Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

ohhh and I noticed a site that had black friday ads up.. certain Wii games at Walmart will be $16

I looked at my email and cheered yesterday, our Xbox 360 has been fixed and on the way back to us. whoohoo. We had the dreaded red ring of death , still under a warranty.

Just had to buy a box/packing material.

We have boxes from E's medical supplies, but unfortunately there are not quite the right size or would need LOTS of fill to protect it on the journey.

I say it was $4 well spent.

Good evening, hyena peoples!
It is... dark.

No Staley yet? Hope all is well, and they were just out having fun.

I saw the Twilight movie last night with my neighbor friend. I'd heard it wasn't that great, so I went into it with that in mind. And it wasn't. It looks and feels very low budget, but I still enjoyed it. Some scenes moved to slowly, while others went too fast. The special effects were a little cheesy, some of the scenes were played a little woodenly or overacted, IMO. And good lord, somebody seems to really love those spinning camera shots! We thought we were gonna hurl at one point!

But I still enjoyed it, and look forward to the next movie... That will hopefully have a much bigger budget and better directing, cinematography and editing.

Im HERE!! Let the party begin. No. It hasnt been a fun weekend. My kids are driving me bonkers. Seriously. It was bad yesterday. SO BAD. My husband told me to leave the kids with him and go shopping by myself yesterday. But I declined.. Im not feeling well, and the idea of waddling my fat butt around a crowded store was NOT appealing.

plus I am worried about baby A. The boy... He is my smaller guy, and I just dont feel him moving to much. It worries me, because baby B is like a little jumping bean. ALWAYS moving. I am sure that it is just because of the position of my placenta.. But still. Freaks me right out.

Blah. So i didnt get a DARN thing done this weekend. NOTHING. Im not to thrilled with that. We didnt even go grocery shopping. But we did go to Claim Jumper for lunch today.. Yum.

Oh... and now Mikalah is sick. Alex gave it to her.. that turd. She is all snobbery, and swollen. Yuck. I know I am next, and OH BOY. am I ever looking forward to that.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Well shoot, that sounds like a fun weekend to me!

DS8 gets out of school at noon this week. DS4 of course always gets out at noon, but has Wednesday off (in addition to Thursday and Friday, of course.) So we're gonna have a whole lotta togetherness. DH is soooo happy to be working this week!

Did you talk about this with the doc? I know my doc told me that any time I was worried about something, to come in. They can do a quick heartbeat check (heck, don't even need the doc for that), or maybe even a quick ultrasound.

Seriously, people go in all the time, and it's worth getting your mind put to rest.

Oh yeah. I tell ya.. Im freaking done. We got home from trying to shop yesterday.. and I locked myself in the bedroom.

Geesh. Alex has full days except for Wed. Thank goodness.. I dont think I could handle them both all week... I would be in jail. Then hubby is home from Wed. to sunday, so HE can have them.

I mentioned it at the last appointment. And she said... Its because you have an anterior placenta. I can feel him kinda moving around the placenta... It makes sense.. But I worry. Especially since one is so crazy.. Then one isnt. Frelan was saying that we KNOW he moves the same as the other one, because every ultrasound he is just going crazy... I just dont feel it as much. Logically.. I know. But still. im just not happy unless I have ten thousand things to worry about.

Good. Sounds like all is well, then. My mind is at ease, and you... well, you can worry if it makes you feel better.

DH has dinner ready; we bought T-bones at Fred's today, and he just grilled 'em up! Grilled steak, in November!

Be back later!

All for a good reason.

Boys have entire week off due to conferences plus the holiday. Hubby will be underfoot starting on Wednesday.

I've already threatened them to seek their friends this week and leave me alone.

Going to my sis for Thanksgiving, she didn't want turkey so we are hainvg lasagna.. different but hey sounds good.
Bought a turkey anyway because, unlike my sis, we love leftover turkey. (Couldn't pass up the sale price of 57¢ a pound PLUS a $5 rebate.. whoohoo almost free turkey!)

HELLO HYENAS

I'm currently in the kitchen making mac and cheese and chocolate chip muffins.

Tomorrow is our company Thanksgiving potluck. I asked a friend of the family to make these Filippino banana egg rolls. It's a type of dessert and it tastes really good.

Hi Guys! Busy weekend, don't know where the entire weekend went, but it's about gone.

JC Penny $10 off $25 coupons have been located and printed. Can you guess where I'm going on my lunch break Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday? I'm not too made because I still have $400 of JC Penney gift cards left.

My brother got a whole house full of new furniture today, so went over to admire that. Played their Wii Fit...my age on it is 33! Seriously, I feel like my body is falling apart and I'm in the worst physical shape of my life and weigh more than I ever have. My body feels like it's 63 not 33. I do believe they must have a defective unit...at least my brother seems to think so as he gave me the evil eye!

Hi Alison! I'm glad you were able to get the Wii Fit! It's lots of fun. My bf and I went to the mall earlier. We went to Red Lobster for lunch. Our server caused us to have a fit of giggles. I don't know if you guys have seen that one Friends episode where Chandler talks about his worst Thanksgiving. Well when our server walked away, my bf and I looked at each other at the same time and said: "More turkey Mr. Chandler?"

Should I be concerned that I'm having traditional Thanksgiving food or have lasagna and banana egg rolls become the norm?

I made a sign-up sheet split into categories. The big bosses are supplying the Turkey or ham and then the rest of us will bring utensils, sodas, someone is bringing pumpkin pie. One co-worker makes the most delicious Korean pancakes. They are sooo goood and we all love it.
