i bought this really nice frame about memories and making them and so on.
i put 3 pics in the frame of bubba and ma and hung it on my brandy new living room walls. it looked awesome. my niece came over last night and we were standing there admiring it (ok crying too!) and we walked away and the darn thing fell right off the wall and broke! are you kidding me?? i'm so bummed. why?

ok vent over!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Cause your mama needed to get your attention and say that she's ok and you don't need to cry. That you need to remember and rejoice about her life and the fact that she loves you forever. She would want you to have the happy memories, not the sad ones.

[Arizona Rita]

PO3~ I was going to say something similar to what Bamb just said to you!
Hugs, and lots of them, and you will get throught this!:hug:

[Arizona Rita]

My list is small but time consuming because I have to take the last load down to the homeless school today.
We did a total of
361 BAGS (I wish I knew how to make that bigger!), plus there was a box of miscellaneous things last week and blankets and this week we have an 3 additional bags of hygiene, toys and school supplies and my sisiter wants me to stop by her school and pip up a load of stuffed animals! You almost cant see out of the vans windows!

And the other thing is, having never been a room parent before, the lead just told me yesterday that if I havnt sent out a notice on the teachers faves I should do that. School is out on Friday! I would think parents have already decided what/if they are doing anything!
I just know that I am going to make sure that this teacher gets a teacher appreciation week that rocks!!

So list:
School office to get letter approved
Sisters school for pick up
Homeless school for delivery

[aroyer]

Nutty day!

Same old everything - but also spent most of the day doing :santa: work!

Wish I were heading to WDW like several of you - have a wonderful time, Buffy and SIOH!

[party of 3]

Brooke and Buffy have a super time! I so wish it was me!

[Lisa]

Take photos of house all clean to send to Grandma

are there dirty pictures? ;) :rotfl2:

Holly, Mom was just sending the two of you a kick in the pants saying she loved ya too! :hug:

I am watching our kitten freak out over the monorail going around the Christmas tree. It is a hoot!

[ddavis860]

PO3- I was going to say the same thing too. I think it's your mom saying she is fine, and be happy.

It's a shame that it broke though. :hug:

[ZeroToHero]

Sooooo.. I think I'm done sushi for a while. We ordered the sushi/sashimi "boat" - turns out sashimi is not what I thought it was. I thought it was the fish on top of the rice. Nope. It's just straight up fish. A lot of it. I was fine for the first couple pieces, but eventually felt pretty sick. It was an experience... I guess. Now I'm going to go lie down and try to control my gag reflex. Still not feeling so hot.... :sick:

[ddavis860]

Z2H- Ummmm, gross! I like sushi, specially the ones that are all cooked... but that raw fishy stuff is just bait to me...

Hope you feel better!

[PrincessNancy96]

ZTH ~ hope you feel better hon!! I don't do sushi... nope, not ever... I'm a chicken, I admit it...



Ok, anyone want a handyman?? I'm giving DH away.. he is on my last nerve tonight... I'm tellin' ya... he needs to pull up his big boy pants and make is 15 yo behave... It would not be happening if he lived here tonight... he'd be grounded to his room... grounded... erk!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hi y'all! I didn't get to check in today. We were thinking of leaving today if DH got off in time, but he didn't. Then it was just one of those evenings that went all to heck! My parents came over, though, and we had an awesome visit! A great kick-off to the trip.

We're finishing everything up and heading off to bed soon (not that I'll sleep!). Hoping to head out at about 2 a.m. I'll check in once we're there and set up!

Buffy, can't wait to meet you! Be safe on your trip!

[ZeroToHero]

Have a great time you two!!!!! Be safe, mind your manners and look both ways while crossing the Streets of America! ;)

And thanks everyone - I crashed on the couch, and am feeling a bit better now.
