I have this in my Netflix queue...should be coming anytime! Should I be scared? She scares the heck out of me...LOL

Happy Birthday Wendy!

Sending pixie dust to those in need! I had a bunch of multiquotes last night and lost them all...ticked me off! Now I don't have time to go back and figure them all out...while at work!

Hugs & Happy thursday to all!
Non stress pixie dust to you all....

Hey AmySue, you know I'm not bringing chocolate to the candy buffet either, and you know it's cuz I'm thinking of you!

Awww, thanx. But don't we really know that it's to support your "smoking" habit?

No chocolate from this girl, either.
XL - Really? What were you thinking, Callie?
I have my shirt. And Breezy's, too. But I don't know how to get the transfer and iron it on. Did one of the Divas offer to do it if I send my shirt and cash? I could add some other sort of goody if desired. Please?

I am happy as anything to iron on the transfers, but don't have access to a color printer. If there ends up being a need, I will bring my iron/pressing cloth to the meet and great and iron away, heck I will be in my jammies, how more at home do I have to feel?

Good morning ladies!!

I have a sick little girl with me right now.
I'm so tired, mentally and physically. Hopefully ya'll are having a good week. Tomorrow is Friday!! It's almost here....

I am sorry to hear that. I am tired today as my DD9 kept having nightmares all night, and I ended up sharing a queen sized bed with she, my DH and three cats. It was blanket wars all night.

Rough night with the kiddo last night. She is finally at the age where the girls are getting nasty and she was sad and upset as this one or that one won't play and she feels that she has no friends. I know it is all normal, but as a parent, how do you all handle it with grace. I want to run in and go all whoop a** on those snotty little girls who made my baby cry.

NO worries, I would NEVER do that, but boy oh boy hurts my heart.

I bet her day will all sunshine and roses today and she will have 20 best friends. SIGH.

I think your daughter and my sister could be bffs! Anais is more sensitive than Diana or I was when were her age. If anyone would tease us we'd just let it roll off our back and say "who cares" (in my best SNL's Fred Armisen as Joy Behar voice) but Anais cries and gets really sad. What does Claire like to do? Anais is really into drawing and that seems to be her outlet. Her drawings reflect her mood.

Happy Birthday Wendy!!!

Hugs to Amy and Beth! Hope your baby girls are happy and healthy today.

I was sick yesterday myself. Not sure why. Just really tired and a YUCKY tummy. I'll spare you the details. I'm feeling a little better this morning, but still kind of tired.

And I haven't lost a pound. I don't know why. I hardly eat at all. Plus, I'm so sick of freezing everyday. I mean.....I'm COLD! I have goosebumps all the time.

I had an IEP meeting this morning for Ryan. It went really well. He's making great progress in just about every area. He's even able to do some regular grade level work in math and vocabulary. It's only "some" grade level work, but hey, it's better than none. He actually scored 100% on a 4th grade "human skeleton" vocabulary quiz the other day. She was doing some one-on-one work with him and decided to give him the quiz just to see how he would score on it, never dreaming he would score a 100% or anything close to that. She was completely thrilled. He's still behind his same grade peers in everything, but as I said, he's making good progress.....he's made so much progress that he doesn't qualify for the summer school program this year (first time ever that he didn't qualify for it).


I don't have a black t-shirt or sweatshirt yet. Nor do I have any jammies yet, so the possibility of me showing up looking trailer-trashy at the pajama party is getting better all the time.

Back to school work. It's the big push in my final week of this class (Reading and language arts teaching methods and lesson planning). Lots of work left. UGH.

That is so awesome Capri! I love it when I hear GOOD NEWS at IEP's!

Hope you are feeling better also - and warm up! I haven't bought any pj's either. But might just come in sweats and a tee anyway!
And I haven't gotten anything for the pillowcase exchange either!




I can't believe that 2 weeks from today I will be on my way to WDW!!!!!! Rich and I will be going (w/ no kids!) and meeting my good friend from college who lives in GA. She and her hubby are also huge Disney fans. The four of us are going to have a blast doing whatever we want!! And we are staying at the Poly! Anyone ever stay there??

 

[kelmac284]

Howdy gals!

First off Happy Happy birthday to our gal Wendy!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday!!!

Beth I am sorry to hear your little one is still sickies! I hope she starts feeling better soon for BOTH your sake. I know how miserable those stomach flus can be on EVERYONE involved. ((hugs))!

I am back from my loop and got my safe dep box all squared away. What a pain in the patooty that was! SHEESH! I didn't realize there was so much paperwork involved with getting a stupid metal box LOL. But it is done at least. Plus I opted NOT to put the passports in there because after seeing what a PAIN it is to access the thing I decided to keep them out because ours need to be renewed next year and I don't want to have to mess with it. The papers I put in there won't need to be accessed at ALL! For a LONG time.

Anyway I also stopped at the post office and Shane got his next test date although he said he thinks he is going to ask for an extension because it is for next week and usually he gets the paper with 2 or 3 weeks notice and he doesn't feel like he has enough time to study plus he is JUST now getting back to work a bit and he doesn't want to have to take another day off work! SOOO he will have to put it off yet again but it is prob for the best at this point or else he might fail again. And we FINALLY got the UE check but it was WRONG! They were supposed to make Christmas week be his waiting period week and pay him for New Year's week and then give him a partial payment for last week since he worked a few hours but they made New Year's week his waiting period and only paid him 100 bucks for last week! UGH! Plus his check from working this week was REALLY puney too cuz he missed two days and only worked partial days the rest of the time AND had child support taken out so I was expecting like 1000 and get 300! UGH! At least it is better than nothing but when you haven't gotten paid in 3 weeks and then you get THAT it hurts! Oh well hopefully he will keep working and we can get back to normal! He won't have any more child support taken out at least till Feb so if he works tomorrow and mon and tues he may ACTUALLY get a full check next week! Crossing fingers!!!

