The snow is melting....fast. It's supposed to go up to 40 today and it's nice and sunny out. DH just stopped by, he's on day-shift. He said that our end of the county got more snow than the rest of the county. People of the eastern end of the county got nothing and they're trying to figure out why there's no school! :rotfl:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I think I'm gonna have to force myself to go take care of some laundry! Be back later.

That load of laudry's done. Except for pairing the socks and I'll do that during Days of Our Lives. :teeth: I swear there has got to be two hundred socks piled on the couch right now! :scared:

ugh! the dreaded socks :sad2:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

ugh! the dreaded socks :sad2:

I swear they multiply in the laundry! They're worse than rabbits! :lmao:

And think of me with four guys in the house. All the socks look about the same except for sizes!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I didn't get a chance to tell you what DD pulled yesterday!...

First, she calls home about 15 minutes after I got home from work. She knows I hate work on Mondays, she knows I have to walk in the door and get dinner ready and deal with the boys. If DH works on Mondays then the boys have to come in and get started on homework and everything alone, so when I get home they're ready to tell me about their day. So DD knows this is not the best time to call.

[eeyoresmountainpals]

So then she proceeds to ask if she can borrow some money. Before I even asked why I had to tell her that right now is not a good time because our budget is really tight right now. So she says, well remember when you guys went to WDW last October and I wasn't invited? (Okay, lay on the guilt!) Remember you said you would help me if I wanted to go somewhere over spring break. I said, no, I remember saying that we would help if she wanted to go see her friend in FL over spring break. I ask if she wants to go see her friend. No, she wants to go to Gatlinburg...

with her boyfriend (that we don't approve of)....

and wants to stay at the hotel that we always stay at....

and wants me to help finance this!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

And she can't understand why I'm having a problem with this.

1. I'm not naive, I don't have a problem with the idea that she's going away with her boyfriend. She's old enough to make that decision.

2. How could she even think to go to the hotel we always stay at. This is the hotel that DH and I honeymooned at almost 23 years ago. This is where our kids have grown up going on vacations. This is "OUR" hotel. And she thinks we won't have a problem with her bringing her boyfriend there. I could see it if there were no hard feelings as far as this guy goes but DH can't even say this guys name. He only refers to him by a name I can't put on here! Doesn't she see that if she goes there with her boyfriend it'll never be the same for our family going there again. Am I wrong??

3. And how could she expect me to help her finance this?

And it's not like she was calling to start planning the trip and see if I could help. They wanted to leave last night 'cause she suddenly has time off from work. (Yeah, suddenly has 4 days off because she was suspended from work for being late....again!)

[Lyn5]

sorry-I had to finish before it got to late-sorry to hear she didn't enjoy the dance class-but it may be for the better-have you thought of your DD joining TaeKwonDo too???? my DD was thinking about it,but since she already does piano,BB,soccer it was too much for me to handle :teeth: Where are thinking of signing her up when she is DSes age...she is still only 3 (almost 4), and we decided we would try soccer (which we think she would enjoy) when she is old enough and maybe swimming again this summer if I can find a better class than last summer...I think she is not ready for a structured class yet...which is fine. I believe in giving opportunities, but not forcing them to enjoy it :rotfl: so, we will try something else later. :thumbsup2

[eeyoresmountainpals]

So there's my saga!

DD called back last night to tell me they were on their way to the beach. They decided against Gatlinburg. At least that's good. But she's still going away with #&%#&%#!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

It's so good that you don't want to force the opportunities. You mentioned before that you'll go back to cooking and baking with her. I bet she really enjoys that! And the important thing is that you're doing something that she enjoys!!

Yikes! Why do they have to grow up?

Sorry to hear she put you thru all of that. :grouphug:

Lyn honestly that is the best way. DD does dance because she wants to. I support her 100%. The only thing that I make sure every month is that she still wants to do it before I make the committment with funds.

If she didn't want to, no big deal. We could find something else to do.

But if I pay for the month I do expect her to finish it out.

My neighbor used to pay 100's of dollars for her kids to do diving and cheerleading for them to do it one or two times and than quit. And they are teenagers now and have NO responsibiliies what so ever. They expect everything to be handed to them with NO strings attached. Very sad.

