Veronica - Have a great time tomorrow, I hope you treat yourself to something nice and enjoy meeting up with Laurie. I hope your hotel is nice and that you enjoy your weekend

Thanks Mandy! I'm very excited about tomorrow and it will be such fun to meet Laurie I now wish that I hadn't booked a hotel because here it is almost midnight and I still have to pack (one night but much to bring...swimvests, goggles, diapers, wipes, sippy cups,etc.) It will be worth it to get to go swimming and pretend its summer though.

Hi all!

I feel Like I am lurking, reading all of your posts, so I will try to get involved.

Diane

Don't feel like a lurker...you sound very busy so join us as you can!!! It made me tired just reading about your weekend. Hope everything goes great with the meet and the singing!


Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

Hi guys!

It's Saturday! YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We are flying to Boston on the 26th. (26 - 28) We can fly for $84 each way from the tiny airport in our town (on a 9 seat commuter) in an hour and 20 minutes. If we drive it will be 5 - 6 hours plus gas etc... We just figured it would be better to fly.

We ended up getting the medical rate at the Best Western Longwood Inn. It is next to the hospital.. The reviews are either really good or really bad.. I'm really scared!

Em had her best PT session EVER on Thursday! We call things like this inch stones at our house.

Sarah's substitute for 1st grade is a jerk. Her teacher is on matenity leave and he feels it is his job in life to make every child conform to his ideals.. I have gone from a kid who loved school to one who hates it.. She will be having her Kindergarten teacher next year for second grade and we are SOOOOO excited about that!
So... What is new and exciting? Anyone going cruise shopping this weekend?

Good morning all!

Just a 'quickie' before I start my morning - (it's a late one for me) - we are heading out at about 10am to go up north - and will meet Veronica at some point today! Hopefully the weather holds out till we get home, we are due for MORE rain! UGH!!

Anyway, hope you all have a great day! We'll update later!
Laurie

Hi Girls

Sorry to lower the tone last night, you see, it only takes a couple of glasses of wine and I start harping on about my Trinny & Sussanah Magic Knickers (btw do you know who I am on about ? )

Well she is seeing him tonight at the teen hangout place and she is all happy with me. I decided to call in sick tonight i still feel a little icky.

Oh no, I hope you're feeling better Michele

We had a nice time at the John and Kate presentation. They were really entertaining and funny.

Glad you enjoyed it Danielle

I think the gods were smiling on me today, not only did I save the team money but I stopped at the mall to buy some easter presents at Aeropostal and some lady I never met, let me use her 30% off coupon and I saved $50.00!! How nice was that! I can't wait to pay the kind deed forward and do something nice for someone else!!

It sounds like you've got a very busy weekend ahead of you - I hope you enjoy it How nice of someone to give you a coupon, it always makes my day when someone does that kind of thing for me

Thanks Mandy! I'm very excited about tomorrow and it will be such fun to meet Laurie I now wish that I hadn't booked a hotel because here it is almost midnight and I still have to pack (one night but much to bring...swimvests, goggles, diapers, wipes, sippy cups,etc.) It will be worth it to get to go swimming and pretend its summer though.

I'm sure once you get there, you'll have a great time Veronica. Have fun meeting up with Laurie, and I look forward to hearing all about it

It's Saturday! YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jen - I'm with you - 'Woohoo !! It's Saturday'

Sorry to hear that Sarah's substitute teacher is a jerk. Thank goodness she doesn't have to put up with him for much longer - though it is horrible sending your kid to school when you know they're unhappy

Just a 'quickie' before I start my morning - (it's a late one for me) - we are heading out at about 10am to go up north - and will meet Veronica at some point today! Hopefully the weather holds out till we get home, we are due for MORE rain! UGH!!

Have a great day Laurie, I hope you and Veronica have fun. I hope one of you has taken a camera, so we can see a piccie of the two of you together

Well I've had a busy morning today. First we had to go to town for some bill paying, then we visited Paul's aunt. On the way home we stopped off at a retail park and Paul bought me a tankini set for the Cruise. Here's the link, for some reason I can't copy the picture, but here it is

Obviously it doesn't look that good on me, but I just loved the colours

Also Kerry and Becky have just rang and said that they're staying at their friends tonight, so Paul & I have got a night out - woohoo ! I can't wait

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Mandy, I like the suit very cute maybe in 60 lbs it would look good on me..lol

Jen that stinks about the sub i hate it when teachers make kids hate school.Their job is to make them want to go. Good luck with it.

Diane, You are a busy woman. I needed a nap from just reading all that .

Laurie and veronica hope you are funning without me .Take some pictures.

Mandy i am so jealous of all the time u have alone with paul i can never shake free of all the kids for us to just have some alone time.

Michele, we have waited years for this to happen, as both sets of grandparents were useless when it came to babysitting. In the past year, things have really changed (thank goodness), but I love it when something comes up last minute and it gives me and Paul an evening out

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Well i have 3 more years with austin before that is going to happen for us.
Man it is a ghost town here today.. I just got back myself from grocery shopping and picking up sarah from her sleepover.

 

[mandymouse]

Hi Michele, it has been very quiet this afternoon, I just hope that everyone is having a great time, and that they've got lots to tell us when they're back on-line. I wonder how Veronica and Laurie got on today ? I hope they managed to meet up OK. Well I'm ready to go out, just waiting for Paul to put his face on (LOL, only joking dear) and we're going for a Chinese meal

Are you working tonight Michele ? If so, I hope it's uneventful, but goes quickly for you

Girls - wherever you are - have a great afternoon/evening

[DVCLaurie05]

Laurie - Did you win anything today ? I hope so

So, I didn't win a thing at bingo - I was NOT happy at all!! But, we had a good time anyway!!

Have a quiet evening Michele, no getting yourself arrested, though your mugshot on America's Most Wanted would be fun to see

That is too funny - that place is drama every night - there should be a reality TV show based out of your job!! LOL

Well she is seeing him tonight at the teen hangout place and she is all happy with me. I decided to call in sick tonight i still feel a little icky.

Are you feeling better today???

Hey Michele, did you buy anything nice ?

LOL, my mum sometimes goes on at me for dying the girls hair, but she would never say something bad in front of them

So did the grandparents give Nicole her birthday present today ? I hope they didn't forget
