HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSIE!!!!​

*********************
Morning!

Kat and Jo...feel better!

And V, you're on my mind today

Angela....you leave tomorrow, right? Have a great trip!

So the utility guy came yesterday and now to go with my bright pink hoopty string, I've got neon orange and red lawn paint showing where all the cables are in the lawn. I'm telling you, I should get lawn of the month

Not much going on here today. #1 has book club this afternoon, but I'll be around this morning.

 

[kykatt2]

Katt used to spread her lovin' around in the 1st grade. Cornered a poor little guy once. She is feeling a lot better. They are going to see Jack Hanna at BG on March 22nd. Sounds fun! How did SB do at the allergist?

Well.. we are trying something a bit different with the allergies. I do not quite understand it all yet. We will be retesting her allergies in May or June.
And as far as me and my shall we say "Forward" approach to the fellows in 1st grade.. If figured you only live once...

Me and Rockie at Kings Island.

So when's the last time you went there ??? Last time I went was in 2002 with my then very much babies... the "Beastie" was the BIG RIDE for them then Somewhere I have 1 photograph of me and some girls from college. I love Kings Island. It's water park is better than Kings Dominion here in Va and Carowinds in the Carolina's.
( The reason I say Carolinia's... Carowinds is in BOTH North and South Carolina... they have a marker at the entrance and it used to be marked throughout the park which state you are in .Not sure if it still is or not

anyone else awake yet?

NOPE... I'm still asleep...hitting that snooze again

 

[PrincessV]

Last night was a BAD night, no sleep, lots of pain. I am really ready for this tog et better. I plan to soak in a hot bath today, for a few hours lol. I can't do another night like last.

Poor Kat! Hope things improve for you today.

I also don't like Airplane, which sends Bob into FITS. Sorry!

Commie!

Yeah, no kidding. I got .25 cents! My kids get $2 each tooth. That's plenty in my book....

Well, in my defense, Leo gets no spending money and works hard for and saves his $2 allowance, so I thought the tooth fairy should do something beyond the norm.

BTW, V, any news on you visiting before I blow town on the 28th???????

Nope, I have to play it by ear. I'm trying to get my friend "Char" to make a day trip with me on 3/28, but neither of us can plan ahead much right now. I'll keep you posted - can you PM or email your cell number?

I'm taking Max (our Sheltie) to the vet for the ultrasound of his liver. I'm a bit worried about what we will learn, but I figure it's time to find out, right?

Good luck Jodi.

V says Leo thinks that the Tooth Fairy should be more like Santa. Did you explain to him that a toy would make his pillow lumpy?

No, we can't even put the money under his pillow... he's in a loft bed and would wake up if I climbed up there! The tooth fairy left his money on the dining room table, instead.

And V, you're on my mind today

Thank you sweet friend!

So the utility guy came yesterday and now to go with my bright pink hoopty string, I've got neon orange and red lawn paint showing where all the cables are in the lawn. I'm telling you, I should get lawn of the month

We need pics!

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

Well, it's time. The Budget has left the building.....






and we still know NOTHING!!! Apparently, it's being turned in this morning with no input and no advanced warning to our staff. Niiiice. We may or may not find out what's in it this afternoon.

Anyone care to guess how likely we all are to be working our best and hardest today?!


Interestingly, the stress of wondering if I'll still have a job come Oct. is making me want to book a WDW ressie. I need a hotel for the first 3 nights of our summer stay and have not been able to pick one for weeks! No joke, I've made a "final" decision about 5 times at this point. By the time I get back to a computer to book, I've gone all wishy-washy again. Good grief!

 

[PrincessV]

Happy Birthday Rosie!!!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Morning Everyone!

Well I've been keeping up here, but just never had time to post.

Kat: I hope you feel well enough to walk on Saturday.

V: You're in my thoughts today

Kristel: loving the flashback photos.

Angela: Have a fabulous cruise!

Rosie:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!​

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

So Puerto Rico has been fun and relaxing. Haven't done much but hang out with my dad and brothers. Exciting huh?

Don't know what's going on this weekend. Hopefully I'll get to go somewhere.

Sorry to leave ya'll hanging on the re-scheduling of the trip, I thought I would be on here sooner....

So Yani and I decided we can do a day and a half of Disney. So her bday trip is back on!!!!
We'll be arriving the 26th and doing half a day on the 27th. We'll be missing some people, but make it to at least 1 of the meets and puffy french toast for breakfast.

TTYL guys!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Happy Birthday Rosie ​

D just pulled in the garage - much earlier than I thought he'd be here. Thank goodness I've already kicked Juan, the pool boy, out. (Just our little joke, D is always confusing me with his "other wife" too...)

I say that to David when he comes home early too excpet mine is just my fancy man, we don't have a pool

Last night was a BAD night, no sleep, lots of pain. I am really ready for this tog et better. I plan to soak in a hot bath today, for a few hours lol. I can't do another night like last.

Oh Kat, I hope you can get to a Dr after your hearing

I will email you mine.....

