Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi- Charlotte here- I wanted you to know that there is a special on TLC Tuesday about the Duggar's. It's not a rerun either. I thought you might have been one of those people who were interested in the Duggar family. I watched Dr. Phil's show with octuplet mom and I think he hit on every board message I read online. I just thought you might be interested. Hope I spelled their name right. I am going to school full time this term so I will be extra busy. I am going to start working on my kitchen also and I am also working on a professional development project for my daycare business. Went to see the Reader last night....sad ending. Josh is doing good at school. They have an assistant for him and the only other occomadation they have to make is time. He still gets speech therapy at school. I have an appointment at Blank Hospital about an insulin pump this morning. There is only 2 kids here today because 1 is on vacation. Hope you have a nice day. Charlotte **************Need a job?
