Girls Only Trip ~ OLD Thread, see link in first post for new one

[mommaU4]

Hello everyone!!! I'm finally able to post, apparently, so I wanted to touch bases with you.
I am going to have to bow out of a large majority of the trip this year. Girl Scouts are having their big encampment that weekend, and as a leader I can't miss this particular event. I will come for the meet and greet, and hopefully Sunday afternoon/evening, Monday, etc. But, I won't be there any of Friday or Saturday.
Luckily, I guess, I had not been able to find a roommate yet, so I won't be letting anyone down there.
Big hugs to everyone who needs a hug.

Happy bday to Bree and I'm glad things are going well for Heather's ultra sound.

Well, that's a bummer but understandable. Hope the big encampment goes well and is fun.

I'll check the lists and take you off anything for Fri and Sat. At least you'll make part of it.

If you need somewhere to stay sunday night and monday night you can stay in our room! Capri is leaving sunday during the day so we would have a roll a way available. Just let me know.

Hi everyone, I have a request on behalf of the candy buffet. I've received 17 responses thus far and the majority of people are bring some sort of chocolate. Some of you have asked what you can bring so in response here are some things I think would be fun to have at in the candy buffet and sort of what I need to pull together the whole theme I was hoping to have for the candy buffet:

• pixie sticks
• gumdrops
• button candies (usually pink, blue, & green on a sheet of paper)
• salt water taffy
• swirl lollipops
• gummy bears

and any other fun candies you can think of!

Thank you!

I laughed when I read most are bringing chocolate.....boy thats a sign, huh? I remember how pretty, colorful and festive the table looked with all those treats!!

Good morning and happy Tuesday everyone!


Anyway thanks so much Heather for the thoughts about the whole Lynn situation. We got a call from her mom's latest husband (no 5) and apparently she had run off from the people she was staying with sometimes last week and is now with her mom again. NOT the best situation because her mom is an alcoholic and drug addict and there is a LOT of domestic violence in that household. In fact when Shane got a hold of her she said that after the husband called us at 3 AM!! He and the mom had gotten in a fist fight over Lynn being there and the cops were called and he was arrested for beating up her mom. NICE place! Her mom has been arrested for beating people up too. Lynn told us she NEVER wanted to talk to her mom again after everything she had done to her and sure as heck she is right back with her. It just disgusts me as a parent after EVERYTHING Shane and I have done for her to try and give her a decent life and she just RUNS back to chaos. We were trying to help her get into the military as that was her last hope of going anywhere but she just doesn't want to DO anything. I don't know I give up. She will be 18 the first of Feb and even though we still have custody and are still resp for her till then Shane said if that is where she wants to be he is not going to fight it anymore. She is going to RUIN her life but we are both sick of fighting it. Now we just hope she can get through the next few weeks without getting into trouble. Technically she is still on probation till she turns 18 but unless she gets into trouble Shane is just going to let it go. I think she is making a HUGE mistake but you can't tell her anything and I am done beating my head against the wall. I KNEW she would eventually end back with her mom because she has burned every single other bridge here but so be it. Anyway I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers and hopefully this is the end of it and I can just move on and stop worrying about it!


I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Take care and talk soon.

Sorry for the continued drama Kelly! I'm sure its exhausting

Wendy and Jill are you still interested in doing this tour:

Segway tour, Sun. @ 7:15 a.m.
1. Wendy/Wendypooh22
2. Tammy
3. Jill/4fosterkids


If so, one of you will need to call and make the reservations at the 30 day mark. I don't think anyone else is going to sign up for that. Most who wanted to do it, already did it last year. Just an FYI.

I can go either way....I have done many segway tours and love them. If nobody else wants to go, I am totally fine with that

Here ya go, the first is Kurt Warner and the 2nd is Brett Favre. There's also a great article about Kurt Warner, who is a strong Christian, here.

Oh look.......its my dreamy 2nd husband! Hi Honey!!

Don't you hate it when real life takes over? lol Sorry you can't make it, but sounds like you can sneak in a little time still.

