Good Morning! Good luck today Mickster!

Good Luck Mickster!

Thanks you guys! I think all of your good thoughts made the whole telling the truth thing so much easier. She wasn't even upset or anything. I think I made it much worse in my head (or I just distracted her with the other issues we've had... :rotfl: )

You guys rock! :grouphug:

[PrincessNancy96]

So glad it went well.. and you made a mistake.. that is hard to believe.. I know it had to be a computer error.. you actually did it right, the computer messed it up!

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Glad to hear it went well. It's tough to admit to mistakes, but they happen to everyone, right. :)

[Mickster]

The funny thing is, all weekend I was trying to come up with a story that would blame the software we use. Then, I thought of the line I always say to the kids "Even if you do something wrong, I won't be too made if you tell me the truth. I'll only get really mad if you lie". Well, I totally was planning on lying to get me out of trouble. I realized that if I expect the kids to tell the truth even though you know you're going to get into trouble, then I better too. The best part is once I realized that yesterday morning, I was no longer worried about telling her the truth. And it totally worked out. It was barely a blip on her day. Phew... :)

I have been there! And I have said those exact things to the kids. Only I think I would have still stressed until the whole thing was over. I am so glad it went well.

I hear ya... I tell my kids the same thing... and I even tell my kids.. when they start the Uhm, well uh, that if you start a sentence or explanation with those words...I think you are fibbing to me.... that usually results in a quick, honest answer.. okay off to get ready to take DD to practice, come home fix dinner, get ready for the HS orientation, get DD from practice and to the HS orientation...and hope the boys will get their showers while we are gone... homework for the boys is done..but DD has more algebra to do... Always something!

I'm so glad it worked out so well!! It's always worse in your head isn't it?

get ready for the HS orientation, get DD from practice and to the HS orientation...

:grouphug: Been there... 3x now. It's not all that bad... but I'll be honest, it did bring tears. At the first one, the speaker said all the things that my son was going to have firsts with over the next 4 years, first drive, first love, first job...and I did want to cry. BUT, then I realized that I did a good job so far, and I'll always be Mom through it all...and I hugged my kids hard that night!

[Lisa]

Mickster, good to hear it wasn't as bad as you thought it might be. Go treat yourself.;)

Boy, I'm hoping I don't cry... I know all the firsts.. here I am worried about her driving...and you are right... I've done a great job so far as mom...or at least I hope I have that this should be a great experience for her (them).... I know I have my DsS that is a sophomore right now..and he is doing great...but of course that is because he has me in his life! :lmao: I'll have one starting HS every year for the next 3 years... Whoa!

[TPCShauna]

WTG on taking care of your little problem today, Mickster. I hate having to do that.

:hug: to you PN96. Hug DD especially tight tonight.

BAMB - I didn't realize you were still having problems with your hands. Do they have any ideas?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's my list for the day.
1. Work DONE
2. Sit in on new troop GS meeting.
3. Send Happy New Year cards. I know I'm late. :guilty:
4. Place cookie site sale orders for my troop.
5. Scrap 4 pages. I'm so close to my goal!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Boy, I'm hoping I don't cry...

good lord woman, you know you need to bring a whole box of tissues with you and if I were there, we would need 2. My baby sure is growing up fast! :sad:


BAMB - I didn't realize you were still having problems with your hands. Do they have any ideas?



yep, she said it was a really bad case of eczema and I aggravate it by scratching at night and by constantly washing my hands. Between changing DD's diapers and OCD I am forever washing them. She gave me a really strong topical steroid and antibiotic and she wants to see me in 3 weeks. Hopefully it will get better. She did say though that the lotion I use is one of the best, Nuetrogena's Norwegian Formula. At least I was doing one thing right! And I liked her way better than the dermatologist I saw when I burned my thumb, so I don't mind going to see her again. The other guy was a jerk.

and to boot, she gave me a script for the break outs on my face too. Not that I asked but she gave me the once over and offered. Who am I to turn her down right?!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Mickster--I'm so glad it went well!!

PN96--sending you lots of :grouphug: !!

BAMB--I hope your hands get better soon. I get eczema on my face, and it is no fun! Sending lots of :wizard:

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok all of you are here by notified that you will be helping us map out our DD's future... Just want to bounce scenerios around... I'm pretty sit in my thoughts but I have to be open minded so that is where all her DIS Aunts come in.. A 2 hour meeting..only for us to pull out of the parking lot for DS11 to call saying DS7 got sick.... poor kid will be home again tomorrow.... anyway, urgh!

[aroyer]

BAMB- I hope your hands start feeling better! I have psoriasis which can give me fits, but I don't think it is nearly as bad as eczema. My dermatologist gave me a prescription for my acne while I was there too- it's nice when they are thorough!

PN96 let us know how we can help- I loved putting my schedule together in high school! And :hug: for the little guy!

[ddavis860]