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Seems like every time I start to see hope that she's moving away from her boyfriend she pulls something like this. It's so hard. I try not to say much about him but when it comes to something like this I can't just keep my mouth shut. I'm glad that they decided not to go to Gatlinburg because I really feel that it would have changed our feelings as far as it being "OUR" place! But I wish she would just lose the boyfriend. She's been with him 3 years now! UUUUGGGGHHHHHH!~

I agree completely. We don't force our kids to do anything but if they want to do something and we make a financially committment then we expect them to follow through until we're no longer financially committed to it.

Of course, a three year old probably doesn't understand the idea of the financial committment yet! :teeth:

I am really not looking forward to his with DD.

You are at a Darned if you do and darned if you don't situation. You say something about @#$%^$# and she runs and gets closer to him. Or you just let it ride and she stays with @#$%^. Hopefully she will see the light soon or find someone really speical.

I agree they don't understand that, but DD has been taking dance since she was 3 and I would just ask her if she still wanted to do it. And as long as she did I would pay for the month. But if she didn't it was no big deal.

The whole thing is the hardest thing I've gone through. It really tears at the whole family. I try not to say anything 'cause I know she'll just run to him to rebel. But on the other hand it's so hard not to say anything 'cause of the situation. I can't win!

Please don't feel guilty :grouphug: ...you offered to help her see a friend...not finance a getway for she and her boyfriend that they can't afford. If she were staying at the hotel on her own dime, I would think that as insensitive as it may be, that would be her choice....but to ask you to pay for it :sad2: and to pay for him :sad2: I am sorry, but that is too much. I know you are not naive, so I will say this...if something occurs as a result of this weekend getaway, I think later it would bother you and your DH even more if you helped them go...just my $0.02....goodluck...I don't envy your options and I don't look forward to having teenagers/young adults :scared:

Trust me I know that one first hand. My Parents told my brother about his girlfriend being trouble. So he goes off and gets married, has a baby. Ends up in big trouble for something SHE lied about. Gets cleared and has not seen his DD in 18 years. Go figure. Mom and Dad knew what they were talking about.

[Lyn5]

It's so good that you don't want to force the opportunities. You mentioned before that you'll go back to cooking and baking with her. I bet she really enjoys that! And the important thing is that you're doing something that she enjoys!! Well, we never stopped baking...or eating :rotfl:

I didn't read far enough earlier...I am glad things worked out with your DD.

Thanks!

[Mom2Ashli]

The more his friends and family told him stuff about her the faster he ran to her. BIG MISTAKE in his life that the rest of us really had to pay for in the end. It really took a lot out of my family to deal with this situation he caused.

Moms and Dads usually do know what they're talking about in situations like this! But you certainly can't get the kids to see that!

Sorry for what you brother went through!

[Mom2Ashli]

Well, we never stopped baking...or eating :rotfl:

I didn't read far enough earlier...I am glad things worked out with your DD.

My problem is that DD loves to cook and bake but doesn't like to eat it. So DH and I have to do our part to eat all the stuff she wants to make. Trust me it is beginning to show.

[Lyn5]

Lyn honestly that is the best way. DD does dance because she wants to. I support her 100%. The only thing that I make sure every month is that she still wants to do it before I make the committment with funds.

And they are teenagers now and have NO responsibiliies what so ever. They expect everything to be handed to them with NO strings attached. Very sad. You sound exactly like my DH. Anything we sign them up for, they must finish, but we do it in reasonable increments. Soccer- DS finished and then the TaeKwonDo we did only one month. After the one month, DH asked DS if he wanted to keep doing it or not. DS wanted to keep doing it. We asked if he rather do that or soccer....he wanted TaeKwonDo...so, we paid for the next set. At the end, DH will ask him again.

The tap class was a free tryout...so at this point DD isn't getting signed up...if not, I would have done a month by month too. :thumbsup2

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Well, we never stopped baking...or eating :rotfl:

Good! I know my kids always loved baking at that age! And my boys still like it!

I don't know if "worked out" is the correct term. Maybe tolerated would be better! :lmao:

::yes:: He figured that out in the end. But it was a hard lesson to learn.

People don't realize that things like this effect the entire family and it takes everyone in the family to work through it. DD has all but alienated (sp?) her brothers because of this guy. She's made her choices. And as much as she feels it's her choice she doesn't realize that "HER" choices effect and hurt everyone in the entire family!

