Misty - Your puppy is so cute!!!

I loved the mother's ring - was that your jeriber?

Wendy - Was it Norah who was getting sick? Is everyone well now?

I don't even watch Grey's, but you guys almost have me curious!

Thanks for praying for DH's dad. He is still in the hospital, but doing well.


Stacey--River is still the number one spot on our list. What do I need to do to get the baby on the list as well. We are just talking--as of now we wouldn't even know who to ask lol. Still just thinking.

I already have you on the list for January with the baby, right? And ASAP with Joshua. Will you need care during the summer though? A mom called the other day wanting to know where she was on our 2 year old list - I hate telling people, "Sorry, you are like number 22 and maybe you should try when your child turns 3." There is such a need in Hattiesburg for quality centers. Next year we are going to go for our NAEYC accreditation. We pretty much do the things they require anyway.

Hey, can I go with you?? Please, please, please. Seriously--have a great trip. We are buying a harness bear for Joshua for our trip in 16 days. Not sure how it is going to work, but better than a lost child.

You have a trip in 16 days! Wow I didn't realize it was so soon. Is that spring break? How long are you staying? Where are you staying? And most importantly where are you eating?

Where has Melissa (Katinhat) been?

May I please get a woo hooty! I ran into someone today whom I haven't seen in a while. SHe said wow you lost alot of weight. You look five years younger. It was great because I was getting very discouraged about the whole plateau thing going on. So if after 15 lbs I look 5 years younger, I figure I'll look like I'm 8 years old by the time I'm done!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

WOOOHOOOTY

I agree one hundred percent to be careful on picking a daycare and I absolutley love what you did at each of the schools. There should be more parents like you out there making there voices heard and ?'s asked.

I used to work in day care that was going to be my future but I changed all that back in 2004 I had enough with centers and there methods and parents. It the kids were for at least 8 years was the only reason I woke up but not even they could keep there grasp on me to stay.

First from a teachers point, some of those kids look at us the teachers like the parents we had them from 7am to 6pm. Now I know its hard and people have to make a living but I'll tell you this the kids I had were well off even if one parent or no parent worked. It seemed like they had these kids just to say "Hey I have a kid" and could careless that they only so them for a total of 4 hours max a day. Some of the kids would even slip and call us mom.

Now thats my feel on daycares and I'll tell you this.... I will never have my daughter in Daycare for more than 2 days a week. I actually did that for 2 months and now shes home with me again because it wasnt worth the money and the school to me was not perfect and like since being in daycare, my standards are set so high to the point that she probably only go to a center that I ran. She can wait till Pre- k we are just doing storytime and mommy and me stuff .


I agree with everything Christine said. As a director, I see all perspectives. I know that most teachers are not there for the money (if they are, they do not last long!) Working in a room with 10 toddlers all day is no cake walk. There are many days that 5 teachers call in sick and then what do you do? We shuffle and move people and do all we can to keep ratios down. This year we did hire 2 full time subs that float everyday and fill in where we need them - that has really helped. It is a constant balancing act: keep ratios down, keep tuition reasonable, pay teachers well, keep everyone happy. Until I took over as a director, I had no idea how hard running a daycare is. You have got to love kids and see it as a ministry.

I wonder if Wendy has posted her "Goodbye" video yet!?
 
I only have a sec because it took so long to catch up.One thing I have to say is that there are good day care centers out there.I work in one that has become(with a new director) a great one.We are a christain nonprofit daycare and our ratios are below what state allows.My DD hates it when she misses "school".My mom is her teacher:goodvibes but I like all the teachers in the center.That being said my, kids were never in daycare as an infant.No matter what the ratio I liked having my babies at home so I did child care in my home when they were small.BUT I had that option and not everyone does.

UM,HAve a great trip!!:cool1:

Misty,your puppy is precious.I would be a dog person if they would stay that way.
 
:sad2: :sad1: :sad: You will not believe the incredibly STUPID thing I did!!!!! I have been editing our Disneyphotopass pictures online for the last week - you know adding borders and stuff. I was going to order the CD. I knew they expired last night and had planned to order when I got home from church. I forgot and remembered tonight. They are GONE! :sad: When they say they will expire, they mean it. Which is contrary to what a couple of the photographers said...they said they usually don't expire for at least a couple of months. Nope, they expire! So, I guess I need to go back and get some more pics.:sad2:
 
I forgot to say that I dread tomorrow's weigh in.AF and a busy schedule has thrown me off slightly this week.Monday I was up 4 1/2 lbs from Friday:faint: Ball season has started and I have to get better prepared.I am also having a birthday party for Rachel Saturday and have done NOTHING!!Anyone feel like making a pink heart shaped winnie the pooh Minnie Mouse cake??:scared:

I missed the deadline for ours too! Had pictures at MNSSHP! Sorry, it stinks doesn't it?

Also, I've been wanting to get my mom a Mother's Ring for years now, but I really can't stand the styles I see in stores or catalogs. Do you think a jeweler would custom make a ring? Or do you have other suggestions of places to go? It'd be from me and my DB and family so I'm ok with spending a decent amount of $$$$. All I want is a solid band with 5 stones (one for each kid/grandkid) in it - not too big but big enough that you know what the stone is :lmao: . I would like to be able to add to it so she could add my kiddos on it someday but thats not a deal breaker. I think she would :love: it!

Thanks Peeps!