Healthy & happy pixie dust to those in need
Happy Tuesday! I can't wait for the start of Idol tonight. I'm not a big TV lover, but that is one of my fave's

good day so far...had a meeting with my WiiFit and then did Wii Activer personal trainer. Probably going to feel that tomorrow...lol Lots of laundry done, beds stripped, bills paid and a few last boxes ready to go to storage. I found Kallie's pink princess Christmas tree on her desk still...oops! I'm going to run to Nordstroms rack and peruse the workout clothing racks. I have a Nordie's gift card from Christmas and I love the Rack
Be good to yourselves today........drink water and eat fruit

Hi everyone, I have a request on behalf of the candy buffet. I've received 17 responses thus far and the majority of people are bring some sort of chocolate.
!

The reason you got that response is because last year there wasn't much chocolate at all. I brought some and it disappeared in a heartbeat!

The more chocolate the better I always say (if you're going to be bad).

I'd like to add to your list some other choices:

tiny boxes of Craisens like they gave out at Treat or Treat
Any kind of dried fruit
nuts
sunflower seeds
breath mints or mints
wrapped ginger candies for motion sickness on rides

Happy super Tuesday divas!!

Today I’m working and that’s it for now!

Deb – I need to start keeping track of what I’m eating and what triggers it. I was eating fast food A LOT (before the new year), but it didn’t start hurting until 2 weeks ago, so I can’t pin point if a particular food triggers it. The doctor said it could be my gall bladder and just because I’m skinny we can’t rule it out. But she did ask if it hurt all the way to my back because a gall bladder attack does that, but mine doesn’t. I had acid reflux one time and it hurt my chest and when I burped I tasted my food (gross) and it burned all up my chest. I’m guessing she may be right about the indigestion, because only until recently have I had gastric issues. I got really bad heart burn for the first time last month and a little before that is when I got acid reflux for the first time. I’m normally pretty tough when it comes to my tummy and all this is happening at once. I guessing I’m getting older?
.

I will talk to you in PM.

MELODY - thx for asking. Once you get on medication for hypo thyroid, you don't have any side effects - at least, I don't. I'm on a very very low dosage though. And unlike other things, the medication actually prevents a worsening of the disease - meaning you are keeping serious developments at bay. That's another reason I try to inform all my gfs of the importance of checking it if you have any of the signs: coldness in hands or feet, sleepy in the middle of the day, weight gain.

I laughed when I read most are bringing chocolate.....boy thats a sign, huh?

A sign there wasn't enough chocolate last year.

They are both VERY good looking. I just saw Brett Favre in Something About Mary last night!

That movie is so funny! And he looks so young in it!!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

After work I'm going to CVS to pick up my medicine and get some makeup because they're have a sale! Woohoo!

Thanks courtney that means a lot. People on the outside of this whole thing don't always understand but when you are living it, it can be a real nightmare. But I REALLY appreciate your understanding and I just hope that we can finally just move on and live our lives somewhat peacefully soon!

And I am sorry I meant to comment about your condition in my post earlier but I sure hope the docs can figure out what is wrong and help you! I have recently had those same issues but have been reluctant to go in because I don't want to go through ANY more tests! With all my OTHER issues I have had SO much I am just tired of doctors and tests etc. So I have been being bad and putting it off. But I am glad you are getting it looked into and I hope it is no big deal and they can get it fixed for you. I know how much it can hurt! ((hugs))

You’re welcome, Kelly. I’m sure everything will work out for you guys and you can live in peace and not worry anymore.

Thank you! I hope you can get your condition resolved too. It does suck going to the doctors a lot, especially getting tests and blood drawn and all that. I can understand why you’ve been putting off. I hope you go soon though so you won’t be in any more pain!

Courtney, hope your dad's pink eye gets better and that you can figure out the tummy trouble cause.

Thank you, Beth! I’ve been calling my Dad the pink eye pirate, lol.

I just wanted to say that you all are some of the best friends a girl could hope for.

I love you girls!!!!

Have a wonderful day.

Awww!

Good Morning!

Buenos dias Sarahahaha!

Courtney, I hope the OTC stuff helps out. It does kind of sound like some kind of acid situation. Our family is famous for stomach issues. I blame my Dad. Hugs to you!

Thanks, Melody! Lol, geesh your poor Dad!! Hugs back, thank you I needed a hug!

Courtney, I hope you are still feeling better today. Oh, and if it's truly heartburn that the doctor is worried about, she might want you take medicine everyday whether you have symptoms that day or not. Prevention is worth an ounce of cure!

Thank ya, Heather! That’s a good idea for taking it everyday, I’m going to start taking it as soon as I go pick it up (after work!)

