<br />
His first day of the 9th grade isn't until Wednesday, but every milestone urges me to remember the day his neurologist advised us to look into a group home, back when Curt was barely 2 1/2.<br />
<br />
I like to look back and laugh. Or at least cheer.<br />
<br />
But actually, this post isn't about Curt, although thinking about Curt going to high school certainly was the catalyst.<br />
<br />
This post is about two people I encountered in high school who shaped the course of my life.<br />
<br />
Every high school student should have some of those, one of those; I was lucky enough to have two. I had two in college, too, but that's a post for a different day.<br />
<br />
Mr. Caskie and Ms. Adams-Caskie weren't married when I first met them. In fact, their (perceived) secret romance was quite titillating to a high school student, when perhaps, in fact, it was only secret to us students, AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, and there was nothing actually as salacious or exciting as I imagined it in my 16-year-old brain. But that's really neither here nor there, what matters is that Mr. Caskie and Ms. Adams were my heroes.<br />
<br />
My junior year at Midlothian High School dawned and I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt I wanted to take Creative Writing as my elective. I'd taken Drama my freshman year (a total failure in my mind as I never quite fit in with the drama crowd, valuing my Outback Red layered henleys with coordinating layered socks over heavy black eyeliner and jeans held together with safety pins). I had to skip an elective my sophomore year, bucking for that advanced credit diploma, so I was chomping at the bit to sink my teeth into creative writing.<br />
<br />
I knew from Day 1 that's where I was meant to be, talent or no talent.<br />
<br />
Mr. Caskie, whether he saw talent or not, nurtured the enthusiasm I brought to the table. I asked to be editor of the Literary Magazine that year and somehow, I got the job. I remember pouring through short stories, poems, drawings and essays, penned on sheets of well-worn paper, spread out on the floor of my bedroom. I spent countless hours selecting which pieces would grace that year's magazine, maybe a little power hungry for a high school junior. I can still feel the weight of the selection of the paper for the cover, probably a 90 pound weight with a linen texture, in a lovely taupe shade that leaned toward pink. I know I have a copy somewhere; I should probably dig it up. Honestly, ,I can't remember much about what I actually wrote that year. Probably some angst-filled poems (by definition, all teenage poetry is angst-filled) and some short stories, heavy-handed on the forced symbolism. I do remember that Mr. Caskie was encouraging without being cloying; there were no medals for trying, he wanted you to produce something of quality.<br />
<br />
My senior year, I moved on to Journalism, with Ms. Adams-Caskie. If memory serves me correctly, Mr. Caskie married Ms. Adams the summer between my junior and senior years. It was a match made in heaven, or, at least, the hallways of Midlothian High School. Mr. Caskie sported a mop of unruly hair, spectacles that were always slipping down his nose and bore himself with the air of the absentminded professor. Ms. Adams was a hippy! She wore broomstick skirts and her hair, also an unruly mop of raven curls, were as untamed as her infectious, booming laugh and her easy smile. She had a been a reporter at the New Orleans Times-Picayune. As we say these days, she was legit.<br />
<br />
So I entered her classroom ready to take on the world. I ended up editor of the paper that year, too. I'm beginning to think no one else wanted those jobs. Ms. Adams-Caskie (it was hyphenated, because she was such a feminist; she was sooooo cool.) was our Don Quixote, tilting at windmills for the beleaguered student journalist. She allowed me to write a cover series on abortion, even though a fellow paper staffer disdainfully informed me that "so many" friends of our had already had abortions and it was such a nonfactor (I refuse to believe it, to this day). Once a month, we mimeographed that student newspaper (OK, not really, I drove it to a printer in downtown Richmond, accompanied by a floppy disk in case the printer needed backup from our hard copies) and I couldn't have been more proud of anything in my meager 17 years on earth. Ms. Adams-Caskie taught me to look for the truth, to be fair, to be balanced, and to never let The Man dictate the news. Ok, so she didn't call it "The Man" but I could just tell that I'd totally be best friends with her and Lois Lane if we were all older. (And real, but whatever).<br />
<br />
Long story short, Mr. Caskie and Ms. Adams-Caskie solidified a love of writing, a love of reporting and lifelong passion for storytelling in my fledging soul. Neither of them ever looked at me and said, "You can't do it" (like that English teacher in high school...but that's yet another post), instead, they showed me I could.<br />
<br />
And I did.<br />

<br />
It's been well over a year since I've written and that's neither here nor there. I had no plans for reviving this blog, but this post has been percolating in my thoughts for several weeks now. It had to be written, if only for me. In fact, entirely for me, although words fail to express how important Kelly Ryan Murphy is to me.<br />
<br />
Today is the <a href="http://www.dallasvoice.com/death-%E2%80%A2-08-15-14-10177979.html" target="_blank">first anniversary of Kelly's death</a>.<br />
<br />
In the journalism business, we're taught never to use euphemisms for death. He didn't "pass on," "go to the next life," "meet his maker" or "get his eternal reward." He died, plain and simple, but the pain of that is anything but.<br />
<br />
I met Kelly in 2006 (?), at a meeting for the new magazine I was editing in Beaumont, Texas. Rumor had it that a big-shot designer was joining our team, a designer who had serious street cred from his stint at D Magazine in Dallas, among other publications.<br />
<br />
With a tremendous roar, a motorcycle pulled up outside and a slight, wiry figure clad entirely in black leather dismounted the bike. When he pulled the helmet off, the first thing I noticed was the spiky, blond Mohawk.<br />
<br />
Kelly came in to the lunch meeting, his personality not as forceful as his persona. In fact, he was quiet. So quiet I spent most of my time trying to figure out what he was thinking. Did he think we were just a bunch of redneck yahoos? That he was coming to play with the field team after dominating the big leagues? That's what I was afraid of, but Kelly NEVER, EVER made anyone feel like that.<br />
<br />
Kelly made everyone feel special, like the most important person in the room.<br />
<br />
When I went to Kelly's memorial service last year, I was pretty sure I was THE MOST SPECIAL PERSON he'd ever worked with. <b>Ever</b>. Turns out, Kelly had a gift for making everyone feel that way, judging by the huge turnout of current and former colleagues, and the tributes they paid to him.<br />
<br />
Kelly was, and is, not only my professional muse and the love of my professional life, but a good friend as well.<br />
<br />
He had more creativity in the tips of his Mohawk than most people can even imagine possessing. He could see an image and transform it into something more brilliant, more defined, more meaningful. He could take a point-and-shoot camera into a department store for a product shot and create a photograph straight out of a gallery. (And did...frequently). He breathed life into the ordinary, making it extraordinary.<br />
<br />
Kelly wore a costume to work every Halloween. He had themed T-shirts for all the other holidays, including Earth Day ("I love boys who recycle.") He transformed his dingy cinderblock office space into something out of a design magazine and did the same thing with his house. He spent the days after Hurricane Rita cleaning up the yards of his elderly neighbors.<br />
<br />
He had a wicked giggle and a twinkle in his eye at all times. He loved his partner, Jim, and his cat, Tango. He talked about his family... a lot. He had a naughty Elf on the Shelf named Larry, who went on all adventures with Kelly and Jim. He craved alone time and would have been labeled an introvert, but sparkled whenever he was around people he was comfortable with.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://vimeo.com/105505308" target="_blank">Watching him work was a wonder.</a> He loved fonts and color and design and was good...no...great....no....what's better than great? at his job, his passion.<br />
<br />
When I met Kelly, he was just starting his journey into bodybuilding, encouraged and trained by , Jim. But he had a rebellious side. Jim keeps to a fastidious, clean diet and Kelly would like to have "meetings" at McDonald's so he could sneak a quarter pounder with cheese (and probably blame it on me and my kids!).<br />
<br />
With every issue of the magazine we produced, Kelly would hang the page proofs on his office wall so we could get a sense of the overall flow and design of the book. They were in militant rows, even spacing in between and never, <b>ever</b> out of order or askew. I liked to knock them sideways when he wasn't looking, just to see him get flustered when his pristine grid was a little helter skelter. At his memorial service, Jim told me his colleagues at Mary Kay, where he was working when he died, would do the same thing.<br />
<br />
I took my biggest professional risk with Kelly. I think we both almost got fired. I was called before the Big Boss first, Kelly waiting in the outer office to back me up, which he did without hesitation. <i>Cheetah dress.</i> That's all I have to say about that. I bought a pair of cheetah print flats (I don't do animal print) after that, in honor of what was simultaneously a horrifying and horrifically funny event.<br />
<br />
I moved away before Kelly left Beaumont and I cried at the thought of telling him that I was breaking up our team. I can't pretend we were in constant contact after that, but the interactions we did have were quality. He has always, and will always, hold a special place in my heart. That feels so trite to even write. A big part of me feels like I don't deserve to mourn Kelly the way I have. We didn't chat on the phone every week, we didn't meet up for lunches. But we did have our moments, lots of them, that didn't feel like they needed day-to-day upkeep.<br />
<br />
I ugly-cried all the way through <a href="https://vimeo.com/105555511" target="_blank">Kelly's memorial service</a>. I sat with a group of bikers Kelly had ridden with in the Dallas area. One of them kept handing me tissues because I forgot to bring my own.<br />
<br />
In journalism, we're taught not to use euphemisms for death, or anything related to death, but Kelly truly left the world a better place.<br />

