Congratulations [COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR]. I'm sure it's a happy exhaustion you're dealing with. Go up and get some rest, we'll keep it quiet for you - at least for a little while. I'll get Nieceosaurus to turn the volume down on her soap operas.

Morning everyone!

Welcome home & Congratulations [COLOR=CC00CC]Kismetdreams[/COLOR]!!!!! We have missed you & cannot wait to hear ALL the wedding details. You guys looks so beautiful & happy in that picture (Mickey & Minnie look good, too!).

CourtasanSatine, who did you make mad last night? DBF's family?

[COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR], congratulations on your new baby niece. What did they name her?

QOTD: If your child had been the opposite sex, what would you have named him/her? If Lainie had been a boy, he probably would have been Ty.

Tye, my Tye, never came from watching trading spaces.....no cable here. If he was a girl, he'd have been Celia. Grant also would have been Celia.

I've never watched it! Why do you say that??

 

[s&k'smom]

If DS had been a girl it was Olivia and if DD had been a boy probably Stephen (after dad of course plus it was the only name we agreed on)!

cadburysmom congratulations on the new baby, how exciting.

Maybe #3 will be Celia!

Good morning everyone.

[color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color], you must feel better though after having the tests done, right? I think the worst part of having a sick kid is trying to decide--Should I take him to the doctor? Should I wait? What if he gets sicker over the weekend... Hopefully things will start looking up now. Here is something for you to think about: Gravy burns and brown polyester uniforms that smell like fried food.

[color=CC00CC]Kismetdreams[/color], Congratulations!
You look absolutely stunning! Can't wait to hear all about the wedding.

Can I whine now? DH just called. His sister, who is also a Nancypants, just called him for a favor. (Notice she didn't call me although I am the one who will actually be providing the favor. ) She is having a hard time finding someone to watch her two older kids during spring break. So she wants us to watch her 7 year old handful of a son and 14 year old daughter. Her daughter has Downs so you really need to keep an eye on her too. Rob said he will help out. Get real. He'll probably take one day off next week and watch the kids. I'll have them the rest of the week.

This is adding to the fact that one of his other sisters sent him an e-mail asking if we want to come to their house for Easter dinner. (Notice she didn't copy me in on the e-mail. I happened to be reading Rob's e-mail one day when he was out of the office and saw it in "sent items".) She lives 2 hours away. Rob responded "yes" without even asking me first. My parents will be home by then, and I don't want to leave them alone for Easter. It's not like we don't get together with them. We spend all of Christmas day with them. I have them over for Thanksgiving, we camp with them on Memorial weekend and Labor Day weekend, etc., etc.

Sorry. I'm done with my rant.

QOTD:

Do you have problems with splitting holidays with different sides of the family?

 

[Bichon Barb]

Girls names we thought of:

Erica
Jenna
Hannah

Boys names that were on our list (but were a bit too much LOL)

Sebastian (I love this name, but you can't really shorten it)
Tristan
Perry (Rob's middle name and now Hunter's middle name)

Eric is named after my dad, Erich.

When we named Hunter, we thought it was really unique. Now it is become a trendy name. I hate it when that happens.

Uh, I think I am done. I hate to say it but once I get this weight off, as I did before I had Tye, I am not REPEAT NOT putting it back on. It's hard work and I want to find myself again.

Yes, holidays are HORRIBLE with my DH's family. We have his mom and step dad, his dad and step mom, his step sisters who sometimes do seperate things, his Aunt who does seperate things for Thanksgiving or Christmas and then the relaxed and understanding MY parents (still married). My parents sometimes give up on seperating things and join in with my In Laws, which helps me so much. I stress out around the holidays so much I can't even enjoy them! Boy Barb can you tell you hit a hot button? I am stressing out NOW, thinking about EASTER. And BTW, if we don't attend someone's something or other, they are offended and let us know.

Usually, no. My DMIL is afraid to make me mad. DH stopped spending time with her (he & his step-dad had issues) while he was in college. When he & I started dating, he started doing family things again, so she knows it is because of me. That being said, we usually try to visit with both sides on each holiday. Of course, DMIL lives in Lexington & my parents live in Georgetown (20 miles away), so its not like we have to travel great distances to see our families. DFIL lives in St. Thomas, so we don't see him much & now that his mother (DH's grandmother) has passed away, we don't see him much at all on holidays. He usually spends them with his 39 year old bride (I want DH to call her "new mommy", but he won't).

 

[s&k'smom]

TG the holidays are not a problem with inlaws. MIL has passed on and FIL is long gone with his "new" family, (yeahhhhhhhhh). DH works afternoons so we usually go to my moms or sisters and then he has to head to work. If he and his brother happen to have the day of the holiday or near it we will have a nice meal with them.

I know this is mean but I am so happy the inlaws are not around they made our lives a living heck.

WOW, [COLOR=CC00CC]Kismetdreams[/COLOR]! What a beautiful wedding! Can't wait to hear all the details! I'm sure it was as magical as it looks Congratulations!!!

I have found that we offend sometimes by not attending certain things, but I know we attend the things that we can & I don't get offended when people don't attend things of ours because I just figure that everyone does what they can. People drive me nuts! Why does it matter to them, do they just want something to complain about? I think so.

 

[Lewski709]

Grant was gonna be a Tristan until several people told us they didn't like it. Needless to say, we never told anyone about Tye until after he was named. BTW, we only picked out the boys names a month before they were here. We had the girls name picked out from the get go.

 

[Bichon Barb]

This is why I don't tell friends and family about this website. I want to be able to talk about them without worrying that they'll find out.

Rob has three older sisters. They are all 18 months apart, and they still bicker like teenagers--like they fight over things like whose *** is bigger. LOL. They are all 5'9" or taller and can be very imposing. It's not really Rob's mom or dad that give us a hard time, it's the sisters. Last Thanksgiving was at my house. At that time we were comtemplating the Florida move. The three of them cornered me in the boys' bedroom and started playing 50 questions: Do YOU want to move? What is Rob thinking? Our parents are really upset about this. Blah, blah, blah. They had me crying. Why didn't they go corner Rob and ask him!!!??? And as for their parents, they spend six months a year in Florida themselves!!! But we are expected to stay put and show up at all the family gatherings.

This b-session is fun!
