Team Focker Watch CHAT - New and Improved Part 4!

[kykatt2]

:WOW I was with you guys till page 88
BUT YOU GUYS GOT REALLY CHATTY AFTER 9:30

I can't even get caught up till after church.

CE.. Words escape me... but I tell you one thing.. YOU GET THE CHATTY CROWN LAST NIGHT . It was "The Chronicles of CE" You posted 2 pages worth of stuff all by yourself.

Not sure what was was funnier at the Pampered Chef Party the Demonstrator or the chair back breaking off.
CHapter 2 of "THE GRADUATE" was still and

I made it to page 90 . Guess I'll finish the rest and the add on's from decent morning hours after 2:00

 

[DisneyJo]

The fever finally broke. Just *poof* it was gone! I would say it lasted for about 30 hours and went away. I'm thankful! I hate to see my babies suffer, like most moms. Thanks for all your advice, Fockers. Love how we're always there for eachother.

Thank goodness for that, hope she feels so much better now

Ok, now stop being so jealous, only lime green looks good on Fockers.

Oh Mo

Jimmy got to pick out a power ranger for all of his help with the planting. He picked this set that was originally $30..um no. Then I looked closer and it was on clearance for $7.99

Great bargain!

I was doing some sly packing for our trip today without being seen by the boy, and this happened. Meet Kinzee Faith...my thief of a chihuahua.

Probably around June 5th?

Wow that's soon!

But this was the absolute worst "demonstration" party I've ever seen.

I was going to quote it all CE but there were so many funny bits I couldn't choose, sounds like a hilarious night

It was NOT a good bedtime night for Jimmy.

Oh no, how is he this morning?

So I am unable to get to sleep. I was lying in bed and for some reason I started thinking about my future and this human resources program that I am starting in the fall and then my mind went to the "what if's" like "what if I can't get a good placement job", "what if I can't get a job after I'm done the program" so then I started to think about what else I could do if human resources doesn't pan out and I couldn't come up with anything and now I have made myself very anxious and I can not sleep as I am over thinking everything.

Glad writing it all down helped Lessa, there is no right way to live your life, but you being happy is the most important

Met the great guy in college, but we got married a mere 8 years later.

Hang on a minute, you married D 8 days after meeting him

BTW...there is news on our friend Luis who was afraid he had cancer...the biopsy only showed that his lymph nodes are swollen so they aren't ruling out cancer but are checking for other things at the moment. So it was decent news at least. All except for the fact that he is claustrophobic and has to be heavily medicated for any closed in machine tests. But he's doing well tho!

That's great Kat, must be a relief

had soo much fun at the golf outing. we cooked on the grill and drove golf carts around delivering adult beverages and weinies to everyone!!

there were several balls hitting trees. (i'm sure you'll twist that one all around)

Sounds fun, not sure my Golf Club would let you all behave like that though

It was "The Chronicles of CE" You posted 2 pages worth of stuff all by yourself.

Well I went upstairs at just after 10pm last night thinking it was very quiet and Ellie and her friend were both fast asleep with the light off I'm not complaining though

I ran Sunday School this morning we did Esther and made crowns and castles, the lady that helped me is a teacher and is so excellent!

I've got to pick Jess up in a while from her sleepover party, don't think they'll have gone to bed at 10pm so I will definitely have a very grumpy girl

Guess I'll finish the rest and the add on's from decent morning hours after 2:00

at least i was still up bc i was at work, does that make it better?

Sounds fun, not sure my Golf Club would let you all behave like that though

Well I went upstairs at just after 10pm last night thinking it was very quiet and Ellie and her friend were both fast asleep with the light off I'm not complaining though

i don't think this country club would agree to it either, but we had so many teams that they actually closed it to everyone else. there was only 1 worker there and she was pretty laid back!!

you lucked out that they fell asleep early. my ds (9) has sleepovers and sometimes i think they're worse that girls!!!!!

 

[Ariel8676]

okay, think i caught up !! i'm at work, actually having a good night!! i came in at 4pm and working a double till 8am, wth was i thinking?

had soo much fun at the golf outing. we cooked on the grill and drove golf carts around delivering adult beverages and weinies to everyone!!

there were several balls hitting trees. (i'm sure you'll twist that one all around)

of course i forgot my camera, so no pics.

when you get ems, police, firefighters, doctors, er staff, thing get crazy!!!

oh and 2 of my co-workers/friends are pregnant, so i had designated drivers!!!

My DH is a Police Officer...i understand

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going to take my DD's to see Prince Caspian today..hopefully it will be ok for them. My 6 yo read the book to my 5yo(then my 5 yo started reading what she could..lol, now they are working on the rest of the books) and they can't wait..they have literally been counting down to the release of this movie since the day they heard it was comming out. I heard it was a bit more violent then The first..which my 5 yo watches at aleast once a week...we'll see.
Have a great day Fockers!!

