Waldo had surgery yesterday - everything went great, he's home and resting. Not a very patient patient, though. He's driving us nuts. No shower until tomorrow means no shower until tomorrow. No going up and down stairs means no going up and down stairs. Bed rest for 72 hours, means just THAT!

I hope his recovery is fast and easy. Give him a hug from me.

Today is TE's birthday. We've postponed any celebrating until Sunday when hopefully, Waldo's feeling better.

Oooh! Wish her a happy one from NH, as well!

Hey darlin's.

The job I interviewed for is in San Antonio with the school system. They offered me a sizable bonus if I came now and didn't wait until next school year.

I haven't accepted the position yet. I need to go down and visit and do some investigating.

Love and miss y'all.

Gotcha. I like San Antonio, from my few visits. I'm sure you'll make a good informed decision.

Hi everyone
Its been a long time(seems like I say that alot lately)
All is great just really busy with the kids and volunteering at school,parties,projects,homework,sports etc. It seems we have something to to everyday after school and on the days we dont I have a house FULL of boys to keep my eyes on.

Hi, T2! Glad you are doing well, and I can't believe those flight prices!

Just wanted to make sure my fellow Fockers are in the know...

Huh, hadn't even heard of that...

Hi Mel, Dawn, CE & V!

Hi, Lori!

Played golf today because the sun was out and I couldn't miss out and so far my eyes have been fine

I'm glad they have been good!

Afternoon all !!

Hi, Rosie!

********************************************************
Well, I spent the afternoon doing our taxes. I think we even have the scary Mass state ones worked out (but need a letter on company letterhead before filing.)

Our Fed refund was lower than last year, but the MA refund is bigger, and all in all it's a rather large amount. Woohoo!!!

SO glad that's done.

D found a great ski ticket price for tomorrow, and I think he and Woody are going to do night skiing tonight, too. Buzz doesn't want to go tonight, so he and I will have pizza and movie night.

I have to help them get ready, but I'll be back!

 

[KatGarcia]

I think I'm back in action, Fockers. How's it going? I was able to catch a few tidbits:

Sorry about your goat TE. I'm glad you stopped by to say 'Hi!'

Kat's KC has been working a lot. She's been bored. Friday she is going to see 'Watchmen'. I'm going to see it Saturday. I won't be seeing Marie's wrestler friend on Sunday. She called him earlier this week and he was extremely drunk. She said 'No thanks!'

Rachel wants to move again!- to Florida!- in a couple of years if all goes well. Right now she can't make up her mind where to stay on vacation down there. Should be fun to watch her pick out where to live one day. (Mums the word on FB)

Dawn needs some big stress relieving hugs. She is still not sure how the whole 'employer buying the house thing' is going to work out.

V attempted to get a play date for Leo set up. The other family is very busy. Sounds like a brush-off to me. A new job requirement may drive her to drink.

Z got her taxes filed. Did you get any Disney money back?

CE is the Amazon.com queen. She has picture perfect eyebrows for tennis now.

Jo gave some excellent advice about FB. Her eyeballs got fuzzy during golf and she lost. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I hope you find something to help.

Lori's been playing domestic goddess. Linds has an ear infection and the Ex isn't paying the doctor bills like he is supposed to. She got all the invitations for DR's B-day done. Did you send 1 to the Ex? I'd send one with a doctor bill attached.

Mo brought work home again. Hi MO!

PaMom001 just found us! 'Hi' stranger!!!

Rosie actually gets paid to learn how to drive defensively. I'd like to get paid to drive for the offense. She says Steph is better.

Dreamn We have another educated Focker!!! Congrats on your 1st degree!!! Your Chicago B-day plans sound wonderful - have a great time.

Happy Birthday!​

Janet is reviewing and reorganizing a ton of people.

Mel treaded for 2 miles then did laundry.

G-Luv is torturing us with cliff hangers! Something about a job offer.

