I've seen those Cow Parade figurines! But I don't have any. It's too hard to decide. I kind of like the birthday one. I would think $100 is overpriced though.

I tried to start a new game with you, Wendy, and Mony, since my current games aren't available, but it wouldn't load.

 

[lalijack]

Arrrgh! Don't those Scrabulous dudes know how I need my Scrabble fix? Very inconsiderate of them!



I've seen the birthday Cow Parade figurine. We don't have that one. The ones we have are all retired, which is why they're all so ridiculously expensive. I saw dollar signs appear in CBM's eyes when I showed him the values of the styles we have in stock. That'll come in handy when I tell him at the end of the summer that I want a big, fat RAISE!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Yes . . . retired figurines are usually ridiculously expensive.

Which is a pain when you have a collection.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Wait. Facebook isn't working for you 2 tonight? Alert the press!!!! Seriously, I'm on there right now, have you tried recently?

 

[lalijack]

Peej, Facebook is fine....it's the Scrabulous application that isn't working.

 

[RobInBigKC]

Moo! Did you head off to bed and leave me alone tonight?

[babynurse1]

We had a great trip.

Glad you had a nice trip, and oh btw:

Sweet, yes.
Innocent, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I resemble that remark. hee hee

Yes, I am in my tub. It's the easiest place to take pictures.

I, too, want to ask why, but I will not. You look LOVELY. I cant believe how much weight you've lost. Quite the hotTie now, arent ya?

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to the gym I go. Who can name that movie quote?

Snow White and the Seven Gym Rats?

p.s. I loved the picture. Y'all looked so purty. Hollywood is sooooooo red headed wench. ha!

. Can you tell I keep him company.....

He sounds like a chatter. I'm glad you two could become bff's so quickly.

We could make it a prairie trip instead. Cow tipping, anyone?

I wanna go! We could all play IRL truth or dare.

Moo! Did you head off to bed and leave me alone tonight?

-- Rob

Who would leave such fine company?



Did any of y'all close to me feel that earthquake this morning? It shook the bejeezus out of CrazyNurse Ranch. I think the epicenter was in Illinois, but they say the tremor was felt throughout IL, MO, IN, and KY. I have been in an earthquake before so I knew that's what it was, but the kids woke up (about 5:30) and thought it was a tornado. Except the redhead. He slept through the whole thing.

Caleb came down stairs and said "what was that?" and I told him an earthquake, and then he just said "oh, ok" and went back upstairs and went to sleep, like it happens every day.

1. I KNOW!

2. Hmmm, maybe Caleb is a Southern Californian wannabe being held in Indiana? Maybe he's destined for SoCal?

-- Rob

 

[babynurse1]

I have to clarify, now that the kids are up, dressed, and planted firmly on the school bus so that they might interact with wild turkeys at school.

The redhead did NOT sleep through it. maybe he is destined for SoCal? I checked on him and he looked like he was sleeping, but when he got up for school he asked me why his bed was shaking, so I told him, and then he said "Ohhhhh. I heard the cows moo'ing outside and I thought maybe one came into my room and shook my bed, but I was too tired to tell it to go away, so I went back to sleep."

Why would a cow coming into your room and shaking your bed not be a cause for concern?!?! Do my children have ice water running through their veins? Are they so far gone off the deep end that nothing phases them? Is it perfectly acceptable here at CRAZYnurse ranch to have cows traipsing through the house?

And then Caleb finally wakes up, and asks if I know what causes an earthquake. I tell him the short answer about the earth shifting usually around a fault line, but he just gives me one of these:

He then proceeds to educate the family on tectonic plates, epicenters, shock waves, the Mercalli Scale, the Richter scale, volcanic quakes, and the Elastic Rebound Theory. I asked him how he knew all this stuff. He said he read it once.

I feel dumb this morning. Carry on.

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY, ALLIE!​

Hope it's wonderful and filled with happy moments and awesome surprises!​

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOG MORNING!

I was out late with the girls last night and then woke up early to NO INTERNET! I KNOW!

Now I don't have time to ketchup. (as nebo would say)

I'll check back later!

Have a great Friday everyone!

 

[RobInBigKC]

Happy Birthday Allie!

First, . Thanks for sharing.

Second, to the question bolded above, I'm thinking the answer is probably yes -- along with goats, pigs, horses, and other various members of the menagerie.

Also, unless the CRAZYnurse Ranch home is truly a ranch home, I'm wondering how the cow got back downstairs? Has this cow been trained to actually walk DOWN stairs? You really need to keep the cows to the main floor only (I figured you ranchers would know that).

Good morning Darlings!

My Friend (Jennifer) just took off to take her dd (who used to bathe with Jordan ) back to BYU early this morning to get her settled. I have to go pick her up late tonight. For some reason, I thought the dd was driving herself.

Jen made a diet-friendly chicken dinner with mango salsa (YUm!) for my whole family last night. Plus salad, rice pilaf, and broccoli.

Jordan had a friend over whom Jen's dd seemed interested in him and was flirting mercilessly. She's a lovely girl so I told her not to try so hard...which her mother thanked me for.

Allie! Just a minute, baby, I got something special for THIS day for you.

Allie!! Happy Birthday!




Women Over 40…..


60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something else she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Melinda, BBN, and RobIN.

It started off with a BANG. I came in from my walk with the neighbor and my dogs to hear.....NOTHING. I go up to my DS room and he is sleeping! It was 15 minutes before school started. Well, he always asks me, "are you joking?" when I wake him up. Like I would joke about something like that. Anyway, he took the marathon shower, ate a cereal bar, brushed his teeth and was properly delivered to school with 2 minutes to spare. Now we only live a block away from the school, so that helps.

BBN - I heard about the earthquake on the radio while taking DS to school. They said people in TN and N. AL reported feeling it too. Guess the earth knew that I was turning 40, and it wanted to celebrate.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Happy Birthday Allie!

I hope your day is wonderful or at the very least earth shaking

Utah bought the perfect gifts as always so I am just going to sneak my name on her card but I did get you a pin to wear

I forgot to post last night that the RobInBigKC family has been selected to be an official Nielsen TV Ratings household. So, if any of you want us to plug your favorite show -- instead of telling them that we just watch the Lifetime Movie Channel all day long (only until baseball games come on in the evening of course) -- start the nominations now.

Fun, isn't it? I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago. I woke up DS12 so that he could get dressed and all that to catch the bus at 6:42 and then left to take DS15 to school early for his early Wednesday morning school bible club. I got back home a bit after 6:50 and DS12 had gone back to bed! So, I had to wake him up (again) and drive him (since he missed the bus) to school, back to the same patch of ground (DS12's and DS15's schools are side by side) I had just driven to earlier for DS15!
