Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too (Part 2)

Good AM! I've been up for awhile, waking up a kid, making her breakfast, filling her water jug, etc, for a band event today. It has taken over our lives. One of the carpool moms is driving this AM, and we are picking up this afternoon. Poor thing is exhausted. We lost our game last night, rather badly, then went to a local pizza joint that was only open to the band and color guard after the game. It was a blast. A handful of parents went, mostly students, and I was wondering if we would be cramping Megan's style if we went, but we sat at a table by ourselves, and it was totally OK. My husband, the most impatient person in the world, was done eating and was ready to leave. I texted Meg and told her we were going to make out in the car. (We didn't. :sad1: ) We had a blast, and I am glad that we went. It's a Friday night home game tradiition. I got to see (not meet yet!) the boy that she likes and talks to on the phone and texts with all of the time. They sat next to one another and were really friendly. He's cute! No, her mom does not have a crush on him, too!:rotfl2: She had to wear the same shorts and t-shirt today that they wore last night, so at midnight I'm washing them, setting my cell phone alarm to wake me up off the couch to transfer from washer to dryer to toss, then again to take out of the dryer and hang up 30 minutes later. CRAZY. Fun times!:yay:

I nearly spit out my coffee when I read this!:lmao: I can't even imagine your daughter's face when she read that text! Sorry it didn't happen though! And, I don't know, Pam - you seem to be mentioning ALOT of cute boys lately!:rolleyes: Face it ladies - deep down, we're all cougars!

Cammie - That is so neat that you do the mom/daughter trips. You've incented me to do more one on one things w/my girls. That airfare is outrageous! I wonder when this is going to stop? I hope that we get our economy straight soon. The sad thing is that no matter how much it's fixed, the airlines are still going to make us pay these crazy fees because we are now. They're not going to take them away. I miss the good ole days.

Sadly, I think it's going to be a long time before we see airfare come down. I've checked back on my flights again (I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist!) and the tickets have already gone up by $200 a piece! And that's just since yesterday!:eek: It it what it is - but I NEED my Disney fix so I'm sucking it up!

And what a good mom you are - staying up past midnight to take care of her laundry! I swear, the things we moms do for our kids! I hope you can fit a nap in for yourself later.

So, we're expecting Hannah to hit today - probably later this afternoon. I think I'll just see alot of rain but the Cape and Islands are preparing for the worst! I'm trying to get motivated to hit the gym this morning - it will be the first time I've set foot in the place since July!

I did make a vow to start going back regularly once school started! UGH!:headache: Then I'm hoping to do some weeding before the rain hits; my backyard is looking like a jungle these days! Yeah - I have SUCH an exciting weekend planned! :woohoo:

Later ladies!
 
Cammie - I'm right there with you on Hannah hitting today. DH is a mailman and he's oh so excited about having a day of rain.:sad2: We're going over to a plaster molding place that you get to paint. I think the girls just want to stay home and play, but painting is always fun.

LovinLife - I get scared reading how much you are monitoring your DD, but I know it's something I'll be doing in a few years. I don't even want to think about boys, hello I'm still trying to figure out how to talk to her about her period.

Woke up with a wicked sore back, the girls started dance classes back up last night and that meant 3 hours of me sitting on a wooden bench. The owner asked me if I'd make cushions for the benches - well since I sit there for hours at a time YES! Of course I've never made cushions in my life, but it can't be too difficult.

Hope everyone stays safe with Hannah and Ike baring down on all of us. Be safe everyone!!:love:
 
Debbie that was a good view when I brought up the DIS this AM.

Cammie right there with you. I'm off to they gym again. I have been hitting 3 x's a week but I have gone up 4 lbs. :scared1: I'm thinking it is because I am adding muscle. We've started lifting free weights instead of using the weight machines. I can tell a difference in my arms and in my quads, tummy, umm not so much... :confused3 I'm sure it has nothing to do with eating with Tim. :rotfl: That stupid predinozone made him hungry all the time so we all were eating munchies. He went from 130 to 148 in a matter of 3 mos. We all need to buckle down. The Y installed a new kids play set. Beth is dying to go to the daycare so I will take her and Katherine today and I will tie myself to that treadmill. I am bound and determined to have my jeans fit. I am not going to buy bigger sizes. I think I need to add more intense cardio. all the work I just don't want to be the bon-bon eating Stay at Home Mom with the worlds largest gunt.

Good luck with the cushions Tina. My mom just finished some for her porch. I'm sure that will make it a bit more tolerable to be on the bench.
 

Hi Ladies!
Happy weekend. My DH is working CRAZY hours so we are on our own today.I think I will clean and start packing. If I start packing I will feel closer to my happy place.

Laura...I would be SO...mad about that chick on the bus! OMG I would want to ring her neck.
I am still hoping you move by me (if that's what you want for you family). I just think we would absolutely hang out. You just can't move to some crazy far suburb from me!

Girls..thanks again for backing me up with my big mouth. I feel a lot better about what I said and how I said it.

