Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[Goofyluver]

I think I recall that WISE FOCKER? She was short, round and sort of blind, right?

OMG! You know her???

The link to the Ziti noodles had me rolling.

It was the best I could do with short notice!

They look a bit like penne I think

Ummm...yea, but the ends are straight instead of all cattywhompus!

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

OMG Dawn! Are you a Cowgirls fan too???

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Today, SD had a 1/2 pill again. Talked to his DR. She said to give it to him if he needs it. That its way more important to make it through the day than worry about what a 1/4 dose a day is doing to him....

Talked with the Social worker and the guidance counsellor at his school. They are all so great there!

My HORRIBLE inlaws will be here Wed. ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH. I'm sure I'll have a breakdown between them, Bob being gone and SD's issues. OMG. Does anyone want me to come visit them for a week or so? I'm thinking of running away from home.

MEL

I am so glad the school is willing to help you out and get things settled for SD!

I would say run away to here but it's kind of boring around here. At the end of the month though would be a great time. We have a pumpkin festival at the end of Septemebr. Octoberfest at the beginning of October. And some other festival come the middle of October. I love fall and all the festivals it brings.

Yup. Jon was so stoked yesterday about the race. And those dang Dallas Cowgirls won too! So, he was in hog heaven just about all day long.

Dallas Cowgirls...sorry I just found that funny!

As for the in-laws...

A wise Focker once told me...

Picture this:

Calm blue ocean.

Calm blue ocean.

Throwing the in-laws into the calm blue ocean.

Calm blue ocean.

I am sooooooooo going to have to remember this one!

They look a bit like penne I think

That's what I think of when I think of ziti.

This weekend was so busy... the girls had a dance clinic on Saturday morning. It's normally so fun b/c the girls get to dance at half-time at the next game. But since B and her friend are 6th graders this year, they don't. They just learned dance skills. uh, hello, she's in 6 hours of dance a week, she's got skillz. We want to see her on the field! I don't think I'll do it next year for B.

A had his first baseball game right after I picked the girls up. It was so hot! I got a little burn on my face and arms in that one hour. The girls kept getting wet paper towels and wiping their faces with them. In the last inning A was the faux-pitcher (It's coach pitch.) and he kept watching the ball roll by because he was so exhasuted from the heat. Poor guy!

B had a sleepover on Saturday night too, so that was fun.

Sunday we got ready to go to church and my NEW car wouldn't start! I was so annoyed. I ended up taking just the kids to church with me since we couldn't all 6 fit in K's truck. Later we tried jumping the battery and it seems fine now. Thank goodness. We do have a warrenty, but it would have been annoying to deal with all of that while I was trying to do school.

So, what did everyone else do?
[/COLOR]

Man, you WERE busy! That sucks about the new car! Hope it's nothing too bad and at least it's still under warranty.

Hey Jo, love the avatar. Was that taken at Epcot on 8/24? That rainbow was amazing.

I noticed that too and was wonderng. Very pretty!

to CE and Kat! Hope you both are having good days!

 

[cmp1111]

Ummm...yea, but the ends are straight instead of all cattywhompus!

I love your term.

to CE and Kat! Hope you both are having good days!

Hi, Lori - so far, so good.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Oooh, that one's just weird looking...

So I just got so guiltified over not going to the gym that I took a run around the neighborhood.

I stink.
Both at running, and in the general sense.

But it was good. I feel better about myself.

Except now I need a shower.

So I'll see you in a bit.

 

[ncsjodi]

Hi Fockers!

I just caught up on the last ten pages!!!!! My, you girls have been chatty!

We went to my nephew's birthday party yesterday. The girls had fun playing with their cousins. Got home just in time to watch some guys dressed up as the Colts play really bad football. I'm not sure who those guys were, but it wasn't Peyton and my guys.

Today I'm trying to wrap up everything I need to get done before surgery tomorrow. The hospital called at 11:30 to tell me that I've been moved up to 9:15 am instead of 10:45 am. So, this means I won't be here when the girls wake up, since I have to be at the hospital by 7:45am. I'm going to have to see if DD7 wants me to wake her up in the morning before we leave. DD4 won't care.

I had lunch with DD7 at school today and did a huge grocery shopping trip. DD4 is now home from school and has a little friend over to play. They're watching a movie. I've got to get my office cleaned up and all the papers filed. Then, I've got a bathroom to clean. My mom will be here this evening after we get home from DD4's first soccer practice.

I'm still not having any pain or anything, but the anxiety is running pretty high. I'm trying to keep busy so I don't think about it. I'm off to read all the TR updates now!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

OMG Dawn! Are you a Cowgirls fan too???

Nah... I don't really care much one way or the other, but they are the team of Texas. I dont count the Texans, I guess.
I always liked to look at Troy Aikman.

So I just got so guiltified over not going to the gym that I took a run around the neighborhood.

I don't have that issue with guilt over exercising...
Smell ya laters!


Lori- Hopefully it's just the battery got run down somehow. It seems fine now.

Tonight's 4 hours of dance. This long dance hours thing is messing up dinner for us. I made these little crescent roll ups with turkey and cheese so the girls can eat them in between classes. I'm having to get creative Mondays and Thursdays!