And I'm OK with that. I write all day for a living and I often write when I come home at night, too. So I'm really not bothered by neglecting my blog for a long time. <i>A really long time. </i><br />
<br />
However, tonight I made something for dinner that was well received on Facebook, so instead of private messaging everyone who asked for the recipe, I figured I'd just blog it. <br />
<br />
It all started because I try to include the boys in meal planning. But this usually results in requests for tacos 17 nights a week. While I really like tacos and tried to introduce Curt and Luke to the wonders of fish tacos in fresh flour tortillas with a cabbage slaw, or spicy pulled pork tacos in a soft corn tortilla, they weren't buying it. They want ground beef, with orange seasoning, in a crunchy corn shell that stands up by itself. At least I finally convinced them that homemade taco seasoning was better than that orange stuff in the packet.<br />
<br />
But I digress. <i>Hey, I'm tired</i>. So we're planning meals for this week and they ask for breakfast for dinner. I wholeheartedly endorse this plan as I could eat breakfast for every meal forever. Curt wanted biscuits and gravy. Luke wanted scrambled eggs and bacon. I *could have made it all, I suppose (I feel like the breakfast short-order cook often enough on weekends), but like I said, I'm tired when I get home from work.<br />
<br />
AND I'd just seen a recipe on Pinterest I wanted to try.<br />
<br />
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole sounded equal parts intriguing and abhorrent. I'm not a fan of white gravy, even though Curt loves it. However, this recipe incorporated pretty much everything the boys had asked for. So we tried it.<br />
<br />
It's first recommendation was that it smelled <i>so good</i> baking. That's a huge recommendation as cooking is such a sensual experience. Not<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091635/"> 9 1/2 Weeks</a> sensual...well...I take that back, EXACTLY 9 1/2 Weeks sensual (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, Google it and I almost promise you the first scene you'll find on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> is the scene I'm referencing). My point, is, cooking, eating and food should engage ALL the senses, all the time. Whether in a family friendly manner or not.<br />
<br />
<i>I digressed again. </i><br />
<br />
So it smelled great cooking. It bubbled up beautifully and had a lustrous golden sheen to the top when I took it out of the oven.<br />
<br />
I'm lucky it lasted long enough to take a few quick pictures with my phone; the boys devoured it.<br />
<br />
It's not healthy. It contains processed foods. If you're one of those do-as-I-say-not-how-I-really-eat people, take a hike right now. What I tried to emphasize tonight to the boys was to take a smaller portion of the casserole and a HUGE portion of salad. They ate both their casserole AND their ginormous salads, then asked for more casserole. I gave in.<br />

I am so tired it's<i> not even funny.</i><br />
<br />
I'm not even tired for any good reason (bar the extreme vitamin
deficiencies I'm working hard to correct). It was a normal work day (not
even a death threat!!!), an organized <a href="http://www.cattlebaronsgala.net/">Cattle Baron's</a>
meeting, soccer practice, dinner (which I'd prepped last night and
thrown in the slow cooker this morning), and the usual evening routine
of checking homework, signing agendas, etc...<br />
<br />
The boys rallied. They'd completed their homework, folded their laundry
and brought in the trash can and mail by the time I got home. <i>Awesomeness.</i><br />
<br />
But I still lamented the lack of time and energy in the few minutes between arriving home and leaving for soccer practice.<br />
<br />
"I wish there were a few more hours in today," I said.<br />
<br />
<i>"Don't worry, Mom," Luke replied, "it'll all get done. As long as we have each other, it will all work out."</i><br />
<br />
Luke wins. <br />
<br />
I've got nothing. Except a better perspective on what I need to be doing after 5:30 p.m. <i>'Cause really, what else makes life worth living?</i>Amy Brocato Pearsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16981020918897189913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055116079519186313.post-37906659545582354602013-09-23T08:17:00.000-05:002013-09-23T08:17:00.516-05:00The Thing About HurricanesI couldn't sleep last night, so I was scrolling through old photo albums on Facebook. I came across "Hurricane Ike, September 2008" and realized it's been just over five years since that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ike">storm</a> cut its fierce swath from Africa, over Cuba and made a direct hit on the Texas Gulf Coast, where I was living at the time.<br />
<br />
Hurricanes are wicked and unpredictable. The only thing you can count on, for sure, is that when they strike, what you fear most will come to fruition.<br />
<br />
No matter how well you get ready for the storm, by battening down the proverbial hatches, boarding up your windows, stockpiling water and non-perishable foods, powering up your generator and finding what you think is a safe spot to ride out the storm, nothing ever prepares you for the <i>complete and utter devastation and destruction</i> that awaits when the winds have dulled from a roar to a whisper and you peer out into the first light.<br />
<br />
Like death and taxes, the only thing guaranteed is that your world will be turned upside down. <br />

