October 19th Cruisers again and again... Part 2

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Mom - Did you run into Cristina and Aunt Glory?? I am sure the guy was just trying to be funny....the funny part is that he probably really thought you were her mom. Why would you rather have your old phone then new phone? You can't even hear your stupid phone ring??? Blue Tooth would be WAY better than the phone you have now.

Good Morning

I am pretty sad today. Looks like Jaymee is going to join the Airforce. She seems pretty determined. She wants me to be happy for her, I am trying to be but my heart is breaking. Looks like I am losing 2 of my kids this year. Tiffany going so far away to school and Jaymee who knows where.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Barb, you are not losing the girls....the only way you lose them is if they don't want you in their lives. They are just moving on with their lives which is what we raise children to do.....God gives us children to raise and then we give them wings.

 

[Denine]

Barb: I can imagine how sad you must be.. I thought about joining the Air Force when I was in college to be a nurse. But, I knew they wouldn't want me with my back and then I met Jerry. There is still a part of me that wishes I joined. I wish Jaymee the best.

Stacey: Housepet! That is exactly what the rabbit would become. I am a nut for animals! Cute picture. Good luck on your CMA. Jerry minored in accounting in college. He could always go back for a refresher course if need be and do that.

Sandy: Maybe it is summer and we are holding onto water! I keep telling myself that the treadmill must be doing something!

I asked on the CB about nursing CE's and where people get them. I got a lot of websites mentioned. I guess I must be the last pen and paper person out there.

Until tomorrow.

Oh wow Sally. That was put so beautifully. Your mom is right Barb. Even though it is hard to accept it is so true.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Now Heidi, was that very nice to say the guy was just trying to be funny???? lol Just let me feel good about it ok????? LYMI

 

[Mickey02]

I am sitting here at my desk crying and trying very hard not to. I am so close to Jaymee I will really miss her. I already know the entire wings things but it doesn't make it any easier to let them go and especially when they are going so far away. I have been very blessed to have the kids that I do. It is just so hard to let go of them.

You know I love you. Since you and Stacey are skinnier than me now I have to hold on to something.

Sally - that was very well put.

Barb - what your mom said may be true, but doesn't make it any easier...trust me I know first hand and so does my mom and I only moved 2 miles away from her. We both knew it was good for me to buy my own place, but it wasn't easy!!! I wish I could help you out someway but I know it is not likely, but I can give you a hug.

 

[Denine]

Barb:

 

[Mickey02]

I wish it was only 2 miles I could deal with that. I am so close to Jaymee. I love all my kids but Jaymee and I have always been especially close. Shopping, pedicures, tanning, watching movies, and sharing secrets. She is like a best friend to me. I just have a feeling that this is it. We will still talk but it will not be the same. I really don't see her ever coming back here to live.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Barb - Don't go imagining and trying to predicting the future. Because you are so close to her, she may have a hard time without her best friend and move back to CO to be near you.

First off, time to be mean to my mom again....did you get the insurance so when you break the new phone you can at least get a replacement without paying hundrends of dollars???
And....for the "crazy" waiter that said you look like Cristina's sister....he must have wanted a big tip. Did you give him one??
Having a rabbit as a housepet is bad but not at the same time. The only bad thing is that every single cord and corner of the house has to be wrapped or else they chew, chew, chew. I have to admit, it will be nice when she does pass away (not for a long time hopefully though) that we can have nice painted corners instead of chewed on corners!!! Litterboxing training is very easy and is well worth it...she very rarely has an accident. She usually only has an accident when we come home from traveling because she has been holding it so long. But not too often.

BARB: First of all when they said "then we give them wings" you didn't know that it was literal. Jaymee will really get her wings in the Air Force! I do know how you feel. I cried and cried when my daughter moved to California. She was my shopping buddy, movie buddy, out-to-eat buddy, etc. It isn't the same as it was but she is happy

SANDY: I think I hear a little jealousy from your daughter!

Took Jake to the Vet. yesterday for the first time. He was just awful! They had to put a muzzle on hime. He tried to bite the Vet., the tech and any other person (except me) who came near him. I did find out the number on his microchip and called the company and found out his birthday 5/17/2003. Tomorrow the other dog goes to the Vet. Oh! No!