And so you didn't do much yesterday then

if anyone is friends with her on FB and you get an email about her account being disabled, don't click on it. It is probably a virus.

She asked me to be her friend but I ignored her, I get requests just because of the Mom's Panel but if I don't know them from elsewhere I ignore

I'm taking Max (our Sheltie) to the vet for the ultrasound of his liver.

Hope it all goes well

Jo still has a sore throat. She simply can't be bothered with the trivial matters of domesticity when her computer public needs her. Wants us to share our WDW tips.

And have a great trip!!!

Hi,
Don't want to post much here as I am not a Focker.

Don't be daft Scott anyone can be a Focker

anyone else awake yet?

Yep

and hey jo -- do the british not like doctors or what??? seriously, hope you feel better. LY/MI

We are terrible, well most of us, and it's free here too I'm feeling much better today thanks!

So the utility guy came yesterday and now to go with my bright pink hoopty string, I've got neon orange and red lawn paint showing where all the cables are in the lawn. I'm telling you, I should get lawn of the month

Sounds good

and we still know NOTHING!!! Apparently, it's being turned in this morning with no input and no advanced warning to our staff. Niiiice. We may or may not find out what's in it this afternoon.

Thinking of you V

So Puerto Rico has been fun and relaxing. Haven't done much but hang out with my dad and brothers. Exciting huh?

Sounds nice and woohoo on the trip!




Well I've cleaned all the bath rooms and the kitchen, made a ginger cake that my Mum makes and it tastes good especially for my first go. Answered questions, tidied up, spoke with my Dad, used my airmiles to book my September trip And other bits and bobs. Just need to hoover downstairs and I'm done, oh and have lunch

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Yeah, Z! So you'll still be at the Epcot meet?
I know Mel was wondering about the puffy french toast thing. She'll be happy to know it's back on.

I'm not awake enough to chat. I have to get dressed and tidy all the rooms before I feel like I can chill on the 'puter. I'll be back.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Happy Birthday, Rosie! ​

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

No, we can't even put the money under his pillow... he's in a loft bed and would wake up if I climbed up there! The tooth fairy left his money on the dining room table, instead.

The tooth fairy forgot once at my house. She didn't remember until morning...and left it in the fridge!

 

[englishrose47]

Thanks for the Birthday wishes !!! I am officially an Ol' Lady today!!!Long way from retiring though!!!!

 

[englishrose47]

if anyone is friends with her on FB and you get an email about her account being disabled, don't click on it. It is probably a virus.

I am and I noticed she asn't on my friends list lst night ! What's going on???

Kat

I need me a POOL guy!!!!

Kristelwhere are you??????

 

[Muffinygood]

Some things I forgot:

Jodi: Hope the puppy's tests go well.

Kat: Sorry about your back. I hope that you are feeling better now.

V: The budget thing has to be SO stressful! I'm sorry! I will send you a FB message with my cell. I hope we get to meet up before I leave town on the 28th!

Dawn: YAY!!!! Z's coming back!!!!

Z: YAY!!!! You're coming back!!! I am SO geeked! Did you keep the ressie for the puffy french toast? Did you keep me on it?

*************
Work was good. I'm so tired now though. Helping 120 kids pick out books is exhausting! Whew!
Gotta throw some laundry in and then pop out to get bread. (I forgot it yesterday even though I went to two different stores! Duh!)

MEL

 

[cmp1111]

Hi,
Don't want to post much here as I am not a Focker.

Back to my world.

Don't be silly. Of course you are!

Today I'm doing all those little things that need to get done before I go on vacation.

Woohoo!!!

So my Focker Friends don't worry, I'm posting before I go work at the library!

OK, thanks! Have fun!

So the utility guy came yesterday and now to go with my bright pink hoopty string, I've got neon orange and red lawn paint showing where all the cables are in the lawn. I'm telling you, I should get lawn of the month

Awesome!

and we still know NOTHING!!! Apparently, it's being turned in this morning with no input and no advanced warning to our staff. Niiiice. We may or may not find out what's in it this afternoon.

Anyone care to guess how likely we all are to be working our best and hardest today?!

I hope you have as good of a day as you can.

So Yani and I decided we can do a day and a half of Disney. So her bday trip is back on!!!!
We'll be arriving the 26th and doing half a day on the 27th. We'll be missing some people, but make it to at least 1 of the meets and puffy french toast for breakfast.

Good for you! Glad you're having fun.

I say that to David when he comes home early too excpet mine is just my fancy man, we don't have a pool

Oh, we don't have one either.

Well I've cleaned all the bath rooms and the kitchen, made a ginger cake that my Mum makes and it tastes good especially for my first go. Answered questions, tidied up, spoke with my Dad, used my airmiles to book my September trip And other bits and bobs. Just need to hoover downstairs and I'm done, oh and have lunch

Wow, good for you! I am proceeding pretty well with my cleaning, but I went to volunteer, so I'm not as far along yet.

The tooth fairy forgot once at my house. She didn't remember until morning...and left it in the fridge!

