PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 2a

[Bbgrizzle]

Luv! Just read your post. I'm so sorry you are going through that. Your little guy is adorable and he deserves the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you will do whatever it takes to help him get well. We love you!

 

[L107ANGEL]

Aww Kim I am so sorry you are going through this It sounds like you have a handle on the whole thing and I am sure Chris will cbe fine. I will be praying for your family as well. I too have had eating disorders, with help you can defeat this!

Mak, I would like to say that if we see you DISing tonight we'll tell you to go clean your house, but the reality is that we'll join in and distract you even more. Right 4's? She was supposed to be eBaying the other day and we were supposed to be keeping her on track. Not only did we not do that, but we allowed her to start a thread and then joined in. We're not good at helping people control their addictions.

Funny that your kittens are so big. Their daddy must have been a big tom cat! Our kittens (now cats, really) are teeny. I've always liked large cats and I really broke that rule with these little peanuts. But they are sweet, even my signature kitty who is into so much trouble. Not lap cats, though. Only one of my 4 is a lap cat. One of my dogs thinks that she's a lap dog, though (at 60 pounds).

I swear the daddy was a LION! That is how big Kovu's head is!!!
They are sweet!
Simba likes to watch the toilet flush (silly kitty!)- if hears you go into the bathroom, he will come running in and as soon as it's flushed he has his head sticking in the bowl watching the water go around?????

The DIS board is very bad for getting things done... I need to lock the laptop away so I can't sit in the family room and DIS - otherwise the other computer is in the guest room.

Angel - Thanks for the welcome!

Kim - big hugs to you and I wish the best for Chris and your family!

Miss Jasmine - yes scrubbed for today, and tomorrow at launch time we will be at Disney -probably in the GF.....

Bonnie - I hope you are feeling better! It is so hard being a mom and being sick! I hope you get a good nap.... Hmmm - I could use a good nap!
I'm a single mom and when I am sick I feel so HELPLESS.

(I hope I got the names right!)

Okay - back to work!

Oh, everyone! Thanks so very, very much for all your good thoughts and kindnesses! I'd forgotten how much fun it is to talk to all of you!

Mak--it feels funny to welcome you to this thread, as I haven't been around very much lately, but Welcome Welcome!!! I do hope you enjoy yourself here, and please know that I appreciate your positive wishes!

Jasmine!!! It is so nice to get to talk with you again! I'm going to PM you with a very specific question if you don't mind? Please don't worry about answering me anytime soon--I know you're busy with work, so please take your time! Thank you so much for sharing something so personal with me.

Once again, a big thanks to all of you!!!

Mak, if the daddy was a lion, you don't need to worry about mama cat sleeping around any more since that would have traumatized her!

Bb, sorry you're not feeling well. Too bad you didn't get a positive test--that would have been nice. Maybe it was a false negative. Are you late? You don't have to answer if I'm getting too personal.

Good Morning All

It's another day of preschool today. I hardly know what to do with myself when I have only one little kidlet with me, I feel like I'm missing something all the time.

makin- Hello. This is my favorite place on the Dis- and it's not because all the discussion about food and shoes, but it helps .
T&B- When do you get your furniture? Have you picked out the bedding yet? Do you have pictures? Would you like me to fire off more questions to you?
Bonnie- I'm sorry . I should have bought stock in PG tests for awhile. It felt like a wasted bathroom trip if I didn't pee on a stick .
4's- It sounds like the wedding plans are in full bloom . What's the count down on the big day?
ANGEL- What's cooking hot stuff? (a quote from the classic "Sixteen Candles")
Shug- Did all the sweet talk yesterday get you anywhere last night?
Miss Jasmine- How is work going lately? I know you were saying you were really busy, but I didn't hear any updates.
Luv- . I sent you a PM.

Mak....trust me, they stink at keeping you on task around here! LOL
ask me how my kitchen is coming along....

Luv, so sorry about your boy. I was surprised when you said it was your son since you only hear of girls with eating disorders. I will keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Bb, get better. Have you tried any gingerale? I know it helps me when my stomach is rebelling. Also I had 3 negative preg tests before I was confirmed with my first. I fact my first blood test was negative. Weird, huh?