The other night, I threw my son's
homework away.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Can you imagine him going to school
with that excuse? "I'm sorry, Mrs. H., my mom threw my homework
away."
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Yeah. Right.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But it's true. I did.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We were going through the seven folders
in his accordion file for each of his seven classes and separating
the papers that I needed to sign, or the ones that needed to be
returned to school, from the ones that had already been graded and
returned. Paper tends to accumulate quickly in his accordion file.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In my quest to keep him organized, I
fell quite short myself. I picked up the wrong stack of papers from
the table and tossed them into the kitchen trash can, a fact we did
not discover until after the remains of the tomato-based soup we had
for dinner were scraped out of bowls on top of the aforementioned
homework.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In years past, this would have caused a
meltdown of epic proportions. But in his newfound middle school
maturity, he simply got a dish towel, wiped chunks of tomato and
cannelloni beans off of the college-ruled notebook paper, and
recopied his work onto pristine paper.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We've worked so hard this year to get
him organized. Each folder in the accordion file is color coded to
correspond to a class. He carries his agenda with homework
assignments written out for each class period. His school supplies
are in a box in his backpack and workbooks and school papers are
filed into the accordion folder with their folders under individual
subjects. At home, there's a designated space to do homework. There's
a place to keep backpacks, school uniforms, school shoes and lunch
supplies. Today he gets assigned his locker at school so he doesn't
have to carry as much around with him.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now perhaps I need a better filing
system. Trashcan notwithstanding.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<br />
<br />
<i>Editor’s Note: This article was compiled by Cristin Reece of the Palestine Herald-Press in memory of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.<br /><br /><br />By staff of the Jacksonville Daily Progress and Palestine Herald Press</i><br />Most would agree — for better or worse, the events that occurred in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, irrevocably changed this country and its citizens’ lives.<br />The terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center buildings, damaged the Pentagon and killed 2,977 people —including more than 400 police officers and fire fighters. Many Americans can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing during that 102 minutes. Jacksonville Daily Progress current and former staff members remember the day with crystal clarity.<br />“Several things stand out in my memory when talk turns to ‘where were you on 9/11,’” JDP reporter Jo Anne Embleton said. “Driving the few miles from my house to the Catholic Chancery in Tyler, where I worked as a reporter for Catholic East Texas, I was amazed at how gorgeous the day was turning out to be, and it was only 8 a.m. The skies were a beautiful shade of blue, the air wasn’t quite crisp, but definitely cooler than the summer heat we were accustomed to. I actually debated calling my boss to let him know I was taking a last-minute vacation day … then my cellphone rang.<br />“And before I could answer “hello,” my husband urged me to turn on the radio, because “World War III just started.<br />“The drive from our apartment to the chancery was less than 10 minutes, and it was surreal hearing the reports of a plane flying into the Twin Towers in NYC,” Embleton continued. “I remember reading about how, when “War of the Worlds” first aired on the radio, the programmers continually reminded people that it was a fictional story — that the world really wasn’t under attack by aliens from outer space. I think a part of me was seriously hoping that the reports were something similar, but the look on my editor’s face when I went into his office only confirmed the horrible reality of what had just happened.<br />“About an hour later, one of the secretaries came around to each of the offices to say the school’s superintendent, Deacon Vic Bonnaffee, was leading a prayer service in our chapel at 10 a.m. for the victims of that tragedy. I remember being grateful that Vic acted so quickly, because it gave us great comfort knowing that in our own little way, our little staff in East Texas were joined in solidarity with the rest of the country as we remembered those killed in that attack.”<br />Daily Progress Editor Amy Brocato Pearson was the Features Editor at the Beaumont Enterprise at the time, and — besides the news aspect of the day, has another, more personal reason she remembers so many details of the day.<br />“I was on my way into work on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when I heard the news on the radio,” she remembers. “The first of the planes had struck the World Trade Center. I was usually one of the first people to work in the newsroom each morning. Sure enough, when I walked in, only the business editor and I were there. He already had the television on and was tuned into the devastation playing out right in front of us.<br />“We watched in silent disbelief as the second plane crash into the iconic tower. My brain was going in a million different directions at once. How did this impact Beaumont, Texas? Was this an accident? My friend, Lisa, worked in World Trade 7, was she OK? (Her office was destroyed that day, but she’d stopped to vote on the way to work that morning and was not at her desk at her usual time. It saved her.)<br />“I grabbed a reporter’s notebook and decided to run over to the Federal Building, just a few blocks away.<br />“Now when I say “run,” I was about six months pregnant at the time with my first child,” she said. “I can tell you what I was wearing that day— a periwinkle maternity shirt, a black skirt and the most comfortable sandals I owned. Not easy to run in, let me tell you. Clutching belly in one hand, cell phone, pen and notebook in the other, I wobbled over to the Federal Building and ran up the marble steps. I zipped through the double doors and cleared security just as the announcement came over the loudspeaker that the building was locking down. Security guards rushed into action, barring the doors. I did a few interviews with officials too discombobulated to talk before the building was completely evacuated as a precaution.<br />“By the time I got back to the newsroom, the Pentagon had been hit and the last plane had crashed in a Pennsylvania field.<br />“My son likes to hear the story of how he was “in my belly” on 9/11. It was only in the aftermath of the attacks that it occurred to me to think, “What kind of a world am I bringing a child into?” The child who was “in my belly” on Sept. 11, 2001, is about to turn 12. He’s mildly autistic and went through a phase where he was fascinated with everything 9/11. He’ll recite facts and tell me about things he’s read and I sometimes remind him that I watched it all unfold, albeit from news wire service reports.<br />“I really don’t remember many more details after the sharp clarity of the morning, but I do know we were operating on pure adrenaline. Even though the events of the day were happening thousands of miles away, the impact of those planes changed the lives of everyone in our coverage area forever.”<br />That’s the part of 9/11 that stuck with former JDP Assistant Editor Cristin Reece, now a news writer for the Palestine Herald Press.<br />“We were just ready to put that day’s Progress to bed — I mean, literally, finishing up the last page of the day’s paper,” she said. “I remember exactly where I was standing, right next to the printer waiting on proofs to print so we could make the last edits and corrections when my fellow reporter, Stephanie Little, blurted out ‘omigosh!” I looked up at the newsroom’s TV just in time to see the second plane hit the building. For one single instant, it seemed, everything and everyone just stopped. I don’t think the phones even rang in that one moment.<br />“And then we redid the front page,” Reece said with a laugh. “The way our deadline fell at the time, we were an afternoon paper — I think probably lots of local, small papers were — and it just so happened the JDP was one of the few newspapers of the day that actually had coverage of 9/11 on the front page that day. Lots of the big papers that come out in the mornings and the afternoons had it in their second run, of course, but we were one of the first with front page coverage. I was a brand new reporter, so I was a little impressed at that.<br />“It also made me realize the very scope of my job was changing right before my eyes,” Reece continued. “The world became much, much smaller that day, at least as far as the newsroom was concerned. That day, a cub reporter in Jacksonville, Texas, was scrambling to cover an event that didn’t even occur in the same time zone. Rather than just bringing readers the story of what happened — which we certainly did, thanks to the Associated Press and our sister papers — we also covered the impact those events had on our hometown. It really underlined that invisible link we all have with one another, no matter how far away we might be from each other.”<br />The day is now observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance (previously Patriot Day). Initially, the day was called the Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. When the new name was proposed, it received opposition from Massachusetts, which already had a Patriots' Day.<br />On this day, federal officials request the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual American homes, at the White House, and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments, home and abroad. The President also asks Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.<br />

