[dreamn_Disney]

Janet glad to hear dad is home.

 

[Muffinygood]

JENNNNNNNN! Where arrrrrre youuuuuu???

WTH??? I would've smacked her in the face. My girls are medium...not huge...but not small either. I just wish that after nursing Jon they weren't all National Geographic.

OMG. Please do not make me laugh like that. My pee control is not as good as it used to be....

Hey all. Just talked to mom. Dad is home and resting.

Glad Dad's home. Hope he's doing well.

--------
Took kids for pizza then music lessons. We're home now, watching Spongebob. SD wants to watch Olympic gymnastics tonight. Bob has work dinner meetings so he's not home.

How is everyone?

I just posted this on the 86'd thread, but wanted to re-post here, too....

Up and running!

Click here to check out the TFW Meets picture page. What do you think? Worth keeping? Want to me to remonve anything? Ditch the whole idea? Make it private? Add more text in the descriptions?

If we decide to go with it, send me your meet pics and I'll add them!

Oh I just realized you can add my pic w/ Jo! Ok how do I send to you. Can I just post it here?

You didn't see the Men's Relay?!?!? I understand though, it was pretty late when they showed it. Well don't you just love the internet?
Here it is in all it's glory.

If you click on the video in the middle of the article you can watch it. (You might have to download some viewing thingy NBC has for that website though).

Lessa: I'd never heard of Thank yous afterward either. I mean sometimes jobs don't even bother to follow up and tell you you didn't get the job so why should I thank them. Whatever....

Janet: Yay!!! Glad your dad's at home and better.

Jen2: On Jon having to have more treatments. I hope flat Jen is found soon.

Oh this is so bad and I need hugs from you all. I told P parents that she needed some preschool. We talked and I figured they would put he in a half day program some place and then they came in today and said they were putting her in a full day home daycare/preschool. I am just numb and sad and feel like someone is taking my child. I have cared for her since she was 10 months old. Her and my son are best friends. She loves me but to the parents I am just the sitter. My son and her will not see each other any more. I know some will say oh ya they will have play dates but I know in my heart it will not happen. The two of them have been asking for a play date for months now and her parents do not plan one. They never seemed to like me. They knew I took good care of P but never cared for me as a friend. KWIM. I just feel like I am going to die inside.

I'm so sorry.

Whew! What a day so far! Not bad, just busy. We went to buy shoes today and C picked out the cutest, sassy shoes ever.

I've got a pair of Rocket Dog flip/flops with that scheme. Love em'!

Check this out Expedition Everest sim you can remove the buildings and mountain to see what the ride actually does in the dark

I tried it. So cool!

Jo - 5 miles. Hooray!!

Mel - Sorry the ILs are crazy.

Janet - Good news about your Dad!

GLUV - Good for Jon!!
----------------------------------------
Gorgeous day in Central Indiana today. I worked on my Central Florida tan. DH finally goes to see the chemo doctor on this Thurs. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to know that they have taken so long to get there 'stuff' together, nothing is going to start until after we get back from WDW on Sept. 14th.

I wish all of you that are going to Focker Fest a safe and happy trip to WDW. Show em' how real DISers do it, OK.

I hadn't seen it either, thanks for the link!

Lessa: I'd never heard of Thank yous afterward either. I mean sometimes jobs don't even bother to follow up and tell you you didn't get the job so why should I thank them. Whatever....

Glad I am not the only one who hadn't heard of it!

 

[kykatt2]

:RE: Webkinz.... Glad we don't have them here

Oh Jo... I was going to send one to your resort in WDW for the girls to get them hooked.. all the stuff for them can ALWAYS be found ON-LINE

Looks great V except can you get rid of the one of me in the background with the wet T-Shirt please

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE UP ????

 

[PrincessV]

Got it - thanks!

You didn't see the Men's Relay?!?!?

All is well - I watched the replay yesterday!

Morning Fockers!

Leo's at work wiht me again this morning. Yesterday, he was very quiet and well-behaved. Today, he's pretending the legos are a forest and a pack of dogs is hunting down a bear. Lovely.

He and I watched the cross-country portion of the equestrian eventing competition and he really liked it - says he wants to learn how to ride like that!

Off to get some work done...

 

[dismom9761]

Well, we're just back from the docs. Jon's doing better...but his asthma is still acting up. So...she extended the steroids. Yay. Another week and a half of roid rage.

Today was actually his 12-year-old check-up. I can't believe he's 12.

Other than that...we're watching the Olympics and getting ready for the garage sale this weekend.

Oh...and T-minus 2 days and my baby enters junior high!

