Team Focker Watch Chat - in the 11th Hour

[cmp1111]

Hi, all! I caught up, but no time to quote. It's late, and I'm tired.

We had a great weekend with my cousin and her DH and kids when we saw them. The kids had great times at their minor league game (Janet, we played the Reading Phillies - Phillies won) and then the two games yesterday and today, along with the b-day party and so forth.

Jo & Kat, sorry about the relative issues.

T, though I caught you on FB, Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry about the zoo!

Mel & Mrs.K, glad to see you back!

Hi, everyone!

I need to quick take the dog out and go to bed. I have the singles tennis class tomorrow, then have to hit the grocery store again.

D has day trips tomorrow, Tues., and Thurs. I'm ready for some alone time, so that's OK, but not as good as an overnight or two.

Our weeknight ballgame this week is tomorrow, too - so we have yet another game in a row, but then we're finished completely on Saturday, so that's good.

So...

That's all I've got. I missed you all over the weekend, but I'll be around this week! Have a great night!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Aww I understand, they grow up so fast. She looks adorable.

Thank you.

The sprinklers sound like fun, are you going to run through it too?

Nope...you won't catch me running through that cold water. LOL I pulled out the hose instead of the sprinkler and DR was Mr. Whiney the entire time so I put it back within 15 minutes of pulling it out. I took the dog out with us and she got her bath for the week though.

Back to work tomorrow, but it's another 4 day week for us. Jim and I both are off for Jimmy's "move-up" day on Friday

Yay for another 4 day work week! Have you worked an entire week at all this month?

I got this fitness thing for my birthday for the Wii, it's called Wii Active. Holy crow! I did a low intensity work out yesterday, and I'm flippin' feeling it today.

I've seen the commercial for that and it looks like it would give you a great workout. Too bad no Wii is here in our house though.

Today has been busy with Disney plans and getting ready for Judy's surgery tomorrow !! She has all Kyles clothes layed outfor me his meds !! Talked to the kids !! She has made it quite clear that should anything happen we are all to make sure the ex does NOT get Kyle !!Somehow I don't think he would stand a chance but I might be fleeing the country !!Any who(love that word )Have her in your prayers for tomorrow !!

Prayers for Judy and that all goes well tomorrow.

I am here. I was 12 pages behind though!

Hi Mel!

Still a great day. Now he's gaming and I am catching up with my threads. Then I'm off to read (Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison- love her!).

Sounds like you had a good day and the restaurant sounds yummy.

Hi, all! I caught up, but no time to quote. It's late, and I'm tired.

Hi CE!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Hello everybody!
Thanks for the good thoughts and the appreciation for my updates.

Weekend Rewind:

ROSIE - She is still blaming the keyboard. Judy’s surgery is Monday. OMG we have a picture!!!!!! Pg. 57, #851. Your hair color is great!

JO’s had a strange game of golf. She has a friend that collects spiders in her eyeglass case. Her in-laws that can’t visit 'cause its too far are going to a funeral and want to stop by on the way back. I’d just tell them you’re sorry, you won’t be available. So what do they really want????

It was T’s birthday Saturday!

Sorry it's late, T.

She took the Brownies to the zoo. They had fun for about 10 minutes. She found out that the Wii hurts the next day.

LORI has a pic of Linds, minus 2 teeth, Pg 58, #858. The fairy was good to her. The library is showing Disney all summer. They had a picnic on Saturday.
Sounds like you had a fun weekend!

KICKAPOO bought some Zumba shoes. Zumba is aerobic dance. Good for you! Do you compete or just do it for personal fitness?

Z might be taking another cruise - non-Disney.

SLATE has real food in her garden, not virtual on Wii. Virtual cucumbers don't make me belch.

KAT needs some help with how to deal with an aunt who has basically ignored her since her (Kat’s) mom died. Kat tried to contact her, but got no response. Now the aunt wants to know why she hasn’t called. Do you want this person in your life? If not, I’d just ignore the email. If so, tell the truth. I’d just tell her you tried to contact her but after you got no response you were hurt because of what she said at the funeral. On another note - Glad you had a great time with dinner and the movie!!!!!!