Union Meeting today and then Joyce and I went to the new Cheesecake Factory that opened in Cherry Hill.

Hope you all have a Tremendously Terrific Thursday. Toodles JEANNE

 

[Denine]

Barb: If you and Jaymee are that close, you will remain close. She may move away from CO, but not from your heart.

Jeanne: I hope the other one doesn't try to bite like that. Yikes! Say hi to Joyce and Bonnie for me.

Went to a book sale at the library this morning. I bought a bunch of books for $3.25. Most of then are for Kaleigh. I bought her a Birnbaum's Disneyland 2003 guidebook for a quarter.

Going out to dinner tonight...somewhere.

This has been the week that never ends and it continues tomorrow when I go to work.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb, how are you doing today? I know that we are all giving you advice but it is hard for you to swallow and accept. Please know that we all understand your feelings and are here for you. I know when the girls moved out (not at the same time thankfully) I didn't think I could go on. It was hard, hard, hard. It took awhile but now I am ok. Even though our circumstances aren't the same, I think you will grow to accept it.

Jeanne, sounds like Jake has a little attitude problem! I think you are right. The girls are a little jealous (in my dreams).

Denine, I absolutely love the used book bargain center in the library. Sometimes we are lucky and even hit a DVD or CD. A hint for you and losing weight. Drink lemon water (warm is the best). It helps flush out the salty food that you may have eaten. Believe me IT WORKS! I was hugely skeptical but it does work.

Headed off for the campground. Have a great weekend.

Buddy was an angel at the Vets today. They did say he was "morbidly obese". He weighted 31 lbs. and Min. Pins. are supposed to weigh 15! They did love him though and said every Min. Pin. they see is vicious but he is a little lover

Joyce and I went to a different Mexican Restaurant for dinner. The margaritas were VERY good but the restaurant was so hot I left at 7:00 PM. It is still sweltering here!

Hope you all have a Satisfying Saturday. I am off to work the weekend. Toodles JEANNE

 

[Denine]

Sandy: warm lemon water, huh?

Went out to dinner last night to a new place called Bucca di Beppa, new to us anyway. It was really good. there was $10 off coupon in the paper. They serve the food family style which is fine, but we both had to get the same thing. Kaleigh wanted spaghetti, so luckily they had a kids menu.

Jeanne: I guess Buddy needs a diet! Have a good weekend at work.

My work day was "one of those days". It didn't help that it was dark and rainy on the way in and I was tired.

No plans this weekend.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Good morning

I am glad to report that Barb is doing fine( she isn't happy about it but she is trying) with Jaymee going into the Air Force. I think it was just a shock at first but she really does want what will make Jaymee happy and right now she thinks it is to join the AF. Anyway we spent the day at the all day Disney class and she was in a good mood and we had a great time. The pages we did are as cute as can be.

She came home with me and her dad had spent the day researching lap tops for Tiffany and so she ended up ordering one....Tiff is going to be one happy girl.

I am going over there this morning to help her get the luncheon ready. I don't know what I can do as Michelles mom made all the food. I guess she loves to cook and wanted to do it....of course Barb is happy as Pixie is a great cook. The theme is roses and I am taking my grandmothers Haviland plates with roses on them. It is going to be another hot day......

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning

Back at work today. Busy weekend. I am pretty determined not to cry at work today. Jaymee spent most of her free time this weekend filling out paper work and studying for the test she has to take. I am doing better but only on the outside.

Thank you Sandy for your kind words of encouragement. I know as a Mom you understand the tearing feelings I am having knowing I have to let her go and wanting to hold on to her so tight she never goes far.

Jeanne How did you survive letting your daughter go? California is a long way from NJ. Is your son close? You only have the 2 kids right?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Denine - I love Bucca de Peppa, it is so yummy.

Well I need some pixie dust as well. My mom went to her mail box this weekend to find a jury summons for me on August 21st in Federal Court. The summons states that it will be at least a 6 week trial. I am sending in all of my confirmation and cancellation information. I really hope they excuse me, because if they don't I may have to pay a $100 fine and stay in jail for up to 3 days so that I can go on this vacation that I have been planning for a year. I will not miss this dream vacation.