 

[laura001]

Where are you staying? We will be at Pop, Could be a liitle later than the nd too, due to my work scedule ! Wewould be there still on the 9th anyway !!

We are hoping to be at The Boardwalk Villas, just waiting to rent points and book it which I think can be in November sometime. If we don't get the Boardwalk, we might try the Beach Club.
\


WOWWW!!!!! Am caught up reading from last night, I can't even comment.....my head is SWIMMING!!!! This is a full time job......can I get reading pay somewhere???

 

[jcc0621]

Good Morning all. Just popping in waiting for my girlfriend to get here so we can hit the outlet mall

Lessa, Glad all the chatting semed to calm you down a bit. If it makes them feel better tell you family that you have a friend (me) who didn't get married until she was 33 and had her baby at 36

As for Jimmy - He woke up quite chipper at 7:00am with no recollection of his tantrum last night, which makes me think he was asleep to begin with

Jo - Gald Ellie and her freind went to sleep early for you and I hope Jess isn't too cranky!

V -What time are you due back. Hope you had a great time

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Ack! I tried to skim through everything, but I can't remember most of it!

TE: I'm glad you dad's improving. I hope he's home soon.

T: I'm so glad Maddie's fever broke. I was struggling with feeling helpless with Baylie having pain last week, so I know how you felt.

Lessa: I'm glad you could talk it out and feel better. I was just talking to my friend the other night about similar stuff. I'll post about it separatly, though.

We went to Schlitterbahn yesterday it was so cloudy and chilly (85-probably not chilly to other people) that I didn't swim. Poor Camryn was freezing and shivering most of the time! It's supposed to be 93-96 all week, so we'll probably go again this week.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I siad I would post about my stress about college, etc. But I'm too tired right now, so I deleted it, and I'll look into posting later when I've had coffee! Sorry about that!

 

[englishrose47]

Good Morning all!
Lessa I have no degree, but have to say I love the field I'm in now and could kick myself for not getting into it years ago!!I've known for many years that Human Services was what I loved and now I've been in the MR field for 6 years I know that is where I belong.Do I make as much as a lawyer Haa! But I am richer in spirit than any lawyer could ever be! Sorry I'm not meaning to single out lawyers, it's just they do make good money!! So Lessa do what makes you happy what ever it is!!
Kat you were a wrestler!!???

 

[TEminnie]

CE sounds like you had a very interesting evening. I probably would have been dying of laughter.

I love Pampered Chef, especially the stoneware.

I really dislike this uncertainty in my life right now, life is not as simple as they made it out to be when I was growing up. We were always told to get good grades in school so that you get into a good university and then you'll get a good job and meet a great guy, fall in love, get married, buy a nice house and hove 2.5 kids. So here I am done with university and wondering, what now?

Did any of you ever go through these "growing pains" of uncertainty that I seem to be experiencing?

I think that's a part of life.
When I was your age, I was so focused on college, marriage, new house that I think I missed the "enjoy things whilst you're young" part. ( What's that country music song "you're gonna miss these times.....")
I think we all ask "what's my purpose??" now and then--think about what you really like to do.....do you like being inside? outside? with people? with only people you like?
I took a job satisfaction course at work one year and found out that it's very important for me to like my coworkers and working environment (even more than the actual job).
If I had it to do over, I would probably go into pharmacy or accounting, but really, my job is great for moms who want to work PT so that's good.
You have more options open to you know that when you have kids and a mortgage, so take your time and think what you want to do.

(ok--that'll be $65 for TE's Career counseling---paypal accepted! )

Aww Lessa. I'm 41 (next month) and still get those anxsious moments. You'll get through it. What is your degree in? HR is a great field to get into

What is the date???

 

[dreamn_Disney]

Just a quick post to say hi. I have been trying to read here a few times a week but do not have much time right now. Dd hurt her knee in tennis and can not put any weight on it. School is as usual kicking my butt. I have about 3 more weeks then off for the summer.

 

[princessjv]

I was up late. Fell asleep with the laptop on my belly even. But you girls were up really late!

Lessa- You be what ever you want to be...when you grow up. You can change career choices anytime you want!

Janet- Jimmy was dreamin. To bad you weren't Have fun at the outlet mall.


Kat- Really you were a wrestler? Wow! You go girl!


JO- Glad the sleepover went well. What is Esther?

_____________________________________________________________

Well I just woke up. My DH let me sleep in, cause I am feeling not so good today (yesterday too). I have the aches, pains and sleepies. I am thinking it is more than allergies,

My dh has kept the kiddos down stairs until a few minutes ago, when I was bombarded with hugs and kisses. Love the hugs and kisses from them I am trying to get my dh out the door and clean up our yard! We will have the association after us if we doesn't weed the flower beds and re-mulch! I must say our yard is looking a bit shabby. The yard is not my area...since I am allergic it.