JANET’s block party was a hit. Pics on page 58, #867. She has another 4 day week because of Jimmy’s move up day. Nice!!

DAWN survived dinner at the Sil’s barely. Too much drama ruins food.

MEL’s back!!!! Gus has been sick.

CE had a great time with her cousin. You sure were busy. I'm glad everything worked out and you enjoyed it!!!

####################################################################
We had a beautiful weekend here. No rain. I think it went north. We had some gray skies Sunday but it cleared up.

We got the new door on the side of the garage. The old one was rusting and it had glass in it. The new one is solid, no windows. It looks great. I still have to get some extra trim to cover some gaps.

I'm done with flower bed renovation, for now. I just need to keep on top of the weeds this summer. The only outdoor project left is the patio. I can't wait for it to be done.

We had lunch with my brother today at our favorite Irish pub. His GF is in Las Vegas until Monday night. Some cosmetology seminar. He said that the he is enjoying the alone time. He seemed a bit distracted today though.

He is moving in with her. He needs to get rid of a bunch of stuff. We picked up a curio cabinet he got from my DDad and some guns he doesn't want around her kids. He also doesn't want a kitchen table that my grandfather found and refinished. It's an antique. He was going to give it away if I didn't take it. Not on my watch! We'll use it in Doug's bar/pool room. It's like he is cleaning up the past life. I'm a bit sad for him.

The ex-Sil was seeing about 9 different guys. Just dating. Nothing serious but still. I guess her FB page says she is 'in a relationship'. You know me, I stay away form that FB. Rockie told me about it.

Oh yeah, the Sept. hours have thrown me a curve ball. I had to change everything around. Thank goodness I can't make ADRs until the end of the month. I hate change when it comes to my Disney planning. I did not go to the ScottNY School of Creative Modification for Your Vacation.

I need to go. I've been sitting so long my butt's numb.

Have a good Monday!

 

[Muffinygood]

First, Ewwwwwww! Kristel! Yuck! Lima beans and Spam. LOL!!!

Well, I have no clue how Gus is feeling this morning. He's still asleep. I didn't hear him up last night (not that I would, I slept like a log!) so I don't know if he's still feeling bad.
I feel a bit yucky myself though. Hopefully, it will pass.

SD is off to school. He's got finals this week, so he's less excited about school being over. His opinion is that it's pretty carpy to save the HARD stuff for the last week!

I am going back to bed for a bit. Hopefully when I get up in an hour, Gus will be magically ALL BETTER and go to school.

Hi, Lori! Hi, Kristel! Hi, Mel!

I'm off in a few to my singles tennis, but wanted to drop in and feel caught up again.

Horrible night for sleeping, but oh, well. I was having crazy dreams and doing some tossing and turning myself. D has a trip today and had to get up, not at some early ungodly hour, but just about 45 minutes before my alarm goes off. So, of course, I never fell back to sleep after his started going.

I need to hit both the grocery store and Target after tennis - I have an Rx at Target, so I really need to go. The problem there is that the grocery store is closer to the gym, but I can't go there first as I'm getting frozen/fridge items. Sigh. If I take an alternate route home from Target, I can hit a grocery store on the way, but it's not my favorite and it isn't the best way home, either. I don't know. Our Target is not "super" so there aren't all the grocery items that I need there, either.

Anyway, I must be off. Hope everyone has a good morning - I'll be back later!

Sounds like you had a busy weekend. Take pics when your patio is done. Glad you had a nice lunch with your brother and to the ex-SIL...9 guys. How the heck did she manage them all at once. LOL Sorry about the Sept hours. At least you have a little time to figure things out.

SD is off to school. He's got finals this week, so he's less excited about school being over. His opinion is that it's pretty carpy to save the HARD stuff for the last week!

Poor guy. Hope Gus is feeling better (you too) and that he heads off to school.

Hi CE! Have fun at tennis, the grocery store and Target!

**********************************************************

Morning everyone!