<br />
A few of you know how much I stressed out about the sixth grade. Sixth grade owns a third of my gray hairs, along with the Curt-grays and the Constant Deadline-grays. <i>(Luke gets one or two...when he does things like speculate on whether or not he can hit the pool jumping from the second floor balcony of his dad's house.)</i><br />
<br />
Sixth grade started giving me gray hair more than a year ago. I didn't have any kind of peace about where Curt should go to school.<br />
<br />
We visited the magnet program at one local middle school. It's a great program, but there were just...seething masses of sixth graders everywhere...it didn't feel right. Curt was only mildly enthused. We visited the campus we're zoned to attend. That DEFINITELY did not feel right. It's not a bad school and I'd trust both of those amazing counselors there with my son's life, but I knew that campus was not the right fit for him. Private schools were out too. In addition to being cost prohibitive (although I'd have made it work if I felt that was the RIGHT place for him), private schools are not required by law to accommodate his special needs. One even told me, flat out, they would not work with him (<i>and I dare most people to even IDENTIFY his 'special need,' let alone refuse to "work with him."</i>)<br />
<br />
I prayed. A lot. I prayed for peace. I prayed for the right place for him.<br />
<br />
God answers prayers.<br />
<br />
We visited <a href="http://ms.cumberlandacademy.com/">Cumberland Academy</a>. As soon as we walked it, I knew it was "right." When we left, I had that peace. Not to mention, Curt LOVED it. A charter school with a brand-spanking-new middle school program, we had to apply through a lottery to get in. I'd been assured that it "wouldn't be a problem" for any of the new sixth or seventh graders to get a slot, but I worried anyway. <i>Because that's what I do.</i> And I prayed.<br />
<br />
Curt got a slot in the sixth grade class. We went to the first parent information meeting. The principal announced that there was an extended school day for extra learning. Curt, who has no verbal filter or voice modulator, cried out, "SCORE," to the amusement of the faculty and staff and the chagrin of his new classmates. THEN she announced there would be DOUBLE math periods each day. Curt's response? "DOUBLE SCORE!" One kid nearby rolled his eyes, but Curt was in HEAVEN. The icing on the cake? The cherry on the sundae? "Each student will receive an iPad for their schoolwork."<br />
<br />
"TRIPLE SCORE! THIS SCHOOL ROCKS." I think the entire assembly erupted into laughter.<br />
<br />
I still worried all summer. We amassed uniforms and school supplies <i>(enough to pay for at least a semester of college!)</i>. I worried. I worried he wouldn't stay organized. I worried he wouldn't make friends. I worried he wouldn't make it between classes on time, would trip and fall down the stairs or would fixate on the <a href="http://allireallyneedtoknow2.blogspot.com/2012/02/greatest-elevator-adventure-ever.html">elevator</a> and never make it to homeroom.<br />
<br />
Then I found out one of his teachers was a calm, cool, collected, kind, PATIENT and warm friend from my Sunday School class. Yet another was a vivacious, positive, upbeat, sharp, funny, PATIENT friend of mine, his dad's and his step-mom's. Peace started to settle in. <br />
<br />
So it's week three and so far, so good. No, so <b>great.</b><br />
<br />
Ok, so he did have lunch detention the third day of school, but his teacher was right to nip his excessive talking in the bud (I did mention he has little impulse control, right?). And she handled it SO WELL that he didn't even spiral into the dark realms of "I'm so dumb" that he's prone to. <br />
<br />
We've had some organizational difficulties, but so has every sixth grader I've heard of so far. It's a learning curve. A steep learning curve.<br />
<br />
<i>And so far, he's handled it like a champ.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Did I mention God answers prayers?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>

Dear Luke,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You turned 10 approximately 2 minutes
ago (yes, the time is VERY important in our family) and I can't
believe how time has flown over the past decade. I know it's cliche
to say that, but I don't know a parent who wouldn't agree the same
phenomenon takes place in their lives. How on earth did you reach
double digits already?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I remember the weeks leading up to your
birth. We knew you were a boy and we knew I would deliver you by
scheduled c-section, so our doctor asked whether we wanted to have
you before September 1, so you'd start school earlier, or after that
date, so you'd get an extra year to mature and develop. We chose to
wait and we scheduled your birth for Sept. 4.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Also in those weeks, we found out you
were breech, that is, turned head up. With as big as the doctor
thought you were and as short-waisted as I am, the doctor thought
you'd be stuck in that position for the birth. He scheduled a
sonogram for the Monday before you were born (you were born on a
Thursday). Sure enough, you had your head firmly planted between my
ribs and I'm pretty sure you were stretching by pushing between the
bones of my pelvis and my ribs. It hurt!!! The day or two before your
scheduled birthday, you turned. Trust me, I felt it. When we went in
to deliver you, I told the doctor you were not in breech position any
longer. "Impossible," he said. "There was no room for
him to turn." I insisted you had. Sure enough, when you were
delivered, you presented head down. You were a rule-follower from the
get-go.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When you were born, I expected a
dark-haired baby with an olive complexion, just like your older
brother. You surprised me with your blond hair and fair skin, which
was scratched from your very, very long fingernails (to this day we
have to cut your nails at least once every three to four days). My
friend Allison trimmed your nails for me the first night of your
life. You had/have! the most marvelous freckles.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You never slept. You never stopped
eating. I could never put you down. And how we cuddled and bonded and
loved those first months. It was almost like I never gave birth, we
were still so attached to each other.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I'm embarrassing you, I know, so I'll
wrap this up.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In 10 years, I've watched you turn into
a strong, smart, kind boy. I thank God for you daily. You are a
natural leader and can organize and motivate a group of people like
I've seen in very few people your age. You have such a big heart,
organizing the fundraiser for the people in Japan after the tsunami
and always, always befriending the kid standing alone on the
playground. Your imagination is magnificent and I love how you can
turn any object into a toy. I can watch the wheels of your mind
turning when you're playing with a stick, a paperclip and a Matchbox
car quietly on the kitchen table. I'm proud of how hard you play
soccer and how good you've gotten, Luke. You have such natural
ability but, more importantly, you've developed amazing
sportsmanship. It makes me proud to see you're always the first to
offer help, or take a knee, when one of your teammates gets hurt
during play. You've got it interesting, Luke, having a brother with
special needs. I know you don't see him that way, you just see Curt,
and I know God blessed me with a son whose heart and mind is bigger
than any diagnosis. I love you, sweet boy, and may the next several
decades be as blessed as the first.