She forgot at my house once, too - she managed to come sneakily while the kid was in the bathroom - before he could check.

*****************************************************
I feel so badly for Kat, as I have a backache that kept me from sleeping much last night, and I'm moaning about it. I can't imagine if it were chronic. D was kind and got up to get the kids off to school, but I had to get up and volunteer, anyway. I just need to do the floors downstairs and shine the stainless appliances to be pretty well done with prepping for Dr. Belle.

D went off to look at a boat. I expect a call any moment, asking me if he can buy it. He said he wasn't going to buy anything today, but I don't believe him.

OK, off to do a spot of cleaning. I'll be back soon!

 

[cmp1111]

Happy Birthday, Rosie!!!

[ncsjodi]

Hi Guys!

Max and I are back from the vet. I don't know anything yet though. They took him back to do the ultrasound and will call my vet who will then call me with the results. So, I get to wait around all afternoon....

They did have to shave his belly though. You really can't tell when he's up and walking because his fur is so long on the sides that it doesn't show. However, when he lies down you can definitely tell that his entire belly is totally bare. He looks so strange to me!

Anyway, I'm off to do a bit of cleaning and maybe start some laundry. I'll be around most of the day though, since I'm waiting for a phone call....

 

[jcc0621]

Hope everyone is having a good day! :hugs: to all who need them.

Happy Birthday Rosie

 

[kykatt2]

Had a bunch of stuff "QUOTED" but it went POOF

So what did I remember.. Not much.. My mind has also went POOF

Mel... I got tired just reading 'bout your day yesterday... but that explains what happened to you
Dawn was miserable without you here.. and BORED..

Saw a few people needs a hug and a prayer or two.. Some are excited for their very soon Disney Trips.. others are ALREADY SOMEPLACE Enjoying some Down Time... and some others need a Disney escape so here's a a bit of everything

( sending the maid by to help with the house work )

Oh and a BIG Birthday... Wish for Our very own TFW Computer Whiz

​

Rosie!!!

​

Well I don't think Angela is doing a Disney Cruise.. but she is leaving us for deeper water

​

Rainy, sleety, snowy, so I feel just BLEH I'm also Mad as Scott is tearing my Familyroom apart.. and he left for the day so all I can do is stare at it.
At this point I guess I'm not even going to paint as I can not get all my stuff together and even do the wall the TV is going up on.​

Add to that... the Money I THOUGHT I was going to have to take a quick trip to Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater in April has now tanked as a train Scott ordered 2 years ago finally came in yesterday... and Scott will not back out on his deals with train stores no matter how it $$$ hurts us.
Any wonder I have eaten Nacho's and extra Jalapeno's BEFORE 11:00. ​

I am NOT TOO SURE how much this THING Cost... but I have an idea... and it's almost exactly what my quicky beach trip would have cost.
I am ready to cancel Williamsburg for NEXT SUNDAY.. even if the weather is good.
I am trying so hard to cut back on things, and not buying stuff( like I ever bought much in the first place) Cooking at home more.. and THIS IS MY REWARD. I JUST WANT TO CRY..

and throw things... ​

Happy Birthday Ro​

sie!


V~ You're in my thoughts today!


Jo~ Can you jump the pond and come clean my house too? I need to get it all spiffed up before I go. I hate leaving a messy house.


Katt~ Pooo on the train and possible axe on the trip. POOO!



Jodi~ On No about the Puppy! Hope test go well.



Kat~ How is your back doing today?


CE- Lets hope he doesn't come home with a new BABY! What kind is he looking for?


Dawn/Mel/Z- What is Puffy toast? btw... still bummed I am missing you Mel & Z (glad you are able to make it up there)!


JenJen- You need to email me your cell#. Likewise for me!


I am just 3 short days away from going to WDW! Yippe!

Off to take Tink to a playdate at McD's with her friend, while the mom rests (she is sick). The mom watched her yesterday while I taught my last art class at DS's school (abstract pieces... very cool, V!), so I am paying her back by taking her dd out for a while. Try to stop by later. GASP! I haven't packed!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Jodi: I hope everything comes out well for Max

Yeah, Z! So you'll still be at the Epcot meet?

Z: YAY!!!! You're coming back!!! I am SO geeked! Did you keep the ressie for the puffy french toast? Did you keep me on it?

I never cancelled Procrastinating comes in handy sometimes!

Dawn/Mel/Z- What is Puffy toast? btw... still bummed I am missing you Mel & Z (glad you are able to make it up there)!

French Toast at Crystal Palace, dubbed Puffy french toast by Mo. I'm bummed I'll be missing you too, but you're only 3 days away!!!!!!!

[I am trying so hard to cut back on things, and not buying stuff( like I ever bought much in the first place) Cooking at home more.. and THIS IS MY REWARD. I JUST WANT TO CRY..

and throw things... [/LEFT]

Oh sweetie.... have you spoken to Scott about this and how unfair and selfish it is not only to you, but to the family?
