I think I'm going to bed. I hate being so tired all the time. During the day at work I have to be go-go-go so I think when I get home it's crash and burn time. I've been taking the iron pills like a good girl, but honestly I think my iron level dropped between the first and second blood draw. I have to get my blood drawn again in two weeks to see if it has gone up any, so I can get surgery rescheduled. If it isn't any better by then, then surgery won't be until April at the earliest. UGH.

Good luck with that, Abby...

This is getting interesting

 

[CustardTart]

I couldn't let it slide by! Just kidding! My boat doesn't float that way.

Awww!!! Are you saying you didn't mean it!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Harry-

You broke 1,000! You've come a long way baby! (at least since the beginning of this cruise meet group)

Well done!!!

 

[CustardTart]

...Good morning to my evil twin!

Who me???

Morning!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Oh, now you are backpedaling!

What are you suggesting???

 

[CustardTart]

Hey,

I thought, I was the evil twin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more cupcakes for you..LOL!!!!!!!!

Thank you!! I knew I was the angel in this posse...

Abby,

I found the iron pills take a while to kick in at least for me anyways...They are rough on your system too!!!!

I'm learning that!!

You aren't evil! You are my bouncy buddy, among other things!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

How about evil triplets?! Or is three still considered a crowd?!

Three's not a crowd at all! I bet by the time 17 more months rolls around, we'll all be warped, evil, bouncy................we will have rubbed off on eachother too much! You got two out of three Harry. Are you bouncy too?

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Kristin is feeling better - she's returning to her evil ways again!

Kristin-

I retract my comment saying you weren't evil! Harry's right. Keep it up!!!

 

[CustardTart]

De La Soul say, "Three Is The Magic Number!!!" And as Q magazine ranked it the tenth greatest hip-hop song of all time, that's good enough for me...

Found out today that Tim qualified for two events in the Eastern Regional swimming championships at the University of Delaware!! We are very excited. DW is excited as well because Delaware = tax free shopping!!

He might have been able to swim a third event, but on that particular day we have to be in Philadelphia as we rented a suite for the Flyers/Penguins hockey game for Jake's birthday. It's going to be an exhausting weekend, but those are the moments we live for as parents

Congrats!!! You must be so proud!

It sounds like a wonderful weekend!

 

[CustardTart]

I do feel like I'm finally getting back to my old self you might say... Sad to say but the older you get the harder it is to recover it seems like...Pretty sad when your father tells you that you look like you've aged since you had surgery. Thanks, Dad!!! I thought my mother was going to kill him. If looks could kill...LOL!!!!

Three, is only a crowd when your a kid not an adult...LOL!!!!!!!!

OUCH!!!!

watching "The Bourne Ultimatum"

When I went to bed last night DH had on "Sixteen Candles". It was right at the part that everyone was leaving for the wedding:

"Dong <clap clap> Dong <clap clap clap> Where is my automobile?"

"Automobile? (how do you type crashing sounds?) Wreck, BIG wreck!"

I LOVE that movie!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

That will be FUN!!! My kids are not morning people like Bruce is...LOL!!!! So getting them out the door was such a hassle.. They really enjoyed it and they all love Bruce. Our friends daughter refuses to play unless Coach Bruce is the coach. She loves Bruce....

I bet he is a fun coach! DD's coach last year was wonderful! She is very shy around men but she warmed up to him. I agree, getting them out that early for practice/games is a hassle. DH usually has to work so I'm usually running around like a chicken with my head cut off!

Kristin is feeling better - she's returning to her evil ways again!

Welcome back, Kristin!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

That was exactly the approach I took, Abby! I remember writing a handbook on how not to be a parent - I was 9 at the time!!! Really, my parents should never have had children - they were so absorbed in each other and their damaged relationship that my brother and I were witnesses to scenes kids just shouldn't see... BUT what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger - apparently...

So true!! I was lucky my parents got divorced when I was 8. After that life was pretty sweet. But the damage was already done. Things could have never turned out any better though. I've since had wonderful step-families. (don't know how else to word that. )

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Good luck with that, Abby...

Thanks! I never thought I'd be upset about not having surgery, but when the doc called Monday to cancel, I was. But it is for a good reason, so things always work out for the best!