Things will be fine no matter what happens. You have a great family and all of us to love on you. I'll keep my cell with me upstairs tomorrow so I can report to the TFW as soon as Eric texts me.

That's a lot!

Yeah, B dances from 4-5 and 6-8. Then C dances from 5-7. I am going to hang at the studio from 4-5 and 7-8 so C won't be alone there while B's dancing.
B's required to take the 4 hours of team class, then ballet and Jazz, so that's where all hers comes in. C is in ballet/tap and jazz.

 

[cmp1111]

So if anyone's as pathetic as I am, ABC Family is showing a Sabrina, the Teenage Wench episode at the AK.

 

[jcc0621]

Yes, I'm back. Already. Work sucks and I needed a visit to my Happy Place.

Hope it gets better

I"m glad he's doing okay now!!!

And the uniforms...they are so cute! Around here they are much more stuffy.

IT is really the gym uniform for the rest of the school, but for PreK they wear it all year long instead of the regular uniform. THere are sweatpants and sweatshirts for winter!



]

Look how cute he is!!! Glad to hear that he ended up liking it in the end! Hopefully it does say that way.

Hopefully it will kepp up. Tomorrow willbe interesting becasue he will be there the whole day and I won't be there with him!

Wow I didn't realise uniforms came so casual, it was the socks that shocked me, very smart though!

It is really the gym uniform, but for PreK they wear it all year. Once he gets to Kindergarten his uniform will be a little more. Navy slacks, white gold shirt and dress shoes. THen he will only get to wear the gym uiform once a week! There are sweats for the winter too!

Well you'll all be pleased to know that I played golf today David and I played and I beat him I'm playing again tomorrow, it's meant to rain though, in a pairs competition with a lady called Hilda, lets just say she's slightly older than me

COngrats on beating David

Janet: Jimmy is ADORABLE with a capital A! Cute backpack too!

Thanks Mel!

SO glad they are working on this with you

MEL

Feel free to come to Philly! Only thing is you'd have to sleep on the couch!

Yup. Jon was so stoked yesterday about the race. And those dang Dallas Cowgirls won too! So, he was in hog heaven just about all day long.

I thought you raised that boy right, but I guess not since he is a Cowgirls fan

I'm kidding. We don't really watch football much even though I like it fine. Now that I read that Brady hurt himself and the Cowboys are the ones to beat, I should watch this season. Not to mention it's so much cooler on the new t.v. and surround sound!

Another cogirls fan

Woohoo, and how cute!

Thanks CE!

Hello all...Happy Monday!

OMG Dawn! Are you a Cowgirls fan too???

Sad isn't it Jim has a shirt that he wears every SUnday during football. It says "I support two teams, the Eagels and whoever kicks the Cowboys @#$.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back from taking Jimmy out to lunch to celebrate the first day of school and then his friend Matt (and his mom) came over for a short playdate until she had to go back to school to pick up Rose.

We ordered tickets to see Disneyland on Ice. We got great seats (club boxes! ) for October 19th.

I'm catching up here and then I am off to cook my chicken so I can make chicken parm for dinner tonight.

I'll check back in later. Hope you are all having a good day!

 

[jcc0621]

So if anyone's as pathetic as I am, ABC Family is showing a Sabrina, the Teenage Wench episode at the AK.

Would like to watch it, but we are watching the Brave Little Toaster goes to Mars on Toon Disney

Sounds yum!

It really only caught my eye because I can see the episode titles on the "guide" and it was "Disneyworld."

I will say that if they're supposed to be at AKL, they are not. But they are at AK!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

So if anyone's as pathetic as I am, ABC Family is showing a Sabrina, the Teenage Wench episode at the AK.

Janet- I forgot to say that Jimmy's so stinkin' cute! I love how his socks are pulled up!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Janet, great pictures of Jimmy's first day. I'm glad it went well...did you take the day off?

CE, sorry you have guilt and now you're smelly.

Mel, hang in there I get my in-laws solo quite a bit...BOTH sets

Jodi, you'll be in my thoughts tomorrow.

Jo, congrats on beating David. I bet he wouldn't be too happy to know you've shared that with us.

I hope everyone is having a good day. I only have a moment so I thought I'd say a quick hi (and try to keep up with you ladies!)

 

[KatGarcia]

So the end of the month is KC's BFF Pants' birthday. He is know to do crazy over the top stuff for us for holidays so we had to come up with something good... and I did. We got tickets to see Grease on Broadway for the first Thursday in Oct! We are going to find a nice restaurant that offers those pre-fix menu deals and take him out to eat as well. I'm excited!

Anyone who wears a Cowgirls uniform is not sexy.

It's like a disease down here. Everyone is on the Cowgirls bandwagon.

Sad isn't it Jim has a shirt that he wears every SUnday during football. It says "I support two teams, the Eagels and whoever kicks the Cowboys @#$.

I. Need. That. Shirt!!!

So we have posher pasta here then

I don't know. Does your pasta speak with a British accent???

Darn, missed stalking opportunity, you should have been in Canada watching Off Kilter.