Hedy popped in again!! 'Hi!'

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks for caring, guys. I felt rotten. I'm over the worst of it. I'm still a bit achy in my back but no more 15 minute toilet visits. I went back to work tonight.

Well I'd like to think I'm a fair person. I tried, after 2 weeks of not hearing from the roofing co., to contact the rep. The phone rang and rang. Then an answering service picked up and redirected me to another line that rang and rang. Must not need the business.

So we called the other roofing co. This is the guy that knows/related to my DH. We told him we wanted windows too. Got everything figured and written up. For the roof repair and the windows I am paying under $6000. That is half of what I've seen from others. I have 12 windows. Only 5 are the same size.

He will get the roof done next week. As soon as the windows get in he will call me.

I go to get our taxes prepped on Monday. I know I will owe the state. I'm hoping I won't owe the Feds.

What's everbody going to be up to this weekend?

Thanks for the update, I skimmed till I found it! Too bad about the wrestler guy, in my experience most of them are D-bags anyways lol. Glad you are feeling better!

Hey guys!

Been a long week....

Waldo had surgery yesterday - everything went great, he's home and resting. Not a very patient patient, though. He's driving us nuts. No shower until tomorrow means no shower until tomorrow. No going up and down stairs means no going up and down stairs. Bed rest for 72 hours, means just THAT!

Today is TE's birthday. We've postponed any celebrating until Sunday when hopefully, Waldo's feeling better.

Been working on our August plans, though. Trying to find somewhere to eat on our AK day. I've read pretty bad review on Tusker House for dinner and the breakfast was OK, not really wanting to return. Thought about Boma, but BTDT, trying to find something different, but the pickin's are slim. Any suggestions?

Hope everyone is doing well - all around! Miss you guys!!

Kat: I need you to come and cut down a tree on AC - you'll reap great benefits. Whatever that means! Let me know when you'll be playing.

Happy Birthday to TE! And HUGS to Waldo! I should eb playing today for a little while, between 3:30-4:30 my time, but tomorrow between noon and 4 my time! I'll check for you and see if the gates open!

And I got me a little package today in the mail..... with some yummy cookies in it!!!! I decided since KC never had them before I'd take pics for you....

He loved 'em! And I LOVED the card from Maddie!! SO cute! Hug her for me!

******************
Well Watchmen was pretty good. KC loved it to death, said it was exactly like the comic. It was kinda long if you ask me. We got home at like 5am. We were up at 11:30, so I am TIRED. KC's uncle came with us and crashed here last night and is staying again tonight since he's working in the city tomorrow morning (he lives in NJ and its a longer commute). BUT KC is going to see AVE Q tonight, so it's me and his uncle. Kinda weird but I'm hoping watching some movies will kill the time till KC gets home.

Really i just wanna nap and not wake up till tomorrow but thats not gonna happen. I threw in some orange maple chicken and veggies in the crock so I don't have to cook.

SO i'll prob pop in from time to time. Hope everyone's having a good Friday!

 

[DisneyJo]

CE congrats on the big refund and Kat your cookies look yummy and 5am wow


I never told you all about the stupid thing I did at golf on Wednesday when I was playing in a match against other people. I was on the putting green and my putter has a little ledge on the back of it which allows me to kinda flick the ball in the air to catch so I don't have to bend down. I do it all the time, well this time I wasn't concentrating looking to see if there was a pitchmark (hole made by the ball landing) to repair and as I flicked the ball up I didn't catch it and it hit me right in the middle of my forehead I pretended I was OK as I didn't want to look even more daft but OMG it hurt

OMG Jo! That made me LAUGH! Sorry, that's mean, but I could just picture you doing it. LOL.
Hope you didn't get a pitchmark on your forehead!

I'll help you any way I can, Jen. Kirt's whole family lives there and we're just 15 minutes north of there. Hey! Wanna buy a house?
When we moved, I didn't want to go into San Antonio, so we ended up here. There's another nice little area near here too. What area/district is it?

sounds like a great opportunity. anyone you know live in san antonio?

