Sassy Somethings - Happy November

[Toot Sweet]

Bonnie, Mom is doing pretty well. She knows what the doctor's have told her, and if she chooses to ignore it, nothing I can do. So, I've learned to keep my mouth shut,

Wednesday, I take her to our primary care, next wednesday a CT and a dietitcian.

She has already outlived the stats. Now, I'm just thankful for that.

Wow, that's great! Tell Barbara I said hi!! So are you spending more time with her these days?

Which grade is Cole starting again?

 

[coles1mom]

Cole's starting 8th grade this year.


Well, it's amazing, I tell ya. All of a sudden, there is a meeting at work on Thursday. I wonder what prompted that.

 

[jbmom]

Happy Monday Sassaronis! Glad to see us chatting more.

Hope you have a good first day Wilma and Barney. We never had to make a mad rush for lockers either. They assigned us one with the assumption of you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. I love that saying personally.

Judi, amazing what filing for unemployment will do isnt' it? I am trying to get the bedtime routine back in swing too. I'm not having much success with it though.

Bonnie, I love Jr. Mints too. Glad to hear you are feeling better just in time for school to start! I got your cell number again, but they were out of my pink phones at Alltel so I am still using a 1976 cell phone that is hard to text on. I will be caught up to the 21st century soon I hope!

Julie, I think you should legally change Atlas' name to Astro.

Tricia, I will send you a little of our coolness and Judi can ship you a bunch of hers. I was downright cold last night. I had to put an extra blanket on or I could have closed the window. I like the fresh air though.

Heather, hope Kate has a great first day!

Have a great sunshiney day!

 

[MrsHerbie53]

Girl, I ain't gonna tell you anything yucky about them! I am eating them for breakfast! I have two jumbo boxes of them. Yesterday I got some at the movies and never opened them, and then when I picked up Heather and her friends, Heather told me she bought me a surprise from the candy store. Low and behold...more Junior Mints!! I didn't tell her I already had a full box!

Hey Toot!!

i love jr mints!!! but I have never had them for breakfast!!!

 

[mishasmom]

Howdy you chatty somethings!! Is is Friday yet? I get off at noon on Friday, and then Labor Day is Monday, so I'm excited for my 3 1/2 day weekend! Can you believe it's almost Labor Day already?? That's a good thing around here-it means the big cool down is almost here!

We had another "stay at home and don't spend any money weekend". Although I did buy a $4 shirt at Kohls ($28 on sale for $14 and then used a $10 off coupon). I love a good deal.

I'm sad the Olympics are over! I really enjoyed watching them. I still have last night to watch-I wanna see if the men win the gold in indoor volleyball (ssshhh-don't tell me what happens!). That poor coach-his inlaws are the ones who were attacked by that guy with the knife. I hope they win the gold for him!

I start my physical therapy on Thursday, but I can't get in for my steroid shots until 9/18. That's the thing I want the most because it will supposedly help the pain. So, over 3 more weeks of misery.

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

 

[Toot Sweet]

Oh no, Angus! I'm sorry it will take you that long to get your steroid shot! They do help with pain, they work miracles with pain! My planters fasciitis was AWFUL pain, but those shots in the heel help soo much! Just don't get addicted to booze or pain pills in the meantime, lady!

 

[mishasmom]

I asked the pharmacist about that cuz I'm taking Vicodin, but she said I could probably take 1 a day for 30 days and not get addicted. Right now I'm taking 1 a day every other day just cuz I'm afeerd of getting hooked. She said even if I got hooked I would probably just have mild withdrawal symptoms: headaches and diarrhea. Good to know I won't be hitting the streets selling myself for more happy pills!

Angie that's what I call a great sale! $4 shirt, you go girl.

Hopefully the physical therapy will help with the pain since you have to wait so long for the shots.

Until you mentioned that Labor Day was Monday I guess I forgot. Since my kids have been in school for a couple of weeks I was just thinking that Monday was just a Monday. It looks like they'll be off and Mark too. Thanks for the heads up Angie.

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.



'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked The seamstress replied, 'No.'

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.




'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'


The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.





'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'

The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.



'Yes,' cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.



Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is:

Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
Signed,

All Us Women, Amen

Kate should be home in about half an hour. I can't wait to hear how her day went. She rode the bus this morning. I guess the days of walking her to class and meeting her teacher are over She really is getting too big.

Yesterday afternoon there was a Cheetah Girls movie on the Disney channel when we turned on the TV. It was at a part where they were singing and dancing. I tried to flip the station, but Joey flipped smooth out when I did. He "wanted to watch the girls!" he told me. I am in big trouble when he gets older

He enjoyed the Olympics too. I didn't watchmuchof the track and field, but I did hear about how we dropped the ball...errr baton I agree, Wilma, they should have practiced a little more. Joey liked the diving and has been jumping off my couch into imaginary water for days.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Becca~~ your trip is just around the corner It is still super hot down here and we are all of a sudden having a huge problem with mosquitos. But like Angie said, the cool down is almost here. I mentioned that to my mom and she looked at me like I was insane I said I know we still have at least 6 or 7 weeks of miserable weather but I don't think that is very long. Time flies!

 

[MinnyGranny62]

Heather that is just too funny.....my first chuckle in days. Thank you.

Danny is gone again...I came right out and asked my DD where he was at. She said that he left again and won't give me the phone # where he is, because she knows I would call and also give our pastor the # too.

So don't know if he will be going to school or not (senior yr). I am at a lost ...he knows how much DH and I love him but think that he is embarassed about all that is going on. Won't bother you gals with the details, but wanted you all to know. Shirley

 

[frndofpooh]

To you, Shirley. I hope it works out for the best. If you all have a good foundation, maybe he'll come around in time and talk to you guys. Prayers being sent!

Bonnie, what in the world are you doing buying Junior Mints at the movie and not eating them? The butter has slipped off your pancake, my friend. But, at least you are making up for it by sliding them into your healthy breakfast. I myself am a Diet Coke and Hershey Kiss breakfast girl.

Angie - I have always wondered why it takes those docs so long to get you in for steroid shots. No matter what, it's always been a three week-one month wait for me. I think perhaps instead of actually giving the shots they are having clandestine checker tournaments and just don't want the patients to know, so they only schedule a few patients a day so as not to be interrupted. Confront the doc with my theory and see if he looks shady. But, if you confront him he might think you are wacko and take away the Vicodin. It's a risk, to be sure!

Becca - Do you have a plan for your trip? Scoping out which lines will be shortest? I can tell you, it won't be Toy Story Mania. They ran out of FP's by 10:50 each day we were there - it was insane! So, if you want to do it you have to do rope drop and sprint. Get those strong swimmers of yours to pull you in a chariot. You've paid for some of those muscles, girl!

Judi - How does Cole feel about 8th grade? Excited about being on the top this year?

Heather - your joke gave me a giggle! Joey should take up diving - sounds like he's got a "no fear" personality!

Tricia - I'm with you on the crazy afternoon schedule. Mine starts next week. I am in denial!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's comfortable here in Denial, and lots of people know me.

Julie - Apparently the Locker Mad Dash was a non-event. Although Barney was the first one at the door when school opened today (years of doing rope drops at Disney and fighting for good standing room at Bruce concerts pays off, I tell ya!) he was quickly shuffled into his homeroom by head of school to get his schedule and hear the No Mercy rules. While this was occuring, the eighth graders and seventh graders got to pick lockers so the newbies were skunked again! Ah, but no matter, you've got to pay your dues, I say. Plus, to be honest, Barney is not of the stature to need a upper locker, the lowers work just fine for his petite frame. All of this is of little comfort to the boy, though, as they also got last pick for the electives. So, the first trimester he will be learning the ins and outs of Landscaping . My boy, who hates to have dirt on his hands and is allergic to most foliage will delve into landscaping. Life is tough when you are eleven!

Hi Shannon and Sarah! What's up with you Sassarinis?

 

[coles1mom]

Angie & Shirley
Angie, I wouldn't worry too much about addiction, If you're using the pills for the pain & not the brain, addiction is not a problem. Try to keep your pain under control.

Shirley, I wish I could help. I'll just keep praying that Danny will come to you, to sort out his troubles.

Wilma, landscaping 9 weeks? Now cow milking I understand.

Heather, great tale Looks like Joey can join the other sassy swimmers. How did Kate like school.

