MOOvers, Huggers, and Pixie Dusters!

[Backstage_Gal]

Thanks for the hug, Rob!

You sound like a great husband! Can I borrow you?
I would also like to have my house vacuumed. I'll tip you even!

Here's some pics from yesterday:

The full body shot Wendy Requested:

Marita - Glad you got to talk to your son twice!

 

[lalijack]

Hey Cel! Glad you are okay! Maybe you should tone down the fun until you have a chaperone?

Seriously...take it easy! Vacations are no fun when they involve hospital visits.


Melinda, sending prayers for your entire family....so much to deal with all at once!


Twink and Wendy, hope your family visits go smoothly, with a bare minimum of drama!


Peej, when was your coolness ever actually in question? Duh! Of COURSE you're a cool big sister!


Hey to the rest of the MOOvers: Marita, Moo, Rob, Monica, and of course, the Prodigal Babynurse, where ever she might be!

 

[monymony3471]

Lexy: I'm so sorry about your family's losses. {{{hugs}}}


Wendy do a seperate TR when you get back.


Cel: I TOLD you to stay out of trouble, didn't I?


Moo: Have fun at the beach!


Marita: You got to talk to your son, yea!!!!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Lex - for you and your family. What a rough week for all of you. I will say a prayer for you and your friend's families.

Cel- I would say that the drink in that picture is what got you into trouble. Glad you're ok, but please take care of yourself. Maybe I should have come along to be your chaperone.

Marita - Glad you got to talk to DS even if it was during the shower, and a quick cut off call today. At least you know he's ok.

Wendy - How did the family adventures go today?

RobIn - Congrats on the loss turned WIN! Glad you knew such rules. Your wife should be so proud to have a good DH as you.

PJ - Didya make it to the drive in tonight? Hope the weather cooperated. It's gonna be a long night here. I figure the weather radio will go off at least once. Just hope it doesn't involve a middle of the night bathroom (tornado safe room) trip. Don't worry Wendy, you'll get used to it after living here a while.

Don't know if I should tip off all the women on here in case the same thing is going on at your house (as a surprise to you all): Right now, at this exact moment, DS7 and DS12 are cleaning the main floor of the home (extra large living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room). DS15 is cleaning HIS bedroom (a chore in itself) and DS10 is drawing Mother's Day signs.

Ok, here's my dilemma if there are any night time Moovers out there: There is nothing we have to wake up for in the morning and DW is an early morning person and I'm a night owl (as some of you may have determined from my posting times on this thread). Now, I don't mind waking up early to an alarm in order to get her breakfast prepared but how do I do that without knowing what time she will wake up alarm free? If neither of us set alarms, I know I will probably sleep a good hour or more longer than she does which will not work. I'm thinking maybe I'll just get up and start breakfast when she gets up and just serve it in the breakfast room. OR do the same thing and tell her to just stay in bed and watch TV or read or whatever until breakfast is ready? (Obviously, it's been a while since I've done the breakfast in bed thing. ) I already told her that if she wakes up in the morning because she hears the kids doing something AND if she would prefer to keep on sleeping at that time, then go ahead and wake me up and I'll handle them / correct them / entertain them, whatever. (Actually, I'd be willing to do that any weekend for her.)

You're welcome Marita.

Awwww, thanks Marita. I have my good moments (but my bad ones too).

RobIn - Congrats on the loss turned WIN! Glad you knew such rules. Your wife should be so proud to have a good DH as you.

Thanks Allie!

Hmmm, that's what I tell her!


ETA: DS12's tournament that was rained out this weekend was a Qualifier for the Super Series World Series in Memphis in July. IF they had played and won the tournament, they would have qualified for post-season play in Memphis. Oh well, more tournaments to come to still get that done. Too bad Breezy probably won't be moved down there by July 12th - 19th or I could have met the "world famous" UtahMama.

Just stopping by to say

My ME tags and my kids' park tickets from Undercover Tourist came today!!
Yay!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Rob, I am sure whatever you do will thrill DW. YAY on the boys doing a great job around the house.

Steph, WOOHOO, getting close!!!!!1111

 

[UtahMama]

I'll be cleaning and vacuuming my OWN house on Mother's Day, cuz DH torked his foot during football today. Luckily, I also picked out the specific gifts I wanted for Mother's Day (a gold watch with diamond hearts) and some roses that my cats have been gnawing on since yesterday

Whatever else will be a surprise. IF anything.

