DELETE, DELETE, DELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am doing, I never thought to do it before

DING DING DING....We have a winner Sheriff!

So we left the house in the early afternoon to have some early dinner before the show. We also decided to phone ahead a Borders store near Penn Station (a 15 min walk from the concert) and they let us pre-order the book! SO we made that our first stop, so we could get a wristband to be on the line at midnight for the book.

Sounds like fun Kat, lots of queueing though!

Jo, has the NBC show Baby Borrowers made it over the pond yet? I watched it this summer.

We have something similar and I think it's a great idea

2136 subs?!?! How do you keep up? Are you a speed reader?

Some were from January 2007

So Jo.. to Mark this "Auspicious Occasion.".. I present to you...

The "LGMB AWARD"​

[/CENTER]

Oh my, thankyou thankyou

On behalf of Jo I would like to thank the academy for this great honor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.......

I don't know what that means Jo. Speak to me like I don't speak proper English.

You don't know what a screwdriver is? Wow you are bad at DIY

I was like "they are kidding right?" They also told KC they didn';t even know there was more than one park.

Sorry but

[/CENTER]

Katt these are awesome

I just wanted to let you guys see my newest nephew!!! His name is Nathaniel Harlan and he's just a peach!

Mel what a cutie, glad your DS is feeling better too!

Really? Who ya PMing?

Yeah, I never get PM's

got bad news today... at least for Sarabeth... The schools I applied to WILL NOT TAKE SARA NEXT YEAR .And we just can not move there right now to force them to take her.

I'm so sorry, kids are so cruel, maybe a new girl will start who Sara can befriend!

Dad & I are driving home today. I was hoping to be gone about 5 minutes ago, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Be safe CE, is your Dad coming to stay at your house?

OH< and guess what! STUPID Spirit Airlines emailed me yesterday and changed my flights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M FURIOUS! They changed our DIRECT flight detroit-mco to a detroit-ft. lauderdale-mco.

I just never understand this flight moving stuff

I found you! Thanks a lot guys I couldn't figure why thread was so slow !! Till I read the last 2 pages !! I'm on board !!

Hi Rosie!!!!

I make a Motion that today is National Mel Day.. do I hear a Second ??

I'll fourth it (I think)




Ben was excellent last night, he went to bed at 7pm woke at 4.30am and then slept till 9am Dad was up with Ollie at 1, 3 and 5, I'm glad I've got Ben

We've been to Mum's this morning and both boys are having their afternoon sleep

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I can't reply individually this morning because we're about to leave. But, here's a few things I remember...

Katt- I'm sorry about the school thing. That's hard. Friends are so important at their age.
And, funny, while we were on the phone you didn't mention you said "buttcrack of dawn" on the board.

Z- I was thinking the same thing. Don't tell your boyfriend you're single in your mind!

Mel- I'm glad you both got some sleep. That's so wonderufl that he was able to calm himself down.

Uh, yeah, I'm done. What's happened to my memory lately? I put my pill on the desk and I can't for the life of me remember if I took it or knocked it onthe ground and the dog ate it. And, this is the second day in a row I can't remember. I had to count the pills yesterday.

Happy Mel Day!!!!
Mel- have I told you how much I love your outfit today? It's so slimming. I just love how it accents your eyes.​

Okay... I'm done. It's Mel day, but it sounds like I want to date her so I should stop now.

 

[DisneyJo]

You'll all be so proud, I'm down to 94 threads Mainly TR's and dining reviews, I need to have a look through and see if some of them have actually been completed! BTW Michelle has changed the title of her TR's to just .....


Jess has just come in saying Ben has a dirty nappy, why do I always get the smelly jobs?

 

[PrincessV]

BTW Michelle has changed the title of her TR's to just .....

I saw that too. Also, some that haven't been bumpoed in a few months (cough... Kate... cough) can't be replied to anymore.

 

[Goofyluver]

got bad news today... at least for Sarabeth... The schools I applied to WILL NOT TAKE SARA NEXT YEAR .And we just can not move there right now to force them to take her.

In short... her absences... 15 last year... 11 the year before. Does not matter that she was sick.. or had surgery. So lets just say I am and Sara is

It's going to be a long year I'm afraid.

I hope it works out honey.

I am fighting a bit of a cold. The kind that is trying to come full on, but I am trying to fight it back!

Feel better honey.

MEL-love the pics...and glad that your baby did well last night. You feel better too.

And Happy Mel day...or course.

To everyone else...I forgot what i was going to say...so hi!

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

I am freaking out. Please let me just freak out for a minute.

I'm taking Jon this morning to his junior high to pick up his schedule and to get the lay of the land. I have to meet with all the teachers, counselors, principal, nurse, therapists...etc over the next few days.

And I am freaking out.

I mean like heart pouding, gonna puke freak out.

This is the first time in years that Jon hasn't been in my school. Not only that...but it's junior high.

I have positioned "cousins" all over the school to watch out for him...to make sure everyone leaves him alone...hopefully.

He will have some friends there...so that's good.

But, I'm terrified for him. And I really feel like I could pass out. He is so far behind academically and socially...and I don't want these teachers or kids or anyone to eat my baby up.

I am in full-blown panic mode...and yes...I have already popped a Xanax. I have panic attacks as well. And things like this set me off. I thought i was ready...I'm not ready.