<br />
No, it wasn't MY near-death experience, but when one of your BFF's (and I don't mean BFF in text speak, slang or modern-lingo) I mean "BFF" like this-woman-is-part-of-my-heart, has a massive heart attack at age 42, it brings things into focus.<br />
<br />
I haven't written anything in over a month. Because life was been happening at warp-speed. <br />
But the heart attack slowed everything down (everything but work, which is an entirely different story). And brought things into focus.<br />
<br />
It was a Thursday afternoon, just like any Thursday afternoon. It was going to be Girl's Night Out, as all Thursdays were. A little sushi, a little live music, maybe some Mac-N-Cheese at our favorite place, <a href="http://www.corktyler.com/">Cork</a>. Then I get the call from L, who asked, in panicked voice, "Have you heard from K?"<br />
<br />
I hadn't.<br />
<br />
All L could make out was "ETMC" and K's daughter's name. A check of the day care confirmed little K was still at her after school program. So it had to be big K at ETMC.<br />
<br />
There's never a better plan executed then when three best friends put things into action.<br />
<br />
L went to the hospital. I met L at the hospital to pick up her baby. C picked up little K at daycare and I met them at church to take possession of both little girls for the night.<br />
<br />
We didn't know until about 2 hours later than K had a massive heart attack while she was driving between work and the daycare. Luckily, thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, she was near ETMC at the time and turned in to the parking lot, and was immediately helped by medics on a nearby ambulance, the parking lot attendant and the amazing staff in the ER.<br />
<br />
Life started playing in slow motion that night. I had baby S and little K at my house. Somewhere, through the fog, I realized I didn't have any extra diapers. Soooooo....<i><b>someone </b></i>offered to go get them for me (no, didn't "offer," per se, told me he was taking care of it for me), left his house, bought the diapers and dropped them off. <i>Is it cliche to say, "He had me at <b>'diapers?'</b></i><br />
<br />
K recovered. She IS recovering. It will be a lifelong journey now. At age 42. Two years older than me.<br />
<br />
She said that she doesn't remember much about arriving at the hospital. She says she remembers screaming, "I can't die. I have a 6-year-old."<br />
<br />
She had 99 percent blockage in an artery. She now has two stents. She regaining strength and vitality day by day, because that's what you do when you're mega-strong like her.<br />
<br />
I had to think about things. Things that were happening in my life. Amazingly. Beautifully. <br />
<br />
The week before this happened, my silly Sunday school teacher had talked about "trusting."<br />
<br />
"We trust God in work, our finances, our children, our homes, our bills and everything but our relationships," she said. "We try to control those but we have to....trust...abide...."<br />
<br />
Now because I'm the type to always do what the teacher says, I listened. And gave it up. And that's when the diapers happened. It's all her fault. That's all I'm sayin.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a beautiful day to shop for flowers and support the city of Tyler.<br />
<br />
In addition to our purchases that day, kids were able to plant their OWN seedling tree, courtesy of the city.<br />

The boys planted little <a href="http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/ornamentals/natives/prunusmexicana.htm">Mexican plum</a> trees in what seemed like a VERY BIG bucket for such a small plant.<br />
<br />
Our instructions were to leave it in the pot until January <b>2013, </b>a really, really, really, really, really, really long time.<br />
<br />
So we did, watering and feeding as necessary. They grew about two feet each, and started to sprout pretty green leaves.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, we planted them in the front yard (yes, I know it's MARCH, I was waiting until, uh, the ground was softer. Or something like that).<br />

I'm going to blame the fact that it was summer and the clothes are smaller. And that he didn't need two bath towels, a rain jacket and fleece pajama pants on vacation at the <a href="http://www.sandbridgebeachva.com/">beach.</a><br />
<br />
Scary thing is, I haven't even packed the three pairs of pants, three shirts and a jacket that the checklist calls for yet.<br />
<br />
And while we're talking about camp, <i>I will readily admit I'm not liking the idea very much</i>.<br />
<br />
I mean, it's a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for Curt and he's going to love it. The <a href="http://tylerisd.org/" target="_blank">entire fifth grade</a> gets to go to the <a href="http://camptyler.org/" target="_blank">Camp Tyler Outdoor School</a> for three days this time of year. Don't worry - they go by classes. The camp isn't overrun with a thousand stinky, hormonal fifth graders at the same time (bless their hearts). <br />
<br />
Curt's class goes Wednesday and comes back Friday. Two nights and three days.<br />
<br />
Two VERY LONG nights and three days, I might add.<br />
<br />
He's going to love it.<br />
<br />

<br />
And feeling lazy.<br />
<br />
And I'll be honest: I don't want to get up and iron. Or vacuum. Both of those things have to be accomplished before my head hits the pillow tonight.<br />
<br />
So I was just sitting here thinking about the week - how busy - and how GREAT - it was.<br />
<br />
It started last Sunday, with a baby shower for a <i>very special friend</i>.<br />
<br />

I get to be there when baby Stella is born. I've never gotten to see a baby born (my own do not count) and I've always wanted to. It's on my bucket list. And the fact that this baby's mama is <i>very special </i>to me makes it all the better. I can't wait! I'm so excited. I've offered to take all the middle of the night feedings. <i>Oh wait...</i><br />

I took Monday off. The boys had the day off of school *AND* it was Curt's birthday. WIN/WIN. We didn't do a whole lot (<i>my idea of going to Tyler State Park to hike the bike trails and grill a picnic lunch was immediately shot down after the Birthday Boy received a certain electronic he was blown away by) </i>but we still had a great day. Where, oh where, did 11 years go?<br />

Then we got our new couch for the freshly dubbed "Family Room." I love that they call it that. It's where we go after dinner to read (and use electronics). But point being, we all pile onto the couch. <b>Together. </b><br />

Tuesday and Wednesday passed in the usual flurry of work deadlines, a few extra special sections and karate.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, the school nurse called, just as I'd gotten settled into my desk, some 24 miles away from school.<br />

Thank you to the Brookshire's pharmacist who suggested the allergy meds on Day 2 of the Crud. We didn't even need the cough medicine, which I'm leery of to begin with. Curt is feeling much, much, MUCH better and he doesn't sound like we need to check him into the first sanitorium we encounter. <br />
<br />
Saturday was <b><span style="color: #741b47;">GIRL POWER. </span></b><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;">Our second event of the year, Girl Power promotes positive self-esteem, a healthy lifestyle, leadership and volunteerism among 6th grade girls in Smith County. Let me just tell you: 6th grade girls squeal. <b>A. LOT. </b>But I'm glad they had plenty to squeal about. Kids in the Kitchen facilitated the morning's festivities. The girls talked about topics from exercise to puberty to acne and nutrition, made healthy snacks, did zumba and yoga and squealed. <b>A. LOT. </b>The highlight of the event is always The Meg Show. Thank God for women like Meghan Goade, the middle school girls' minister at Green Acres Baptist Church. The girls. LOVE. HER. <b><i>Hey girl. </i></b></span></span><br />