Family fun will have to wait till tomorrow for the miniTR. 2 of the 3 hooker nieces were not there. So we're limited to my over affectionate 14 yr. old nephew who kissed me good bye on the lips. Luckily, I was wearing my LIP PLUMPING lip gloss, so his kiss made his lips numb and plumped. AND my one niece (age 18, size 24) spilt out of her tube top. That was fun.

 

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Thanks again for all the kind words and prayers, everyone.

I pawned DS off on a friend's mom so I could go to the funeral with the girls. There were lots of nice tributes to the girl who died. She had been working every Saturday on a memorial garden at school for two classmates who died. She also signed her driver's license and her organs were donated and she planned to be a missionary to Kenya. I can't imagine being her mom today on Mother's Day. Count your blessings.

Celery....Your Epcot day looks like fun! You look great! How much have you lost 120? That's a whole person you're no longer carrying around. Good job!

Wendee....Split the tube top?! Kissed on the lips? Are you sure DH's family's not from Eastern KY? Hey and did you hear Rob call you *world famous*?

Marita....Are you gonna hafta get the car fixed or is it kinda unnoticeable? Bummer.

ROB! You are raising those boys right....having them clean the house and their rooms for Mother's Day. You are the best husband EVER...fretting over when to get up. So cute. I am (of course) the first one up. And both the girls spent the night out. I think I'm gonna cut the grass today and see if anybody tries to stop me.

Twinkie....Thanks again.

Everybody have a WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY!

This is usually reserved for weddings but I think it applies to moms too:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
--1 Corinthians 13:4-7

 

[celerystalker]

melinda - Oh my goodness about mimi's friend.
I've lost 136.2 pounds. woo! Hopefully this trip will only put 5 back on.


Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there!!!
I'll be calling and waking my mother up shortly.

I'm off to AK rope drop!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS!!!!!!!!!
Cake for everyone.

I'm off on a tour de cemeteries to put flowers on both of my grandma's graves and then I'm headed to my mom's house where I am in charge of brunch. This was rationalized because clearly my mom shouldn't be in charge of cooking on Mother's Day, my dad is of course useless when it comes to cooking, and it's my little sister's actual birthday (17th) today, so she didn't want to have to do any work, either. Both sides of the family are coming over, so I'm sure there's an aunt or two that will be willing to help me. I hope all the moms have a lovely, wonderful, perfect day!!!!!!!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Happy Mothers Day from ''the road'' again! We left the hotel around 9:30 and are now in South Carolina after a very rainy start to the day. It has cleared up as we'e driven south and we're feeling lucky to have had such a gorgeous day for the beach yesterday.

Hope everyone's having a lovely day. Mari joined us for our less than stellar Holiday Inn Express breakfast and we loaded up some of herthings that my sister is transporting that she'll be storing at Home. I'm hoping the rain stops so they can pack the truck. My Mothers Day gift is not having to help with the move!!!

I'm still not sleeping too well due to this bronchitis so I think I'll try to nap!

Later!!!!

[QUOTE Lexi]Marita....Are you gonna hafta get the car fixed or is it kinda unnoticeable? Bummer.[/QUOTE]

You can definitely notice the hood being bumped up on the side, but the dent in the front not so much. I think I will just let it go for now.

I decided not to go along to Epcot today, just not feeling like it. So DH and DD left by themselves. I think DD was happy I wasn't going.

DS called again today. I feel so bad for him. They are making the guys work day and night, learning all sorts of things. And if they say a word out of order quoting something, or forget to say "Sir", they get a demerit. And no time to eat. They have to drink 3 glasses of liquid at every meal, and can't leave (the entire table) until they finish the liquid (water or Gator Aid), but they have to leave once the table in front gets up. So he says he tries to finish his liquids first, and gets in about 6 grapes and 1/2 yogurt per meal.
Tomorrow is dorm inspection and Uniform inspection. He said he shares a dorm room with 2 other guys. He had to run, no time, too much to do!!!
I guess this really is bootcamp!

