Actually Lisa, for some reason when i open our thread it opens to the last post and i have to scroll up to get to the part where it says read first unread. when i click that it goes to the last post.... so doesn't work...

However, that i follow that same procedure for every other thread i'm subscribed to and go to last reas post works fine.

go figure...

I just bookmark the last page that I have read & open it up that way.

Brandi, today is definition day for Kim. What is OBX? Also your birthday! I bet Becka has some great birthday smileys!

Kim

OBX is the outer banks of North Carolina (the beaches). They are quite beautiful!! Today isn't my BD...the day we drive home and wait up to book ressies is my BD!!!!

The Outer Banks of North Carolina® is a chain of barrier islands midway on the Atlantic Seaboard, 90 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia and 321 miles north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. From Virginia, we're accessible by Highways 168 and 158 and in North Carolina by Highway 64. Surrounded by 900 square miles of water, we have the third largest estuary system in the world, wildlife refuges, maritime forests, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the highest sand dunes on the East Coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park.

Impressive~~~~We love Jockey's Ridge! That is so neat! We always head up there for at least one sunset each trip!

Well DH got a raise of about $80/month on 9/1 so I thought just maybe we could be ahead just a tiny little bit although the price of everything is going up. Well I just got notice that daycare rates go up on 9/4 and they are going up for us $15/week. We will now pay $370/week for daycare. I just don't know how everyone does it. It is getting to be so outrageously expensive. My mortgage payment is $980/month. My daycare bill is now $1603.33/month! We are daycare-poor!

I really like this daycare but we may have to start looking somewhere else. Unfortunately all the other centers around here are the same or higher so we would be looking a home care which I have some issues with. I almost feel like I have to put my kids in a situation I am not as happy or comforable with just so I can afford it.

Maybe it would not matter anyway. My DS has turned into a holy terror and is constantly getting in verbal fights all the time with all of the kids in his preschool class. None of them will play with him anymore anyway. He refuses to listen and punishments seem to be having no effect on him lately. He simply does not care and I am getting to the point where I don't want to care either.

This cruise was really a major luxury and a splurge we probably should not be taking in the first place and now with all of this I just don't know. I still have not made our final payment yet and while it would kill me to cancel especially at this point I just don't know what to do.

AAAHHH...I really hope you will be with us on this cruise! My jaw hit the floor when I saw what you pay for Daycare!!! Holy Bananas! Move to PA...my DMom could be your sitter! She watches my kids when I work. She hasn't had the 2 full time yet 'cause of the maternity leave but come Jan 2 she is the main woman!

Cool! I think I need to go to that State. Since I have been to SC and Virginia, I have obviously missed a cool place.

Kim

Yes you have!!!!

We had a campfire in our driveway tonight (stone not paved). DH and DS are sleeping out in the tent. We need a new tent, last time we slept in it we all got wet in the rain. I told DH that I will never sleep in it again...I need a new one. He said that it would be fine for tonight, we have not had rain in weeks (grass is brown and crunchy). Guess what...it is POURING!!!! I am glad that Eliza and I opted to stay inside! I think we will be tent shopping before the weekend is over!

Now I am sitting here on the computer and everyone is offline. I am worried about my 2 favorite boys! What can a little water do??? Not much...they are in the back yard....I am such a worry wart!

 

[klineyqueen]

I must be losing it...I am replying to my own posts!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

John and Amy - How was the game? Did your fav team win? How about the band...did they look and sound good?

 

[klineyqueen]

It is now thundering and lightening. My boys are in a leaky tent. I just knew it would rain tonight! My mom said last week...you and Jason need to go camping we have been having a dry summer. Everytime we camp it rains!!!! I am sorry to keep going on and on about the rain and the tent. Not a big deal...I know...sorry guys.
