YAY FOR THE RETURN OF YOUR POWER, MONY!!!!! Hang in there. Sending hugs. Goog luck with the upcoming appointments.

Being without power is no fun at all. Our Internet and phone are still out :(

Pumba - Our thoughts and prayers will be with you while you're off-line.

Sandy, we know you're a nice person. HUGS!

Peej, sounds like you could use a HUG too!!!

OK, that's all I'm goog for tonight. Night all!
 
I did mention I am teaching science at VBS right? I have the best job. Every day kids come to my class and by the end they are all yelling "this is AWESOME!!!!!!"

It is pretty awesome to get to talk about cool stuff like carbonic acid all while dressed like pirate:


That is my happy thought for the day. Kumbahfrigginyah to all my imaginary friends.
:hippie: :cloud9: :yay: :)


Yay for two days off, and electricity and the end of school :thumbsup2

Amen to all of that! And I am over an out! :hippie:
 
I was thinking of that to myself. Love that Kumbahfrigginyah. I think I'll teach a new word to my little friends today.

School is OPEN. The showers are going! The stink is gone!

I recognize my boys again!

DH goes in to have that "special" test done today. His Dad is taking him. They have to put him out. This is killing me that I am not going to be there. It would be more stressful if I left all these kids with people I am not 100% comfortable leaving them with at this point. Only because my mom says she can't do it alone and I am starting a new girl out this week.

I need her trained first and she will get there.

10 kids is alot of responsibility for anyone!


Tim's all worked up over his surgery interfering with our camping trip. This surprises me. It's camping!


Happy Hump Day!
 

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE! :sunny:

It's gonna be a beautiful day here in KY! I'm headed to the pool after work today. I don't teach today because the kids are getting extra music (but no missions) today to get ready for family night tonight.

Moo...unscented fabric softener? I only buy it because it smells goog?

Monica....Sounds like Tim's got his priorities straight! ;) Is there a projected date for the surgery? Next week? Still praying!

PJ....Aren't you having fun making dreams come true in the happiest place on earth? Have a magical friggin day! :) (PS....what's with the song? Are you breaking up with somebody?)

Twinkie.....There's science at the pirate VBS? Whaaaat?

Sandy
....Life comes atcha fast. Make up with your brother. And lay all the guilt on him. ::yes::

DTD....Have a great EPLS day. I didn't get the Night Court reference. I didn't watch TV in the 80's. I heard Bill Cosby had a show back then too. :confused3

Cel....How goes it in Albuquerque? How do I get a traveling job? I wanna travel.

Where's Wendy? Where's MommyP?


Hound, WT, NAB, Lil G, BNCG, everybody?.............:wave2:

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
 
GOOD MORNING!

:wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hugs and magic to all who are having health and family problems. It sure would be great if there was no pain and stress in this world, but unfortunately we have to help each other get through the bad times as best we can, and look ahead to the good times.
 
Here's a little sumptin' if CBM has left for the day or the kids are sleeping, or if you are looking for something to read. Most is true, I might have embellished a few times.:rolleyes1

I'll call it: Utter Chaos. By monymony3471

. . . .

And I'm here entertaining you. I'm nice like that.

Until the next storm, cause if the wind blows wrong, my grid will go.

I think we will be purchasing a generator this week.

This drama looks like a likely candidate for the Weather Channel's "Storm Stories" series. It has action, suspense, drama, and a reasonably happy ending. Yikes! Sorry you had to go through all that. We don't get that kind of weather in upstate NY but we do get the occassional ice storm or blizzard and lose power for a few days. We have a couple generators (of course they're no good unless you have the foresight to keep fuel on hand) and we also have a rather complex battery back-up system with enough power stored to run most of the house for two or three days without the generator. The worst part of any storm and power loss for me would be not having the computer! :rotfl:

Do you do birthdays?

Oops, I thought I multiquoted-

Sandy-
Life's too short....make up with your brother even if you don't really mean it. Even if he doesn't understand. :hug: But vent here if you want! I watched the Bucket List last night so this has influenced my "advice".

Mony- You ARE entertaining! :hug: Absolutely love you to pieces!

