Oh Kat I'm so sorry and I have no words. I know how hard it is to lose a furbaby.

************************************

Hi everyone! I'm so behind, so just jumping in again. I have the weekend off, so it's nice.

 

[debraW76]

Kat I am so sorry.

Wholly crap, Jo! How many trainers do you go through?

Combination of walking boots, trainers and golf shoes!

Cool on the lawn mower score. Is it for you or David? 'Cause if you tell me you mow lawns, I'm proposing, right now!

No that's one of the only things I don't do as it hurts my back

Have you ever heard of such thing? It was defective, I was exchanging it for the SAME EXACT THING!

That's ridiculous it was faulty

Oh, and Evan ate his weight in popcorn and then barfed it all back into his popcorn bucket.

Ewww hope he was OK afterwards!

my ExMil and Fil showed up to the game. First time I have seen them in a year (the last time being in court). First time they spoke to me in 4 years! The last time was when they told me i was going to hell and that I ruined my kids lives.

Were they there to see the kids? Were they OK to you? Hope your little one gets better and I love the sprinkler trampoline

RIP Bale Garcia May 9th, 1992 -April 25th, 2009

I'm so sorry Kat, just think what a good Mommy you've been though

Tomorrow is his birthday, and he kept insisting that we shouldn't get him anything because he bought the boat. The boys and I feel weird, though, so we're going to take him to breakfast, and then I think the first time we go boating, we'll get him a little something for the boat or whatever.

Hope you have a good day!



We've been out all day at a safari park/zoo called Port Lympne, it's really nice has lots of gorillas, rhino, monkeys, elephants etc but you can tell people don't have as much money as it wasn't very busy. But it's so expensive, we had cheap tickets through a supermarket loyalty scheme (same as I got my free Florida flight from) but otherwise it would have cost us over £50 which is about $80 anyway we had fun and it was a gorgeous sunny day!

My Dad just called and my Step-Brothers wife has just had a little boy called Alfie Jack, he was an emergency c-section and weighed in at 9lb2 so quite a big boy!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Congrats, Jo!

Debra- LOVE the sprinkler under the trampoline. I think we'll do that today. The kids asked to wash the car later and who am I to stop them? Maybe afterwards we should let the go to the low rent sprinkler park while we still have a trampoline. It's one of the things we'll be leaving for the new owners.

Today's pretty low key. I'm packing up a few things. There's really very little I can pack that isn't being used. We're expecting to talk to both the realtors today about the inspections. If there's anything little that Kirt needs to repair, we want to do that while he's home today. I know we plan on asking the people we're buying the house from to replace the roof and fix the windows that have a bad seal.

What's everyone else up to today? I'm hoping Mel's power is back on already, but I haven't heard from her.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I'm def NOT ok. 17 years is a logn time to have a cat, he was my first child. SO I am trying to stay distracted, trying to remember to eat and trying to to bawl too much. KC is napping now and then we are going to go out walking just to be out of the house. It's so lonely without him.

anyways just keeping you all updated.

Oh Kat...I'm so sorry.

Well... SHOOT!

Sounds like a fun day with the animals. Wholly cow! A 9 lb baby!!??? I would have wanted a C-section too! Can you imagine trying to squeeze that out???

So when do you have to be out by, Dawn?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Got nothing going on today but lots and lots of !! Probably run to Target and the grocery store today. Oh joy.

Hi CE, Debra, Angela, Z, Hedy & Rosie!

Happy Sunday everyone!

 

[debraW76]

Good morning!

Were they there to see the kids? Were they OK to you? Hope your little one gets better and I love the sprinkler trampoline

They were OK to me. they didn't speak to my mom and she is one of the nicest people I know. Yes, they were there to see Omicron play tball. He was very proud they were there. He scored the run that tied the game so his face was beaming They are just very snotty people who think they are better than anyone else.

Congrats on the new addition. And the zoo park sounded like fun.

Debra- LOVE the sprinkler under the trampoline. I think we'll do that today.

Thanks! Hope they enjoy it. They are doing it again today. Good luck moving. I hate the packing up but I love the unpacking in a new house!

Hi CE, Debra, Angela, Z, Hedy & Rosie!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Hi T! Have fun at target.

Last night I went shopping with Chi and we got some stuff for Disney. I haven't decided if I want to do a pre-TR or not~just not a lot of time ya know. I also started myself on some antibiotics we had leftover from the last time i had strep because I am 99% sure I have it too. Zeta is not feeling good either but doesn't want to take anything. Now we are watching all the kids for signs. I am a little worried about Omicron because he has an appt on Tuesday for some tests and I am not sure if he gets strep if that will interfere with the tests?