<br />
Because<a href="http://www.allireallyneedtoknow2.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-news-business-is-like-box-of.html" target="_blank"> Charlie Boothe</a> has made me angry.<br />
<br />
Not only because he lied to us for his own pathetic gain, but because he put me, and all my co-workers, in danger. When he gets out of jail, he'll probably do it again somewhere else.<br />
<br />
And I'm angry that I felt BAD for calling the police on this pathetic excuse for an individual, hoping he'd get to sleep off his stinking, ranting, threatening drunk in the Jacksonville jail, and if he was really lucky, get a psych eval and a three-day stay in Behavioral Health in Tyler. The JPD explained that because he was not a danger to himself, he didn't qualify for a psych eval, but he'd be released from jail the next morning, when he was sober.<br />
<br />
BUT THEN they found out about his violent past. And arrests for violent crimes in at least six other states.<br />
<br />
We did our due diligence with the story. Newspapers don't typically run background checks on everyone they write about. He was known to the local Marine Corps League Det. 1381 (who were trying to help him get housing at the local Travis Towers). The certification papers for his dog were legitimate. There was no way of knowing that they didn't actually belong to this dog and the papers were stolen. And sometimes, you just WANT TO TAKE PEOPLE AT THEIR WORD. We get lambasted regularly for running what the public perceives as "negative" news, so when a feel-good story comes along, we tend to jump on it. Not all of us are cynical and jaded, although I feel that way today (the Lance Armstrong confession isn't helping my cynicism).<br />
<br />
I didn't write the follow up article, after Mr. Boothe's arrest. At that point, I was PART of the story, and as I'm sure you can tell from above, not fair and impartial in the least.<br />
<br />
You see, because when he came back to our offices Friday, he only wanted to talk to me. I was called back from lunch out with a friend and I NEVER, EVER leave for lunch (so it was a special treat). And I sat out in front of the building (after he'd been kicked out of the lobby for vulgar and abusive language) listening to his lies, which included being sent to Vietnam when he was 14 years old. "I was a baby killing babies," he said, with tears streaming down his face. He said he was a platoon mate of guitarist Carlos Santana (turns out he may or may not have a second dog named Carlos Santana). He said his job in the military was highly classified. He said he had previously threatened to blow up the White House, which is why the CIA had been looking for him. Then he started talking about his love of the AK-47. This is when I texted the co-worker to call the police. But the whole time, we all felt bad for this man, who clearly, lies or not, has emotional and mental problems. We felt bad his dog was taken away again. We felt bad that somehow, somewhere, a system has let him down.<br />
<br />
But he lied. He had a calculated plan to extract money and sympathy from the community.<br />
<br />
And THAT makes me angry. <br />

<br />
What started out as a "feel-good" story about a homeless man who lost,
then recovered, his service dog with the help of Jacksonville's good
Samaritans last week has turned out to be a hoax.<br /><br />
Charles Lee Boothe, 54, is described by Jacksonville police as a
"drifter-grifter" with multiple violence-related convictions in seven
states.<br /><br />
Authorities believe he lied to a Jacksonville Daily Progress reporter,
claiming he had lost what he claimed was a “service animal.” By getting
the reporter to write about the alleged incident, Boothe was hoping to
receive resources and money from sympathetic area residents, police
believe.<br /><br />
But something was very wrong with Boothe on Friday. He showed up at the
offices of the newspaper, drunk and muttering conspiracy theories along
with angry expletives. In the process, he troubled nearly every member
of the newspaper staff.<br /><br />
"If he hadn't come back into our offices in the throes of a meltdown,
we might not have ever known that something was wrong, very wrong, with
his version of events," Editor Amy Brocato Pearson said. "I feel bad for
all the people who tried to help him."<br /><br />
After the staff tried to talk to Boothe several times, Pearson determined that police should be called.<br /><br />
After Boothe was arrested on a charge of public intoxication, officers
searched his belongings and found a stolen birth certificate – the theft
of which is punishable as a state jail felony – and also determined
paperwork Boothe showed the reporter when claiming his black-mouth cur
Fuzzy as a service dog was legitimate, but actually belonged to someone
else.<br /><br />
Police have taken Fuzzy to the city pound, where authorities will determine to whom he will be released.<br /><br />
Also, Jacksonville Daily Progress officials have filed a charge of criminal trespassing, a Class B Misdemeanor, against Boothe.<br /><br />
"It appears he is going to be in jail for awhile," Jacksonville Police Sgt. Jason Price said.<br /><br />
During the newspaper visit that led to his incarceration, Boothe
disclosed that a reporter with a Tyler newspaper had upset him. But Sgt.
Price said it's a fair bet Booth actually was angry because he knew he
was attracting too much attention to his scam. During his ill-fated
visit, Boothe claimed that the CIA could now pinpoint his location
because of details disclosed in news articles, and that he was a target
of the CIA because he had previously threatened to blow up the White
House.<br /><br />
While interviewing with the Progress, Boothe claimed he was a veteran
of the United States Marines – going so far as to allege he lied his way
into the service at age 14. However, a Social Security number check by
the Marine Corps League Det. 1381 could not locate a service record for
Boothe whatsoever.<br /><br />
Following is the sequence of events:<br /><br />
• Boothe approached the paper about the allegedly missing animal on Monday;<br /><br />
• The first story ran on Tuesday.<br /><br />
• Fuzzy was found Tuesday afternoon.<br /><br />
• The second story ran on Wednesday.<br /><br />
• The final, ill-fated, visit to the newspaper took place Friday.<br /><br />
What is bothersome to Pearson is how many good-hearted members of the
community became involved in this search. During the search for Fuzzy,
the Daily Progress received numerous phone calls with Fuzzy sightings
Tuesday morning. One resident apparently found Fuzzy and brought her to
the Klein Animal Shelter. Another woman, who was physically unable to
assist in the search, offered funding to put up 'lost dog' flyers in the
area. When she learned Fuzzy was returned to Boothe, she said she would
just buy dog food and drop it off near the location where Booth was
living. Even on the day Fuzzy was returned, a customer who had stopped
by the Jacksonville Daily Progress offices during Boothe's and Fuzzy's
visit handed him a folded $20 bill.<br /><br />
"God bless," Boothe told her.<br /><br />
The "missing dog" scam is one Boothe had tried at least once before.
According to information recovered by Jacksonville Police, Boothe
circulated "lost dog" flyers in Palestine as well as penning a letter to
the editor of the Palestine Herald Press.<br /><br />
In the flyers, Boothe referred to a missing service animal who answered only to "Lil Brother" or "Hey Stupid."<br /><br />
"Please return him," Boothe wrote in the Palestine newspaper. "I just want my baby back."<br /><br />
That was the exact same phrase he used with the Jacksonville paper.<br /><br />
The details were slightly different from the Jacksonville case, but for
the most part it was the same basic scam, police believe.<br /><br />
Officers initially had just planned to take Boothe into custody
overnight because he was drunk, but that changed after they discovered
the stolen birth certificate,<br /><br />
Officers looked into his background and discovered his extensive
criminal record, which ranges from aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon in Texas; to disorderly conduct in Florida; robbery and burglary
out of California; and further charges in New Hampshire, Georgia, and
Tennessee.<br /><br />
He had been living behind a local florist shop near Highway 79. In
addition to Fuzzy, he also cared for a small black dog. That other dog's
status was not immediately available Monday.<br /><br />
Ultimately, when Boothe gets out of jail, authorities hope he drifts on to another area.<br /><br />
Editor Pearson said she refuses to allow this incident to blind her to the mission of the newspaper.<br /><br />
"They say 'no good deed goes unpunished' and this could very well fall
under that category," Pearson said. "However, just because Mr. Boothe
fooled us into believing his trumped-up tale doesn't mean we still won't
rally behind residents of Cherokee County who have a compelling story
or who need the community's help in the future.<br /><br />
"As a newspaper, we did our due diligence in confirming as much of Mr. Boothe's story as we were able to at the time."Amy Brocato Pearsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16981020918897189913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055116079519186313.post-81134657436776294142013-01-13T13:11:00.000-06:002013-01-13T13:11:43.049-06:00Hello...Puberty???I knew it was coming.<br />
<br />
But no matter how much I told myself it was coming, I wasn't ready.<br />
<br />
I had a pretty good inkling after the <b>Great Car Line Incident of 2012. </b>You see, Curt was too embarrassed to get out of the BACK SEAT of the car in the drop off line one morning at school. Apparently only BABIES ride in the back seat. <b>So he refused. to. get. out. of. the. car.</b> He was too EMBARRASSED. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess what is even MORE EMBARRASSING than riding in the back seat? </span></div>
<br />
When MOM gets out of the car and opens your door for you, in the drop off line at school.<br />
<br />
Lesson learned. <br />
<br />
Oh there were tears (<i>because it's embarrassing to ride in the back seat of the car, but not to walk into school crying???</i>) and I pretty much felt like <b>mom-crap</b> all day, but the sheer ridiculousness of his blatant refusal to get out of the car exasperated me beyond belief.<br />
<br />
So I had a pretty good idea that <b>embarrassment </b>+ <i>tears</i> = <i><b>hormones and puberty</b></i>.<br />
<br />
<i>Ack. I said the "p" word.</i><br />
<br />
Fast forward to last night.<br />
<i> </i><br />
The boys were sitting on the sofa, happily eating a small dish of ice cream for dessert after dinner.<br />
<br />
The next door neighbor boy knocked on the door to see the boys.<br />
<br />
Curt FLIES into the kitchen, tears streaming down his face, moaning, "Why did you give me that bowl? Why did you give me that bowl?"<br />
<br />
I had NO. IDEA. what he was talking about, until he practically threw his bowl of ice cream into the sink.<br />
<br />
"It's a BABY BOWL," he cried.<br />
<br />
<i>Sigh.</i><br />
<br />
Alas, it was. Probably bought at Target in the dollar bin for a Valentine's Day in a year when he didn't think that cutesy bowls were BABY. It still hangs around because it's a good portion size for a single scoop of ice cream, and the like.<br />
<br />
And he was SO EMBARRASSED to be caught eating from a BABY BOWL in front of a buddy. <br />
<br />
Lesson learned.<br />
<br />
Hello, Puberty. I hope we make it.<br />

