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

[HomeschoolMama]

Thanks honey. I know I can...I guess I should say I don't wanna! It gets old. With Jon...there's always a bend in the road...IYKWIM. And although we always catch those bends...sometimes we veer off a little too much to the left before getting back on the straight and narrow. (NODr. Phil euphamisms)

I'm just tired. And overwhelmed. I'll be better in the morning.

I'm doing some retail therapy in the morning before heading back home to Clovis!!!

I know, honey.
Have fun shopping!

I'm going to work at Gus' school this am. In the library, with my favorite girls!!! Yay! That will give me some time away from the inlaws.

I wanted to tell you guys that SD had the BEST day yesterday!!! He didn't have a single moment of anxiety at all! He came home so happy. It really made my day.

Love and hugs to everyone. Have a SUPER day you guys!!



MEL

Tha'ts so wonderful! I'm glad that he had a sunshine day! (Thanks Katt for the term. )

I was just watching the news and saw how inland Ike was going in as it's gotten stronger. Those winds were pretty strong and we only got the outer bands. Make sure to bring in any plants & furniture you don't want to blow away and stay safe!

Yes ma'm. I will. We cleared a space in the garage for my car last night. The old one would weather anything, but I don't want hail on this one!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I go in to meet with my supervisor and manager to make my promotion official . After that don't know what I'll do, gotta run some errands. If the weather is nice the BF and I might go play tennis, although the weather calls for rain.

I was just watching the news and they were talking about the dangers of Crocs and escalators. Apparently someone is suing Crocs because their child's foot got stuck in an escalator whilst wearing Crocs . So all you parents with little ones wearing Crocs watch out for those escalators. Didn't one of the Loud Children lose their Croc like this?

Yeah on the promotion!

Yikes! Crocs scare me! C can't navigate them well. She falls if she wears them too much. I save them for wearing to dance so she can have shoes with tights on.

Looks like I came on line just in time... Since I took about a week off because I was having a "Paddie Melt-down" myself. It's true that sometimes you feel like you are in a Box ( or an MRI MACHINE ) and the walls are closing in on us.. or they start filling our Box up with water and we feel like we are drowning. Honestly I am still in my water filled box.. but my nose is above the water.. so I may be panicked.. but I am breathing.

Whether I want it or not... my shoulders are getting a little broader and stronger. I know that GOD is NOT going to put more on me than I can handle. But I will question him and say "ARE YOU SURE" ? "It looks bad and desperate, and I am going to crack here". "Hello... are you seeing my situation ?? " ( The answer is yes)

But I have also seen the Walls come down, the waters part, and the storm stopped before I TOTALLY DROWN. So I think "JUST ONCE will you stop this before it really gets started"?.

But what I do not know... is WHAT was PREVENTED from entering my life that would wreck my life.. or even kill me.
What car accident was prevented, what violent act was stopped,Why did I not lose my job.... My kid is safe with me right now.. not missing.

SO "Vomit Moments" are understandable.. You are Human... I am Human, so we ask for help from where ever and from who ever. and TRY to remember that when we are in the "MIDST of a STORM" the Sun is shining.. just beyond the clouds... and someday it will come out... just might be a LONG STORM... even years long.. But there is a rainbow at the end. I see that Rainbow when I see my kids smile and are happy.. and even if they are not smiling... they ARE MY SUNSHINE... and Jon is your sunshine.

I pray for Health and Healing for Jon, SD, and for my own Joshua.. and Hope to see the Rainbow one day.. but am happy when I only get a ray of sunshine... that give me the strength to go another mile.

Have you heard the Casting Crowns song, "Praise You In The Storm? It's my favorite song to listen to when I feel overwhelmed.

I was sure by now
God you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth​

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I had to check on you too Dawn... Saw it looked possibly rough for your area.. and I see you are making some preps yourself.

I'm trying to get most of school done so I can head to the store and get a few things. I normally shop on Friday mornings, but I'm going to go today instead.

Some of the schools around here are closed today and tomorrow because people from the gulf coast are being evacuated to the schools around here. So, I expect people will be out and about today getting ready.

I honestly thought you guys would have MOVED BY NOW .. Just checked in to see if anybody left a breadcrumb for me.

You know we would.

I like your new avatar, BTW.

I dropped Linds off at school about 20 minutes ago and now it's just DR and I until 3PM. I don't plan on doing much today besides laundry and clean. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day though and I think after I pick Linds up from school we'll head to the park and play for a bit.