Anyway today is the girls short day so I am just doing some chores round this joint till it's time to pick them up and then looking forward to more good tv tonight. Sad but true LOL.

((hugs)) to those that need them and hope everyone else is having a good day!!

Your last statement is so true! Kids are wacky that way, girls especially! I'd take 10 boys over 1 girl. Having 3 boys first and then Kallie made it even more obvious. I love Kallie to death of course, but girls are so mean and moody compared to boys. Kallie is so sweet & nice and always trying to be the "in betweener" when friends are having issues. Even since 1st grade girls have been mean and nasty to each other. I just don't get it. Even yesterday (6th grade), she came home bummed because she was trying to do something right in class, and her friends didn't want to and "ditched her" after class. She hates confrontation and it seems the more I try to teach her to just be kind to everybody and try to ignore those being mean....it comes back on her. She has lots of friends and is happy most of the time, but its always a handful of mean girls that try to get the rest in turmoil. I hate drama like that.

Happy Birthday Wendy!!!

The first 10 trips we took to WDW was without kids...LOL People thought we were crazy and asked why we wanted to go there without kids! We had a blast. We've had fun times taking the kids too, of course, but its a whole different vacation without them
I LOVE the Poly! Its one of our favorites I love being on the monorail loop as well as having the boat option too. I love laying in the hammocks on the beach and they have great food everywhere inside. Have a wonderful time!!

Good afternoon. Anais and I ran late this morning because the alarm didn't go off! I've cleaned the kitchen and started putting the Christmas stuff away. The tree is naked now so I need my sister's bf to throw it out for us. I'm going to get dinner started because tonight Anais has violin class.

the movements were simple it was just th no breaks that were hard plus she had 2 people doing the movements...one the easier way and one the advanced way. I thought it was a very good video. Good luck with it!

HAPPY

[prettyprincessbelle]

For those of you have a CVS near you, they're having a 50% to 75% on select makeup (L'Oreal, Rimmel, Almay, etc.). I scored on $1.98 lip glosses and .86 cent blushes!

Happy Birthday, Wendellini!!!

Beth, I hope you sicky girl feels better soon. You too.

AmySue, to your DD too. Girls can be mean, but I think you should just go whoop some booty.

Capri, I hope you feel better soon too!!!!!! Congrats to Ryan for his 100%!!!!!

Everyone else I you girls.

 

[tinkermell]

Beth, so sorry to hear about your daughter. Sounds like the flu is going around your house. Try to get your rest while you can.

Capri, That is so heartwarming to hear about Ryan. I bet he is so proud too!

AmySue, I have 2 DDs who also went through that junk. Little girls growing up, are very challenging. It's the hormones kicking in. I hope today, is a better one for her.

Jill, I agree.........boys are easier!

Tonight we are going out for my oldest DD Becky's birthday. She is turning 27 tomorrow! She is finally beginning to look pregnant. She is all baby. It's so cute.

Becci, That sounds like so much fun. Going to WDW would be Dave's last choice of vacations with just me. Oh well...............he likes other kind of places. Our favorite so far has been in the South. I love it there.

Since I am short on time right now, I'm going to piggy back on everything Mel said. Thanks Mel!!! And have fun at the birthday party tonight! I love pregnant bellies. Not in a weird way....although that does sound odd....

Anyway, Courtney thanks for the info on the makeup at CVS. I have one down the street. I will check it out.

TTYL!!

 

[disney-inspired]

Going to get dressed, I've been in sweat pants and a sweatshirt all day because my house is ice cold!

Kitchen and den are clean. I've put away all the ornaments, the nativity scene, Christmas lights and dinner is done. I'm off to pick up Anais.

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday. If you're not, remember, tomorrow is Friday!

Hello Divas!

Just wanted to tell you all that unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make the trip in February. Nothing bad or anything.... I hope you all have a great time (and maybe have a corn dog for me!!)

 

[kelmac284]

Oh NO Theresa! I am so bummed! I hope everything is ok! We will all miss you!

No way Theresa!! Is this for sure; no chance? Well, we will truly miss miss miss you!!

If there is anything any of us can do to make the trip easier, like I could invite you on MY scavy team......? (All the cool girls want to be Booty Babes).

Well, I am sorry you won't make it....Hugs and bummer.

Theresa - you didn't tell me? Me, who shares your birthday? Me, who only planned to go to NR because you wanted to celebrate our birthday there?


I hope you'll pm me and fill me in.

 

[21yankees]

Happy Birthday Wendy!

Beth - I hope everyone is feeling better in your house very soon.

Theresa - I'm sorry you won't be joining us in February. I'm hoping to attend the Vegas trip in June (still working that out).

I hope everyone is having a nice day. The good news is that tomorrow is Friday.

I'm also not bringing chocolate to the party, don't get me wrong I am a huge chocolate fan/lover, just thought I'd do something different.
