OOH! yay!I had my coffee and my miniwheats. I am doing it with ya Kel.
I am watching Oprah now...she is busting her butt working out. I would rather walk....so I will wait til I can.I have a nice treadmill but I hate it. She's talking about her issues......bleah blah bleah.....
Crazy!
Our cut off is the end of August. Z was my Sept baby and for boys it is sooo much better if they are held back a year.But...it all depends on the kid I guess. Girls are so different...Lucy is a July baby and she is probably one of the youngest in her class...but she is in the accelerated programs.
And then Jo is right in the middle with he Jan bday.

ME too! I get tired of her whining..... and rehung art and put stuff out...I have a bunch of Basin bath bombs and they were still wrapped up. I unwrapped them hoping they'd make the paint smell go away. Jo was moaning about that smell. I am thinking I'll go to TJ MAxx and buy a clear cute glass something to put my bombs in on the side of the tub. Mmmm my hands smell yummy from touching them. 
That's the only thing about painting...the rest fell apart while my back was turned for a few hrs. The girls were supposed to clean up after dinner last night....and I found out at 9:50 pm last night that they didn't do a great job.....I am out of DW detergent too! geeze I LOVE it! 
I painted this whole house by myself.....I used to just go crazy with it....before I discovered YOU GUYS! NOW I don't have time to paint......LOL. We don't have a Lowes very close...it's Menards (HATE THEM) or Home Depot. I have found that if I don't like a color they just take the whole can back and mix me another. They sell the opened mixed colors cheap to other peeps. I don't do that often but it has happened a couple times over the years.
I fell last year stepping off of the curb on black ice....adults dont bouce like kids do... I had a huge bruise on my back...and I was soooo embarrassed
thankfully there werent too many people around when I fell and I really was ok.... 
hope your feeling better soon.... My DH is a last minute packer too...I just usually pack for him...then he cant pack any scary things that I dont like either 
I pick the colors and then we hire a painter....DH is not a fan of painting either.... all I can say is OMG!!!!
Mare I wont be looking at that snack thread any time soon...too tempting....
I bought the bomb barrel and was planning to put them all in a hurricane-type vase by the side of the tub in our new home. Problem is the house is under construction and I'm using all the bath bombs I think I need to buy two barrels in June Good Afternoon Everyone
Our weather here today is surprisingly warm for December low 40's but the awful cold will be back...
Mare Last winter I took DD and my nieces to see Mary Poppins they loved it!!! I loved it too...definately worth seeing
Channing You paint yourself!! wow...
Mare I wont be looking at that snack thread any time soon...too tempting....
Hi to everyone else...ttyl
I also grabbed some Mickey paint samples, I heard they make a cute matching game. Perfect for restaurants when I need some form of entertainment. He's lucky he's so darn cute! 
I started to not feel so well the day after our breakfast meet (which was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!! 
) and it just kept on getting worse Why is it that when our children are sick we rush them straight to the Dr. but we wait until we can't swallow? 
)
? I think I'd have the suitcase out and filled already . Hopefully the weather will be nice and warm while you're down there 
........but anything will beat this COLD Chicago weather we're having .
. Maybe it will come tomorrow......don't lose hope yet 
. Have fun walking .
.........my temperature thing read only 22 . And I don't think we're in for a warm up any time soon . Spring can't get here quick enough .
. Usually the meds for that kick in quick so I hope you feel better soon . And I totally hear ya about the doctor.......I guess we feel whatever we have will come and go quick because moms aren't supposed to get sick . But I do the same thing and wait to go until it's absolutely necessary . . I'm glad you had an awesome trip . And about your report on the HRH.......I may have to rethink staying there as I did NOT know any of that 
. It looks like an awesome hotel but I don't think I would be able to handle dogs being at the hotel at all.......let alone PEEING IN THE HALLWAY . And the other stuff...........OMG......that is just totally unbelievable . Thanks for the report and I'm glad you and your family made it back home safe .
Hi everyone
we are finally home! The drive back wasn't bad except for some traffic in GA that lasted about 1.5 hours.
Its crazy busy at work but i just wanted to say hi.
Hey, did you know they let dogs stay at the Hard Rock Hotel?
I didn't.
Did you know some of those dogs urinate in the hallway?
I didn't but i got to see it.
Did you know turn down service knocks at your door after 10:30 pm?
I didn't
Did you know there is on demand tv which includes tv shows and movies? Oh yeah and also p.orn movies which have titles and descriptions that were ...just....pretty bad.
I didn't
...luckily you can easily block the channel and listings but that was a surprise to me.
oh yeah almost forgot...
Did you know the minibar contains an intimacy kit which contains a clean up towellette
I didn't.
We had a lot of fun at Universal but there is a world of difference at the parks and hotel between them and Disney...like when we walked up to the check in desk and the cast member looked at us and said 'wazzup?'
Boy did i feel old
Hope everyone is doing great!! Happy New Year!
Um, how er interesting I'd have to wait until all my kids were old enough for R rated though. Oh my GAWD....where do they get those skanies? And they never run out!!!! There's always MORE!!!! BUSLOADS!!! What happened to Amber?? Curious minds want to know. I found a cute big glass jar type thing at Target on clearance for $7!!! So it works! It's nice and large so I need more bathbombs to fill it. That is so funny. There was nothing like that at all at PBH a few yrs ago...wonder if that's changed. Or...maybe those little perks just fit the theme of the HRH? I did know the Lowe (and I think I spelled that wrong) hotels are pet friendly. But...ick. I kinda thought peeps that brought their pets would be considerate. WHY I thought that I don't know. That is just nasty disgusting. Glad you had a fun time and safe trip home. We all can't wait for more details. Would you go back to UO? How was CityWalk? How was NYE there?? DETAILS!!!! We don't really care to go back....even DS who was aobut 14/15 at the time said he prefers WDW. He is a thrill ride lover but he said there is something special about WDW.
The Hard Rock Brand is a real party brand (vegas hotel) I bet it's hard for them to blend into a family setting. I went before kids, so I might have overlooked those things.. Did you get a free CD at check-in to listen in your room. We actually still listen to it, ours has a great mix of songs.I think that's the only thing we actually liked about the hotel . Strep is the worst! Take care and get better! We have the entire set with matching drapes. We got it all for our bridal shower. It was not cheap and I just can't see throwing it out (I'm so done with it after 10 years!) so we're going to move it all to the new house. We really want to switch to a king bed here, so for now we'll just repaint - which the walls need badly then probably next year repaint again once I switch everything around. I'd also like to change the color up a bit. I was looking at the Restoration Hardware colors, I have one sample I forgot what's it called.....it's a silver/grey/teal - very different. But for now I found some nice Baer colors. Dune yellow I think?? There goes his dinner!! Hi everyone
