Good Morning fellow cruisers!!!

Jen your post makes me so sad How awful to make first graders so miserable toward school. I really hope this guy doesn't completely make these kids hate school If I were you I would speak to the principal and voice your concerns just so A. its documented in case it gets worse and B. so you maybe have some leverage in getting the best 2nd grade teacher for next year. Good luck with everything in Boston


Laurie so glad you made it to South Carolina, maybe it will warm up

Hi to everyone else. We are going to the mall today to spend some Easter gift certificates and then it's back to school/work tomorrow. John is on vacation for the rest of the week and is doing some remodeling in the kitchen

Have fun shopping suzanne..

Morning mandy,I just got back from the torture of dragging my parents into the 21st century..lol.They ask me to come over to help clean up their computer and get it moving faster etc. But then my dad is freaking out don't change anything, don't touch that...lol..After some let's say loud conversation i convinced him he had to download spyware and delete his hundreds of cookies stored on his computer. So what are up to for the rest of the day mandy? All done taking mom around?

Sandy,Glad ian had a good time in the city.Hope he gets it.

Laurie sent me an email that was meant to be posted here so i deleted it..lol
It turns out she meant for me to post it for her. She is having problems logging in today. So basically she said it is only 60 and she can't wear her flip flops..lol.. They are going to hard rock today.

Hey Michele-

I have a copy of the email so I will post:

So, here is the quick version - it's COLD - not flip flop weather, it might reach the mid-upper 50's today - nothing great - we are going to revamp our original plans.. I don't think we are going to see the impersonator show - the boys are moaning about it - and it's pretty expensive... Today, I think we are going to tour the hard rock theme park that will be opening next month - it looks pretty cool from the road, then they boys want to do MagicQuest today too - so, we'll do those things and do dinner at Hard Rock or something... the cold has me unmotivated!!! LOL

I'm just chilling Michele. Kerry and Becky have gone to their friends house, so I'm taking it easy. The house is nice and quiet now, which is great as they have been eating me out of house and home since they broke up from school

You were finished quick at your parents, what else have you got planned ?

LOL..Quick that was the longest 2 1/2 hours of my life.. I think i would have prefered being in labor for 2 1/2 hours rather than trying to convince them what needs be done with the computer... Then after i am done my dad wants me to stay for a late breakfast....don't think so . All i wanted to do was get the hell out of there and come home to do my stuff.
Sorry for the rant..

Well it has been a fairly quiet day here today. I got tons of housework done...see what happens when u aren't around to talk to laurie.
I actually cleaned my house... I even washed the truck by hand this afternoon...brrr...that wasn't Such a good idea though. I am ready for a nap now. The boards have been so quiet lately everyone suddenly has lives.. Just kidding.Well i am going to put dinner in the oven and call it a day on the housework.

LOL, I'll be glad when everyone is back from Easter/Spring breaks and we can see that countdown getting closer and closer

Well done on all the housework. Paul is clearing out the garage. He's just bought a running machine (wishful thinking that we're all going to get fit ) so he's making room for it and his motorbike that arrives at the weekend

The girls are still at their friends, so I've had a relaxing afternoon/evening

Yay, it'll be April next week - let's hope the Spring weather finally arrives too

Enjoy the rest of your day girls

Wow everyone is so quiet. Have to take Tori shopping for make up at Sephora tonight. Should be a joy. She takes FOREVER! Hopefully I can check in when we get home. Hope everyone has had a great day!

Hi everyone...

I'm too tired to catch up on everything tonight but I wanted to say hi. Emily was up until 4am or so last night so I didn't get much sleep. Nothing serious just a cold with lots of congestion and a low grade fever but it is making her miserable. She was attached at the hip today. I think it was because I jinxed myself here last night and said I was looking forward to peace and quiet Tom is very lucky to be away on business right now. Hope everyone had a great day and I will check in tomorrow.

LOL, I hope it didn't take too long to get her make-up. Did you get anything else ?

Aww poor Emily, I hope she's feeling a lot better today

Goodness me, it's quiet on here. I think everyone is busy with their Easter break and all these pesky kids are keeping us busy

Yay, it's Wednesday, which is usually my day to myself. I'm going into town this morning and then hopefully I'll get my exercise dvd out (if the girls have gone out)

Other than that, I haven't got much planned

Have a great day everyone

Morning mandy,
Jeff is home today and wants to rake all the leaves..Yippee i am praying for rain..lol.Why do i have to be involved in his project because he is bored?
Anyway since he is home today i won't be visiting the boards until tonight or he will get all cranky... So i hope everyone has a great day(i'm sure it will be better than mine)and i will check in later tonight.

Morning everyone-

The trip to Sephora was surprisingly uneventful. Tori got a nice foundation. Finally no more orangey face. I got a couple books at the bookstore, nothing exciting. Today I'm going to try to go to a movie. I have a free ticket that expires today and I hate to see it go to waste.

Mandy, enjoy your day to yourself.

Michele, have fun raking leaves -

Veronica- hope Emily is feeling much better today.

Laurie, if your reading hope you have a fun, warm day!

Everyone else have a great day!

Hi Sandy, what movie are you thinking of going to see ? Glad you managed to get what you wanted last night

Yes it did mandy. It is very cute but i was surprised by how small it was. I have bever seen one before and i thought from the pics on ebay they looked bigger.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

I agree, I thought it would've been bigger too Michele, at least we know we can't leave huge gifts in them

Hey sandy, I sent you an im. Why aren't you on? lol You can't actually have better things to do than chat with me do you? jeff is still sleeping so i am dising while i still can..

Why don't you go and rake the leaves up now and then get him to take you shopping instead ?

LOL, you really can't win, can you Michele ? I'm so lucky, Paul loves to go shopping.

Who do you go shopping with ? with friends ? your girls ?

My friend cristina (but she is in aregentina for 2 weeks )the girls or my mom if i am desperate... She takes way to long to examine one thing before she moves on it drives me crazy.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Do you always shop with paul and the girls or do you go with friends too?