Melinda- I am/was here but mostly in my cloak of invisibility. We showed our house yesterday to the agent who's clients canceled at the last minute twice this weekend. So during the hour they were here, we went shopping for some jeans for me...which ended up being a good thing ::yes::

Kay- How is your new kitty? :cat:

Poom-
Good luck on your eye surgery! :hug:

Hi Moo! Hi Marita! Hi Celery and Lynt and BBN and Peej! AND everyone
 
Kay- How is your new kitty? :cat:




Crystal and Tornado are getting along great. They touch noses whenever they pass each other and sometimes he licks her a few times which is really cute. Now the biggest problem I have is that Crystal gets into everything. We have to leave all the toilet lids down because she loves to drink out of the toilet! She managed to crawl into an uncovered heat vent and was wandering around in our cold air returns. :scared1: Fortunately we got her out without having to cut the ductwork open. And since she is small enough to fit under every piece of furniture in the house she is frequently a testimony to my poor housekeeping. I'm constantly picking dustballs out of her whiskers. :rotfl: Kitties are fun.
 
My cats. Meep and Abby, always drink out of the toilets! :scared1:

Yes, I do provide bowls of clean drinking water for them, too. Whenever I see them in the act, I say,"Ewww...Toilet Drinker!"

Needless to say, I don't like kitty kisses :rolleyes1 And DO clean the toilets often. :faint:

One of my cats, Abby, likes the taste of my "self-tan" lotion and tries to lick it off of my legs!

Cats are FUN and cheap entertainment.
 
Twinke are you going to do the non Newtonian fluid? My favorite!! Fill a pool and let them run thru!!

Uma :woohoo: new jeans!! Continued goog luck on the sale!!

Mony Where are you camping? It sure is a lot of extra work for the cook!!

Lexi if you are having family night - is that the large family you cook for? Can I join you at the pool??

Moo How is your stress level at work??

Glad all the power is on - and lets say now, NO MORE THREATENING POWER ENDING STORMS!!

Hey, Kum Bay Ya is my favorite song... that and "Linger" (mmmmMM I wanna linger mmmMMM a little longer... mmmMMM a little longer here with you...) Camp songs... Girl Scouts... Campfires!! I'm ready!!

PS - I wish I could delete my whiney post!!

I promise, I want to, have always wanted to "make up" with my brother, I thought I was just giving him "his space" I just never realized it was this long!! My mom is fearful because my brother is CRAZY STUBBORN...

BUT, in the whole scheme of things, there isnt really any reason NOT to make up with my brother!! I know that!!

I just ask that God will soften my brother's heart! I sent a card - he's in Texas, I'm going to give the card 2 days to get there - so tomorrow I plan on calling, and just telling him, "I'm sorry, I'm wrong, what can I do to make it right? I love you, always have, always will, you are my brother."


<TMI, I just didnt want to leave y'all thinking I'm truly heartless and stupid>
 
And since she is small enough to fit under every piece of furniture in the house she is frequently a testimony to my poor housekeeping. Kitties are fun.
Poly, breadman's kitten, can fit under doors. Riley, my codependent dog, likes to go with me when I go to the bathroom. So now Poly crawls under the door and the two of them have their little fun "interaction" while I'm trying to go potty. It's pretty fun.

utah - yes, cats are fun entertainment. I'm really liking poly and so far he's not messing with my allergies. I just want him and Riley to get past the awkward stage. It'll happen, I've just been traveling so much lately that they don't see each other much.

I did mention I am teaching science at VBS right? I have the best job. Every day kids come to my class and by the end they are all yelling "this is AWESOME!!!!!!"

Alright, people. I was robbed. When we went to VBS (always Church of Christ because to go anywhere else would be to risk eternal damnation! love you mama!) it was BORING!
What is missions lex?
do you tie in the science with a bible lesson twinks?
maybe y'all can give my mom some pointers since she helps with her church's curriculum. popcorn::


lex - hmm. come work for my company. they'll let you travel. ALbuquerque is great. I really love it out here. It's so beautiful! and it's so nice not to have the humidity.


Whenever I see them in the act, I say,"Ewww...Toilet Drinker!"
I bet that shames them into stopping, right? :rotfl: Did you get new skinny jeans?


Twinke are you going to do the non Newtonian fluid? My favorite!! Fill a pool and let them run thru!!