We are home churching today since so many are sick. I also am going back out for some more shopping because I wont be able to go to the grocery store again until Friday.

Kat, still thinking of you. I read all of your TRs over the last month but just finished the commando nazi one last night. I couldn't comment since it was already closed, but I could relate to a LOT of what you said. I told my boss that when we tour Disney we tour commando style and he asked me "You don't wear panties?"

 

[HomeschoolMama]

So when do you have to be out by, Dawn?

We're set to close on or before 5/20... I'm hoping before. But the people buying my house have a lease until 6/1, so they don't want to close too soon.

Thanks! Hope they enjoy it. They are doing it again today. Good luck moving. I hate the packing up but I love the unpacking in a new house!

The new house is going to be so different, I'm really trying to think of where I want things. I'm losing the school room and closet. So, I may be putting my printer in the pantry! No telling. I love to organize, so unpacking will be nice.
We really packed almost everything when we listed the house, so it's not too bad now.

I hope everyone gets to feelin' better.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I talked to Mel about an hour ago and they are doing fine. They still don't have power, but she was going to borrow a friend's generator so they could get showered and stuff. Luckily, NotB ob was able to MacGruber the van to hook the fridge up. What a handy guy!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Hey Fockers!!

Just stopping in to say Hi! We've been busy outside all weekend. Doug is in town buying some stuff he forgot for the fence gate. It's been 80+, with high winds. I actually got a mild sun burn on my fore arms yesterday. And I have been reintroduced to some body parts that I have been long ignoring evidently. I feel like

I was watching the race at Talladega. A big wreck in the beginning took out 24 so I've lost interest. I have to go feed the dogs and figure out what we are having for supper. I still need to get out the summer stuff and put up the winter stuff. I'll due a recap later. Have a good one!

 

[lazydoxy66]

PS - KAT, I am very,very sorry about Bale!!!! I wish I could be there to give your a big hug.

 

[DisneyJo]

Congrats, Jo!

Thanks

Well... SHOOT!

Sorry

Wholly cow! A 9 lb baby!!??? I would have wanted a C-section too! Can you imagine trying to squeeze that out???

My friend had an 11 pounder completely natural, she is about 6 ft tall though

They are just very snotty people who think they are better than anyone else.

Sorry but

I also started myself on some antibiotics we had leftover from the last time i had strep because I am 99% sure I have it too.

Oh no

Glad she could at least get showered otherwise CE would be on to her

And I have been reintroduced to some body parts that I have been long ignoring evidently. I feel like

Oh no hope it stops hurting soon!



Earlier Jess decided to play football (soccer) wearing flip flops and took half her big toe nail off I had to pull it off as it was hanging on one side she was so good though it really was yucky and she hardly moaned Anyway it stopped bleeding before it was time to go swimming

 

[Hedy]

Hey all! My laptop kicked the bucket (after 6 years)-anyone love or hate theirs?

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Kat,I'm so sorry about Bale.

QVC has a Dell as the Today's Special Value today. Don't know anything about it except is comes in RED and is on easy pay! I'm sure that helps.

 

[Hedy]

QVC has a Dell as the Today's Special Value today. Don't know anything about it except is comes in RED and is on easy pay! I'm sure that helps.

Sold out (of course, I checked QVC yesterday). I was looking at a Dell refurb in red, and OldestBrother was all "the red would annoy me." I said I'd pay $30 for a skin. I could almost hear the lightbulb over his head. (of course, yesterday I was never buying a Dell again, today it's preferable to the light up laptop from Best Buy).

 

[englishrose47]

Hedy just bought DGD a Dell stating price $399 It 's red which was extra and with s/h was $504 seeing as I got warranty check for $435 not bad it was easy to hook up and works great I will never buy an EverVex again!! Yes I changed the name to suit my feelings !!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Hi all!! Just a quick check-in

Jo: Yay on the new baby in your family and to Jess

Hi T! So what'd you buy at Target?

Dawn: thanks for the Mel report.



No much going on here, just relaxing and enjoying my weekend. I went to the gym a little while ago for awhile. So far so good I guess. I'm proud of myself for keeping it up.

Might go to the beach tomorrow depending on weather. It's been super hot lately.

Anyhoo TTYL!

The latest is that they don't know when they'll get it back and she's very cranky.