Tricia, 120 days, 17 hours

Becca, It is amazing what 20 mins. on a website will do. Here you have a NPO thats goal is to be helping veterans and their spouses/widows.

Bonnie, just where in VA is this hillbilly hunt taking place? Get lots of pictures of those stills. $60 a gal. for shine right now.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Good morning to all you sassy things. I'm not feeling all to sassy right now. Maybe the coffee just hasn't kicked in yet.

Judi thanks for the Christmas update.

QVC had a countdown to Christmas yesterday. I guess on the 25th of each month we'll see that until they get in full Christmas mode over there.

 

[frndofpooh]

Yup, Judi, landscaping. Sounds like cheap labor to me, but what do I know. The other choices were Embroidery and Cross Country running. I thought the running might be an option until I remembered Barney's aversion to sweating (hence the choice of swimming from a young age ) so landscaping it is. And it's 13 weeks - not 9 because we run on trimesters. Private school can be strange.

Good luck with your open house today, Bonnie! I know the kids will be great, you've just got to worry about the parents, right?

Hi Tricia, Heather, Becca, Shannon, Angie (I agree with Judi's comments about addiction, by the way ), Julie, Granny, Sarah!

Off to school!

 

[coles1mom]

Oh Tricia, I so hope you're not getting Bonnie's bug

13 weeks in the dirt Cole would not make it. She never has liked dirty hands.
Thanks for the back-up, I so hate to see anyone in pain because they worry about addiction. I wish doctors would address that issue more.

 

[ocd4disney]

Good Morning!

Kate finally got home yesterday about 30 minutes later than normal. I wa alittle concerned until I saw all the other parents outside pacing at the bus-stop. ...lol. .. then I figured it was normal first day chaos making them late. The bus driver said they would possibly be late the whole first week. This is a new bus driver so I don't know

Anyway....she really loved school. She came home all excited and said she LOVES her teachers and she was STARVINGGGGGG!!! I'm really gald. It is wonderful to see your child so happy about doing something they HAVE to do...KWIM?

Shirley~~ I had a very hard time when I was 17..it is right at the edge of being a grown-up but you are still a child. Hopefully he will snap out of his funk in time to go to school. I will pray for your family. I don't think I fully understood how much worry I put mypoor mom through until I became a parent.....and my kids aren't even teenagers yet.....I am in BIG trouble!

 

[coles1mom]

Good Morning Heather

I had forgotten about the late busses on the first few days. All the 5 year olds kinda forget where they live. A new driver doesn't help.

 

[luvmyboys]

Just checkin' in from the beach! No time to read, so I hope you're all fantabulous!

So far:

Drank too much 1st night, and unfortunately, there is video to prove it. Mostly of MIL, but I have an unattractive cameo!

Day 2, fun at the beach. Watched Ryan (unsuccessfully) try to skim board. Last year I tried it, and left all of the skin on my right thigh on Atlantic Beach NC. In front of a large crowd of people.

Day 3 is in progress, but we have a trip to the ABC for more liquor planned. It's a good thing the kids have to go to bed early in preparation for school next week! I foresee a night of margaritas and the hot tub...

Talk to y'all soon!

 

[Toot Sweet]

Howdy, hags! How are you girls today? I'm working late, will be here till noon. Getting ready for back to school orientation tonight. Grrr!

Judi, the hillbilly hunt is in West Virginia. Everyone knows they have the best hillbillies in WV. Rest assured, I will be sampling some moonshine. I'll let you know how I like it. I've been told that just sniffing the lid will set me on my ****. We'll see....

Shannon!!! Sounds like you are having a great time, hag! Keep us posted. You need to save some of your boozing and carousing for when you are with me!

Heather, I'm glad your DD enjoyed school! That's important!

Hey Wilma, how is school going, lady?

Shirley, so sorry you guys are having a rough time with Danny. Hopefully he will do some self-reflecting while he is gone and decide what he wants out of life. I hope he comes back safe and sound....and soon!

Becca, what's up, hag? Are you still watching the twins?

Angus, how are you feeling today? Been watching Big Brother?

Tricia, same question...been watching BB? Who are you rooting for? I think I want Dan to win...he is kinda wily and I appreciate that in a BB player!