Called my mom today, she was happy I called (it was already 7pm her time). I asked how she was and she said "you have to be satisfied, nothing you can do" . She still has a nurse come twice a day. At least she is well enough that my brother and SIL can leave for vacation on Tuesday for a couple of weeks. This whole time with mom has taken it's toll on them too. and they are 68 and 72 or something like that and working 10-12 hours in their business.

Hope everyone has a nice day today!

Hey Marita - should I stalk your DD and DH anyway?

I made it for the "show" at AK rope drop - but if you're not up front, you can't hear.
And by the time I got to everest, it was too crowded, so I just got a fast pass.
Then I did Dinosaur and primeval whirl, went back and used my fastpass for ev erest, got one for kali and safari and did the jungle trek and gorilla walk (can't remember what it's really called) in the meantime.
Oh!
I saw devine twice!
my only complaint was that the gorilla area was crowded. everything else was smooth sailing.
and I have a new favorite restaurant!!!

yak and yeti is DEEEEEElicious!
As long as you like asian cuisine.
I want to eat there again. I hope Moo's in the mood.
I also had spoodles last night for the first time - which was good, but the waitress charged me for gratuity then put the little card in my check that said she didn't charge me gratuity? I felt like I cheated her, but one tip is plenty!

Off to the pool until moo arrives!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Feel free to stalk them! DH is wearing a white Tshirt with a bavarian logo, LOL. But it sounds like you'd rather lounge around the pool.

Enjoy it!

Well, carp, this means that I can't be pissy at my son who-is-not-home-to-see-me-yet-because-he-wastoobusygettinghisownway this weekend).

Anyone wanna another teenager? He's 18-going-on-6-again, and he's nearly potty-trained??!!

LOL, Steff. Sorry about that, really

DD or DH didn't even utter the "Happy Mother's Day" words today. Let alone anything else. So you are not alone!

 

[UtahMama]

Wendee....Split the tube top?! Kissed on the lips? Are you sure DH's family's not from Eastern KY? Hey and did you hear Rob call you *world famous*?

No, better, I meant she SPILLED (spil't) up out of her poor lycra tube top!!!!!
I still can not get the image of her HUGE yucky bosoms out of my cranium.

Rob has been hypnotized or bamboozled or something. Poor lamb isn't thinking straight. It's the cleaning fumes, that's all. Besides "World famous" is subjective.


MOO! You're almost there!!!!! You need to keep our girl, Celery, on the straight and narrow! Unless of course you were totally planning on a "What happens in WDW, stays in WDW" week????

OKAY! This is turning out to be quite the (profitable) great Mama's Day.
I woke up after a late night to 3 of my 4 children poking me awake, saying stuff like, "Dad? I think she needs to sleep more. She's gonna yell at us" as I pretend to snore loudly. Norah says, "MOM! We want to got to IHOP to get a Beanie Baby!" (at least she's honest). So, daddy got the kids ready which included mismatched orphanwear and attempted to brush Norah's hair. All I can say is I better not die until she reaches the age to care how she looks He parted it down the middle and slicked in down with water and hairspray. The hairspray was a nice touch since in the 12 years together, he probably saw me spray hairspray once or twice and he figured that's what he was supposed to do to her hair. The final product was frightening, but I was very thankful for the effort. Norah didn't mind she looked homeless so why should I?

We ate omelets at Ihop and took off to the mall. Darned if they didn't have the VERY purse I've been searching far and wide for! It's Giraffe (fake) with hot pink and it's the coolest thing EVER (with matching wallet!).

At Barnes and Noble, he took the kids to the children's area so I could have some fun actually browsing! Do you know how wonderful it is to have any length of time in that store to yourself? I could spend a good hour in the Humor section alone!

Got some sweet 600 thread count cotton sheets as well as the comforter to match. Plus the roses yesterday (that my cats keeping eating!) and my new watch.

AND, Mister-Man (Jordan) got me a PINK Minnie Mouse card with a Walmart gift card in it (the amount is a mystery) with instructions not to buy groceries with it!!! How cute is he? I love how he felt it necessary to point out it was my favorite color and it had Disney, as if attention to detail is his newly acquired man-skill?

I'm pleasantly surprised. But I'd be just as happy with home made cards and a fist-full of dandilions

I still have a guaranteed uninterrupted nap coming up too. We shall see!

All in all, being the Boss of Everyone is a good thing!