Hey, Kum Bay Ya is my favorite song... that and "Linger" (mmmmMM I wanna linger mmmMMM a little longer... mmmMMM a little longer here with you...) >

What is non newtonian fluid? is that like cornstarch and water plasma?

and age differences are a funny thing. When I read that your favorite song was linger, I was thinking "Wow! I can't believe Sandy likes the cranberries that much!"
:rotfl2:
I bet peej doesn't even know who the cranberries are.

speaking of peej -
are you ok, sweetie? I was unsympathetic last night (it was the rum), but I was thinking about you!

boy was I ever! I always wake up singing a song in my head - and it won't go away for several hours sometime.
this morning it was teardrops on my guitar.
I didn't realize that was taylor swift. I like it.
she was on nashville star last night when I was channel surfing -
the sound was AWFUL, so I switched it real quick like.

I have two requests for the prayer list.
the first is I really want to stop drinking. I know I've asked y'all to pray for me in the past, but could you again?
the second my mom will probably get mad at me for sharing, but you guys are my close friends so I'm going to anyway.
my sister is not "right." She had a wreck in 2000 that would have killed her but for the grace of God. She laid in a field for hours with a torn aorta, a ruptured spleen and her kidney broken in half. She was always a little odd before the wreck - super stubborn and an alcoholic (it runs in the family, what can I say?), but after the wreck her problems have gotten worse and worse. She has schizo affective disorder, severe post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, alcoholism, etc etc etc. Anyway, she has what we call "spells" where she goes off the deep end. We (my mom, dad and I) know one is coming. She's getting super paranoid, not sleeping etc.
There is no way she can hold a job when this happens. Please pray that we'll get through this one relatively unscathed.
One of my concerns is that she lashes out at my mom when she's like this - and I don't think she would hurt her, but there's no reasoning with her paranoia. She usually thinks she's being drugged and usually thinks my mom is the one doing it. I wish I could figure out how to stop it, but I'm not sure what to do.
Just pray for all of us. :)
Thank you!
 
I'm sure all prayers (even from the eternally damned...LOL!!!) will be very helpful!

Alcohol is yet another one of Satan's tools to ruin lives and destroy families. It's addictive for a reason, to keep you hooked and give you the illusion of "helping".

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it! :hug:

My solid white kitty got in a fight with some black shoe polish and a 12 year old boy yesterday..the cat lost...poor baby....the 12 year old had to give the cat a sink bath and got all scratched up.... bittersweet renvenge for Yasha
 
I am not a skimmer! You didn't say they were skinny jeans - just new jeans.
I deduced (nancy drew I am not) that they are skinnier cuz you're skinnier.
:P
 
Oh yeah- everyone remember to pray for pumba's surgery!
It is today, right?

and tim's procedure.
and mony's sanity.
cuz I don't know how she has any left! :hug:

Fits under doors! Wow that must be reeeeaaallly small! Maybe it's a mouse and not a kitten?

Tornado likes to wait outside the door to the half bath. It's a pocket door, and we never installed the door handle thingie, so there's a hole there. So, the occupant of the bathroom gets to play a fun game called "Paw in the hole." In this game, you insert one finger through the hole and wiggle it around, then hope to withdraw it in time before a seven toed paw with very sharp claws reaches into the hole and attacks you. Fun, huh? After engaging in this sport for a while the finale is inserting a piece of toilet paper into the hole and watching it get snatched away and shredded into a pile of lint.


My sister is not "right." She had a wreck in 2000 that would have killed her but for the grace of God. Just pray for all of us. :)
Thank you!

Wow, that sounds like a very difficult situation. It sounds like she really does needs drugs, but not from your mother. Chemical imbalances in the brain etc. can create an awful lot of problems which are medically treatable.

As for your decision to quit drinking, good for you. Anyone who has a history of alcoholism in the family, or has a problem with drinking, should not take chances. Better to give it up completely. There are plenty of non-alcoholic specialty drinks you can enjoy, and sparkling grape juice instead of wine.

I bet the boy doesn't do THAT again! :rotfl2:

Ha! No, it's a cat, just a small one. There's a big gap between the floor and the doors - breadman's house is a mobile home and for some reason they hung the doors with a two inch gap.

as for my sister, she's on tons of prescribed medication, but every few years they seem to get out of whack and the paranoia takes over.