That's about it for me! Hope everyone has a good day!

Have fun!

Thanks Z

I am Some better.. still overwhelmed.. but at least I have some of my "FIGHT BACK"

Hmmmm V is online.... Wonder what she is doing ??


Give us a Good One V... Can't exactly say this one was LESS CURSED


BTW.. "Fockers"....Where were you 7 years ago... right now

I was teaching at a Mom's day out program. I missed the news on the t.v. since Baylie was watching Disney channel. Camryn was only 3 months old and Baylie was 4. When we got in the car to go, I heard all the news on the radio. I was stunned. I just cried and drove to work.

Most of the kids didn't come in, but the few that did were so sad and scared. It was a really hard day. I didn't want to be separated from my babies, so I was upset about that too. I just wanted to hold them.
Once I got home, I was glued to the coverage just like the rest of America. Not too long after that I quit working completely. I didn't like that even though I was a stay-at-home mom, someone else was with my babies those two mornings a week that I was teaching. It really made me think about what I wanted for my family and just do it.

Dawn, Be careful!

I will. Thanks.

well, i am leaving later today. i will miss all of my focker friends. i have been on here for the past 4 months, but i feel like i have known you all forever! i hope everyone is well and here is a hug for you while i'm gone.

you guys are "real" to me!!!

Have fun!!!!

And water - fill up every vessel, just in case!

Really? Why?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I thought I'd check in before I head out for my retail therapy day and then back home to Clovis!

I hope everyone has a happy, safe, and healthy day!

And...we're on like page 246 or something. Who's gonna start a new one???

V??? V??? Where are ya' hon???

V will start one, right? I think we should call it the "No bad luck, we never have bad days, don'tcha wish your thread was great like ours" thread. Maybe positive thinking will help.

SOmeone leave me a link whilst I'm gone to the new thread, please.

Have a fun day!!!!

 

[kykatt2]

I like your new avatar, BTW.

Well Everyone else had gotten a new one so I felt I had too.. added a collie in my siggie too. I have that "Collie Webkinz" and that's all I need. I miss my "Collies" I'd settle for a "Sheltie"... maybe next year.. when we are planning to move

Now how can I buy a new house and make a trip to Disney??

Have you heard the Casting Crowns song, "Praise You In The Storm? It's my favorite song to listen to when I feel overwhelmed.

Yes I know that song... .. It's a good one thats for sure.

 

[jcc0621]

Good Morning all. I had a big long reply and a bunch of replies and my computer went Kerplooey

Z - Great update - YOur are now the Official Focker Recapper Let us know how your meeting goes.

Katt - Hi Glad you check in with us

T - Have a ball at DLR, and I wouldn't feel guilty at all about going without the the kids. Sorry about the turtle, but on the bright side fish are way easier to maintain.

V- When are we atrating a new thread?

Rachel - I probably missed you but have a great time.

Mel - about SD. FOr the in-law dealings, but on the bright side isn't NOTBob coming home today

Jen - I got nothing but lots of for ya. Have fun at therapy

Dawn, Rosie, Lori Who'd I miss that already checked in this morning? Hi to you too

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

Jimmy had a much better second day at school and I hoping the Tuesday problems were just a result of it being a new school We'll see how things go.

Crazy busy at work again, so make sure to leave me a bread crumb or 2 if we start a new thread!

 

[PrincessV]

V??? V??? Where are ya' hon???

I'm here! I even sent you hugs. Didn't you see them? Here's soem more:

SOmeone leave me a link whilst I'm gone to the new thread, please.

No.


Kidding! Will do

Really? Why?

If power's out, local water supply may go down, too, since power's needed for pumps, sanitizing, etc.

V will start one, right? I think we should call it the "No bad luck, we never have bad days, don'tcha wish your thread was great like ours" thread. Maybe positive thinking will help.

No worries, I'll get one up when needed!

Hi Janet... UPS just arrived... Thanks for picking that up for me.. it is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

 

[kykatt2]

O.K... I'm Off to clean and do some laundry... so you can open that new thread up V...

 

[Muffinygood]

Katt's back! With words of wisdom.

I liked the "sunshine day" comment too! And thanks to all of you. It's so nice to have you guys to celebrate with when things actually go right for a change!