I didn't sleep very well either last night. Stupid ex-husband.

Linds has Vacation Bible School this morning so the house will be quiet this morning. DR and I plan on just being lazy and watching TV while she's gone. No plans for this afternoon, maybe walk to the park with one of the dogs and play in the sprinklers again. I do need to the grocery store for a few items but maybe I'll go to the one right down the street instead of the big one a few minutes away.

Gotta run! Hope y'all have a good Monday!

 

[PrincessV]

Morning! I never got on the computer this weekend, but I'm all caught-up thanks to Kristal!

I received and tested my new Keene sandals over the weekend... and I LOVE them! I got the Venice H2 model, in case anyone's looking for a good WDW shoe. I think they'll be perfect.

Other than that, I spent the weekend doing my hair and cleaning the house. Boring, but productive. Oh, and I'm doing the Wii Active, along with T. It kicked my behind big-time! It's like having my own personal trainer at home every day. Woo hoo!

Leo's at horse camp this week; I'll see him at the end of the day. I missed him this weekend!

ETA: forgot to say "thank you" for all the cabinet color ideas! I haven't' done anything yet; I'm completely unmotivated. But I'll get there eventually and I now have a bunch more options I hadn't thought of!

 

[sorul82?]

SLATE has real food in her garden, not virtual on Wii. Virtual cucumbers don't make me belch.

I like the pickling cucumbers although I did buy a couple of burpless cucumber plants last week.

T: we have a ton of tomatoes, but they seem to be taking forever to turn red.

I lost my zucchini plant but my pumpkin and watermelons are doing super duper.

I'm still not sure on my peppers, cantaloupe, squash, and broccoli.

 

[Muffinygood]

Well, Gus ended up home today. I'm so sad that he's missing his last week of 5th grade! He really wanted to be there and have his yearbook signed.

We went to see the Dr. and he is treating him for strep throat. He said that it's not unusual to have a stomach ache and even vomiting from strep that's gone too long. (I knew that, since SD is especially prone to strep) They gave him a new antibiotic. He said it is likely he is ALSO fighting off some type of viral thing too, but we need to clear up the throat.
Poor Gus. I got him to eat a banana though, so that's good!

The dishes are done. The laundry is done. I am caught up on TFW. Now what?
LOL
Mel

 

[DisneyJo]

What is up with your MIL lately? Why all the interest now? Family members are being strange to the Fockers lately .

They sure have Where have all the pictures in your siggie gone???

Ran to IL's to sing happy birthday to the SIL, CARS was on while we were there so we wound up staying a bit longer than we had planned. No biggie.

You have been busy!!!

I'm freakin' exhausted. Today was our Brownie trip to the zoo. Remind me to NEVER take 11 girls to the zoo. 10 minutes into it, a few started to whine about the fact they were tired... then they were hungry... then they wanted me to buy them something. I was glad when we arrived back home, let me tell you!

At least you only had 11 I used to take 18 5-7 y/o's

Today has been busy with Disney plans and getting ready for Judy's surgery tomorrow !!

Hope it goes well

Things are crazy here the last month of school. Poor Gus was sick for a week (last week) and missed the whole entire week of school. He made it there all this week. Then this morning he busts out with a 102 temp and a tummy ache again. I am totally perplexed. And worried. He has a HUGE week this week. He has two parties, graduation and a million other commitments. Poor guy.

Oh no hope he gets better

The owner was walking around and turns out he's actually French so that explains why it was so good!

Sounds yummy!

Sounds lovely and sorry about your brother and about SIL



Played a practise round today with David ready for the club match on Sunday, it didn't rain so that was great! Tomorrow I have the ladies invitation, I've invited my friend who I know from David's group lessons that Jess and her son go too. So hopefully it'll be a nice day

 

[cmp1111]

Hi CE! Have fun at tennis, the grocery store and Target!

I did, thanks!

I didn't sleep very well either last night. Stupid ex-husband.

Ugh, I'm so sorry.

Gotta run! Hope y'all have a good Monday!

You, too!

Good luck with it all!

Fun!