[Lyn5]

:rotfl: I understand! My in-laws usually love our deserts....but they went....on a diet :sad: DH and I have been picking up the slack :rolleyes: My problem is that DD loves to cook and bake but doesn't like to eat it. So DH and I have to do our part to eat all the stuff she wants to make. Trust me it is beginning to show.

But, on Sunday, my DMIL was watching over DH's Grandfather for the weekend...he is in his mid 90s and has some great days and some not so good days....he was SO HAPPY watching the kids play in the yard...and I brought over lunch so we all (Papa, DMIL, DFIL, DSIL, DH, DSIL's boys, my two and I had one of my Sister's girls) all ate lunch and then the kids played and jumped in our little jumping castle...

Papa just loved watching all the kids and hearing everyone chatting.... :goodvibes

[eeyoresmountainpals]

It's turned out to be beautiful here today too! The sun in shining! It's about 40 degrees! And almost all the snow is gone!

It's supposed to be up in the 70's by the end of the week.

Glad you tried it! Did you make it with sausage or bacon. (I found out you can also make it with ham!)

http://www.wataugademocrat.com/2006/0306web/commissionerdealitsnotjustajail.php3 THAT'S AWESOME! He looks so serious...if He approached me in uniform I think I would be scared ::yes:: :upsidedow

[eeyoresmountainpals]

DD just called to check in from the beach! She's having a wonderful time.

Gee, mom, why aren't you very talkative?

Uh, gee, I don't know. I'm glad you checked in and that you're okay but :furious:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

THAT'S AWESOME! He looks so serious...if He approached me in uniform I think I would be scared ::yes:: :upsidedow


He always looks serious in uniform. You'd swear he was like that all the time. People that meet have met him first in uniform and then see him out of uniform can't believe the difference!

I told him he looks like he's afraid of the ribbon in the picture! :lmao:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

THAT'S AWESOME! He looks so serious...if He approached me in uniform I think I would be scared ::yes:: :upsidedow


He's pretty short for a cop...only 5'10" and not real muscular, so I think he learned early on that he had to have an intimidating personality! And it works!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I have got to get myself motivated to get off this computer and get some stuff done around here. I think I'm just putting off doing the taxes!

Wish me luck. I'll check back in later!

[Lyn5]

Glad you tried it! Did you make it with sausage or bacon. (I found out you can also make it with ham!) well, I sort of modified it for us...I used Portuguese sausage and left out the mustard seasoning and added pepper and instead of making one dish, I put it in 4 pie pans...DH and I ate one for breakfast (he loved it!!!!), I took one to DMILs which they ate for lunch and froze 2.

DH has an indoor archery meet this weekend...so, I was thinking of making it again...maybe with smoked sausage and putting the mixute in a deep cookie sheet without the bread...baking and then cutting it into rectangles and folding them in half and placing them in english muffins...so the guys can each grab a muffin and eat...no fork or plate required :goodvibes

[Lyn5]

He's pretty short for a cop...only 5'10" and not real muscular, so I think he learned early on that he had to have an intimidating personality! And it works! Yeh, I would probable pee in my pants if he pointed a weapon at me :lmao:

me and my mom went to the grocery store, and then to pick up Andie. I didn't get to go to on my walk b/c my mom was with me and she didn't want to walk

[Mom2Ashli]

I love shopping at old navy! They have cute clothes and they're pretty inexpensive :thumbsup2

I normally don't shop there. But I was looking online for something and I think it is cute how you can shop by outfit. Click on it and you can buy the whole thing or just parts. :thumbsup2

i didn't know that :thumbsup2

[Mom2Ashli]

i didn't know that :thumbsup2

::yes:: Go to Womens and on the left handside a couple down it says "shop by outfit". And it brings up several different types of outfits.

There is also one that says Wear to work which is pretty cool.

[trappednabox]

:wave2: Hi Tracy

:hourglass it is almost time for Kelli to :moped:

Hey Lyn :wave2:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

well, I sort of modified it for us...I used Portuguese sausage and left out the mustard seasoning and added pepper and instead of making one dish, I put it in 4 pie pans...DH and I ate one for breakfast (he loved it!!!!), I took one to DMILs which they ate for lunch and froze 2.

