the 342nd time I've heard the joke. LOL

lol. boys are so great haha
