nab - too cute to call nicholas to give him his present!

moo - the surgery definitely cuts down on food costs
 
Guess I killed the thread today . . . :rolleyes:

Hope all the Moms out there have a wonderful Mothers' Day!!!
 
yes moo~~~~ one could say.....i pig out!, sure hope i don't
come down..with the swine flu.

...all i can say.....mp, i'm happy we're pass our "new baby days",

of course, stranger things....has happened, :scared1:


.....looking back, where have the time flew by. * the thing about
pictures...., you can sit down, and flipped thru the years in a
few minutes.


watching the "star trek" auctions & the different feelings from

the cast & crew.

human behaviors..aren't that hard to explained, nor complicated
in ...they were desigend for meeting needs ... & desires.

....and this year, has spilled into my own personal life, with a certain
set of problems..[ so i get to practice..what i preach] .


and one of my hobby~habits, is to do reflecting & look for dynamics

..behind the "thinking". for example, i think walt..had no idea....how
great or big, his "empire"...was destined..to be.....@ the begining,
just liked the feelings from creating and the family themes. [ i think,
....this, based on all his orginal work being lost thru legal means,
didn't even slow him down].


wow, oh wowsers!....our life systems, are sooooo simple. but the
underlying "dynamics"...it took to produce such "workings" , are also
in reverse. just a glimpse, from all my observations...& yet they provide
the same vision of..the universal....that is, the more i learn, the
more there seems to be discover.


used what life teaches you, no matter how insignificant one might
thinks...or feels. like the above observations.....it reminded me, of
the lil'miracle...i was a part of in nursing school.....that morning, i
was thinking...how easy, i was going to have it...never knowing how
quickly...all of my plans were going to change..nor the effects of my
actions.

* i had no clue. none @ all. until, my instructor hled me after class...,
& told me ..how the new grandmother~ let us know..that her daughter
"held" onto my voice..like a teddy bear."

see?..how faith sneaks..in there. so does alot of "great" things we all
can do.....with life simple dynamics. & all i am reporting.....there 's no
ways...all of these things "workings" under one "guide"....can be
explained by accident.

why ....it makes..me sooooo :yay:?! because,,,, the future is like
a empty notebook, waiting for all of us...to write the stories of
our livies, by the choices we are going to make....& they do
produce.....3 types, positive , negative, & no significant changes.

but i believe, that's a great power..that alot simple , lilthings..can
make ...up ..real miracles & beyond.

not 100% proven...but everything ..in life..seem to be connected ,
in one way or the other. like chemical interacting, effects our feelings
and our motivation & energy forces. and what is the first major sign
of life?...movement. and what are we doing ? daily activities....that
in turns..mixes~up our internal chemicals, making it possible for us to
meet our external needs.

the fact is, i kept giving...the lil'girl instructions, though she was
experiencing grand-mal seizures..because there was nothing else i could do.
...who would've thought? so watching, the star trek cast talked about
their bonds...do a pretend show, makes more sense....and i think there
are lessons..in that we should not give up..even when things don't make
sense to us..because there could be dynamics/powers.....beyond our
current reasoning, that could make the difference.

but the opposite is true..too. ignoring the realities & the knowledge
of supporting our livies......can causes terrible outcomes. that's the
responsibility..of our professional health care..to provide the basics, so
no person 's life is lost. [ yes, i'm very disappointed that our system
failed..my nurse friend. ] if these common sense things are ignored,
they will produced negative outcomes.

* i think..the craiglist killer....is an alarm. the fact, that the person
was in med school....how?

...it just like ..ignoring our needs for mental health...the things that are
true today ,were the same from the begining of time.....as it will be
in the future...."family values"....are required for living healthy, happy
livies.

..i believe, our society ..do not valued these common sense, needs.....
are used as "cover"...for "dangerous to others"..sick individuals, to
"hide"....& act on, those defective feelings.

.. i am learning , our legal system, & media...is more driven by
$$$ , then to protecting society. ..and with this, so goes prevention.

and making parents' even more importnat/ as teachers...and protectors.

well enough rambling, but...happy mother's day! :flower3: ,



..i'm getting old..but not that old, :laughing:....which reminds me....
life may have it's headaches...but it's still better than the alternative.
..& it has alot of...potential, by changes. :wizard:

no you didn't moo..it just took me alot longer..thinking & posting, :rolleyes1
 

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!"
To all the Mothers on our thread.



-
 
Moo: Congrats! I'm very happy for your accomplishment.

Happy Mother's Day! I wish you all a nice relaxing day.:)
 
Thanks, Mony! I just noticed that you're "Queen of the Pierogie Makers"!!! :) Hope you had a nice Mothers' Day!!!