***************************************
I think the Terminix guy just showed up. I get irritated, because I've asked them over and over to call before they come, so I can let them inside.

Tennis was fun, and I talked my friend into going with me to Target. Got my groceries and now I'm set until baseball at 6:00. I think I'll just relax some. I have some laundry in and need to switch that over, but otherwise...

See you soon!

 

[KatGarcia]

OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!

I got the best phone call in the universe today.....

World of Disney called about my application!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am freaking out!!!!!! I missed the call because the phone wasn't on yet. I called back and left the girl a message. She said "I wanted to speak with you about availability for a position for you".

I can not be more friggin excited right now and I haven't even had coffee!!!

I'm going to make some and carry my phone around so I don't miss her call!

[KatGarcia]

I have an interview 11am Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

​

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Yay Kat! Hope that you are able to contact her soon and that you get the job! I wonder if working at WOD would entitle you to WDW discounts?

 

[DisneyJo]

Woooohoooo good luck

The renovations and flower garden sound great! I am ashamed to admit that I have a Graduate Degree from the ScottNY School of Creative Modification or Your Vacation, with a minor in Cancelling and Rebooking .

First,
SD is off to school. He's got finals this week, so he's less excited about school being over. His opinion is that it's pretty carpy to save the HARD stuff for the last week! MEL

Hi Mel, I can remember being excited about school being out. I agree with his opinion .

Horrible night for sleeping, but oh, well. I was having crazy dreams and doing some tossing and turning myself. D has a trip today and had to get up, not at some early ungodly hour, but just about 45 minutes before my alarm goes off. So, of course, I never fell back to sleep after his started going.

I had bad dreams and kept Bill up half the night, what is up with that? You can never get back to sleep when the alarm goes off and someone is up and about, I hope you had a good day .

I didn't sleep very well either last night. Stupid ex-husband.

I am so sorry you are always having issues with him. I wish he would grow up and figure out how to be a good dad.

Leo's at horse camp this week; I'll see him at the end of the day. I missed him this weekend!

It is fantastic that Leo gets to be around horses. We had horses when I was young and competed in western horseshows every weeked. I loved that horse, he was fantastic!

I like the pickling cucumbers although I did buy a couple of burpless cucumber plants last week.

T: we have a ton of tomatoes, but they seem to be taking forever to turn red.

I lost my zucchini plant but my pumpkin and watermelons are doing super duper.

I'm still not sure on my peppers, cantaloupe, squash, and broccoli.

Sorry about the zucchini, I hope that all your other plants make it.

Well, Gus ended up home today. I'm so sad that he's missing his last week of 5th grade! He really wanted to be there and have his yearbook signed.

The pictures in the siggy are gone because I haven't "revealed" when we are going on my new PTR yet. I am being mysterious.

I hope it is a great day and you have a wonderful time tomorrow.

I think the Terminix guy just showed up. I get irritated, because I've asked them over and over to call before they come, so I can let them inside.

I used to be a pest control bookkeeper at a Terminix. Have you just told him to call or have you called the office? Call and ask for the Supervisor, explain to them that it is unacceptable for the guy to just come by and not call because you want to be there. Tell them that you will NOT pay for any services unless you sign the ticket. That should straighten the problem out.

I have an interview 11am Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!​

Good luck!! I hope you get the job!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not much going on here today, just researching for our trip, taking the dog for a long walk, and straightening up the apartment. I still have a couple of scrapbooking pages to finish up some time today too.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Welcome back, Mel! We missed you

Just got back from taking the boys to a friend's pool for the afternoon and now it's chucking down rain. Good timing

We saw Up yesterday. LOVED IT! It made me want to move to Paradise Falls.....or go on vacation. I'm thinking vacation.

 

[jcc0621]

Good afternoon all. IT has been a crazy day at work. I got here early and have been running ever since. I have read but didn't quote! Forgive me

Kat - Congrats on the interview!

Sadly, that's all I remember. My frain is bried!

I'm actually packing up to go home but I wanted to pop in and say hi! I may not get a chance to check in tonight!

Have a good one everybody