I know he will be okay...but i don't feel like he will be okay...IYKWIM.

But, I have to act like I"m okay...and everything is okay.

Think I"m crazy if you want...but I'm terrified. OK...I"m done.

 

[PrincessV]

I am freaking out. Please let me just freak out for a minute.

[
Okay sweetie, breathe! In. And out. Another - in. And out.

Now, take a few of these:

And state, "I am NOT crazy, I'm a MOTHER." You'll get through this, and Jon will too, but you're still entitled to some freaking out.

 

[Muffinygood]

First, Thanks! **curtsying** I appreciate the MEL DAY celebrations!

Good thing it's Mel Day too. I was doing a 3 pt. turn in an alley earlier today and took off all the paint on my passenger side front fender. I called Bob and told him and he said, "Oh, Muffin...What are we going to do with you?"
God only knows how bad it would've been if it WASN'T Mel Day....

Jen, don't feel crazy or bad for freaking out. I totally understand! V's right. You are a mom, it's fraught with worrying. It's practically the WHOLE job, in some ways.
He'll do great. And when he doesn't you'll KNOW. Because you raised him right, and he'll make good decisions.

Breathe deep girlfriend. Things are going to get better. They have to.

MEL

BTW: Katt, I like Sara too! She's a happy, bubbly girl. Tell her Mel says to keep being SARA! She'll be a stronger person and she'll meet a better friend!

I can't imagine your stress. You're an awesome momma to an awesome boy. You've prepared him better than you know.

I saw that too. Also, some that haven't been bumpoed in a few months (cough... Kate... cough) can't be replied to anymore.

Has anyone heard from her? I hope all is well.

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

Katt, sorry to hear things are rough for Sara. I can't imagine a school denying a child an education because of absenteeism, especially if it's documented. And the friend thing is so hard She'll find her way.


Mel, cutie, CUTIE baby boy!

Janet, #3 son wants to steal your trophy. He said "we need one of those."

Hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Jen - Don't feel bad about being anxious for Jon, it is only natural. Heck I'm not a mother and I worry for my brothers like I was one. I'm sure everything will work out fine for him.

 

[kykatt2]

Well I was working on a Little Something for "Mel" since it's National Mel Day...But Sarabeth saw me working on something..and she created this so I think I'll post it up instead...

Happy National Mel Day !!​

I did add a TFW in there for Advertising

Don't wanna!!

Not in a couple weeks.

 

[KatGarcia]

HAPPY MEL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well I really haven't made it official in my head but he keeps telling everyone I'm his girlfriend so I thought I'd just make it simple when talking about him to call him my boyfriend. It's been 6 months and things are still good. Although in my head I'm still single.

LOL! As long as he's nice to you thats all that matters...what he doesn't know about official titles won't hurt him!

Sounds like fun Kat, lots of queueing though!

It was! I swear when we are on a long line somewhere I always ask KC is we get to go on Thunder Mountain when we are done?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm having "one of those days" or: an anxiety ridden one. I dunno why. I think my brain thinks I have too much to do in the next 13 days or something. My tummy is knotted and icky. So I'm going to pack and hope I can calm myself down.

Last night my neighbors (the usually loud music playing ones) had a literal brawl! They hit the walls so hard they knocked a shelf and my clock off the kitchen wall! it was scary. Police were called but I think the mom ran out of the house. Her daughter was screaming out the door that she wouldn't let her out. Really shook me up. I wish she would just get kicked out of the darn building already!

Oh and haven't spoken to the friends about the Disney trip yet, KC had a bad day and didn't wanna deal with them yesterday (they tend to bug him for not being more available).

Send some calming thoughts my way everyone!

 

[Muffinygood]

I love my trophy! Thanks Sarabeth!!

I'm going to call my sis now and see how she's doing. Have you guys watched Tory and Dean's show on Oxygen? I wanted to hate her, but she's really sweet. I'm watching now...

MEL

Yeah I was the same way, when she was on 90210 I hatred her, now I watch the show all the time. She's funny.And her son is adorable!!

I'm sorry. I would be flipping out too. B's in 6th grade (middle school) this year too and while I dont have to send her to a school, I do have to back off a bit where dance is concerned. It's always been her and me at competitions, now there's an unwritten 'no moms in the dressing area' rule. How will she get ready for 6 dances without her mama?
I'm sure that Jon and Baylie will somehow get through a lot better than we think they will

So, now that it's later, how'd the visit go?

First, Thanks! **curtsying** I appreciate the MEL DAY celebrations!

Tell her she did a great job!

We're back from meeting my mom and we're about to do history. I had to have the kids bathe first. They were covered in sweat and woodchips from the playground!
We stopped at a cool store in the town I went to college in and I took a picture of the kids with funky sunglasses on. I'll have to post it later.

You are allowed to freak out. My son is in 4th grade and I am already freaking out about middle school.

 

[ncsjodi]

Okay, so I accidentally found out who DD7's teacher is today. I was delivering some stuff to the school office and saw that there were class lists sitting there. I didn't rifle through them or anything, but did happen to glance at one of the second grade lists and DD's name was on it. So, now I know who her teacher is and....

I'm feeling a bit .

I know the teacher (she's not one of the 2 new ones), but I don't know much about her. I'm going to have to find out from someone whose kid had her last year what they think.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes knowledge doesn't help me at all....
