Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

I was very stiff and sore today. It seems that I am addicted to the Wii and come to find out I am a great Wii bowler. I have a goal to lose10 pounds before the cruise. According to the Wii scale I've already lost almost 3 lbs. the last 2 days.

When I first got the Wii I took it to my parents house and my siblings were in town. We all played Wii Sports for HOURS without realizing it. We were so sore from bowling, baseball and tennis and I think we all had tennis elbow the next day.

You should play Wario Smooth Moves. That came is hilarious and so fun!! My siblings have Rock Band for XBox 360 and I've been playing that with them at my parents house. It's actually a lot of fun but some of the songs are old rock songs that I never heard before, such as Bon Jovi's songs.

We were all laughing because my mom was like: "Why do parents buy Rock Band for their kids just so they can make lots and lots of noise?"

THanks guys. I swear.... I am just crazy right now. Usually I am very laid back, and things dont phase me so much. I guess it is a combo of everything that is going on. My poor husband seriously thinks I am going crazy. How do I know?? Well... He looked at me... you know, after woke him out of a dead sleep to FREAK OUT.. tried to comfort me...When that didnt work he just stared at me. You're CRAZY. I KNOW!! I cant help it!!

I just had this vision of Mikalah looking at me with sad little eyes becasue I couldnt read her a story... I was to busy taking care of the babies. It was HORRID.

Anyhow.. I calmed down. For the moment. Im still massively freaked out, but these babies are coming.. Not much we can do about that! I know as soon as I see those little faces... But until then.. I just need to get a paper bag to breath into.

I am getting HUGE. You know its bad when ALEX comments on it. I was getting out of bed the other day, and the whole family looked at me like... OMG.. You GREW! Overnight??? I guess so. Mikalahs favorite form of entertainment right now is to put her toys on my belly while I am taking a bath and watching them jump all over the place.

Spongie, hang in there. Remember when life gives you lemons, just pick them up and throw them right back!! I know it's not easy going thru bad times and there are lots of folks out there right now having a hard time. My DH got laid off last spring and just got a new job this month with the railroad, although we don't know how long that will last, could be laid off again this spring. Things will get better, they always do and you can always find the bright spots in life to help you thru the bad times. Like your computer being fixed and the birth of your beautiful niece. Hang in there!

We buy our children noisy toys because we know that when we hear noise it means they are staying out of trouble....quiet children = trouble!

I believe I have bowlers arm! DS got a fishing tournament game yesterday and he's been playing that. My legs, arm & chest are so flippin' sore it's not even funny. I am setting a goal of losing 10 lbs before my cruise, so I'm going to give it a workout.

Hi Megan! Boy I feel for you girl, I thought I was going to explode when preggers with only 1!

Hey Alison! My belly button is now flat. We have been using it a gauge to see how big I am getting.. And NOW??? Its almost out. I have NEVER had that happen.

I can remember my belly button getting flat when I was pregnant. I remember being able to clean out all the little cracks & crevices with a pair of tweezers. DH thought I was insane!

Well our snow is FINALLY melting. We still have about 18 inches or so in the yard, but it's pretty much been plowed off all the streets. My brother had to come over with his tractor and scoop it off the driveway on Christmas Eve so my inlaws could get up our driveway. My MIL has MS and doesn't walk very well, so there was no way they could park at the bottom and walk up. The fort roof on the swing set fell down, lots of tree branches down, but other than that no real damage.

 

[sameyeyam]

I came in to work for a few hours yesterday, the kids were supposed to go shopping, but came back after only 2-1/2 hours, so I didn't get much done. Today I came in for a bit to catch up on things, need to go swing by Best Buy and pick up a new computer modem, then I'm headed over to Super Cuts to see if I can get this mop cut!

Seriously, my kids are driving me nuts! You would think by now I would realize that I was meant to have a career, not be a stay at home mom. These snow days and holidays I think have us all a little messed up!

Im glad you are finally melting! We have almost nothing left. It was in the high forties and raining yesterday.. So we lost just about everything that was left. Makes me sad. Oh well.. I cant tell you how many times I almost bit it in the snow.

I know what you mean! My kids are NUTS right now. Well.. not right now, they are quietly coloring. but with the snow, and then rain... Thy are getting a little stir crazy. We have been to Mcdonalds twice.. So they can bust out some of this energy. I cant WAIT until we can join the Y again. We were all happier when they were doing that. At least we would have a place t go swimming.

We've been above freezing for 3 days now, we just had so much snow that it's taking forever to melt. Every day we seem to lose about a foot or so. Right now I am sitting at work looking at about 8 foot piles of snow in the parking lot where they pushed it. The kids quit playing in it about a week ago, it's apparently lost all of it's magical qualities.

I was just over on the Royal Carribean website checking out our land excursion choices. As usual I want to do everything. My sister says we should just go to a couple of the markets and do shopping and bar hop our way down the beach. Apparently you can get a drink and then hop in a hammock and nap the day away.

I was looking at the Sea Trek water park and the jet skis! I'm not a big fan of swimming with the fish, ok...let me rephrase that...fish freak me out unless they are swimming in garlic butter. Floating on a mat looks fun, but as fair skinned as I am, I'm thinking that laying in a hammock in the shade might be a better idea.

[sameyeyam]

Since this is an adult trip maybe I should skip the waterpark thing?? But on the other hand I love water parks! Although this one is floating out in the ocean and I'm not real crazy about sea creatures. Hmmm....decisions.

My sister says we definitely have to parasail.

So many choices...so little time!!!!!!!!!!! I want to do everything, but then I'll come home more tired than when I left.

 

[sameyeyam]

Time to get back to work. TTYL!

Oh my! That sounds like it hurts.

 

[staley7580]

Its not to bad.. My skin is sore though. Who knew you could stretch so much without exploding.

Congratulations on the engagement!! How exciting!

With DS8, my deep innie just got shallow; with DS4 it popped out!
Outies have always kinda creeped me out, so I didn't like to look at it. DH liked to joke that it was my Butterball indicator, and I was done.

OMG, I did that, too! I thought, "I'll never have another chance to clean this out again..."

Thanks It's fun being engaged so I think I will enjoy for awhile. No rush for the actual big day!

Have you found any of the creams work for stretch marks? A few people I know said nothing worked, but I've heard that cocoa butter makes your skin feel better. Can you get any sort of massage or something soothing? Hang in there, you're going to have two new beautiful babies in no time!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Christina! I see your little green light is on!

Geesh, isn't it past your bedtime? Or is it morning already?
