mornin-
Mari- I hope your Step son is okay. Gosh, that is just awful! When is he moving in with you?
NC- wwhen are you going to Vegas?? Where will you stay? Dh used to go there for business. He said The Venetian is indescribable. This coming from a man who has stayed everywhere, it would seem.
Sea- Blue Man group- I don't think I'd like it either. Seems odd to me...How's your weather? Hey- I keep forgetting to ask you- are you going to WDW in the fall?
Hello to everyone else----
I am missing WDW---'
the stress of these past few weeks is getting to me.
On Friday, Belle rode her scooter alllllllllllll the way across the front of the Acura and scratched it deeeeeeeeep. No wax has worked.
Yesterday afternoon, Drew stuck his fist through the screen door, so that will have to be replaced.
And all day long yesterday, Mary Cat cried b/c she didn't bring home a ginormous project that was due this morning first period. She was responsible for typing it up for her group. THEN, when she went to go get in her bed to sleep, she tripped and get this--- her knee hit the corner of the wall- and it bent the metal joist in the wall and the sheetrock crumbled. It's going to be quite a repair. She had an awful day. LOL- so did Mark. hahaha
But, all was not awful..... it was Beau Gator the Bulldog's birthday so we had a party for him!!! He got a bone, two different types of treats and a cupcake. We sang happy B-day to him and he ripped open his presents.
Yes, he is as spoiled as me. He's Momma's baby.
Waiting for the word of an offer on the job so we can contact the realtor.
Cleaning today----- trying to keep busy and keep my mind off of the future.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Jo
Hey Guys, 
Good morning Mayer friends...
Mari, great news for your sis...very sorry to hear about your step son! Hope he is doing ok, and glad he is moving back home.
NC, what a pain when much-used appliances die. And of course, it couldn't just be easy to replace, had to be complicated, right?Our last major appliance that died was the fridge, last May. DH was out of state, so I measured the spot, went to Sears, found a fridge that I THOUGHT was the right size...when they delivered it, it was barely the right height to fit under the cabinet, but quite a bit more narrow than the last one...and we lost like 2 cu ft of space...which is a LOT. Good thing we don't have a huge family, because hardly anything fits in this thing! And my stove died 1 week before Thanksgiving a couple of years ago...had to run out and buy one immediately, or how could I make turkey and pie???
And to think what pioneer women used to have to use to keep their families fed and their houses clean. I don't think that rug beaters broke as often as vacuums do...
Jo, pixie dust to you for no more mishaps with cars or screen doors, and no job/moving/waiting stress!
Had a fun weekend with my boys and DH...played some computer games, got bills paid, grocery shopping done, car washed, laundry washed, had a BBQ...and the house is STILL a messWish I could just take 3 days off and stay home alone to clean.
Sea, it's been really warm up here too, 103 on Friday, but it calmed down a little after that, now high 90's. Yesterday was horrible, lots of smoke from fires caused by lightning strikes. Looks ugly-hazy again today, hard to breathe for those of us with asthma
My mom finally picked a senior's apartment to move in to! Now I gotta buy a plane ticket, and will fly out there probably 7/12-7/18 to get her moved in. Not the way I wanted to use my vacation time, but I'm grateful I have the time to take -- she is 78, my step-dad is 76, and they just can't care for themselves at home anymore. The place is beautiful, 3 meals a day, housekeeping once a week, has a clinic, pharmacy, beauty/barber shop, card/billiard room, library, movie theater room, activities, transportation to the doctor and the store, field trips, etc. I think they will both be a lot happier.
OK, gotta fly! Have a great day you guys!
He loved his apartment. They had parties all the time and I was always having to get a costume together for him or a gag gift or something. I hope your parents enjoy their place as much as my grandfather enjoyed his. Well, the guy at the store said, you may as well just buy a new stove top. My neighbor just had her stovetop repaired for a similar issue and spent over $200. I think for that amount, I really might like to just get a new stove top. I know it will be more (like $800 more), but $200 is lot to put into an 8 year old stove and we are now planning to stay in this house for awhile. Then my CH thru in should we change to from white appliances to stainless. 
good luck! 
i would go for it for sure - even though you will be living there for a while - stainless is always better for resale value - it almost always fits everyones taste 
we have no money for a down payment, but i got some pretty solid advice from my grandfather so we are starting to look .... here's a cute one that we are considering 
.... we'll see - i will do my best though who wants to switch professions - let my hubby know - because apparantly working at a tiny family owned print shop is not the way to make our millions ... .... who knew? I'm losing it, LOL.
They are not in school yet. They have been going to Springdale FBC pre-school and my sister-in-law loves it. One of the twins has had speech and I think he takes it thru the public schools. I think he goes like twice a week and it is sort of like preschool, they work on his speech thru play and other activities and then I think he receives one on one instruction. I think they will go to public school. They haven't really mentioned it as the boys have not been old enough to go. I think they have one more year at home before Kindergarten. They may keep them home another year. A lot of people around here do that, especially with boys.
Remember me!!
I am been so busy around here. School is over and these kids are driving me insane. My laptop also died so I am using my work one which is slow so it is painful to use.
Jo- Congrats!! How far is Arkansas from PA?
Mari- Sorry about your stepson
NC- Sorry about your microwave
Shelly- Hi
Seacrest- Hey
Hi to RF, Katie and JC
Off to go buy a freezer, Dh and I got roped into a meat delivery service and now I need something to store all the meat in. It should be good I spend way to much money and time in the grocery store and so I hope this helps
TTYL
I have gone insane! I am putting aluminumn foil over all of my appliances to see what they would like as stainless. If you walked in you would think I am one of those people who foil their whole house so the alien's can't read their minds. Oh wait! Maybe I am one of those people! If I get locked away tonight, it is because my DH will think I have lost my mind!
I would post a photo, but I can't remember my login for photobucket!
(although that show is HILARIOUS) 
) and we sent to see the scary movie "The Strangers" with Liv Tyler - scared the crap out of me - I loooove scary movies and this one isn't scary like "Oh a ghost is coming to get me..." It's scary like, "Wow, people are psychos and this might (and did... apparantly) actually happen" awwww......he's nice