DH has an indoor archery meet this weekend...so, I was thinking of making it again...maybe with smoked sausage and putting the mixute in a deep cookie sheet without the bread...baking and then cutting it into rectangles and folding them in half and placing them in english muffins...so the guys can each grab a muffin and eat...no fork or plate required :goodvibes


You're so creative when it comes to cooking. I like the english muffin idea!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

He looked pretty serious the time that I met him. But I think he was looking for my axe. :rolleyes1


I think he was just so shocked when he met you. You looked so normal and that just wasn't what he was expecting at all! :lmao:











That, and he was trying to figure out where you had the axe hidden! :rotfl:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

This little outfit is so cute for DD.

I love it! I remember when our DD was that age! She always wore cute stuff like that!

Great idea for those of us that are "fashion challenged!"

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Guess what we have!!!!?!?!?!?


Kittens!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

We knew our cat was pregnant but she's really small and we didn't think she was "THAT" pregnant.

I went down to the basement to put some laundry in and I thought I heard this faint "MEOW." So I looked around and found our cat eating at their bowl. But she didn't look pregnant. So I went looking, with no luck. So then I looked at her and said, "Come on Molly, show me your kittens." And she went right to them!!!! She had them on a trash bag that had some rags on them. It was a black trash bag, she's black and all of the kittens (there's three) are dark grey and black. So we put them in a big rubbermaid container and she's taking good care of them. It looks like they were born yesterday.

[trappednabox]

I wish andie liked them. :guilty:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

DH just came home from work early and said that we're going out to dinner. Uh, what about the budget??? Oh, well, he's the boss! :lmao:

Chinese buffet it is!

You're so creative when it comes to cooking. I like the english muffin idea! I did the cookie pan thing with just baked egg (salt, pepper and I think milk....a little healthier than frying an egg in oil) and folded it in half with cheese slices and ham inside on the muffin...with ketchup....but to make your way will be much quicker and I think tastier :teeth: we will see what the guys say on Saturday :goodvibes most of his friends don't get much (if any) home cooking....so they are an easy to please group of guys :rotfl:

hi Tracy...
guess what?... Kathy's kitty just had 3 baby kittens :love:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Andrew's already asking if we can keep the kittens. He talked us into keeping her last ones. She had two females and they're only six months old. We need to get Molly AND those kittens fixed as soon as we can! (Not that they're broken...that's for sure! :lmao: )

I told Andrew no, three cats around were enough. His comeback was "But mom that's not fair to Molly! How would you feel if someone came and just took me or Matthew or A.J. away from you!"** And the sad thing is that he's not just saying that to make me let him keep them, he really feels that way!






**And notice....he just mentioned him and his brothers, not DD! :confused3

[poisoned apple]

i love kittens...
the best thing about them is that their eyes r soooo big and their head is sooo small...

**And notice....he just mentioned him and his brothers, not DD! :confused3 our response is always that we feel so blessed to have "X" and that there are other people who are sad since they have no pets...so we are going to share....also, we try to explain that it is a lot of work and cost having a lot of animals...on our last pups they each got to choose only one...it was very hard on all the kids, especally DH since he didn't get to keep the one he wanted ;)

[trappednabox]

why do they want you to stop? do they think you haven't been eating properly?

no they don't, even though I have. Plus I think my mom is sick of hearing me say " I can't eat that" everytime she tries to cook for me

[Lyn5]

:wave2: time for me to head out :wave2:

feel better Tracy!

[trappednabox]

thanks! see ya later :wave:

[Lyn5]

no they don't, even though I have. Plus I think my mom is sick of hearing me say " I can't eat that" everytime she tries to cook for me well, maybe you could compromise and try to eat what everyone else is eating....but a smaller (but healthy) portion and walk more :confused3

[Mom2Ashli]

Bye Lyn

Oh Tracy I am sorry you are having issues.

I can't understand why they would want you to stop your diet. Your Mom is a Nurse and should know that eating healthy is good for you. And you are walking which is a wonderful thing in itself.

[trappednabox]

well, maybe you could compromise and try to eat what everyone else is eating....but a smaller (but healthy) portion and walk more :confused3

I was thinking the same thine

[trappednabox]

I can't understand why they would want you to stop your diet. Your Mom is a Nurse and should know that eating healthy is good for you. And you are walking which is a wonderful thing in itself.

I don't know. I think I will just keep up with my walking, and try to add more too it to make up for what I'm eating

[Mom2Ashli]

I don't know. I think I will just keep up with my walking, and try to add more too it to make up for what I'm eating

That sounds good. Do what is RIGHT FOR YOU!

