Dawn, so long as I'm not one of them.

******************************************
Woohoo!

The crazy guy lost handily!

 

[Muffinygood]

Yay! Crazy Guy LOSES!!!!

Dawn: Don't you dare unfriend me. I'll come down there.

Oh, yes I will.


LOL

[jcc0621]

Janet: Omg, Pea and quid....funny! Sorry you have to go to Mexican drug school. Be careful!

It should be an interesting class! Glad I could give you a laugh

Uh, my FB thing has now encouraged me to do a little spring cleaning of a personal nature. My friend numbers are dropping like flies...

Are you getting rid of me

Woohoo!

The crazy guy lost handily!

 

[englishrose47]

Niht All I amturning in for the night !!ot a long day tomorow working 2 jobs and a total of about 17 hours or more !!! Yawn !!!!!!!!

 

[CelticBelle]

Janet: Omg, Pea and quid....funny! Sorry you have to go to Mexican drug school. Be careful!

It's pouring down rain outside. April showers bring May flowers though, so no gloomy whining.

about the mexican drugs
& of course...drip drip drop little april showers....My cat loves watching that movie!

Uh, my FB thing has now encouraged me to do a little spring cleaning of a personal nature. My friend numbers are dropping like flies...

I did that a few days ago. I took off everyone who i didnt recognize right away, or i hadnt talked to in a year. But if you friended me I'd never unfriend you...

 

[Hedy]

Uh, my FB thing has now encouraged me to do a little spring cleaning of a personal nature. My friend numbers are dropping like flies...

My alma mater's network had a group entitled "I perturbed* someone so much, the defriended me."

I read everyone's comments but I can't focus enough to respond. My appt. went well. The pressure is up to 19, which Dr. Seigle is NOT thrilled about, but he said to come back in 2 months. We'll talk about more surgery then. Not my favorite answer, but at least I get 2 months.

However, the drive home ended up being a really bad time. It was raining hard for one. Then Bob calls and tells me that he was informed by the VP of his company that they are all taking 20% pay cuts effective immediately. That's a HUGE amount of money for us. Like most, we live almost up to our limit. I'm so frustrated and scared right now. I know I shouldn't complain, as most people I know who work in the auto industry don't have a job AT ALL.

It's just so stressful to try to work out how to live on 3/4 of our monthly budget. I worry about what that means we'll have to cut. I mean, if that amount is almost a house payment, do you stop paying that? LOL NO!!! But, you have to add up the little, NOT necessary-but oh so nice extras, that you have (like Dish, Cell, Broadband, Movies/dinner out, DVC, gym membership etc) to even come CLOSE to that amount! So frustrating!!!!

And worse, I might have to get a job.

MEL
I'm aware that I sound like a spoilt, selfish brat. Sorry.

*Not the actual term, but you know what I mean.

 

[TEminnie]

One thing about Facebook.......you remember just WHY you haven't tried to contact them in over 20 years!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Nope. I'm not defriending anyone here! I'm being defriended. I'm about to defriend that whole family. I just want to give her 24 hours to respond to my e-mail...

I'm off to relax and watch The Biggest Loser.

 

[debraW76]

for Dawn for the Offer!!!

Mo, the "Do not touch" note cracked me up I have only 'known' you since your injury. Do you mind explaining what happened?

to everyone else.

goats story made me think of the spinoff off snakes on a plane called "Goats on a boat" I think I saw it on SNL.

#############################################

Well ladies I need help. I did the dumbest thing today. I went to my sister's house after work to drop Chi off to stay the night and that is when it happened.



I held her new grandson and now I want another baby!!

I feel so stupid. I knew I shouldn't have. I am so busy right now i couldn't imagine taking care of another baby, yet when I held him I cried because I miss the new baby smell . I miss their cooing, gurgling, and wiggling I miss the way they snuggle up to you I even miss being pregnant!!

I told zeta and he thinks i am nuts. I'm pathetic. I need help.

 

[cmp1111]

Yay! Crazy Guy LOSES!!!!

Thanks for the support, guys!

I'm off to relax and watch The Biggest Loser.

Wishing you good relaxation and a great offer in the morning!

 

[cmp1111]

I told zeta and he thinks i am nuts. I'm pathetic. I need help.

Sorry, dude. I just found out today that my tennis partner from today is pregnant. She has a DS9 and a DD6. I keep thinking I don't want to start over now, but SHE is...

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

This is so totally DD5! She's driving me crazy! Every time we go to the store she expects me to buy her something!! My mom sent both girls $10 for Easter and she was mad at me today because everything she wanted costs more than $10. I told her that if she helped me clean around the house, she could earn more money to buy whatever she wanted. I'm not buying toys for no reason anymore!