Seven years ago:
I was at a coffee group get-together at my friend, Kitty's. Gus was only 4 and he was in preschool 1/2 a day. As we were all chatting in the kitchen, getting goodies and coffee our friend Rhonda came running in from the driveway and yelled, "Put on the TV! Someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center! They think it was on purpose!"
My stomach sank when I saw the footage. I've been in those buildings. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen. I watched all day too. When they fell, I cried.

8888888888888888888888888888
I'm going to have some lunch and do some laundry. Work at school was so great this morning. The 1st graders (we had 3 classes in a row!!) were so darn cute! One little boy told me he didn't want the book he had chosen, as it was "Too Blue." Made me laugh!

Have a great trip Rachel!

Hope everyone else is doing great!

MEL

 

[Goofyluver]

V...I did see your hugs honey! And here's one back!

I'm waiting for my hair to dry so I can straighten it. So...I came back for a second.

7 years ago...

I was getting ready to go to class. I happened to turn on the TV and catch the 2nd plane hitting the 2nd tower. I remember running and calling my motha...because all of our family lives in NY...and many in NYC.

My cousin, who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald, made it out alive. He was not on the top floors when the plane hit.

My grandmother, who lives across the river from the WTCs, was at home that day, and watched the towers be hit and then fall. Debris from the towers floated across the river onto her balcony. I have those papers today. My grandmother, ever the poetic heart-felt lady, watched the towers fall and then went and played bridge. We couldn't find her until the next day.

I left for class shortly after the 2nd plane hit. and I had no idea what had really been happening. About 11:00 in the morning, I called my father and told him I had been hearing snippets of information. He told me both towers had fallen, the pentagon had been hit, and at that time, they didn't really know about the plane the other plane that had gone down.

Jon was in Kindergarten. I don't know why...but I went that day and picked him up from school as soon as I got back into town from my college classes. I wanted him to be near to me. I needed that.

A few year ago, I went and visited that site. I didn't take any pictures, because I didn't need to. Those images are burned in my head. I'll never forget.

Hey Katt... glad to see you back. I think you need a Sheltie! We've got a 9 year old one and he's a wonderful dog.

Dawn ... one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite groups too!

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

Let's see... I slept pretty well last night in my own bed. I woke up and got breakfast going for the girls before school. I took some pain meds and have been in the recliner for the past few hours. My father in law came and picked up DD4 for the day. Don't know what they're doing, but she'll have fun and be spoiled, I'm sure. Eric is working from home for the day. I'm going to go upstairs soon to grab a shower. Otherwise, I'm just resting.

Seven years ago today, I was sitting at home nursing a 3 month old baby. I pretty much spent the entire day glued to the television crying. We had just moved to Indy from the DC area and I knew quite a few military people who were working at the pentagon. I finally managed to get a hold of some church friends from Virginia to find out that everyone was okay. We took DD7 to DC to visit friends in October 2001 and drove by the Pentagon. The television pictures just didn't show the magnitude of that destruction. DH went to NYC less than two weeks after 9/11 for a corporate training job and I was scared the entire time he was gone. What a horrible time in our country's history, but I believe it has made us stronger.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

for Jen

for Mel and SD

 

[HomeschoolMama]

maybe next year.. when we are planning to move

Now how can I buy a new house and make a trip to Disney??

Yes I know that song... .. It's a good one thats for sure.

Do you think I didn't pick up on that? So, what's up? Are you finally moving down the street?

Jimmy had a much better second day at school and I hoping the Tuesday problems were just a result of it being a new school We'll see how things go.

Crazy busy at work again, so make sure to leave me a bread crumb or 2 if we start a new thread!

I'll leave you a cheesy pretzel. That's what I'm eating right now.

If power's out, local water supply may go down, too, since power's needed for pumps, sanitizing, etc.

Oh!!!! I didn't think of that. I did buy three cases of water along with all of our weekly groceries. It was pretty stressful and crowded. I kept having to yank my kids out the other people's way. Everyone was so grouchy.
I guess I'll be scrubbing my tubs tomorrow!

Hi Janet... UPS just arrived... Thanks for picking that up for me.. it is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

How much would it cost for a picture of you in the hair piece?

Our girls must pretty close in age, then. C was three months old too.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm enjoying reading everyone's story of where they were 7 years ago. It's good to remember why we remember today. I bought a book that has lots of pictures in it several years ago. I should sit down with the kids later and read a bit about that day to them. iIdon't want my kids to ever forget either.

 

[puggymom]

HI Jodi, glad you are home and healing!

