Okay, so on the swine flu - I think for us that just means to really watch hygene. Seriously. I'm glad we're taking our own stroller, loaded up on wipes because of the kids - no waterfountains, but all else should be fine.
Here is my thought - I could run into someone at the GROCERY STORE who sneezed on me too. You just never know.
50% down here means that there is a 50% chance of a shower or storm which would last about 1/2 hour and then clear up - not 50% chance of all day rain.\.
I'm so glad you brought this up, because here it means rain all day, or at least a good portion. I forgot how short those things blow in and out down there.
nerd queen talking.

you can replace your theromsat very easily. There is one or two wires running from your heating and air conditioning units and then the power supply. You will want to turn off your electricity to that part of the house that controls the thermosat. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to connect the new wires. The toughest part will be the actaul mounting of the unit. Check out
WWW.DIYNET.COM they should have a good instructional video.
I'm paranoid over the flu thing. Beth will not keep her hands out of her mouth-between thumb sucking and constant filddling. Her fingers are always near her mouth.I'm sure we will get some part of it. I will just know to keep her home if it gets bad.
The trip is so close. I can remember that excitement. Now with my crazies um not looking forward to going in 2 yes. I know blaspfamy. I think we will most like stay off property at my girlfriends 4 bedroom condo. It will really bum me out but with the horrible sleeping patterns these two have it might be my only hope. I'm really down on that right now. I want beth's intensity to get rained in but it is a never ending cycle with her and me now. There more intense she gets the more upset I get. I need to get away.
Have a great time!! I wants lots of pics!!!!
Okay, so thanks for the therm help. I think I may ad that on the to-do list. You always know so much stuff!
As for Beth, I'll let you know how this trip goes with us in a room for 7 nights. Nicolas = super light sleeper. Mia = heavy sleeper.

It will be a crap shoot. We'll see. I will have the condo which is 4BR to compare it to. I gotta say, I like condos.
WOW - I wish I had your metabolism, genes, WILLPOWER, whatever, I always find (note the ALWAYS..... how many times have i been here.....) that I lose big week 1 - then 2 pounds week 2/3/4 then 1/1.5/2 till 20 pounds then 1 up and 2 down like a yoyo for the next 20..... generally the right direction overall, but no where near week one... then after the 40 I usually give up, eat more and end up back where I am.... then start all over again..
week -

The diet makes sense! MARKET IT!

Girl, I wish I could find my willpower again. I wanted to get pregnant again and not have all the complications (aka - newborn being transfused), so I had that as a motivator. Wasn't about me but about the health of the baby, so I just did so well. Since then, not so much.

I will say if you follow it to a T you will be surprised how much will come off. And I DID NOT exercise either - so if you add that in, you'll be rocking!
And they are getting very serious about Jeff transferring, even talking about how to handle our house here. The ONLY way we could do it is they buy the house outright, pay all closing costs, AND compensate us 100% for the addition in back. Financially it is a smart move to make. Jeff would make more, and our house would cost less. But sometimes its not all about money. We like it here. We've become Floridians - who'd have thunk it???
My first reaction is, Kara - are you kidding me?
Then I realise, you do live very close and just last night they were saying they'd have it all under wraps in about 2-3 months. I don't know what to say. I'd love to see you, but I understand too. When we had CBR booked when Nicolas was 2, I was 8 weeks pregnant, we decided to cancel 2 days prior to leaving. It was the big anthrax scare then. Nothing happened, and we didn't go on our trip. You just never know. Then again, we can't just drive any weekend we want either.
As far as the transfer - is that SC? I can understand you being so torn. I mean,

you do seem to enjoy it there except for the school.

Goodness!
Lorrie-- did you find shorts for Carlos at Kohls? Just keep the kids covered in anti-bacterial and you will be fine.
YES I DID! I got him 3 pair, and he LOVES them. They were $30 each on sale for 11! I am seriously thinking about heading back and getting a couple more.

Gosh, that place is cheaper than Target, why I don't go there more often is beyond me.
My friend had surgery, so I'm keeping her son today after school. I was going to skip practice for soccer, but she asked if I could just take him to practice, so I guess we'll be going to that tonight too.
I've got to clean today, it is always something. Okay, off to start my day up.
