Well, loooonnnnngggg day! Up at 7AM - dress 2 kids who went to bed too late - off to Easter with Mr. EB. Leave EB at 9 and sign up DS for football - what the heck is this sign up 6 months before the season crap anyway

Other gripe of the week - EVERY sport sign up is telling me they need a birth certificate with the raised official seal - SORRY but you can have a copy! At $150+ per sport, plus equipment, etc. I am not going to the Town Hall to get originals for them to keep on file and pay another $10 each for them. There is 1 "official" birth certificate in our safe and there is no need for a handful of them to be out in circulation with all the identity theft, etc. Anyway, then work 9:30-4 I had to work and had to tell my boss that I am cutting my hours from 30 to 10 per week. I am going 32 hours at my weekday job M-F 8A-3P (same hours kids will be in school) and getting off nights and weekends

Left work, went to Walgreens to pick up a script and free $25 gift card for xsfering (new store offer!), went home, made supper, had my strawberry shortcake, and now here I am. Now to respond to the daily posts........
Only about 14 pages left
okay shore I told John that before the sergury he needs to take me out for a good crap dinner.
He knew I was up to something when I kept telling how we need to wath some reruns of the deadliest catch
OK, but I would think that even a bad crab dinner wouldn't be a crap dinner

Thinking happy thoughts for the next several days/weeks/months for you!
The trick is to change your name and NOT tell them what you changed it to.
My brother was telling my 4 yo niece that if she didn't do something (I can't remember what) then he was going to be angry. Her response was "hello Mr. Angry"
And my lovely son was in the car this weekend when I got off an exit early looking for a store. We were talking about opposites - whats the op of night = day, light = dark, etc. Well I was on the MA/CT border trying to be in CT and when I said what is the opposite of Right the smart#ss part of him responds with CT is too the left

Cracked my DH up! Guess you had to be there.
I do that too. I find a really obnoxious station and turn it up really loud. The boys totally hate it! It usually stops the fighting. They spend the whole time crying, "Turn it DOWN!!"
I have been known to banish them to the way back too. They also have to face their own window.
Done #1. I get the arguement....Mommy, Michael/Victoria is looking out MY window! Nope kiddo, my car my window, both of you LOOK AT THE FLOOR!
My best punishment.....make them sit on the couch and hold hands for 10 minutes

They are not happy with that one!
Th FL was on National news. She had her kid at the car wash and was spraying the child as a form of punishment. I heard that she said some pretty nasty stuff to the kid too but I never heard the audio.
Love that she's also 5 months pregnant with #2

I also liked how they said "well she didn't spray the child at full spray"

So, she took the kid into a freaking car wash and hosed him down, not your local McDonalds and washed him up/changed him.
How terribly sad. I never watch the news because it makes me too depressed. I hate stories about kids. I hate stories about people dying. I hate stories about politicians too.
I am almost in tears just thinking about it.
I usually skip the news for the same reasons.....too depressing.
Anyway, I am physically and mentally spent. Keeping up with the storms and keeping everyone happy... I'm beat.
Ditto!
Anniversary dinner AND a party?? You're a busy girl!!
Was it a group party or a "party" for two

Happy Anniversary!
Quick question -- by putting "Eat Me" next to the crab in my siggy, am I gonna get in trouble for that?

I see it's been added!
I finally have over 1000 posts!
I am dying for seafood after hearing all of you on the coast. I can have a great steak any day, but I'm dying for something from the water. I'm thinking about hosting a shrimp boil here as soon as it warms up a little bit. Maybe I'll get daring and try one of those crab cake recipes. Only time I had fresh crab was when we went to VA beach. My mouth is watering at the thought.

Congratulations
Kellie is so sweet to ask me to email back and forth to John with you guys. He says I can post "cut and pastes" from his emails, so I won't screw up any translations...like instead of "Kellie's surgery went fine and she is resting quietly"- I might write "Kellie is sugary and fine like cheese whiz with chai tea."

Hey it could happen! Anyway, I will also link some of our posts back to John..I dunno though, I am thinking that as soon as Kellie gets some rest, she is gonna be back on the boards getting into trouble..
Well, I am gonna sign off early tonight folks. I have had enough fun and laughter for today. Looking forward to the circulars tomorrow so I can start in with
IAHD's CVS savings plan. I love free/next to nothin' things!
Nighty night y'all...
Glad to see we have a Liason (sp) to keep us up to speed. Wishing Kellie a speedy recovery!
Any ?'s on the CVS ask away. It's a little

at 1st but after the 1st couple transactions ya catch on pretty quick!
Had to stop in and say hey! Some of you may recognize me from the TF thread. Thought I would come over and see what you girls are up to over here, since I already know some of you are a fun bunch! So how long has this group been together on this thread? I sort of feel like I am crashing a party!
I am also coming over to check it out. The TF thread has been great & this was recommended. But it does feel like crashing a party
Welcome aboard

Shove the crap off the couch and sit for a spell. Don't mind the dog drool, Slobbermouths been around

And we're ordering out for lunch!
ETA: had to go back and delete some smileys apparently 32 is too many, I am limited to 25
