Allie, sweet kids!

Did the son run away from home?What was his motive does anyone know?

What a nightmare for any parent

What a nightmare for any parent

Yes, he ran away, but I'm not sure what his motive was. I'm just glad that he's safe. Now I think they all have some things to work out as a family. Stuff like that changes everyone ya' know. I just know that they will probably sleep a little better tonight.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Allie, thanks for letting us know that he's home safe!

We are having Slipper Day at work tomorrow!!! The supervisors are providing cookies and milk for morning break tomorrow

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

You're welcome, PJ! Hope it is not too difficult to make a decision on the job front

Well, I've already ruled one out, so I think it's going nicely so far!

The Police found my neighbor's son! Thank you for all your prayers and PD. But boy, I wouldn't want to be him right now. I know they are relieved to have him back, but I'm sure they want to string him up by his toes too.

PJ, I thought of you today while I was substituting for the four year old teacher today. It was PJ day. I had somewhere to go after school so I didn't wear my PJ's, but I did wear my robe over my clothes, and wore my slipper socks. The kids were cute by saying, "Miss Allie, you're sweet." Made my head get a little BIG. Then another girl in the class, who can't stand to be outdone, said, "Miss Allie, I think you're sweet AND brilliant!" It just made me laugh 'cause she is the same kid who has told me in the past that I was mean.

Goog Luck with your job decisions.

What a relief for your neighbors! I, too, wouldn't want to be that boy, though.

PJ day!!!! A cause to celebrate, indeed. And don't they crack you up how they love you one minute and the next minute they're giving you the evil eye for making them do their work or something?

 

[UtahMama]

Yep, no sodas either. No ice cream of any kind.

-- Rob

Not even on the drive home? Hmmm?

I sent one of my babies to the principal for the first time today! I didn't want to do it but the little bugger was asking for it. She whipped him into shape and I think he fears me now too. Which is of course the goal. KIDDING.

I babysat again tonight. It was parent-teacher conferences for the kids. The 6 year old is autistic so he's an adventure for me and apparently for his teacher, too, from what the parents told me of the conference!

Headed to the gym.

Do a mile for me too...Jk! I'm now doing my own mile on my big girl tread mill that I just dusted off this week.

Sorry you had to send one of your kids to the principal! Hope he'll be better behaved.

You are welcome to babysit Norah. She's a bundle of joy. I bet you're a good sitter.

I want cookies too!

I'm glad the kid (17 year olds are "kids" to me) is back, little trouble maker!

Then why don't you marry him?

Wheat Thins

She's took?

I say that all the time.. In my "Marry a cow" voice.

I'm not a big fan of Meatloaf. Sorry. Unless it's meat. In a loaf.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

My choice of Pajames are from 2 pair of Flannels. No VS ones, as that would probably not be appropriate for work anyway.

But I have no slippers

Tomorrow is farewell lunch for my collegue at Tusker House. That will be at least 3 hours with transportation. Collegues new park, he is going to AK Finance.
I'm not looking forward to that much, but better than working in the office any day!

I hardly did my own miles tonight, I was just super tired for no reason in particular. So sorry, no miles to spare!

The kid's dad is in prison, his mom has 6 children total with 6 different dads, he has a brother in juvie, I could go on. As awful as it sounds, things aren't looking up for him.

I try to be patient with the kids but they definitely test me! Send Norah to me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I'll send her in with the babysitting kiddos. What's one more? When I told babysitting mom I'm probably moving I thought she was going to cry. She asked me how much I would charge to be her live in nanny and homeschool the kids. Ummmm.....let me think...NO THANKS!! I've been with the family 6 years. I'm rambling. The end.

Hey, I get to eat lunch in my cube or office plenty of tmes. I actuall moved ou of my office to sit a tiny desk (termed the Intern Desk) since they put a door in between my office and the rest of the crew. I felt totally disconnected. so I work from a tiny table now . And when my boss comes to use it, i resent it. They took his office for a new positon to salvage CM;s.
But that should be resolved soon.

What was I going to to say?

Oh right, something about lunch tomorrow being better than horrible chioices at the cafeteriia most days.
As I said, better then normal

Not that I'm the queen of logic but I totally didn't follow that post. I think I'll smile and nod my way through it.

Ok, not that anyone will care, but here it is:

Boss got booted out of his office, because they created a new postion to save CM's at risk. And he has another office at his othe resort across the Lake.

So they booted him out of his office.
And the CM saving people took over the little conference area we had. and boss' office.
Where CM's come to get advice and pick up paychecks, right in front of my office door.
Then they put in a door between my office and the area where my peeps sit.
Which made it virtually soundproof for me to hear what was going on with my peeps (if anything)

So I had lots of Spanish chatter and was separated from my team, which I previously could at least hear part from, but not since the door was put in.

So I took over the Intern desk, which is a tiny space, not desk space really.
But I cant use it when the boss comes over from the other hotel.
But 2 people are moving out soonishly, so we will have more space.
Make sense now?

Now my office is reserve d for private meetings and conference calls.