I have yet to hear from my DD, but have had a nice, relaxing day. We just got back from doing a little shopping and seeing the new Star Trek movie (second time for hubby). I thought the casting was amazing! DH picked apart several things, but he must have liked it well enough if he went back to see it with me! ;)

I decided to freshen up my bathroom a little with a new shower curtain and matching towels. I like my current ones and will keep those so I can switch them back someday, but I was feeling like I wanted a change.

It's been pretty quiet here today. Hope everyone was out spending time with family and having a great time!!!
 
Happy Mother's Day!!

Disney-Aristocats-Mothers-Day-Card1.jpg


Hope all the moms had a great day. :goodvibes

day! :yay:,

nobody loves you like your mother....:hug:

to bad..."you~gals",..never got to meet mine...she was something..

else..& something special! :thumbsup2,[ well she had to be..

she had me, :rolleyes1...* i think jordan..was around 2, when
i glanced over.....& she first reminded me...of her grandmother.

..i saw on another site..about the stuff you brought home. we
still have our boys....."disney~the happinest meals". they're
designed..liked "mickey's house"...toontown wasn't there yet,

:laughing:
 
Mother's Day was wonderful. Spent all weekend doing family stuff.

Hubby said he didn't want to go the flower/jewelery route so this is what he got me....

a bottle of creme soda-- from Pop Shoppe, kind of speciality thing.

a can of cashews--favourite nut

a big bag of Chocolate covered almonds--yummy love these

three scratch tickets-- I won $10.00

Werthers butterscotch candies-- for my tickle in my throat I get often

peanut brittle-- not sure why this one, maybe he knew I would give it to him.:laughing:

All put in a gift bag he decorated for me. Hannah said he made the flower himself with her construction paper.

So now we are back to a very cold Monday the sun is shining but it is only in the 42 degrees right now 6 c.
 
Happy Day After Mothers Day Everyone!!!!



Moo- a BIG congrats to you!!!! Way to go!

MP- I hope your day was 6 times as nice. The bags look great. I know they would sell around here at those prices. I

NAB- I am glad you had a great mother's day! I forget that your Nicholas had a birthday a few days before my Nicholas. I love the cell phone surprise.

Lil G- I am sure your mom would fit right in here. :thumbsup2

pierogie queen- Happy Mother's Day! I have never had a pierogie- are they sweet or savory?

Lynt- I hope your day was wonderful and school project free.

Peej- I thought of you on our field trip. A thugling school was also there at the farmstead. All the teachers looked young and shiny and idealistic. The mamas... well lets just say it was very interesting to see the range of appropriate field trip attire. Especially as a trendy private kindergarten was also there.

BBN- Thinking of you my friend.
 
Sorry I went MIA on y'all. I had a CRAZY week, and I am very thankful to be alive and well and able to write this. Please read about my week.

Ok, on Wed. morning, I was leaving for work. A little early actually, which is unusual for me. When I get to the front of my neighborhood, I hear the tornado sirens go off. Now, our sirens go off all the time, and it is for a storm that isn't in my part of the county. I live in a big county. Well, I call a coworker, and ask her to ask the office staff where the storm is because they have a weather radio, and I had turned mine off because it drives my dogs nuts.

She tells me that it is West and South of me, and seems to be tracking due East. I continue driving. Now my commute to work is only 10 minutes tops. While driving, my husband beeps in. I decide to take it since he is my weather guru. Note to self: should have called DH FIRST! ;) He asks where I am, and I tell him I'm in the car on the way to work. He says be careful, the storm spotters had spotted a funnel cloud. I got his call at 9:00 AM.

I drive less than a half a mile down the road, and I hear a wierd sound off to my right, and then the WIND and RAIN really start coming at me. My heart is beating just writing this. I reached a curve in the road and knew that I better get around it so as not to be underneath the trees. It was the scariest thing of my life. I have never seen wind like that in my life! :scared1: There is a little Nissan in front of me, and all of a sudden a tree falls across the road in front of him. I call DH back, and tell him how bad it is, and ask what I should do. He told me that it was probably on top of me, and I should turn around and go home. I think he felt helpless, and wasn't there, so didn't know what to tell me. All the while the wind is really blowing around my Tahoe. I figured it was going to be my last call to my husband. Well, I finally get turned around (it is a really narrow two lane road, and I was right next to a bridge that had rushing water going through it due to all the rain), but then find another HUGE tree across the road. I was blocked, and had to ride it out in my car.

Finally, it all passes, and I ask DH what I should do. He told me to hang up and call 911 and tell them that me and the other gentlemen are stuck between two fallen trees. I do that and tell them to come get the first tree that fell because it was smaller and would take less time to cut out of the way. I also tell them that I am fine physically, just shaken up. Then I call work and tell them that I am stuck, and won't be there for a while.

I do another UTurn, and face the first fallen tree so that I would be facing the right direction when the firemen get there. Well, shortly after that some guys drove their truck to the other side of our fallen tree, and start trying to move it. Well, I decide to get out and try and help too. If we could break a few of the branches, maybe we could get through. Well, it wasn't going anywhere, and they decide to leave their truck and jump through our tree because they said that their family's house just got "F'd".

Let me just say here, that I heard that Fword enough that day to last me a lifetime. Why do people choose to use just language? :confused3 It wasn't necessary.

Anyway, I go back to my car, and my husband calls and tells me that he heard them dispatch my call. He keeps a police scanner with him at work. :thumbsup2 At that time, I heard sirens, so I told him I better go. Only thing, they were coming to the BIG tree, not the smaller tree. Well, when the gentleman and I got around to that tree, we hear a policeman screaming for us to stay back that there was someone trapped in a vehicle under that tree. I had just driven under that tree probably 30 seconds before it fell on her car. The Lord was watching over me. :angel:

There was a trailor right beside this tree, and it wasn't damaged AT ALL! The policeman was worried about the family inside, but they were already out, and yelling that they were *F'n* fine. :sad2: I decided I wasn't needed there and didn't want to be part of the problem, so I went back to my car. By this time I am soaking wet, and my cell phone battery is almost dead. I plug my phone up to my cigarette lighter, and sit.

Within a few minutes the firefighters showed up with a chainsaw to cut down our tree. I called DH back and told him. He asked if I was going to work, and that he recommended that I go home. At this point on the radio, they are talking of damage on the road I live off of. I call work and tell them that I am going home.

I am very impressed with our local fire dept. because they had me out of there by 9:35. :thumbsup2 Then they moved on to that big tree to cut it up and get it out of the way.

I had to go a round about way to get home, but the damage I saw around me was unbelievable. I am so lucky to be alive right now, and am so thankful to be alive!

I say all that to say that I LOVE Y'ALL!! :love:Eventhough, I have never met most of you, you are all my friends! :grouphug: Enjoy your familes and friends because in the course of 5 minutes, your life can change. God doesn't promise us tomorrow, and we need to appreciate every moment, no matter how good or bad, that he gives us.

Oh, and my DH sent me a note later in the day from the National Weather Service. I survived an EF -2 tornado with 115 mph winds. The Lord has a plan for me. :thumbsup2

Oh, and you can bet that the next time I hear that siren, I am keeping my butt at home! ::yes::
 
WOW ALLIE!!! :scared1:

I am so glad you are safe. Yes this beats the goose story. So glad someone was looking out for you that day. :hug:

Twinkie-- pierogies are not sweet. You know I don't know what the outside is made of? Pasta with a potato filling. There are all kinds of fillings though, maybe the outside is potato. My kids love the cheese ones , that come with bacon bits on the top and sour creme.

BIL is here again today. Running wires for the plugs. Progress. :thumbsup2
 
:banana:Yay for FIFTY pounds Moo!:banana:

Allie: So glad you are safe!!:hug:

Twink: ty my twin

Y'all: Sup?
 
Thanks, Twink and bbn! :hug:

Peej - Did you have a nice weekend?

Allie!!! So happy to hear that you made it through that ordeal safely :scared1: How scary :grouphug:

Nabbie - It sounds like you had a lovely Mothers Day :) It has been cold here too.


This afternoon, we went to my hubby's uncle's funeral. He was chief of our local police department for many years and a veteran, so it was a full military funeral with honor guard, VFW, and police and fire department participation. His son-in-law did the service and handled everything beautifully. The serviceman who played "Taps" was amazing.
 
Nab - Thanks! :hug: I think I am a tornado survivin' goose girl now. :rolleyes1

BBN - Thanks, me too! :hug:

Moo- Congrats on the 50 lbs.!! :thumbsup2 That is awesome!! Sorry about DH's uncle's funeral. How is hubby healing? It was scary, and hope I don't have to go through that ever again. :sad2:
 
Nab...sounds like you had a very nice Mother's Day. Now what are you going to do with your big winnings? ;)

Twink...I'm not sure which I enjoy more...the thug kids or the thug parents. Now picture me trying to have parent-teacher conferences with those parents. Right. Hope you enjoyed the field trip!

