oh and one more thing...I do not share makeup...most importantly the eye makeup...I won't share chap-stick....

I will share a drink with my family...don't like it but i will but that is it....

that is why i think the COMMUNITY CUP AT CHURCH is gross...every person there is giving a little back when they take that sip of cheap wine...not to mention they let the little snotting kiddies drink it also....no thanks....I will BYOB

SOMEONE TELL ME, DO I NEED MEDICATION!!!!!!!!!!

That just made me think of my sisters son's first day at Catholic School...he was going because I was paying his tuition so he had never really seen what really happens or heard what they teach...

On the 3rd day of school my sister had to take up some papers and list me as pick up so I went with her to show her (really it was to be nosey and make sure she did it and did not just say she did)...anyway...the kids were outside playing after lunch and her little boy came running....MOM, MOM,MOMMY....take me home now...(he was crying and very serious)...we were very worried something had happened...we are trying to calm him down..at this point DD comes over shaking her head and I am asking her what happened to the little guy...she was like you don't even want to know mom....by this time my nephew is trying to run to the car and my sister is after him...

My friend that works in the office came out and ask what was wrong and stated she better get the father...my sister was pulling him over to the school...there I stood in front of the door listening to him from the parking lot..

Finally my sister was getting upset and saying "if you don't tell me now what is wrong I am just going to have to leave". she thought he was just freaking because she came to school...at that very minute he starts screaming....HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!!!!!!!...my sister ask, tell you what..what are you talking about...

THEY EAT CHRIST IN THAT ROOM AND GIVE THE KIDS BIG PEOPLE DRINKS (the wine)...and then they all cuss...THEY SAY HELL AND DAMN...

I laughed so hard I was sliding down the wall.....I cried....my DD looked at me and was like, I told you that you didn't want to know...I tried to explain that it wasn't REALLY CHRIST...and get this mom...he think's the school lets us get drunk....

By this time my sister was laughing so hard she had to hold herself to get to the bathroom....

I guess we should have prepared him a little more...he wasn't Catholic...we did take him to mass with us a few times and went to the school....

I had a mental image that he thought Christ was on ice in the back room for everyone to eat...oh well...

Now there is an image... Kids definately interpret things so innocently. You reminded me of a funny story with my son.

We are a blended family and when we were newly blended my stepson was not quite used to being around me as a mom. He was about 8 years old and had gotten a new prescription for allergy medicine filled. I was in the car reading the insert the pharmacy gives you out loud you know... "may cause drowsiness" etc. I read - may cause urine to become darker. He asked what is urine? I replied your "Pepee". When we got home he went straight to his room closed the door and would not speak to me the rest of the day. When his dad came home, I said something is wrong with Shaw. He went in and came out and asked me. Did you tell him his privates would change colors in front of the other boys? OMG I totally began to crack up
He was so serious though. Trauma by the new step mom

Hey Alex..Here. It looks like Fred Meyers has the discount package.

http://www.thefair.com/puyallup-fair/deals_discounts/

Yeah, I was looking at this page online (it's actually the Puyallup Fair's website), and saw it had the same discount prices as my sister was getting through work. (She was ticked!)

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Hmmm, DH should have been home by now. Either he left the office later than expected, or he got stuck in traffic.

I just got off the phone with my mom. She had a biopsy this week on a lump in her remaining breast. She hasn't heard anything yet (I think she said they were going to get back to her sometime today), so I'm hoping that means it's good news. Every time I've gotten bad news, they called at the earliest opportunity, sometimes even the day before they said they'd call. Crossing my fingers!

I will cross mine for your mom too! I assume since you referenced the remaining breast she has had a mastectomy on the other?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Yes, she had a mastectomy last spring after her 2nd occurrence in the same breast. (The first time she had a lumpectomy, and I think that was about 10 years ago.) Now there's a small lump in the other breast.

She seems to be dealing with it pretty well. Or maybe just putting up a good front, it's hard to tell sometimes. She said she'd call when she got word. Now I"m thinking it won't be until Monday, but I am hoping that's good news... Here's hoping anyway.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

I hope everyone's absence this evening is a sign that you all have a hot date!

I took a drive out to Barnes & Noble tonight because they have selected DVDs on sale for 40% off, and I wanted to get a BBC version of Persuasion. I nabbed that right off the bat, then perused all the CDs as well. I came across two CDs for Mamma Mia, one from the stage show and the other from the movie.

I was torn as to which one to get, and was going to let my thrifty side win out: The stage version had more songs on it!

However, once I listened to each, I chose the movie version. Why? Because the voice of the main character in the stage version sounded like that of an 8yo! Seriously annoying on ABBA songs!

I will say a prayer for your mom Alex! It takes so long to get the lab results back from a biopsy, it's extremely nerve racking to wait and wait. Hopefully she will hear something soon.

GOOD MORNING HYENAS!!

Didn't have a hot date last night, just started reading a book and wanted to finish it. Nothing much planned for today, DH is doing yard work and I'm doing house work. WooHoo!!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Good morning, hyenas!
It's sunny!

We've got swim classes this morning, then I guess I'll wrap birthday presents for DS. (I gave him only one present last weekend because I didn't want to carry everything to Ocean Shores.)

If I can get it all together (baking a cake, too) we can celebrate tonight; otherwise tomorrow works just as well. I'm kind of surprised he's been so laid back about it, too.

Thanks, guys.

This weekend is surprisingly quiet; however next weekend will be very busy!

I told DS that, since we aren't doing a big party for him this year, he was welcome to invite a few friends to do something fun, like bowling. He chose the friends he wants to invite and the activity, so now just need to contact the families and see if we can borrow their child for a few hours.

That event will hopefully be next Friday evening. Then Saturday my family will come over to celebrate birthdays: DS8's, my sister's, and my DH's. Then Sunday one of my girlfriends is hosting a BBQ for our group of friends, so 4 families all together, with 9 kids aged 1.5yo to 8yo. Wheeeee!!!

Found out this morning that one of the ladies on the Komen message board just passed away. Her breast cancer came back in her bones this winter and she didn't respond well to chemo. It was just shocking to everyone how quickly she went downhill.

So anyway, I'm kind of in a funk today. Most of the time I do really well and even though you live with the fear of cancer recurring, it gets shoved to the back of your mind. But then something like this happens and boom, there it is right back in your thoughts. She had a better prognosis originally than I did, so you have to wonder why her and not me? I know I should quit asking those type of questions, but it's hard not to sometimes.

So far two of the ladies I chatted with quite a bit on the Komen board have passed away, Terri Castleberry and now Sue Michener. You guys would have loved Sue, she was so funny, sarcastic and wrote the funniest stories. I'm really going to miss her wit and sarcasm.

Anyway, I guess I need to get busy doing some housework and get my mind off things. Today is clean the bathrooms, vacuum and change sheets day. Bleech!

 

[sameyeyam]

I am so totally uninspired to do housework today. Started cleaning the bathroom and my neighbor showed up. Kewl I thought, I'll quit cleaning for a bit (even though I had just started cleaning 5 minutes before she showed up). But even better, she invited me down to sit in her hot tub!!!!!

So now I'm back, much more relaxed, eating leftover popcorn from last night and pondering the meaning of life. I'm pretty sure it's not about housework!