BOTH of mine are like that. I can't take them anywhere unless I give them the "We are going into _____ store. We will not be buying any toys, games, candy, etc. Do you understand??"

I bought some Zyrtec but she says it tastes worse than the generic Claritin. So, I don't know what I'm going to do about her.

I was cheap and bought the Target brand... it tastes like grape.

Home from work. Tomorrow I am in training all day. It should be interesting it's being given by the feds and it is called Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations.

Man, they're always blaming the brown man :smoking:

You're not being mean. I feel the same way, and I have the big freakin' twin birthday coming up in 13 days. I have nowhere to put more carp.

Oh man... that's right... double whammy!

I can work, I used to work, I just don't WANNA work. Rofl.

Neither do I.

I love gummy bears. And the nanner.

Do not get points...do not get points....

Uh, my FB thing has now encouraged me to do a little spring cleaning of a personal nature. My friend numbers are dropping like flies...

Uh oh! Don't unfriend me, we love looking at your house on AC.

I held her new grandson and now I want another baby!!

I feel so stupid. I knew I shouldn't have. I am so busy right now i couldn't imagine taking care of another baby, yet when I held him I cried because I miss the new baby smell . I miss their cooing, gurgling, and wiggling I miss the way they snuggle up to you I even miss being pregnant!!

I feel your pain. I love, love, love being pregnant. I'm a good mothership.

They need to invent "NEW BABY" air fresheners for people like us.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

I have been really busy last night and today. After Tball practice and Cheernastics I cleaned out mama's RV (or caravan ) so we can use it later this week. My DH was so excited about his new job today. I am excited about the paycheck but kinda sad that he wont be around as much now. He will leave in the mornings before the kids wake up and wont be back until after tball/karate/cheernastics/cubscouts so I will be doing a lot alone again. The baby woke up and cried because he wasn't there. But then I reminded them all they were going to camp Mimi's today and all was well. Today they went to the children's museum.

You sound like one busy mama! Glad your DH was excited about work!

Not much going on.

Just deciding what to do this week for my birthday.

Tomorrow for sure gonna go out with some friends and maybe Thursday too.
Friday is my birthday and I've decided not to go to Disney and just go out to dinner with friends and family.

I know. But seeing as my AP is blocked that day and I do get in for free because of my birthday I don't really see the incentive, because the next day I can go for free too since the AP is unblocked. So that's what I'm planning. My brother's girlfriend's bday is Sunday so we're all (including my mom) gonna go to Disney Sat & Sun. Plus all the hotel rates go down in price the 18th.

Sounds like a great plan and what a fun way to celebrate your birthday weekend!

I read everyone's comments but I can't focus enough to respond. My appt. went well. The pressure is up to 19, which Dr. Seigle is NOT thrilled about, but he said to come back in 2 months. We'll talk about more surgery then. Not my favorite answer, but at least I get 2 months.

I'm aware that I sound like a spoilt, selfish brat. Sorry.

You do not sound like a brat. I think if anyone were in your shoes they would feel the same way. Heck I know I do at times. I know I'm very fortunate to be a single SAHM right now but I know my time is coming.

Hi everyone!

I've been sick for the past 2 days. yuk! Its basically just the yukkies. When i stand or move around i get nauseous, but aside from that ive just been very fatigued. I hate missing classes, not im gonna have to play catch up!

Hope your feeling better and sorry you were kicked out of the house. That sounds like no fun.

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say thanks for all teh warm thoughts, kind words and excellent suggestions. I've been really, really down all day, but it'll pass. At this point, I think we just have to limp through the last few weeks of school and get to summer. As for next year, I'm looking into Charter and Fundamental school options, as well as contacting the school he'll be zoned for. Sadly no, we can't request teachers in any way; everything's selected randomly by computer. Most effective.

He did have a better day today, though. He had music class, which he loves, and they had a guest musician come in to teach them about African drum music. Leo decided that he wants to be an "African man" when he grows up.

That is just crazy about the teacher thing. to Leo wanting to be and "African man."

I'm home sick today, vomiting, the whole nine yards. I've been working on taxes (which still aren't done), cleaning (my parents are coming from out of town) and laundry (which never, ever ends).

DD, DH and I were sick all weekend, but DD made it to daycare today and DH to work, so it's just me and my 2 feline friends, Licorice and Rumpelstiltskin. I'm enjoying the quiet today, despite my coughing and other issues.

Hope your feeling better soon.

just checking in quickly before heading back to work.

Hi Rachel!

Breaking news............3 goats have been spotted in the new barn............Noodles, Tumnus, and Tragos by the look of them...........stay tuned for further developments...........

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Guess who has an offer being sent over tonight?

Well I'm back from the Dr...

Remember on Sunday in my attempt to get a shoe I took off some layers of bandages. STUPID!!!!!