<br />
There is no "average" day in the news business. I was telling someone yesterday that my morning was going well so far, but you never know what kind of turn it could take thoughout the day. It was raining, so the probability of traffic accidents was high. It was a Monday, so there might have been murders over the weekend that we hadn't heard about until the cops reporter made his rounds. We did hear about a tragic suicide, but we don't report on those.<br />
<br />
No, yesterday's news took the kind of serendipitous turn that makes building a front page fun in a man-loses-dog kind of way.<br />
<br />
At first blush, a man losing a dog doesn't sound like a happy-happy-joy-joy kind of story. But this one was.<br />
<br />
A man came in off the street. Literally. He lives in a horse trailer behind a floral shop down the street from the paper. He had his back pack and his winter hat and a special service dog vest. That no dog was wearing. His service dog, Fluffy, had been missing since Saturday. Mr. Booth, a homeless veteran, was beside himself. His "baby," as he called her, helped him with physical and mental issues he didn't like to talk about. In his extensive lamentations, all he wanted was his dog back.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">
</span><span style="color: #0b5394;">JACKSONVILLE —
A self-described homeless Jacksonville veteran is anxiously awaiting the return of his missing service dog, Fuzzy.<br /><br />
Fuzzy, a black-mouth cur, has been missing since early Saturday afternoon, said her owner, Charlie Booth.<br /><br />
The 1-year-old, golden-colored dog stands about a foot-and-a-half high and has a black spot on her tongue, Booth said.<br /><br />
Booth, who lives behind Cindy's Floral, has had Fuzzy for about nine
months. He trained her himself and she's certified as a service animal
through Gold Star German Shepherds: All Breed Dog Training & Service
Dogs, a company out of Nevada. According to the Americans With
Disabilities Act, service dogs are not required to have a federal
certification, although state requirements vary from place to place. In
Texas, assistance animals must be trained by "organizations generally
recognized as reputable and competent by agencies involved in
rehabilitation of people with disabilities." Booth has all papers
regarding Fuzzy's certification and had just received her vest,
designating her as an assistance dog, in the mail on Monday.<br /><br />
"She's my baby, I just want her back," Booth said. "People know me and Fuzzy are together. We go together."<br /><br />
Booth, who suffers from what he describes as partial paralyzation and
equilibrium problems, among other things, said Fuzzy helps him get up
and down and helps him maintain his balance. On his "lazy days," when
standing is too difficult, "she lays in the driveway by me and watches
the world go by," he said.<br /><br />
"She helps me mentally and emotionally and physically," he said. She
helps him so much, in fact, that the first thing Booth does when he
receives his disability check is buy Fuzzy a steak.<br /><br />
Booth has visited the police and the animal shelter in Jacksonville
looking for Fuzzy, but doesn't have the financial resources or
transportation to launch a larger-scale effort to find his beloved dog.<br /><br />
Booth, who doesn't like to talk about his service in the military, has
also sought aid from the local Marine Corps League Det. 1381, confirmed
Commandant Chuck Bones.<br /><br />
"Just bring her back," he pleaded. "I don't want to meet you, I don't want to see you, I just want my dog."<br /><br />
If you find Fuzzy, please return her to Booth in the area behind
Cindy's Floral on East Rusk Street or call the Jacksonville Daily
Progress at 903-586-2236.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Fast forward to this morning: calls came in with alleged Fuzzy sightings. At lunch time, I went out to investigate. In the rain and fog we drove around Jacksonville, slowly driving down the streets where Fuzzy was supposedly seen.<br />
<br />
No luck.<br />
<br />
We finally stopped by the animal shelter.<br />
<br />
"Oh, Mr. Charlie? He's got his dog back," the official there was happy to tell us.<br />
<br />
I decided to pay Mr. Booth a visit. Sadly, he wasn't there. I came back to the office, beating the heaviest rain storm of the day by a mere matter of minutes.<br />
<br />
Moments later, I was paged over the interoffice intercom to come to the front lobby.<br />
<br />
I went up front and there was Mr. Booth. AND FUZZY.<br />

