Thought the snow day yesterday would give everyone a chance to recover, but DS15 at least insists he's still dying. Although he was well enough to go to GF's house most of the day yesterday. I'm not sure how that fits in with him being grounded, but evidently snow days don't count?! Anyways, hard to enforce when he texts you and tells you while you're stuck at work! Forced him to go to school today since he has his big calc test today (to try to get "ungrounded"). Of course now if he does badly, it'll be because he was sick, not that he had an entire extra day yesterday and didn't spend one minute studying! :confused3

My kids' school does what's called block scheduling about every 3 weeks. Means instead of having 8 periods like they normally do, they have 4 each on Wed and Thu and the classes are 90 minutes instead of 45. Of course really confused everyone since yesterday was supposed to be a block day. The school decided to keep today's block day the same (even number classes) and make up yesterday's tomorrow. :confused: DS15 was trying to figure out if he could stay home today - on the block days, one day he has all his "real" classes; the other all classes he could miss. So finally had to wait and call the school when it opened (of course after the bus comes) and drive him. But was a "real" day. Evidently we weren't the only ones confused. Other DS went to his math block (7:30-9am) this morning and at 8:15 his teacher strolled in, looked at everyone already sitting there, and said "Oh, is it a block day?!" :rotfl: So he got an extra study hall today!

Coastermom (I'm sorry, I forgot the name already, was it Mary?) - based on what I know about my 15 year old son, I probably wouldn't want my 15 year old daughter (if I had one) dating him! Teen hormones are not fun thing! If nothing else, start with "family" activities - invite him to your house for dinner and games, or go to a hockey/basketball game together, etc. Something where you can get to know him and see if you trust him at all (ps - don't!).

And yep, still cake left over! Actually it's cookie cake (the big frosted cookie!). Have to bring some to work. Speaking of which, it's about that time!
 


Hey all....I am still with ya's.... didn't think you'd get rid of me THAT easily, didja? :laughing:

Sorry I have been mia, but I had some things going on/to take care of the past couple days.....

Finally got a good night's rest and actually got my workout in already today :eek: .....now i have to shower up and go see my BFF so she can gimmie a haircut!

I am keeping up, here and there, and i will get back thru all the pages and 'ketchup' soon....promise.....

There is 1 thing I will go back and ketchup on in a second.......

Oh, my! I'm speechless! Let me just get my notes...

I'd like to thank my mom for tricking... er... convincing my dad to have a fourth baby when he thought they were all done having kids. And Mac for starting the BEST THREAD EVER. And Barb for coming up with an award for the best thread ever. And for everyone else that hangs out here... full time, part time, fly bys, or lurkers... it's all good.

I'll wear it proudly! :thumbsup2

Welcome back, Barb!

You get a free pass for not catching up while you were away .... wait, do I even have free passes to give????


Congrats, Tricia, on your award. Put it in a place of honor, where it won't obstruct entry ways and exits or collect dust. Perhaps Penny should come with the award to take care of it! :goodvibes

Tracie, is your April/May trip a full-go yet?
 
I'm doing ok but Mary Eva is still sick with what I think is a stomach virus and took off work yesterday but she is stubborn and wants to go to work today.

Yep, us women can be stubborn sometimes! Are you going to make dinner for her tonight?

sharon - take it easy while the bosses are away:thumbsup2 , drink lots of hot tea:goodvibes

jury's out on latin, i had pushed for it in every mother's pipe dream that one of my kids would be a doctor. They only offer it via cyber studies in our district.

must say, while DH is German and the culture is fascinating; it's not a very pretty sounding language


For some reason, Latin is the in language to take here. They had to hire a part time teacher to help out. Seeing as Latin is a dead language, James is going to have to still take a language class in college. He was not to happy to hear that.



Hey all....I am still with ya's.... didn't think you'd get rid of me THAT easily, didja? :laughing:

Hi Barb, glad your back from being one of the lost.

SO all men really are the same :rotfl2: . Yeah the name is Mary :) .

Sounds like a good plan!
 
Ok, anyone venturing on to other threads within Universal today annoyed by the DIS ads that are appearing like posts, right under the OP?

The DIS is sneaking in ads right into threads, which makes them look like posts. They can do what they want, but isn't there enough ads on each page without sneaking them into threads? Cruise Critic did this for about a month before they got too complaints and took them down. (Actually cruise critic's were worse, because the ads appeared right INSIDE any OP you started.).