I thought it was to keep the stitches clean well it was , but it was also to help with the swelling, something about compression??

So my foot is so swollen he left the stitches in (which makes showering a pain since I can't get them wet, I wrap my foot in saran wrap to start with.)

He did however say I can drive with the special shoe as my foot is strong enough for that.

SO I go back Monday and hopefully will get them out then.

So he is re-wrapping the foot and I can't really see as he puts a screen up ( I don't like to look). I can tell he is doing extra wrapping so I ask if he is super glueing it on. No, but he put a big piece of surgical tape on top with a note DO NOT TOUCH. Smart a$$.

So how many of you watched the Housewives of NJ intro show.

My mother knows the mother of the husbands who own the catering business, the Brownstone. The mother (was widowed when the kids were young, husband was mob and found in the trunk of a car) married a good friend of my parents, his first wife and him even hosted anniversary dinners for my parents at their house. The mother married into a family very different family then her own, complete opposite (one of her step kids is a priest). I wonder if the mother and step father will be on the show. I have to ask Murph to ask them.

To show you all what a small world, the mother lives in the town I grew up in and lives very close to T2.

To the doc! Keep it on this time but so glad your doing better! That's really cool about the Housewives of NJ. I watched the preview last week for it and yeah they remind me of Jersey girls (sorry ).

WHat kind of meds is he on, Lori? I need to find Evan something - his allergies are horrid this month. I used to use Claratin, but it sucks. I'm trying Zyrtak (sp?) now, but it doesn't seem to very affective.

I just do good ole Benadryl with him. We tried the Claratin and didn't like it. My mom did the whole Claratin and Singular (I think Jodi said this) and it seemed to work really well for her.

Well, I'm headed to do homework with DD7 and then get the girls ready for bed. Gotta watch Loser tonight (and probably eat Easter candy while watching them workout!). Then I'll probably catch Idol on DVR. Eric's got class until 10pm and I'll probably be asleep before he gets home! I'm feeling a bit better, but still tired and sneezy!

Have a good night everyone!

Glad your feeling a little better.

Home from work. Tomorrow I am in training all day. It should be interesting it's being given by the feds and it is called Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations. THe only bad part is I will not be a computer all day

Mine and Jimmy's new crocs came today Mine are really comfy and Jimmy loves his Scooby Doo one's

Not much else going on. Check back later

Class sounds like it will be interesting. Yay to the new Crocs!

:Well ladies I need help. I did the dumbest thing today. I went to my sister's house after work to drop Chi off to stay the night and that is when it happened.

No you don't sound nuts at all. Almost all my friends are just now starting their families and sometimes I wish I could be saying the same thing about myself. But I think CE is right...I'm kind of glad I'm out of the baby stages and don't even want to think about starting over. I'll be more than happy to babysit ofr my friends and their babies but I can at least give them back.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

They need to invent "NEW BABY" air fresheners for people like us.

Now that I would buy.

 

[lazydoxy66]

You all did pretty good without me. Seems to be a theme in my life right now. My brother hasn't called. My soon to be ex-SIL called but has been too busy to visit with me. HUMF. Nobody needs me! OK that isn't exactly true, Rocky needs me for planning this next trip, see way below.

to LisaM!!!
I'm the official pep person and updater. I've been MIA and lax with my duties this last couple of days. It happens. Usually you can look for my updates once a day. The updates help if you don't have a lot of time. I have been known to stretch the truth a bit.
I'm Hoosier born and raised. No kids. Just a DH, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a turtle. I live in the country north-west of Indianapolis.
I'm returning to WDW this fall with my BFF, Rockie. It is during the F&W Fest. We can't wait. Just us girls. There is a meet planned by some of the Fockers for this fall. I'll miss it by a week.
I met a few DISers at a planned meet last fall. I actually had 3 people ask me if I was on DIS when they saw my LGMH from Home Depot hanging from my Baggallini. Very cool. Unfortunately no Fockers yet. I might be able to meet Jo, out British rep this year.
Whew!

TE posted a pic of her DD, #2485, pg. 166. She is gorgeous.Her goats have been causing security problems. They don't like the new shed.

MO couldn't fit her foot in her glass slipper yet so Murph drove her to work. She had to have it re-wrapped for the swelling. I think her doc was a bit peeved. I hope you are doing better and have more energy soon. Cool about Murph having the NJ connection.

KAT had been waiting on a lot of people and dealing with some punks. I'm excluding KC in that last comment. She had to deal with cable people. EEEWWWW! But all went well. She is trying to get the apartment back in 1 piece. Bale is doing well.

CE's friend should be home. She had pneumonia. CE was at the gym all day then went to make sure that the town stays in good hands with a bote for a sane person.