They might just feel you are not getting what you need.

[trappednabox]

I don't know what they're thinking. you're right though I need to do what's right for me, and i think I'll see how this goes, if it doesn't work out then I'll go back

I clean 3 house a week and the fourth is my worse one...( the fourth is mine) If I had any help I would be excited. I use to keep up and have help but this year I am helping out a friend and watching her DD4 & DD7 before and after school. Wow, I almost forgot life from that era. today the 4 year old glued 3 pages of HOMEWORK to my DD wall. :rolleyes:

I will be back and forth so i can try to catch up.

[ckckc2000]

Wow. You are still having snow and we are in the middle of SPRING here. My oak trees are in FULL bloom. Everything around here things it is spring.
OK-rub it in will you-we still have about 8inches of the white stuff still on the ground

[ckckc2000]

It's been like spring here too, but it's getting hot now, so it's starting to feel like summer already
enough!!!!!! I can't stand it anymore!!!! It's still so cold here!!!!!

[ckckc2000]

Kim - I was just reading back. I'm very sorry about your Dad. :grouphug:
We'll find out more once they do a biopsy-so hopefully whatever it is it's been caught early-Thanks though

[ckckc2000]

I hope it cools off soon! I hate the heat :guilty: I don't do too well in it.

Cools off soon...it hasn't even gotten started yet-- :lmao:

[ckckc2000]

So he's definitely decided to move??? Last time I heard it was still kind of in the talking stages. Are you okay with that???
He's all determined to do it and his buddy-the Army kid-we know him really well-is very responsible-they're going to be roomates with another Army person

I hope it goes well,I'm not thrilled with him driving out there all alone,he's never driven alone that far-let alone he's never been great with directions

but I pray that everything will work out and he always knows if he changes his mind and decides to come home,well send him a ticket home-he's 19 now and of course he knows better than us all the risks :rolleyes:

:furious: come to think of it could she be confussing the weather with hot flashes?

[ckckc2000]

Where are thinking of signing her up when she is DSes age...she is still only 3 (almost 4), and we decided we would try soccer (which we think she would enjoy) when she is old enough and maybe swimming again this summer if I can find a better class than last summer...I think she is not ready for a structured class yet...which is fine. I believe in giving opportunities, but not forcing them to enjoy it :rotfl: so, we will try something else later. :thumbsup2
I forgot she was still so little-3yrs old is a bit little for that :rotfl:

[Pluto's Honey]

Tracy I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself. I am delerious... :rolleyes2

[ckckc2000]

:furious: come to think of it could she be confussing the weather with hot flashes?
No she's only 27-so she better not be having any hot flashes yet :rotfl2:

good morning everyone.

we extended our trip by one day and came home tuesday night. I am feeling better -- but just looking at food makes me a little queezy-- so crackers for lunch today!!!

on my way to work.

tell everyone about my day at the park on monday later

gotta read back too.....

At first I thought maybe all the axe talk freaked her out and she was afraid of me.


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[tubachick]

oh! :rotfl: I doubt that had anything to do with it!

no, the axe had nothing to do with it... after all I brough my chainsaw!!! :rotfl2:

But the housekeeping at CBR was great, they brought extra towels and asked if I needed anything (as I was always in the room when they came by).

but by monday I was game enough to make it to AK for the early safari--- had to say I did something on my trip!!!

[tubachick]

You should be worried. I will be meeting you OUTSIDE THE PARKS and SECURITY!!!! :bitelip:

Hi Pam sorry you got sick on your trip

Hope you managed to enjoy some of it


GOtta go see you all later tonight

[Good Ol Gal]

good morning all :wave2:

Once again I am going to post and run... Travis has his state Achievement tests this morning and it's going to be hectic. He is NOT used to having to get up early in the morning!!

Not to mention that they are holding it at an office building, in a conference room, but NOT providing a place for the families to wait. That is NOT a very good plan on their part. They expect you to wait the 2 1/2 - 3 hours while your child is taking the test in the lobby :confused3 Now, we're all homeschoolers, so we WILL Have all our other children with us... and I'm going to have "to keep them quiet, since it is an office building and there will be people working" I'm all for good manners, but come one. That is expecting too much of the families. Here.. sit in this lobby and don't say a word, and you can't leave b/c you don't know how long your child will take to take the test.