Hey all. Just talked to mom. Dad is home and resting.

Sorry to hear he is still on the meds.Is he on any maintenance meds?Peyton is doing well with his asthma but there were a few years when he took meds every day.

Great pic!

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE UP ????

I am up. Had to get the older kids on the bus and then take Rachel to school and DH to work.Living with one vehicle..

Sorry but

He and I watched the cross-country portion of the equestrian eventing competition and he really liked it - says he wants to learn how to ride like that!

The only thing I got see was the men's gymnastics, the women's beach volleyball - those women can play , and Michel Phelps in the Butterfly qualifyer. Those men gymnasts are bringing it that is for sure. After the Hamm brothers dropped out everyone said they didn't have a shot at a medal

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

Another day at work trying to get things caught up and cleaned up before vacation. Last night I started on the middle room, making room to put more stuff in there so it is out of the way for the contractor.

Back to work. Have a good day Fockers!

Ooooh a little Olympian in the making!

Great pic!

Thanks and if you'll notice I managed to drag Jo's DH into the picture. His appearances are rare and he labled me a crazy DISer after that. At least that's what Jo says...even though SHE spotted me. LY/MI Jo



Morning Fockers!!!

 

[jcc0621]

Morning Fockers!!!

Morning Z

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Good morning, Fockers! It's raining here! It NEVER rains! I've been so busy the last few days that I didn't even realize it might. So it's even better- surprise rain!

We don't have anything exciting today. B has dance camp again and we're doing school. I may go to the coffee house to chill after we drop her off. I need some caw-fee.


Jo- I think you should get one Webkinz for each of the girls. I bet they'll be really popular there soon and you'll be the coolest mom ever.

My mom is supposed to be going home today.

Janet- I saw your dad is home now.

Laters...

 

[princessjv]

Good Morning Girls~

Not much new here (same old... different day). It is raining though and I am going to try to figure out something to do to get the kids out of the house, since my DH decided to yet again work from home.

My family is totally addicted to the Olympics. The minute they wake up, until it is time for sleep, they want to watch it! I watched swimming, diving and gymnastics yesterday. I too am in awww.



V~ Did Leo stay at work with you the Whole day yesterday? I am impressed that you can bring him there. It is also VERY CUTE!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Morning Z

Morning Janet! How's work goin' so far?

BTW I was soooo happy for the Men's gymnastics team although I was kinda mad at some of their scores on certain routines. Didn't it seem like the other teams *cough* China *cough* were getting scored slightly higher? Then again I'm no judge. So happy they medaled though.

Oh and Phelps is an athletic god.

Good morning, Fockers!

Morning HSM!

on your Mom coming home!

 

[PrincessV]

V~ Did Leo stay at work with you the Whole day yesterday? I am impressed that you can bring him there. It is also VERY CUTE!

Nope, just a couple hours in the morning, then Gramma took over. Same today. School starts next week and ther'es no camp this week, so we had to scramble something together. I'm off tomorrow with Leo and half of Thurs., too. Makes for an interesting work week!

 

[kykatt2]

I am up. Had to get the older kids on the bus and then take Rachel to school and DH to work.Living with one vehicle..

Been there done that... IT IS a Hassle... even if you can stay at home.
You don't realize how much you rely on that vehicle sitting out there till you do not have it.

WE ARE SPOILED Present company Included.

Janet- I saw your dad is home now.

Work is a pain so far I thought China was over scored too, but hey I guess that's why I am not a judge

This drives me crazy. LAst week was the last week for camps here and school doesn't start until the TUesday after labor day. Um, hello most camps are used becasue parents work...what are they supposed to do now. I'm lucky that Jim is home all summer, so I don't have to worry about it but I see all mt firends scrambling...it's ridiculous

 

[Muffinygood]

Morning girls!

Janet: Glad dad is home.
HSM: Mom too!

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

Last night was awful. SD up ALL night panicking again. He woke me and I never got back to sleep. I feel miserable. Bad because I didn't sleep and worse because I can't help SD. Things have to change. I made an appt. with a psychologist yesterday for him. He goes on Monday.

I am really hoping things get better. I can't imagine what he'll do when he has to get up at 6 am for school, in 3 weeks!

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I'm so sorry Mel, this must be rough on the whole family. I really hope you guys can get to the root of the problem.

 

[jcc0621]

Mel - for you and SD

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

Just spoke to my dad on the phone. He sounds great and is talking about all the things he wants to do when we are there next week. I think we make get him a wheel chair...just in case...but I think at 78 (79 come November) he is allowed, no? He also said he can't wait to meet all of my Focker friends...even the flat ones
