where are the Wild West Women?
aka BLABBERMOUTHS.......

 

[lillygator]

work has been pretty crazy this week. We are way off forecast and allownances seem to be in question.
DH is done with softball for a little bit.

Hi Deb! I was just thinking I hadn't seen you in awhile.

Hi Cheri, I'm here.....it's just taking me a lot of time reading so I don't have as much time to write anymore. I'm always 20+ pages behind and find it hard to catch up and stay current. But I'm still reading everything.....don't want to miss anything.

 

[HollyTyler]

No Hooters Nan? Sounds like a personal problem . . .

No kidding! I'm shocked I'm able to finally catch up (well...almost....about 35 more pages to go), so I can tell they must be gone!

 

[elderfam]

Just checking in..Close to full on panic mode as time seems to be passing faster and faster. ....
Last fall I remember thinking I had all the time in the world to plan....

 

[HollyTyler]

Oh crap....I was just about to head to sleep because I'm about falling asleep at the computer, but just remembered I promised Tyler I'd do a load of laundry to wash a particular shirt he wants for tomorrow. Today at spring break day care they gave all the kids special yellow shirts with their school district name & logo for them all to wear on their field trip to the bowling alley. The kids were told to wear it for every field trip and I can't remember if they have one tomorrow or not, so I have to wash the shirt just to be safe. They have a trip Thurs & Fri, but I just can't remember about tomorrow.

 

[HollyTyler]

The worse ones I ever had were the ones given in the military....they almost threw them at you....and don't even go there about the atropine (sp) self-injectors....

Ah yes.....that walk down the assembly line type setup...shot after shot...right down the line, with that thing that looks like an air gun from outer space.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Thanks, I wanted to go to school at UCF but they don't offer my degree.

Hey, Rocky Top, you'll always be, home sweet home to me!!!! Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee!!!!!!!!!

I'm here, just had to do double duty today. Kids on spring break and I'm working...I'm tired. Still working tonight, feel sorry for me yet???didn't think so. I have to go back and read from last night, I'll be back I'm sure.

 

[nskjerven]

No Hooters Nan? Sounds like a personal problem . . .

I'll leave that for chicken to reply to and I bet he won't even bother....

 

[nskjerven]

She is fine . . . after several days of cleaning and the ear seeping . . . I told her NO EARING IN THAT EAR UNTIL YOUR MOM GETS HOME!

She is OK with that, and in fact would take the one out of the other ear now and wait until she is older, but she won't let me touch that one either! My opinion is that kids should not have earrings (pierced) until they are mature enough to do the "twisting" you have to do to establish the hole - rather than what happened with Sophia. She is a big scardy cat, and every little ouch frightens her, so she just does nothing.

yup, that's my 13 year old rule in practice, if Molly is a wimp at 13 I'll push it back even further. Why stress over something silly like earrings?

 

[nskjerven]

my ears perked up at the sound of financials!
Too bad we are 5 million off forecast right now and the office is in a frenzy.

yup the numbers are all relative $5 mil or $5K can hurt a small business in the same way...got my 2008 numbers done last night, now I have to deal with the crap from 2007 and get the returns filed for 2007.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Tammy, behind the tears as I sit here trying to figure out what to say, I'm speechless. My heart breaks for you and your kids. You know we're all here and willing to listen any time you want to talk to us. I know for a fact that when you're hurting, getting it out, even through typing, does lighten the load the tiniest bit. So any time, we're all here for you. I just apologize for not having the right words.

Thanks Holly, Don't apologize for not having the right words, I am not sure that they exist.

I don't normally get very spiritual, and tend to keep these things to myself.

But as of late, there have been so many people here who have been experiencing challenges and losses, with loved ones, friends and family.

I have been at a real loss for words. I thought I would share what does usually come to my mind, which is a very Jewish thought or prayer for healing. In our tradition, healing is not limited to physical health and well being, but includes emotional health and well being as well.

It is called the mi-shaberach, and very fundamental to our prayers (and usually sung).

"May the source of strength, Who blessed the ones before us
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing
And let us say: Amen.

Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'leima
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit,
And let us say: Amen."

I apologize is if this is a little overly spiritual and a bit out of character for me, and certainly in no way intend to sound preachy.

I hope that comfort and healing is brought to all who are in need of it, as I think of how often, all of us need it in one form or another.

This is very nice.

No script yet. I talked with the OT and before she talks with his pediatrician about meds, she wants to wait until all the various people at school do their own evaluations and she speaks with all of them just to make sure all reports are consistent in all areas evaluated, and she'll provide all that data to his pediatrician too, along with her own evaluation report and we'll go from there. Should just be a couple more weeks. Not a quick process, but we really are getting somewhere.

Lots of hugs out to you!!

 

[nskjerven]

That's exactly how I am. I had never even held a newborn until Tyler. Never liked babies....still don't. Fortunately, Mother Nature took over while Tyler was a baby and got me through that stage.

I've held lots of new borns, I think I just got sick of dealing with my sisters babies and then just got old and set in my ways. hey I don't like my dog barking remember...

 

[BubbaGrump]

No catching up here. I am back at work and hundreds of pages behind. I will just jump back in the pool here and trust that my people will let me know if I missed anything. It is SO good to be home!

Welcome home MrsMork! Kept Drhug company Sat night! Well me and a couple of others. I swear we didn't talk about the table dancing

 

[nskjerven]

I don't really know what I read. I'm all doped up on Nyquil!

you still sick??? sorry buddy

We are here. I had to start tanning today so I have other things to do than be with you!

 

[nskjerven]

For all you guys out there that said you wouldn't be caught DEAD in a pair of Crocs. I want to let you know they have an new mens style out that is really KEWL. They are the Santa Cruz. Very light, very comfortable and ideal for the cruise. They come in several colors and run true to size. Check it out at www.crocs.com. I now have two pair of them along with my regular Mickey Crocs for days at the pool.

Doug

nope those are still ugly

Ian, how very appropriate. Thanks for posting this for all those who may need blessings right now.