Ok.. I'm done grumbling :teeth:

Now I'm off to wake up T and make some pancakes. Have a great day all!

oh yeah one more thing........






:cheer2: I'm last and you're not! :cheer2:

Have a good day and I hope you are able to get some rest.

[Good Ol Gal]

isn't there somewhere to bring the other kids while you're waiting-McD's playland or shopping or a pet store-something :confused3

Hope it goes well-Good Luck Travis!!!!

you're not allowed to leave the premises... well they said you could go to the parking lot :rolleyes: Yeah, like I want to sit in my car while it's 30 degrees outside! And there is NO WAY I'm just gonna run it to keep it warm with gas being $2.50 a gallon.

[Good Ol Gal]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! He is very nervous but your well wishes brought a smile to his face! "They said good luck?? To me?!!" :teeth:

Ok.. gotta go get dressed and then out the door :wave:

[Mom2Ashli]

Get this. There is a News Story on our Local news this morning. A women and her child were robbed and taken to a bank to withdraw money for the guy. The Store that she was robbed I CAN SEE FROM MY OFFICE. And the details are Terrible. And guess what this is the 3rd time he has done it AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM HEARING ABOUT IT.

The last one that was close to my office happened ONE MONTH AGO and they are just now bringing it up.

Do you know how many times DD and I got places by ourselves. And it appears it happened during the day because he wanted her to GO INTO THE BANK to CASH A CHECK!!!

CRAZY!!!!

[trappednabox]

[Mom2Ashli]

Man what a slow day.

And the boards are running slooooowwww

[Mom2Ashli]

I need to get somethings done. I will talk to you later.

[Good Ol Gal]

we're back from the testing. We've been back a bit, but I had so much to try to catch up on here.

Travis seems like he did pretty good. It took him about 1 1/2 hours to take both the reading and writing sections. They alloted 5 hours total for it. He said that after he finished the reading section he went back and checked all his answers. It is so nice to be over with. Now on Friday he has the math section. He's not too worried about that one... he likes math alot.

Now I'm just trying to straighten the house up b/c the cable guy is coming out to set up digital phone service here. He should be here sometime around.... 2-6pm. 4 hours of waiting and waiting.

Well at least it gives me time to get done what I want too around here.

[Lyn5]

I didn't know they had those....don't tell Andie PLEASE!!!! oh yeah...they started with videos...the day we left for our last trip (when DD was really sick and I took her to the dr.) DH bought DS two pokemon videos...so, I was looking to find more, so that DD can watch them on our trip. They have pokemon, cartoon network stuff, Dora and Strawberry Shortcake, Shrek 1 and 2, Sharktales, Nemo, etc.

last year I bought a used gameboy for myself for my birthday. The kids never let me have a turn! :confused3

[trappednabox]

that's why we have 2 :lmao: and when she can't find hers she better not ask me for mine :lmao:

last year I bought a used gameboy for myself for my birthday. The kids never let me have a turn! :confused3 DH was teasing me just that when DS and I were playing Pokemon (we didn't fight too often :rolleyes: ). DS got a silver game boy advance for his B-day from my parents and DH and I bought the same thing, but purple for DD. DS loves playing the games...but DD likes watching DS play or playing the little movies :love: we like that the battery will last really long on them and they are small enough for little hands :goodvibes

...I won't tell Andie about the video :ssst:

Those Pokemon games are so addicting!! Did you get the cable so you can trade?

[trappednabox]

Right now andie is off of Pokemon and onto star wars again! She drives me crazy with all the star wars stuff. the other day when I was really tired she came in my room to ask me about starwars right when I had fallen asleep! I was soooooooo mad!! I'm used to her waking me up if it's important and if my mom isn't home, but my mom was home and I know nothing about star wars!!

[Lyn5]

Those Pokemon games are so addicting!! Did you get the cable so you can trade? no, but it is o.k. We were playing and completed FireRed and our Blastoid was really experienced...then DS wanted to start over with Charmander...so we started playing the game over again :rotfl2: I bought him the Emerald Green game....but it is hiding in our closet for the plane trip. He enjoys having them battle, so as long as that is part of the fun I probable won't start storing or trading them :confused3 maybe I should do it for when mommy plays :lmao:
