MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 2

[lalijack]

Twink! You snuck in while I was typing up my drivel!

Glad all the mini-snack cakes are accounted for!

My fridge was so bare earlier today that DD actually asked, "Mum, is the grocery store on vacation this week?" So I stopped for groceries on my way home from work. Which threw off my entire evening schedule. Darn!

On the bright side, now I can actually concoct some edible fare for tomorrow's breakfast.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Hi, Twink and Lynette! It feels like a weekend because I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

My grocery situation is getting pretty dismal, but I'm trying to eat up what I have on hand before our trip so I only have to shop for trip essentials and breakfast bars.

Goog thinking on the groceries, Moo.

This week will last f-or-e-v-e-r for me, since I am now adding a half day on Thursdays to my workweek. Plus, 3 of the kids' activities start up this week, so my downtime is hacked significantly. *sigh*

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

did anyone "see" that new post...naked cats...& here i was
getting all exciting...thinking c~ girl ..was coming out..in public...

,

...only because you bring it out of me....c~girl, & i you for it!

m&m moo?..don't we send our kids to college..to learn?

i mean besides football? ha!....ever ,really think..what going on? there
was an exchange student from japa..oh, that's the sport where all
the players run into each other..trying to hold unto their balls?

...don't get me wrong..i think it could be a positve activity
if...the "real objectives were focusing on the students, players,
communties....and palying by the rules...for everyone benefit..not
just gambling..& $$$....* some of the worst manipulation..i know, is from
this sport...& just for points.... . i guess, we can comfort
the die hard m-fans..look how your misery making ...msu happy....

sometimes..i make a lil'fun..by using the term dirt...but you know..how
much land is worth...

..ok--i admitt it...iam looking forward..toward you all getting it together..

. its sad..we won't be there this year...til xmas week...again ..if
you ever meet my lil'cutie..she "is"..alot more than i ever claimed here!


oh, nabbyyyy, girl???? ...i'm already..watching the lil'critter,
taking my summer days..down ...his lil'stinky hole!

oh, eeyore, i'm sorta extra over reactive....however, if you ever read
it slowly..i think you will find some useful info./...cos underneath,i 'm
showing what we are having sucess with..fighting depression..other
than , here'take a pill. this is my format...here...as i try not to be soo
proferssional...* people are scare of psychatric professionals...based
on sterotyping...like movies....[ our # 1 problem?..is getting our patients
..to leave us-not stay!]....however, to do the translations, i often refer
to my own personal point of views..like my wife. & kids. the more one
take time to understand the body functions-and our feelings these
things are producing, increase our selection processes!

"you should see the nurses" i work with...and their dynamics...nuthin
like the nurse in one flew over...you have no idea how ignorant that
nurse was protrayed...then you 'll understand how offended we are!

over the years..i have found maturity..if i was as god looking as my
oldest son..i would been as naughty..as paris h. or as smart-a britney
s. ? instead...i was treated very much..like a nerd..however, my thinking
was nuthing like it...but then...i had became aware....it was more special
to have morales and values....so i started passsing....on what i never
had..and when i met my lil'cutie..i knew..she was in~deeds, very special,
just being a nice wholesome girl...but our life...together..has been no
fairytale...with alot of challenges and me losing my parents..in our first
five years....i think..one of the critical lesson children should learn
from their parents...is to recognize thne good & bad..and to chose
the good things and improve the bad...for their children.

in no ways...i'm suggexting to live like me..however, i do understand the
dynamics..i am making my references...do not change for any of us..that's
reality...if a person only recognizes their mistakes...and take corrective
measures..i am predicting a very sucessful life...but that basic of ideas,
iam strongly suggesting, one practices..what they want to become...
[ if one steals..then one becomes a thief ]...so forth. and if that is
in reality...then if we do today..what we want to remember tomorrow,
is the best way to avoid regrets......

..all i know....the more i apply my medical knowledge and scienctific facts
..toward measuring the values of the bible..the more in awe, iam of the
one true creator..that set the "wonders of life"..in motion... i have no desires
to impress others..except sharing, what i feel~ i been truely blessed.

/\/..i should not be alive..nor can i say i deserve all the blessings , i have
received..all i can say..i know what to do with them....share & be happy!

so , is there a god? i know myopinions are irrelvant...however, i have
never let others...set their limits..on what i can imagine and learn....

..if you like, here's my observations....physics & science ..is badly
infuenced by man's desires..for recognition..& therefore,..alot of reality
are manipulated or mangled..., let me work it....as ,i will
predict if you take an endless numbers of paint buckets & over turn
them uspside..the rsults will never vary. but if you add the abilty
of organized thinking...from our human processors, then beautiful
works of art can be produced by individual efforts? "intended purposes
require an ability....to manipulate the materials @ hand...giving
us the abilty to accept/reject or alter reality..in time. and with using
that as my measuring stick, is where my belief in god ..is validated.
why?....because the more man uses science and physics to project
his claims....the testimony for beleiving in faith..grows...into a very
palin & simple reality that cannot be disputed..the very thing that
makes the existance for life...also took an "organized" thought process
to make it so...just like creating art from buckets of paints...

, faith to me, is what a person truly believes...in their .

so..i may share..my feelings..in no ways, iam trying to influence others..
except..believe in your dreams..and seek happiness...by reality....once
one learn to separate their choiceds from negative/positive outcomes..
increases their chances for finding happiness if.....*] [something i based
all my professional interventions on]...if one is aware of their own
values system..* & that is effected by family values by 2 ways...where
you have them..or not.

me?..i like feeling happy, and one thing i really,really enjoy..is bringing,
giving, sharing ..anything i can do..with my lil' partner...

fyi..i don't jerk people around....& i don't like those chosing to hurt others..
be it from either sex.[ i like my life to have better meanings than that].
violence, has no real values ..by my ways of thinking,

however, i can be tempermental,,,,my name came from lil' dear ..based
on her observation...

..ps... moo, i butter not see anyone eating mickeyt bars..unless bringing
me one home???

GOOG MORNING!

Thanks for the sympathy on the glasses. Upon closer observation...with my dollar store glasses...I can see that it's just the wire that goes under the lense on the bottom side that is broken. Maybe it's fixable?!

Twinkie....So glad your sugar is OK! I HATE those tests! I actually refused a couple last go round...namely the amnio.

MommyP....You're right! The banana is healthy! And the ice cream has calcium! I don't see a problem here? (When I was pregnant, I baked cherry pies. They're made of fruit!)

Marita....Sending prayers for DS!

Pumba....Scary about 9/11! Way too close!

Baby PJ, NAB, Lil G, Lynette, everybody........

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Goog morning, Sunshines!!!

Marita...for your son, but also a good philosophy for everyone to adopt. Almost halfway through the week!!!! Have a good Wednesday, everyone.

 

[MommyPoppins]

Well I've had my first leg cramp. It came last night whilst I was slumbering and it came hard. And twice. So much for that banana being loaded with potasium. It was so bad that when I reached down to rub it out I could FEEL a knot. My calf is still sore today.

When exactely does the third trimester start? I think I am getting close. So far this week I have had 2 third trimester symptoms. Swollen ankles and leg cramps.

I guess I will add a glass of gatoraid into my daily eating habits.


I need to finish eating and get the kids motivated. For some reason they are sitting in front of the TV when they KNOW they are supposed to be getting their books out.

 

[babynurse1]

When exactely does the third trimester start? I think I am getting close. So far this week I have had 2 third trimester symptoms. Swollen ankles and leg cramps.

28 weeks is generally considered the beginning of the third trimester. Although I've seen some literature say it begins at week 26. They can't get their facts straight on the stages of labor either. Early labor is sometimes characterized as 0-3 cm's, and then I've seen it as being 0-4 cm's.

Do you still feel a knot? Is your calf still sore? Is it red? Warm to the touch? Or is this just one of those pregnant leg cramps? I'm concerned about all you dissers, you know.

Marita to your ds.

Twinkie: I got to pick what flavor glucose to drink, did you? My choice was pukey cola or nauseating "mountain dew"

LilG: Yes! I'm offended by the nurse ratched comments too. We are NOTHING like that, are we?

Good morning to all.

The wheel of wonder that my midwife gave me last pregnacy(the one they use in the office to determine your due date) says it begins at 25 weeks. It says that the 3rd trimester is 4 months long. Whateva. That is not cool. I will ask my midwife tomorrow, "Just how far along am I?"

Not warm to the touch, no knot anymore, no redness. I don't think it's sore anymore. Just a leg cramp. It hurt like the dickens though. I don't think I've had one since my last pregnancy.

 

[UtahMama]

Happy HUMP dayyyy (giggle)

I cut my bangs last night. I have to say, I cut OTHER people's hair MUCH better.

All I can say to describe them is Dora the Explorer.

Just in time for our trip.

Last year I decided it would be great to go tanning JUST before our trip and got nice and burnt. So when we actually went, it was at that itchy stage. My BUM was the worse effected and it's not generally a ladylike thing to scratch your buttocks in public. And I didn't. Wanted to , though!

10 more days!!!!