My DH designed one for me a couple of years ago and the jeweler made it for him. I will get a picture and post it for you.

I really like this style because the stones are big enough that you can tell what they are and I think extra bagettes could be added as kids are born. Just an idea for you.[/QUOTE]

THAT'S IT!!!! I've been wanting a mother's ring forever!!! That one is perfect!!!! May I copy???? Pretty please? My order would go emerald, amethest, diamond, peridot, emerald.....the diamond was baby #1 who died at 6 mo. pregnant!!!! So I always pictured honouring him with that.

Beautiful!!!!!
 
I'm opting out of weigh in tomorrow. Can I?
Why?????? I'll be on the road trip from heck!!!!

TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!! 11 more hours!


Report to LexMelinda who has graciously accepted my plea for a substitute.


Thanks Melinda!!!!!

I'll be back to say good bye later. I hate goodbyes!

Spongie, thanks for sharing the darling wuppy pics!

Jeriber, what a gorgeous mother's ring. The design reminds me of a tiara. Very Disneyisb!

Okay... I did the coolest thing last night at the gym (and no, it doesn't have anything to do with the hunky-trainer-dude;) ). I went over to the free weight section and found a dumbell they weighed the closest to the amount I have lost. Picking up that thing was a real boost in the perspective department! Give it a try!

Go, Dene' - GREAT motivational idea! I truly think the key to liking exercise is finding some kind of exercise you enjoy. For me that is exercising in the pool. It is the ONLY thing I've found that I can consistently do.

Ok, I need to vent!!! I just got a call from someone who was a close friend of my family a long time ago. Actually he was close to my uncle, so around the family alot. Anyway, he had the nerve to rudely ask me why no one told him about my grandma dying. Ok, first of all that wasn't my job to notify him, and he hasn't had anything to do with my uncle in about 10 years . And he has the nerve to call and demand why he wasn't notified! Excuse me we're grieving and it was in the paper. UGGGGGG!!!:sad2: I was having a really bad day today anyway, because I always went to visit her on thursdays while my kids were at dance. So I was having a pitty party. Anyway, I needed to vent so that I don't eat the cake sitting on my counter!

You may now go back to your regular programing!..............:)
Vent away. We have had this sort of thing happen in my family too. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Have a Dream Come True trip, Uma!!!!!
 
UM's good-bye video is posted! Everyone needs to go see it - it is brilliant! Love ya, Wendy! Have a great trip!!!! We will miss you.:grouphug:

Good night peeps!
 
UM - It isn't goodbye, it's just see ya' later! :wave2: Loved your video. I had a little trouble with the audio, but that could be my 'puter. :confused3 :badpc: You looked lovely and quite skinny. :thumbsup2 Hope you have a great time and I hope it seems like a two hour trip. :drive: ;)

I think I am going to hide from weigh in tomorrow. The green goblins have brought me my spoils. :sad2: I ordered from everyone who asked. I have like 10 boxes now. Bad, Bad, Bad Allie! :scared: :crazy2: :headache: :mad:

:hug: I am so sorry about your pictures. I know that is heartbreaking for you. I bet you had some good ones too. Well, that is one more reason to have to go back! :scratchin :cheer2: I hate it when I "forget" things. It seems like it happens more and more these days. The ole' memory just ain't what it used to be. :confused3
 
I'm going to go ahead and post my Tuesday WW weigh-in results earlyish:

2 and 1/4 pounds LOST

Night, Peeps!

See ya later, Uma. Sniff. Sniff. I'll miss you!
 
I had alot of peeps to quote, but I'm so tired!

You who wished us a nice/safe/great trip.....thankyou!!!!

You who lost your photopass pictures (Stacey) so sorry!

I'll probably check in in the morning. If not, I'll see you all on the 28th!

Good luck on the weigh ins!

I betcha our dudes are the BIGGIES again!


Good Luck, new guy!!!!!!!!!!!!


Bye bye peeps!!!! I love you soooo much!!!!!(pray for my sanity and my family's safety and my children to remain calm and quiet on the drive, please!)
 
:woohoo:-6.2 lbs!!!:woohoo:

Woo-hooty for me! I do give some credit to not eating very much because of having my wisdom teeth out, but my WW leader said that I still deserve some of the credit because I didn't eat junk or use it as en excuse to chug milkshakes and other not-so-WW friendly foods. I guess she is right. So that brings me to a total loss so far of 15.2 lbs! I'm noticing a difference in my work pants - they are really really loose on me. I may be in a smaller size soon.

Off to sleep :cloud9:

You have a trip in 16 days! Wow I didn't realize it was so soon. Is that spring break? How long are you staying? Where are you staying? And most importantly where are you eating?

Where has Melissa (Katinhat) been?

Yes the newest addition will need to start in January--:sad: Joshua ASAP--only will send summer if we have to--other than that we are not going to do it. I do not know how you guys handle this. THere is much, much need for quality places. I have looked at all the ones that people say are the best and I question why they think that. At least Joshua likes to go to school. I am happy to see that you guys are going to go for the NAEYC accreditation-it is a booger of one to get. I have no clue what you guys charge for and infant and a toddler--pm the prices please :thumbsup2 I am afraid that I will be like this when I see it :crazy2: :sad: but it is what we must do.

I have not seen Melissa on in a while. Hope all is well.

:sad: Sorry that this happened to you. By any chance did you give your camera to photo guy as well. I know you would not have all the extras, but at least maybe some of the shots.