DH just informed me that he is in need of going on a 10 mile run today. He signed up for the Twin Cities Marathon (again). However this time he swore he would get his butt out of bed before the family and get his runs done (with exception of the 20 mile+ runs). He is not living up to his end of the bargain!

Can you tell I've had it with him... Between traveling to Connecticut, Utah, Chicago, Ohio...now India... He is gonna have to hire help for the yard if he doesn't start stepping up at home.

OKAY~ Vent Over. Promise. I have to go get my DS to make a card. He has a b-day party to attend in a few hours. Then it will just be Tink to deal with.

 

[cmp1111]

Hang on a minute, you married D 8 days after meeting him

No, 8 years. I double checked, and I didn't mistype it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, everyone, for laughing along with me.

We really have nothing at all planned for today. I had been kind of keeping it open for family stuff, as I didn't find out until Friday that no one was coming until later today. D should be home at some point, but I'm not sure when.

It's a lovely day right now. I have the urge to go to the garden center and get some plants, but I have a gift certificate to a local one that I'm not sure is open on Sundays. I'll have to check that out!

Someone asked if the graduation thing was sorted - it is, but not as well as I thought. MIL & SIL said Friday that the actual ceremony was from 2-4, making it easy for us to just show up for dinner and not have to spend the day down there, but MIL called back last night and the ceremony IS at 11:00 (which I thought all along, based on the first info back in Dec.) So, we'll probably be obligated to show up more along the 1:30 line and find an activity with MIL and such before dinner.

Woody is freaking out, now, btw, because he found out he has to miss tennis lessons. I asked if he'd rather do tennis or see grandma, since he couldn't do both. He picked tennis. After some thought, though, he saw the benefit of picking the thing that can only happen tomorrow, not the one that happens every week.

Just wanted to take a minute and give you a big . I know exactly how you are feeling. I am wondering the same things about after school. I work so hard on my school work and it seems like I have time for little else. Then I wonder what if I can not get a job in my field after I graduate. What if I can't pay off the loans on my income. What if my kids do not want to spend time with me once I am out of school because of feeling neglected while I studied.

Hey, we're always a good group to vent to.

 

[TEminnie]

You can always vent to us! I'm ticked cause DH is working...again.... We never get just a nice Sunday morning.
But---on the bright side---I did use my 30% Kohls coupon (PM me if you want it) and I bought Rachel Ray hard anodized cookware set for $112 total!

Hello there you dear Fockers you!!!

I was just crusing around in between my mundane duties and found this thread.

Are you guys having any meets the end of Aug or first two weeks of September?

If so might I drop by even though I am a member of a few other groups?

I plan to get an office chair and just wheel from one group to another. Do I need body armour to do so?

I figure we are all DISers and I plan to love you ALL!!!! (whether you want it or not)

Slightly Goofy (lanyard at the ready AND a can of corn)

It is an amazing amount of pressure isn't it? Last night I just felt like I had a huge weight pushing down on my chest from the anxiety that had been building up. I'm feeling better today but it still all freaks me out a bit. I'm trying not to focus on it too much though.

Hey, haven't seen you around in a while. We have a lot of people going at the end of August. We have a group pre-tr going, but I am bad and never linked it in my signature. I think Jo and Disneyland_Mama have it.

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo - Gald Ellie and her freind went to sleep early for you and I hope Jess isn't too cranky!

Jess didn't go to sleep until 8am when I picked her up at 2pm she was still in her PJ's Not looking forward to later though!!!!

I siad I would post about my stress about college, etc. But I'm too tired right now, so I deleted it, and I'll look into posting later when I've had coffee! Sorry about that!

We're here for you when you want to post

But I am richer in spirit than any lawyer could ever be!

Rosie that's a lovely thing to say!

I took a job satisfaction course at work one year and found out that it's very important for me to like my coworkers and working environment (even more than the actual job).

Good coworkers (we say colleagues) make all the difference!

JO- Glad the sleepover went well. What is Esther?

Esther is a Queen in the Old Testament, she saved loads of Jews apparently, I really should know more but luckily I only teach the little ones so it's more craft based

No, 8 years. I double checked, and I didn't mistype it.

how on earth did I read days? So when is this graduation?

Like my avatar???

I noticed it straight away, very you

Are you guys having any meets the end of Aug or first two weeks of September?

Hi Linda, long time no hear We've got a big meet on the 23rd August then a smaller one on Tuesday 26th

I think Jo and Disneyland_Mama have it.

Yep links in my siggie



Well as I said to Janet Jess went to sleep at 8am so I'm expecting a very grumpy girl later, so far so good though. They also had their final Communion lesson today where the Vicar tried to get them to take on roles in the Church, luckily my 2 decided not to do anything as we have so much on already, very Christian of me I know

Having roast in a little while and I cooked my leg of lamb in the slow cooker, it smells gorgeous