 

[eeyore45]

lost internet service at home

Working 5th grade LD today - love the kids!!

for leg cramps IF you have presence of mind, when the cramp comes instead of rolling up to massage try very hard to flex/point - its the hardest thing to do because of the pain, but it truly works to get the muscles back where they belong!!


here comes the kids!!

 

[NAB]

Morning All,

It is a cool one this morning.

We had wicked weather yesterday. Heavy rain and hail when I went to pick the kids up and then again last night the wind really picked up and was bending the trees.

I just watched TV last night. Biggest Loser started again and Big Brother was on too. I really do not like Ed and Danielle...grrrr

Marita -- for you son.

Babynurse-- they have different flavours of that drink. They only had orange when I did mine.

Pumba -- that is scary I would be thinking the same as you.

Moo-- hope you enjoy your day off and that hubby is ok.

Mommy P-- ouch on the leg cramp. I get them sometimes too.

Ever notice when how fast a pregnancy goes when your not the one pregnant. It seems like you just told us you were pregnant.

 

[TwinkieMama]

over the years..i have found maturity..?

hee hee Lil G! Your posts are always a goog read. Lots of philosophy laced with funny. Thanks.

GOOG MORNING!

Thanks for the sympathy on the glasses. Upon closer observation...with my dollar store glasses...I can see that it's just the wire that goes under the lense on the bottom side that is broken. Maybe it's fixable?!

Twinkie....So glad your sugar is OK! I HATE those tests! I actually refused a couple last go round...namely the amnio.

1. Take the glasses in- they really can do wonders. I bet it is fixable.
2. Yes I refused most tests with the twins with the blessing of my dr.... the bloodwork ones don't really have "normal" results for two babies. The only one I got pressure on was the amnio. But that is a long story and now it has a happy ending. I did have an amnio with Goldenchild but that was at 38 weeks so I didn't feel it was very risky.

28 weeks is generally considered the beginning of the third trimester. Although I've seen some literature say it begins at week 26. They can't get their facts straight on the stages of labor either. Early labor is sometimes characterized as 0-3 cm's, and then I've seen it as being 0-4 cm's.


Twinkie: I got to pick what flavor glucose to drink, did you? My choice was pukey cola or nauseating "mountain dew"

I have no knowledge but I always thought it was 28 though I notice changes (decrease in energy, increase in discomfort) right at 27 weeks like clockwork.

I never asked nor cared about what "stage" of labor I was in.... however the cm number is very important!!!!

NO! I did NOT get to pick a flavor. I was given the disgusting orange soda flavor. It is a measure of how hungry I was that the first 5 ounces didn't really taste that bad.

MP- I have been having those leg cramps daily for a couple of weeks. The only thing that works is to leap out of bed and put all my weight on the offending leg. Makes for a very restful night. Not.

Yesterday was exhausting. I went to DS's football game. (Celery is right he needs a cool knickname) Sitting on the bleachers in my delicate yet hippo like condition resulted in lots of aches.

I need to get motivated too. Unless we are having cold cereal for the next 2 meals. Which isn't a half bad idea.

 

[MommyPoppins]

Sandy - Flexing my foot is what brought on the cramp in the first place!

Nab - That wicked weather sounds nice. It makes it so much cooler here when it's rainy during the day.

Twinkie - Me too on the stages of labor. With my first I walked around at 3-4 cm for 3 weeks. So "technically" I was in labor for 3 weeks. lol. My midwife didn't want to let me go home at my last appoinment(the day before I had him) because I was 4-5 with my bag of waters bulging. But I wasn't contracting at all so she sent me home. When the attending DR was looking over the charts at the end of the day she flipped when she saw that Patti sent me home. lol. Thank googness she did since I didn't even start having contractions until 5am and he wasn't born until 6:30pm.

I didn't even know they HAD other flavors. All I've ever had is orange.

Last night we had a goog Florida lightening storm. Our lights flickered once and we lost FOUR of those stupid expensive "energy saver" light bulbs. So now everytime it storms we need to make sure that all the lights with those bulbs are turned off. They aren't saving us any money if we have to replace them every few days.

 

[celerystalker]

Here's today's funny story.
tammy dropped me off at work yesterday and as we were switching drivers, one of the accountants saw me. When I ran into her later in the day, she said
"Was that your son with you this morning?"



"Umm. No. That's a girl. And she's my roommate."

So I tell Tammy.
Expecting sympathy.
Right?

Her response to why it was odd?

"If I were your son, why wouldn't I be in school?"



Not "Oh! You're younger than me! How could I be your son?" or "I'm a girl! Can't she tell?" Nope.
she wonders why she isn't in school.


And just so y'all know, I DO NOT LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A CHILD THAT DRIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And tammy doesn't look young enough to be a kid.