Moo...I meant to say congrats to you last night, but somehow that thought got lost. So, congratulations! :cool1:
My weekend was nice, thanks for asking. My dad had to work 24 hours on Sunday, so it was just little sister, mom, and me. We went to the 2 cemeteries to see our grandmas and I cooked dinner. Today is my little sister's birthday, so Ben, my little sister, her boyfriend, and I went out to Cheesecake Factory on Saturday night to celebrate that. My little sister's boyfriend is older than me. It was wIerd. I didn't like him. Of course, I think the big sister is required to dislike the little sister's boyfriend.

Allie...Oh. My. Gosh. That is so scary!! I'm so glad you made it through safely. I can only imagine how scared I would have been. :hug:

bbn...holla. :hug:

We are taking state tests this week. Blah. The kids hate it, I hate it, basically it isn't fun for anyone involved. It does keep them quiet though since I threaten them to within an inch of their lives if they talk during the test. Ha.

I have this one little girl who cries literally if someone so much as looks at her wrong. Right before she's about to cry she always looks at me and I always say "you're okay!" real quick before she starts. Sometimes I can convince her she's fine and we can skip the whole crying thing. Today she got really nervous during the test and she just looked at me and said "I'm okay?" I said "YEP!" and she moved on. I just thought it was cute. It's like I've trained her. :lmao: I also had another kid braid her hair with mud today at recess, but that's another story.
 
Happy Day After Mothers Day Everyone!!!!

Lynt- I hope your day was wonderful and school project free.

Yeah, what you said!

Thank you. My Mother's Day was both wonderful and school project free. I hope yours brought a smile to your face and no manna to your floors. ;)

I say all that to say that I LOVE Y'ALL!! :love:Eventhough, I have never met most of you, you are all my friends! :grouphug: Enjoy your familes and friends because in the course of 5 minutes, your life can change. God doesn't promise us tomorrow, and we need to appreciate every moment, no matter how good or bad, that he gives us.

Good gravy, Allie! Thank heavens you are okay! I'm glad you made it thru that ordeal unscathed. :hug:

This afternoon, we went to my hubby's uncle's funeral. He was chief of our local police department for many years and a veteran, so it was a full military funeral with honor guard, VFW, and police and fire department participation. His son-in-law did the service and handled everything beautifully. The serviceman who played "Taps" was amazing.

Those full-honors services are so moving, aren't they? How nice that your DH's uncle was honored in that way.

BTW, did I say YAY for your 50 lb loss? You must feel great about it! Way to go! :cheer2:

Blah for standardized testing. Boris is taking the math portions of the tests tomorrow and Thursday. He doesn't seem angst-y in the least, but his teacher has mentioned several times how test days are her least favorite days of the school year.

Peej to the rescue! Way to go on getting Miss Emotional to chillax. Poor thing. I wouldn't know what it's like to cry at the drop of a hat, but I bet it sure helps to have someone around who can calm you down with just a word or two. :rolleyes1
 
:hug:..thanks twink!, like always..you're on target & pick -
up the lil' , important thingys.

ha! disney happy meals...boxes, circ., 1988. & the last year

...my mother was with us. [ i had the boys down to visit...liked
twice that week, and she just had to spoil them rotten., poking
holes./..in their baby-food jars for collecting lightin'bugs. we sat
on the glider....spying on the neigbhors...makin funnies. , well,
it dosen't make sense to make fun of oneself...when there 're
plenty of neigbhors around. right?-:laughing: . yep, tell me...
you never..made "funnies" out of yours, barney smith. ]

remember "sad sack"? nooooooo, since you all are girls...&
sad sack..was in ..the army? :laughing:

late 70's..& everbody..were cb~ing , my mother call name? queen
bee.

yes..it's safe to say...she was a real character. :thumbsup2
 
I promise the next time I make pierogies I will take pictures to document the whole process. Maybe!!!! I'll even film it!!

cause i'm nice like that:cool2:


My pierogie recipe is very simple and I'll save the details for the documentary.
To answer your question Twinks, my pierogies are savory.

Allie, thank the Lord you are ok. I have to admit, I do love your stories. So, if you promise to keep Staying Alive, I'll promise to keep reading and enjoying.


I survived day camp with 2 5th grade classes, including bus ride there and back. Not to mention the fact that the bus was an hour late picking us up and we did not arrive to the school until 10:45pm.

Zack was one tired feller this mornin'



Wish me luck! I have my last final to take tonight AND its Cummulative with Essay! I don't know why she did that to herself, but it's the Dr. that has to read and grade them all.

Maybe I'll make it extra long with more than required examples just for kicks?!


Have a wonderful day!