I actually almost reported a thread, then realized they were part of the DIS!
 

Woo-hoo!!! Are you in the lead?!

Yeah, one of the guys came over this morning and found that he has gained 2 pounds. Another hasn't lost anything and the third has lost 5. So right now I'm ahead by 15 pounds and the 3 of them were going to lunch at a Mexican restaurant while I went home and had a nap instead.

bad water is no fun

i made a spiral ham earlier this week, then ho-made beef soup, today it's a turkey that we'll attack tomorrow & spaghetti & meatballs...seems as though all i do is cook & goof off here:rolleyes1

can't clean, bad dog must've eaten my dusters again...family tends to toss them so i don't get cranky. Not sure which she likes better, the swiffers or the long one i use for ceiling fans.:confused3
 
Yep, us women can be stubborn sometimes! Are you going to make dinner for her tonight?

Yeah I will make dinner for her and she did make a doctors appointment for tomorrow so she will miss work and now all I have to do is find the key to our lock box:scared1: so I can get some checks out so that I can pay our rent and pay her co-pay to see the doctor:lmao:

Good thing you turned up Barb, since I live the closest to you, I was about to get on down Exeter way :car: and see what was going on :) (how far are you from the main Post Office on 13th st. in Reading anyway?)
 
Hey guys. Wanted to let you all know I am around. I have been having computes today. I've been on long enough to read through one page and now have to go pick Ally up from school. I will be back later to catch up.
 
I just got a call from the doctor's office saying that Joshua's bloodwork came back fine. So, I'm thinking that is a good thing and breathing a sigh of relief. I asked when I should bring Joshua back for his next check. She said, "Ummm... I don't know... let me check."

At this point, I should mention that the nurse calling me is new. She is my doctor's partner's (Dr. Broomstick) nurse. My doctor has just started his 3 month tour of duty in Afghanistan.

She puts me on hold and comes back to tell me that he doesn't need it done again for a year.

I don't think so. My doctor was very specific in telling me that Joshua would need regular bloodwork to monitor the Dilantin level in his system... especially for the first few months.

I told her that. She said to let her check again since he isn't familiar with the case. She came back and told me to bring him back in 3 months.

Uh-uh. That isn't going to happen. I have the appointment with the Pediatric Neurologist a week from tomorrow, so I let it go and I'll double check with HIM about what needs to be done. Then, if I have to, I'll call MY nurse back and tell her what is going on.

I can't wait for the second week of May when my doctor will be back. Dr. Broomstick is fine for throwing pills at symptoms, but he doesn't retain anything. He never remembers a case from one visit to the next. My doctor knows who I am, what problems I've had, what problems Brad has had, what our kids are going through... heck, the last time I was there, he asked me how CAROL was doing because I've mentioned her current situation to him in passing. He doesn't need the chart except to remind him of dates and tests. He knows me without the file. I absolutely HATE not having him here while we sort out Joshua's situation.

And I'm sure he'd rather be here than doing a tour of duty. I should be feeling sorry for him instead of myself. His family has to be worried sick. I'll shut up now.

Also, I am starting to feel tiny flutters of excitement over Daytona. I don't want to get excited yet. I don't even know if I can go. I feel guilty about even wanting go in the first place. Sigh.

I'm going to go clean something.
Tricia, Glad Joshua's Dilantin blood level is good :thumbsup2
ALso, go with what the Ped Neuro tells you, as of how often the bloodwork, etc. When is Joshua's Ped Neuro appt again?

Congrats on your trophy!:woohoo: :cool1:
 
Hi all-
I have only read up on the last 2 pages only.
Been busy shopping, went out to Target today, since snowstorm is coming here, or is already starting now.

Matthew is in the school Variety Show this Sat. Don't think I told any of you guys yet. The dress rehearsal for it is supposed to be tomorrow late afternoon at one of the jr .high in our district. Wonder if the dress rehearsal is going to be postponed? Not sure how much snow we are going to have, maybe 5 to 12 inches? Matthew is going to play his clarinet for hte variety show. Chrissy did not want to be in the show for whatever reasons.

Lori- forgot to say congrats on your trophy,too! :cool1: :woohoo:

Hi to all!!

Hope all that are sick are doing better :grouphug: :wizard:

Ok, gotta run, as the kids get off hte bus in a few minutes.