Wendy: Sorry about the TMJ. I could never lay my head on its sides at night to sleep. And I always thought if I moved my jaw sideways enough, I'd get it back to being lined up.

Allie: Good news.

I wonder what my sister and mom and nephews are doing right now. Oh that's right they are in disney world sucking up all my pixie dust in their dvc one bedroom villa at Saratoga springs.

I wonder what the boys are spending their disney dollars on I gave them.

So, Tim gets on plane, lands in Detroit. Phone rings, St. Lois Managers walk out today and quit, Tim has to fly to St. Lois Sat. night for damage control through Thursday!

Stupid new position.

Marita, I'd LOVE to have a door to shut out chitchat!

Sorry, Mony!

My little (half-)sis called me tonight and said her dad broke his ankle in two places tonight He's probably having surgery on Saturday. I'm hoping this doesn't cause her to have to use up her vacation time and mess up her ability to go down to my daughter's graduation next month I am planning to ride down to Florida with her. It figures! I just made the reservation for my return flight last night. Worst comes to worst, I guess I can rent a car or fly down to WDW from NC

His other kids hardly ever pitch in to help with this sort of thing. I told her there's always the nursing home route . . .

[Backstage_Gal]

Dang Moo, sorry about that.

hate it when that happens.

About chat, I would rather be with my peeps than be totally alone.

Unless I really need the privacy and desk space I dont dont have at the Intern desk right now. But soonishly we will have more space AND the office.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Ouch and ouchie!

I know! My poor sis.

I told her I'd sit with her during the surgery if she wants me to.

 

[RobInBigKC]

I see how it is. You just want me closer to you so you can stalk me! It always comes down to stalking with you, doesn't it? Not that I am going to base where I move on anyone but me, but my younger sister and I have gotten infinitely closer this past year d/t issues with Hollywood (long story) and I would love to have her close to me.

Neither did I. Rob likes to paint himself as the innocent one and act all normal but please just know that is not the case. I'm going to leave the Lucky Charms/bikini thing alone now.

1. I'm sure it will all work out for you PJ. The Lord has plans for you even if you don't.
2. Ahem! WHO was the first one to bring bikinis up on this thread? I just have one last comment which is to say that I found it hilarious that your post to STOP conversation on the subject instead spurred a whole round of it.

Not even on the drive home? Hmmm?

Ok, busted. As soon as we left the baseball complex, we stopped at THE (as in the only) truck stop in Nevada and I got myself a 32-ounce Diet Coke and a Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds bar. The three kids in my car got candy bars AND Krispy Kreme donut holes AND 22-ounce fountain soft drinks.


Our new sofas arrived yesterday. So far, I've had time to sit on one of them for about six minutes.

I thought they might make our hideous carpeting look that much worse, by comparison, but it doesn't seem to be having that effect.

GOOD MORNING!

I woke up early with a headache this morning. There's thunder and lightning outside. It's gonna get coldish and rainy this weekend.

My mom had to take my grandmother to Vanderbilt Hospital in an ambulance yesterday to have an arteriogram. She had a new blockage so they put in a stint. She's hoping to be home today and as soon as she recovers she'll have to have her gall bladder out! I KNOW! Poor Grandmother!

Rob....Nice sofas. I'd like to have one of those recliner ones. And another picture of the barracks? And the dog? (Get that dog off the new sofa!) Do you ever turn that camera on yourself? RE: soda....we do not purchase nor drink soda at the lexmelinda household. It's water or milk here. Soda is a waste of money and calories. It has no redeeming value.

Marita....Thanks for explaining the new office situation. Clear as mud. What's an at risk CM? What are they at risk of? Many things come to mind.

Wendee....Are you off the hooch, honey? Good for you! That stuff is poison, I tell ya! Why snotty protein shakes? Can't you just eat a handful of peanuts? Or almonds? Or a salad? I'd rather have almost anything except a cold, snotty shake. OH...and my *entertainment* choices look a lot like yours. Maybe I'll paint my toenails. It's getting to be sandal weather here.

Moo....Oh, no! Your poor sister!

Peej....What's so funny about Etown? You were hoping for a job in Park City? Cave City? Bonnieville? I agree that Nashville would be more fun. So does this mean your little sister is serious about Belmont? Is she a theater girl too? I second what Rob said on God's plans.

Allie....What a huge relief! Our neighbors' son disappeared overnight back in the fall. Turns out the (private) school was about to give he a drug test so he bolted (because he knew he was going to fail the test) and didn't show up at home til the next day. Everyone in the neighborhood was out looking for him. He casually strolled in the next morning and faced no consequences. His life went on as usual and he was actually granted his wish of attending the public high school instead of the private one. Guess it pays to run away. Or at least that's the message he got.

MommyP....Ewwwww on the mustard blow out! When Mimi was almost 2ish, my mom came for the weekend to visit. She fed Mimi Oreos all day one day and when we were out, the poor child had a HUGE Oreo blow out. I won't go into detail but suffice to say it was BLACK. It was the grossest thing I've ever experienced. Right up there with the steak/fruit loop vomit of '07.

Everybody else.........

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!