Conventions dept made an exceptional performance for spending:

Budget $11,000 Actual $67,000

OH MY GOODNESS! NOT ALLOWED! MArita that is awful. They need to be fired. I have to do the church's budget sometime before I leave.
eek.
I'm scared. it's my first time to do it by myself.

So much for homework. My sister has been talking nonstop for 20 minutes to me on the phone venting about her psycho roommate. She just heard the typing and told me "pay attention to ME...the online people can wait!"

Speaking of your sister - you know I leave for the world very soon.

Speaking about talking non-stop, there is this one person at work (who I see in the smoking section) dont yell!!!!!!

This woman talks non-stop!!!!!! NON STOP!!!!!! I sat there for 15 minutes today, maybe 20, more than cig break, listening to her vent and talk! I bet I said ok and yes maybe twice the whole time! I think she broke up with a boyfriend who dropped her TV but she doesnt care, and she is renting an apartment whose owner said they are going to fix holes in the wall, but she said she didnt care cause she loves the area and she will just fix it herself and there is a pond and it has benches ant its 40 mins away and there is an old man next door and a nurse working swingshift the other side and there are benches and the guy ( I think he is an old boyfriend) is just sad drip and she prays he will get better, and he doesnt care about her things and he dropped her TV and she doesnt care if it doesnt work, she will just throw it out
I am sure there is more, PM me if you care, LOL

Heaven help anyone living with her! THis was not just today, ti's every time. Today was just a very extended version.

Eek. This tired me out just reading it. I can only imagine listening to it.

But, uh....just to ease my mind, would you do a quick head count at your house? I just want to be sure that you didn't consume one of the Twinkies during your post-fast feeding frenzy.

Anyway, love you all!!!!!!!

Love you too, Marita!

did anyone "see" that new post...naked cats...& here i was
getting all exciting...thinking c~ girl ..was coming out..in public...

,

...only because you bring it out of me....c~girl, & i you for it!

Hehehehe. Love you too, lil g.

All I can say to describe them is Dora the Explorer.

Happpy almost birthday!

Ever notice when how fast a pregnancy goes when your not the one pregnant. It seems like you just told us you were pregnant.

It's like I think I'm pregnant too - our teacher last night in foster parenting class is 9 months pregnant with twins - all I could think about was mommyp and twinks!

 

[celerystalker]

Oh yeah - twinks, I'm fasting for you today.
we're out of yogurt and cereal bars at home.
so I had nothing to eat.

 

[pumba]

morning everyone.....the night before last was the call from my dm not knowing whether it was am or pm......then LAST NIGHT......dear dang dog.(whom we love so much) weighs in at 58 lbs or more now...well she jumped back into bed after yelling at the college students that were going back from the college hangout and she stepped on my upper portion of my body.......I yelled a ca ca word at her and hubby just patted her to lay her down......then she gets up and yells at the paper person ...who seems to come awful dang early.....3 am....and then she jumps back into bed and lays on top of my shoulder and back.....I am thinking that I will SHUT THE DANG DOOR....
Just made a big pot of spaghetti sauce with hot sausages and meatballs too.......decided I would do that cause it is nice and cool out.......later i will make my hubby an apple pie.......throw away his birthday cake and my pumpkin pie and get onto that apple pie......warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream on top.....now I am cooking...ROFL.

SIX days till we leave......I am anxious but you guys already knew that....hubby and I need to go and relax and enjoy ourselves.....and we will....have my clothes laid out on the chair in bedroom and some of the shirts I need to pick from are hanging on the silent butler in the kitchen.......hubby made this butler from a design his dad did 50 odd years ago......we had left over oak from when hubby made my kitchen cabinets and this is pretty too....soooooooo off to do something else......oh yah....the pie... and lthis too

 

[NAB]

I thought I would love the kids starting later in the morning but it really is screwing up my routine. By the time I get back from walking them and have breakfast it is almost 10:00. Before you know it is almost 2:00 and really haven't got much done.

Pumba -- you will be there before we will. Just as you are getting there I will probably start my packing. Unless it stays cool like today then I can start earlier because it is almost jeans weather today. Why is your butler in the kitchen? You are talking about one of the thins men hang there suit coats etc on?

Mommy P --Thanks for reminding me that I have to change my flag. I usually have my apple/fall one out by now.

Celery-- I did not know that Tammy is older then you. Besides Tammy can't be a boy , she has well you know... piggy banks.... and no head.

 

[celerystalker]

Nab - she's only 4 months older. heh. but she's still older, dangit!

I'm off to the Dr. Have to have a physical for the foster parent application. talk to y'all later.
