Morning Ladies, My plan to sleep in was ruined by the neighbor deciding to work on his car at 7 this morning...ugh..his garage is right next to me bedroom window. But i got even He hates the fact that i feed the birds and they always poop at his house... So i threw all the birdseed this morning on the side of the house where he parks his brand new car... Hopefully they will eat and poop all over it.

Mandy, get that car yet?

Well cristina changed plans on me so now it is just me taking the kids to the park downtown and some pizza afterwards. She had a church crisis she had to handle for her hubby.

LOL, good for you, fancy working on your car at that time of the morning (go on birds poop on his car )

No news on my car so far, I don't think Paul wants to ring them as there'll be a big bill

What a shame that you're not meeting up with Cristina, will you get the chance to all meet up before the kids go back to school ?

Have fun at the park and enjoy your pizza Chat later

I told all three of my kids NO to take your daughter to work day. Since I work from home they all know just what I do, every summer is take your daughter to work summer!!

Well, so much for that plan! Last night we went to the circus. I took Becca Sami and one of Becca's friends. On the way to the circus Sami said she felt sick, but I thought it was because she was working on her homework in the car! Then she said she felt sick towards the end of the show, Guess I should have listened to her because she puked all over the car on the way home, the poor little thing!!! I felt really bad, we were on Rt. 95 and still had about 45 minutes to get home, Becca and her friend were holding their noses and trying hard not to puke, I drove about 75 most of the way home. The friend bolted out of the van as soon as I stopped! Her Daddy got the worst of it, since he was not with us, I made him clean the car up!! while I bathe her. Sami was up half the night puking so no school for her today!

While we were at the circus Nicole called, it was so loud I could barely hear her. She was walking our 2 little mutts and she found a baby parakeet! She actually caught it while holding onto the leashes of 2 dogs!!!

Then she brought it in the house and the cats tried to get it. She got it in a box and then called me! "Mom what do I do?" I had no clue, so I run down to the restoom, where I can sort of hear and called a friend who brought over a terrerium with a lid. So far baby bird is doing ok.

Why me???

I need to work, bake muffins for Grandparents day at school tomorrow, pick up Rebecca who is staying late after school to practice singing;she will be singing the Star Spangled Banner at the State gymnastics meet on Saturday. We both have to work there on Saturday, I have to help at Grandparents Day and Sunday I am a Race marshal at a 5k run ( read I am too fat to run so I stand on a corner and direct traffic! ) Becca has gymnastics from 7-9:30 tonight and 4-8:30 tomorrow night and in the middle of Friday practice I am throwing a party for about 30, level 5 and 6 kids to celebrate making it to States! It is no wonder I don't get any work done and my house looks like a bomb went off!! How do we moms do it all??

Afternoon All, Back from town and lunch...ugh and the kid is still here. He has no key to get into his house. I guess his mom figured i would just babysit her kid all day from 12-6 while she was at work. So now i have to feed him again...lol..the dogs haven't stopped barking since we got home and scratching the back door to get to him. I can' wait to eat and just relax in my p.j.'s. I need some me time.... . I did walk my two miles earlier and i will punish myself later. I have to do it again since i was very bad at lunch.

Laurie, Did u rip all your hair out yet between your kids and the bosses today?

Mandy, Hopefully we will chat at 5 for our ship watch.

Sandy, Congrats on you bunch of quotes u got today...hope they all book.

Jen, Didn't hear from u today?

Enjoy your programmes tonight

Good night Girls

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Bahama Mamas

Where are you all ? This is the first time I've got up and no-one has posted since I went to bed last night. Have you all been partying without me

It's weigh-in morning today, and I'm pleased that I have lost a pound.

I'm a bit annoyed with myself as I wasn't very good this week, and I'm just wondering how much I would've lost if I'd made more of an effort

I don't have a very exciting day today. I'm doing my big grocery shopping this morning, giving the house a good clean, laundry, and the girls usually come home at lunchtime

Oh well, at least it's nearly the weekend

What are your plans for the weekend ? Kerry wants to go holiday clothes shopping, so we'll go to Birmingham either Saturday or Sunday and then Sunday afternoon, Paul & me are going to a Rugby match

Have a great day girls

Glad your day went well Laurie. Thanks about the weightloss, but I went grocery shopping this morning, and I have eaten lots and lots of Pringles and choclolate - I could slap myself for being so silly. Mind you I did enjoy them

Well done on doing your DVD, keep up the good work

'See' you later

Uh oh - pringles and chocolate?? YUM! As long as you enjoyed them!!!! I am telling you the fat free pringles are GREAT!! Try those!! Then instead of a lots and lots, you can eat the WHOLE can!

I didn't exercise at all yesterday, but I worked all day, came home, we went to dinner (Outback & I was GOOD! ) And then we had a game, by the time we got home, and Dominic had a PROJECT TO FINISH - I wanted to KILL him! He told me about it the day before, and it had been assigned for 2 WEEKS - so, needless to say - no treadmill for me last night!

Well, I am off to do something constructive - I'll be back in a few!
