[tinksdad]

Going to bed now, night night all

I love this place, feels like home. I'm ignored there too....... JK

Kevin -- they spent the day here, and are coming back to finish up in the morning. I really like the main guy that is here. He is going to take care of something else for me on the roof and isn't going to charge me any extra for it. I will let you know tomorrow how it goes. The kids are getting really excited for it. We went with the 5 ton, 14 seer unit made by Gordon. They told us it is made by Amana and is much quieter than the Carrier units and just as good. Hope they are right. Have you heard anything about them??

Didn't want you to think I was ignoring you, you were posting I think while I was writing my night night note

 

[BWVPam]

Kevin -- what the guy offered to do for us on the roof is that when we added on the extra large closet in our bedroom last spring, they cut an "upduct??" in the ceiling to draw air into the closet. Anyway, he said he will repack it with insulation and ceil it back up on the roof. I thought that was nice, because it wasn't in our contract. Of course, I was really nice and offered them food and drink while they were here today

 

[BWVPam]

Okay -- now who is not talking to me??? huh huh

 

[DareTooDream]

One more for a top! Nope, Sherry snuck in for a top

Sorry Pam - I think it took me 45 minutes for that one post. I was working on it during commercials - and of course the picture took awhile

A Mojito is rum, lime juice, and mint...probably a little sugar too perhaps!

Is that your house in the background of that picture??

Hey, I'm hoping I'm coming out your way between now and next May ('07). KT has entered me in a "why my mom deserves a spa vacation" contest! She had to write a 100 or less word essay about how great I am.

No, my house isn't that pretty.

I see the Hidden Mickey now....but I didn't notice it before. Guess that's why they call them "hidden".

I hope you win! We'd love to have you come visit. And I'm glad I don't have to count on MY kids to write a nice story about me.

 

[justmestace]

Doesn't happen here. Dh is a pediatrician AND the kids are all up to date on immunizations (in fact, he's even brought the flu vaccine HOME and we've given it here---saves us a 30 minute drive each way)

Although he did just inform me that Nick is quite overdue for his med recheck. Oops!

U TOP with Stacey and her family and my family. How cool is that?

Jordan's school nurse called today and said that Jordan is missing her tetanus booster...that she would have at least had at age 14...two years ago. And I KNOW we all had them before we went to Bonaire. Will have to call the doctor to check.

 

[justmestace]

Don't get your hopes up with a visit to the Stacey Shack. I spent the day with Stacey and got to see the shop, the Horney Toad, the schools.....but no Stacey Shack.

Virgil got to see Stacey Shack...because the cleaning women had just been here!

 

[justmestace]

I don't want to see the Stacey Shack. I want to see the Horney Toad. So there!

Wow, a U TOP with Stacey, Jim and a horney toad. Not sure how I feel about that one

pdfg

He forgot that I also showed him the Satisfied Frog!

 

[justmestace]

Thanks, Laura. I'm optimistic that all's well. I'm just glad that we now know what it is, that we're not alone, and that there is help. Thanks for letting me know about your niece and that she's getting better. Just a matter of time, I guess!

--Samantha

He will so totally kill me for telling, but Jared had this also. The meds were a total life saver and worked great!!

 

[justmestace]

Offended? Grossed out? Trust me, there's not much you can say to me on this subject that hasn't been talked about over dinner almost every night for the last few months. I long for the day that we DON'T talk about poop at mealtimes!

Seriously, though, you bring up great points, and I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge.

Our initial problem with wetting led us to a diagnosis of encopresis, and Erin's been on Miralax (and regular as clockwork) for a few months now. We (and her pediatrician) were hoping that the problem would resolve itself after she was cleaned out and had time to heal, but obviously, that's not the case. The urologist did bring up constipation and knows that Erin's on Miralax, so we've got those bases covered. But as you said, she's seen no improvement on the daytime wetting front (she's always been dry at night - go figure), so we're going to give this a whirl.

OK, we've now successfully grossed out the board for the night. LOL! And I'm sure that now LOTS of people want to have dinner with us!

--Samantha

I think it's all really interesting...and really nice of Mike to volunteer that info. Jared's problem was obviously different, because he was wetting more at night. (Oh yeah, he's gonna love this)....but no one ever asked me about his bowels. You learn something new everyday.

I'm not sure I even want to claim THIS T.O.P.......

Tonight, Bruce told Ashley to show me how to smooch. So she put her lips on my and move her head around a bit. It was cute but AACK!!! Where is my 3.5 year old learning how to "smooch"??? I went out to get my hair cut tonight. She saw a commercial on TV and told Bruce that the couple was smooching. He asked her what it was and she did that to him.

Ang

Now you have to explain that it's okay with Mommy and Daddy, but not the grocery checkout person!

 

[justmestace]

Did you just call Jim a Horny Toad???

OMG! Where was the drink warning!!??

 

[justmestace]

I promise I won't use the words turd or stool at the dinner table...

no wait... i have a REALLY funny stool story... (about a real stool not the other stool, you know?) so I might have to use that word.

Right now, I find nothing funny about stools of any kind. Must have pinched a nerve, I've got pain shooting down the leg, and can't rely on the darn thing to hold me up. And Jay says tonight "Maybe you should see a the chiropractor....Oops, forgot, you can't". Thanks, honey.

 

[justmestace]

Sure, Winston Churchill was here, just last night in fact.

Good one! Sometimes you guys really surprise me.

We were at the airport (Jay and I) and there was a guy in uniform sitting by us. I asked Jay what branch of service he was in, since I can't tell the difference. He was in the Army. So Jay asked me if I could tell what rank he was. "No...."
He had no stripes. Jay said he was a Major...had a black star on his chest. Smarty-pants.
So I see this gal behind us in those fatigue pants that everyone is wearing now...and thinking I can be a smarty-pants, I said "So what branch of the service is SHE in?" The man doesn't even take a breath........he says.........

Mike,
Thanks for the info - it helps put things together! When DS was about 6 or maybe he was 7 already he was having constipation problems. At one point the Dr. ordered an x-ray of the midsection. We were told DS was "moderately full of poop"! At some point he started wetting frequently. I think it lasted 6 months or so. It was quite frustrating. I don't think we ever put the two together. We assigned him the nickname The Urinator During this time was our first Disney Cruise. We cruised just after Thanksgiving. I thought it would be great to have a Christmas Card picture. After we left dinner one night we went to the atrium to take a few pictures. I don't know if it was the lighting or what, but I didn't notice DS pants til I saw it in the pictures. Needless to say, we did something else about a Christmas Card
Sherry

How funny - a U top with The Urinator!

Now I'm REALLY going to get in trouble.....I can't tell you how many pictures of Jared that we have like that! But I'll spare him the agony of posting any.

 

[justmestace]

Well, that was fun. All caught up...and here I am talking to myself.


Time for bed. I have a meeting in the morning and I think I would rather go have all of my teeth pulled without novacaine.
It's with Jay's brother. Some of you know what that means, others will just have to take my word for it....it's pure torture.