Oooo, I love dried fruit and those ginger candies, such a good idea Donna!!!!!!

Oh look.......its my dreamy 2nd husband! Hi Honey!!

Hey, we can share, right? Callie and Tina share Billy...

Afternoon girls!

Jill thanks for the thoughts. Lynn was supposed to call and her/her mom was supposed to "talk" to shane about what was transpiring but of course THAT didn't happen and she is supposed to be returning the phone he bought her because we have a 2 year contract on it and she was supposed to be paying part of our bill (we have a family plan). I told him just to cancel the phone but he says he is going to wait and see if she brings it back. YEAH right I will hold my breath on THAT one. His ex has never followed through on ANYTHING she has said she was going to do in 11 years so I am NOT going to believe THAT one. So we shall see but I have a feeling we will end up shutting it off. I just hope she doesn't run the bill into oblivion in the meantime! That is the LAST thing we need right now when he is off work. Don't get me started on WHY he decided to buy all new phones right now either. He did this during that week we were having problems. Lynn was staying with him and let's just say she worked him WELL that week. She convinced him to get her the phone, put her on HIS plan and was going to move in with him too. SOOO glad THAT didn't happen cuz there is NO way I would have allowed the girls to be living in THAT situation. But luckily that didn't happen. We just need to get the phone back or shut off and that will be the last thing I need to worry about. That and once she turns 18 and we are no longer liable for anything she does! I can no longer stress about it any longer. It is out of our hands and I just have to let it go!

Courtney I so know what you mean about the tests. I don't mind blood tests, in fact with some of my meds I had to have my blood drawn weekly. That doesn't bother me a bit. But for my stomach they said I might need an upper GI and THAT is what I didn't want. I have already had a lower one as well as a barium enema and a colonoscopy and THOSE tests are the nasty ones. Requiring fasting and other nasty preps. THAT is what I am putting off cuz I usually end up with migraines and sick from those things. But if it keeps bugging me I will have to break down and do it eventually. For now it hasn't been bothering me as much so I have been putting it off but I hope you have good luck getting a resolution!

It was a yucky day here today with rain and all but we got a few things done. We took the dog to the vet and got his shots but I ended up with a nasty headache and Shane wasn't able to get a doc apt so we just came home. Now we are just vegging and HOPEFULLY he will be back to work tomorrow!! I was supposed to work on the taxes but just couldn't do it today cuz of my head. I will take another stab at it tomorrow!

I just love all the talk of the planning and mom and I talked again yesterday about everything we need to do but so far it is all talk. We need to start DOING some stuff though. I told her I feel stressed cuz there is SO much that we need to do still! I am afraid I am going to forget some stuff. So hopefully SOON we will get motivated and get some stuff done!!!

Don't know about you all but I am SOOO ready! Can't wait to see everyone and just BE there! It is going to be so fun and just to sit and have some meals and see everyone sounds GREAT!

Hope everyone has a great rest of your day and talk later.

P.S. Wendy love ya too!

I wanted to publicly thank all those PMing me their understanding and support about Club 33. I'm so grateful to have such understanding friends who know how disappointed I was not to help you all out.

One person summed it up best when she said 'at least your bad news is just about lunch and not something more serious.'

Thanks for understanding everyone!

 

[KerTggr]

OK, I think we've landed on a name (took us a while, but I think it's worth the wait). Soooooo......

Cristabel, Stacie, Erin & I are:

We are disinclined to acquiesce to your request for a team name​

Kinda long, but still fun.

 

[disney-inspired]

Hiya!
Hope everyone's afternoons are going well. I went with my aunt this morning to help my grandma clean her two bathrooms before her sister comes to visit tomorrow. I arrived home and felt guilty for leaving my house untidy before going to clean someone else's house So I cleaned the den, put away laundry and cleaned the upstairs bathroom.

Now I'm off to take Anais to violin class. Adios!

Love ya Stacie!

Okay, I would like to add my plea. Some people, as in , well, ME cannot eat chocolate. So, some non-chocolate treats would be much appreciated by me. Oh, and I love me some craisins!!! And as we all know, I firmly believe it IS all about me.

I'm bored.....

Ruben and Adam aren't home, the girls are all busy doing their own thing, dishes and clothes are washed.......... I've got nothing to do.
Well, there are things to do like the garage could use cleaning, my closet could use organizing, but let's face it, that's not gonna happen.

So here I sit....