Um... hello?
Moi!

 

[jcc0621]

I'm starting to feel like Jen...sneaking in to say hi and then sneaking out again. Still reviewing cases Moving filing cabinets

T - for Waldo

T2 - You should drive down to Philly I got $59 each way per person with AirTran.

V - rope drop for summer camp

Dawn - Sounds like a busy but nice weekend

Mel - I forgot what I was going to say, so HI!

CE - Congrats on the refund!

Kristel - Glad you are feeling better

Jo - at the "golf incident"

Hi Z, Rachel, Kat, Lori

Sorry to anyone I missed. My frain is bried

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Our Fed refund was lower than last year, but the MA refund is bigger, and all in all it's a rather large amount. Woohoo!!!

Hmmm.... sounds like a Disney trip needs to be planned.

Oops... looks like I missed you today, but I'll probably catch you tomorrow - I'll be on around 9am my time. I'll open my gate as soon as I get on.

And I got me a little package today in the mail..... with some yummy cookies in it!!!! I decided since KC never had them before I'd take pics for you....

He loved 'em! And I LOVED the card from Maddie!! SO cute! Hug her for me!

Whoa! That was fast - I only dropped it off on Tuesday! I showed Maddie the pics - she said "I know he is eating a Tagalong cookie! Look he likes it!"

No wonder we get along so well. This sounds just like something I would do, then tell people about it, too. I'm sorry.

I whacked myself in the shin with my tennis racket on a follow-through Tuesday, and left a huge bruise, if that makes you feel any better...

CE - Congrats on the refund!

Thanks! Do you have plans for the weekend?

Hmmm.... sounds like a Disney trip needs to be planned.

I know! I think D's eyeing used boats, though. But we'll see. We want to do our downstairs bathroom (D will do most of the work, so it's not horrible) and a couple of other things. We can't come at the end of August with Janet, as D's brother's wedding is the 22nd, but maybe before then. I couldn't help but price it out, and with the 4/3 deal, a week is cheaper than our normal 5 day trips have been.

Hey guys!

Went out shopping today and dropped $350! I got 8 shirts, a dress, 3 bras and Clinique moisturizing lotion. I guess that is not too bad but now I am having buyers remorse. Why did I have to grow up and start caring about being responsible with my money?

You got a lot, it's OK. I dropped $235 on groceries, which is sad. Mine will be consumed - at least most of yours won't disappear!

[jcc0621]

Hey there, sneaky!

Hi T

Sorry but the visual of this just makes me

Thanks! Do you have plans for the weekend?

Jimmy has an eye doctor appointment tomorrow morning and then we are watching his friend Matt while his mom and sister go to a Brownie thing. Sunday is supposed to be 66 degrees and sunny so we may go to the zoo!

It stinks growing up doesn't it! Maybe Peter Pan had it right after all

=========================================================

Hey all. Jim and Jimmy are playing super heroes so I thought I'd pop in and say hi to my favorite Fockers! Hope you are all having a good night!

 

[jcc0621]

And so she doesn't think I forgot

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARGIE

 

[cmp1111]

That's OK - it was meant to amuse.

Nice! We are apparently skiing in the 50 degree weather. The snow may stink, but we won't be freezing!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm a happy girl. Kirt's day was hectic, but the builders all were really happy about Kirt taking over and commended his boss on making that choice. I'm so proud of him. He's so amazing.
The boss also said if our house doesn't move forward even though we haven't sold the house, he willk personally call in favors witht he builder and make it happen.

We're still hoping to have the house ready to list on Monday or Tuesday. It'll be a busy weekend, but I'm going to try and help/take it easy at the same time because I'm feeling a little under the weather. I bought some Mucinex to clean the junk out of my chest. I need to take some tylenol so my brain won't hit the front of my skull every time I cough!