Tina...sorry your back hurts.
Cammie...good for you starting to work out again. I talk & talk about it and never do it. Hope your weather stays manageable.
Oh and congrats on the airfare. Other dis friends?????:snooty: Whatever!
Pam...good luck with your crazy schedule.
Kara...I suppose your NOT surprised by SIL right? She is a brat!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand the women and I never met her. Did you ever get your money from her?
Also, you know how I told you guys I battled with my weight growing up for years and years but now it's different. Well, I figured it out. Since I have became a wife and mother I am just a nervous wreck on so many occasions that I lose weight from it. Being so stressed with the start of school I dropped 5 lbs without even trying. I know it IS NOT a healthy state to be in but I have figured out why my body is completely different now. Now to be healthier I REALLY should start using that YMCA membership. I think it would help with my anxiety as well.
 
You silly girls, I mean cougars.:lmao: I really hate that word! I am NOT a cougar, Cammie!:snooty: Well, maybe a little...:rolleyes1

Uggh! I took my car to the dealership this am to find out that they didn't have the part. They guy asked me if they called me to let me know it was in. I told him no, that I didn't know I was supposed to get a call from them, that I had a 9:15am appt to get it replaced. I was a little peeved. I did have to sign the paperwork and pay for the extended warranty we decided to buy, so it wasn't a total wasted trip. But now I need to wait for the call that the part is in, then take it in again one day this week or next weekend, hopefully. At least I will get a free loaner car.

I am waiting for Darrin to get his butt ready to go to FedexKinkos to see if they can do his mom & dad's 50th anniversary invitations. We have 39 of them to do, and I tried to do something cute on our pc w/their wedding pic and a copy of their marriage license, but it is going to be a pain in the rear, and I think that their print quality will be better than that of our home printer. I did get the labels done today. It's end of January, so I better get going on it. My goal is to have everything done before Thanksgiving. His sister, Kara - MY BSIL, is not doing a freaking thing. I will keep up w/my expenses, and they will at least pay for 1/2 of the cost. It is easier for us, being here locally, but she has offered to do nothing. I need to keep telling myself it is for my MIL and FIL, two great people.

Yeah for everyone on the workouts!:cheer2: Larua, Cammie, Debbie, Kara, anyone else? Keep up that motivation! I have still yet to try yoga! I have my mat ready! I just need to go!:rotfl:

I am quite jealous about the cushions, Tina. I wish I was motivated and talented enough to be more creative. I would just be buying cushions for the dance studio from Walmart! Your poor hubby, out in the elements. I feel so bad for those who work outside, especially in the hell that we have during the summer.

I've just been informed that DH is ready to go. Now Taylor's asleep. She spent the night at a friend's house and I am sure they stayed up almost all night.

You girls made me want to get my hair cut w/talk of yours, so I called my guy this AM and he hasn't called me back yet. I will resort to going to Supercuts, will be regretful and make him mad at me, but I want to get it cut the instant I feel like it. I am not good at making the appts in advance.

TTFN.
 
hi there. Debbie- I think a move will happen but not in the imediate future. Probably more like a year or 2. Yes I would love to know that I had a friend already there when the time comes.

We just watched Enchanted. What a lovely movie. Off for the night, TTFN
 
Hi Laura! Good to see you.I have been hanging out here all night, all alone.
I have the deluxe Enchanted dress for Elizabeth for Halloween (got a great deal on it).
Good night buddy.
 
i'm hidding out in the office until TIm falls asleep tonight. I am really having a hard time dealing with his back trouble. He can't really do anything. He stays in bed all day with his legs up and says it hurts to walk on the hardwood floors. I can understand the pain but I am thinking he is being a bit dramtic about it. To add insult to this injury, katherine is cutting her 2 yr molars and Beth has a cold. I hate leaning on my family so much to help out when I am working.

My real trouble is that when he hurt his back on the sled when beth was a month old he couldn't do anything for 6 mos. I don't have the strength to do that again. We did 9 mos of therapy to help us get over that issue plus others. I really want to be the good wife and support him but not martyr myself.

You guys are the best. Thanks so much for letting me put this out there. It is amazing how it feels just getting it out.
 
Hey everyone hope things are well. I have been cleaning up a storm and it just becomes a mess again. The trip is on and things are well. I will try to catch up.
 
HI Jillian! I see you there! I'm glad your trip is back on.

Debbie - I'm going to pretend I didn't see the pic of Zac :rotfl2: Lindsay got a really cute costume for Londynn at Gymboree the other day. It is the little brown dress with the orange butterfly wings, the spotted tights, and the headband with the "bugaboos." She looks so cute!

Pam - looks like you're having lots of fun with your band girl! What does she play???

Laura - I'm sorry Tim is hurt - as I said, keeping you both in my prayers.:grouphug:

Cammie - stay dry! :scared1: Did you make it to the gym? I haven't been in 6 months. Although I've lost 18 lbs, I still need to firm up.

Kara, I can't believe your FIL and Jeff let that BSIL ruin their weekend! She probably did the whole thing just to be a brat. My BSIL and real MIL used to find out from the kids what we were doing and when and then have some imagined emergency to take Jim away and ruin our day, or try to invite themselves to DL with us, etc. We finally had to stop telling anyone where we were going and when.

When is Renee coming back?

Tina, sorry your back hurts - I'm sure you'll make some great cushions!


We had an Arbonne meeting up at the lake today - outside on the deck in the woods - I didn't want to come home. I guess I'd better get inside and say hi to Jim - he and Mark just got back from the Duck game -

Kara, Ducks won 64-22 or something like that!