It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a small city to find a lost dog.<br /><br />
But that's exactly what Jacksonville did.<br /><br />
Fuzzy, the black-mouth cur belonging to veteran Charlie Booth, who went
missing Saturday afternoon, was safe in his owner's arms Tuesday.<br /><br />
"You're goofy, you're just a goofy girl," obviously jubilant Booth
said, when he visited the offices of the Jacksonville Daily Progress to
share the good news.<br /><br />
Meanwhile, Fuzzy, who definitely lives up to her name with a thick,
luxurious golden coat, laid at her master's feet and obeyed his every
command.<br /><br />
The Daily Progress received numerous phone calls Tuesday morning with
Fuzzy sightings, but it was one resident, a man only identified as
living on Brown Street, who apparently found Fuzzy and brought her to
the Klein Animal Shelter.<br /><br />
"Then Mr. Roy and Ms. Jennifer went and got her and brought her back," Booth said.<br /><br />
'Roy' and 'Jennifer' (Booth insisted on first-names only) are the owner and employee of CJ's Quick Stop on East Rusk Street.<br /><br />
"They were helping me," Booth said.<br /><br />
Booth wants to thank the Marine Corps League Det. 1381, the
Jacksonville Police Department, the Klein Animal Shelter, 'Ms. Micky' at
the Clothes Closet, Jacksonville Animal Control officers, the USPS mail
carrier in the area of Cindy's Florals on East Rusk Street, 'Mr. Roy,'
'Ms. Jennifer and her husband, Scott, and everyone else who assisted in
the search, which includes an 86-year-old reader of our newspaper who
was unable to physically help search, but offered financial assistance
for flyers to help find Fuzzy.<br /><br />
Fuzzy, who was missing the collar and tags she was wearing when she disappeared, will turn 1 year old on Jan. 22.</span><br />

<br />
It wasn't the best of times. It wasn't the worst of times. But it was memorable.<br />
<br />

The Brocato family welcomed Baby Beau David Brocato this year. No, he's not in this picture. He's still in his mommy's tummy at this point. He made his debut about three weeks later. He's wicked cute.<br />
<br />
My parents SPENT CHRISTMAS WITH ME. I was with my parents on Christmas for the first time since Curt was about 2. AND I DIDN'T GET A SINGLE PICTURE. ::SOB:: They flew in Christmas morning. And I'm thankful they connected through Houston, not Dallas, or else they wouldn't have made it to eat Christmas cookies and lots of other yummy food on Christmas day. They spent the rest of the week taking care of the boys while I worked and generally making memories Curt and Luke won't stop talking about. <br />
<br />
I'm SO THANKFUL for my friends. First of all, Connie, Leslie and Kim. We all have been through some... grasping for the right word....STUFF this year. I think we each were dealt a <i><b>doozie</b></i> of an ordeal this year. And here we stand, on New Year's Eve 2012, better for it. At least I speak for myself. We're all still standing, so that's something. Right? Love ya'll and here's to 2013 and SHS!!!!<br />
<br />
I'm thankful for the 'old' (no I did not just call you old!) friends who are still besties even though I suck at texting daily. Yes, that's you, Silvia. *sigh. I will try harder. That's the only resolution I'm making in 2013 because I don't make resolutions.<br />
<br />
I'm thankful for the friends who have been there through thick and thin. You know who you are. <br />
<br />
I'm thankful I escaped the viper pit. <i>And that's all I have to say about that.</i><br />
<br />
I'm thankful for my job at the <a href="http://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/" target="_blank">Jacksonville Daily Progress. </a><b><i>I love my job. I love my staff. </i></b><br />
<br />
Thankful for my work at Brookshire's. <i>I love my job. </i><br />
<br />
Thankful for my work at BScene. <i>I love my job. </i><br />
<br />
Thankful for successful co-parenting and here's to continuing that.<br />
<br />
And thankful for the most beautiful, smart, silly, funny, wonderful children in the entire universe. They are my heart.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5B25Szr_OpCLPe4QklBQVqiRQagqRIgV1kPbYutdzjHh_XXMFkwvjEl-F0HDGrEgGNjAt1ACqKh7l-Xrj87udQP4_M9sYsmr2FBU8V7WZl0dbVaEB9G3TgHlhyOz6v-l3P37xv-SNwh4I/s1600/Santa+pic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5B25Szr_OpCLPe4QklBQVqiRQagqRIgV1kPbYutdzjHh_XXMFkwvjEl-F0HDGrEgGNjAt1ACqKh7l-Xrj87udQP4_M9sYsmr2FBU8V7WZl0dbVaEB9G3TgHlhyOz6v-l3P37xv-SNwh4I/s400/Santa+pic.jpeg" width="375" /></a></div>
<br />
I get to type these (<i>that's why they pay me the big bucks</i>). I'm still only about 329 letters into the stack, mostly penned by area school children and run EXACTLY as written, but I think I've already worn out the Santa-letter welcome for my staff by popping out of my office <i>every 46 seconds</i> to read them an excerpt straight out of the mouths of babes.<br />
<br />
Most of them are pretty generic.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">They were good this year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">They will leave milk and cookies (or in one case, Dr. Pepper and crackers). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Please bring a toy for their baby brother. </span><br />
<br />
<b>You get the idea. </b><br />
<br />
But some made me LOL. And that's literal, not text-speak.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"I was mostly good this year but mom and the polic ofiser (sic) took care of the rest."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"Did you really see what I did the other night?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"Dear Santa, I'm really trying to work on the good things."</span><br />
<br />
Some of the letters have been sweet.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"You do good for evryone on erth."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"I hope you remember this letter forever."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"You must be really tired after a long night."</span><br />
<br />
Many inquired after Rudolph, the elves and "Mrs. Claws."<br />
<br />
A LOT were a <i>little</i> on the greedy side.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"Dear Santa, Can you please bring me an iPad, an iPod, an iPhone5, a bike, a TV, a puppy and new Nikes?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">"Dear Santa, I don't want much, just a tv, a bike, a new car for my mom, a uno game, a ipod, an ipad, a moster truck, a skateboard, an Xbox, xbox games a Wii U, a 3DSI and a new shirt."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">And one even had an unfortunate misspelling when asking for a certain kind of toy. I don't know what they <i>really meant,</i> but I typed it in as asking for a "sox toy." I dunno what else it could have been. </span></span><br />
<br />
<b>But one letter REALLY got me.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Dear Santa, Merry cristmas. I have tried to be very good this year. I have tried to be nice. I work hard in school. Can you please bring me a bed to sleep on?"</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
I haven't quite succeeded. <br />
<br />
Not if you count the four bins, three industrial-sized trash bags (I need to buy a Christmas tree storage bag this year) and the partridge in the pear tree I hauled down from the attic. <b>Plus</b> the extra tub of ornaments.<br />
<br />
I did manage to trim and "recycle" some of the contents of those bins before I decked the halls, but there are some things I will never part with.<br />
<br />
The Christmas tree skirt my mom made me the first year I was out on my own - 1994, I think. <br />

Our kids' Nativity set - my dad built the manger and the figurines are indestructable. Reminds me of the set we had growing up...we played with that all Christmas season. <br />

My favorite Christmas card picture of the boys to date. I didn't pry the back off the frame to see what year it was, but I'm pretty sure it was 2006 or 2007 - so Curt was almost 5 and Luke was 3. One of my sweet students at Trinity Day School gave me the frame that year.<br />

And the Advent calendar my mom made - a duplicate of the one we had growing up. Since there are five of us kids, we each took turns "turning over" days on the calendar. We quickly figured out that whoever turned over Day 1, also turned over Christmas Day and that was like the grand prize of the Advent calendar. It was probably a fight every year.<br />
