Evening everyone,

I've been under the weather since Monday, I have allergic conjunctivitis and another sinus infection so the asthma is kicking up again.
 
Thanks to Denise!!!

Very nice... but where is the bedazzled belt??
 

Debbie - I hope you feel better very soon!

Robyn & Deb - don't you hate it when parents form a little kingdom around their child's activities??? :( They can be so nasty! Sorry you guys (and Chris) are having to go through this!
 
Hi everyone. Long day here and I'm just too tired to respond to everything, so.....

YAY for ME tags.

:( for the team/pta PITAS.

:grouphug: for sickness/illness.

:wizard: for all the home improvements to be completed soon.

Kristine - love the picture. Didn't you say her report was on Krista McAuliffe? If so, she never made it to the moon. Just a minor detail. ;)
 
she is doing a written report on Christa McAuliffe...part 2 is an oral report whereas she is supposed to pretend that she is an astronaut

I see. I can't wait to hear how it goes. Good luck to her!
 
I got my ME tags today!!!:figment: :figment:


Can't wait to get my "package"! Janet-you get luggage tags with a package-not just the stickers for ME but a real plastic tag that you can put your address on.:banana:

Yay for ME tags! :cool1:

That is SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Kristine, that looks great!! :thumbsup2

My SIL had an ultrasound today and they don't even see a need to do a biopsy on her breast so that is great news!

That's wonderful! :goodvibes

Evening everyone,

Elizabeth - :hug: I'll keep your Mom in my prayers, my mom and my MIL both had breast cancer, with two totally different outcomes. My MIL was lucky that they found it early and only had a lumpectomy followed by radiation. She is doing fantastic. My mom didn't find hers until it had already spread through her lympnodes and had also gone into her bones, she didn't make it a year after her diagnosis, so get your Mom treated ASAP so that we can celebrate her having the same outcome as my MIL with you.

Kristine - your little astronaut looks great!

Feel better, Debbie! I wish I knew if this is early or late. :sad2: Hopefully we will know more after Wednesday.

Very nice... but where is the bedazzled belt??

:rotfl2:

I just got off the phone with my aunt. She said she will call my mom again and ask about going to the oncologist with her. My aunt is worried about my youngest sister and how she is going to handle my mom's illness. My aunt also cautioned me to make sure my mother doesn't let anyone else handle her finances and so forth. Obviously I am going to push for medical power of attorney and guardianship of my sister, but if my mother refuses there isn't much I can do. She doesn't have any sort of paperwork done - not a will or appointment of guardian or anything like that. She would be wise to look into all of those documents and get them into place before she needs them.
 
Thanks to Denise!!!

SO I have a burr up my back side today. I guess after the girls go to bed it will be me, pete, and a bottle of something. (yes pete the iron! :rotfl: )

I think I'll invest in pry bars...that way they can pry the stick out of their butts and join the real world :banana: :banana:
 
I guess I made some progress today. I covered what is left of the furniture and sanded the areas that I had already applied the durabond to. What a mess that little bit of sanding made. I must have been quite a sight in my ski goggles, dust mask and rubber gloves :lmao: After the dust settled a bit I vacuumed everything that I could and cleaned the countertops etc. I think it took me 1 1/2 hours to clean up less than 30 minutes of sanding. From there Chris dug out some more of the crack and I applied durabond to everything else that needs to be done. I'll apply another coat in the morning and we should be able to sand again by tomorrow afternoon. I would really like to be painting by Sunday. Once we get through the dust mess life will be MUCH easier. It sucks to know that we will need to sand at least twice more before all is said and done and that is best case scenerio.
 
It's so funny that you chose the word "patience". That is exactly what I need. I get so impatient and frustrated with her, and I hate to be that way because that was the way my father treated her.

It is just so hard when I tell her something and she does the opposite. It is like dealing with Princess. I am worried about how she will approach this because her mindset and perception of things is very screwy. That is because she endured almost 40 years of being belittled and controlled by my father. She would much rather ignore something (anything - not just this) and let it spiral completely out of control instead of trying to solve it.