JANET has pictures of Jimmy, Pg. 168, #2506. He is such a cutie. She's been crazy busy at work. They got their Crocs today.

MrsKS had a good time with Bill's parents at Easter.She has a problem with the van door. It's the side with the lift for Bill. I hope it can be fixed and not too expensive.

V said Leo was a little puny when he got back from his dad's. He wanted to go hunt for eggs at church though. She had another frustrating note from his teacher too.

DEB had a bad morning the other day that ended well. I am glad your DH has got some work!!!

LORI has been busy with attitude from certain muchkins in her home. She is also sick of ham. How 'bout a hard boiled egg or 2? A lot of us have plenty we can send your way! They have custom paint jobs.

SHARKY, I told my DH about the signs/stickers of memorial you've been seeing on the cars. I also told him to just mount my urn on the front of the camo Chevy truck as a hood ornament and I'd be happy!

Hi MrsTK!!!!

Z is going to celebrate her B-day, Friday with friends. Then she is going to WDW on Sat and Sun.

DAWN I think you need to ask the wine expert if he would like some cheese to go with the other whine. So juvy!

JO made the girls clean up the other day. UH-OH, David is home for a few days. Me thinks me hears a trampoline.

JODI is having sinus pain. DD5 was bored the other day Jodi bribed her with cash for cleaning. Then she took her to Dollar Tree. Did you say you eat candy while watching the Big L? That's like my DH smoking when he would join me on a walk. (He quit 8 years ago.)

BOYS5150 is back from WDW. They did OK. She said it was crowded and cold.

ANGIE survived the storm the other day. Is she surviving the crowds???

CEL BEL was feeling icky. Her roomies are conspiring to drive her crazy. Pizza stink and loud music - YAY!, not! I'd have to hurt someone!

T is finding out she has a little T in the house. When Maddie has her mind made up, that is that, MOM!. She wanted a game and was fishing for coinage in the couch. I wish you had pictures! I've got tears in my eyes, seriously!

Hi Rosie!

Oh where oh where has our Katt gone, oh where, oh where can she be??

Hi Lessa!

Where's Tig?

And hi and good health to all!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I spent close to $400 today. All on the computer.

Southwest Airlines released their schedules for Sept. finally. It was the cheapest by about $100. I spent an hour doing price comparing. The flight times on a lot of airlines blow. I actually didn't like the return time for SW. However, nonstop there and back was a big seller. Even the discount sites couldn't beat the price - $132.20 per person all fees included. No baggage charge for first checked bag too.

I wanted to run it by Rockie before I bought the tix. I thought we could actually get a later flight back to Indy on another airline if she wanted to spend more time at DTD or resorts on our last day. She said it wasn't worth the lay over time or the money. I agreed.

We leave Indy on Sept. 27th at 11:30AM, arrive in MCO at 1:50PM. We leave MCO at 9:30 AM (ME at 7:30 sux) and get in Indy at noon.

Then I bought our King's Island tix. She is paying me back for her and her DH's tix. I'm buying the girls theirs for their b-days. I also went ahead and bought a parking pass. Printed them all up lickity split - so cool this technology stuff.

I'm spent. BTW the weather is lousy here. I declared a PJ day yesterday and didn't do anything but laundry. Now that I go back to work tomorrow night, things are supposed to get nice. This weekend, when I'm off, it is supposed to rain some more. Yay for me! I'm glad I got the back yard mowed on Sunday. We'd be losing the dogs in the tall grass by this next weekend.

I've rattled on long enough. Chat at you tomorrow night.
Have a good day.

It's about time to break out the grill.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

LORI has been busy with attitude from certain muchkins in her home. She is also sick of ham. How 'bout a hard boiled egg or 2? A lot of us have plenty we can send your way! They have custom paint jobs.

No, please do not send any eggs our way. My kids are already making a mess with them by sneaking into the fridge to grab one.

Yay for getting your tickets for both you trip and Kings Island.

Yay for PJ day and getting things done around the house!

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

I gotta take Linds to school in a few and DR is awake. He did another night in big boy underwear and no accidents. YAY! DR has school this afternoon and afterwards we have to head to church and volunteer for a kids project that Linds wants to go to. Should be fun!

Other than that laundry is on my to do list along with vaccuming and mopping the kitchen floor.

Hope y'all have a happy Wednesday!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Am I actually the first one this morning?

BTW...Kristal great update!

 

[askelton]

I think you all need babies!

 

[debraW76]

I think you all need babies!

you are not helping!!

good morning everyone!! We ran into a lot of problems with the RV so we are postponing our little camping escapade until next weekend. We made all the boys cry when we told them

Zeta still thinks I am nuts over the whole baby thing.

Today is my friday because I am off tomorrow and Friday

Kristel thanks for the update! We will always need you!!!