OK...time to be good and get back to work. It's kitchen day today. I should have started with an easier room, but oh well. On a side note as I was cleaning I found a yankee candle coupon so I threw it on Ebay. It probably won't sell but at least it looks like I'm selling alot when I go into My Ebay. LOL

 

[Tigger&Belle]

red, I have to actually order the furniture in order for it to come. I think I'm going to order from a discount place (one of the North Carolina companies), but I don't know if I should call the two local places back and make sure they can't do better with the price. As it stands now, we save a lot of $ by going with the NC company ($500). But I'd prefer to go with a local store, but I sure don't want to pay that difference in price. BUT, I hate calling places and ask that question... (I hate calling places, anyway, as the "phone thread" will support, but this is something I really hate to do). I'm doing good just calling places and getting prices to begin with. Everyone has their hang-ups and this is mine.

4's, what are you doing in your kitchen? Cleaning or something else? See, I'm already trying to distract her.

Oh...wait, I have to tell you what happened. My FDIL had mailed her dress to me from Germany. We waited a long time and we were starting to get nervous. On Wed. I got a notice from the PO that I had a package! YAY!

So yesterday my mailman brough it to me and the box was destroyed! It was ripped up and the PO had wrapped all kinds of shrink-wrap around it. They enclosed a note blaming the overseas office. LOL

Anyways, I open it up and the box is wet inside! I was sick. Thankfully the dress was all wrapped up in heavy plastic. I took it out and hung it up and I can't find anything wrong with it. It wasn't wet anywhere and I didn't see any damage thank goodness.

It's a wrinkled mess so I need to go have it steamed for her.
All she knows is the dress has arrived. I think I'll leave the rest of the story out.

What a disaster that would have been!

 

[Aimee K]

I haven't been around much either Luv, but wanted to add my love and support for you and your family!

Oh, I was getting sick the further down I read. I'm glad that the dress is okay. I've said it once and I'll say it again- You're an awesome MIL. She is lucky to have you. As your reward, you may pick out a package from the gift table at the wedding.

 

[bananiem]

Luv, I just saw your post. Prayers being sent for all of you! We all understand why you didn't post for awhile, but just know we're all here to support you.

Thanks Red, such a nice thing to say. I will choose the fattest envelope! LOL

Yep, I am late, actually. By a couple of weeks. I know about those false negatives. Ainslee was a false negative until I went to the doctor. I still have one more stick test (there's 2 in a pack now) so if I don't feel better tomorrow I'm going to take the other one.

Thanks for the well-wishes, ladies! It's no fun to vomit for no reason. It wouldn't be as bad if there was a nice reason for it!

Good one, Kate!

Luv - I am a recovering anorexic myself. It is a long hard road, but the support that Chris is getting from you is wonderful! I would have loved to have support like that during my recovery. It is a lifelong battle, but catching it early should really help him in his recovery.

Bb - Hope that you are feeling better or just testing too early!

Red - Does your kidlet have all day or half day preschool?

4's - Cool deal on the coupon. When I get ready to sell on EBay will you be my mentor?

Scary story on the dress, I too was feeling sicker and sicker as I read your post. Thank goodness it all turned out fine. You're a sweetie to get it steamed and to not tell your FDIL. That will be a great story for their first anniversary!

 

[Tricia1972]

BB - you'd probably do this anyway, but be sure to use your first morning potty for tomorrow's test. Even though they can detect HCG at anytime in the day the concentration is higher in the first morning potty.

 

[redshoes]

Good one, Kate!

Come on Bonnie, you've thought about it. Need a new toaster? Slip it into your coat on the way out. The girls need new shoes? Noboody will miss the envelope from Aunt Alice (everybody thinks she's cheap anyways). Crap, I think I've figured out why I don't get invitied to weddings anymore .

Red - Does your kidlet have all day or half day preschool?

Hey girlie! How are you?
My kidlet has half a day preschool- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Little bugger had his first day on Wednesday- they lined them up and told them they could give their parents a kiss and hug goodbye. Do you think my little darling, the one I have sacrificed sleep and sanity for would give me a kiss? Nope, he actually gave me a pinky finger tick, that's all I got- little bugger wouldn't even get out of line to tell me goodbye. DH asked him how it went and he told him that he doesn't have to discuss his school business with us- it's his thing .