When I took her to an attorney about getting a divorce she just sat and listened, then she thanked the guy and said "I believe I'll just stay married." And she did, and things got worse and worse and worse until she finally lost her house. Eventually a guy she had done some part-time work for offered to help her. He referred her to an attorney who worked pro-bono but made such an incredible mess of things that my mom was completely destitute and had NO child support coming in. ExMomboss offered repeatedly to help her, but she wouldn't take the offer. It's almost like she is thumbing her nose at me, to see how far she can deviate from what I tell her. Then she comes back and tells me I was right. :headache:

Patience.
:wizard: for Patience.
Robyn I can understand being frustrated about this, how rude!

Chris was in a similar situation tonight. He had volunteered to be assistance coach for the boys lacrosse team. The woman that is president of the club said that they already had enough coaches. He went to the organizational meeting and the head coach told him that he did need help and that he would love Chris to work with the defense. So tonight he shows up with his stick and his shorts and was told first that he needed to have a background check run then he was told that they don't need his help at all. To make things worse the parents aren't even allowed in the gym during practice. This is something that he was really looking forward to doing with the boys and they were looking forward to it too. He did say that they coaches seemed to do a good job tonight, but that he felt like an *** having showed up in shorts with a stick. He also felt like they have their own little click and he feels left out. :confused:

I am sorry Robyn and Chris (and boys) that the volunteering didn't work out:hug: :hug:


I probably shouldn't tell you this but it seemed to take my SIL a very long time. She had chemo for a long time and then had something like 6 or 8 weeks of daily radiation. Then she chose to have reconstructive surgery-she had baloons implanted so they could stretch her skin. It was a longer but in the end easier process. This started when I was pregnant with Joe and she has been cancer free (haven't heard if she's gotten an answer about her bad mamo yet) since so that was 8 years ago.

Ugh....:headache:

UGH....poor Chris!:headache:

I am glad you are reading up on it. Not all Dr know everything and sometimes pt's can bring up something for them to look into or makes them think.
Find yourself some blogs or web groups to join so you get info straight from other people and how they did with it.
many prayers for your entire family.



I am looking into all this now, thank you for the help.


We are having an issue with the "class mom" like this right now and so a few of us moms have decided to just sit back and add our help at the last minute (so we don't get shot down or told to shut up in so many words) and do our best to rimind her that is for the kids, not the glory of the person "running" the show.
Thanks, guys! It's a stupid snack list and it seems she is all bent out of shape that I "went behind her back"! I replied to her email that since she had taken care of the snack list that I saw no reason to be the "team mom", because honestly that is the only responsibility is the snack list. So, she sent out another email tonight thanking Eric and another dad for stepping in and helping them coach. And she went on to address the confusion on the snack list and feels that it is best to keep her list as that way a parent can choose whether or not they want to provide snack. So if no one choose to then the girls wouldn't have snack. That mentality is a little lost on me, but what do I know. For the past few years we have been assigned a game and if it didn't work then you found someone to trade with, no big deal. But every family should provide for one game, that seems only fair. She then tells everyone to contact me via email if they would like to sign up for the last 2 dates that are open. But the email address she gave them has my name misspelled so I won't be getting any emails! I have to give it to her and the assistant coach that they volunteered to coach. Our team was coachless until they decided to help. They know nothing about soccer, which makes things a bit tough. But they stepped in when no one else did. So I think that is great. But I just can't understand the drama over something so silly.

:lmao:somehow I just couldn't get the whole rhinestones in space theme to jive!!
Great job on the picture!! Kirsten's a cutie!

Thanks Elin! It's stupid and I've decided I've wasted enough energy on it.

Hi all,

Some pictures from Easter. Funny how those little guys move around!!! My battery went dead before I could have pictures taken with the other two boys.

Great pics, and you look great!!

I pray for your mom to have the clarity to see that you all have her best interests at heart and are trying to make this difficult time she is facing a little easier. :wizard:
 
Robyn - Pack your own snack for your child. Problem solved! ;) :rotfl2:
I guess I don't get the whole thought process behind making one person bring snacks each time for the whole team. Don't get me wrong, that's how it worked when DS played soccer, too. It just seems like having everyone bring their own snack would cut down on the drama! :confused3

Deb - The thought of sanding gives me stress! :scared: I hope you guys are able to get through it on the timeline you are imagining! :wizard:
 
im home, finally!