Hi Mo!

Let's see:

Janet just lost a job

WTG Z, and thanks

I have some sad news to report. Swimmy Squirt died today.

Sounds like good news

Tomorrow Andy's off from work, and we're going to be horrible parents and send the kids to school and then were heading to Disneyland! Our passes expire next week and we aren't renewing them at this time - so we gotta get our fix in while we can and WITHOUT KIDS!!!

Sooooo jealous!!!!!

Sooooo...

Jon was supposed to see 2 docs today.

Jen you are a good amam and Jon is very lucky to have you, just know your imaginary internet friends are always here for you.

Shopping. It does a psyche good!!!

You are going to love my next installment on my trip report then

I wanted to tell you guys that SD had the BEST day yesterday!!! He didn't have a single moment of anxiety at all! He came home so happy. It really made my day.



MEL

Well I go in to meet with my supervisor and manager to make my promotion official .

BTW.. "Fockers"....Where were you 7 years ago... right now

I was at work, the building I worked at had 2 t.v.'s in the atrium , one with CNN and one with Bloomberg.

Someone that worked for me was working from home and called and told me to go look at CNN. I had a consultant that had just started working for me, and at some point she whispered to me, I can't find my daughter.
I asked where she was, downtown Manhatten. OMG, it was horrible, she found her she showed up 1 am that next morning.

I spent 7 years at a Wall Street, had just left earlier that year. I knew former co-workers that didn't come home that day.

My oldest niece and nephew were evacauted from their schools (Kelly's older siblings). THey lived in the same town that the terrorists that hijacked from Newark airport were living in. Someone, called in a bomb threat to the whole school system. The grade school was rushed to a church down the road and told to get down and keep their heads down, my niece was never the same after that day.
Her and my nephew had many schoolmates whose parents didn't come home that night.

I found out a few days later that those animals were shopping in Willowbrook Mall the Saturday before (credit card records), so was I, to say it freaked me out knowing I was in the same place at the same time is an understatement.

9/11 changed me as well, I hope we never forget.

That is scary, Mo.

 

[puggymom]

So I need to vent..
I had a major meltdown at work this morning. I got in early @ 6:45 and saw an email about my client transition. It was witchy poo's proposal on how to proceed. It was sooo unreasonable. A real slap in the face.

I sat here for 45 minutes choking back tears as it was forwarded to me by my VP, so I thought OMG I'm screwed. I nearly got up and walked out.

MY VP called me at 7:30 (she was heading into NYC today and was waiting for the train). SHe asked how I was and I said, all choked up, that I wasn't in a good place. She had me close the door and I let it all out, all my frustrations etc. At the end of my rant she said she agreed with everything, and that she didn't even look at it, just wanted me to see it and get my feedback. She talked to her Sr VP the day before and he has had it with the dragging out of this transition.

MY VP said witchy poo is digging herself a real big hole and she may not be able to get herself out.

She promised to fix this mess ASAP as the right people have seen what I have done the last few months and what witchy poo hasn't.

OMG, I am so drained after all this, I need a vacation. Witchy poo is moving Tuesday

Thanks for letting me vent.

Oh and the cherry on top is Rocky has to go to the vet tonight, crossing fingers he is all right. He has lump on the side that they did a needle aspirate in March, and it was fine, but it is a lot bigger, then I found a growth on one of his legs.

OK gotta go back to work...

 

[sorul82?]

Vent away Mo, we are here for you!

 

[sorul82?]

7 years ago, I was on the phone with my DH's grandmother. We weren't talking much, just holding the phone and knowing that someone was on the other end.

Thank you, Mo. I have spent the better part of the day turning the television on and off hoping for some some sincere, true retelling of the day. All I have seen so far is how this 7th anniversary has become political fodder. We need to remember the people.

I went to the Pentagon last summer while DH was working there. We were fortunate enough to be able to watch the July 4th fireworks from the top of the Pentagon building. As we were escorted out, the security guard walked us right past the place of impact. He let us pause for a moment before continuing to the gate. I was a wreck. To be so close to where so many people suffered and died...to know the heart ache and pain caused by one brief moment in time...to be standing in that spot tore me up. The memorial there is beautiful, and I can only hope it brings a small amount of peace to the family and friends of those who passed.

I'm glad the VP sees what's going on.

Mo- I saw this on someone's avatar and thought you would like it. I don't know what party you vote, but still, it's cute.
