Team Focker Watch Chat - Version 7.0: It Slices, Dices and Rolls Up Socks

[TEminnie]

Oh Mary---that was hysterical about your hubby! You gotta video it next time--it would be super popular on youtube!

Reminds me, have y'all seen the "Charlie" baby on youtube? My girls think it's hysterical! If you haven't, I'll try to find it---I wonder if it's popular in England or if we just think it's cute to hear babies talk British? (that's a language, right??)
That can be my first question to Queen Mum Jo!


Got the decorations up!!! I changed to blue and silver this year and I like it....................well, I liked it more before Ab said "Why are we having a Kentucky Christmas tree???" (Katt will get that I'm sure!)

My sister showed me that Charlie video. We laughed so hard. I think it is titled "Charlie bit me - again."

OMG!!! I'm still on deaths door with a 102 fever, but I had to show you guys this!!! A friend just sent the link to me in an email and it actually made me laugh out loud!

The Doghouse!

Thanks for the pics Angela! I'm glad you got to meet Jo & Jen!

Have a good night everyone. I'll try to catch up more tomorrow.

-Michelle

Thank you so much for that.

And feel better babe!

Thank goodness for wine...

That's all I have to say about that.

Ya' need to talk about it?

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

We just got back from our town's Holiday parade. We had a wonderful time. While there I shopped on Main St. and picked up my Secret Santa and ornament swap gifts. Ummm...does anyone mind if I just keep them?

Anywho...I'm waiting for dinner to finish up. I made red beans and rice.

Troy is over for dinner. He came to the parade with Jon and I.

I got my entire house cleaned today and tomorrow is holiday decorating day!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful day! Love my Fockers!

Loved THE DOGHOUSE!!!!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Ya' need to talk about it?

I'll follow it up with my kids all were in bed shortly after dinner tonight.
Anything more than that would just be complaining about the kids not behaving and me needing some time to myself.

Let me clarify that... time to myself when K doesn't act like my 4th child.

[carrieannie]

Hi everyone!

Jen. How are you feeling? better I hope. I miss seeing you on late nights when I`m on!

Hi Dawn! Whats up?

Angela. Thanks for the great pictures of Jo and Jen and You!!! Everyone was having a great time! And I loved to the decorations!

 

[Goofyluver]

I am feeling soooo much better, thanks for asking!

I miss being on late at night...but this 2nd job has been kicking my booty!

How are you today Ed?

 

[lazydoxy66]

Here's that video from You Tube. It very cute and funny.
Charlie bit me again!

Sounds like every body is doing good! Christmas stuff, little trips, funny videos - loved the 'Doghouse'. I have to send that to Rockie.

I'm trying to figure out my menus for the week we are at the cabin. I want to make sure we have all the groceries we will need. I think we'll go out 1 night but that's it. This trip is mainly for relaxing and enjoying nature. I'm so excited about being able to take the furbabies!!! On the way back to Indiana we are swinging by Rockie's in Ohio. We are going to spend the night there and then head on home the next day.

I've been looking for a good pair of warm boots for about a week. I have a gift card that I got from work that can only be used at certain stores. So I've been shopping online. I finally found a pair at Lands End, filled out all the info. only to find our they aren't doing gift cards on-line. This is why I don't like shopping.

I don't know if I'll have time to check in later today. Have a good Sunday everybody!

Thank you, Jen.
I had plenty of wine and ended the night with lots of crying and arguing. What a fun Saturday night. But I think K finally gets it and is going to help me out more, so that's good.

Hi Dawn! Whats up?

chicken BUTT! Did you ever say that when you were younger? No? Just me, huh?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I guess I was in a let people have it kind of mood yesterday. I posted this e-mail in our homeschooling group, after I cancelled a Christmas craft party for lack of RSVPs. Several of the ladies in the group said they didn't know they had to RSVP when it was in the newsletter.

The newsletter clearly stated that there was a deadline for this activity. The reason I set this deadline is so I could adequately prepare snacks and set up tables.

We're all short on time, but it only takes a second to RSVP for activities when the newsletter comes out. When we don't make RSVPing, arriving on time to field trips, or paying for tickets (or books) we reserved a priority, the person who plans the activity has to suffer. I have been really upset at the treatment several of the ladies who have gone out of their way to take a planning role in our group have received in the last few months. Bullying, sticking someone with the bill when people don't pay for the things they order, ugly e-mails... It really breaks my heart.

I will "uncancel" the activity this time, since so many people do want to attend. But, please ladies, let's treat each other kindly and be true to our word before our group is left with very little for our families to participate in. There are so many people in the world against what we do, we really can't afford to treat each other badly, can we?

Thank you for letting me speak my heart and I look forward to seeing all of you Wednesday. PLEASE, e-mail me at ******** by SUNDAY night so I can properly prepare for the Christmas craft party.

Dawn L****

I was done with it. I've talked to our groups president about ti several times and nothings happened, so I took care of it myself. I mean, these people send snide e-mails (not to the whole group, of course) and bully me to change the date or time on everything. A couple of my firends who plan activities have been stuck with paying for books or Nutcracker tix that people committed to, but won't pay for. It's really been weighing on me and I've been so disgusted by it.

So far I haven't gotten any ugly e-mails back from it, just ones that say sorry or ignore what I said. Half of the RSVPs now were to the group, so they STILL aren't paying attention! The meeting Tuesday should be fun!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Thanks! The 1st week in Dec is definitely not a slow time.

I tried it last yr. We'll see if this time around is better. I'm trusting V.

I'm weak and I feel gross. I want a shower and maybe a peice of toast.
The good news is that MIL and SD got well in 24 hrs or so.

Mel you rhymed!! Hope your feeling better and that Bob's coming back.

V and Katt on your losses

V on the phone

Rosie: So glad you didn't get arrested.

Kat: OMG I the NY pics!!! I wanna go!!
I haven't checked the TR yet. I'll get to it this week.

Dawn: Good for you that you showed those ladies. I don't know why people don't RSVP.

Angela: Looks like you guys had a great time in the World.
Cannot wait to get there. I'll PM you later if you want to meet. Maybe we can meet up with V too.

Hi everyone!!

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

Not much going on. Busy weekend at work. I did get my Xmas cards done and will be mailing them this week.

Just checking in. Have a good Sunday everyone!!

 

[PrincessV]

Morning all! Gotta go hit the books again, but had to pop in and say this:

IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!!!

BCS bowl selections tonight... it better be a showdown between Florida and Oklahoma.

 

[TEminnie]

Hey Dawn---forgot to let you know that I'll be at the party Tuesday---oh, and I'm flying in so I need you to pick me up at DFW..........and I'll need a place to stay.
(would love to see you tho!)


V--so the BCS picks are tonite? I think Tech finally got back to 25---they are playing in Tampa for the ACC soon tho. It's been a "rebuilding" year! (but I got to see them beat UVA so that was something!)

Maybe you could fly in for the party to San Antonio so I don't have to drive 4 hours each way to get you?

Also- Don't forget the party's on WEDNESDAY and it's for kids.

 

[Muffinygood]

Here I go, bucking the trend again and POSTING on top!! Silly Mel!!!

First, I'm sorry to all the people who I forgot to quote. The last few days are a haze! Thanks for all the bday wishes! They meant so much!

We are all WELL!!!! Get outta town! I have Bob's welcome home dinner prepped and ready to go! The boys will make the pie when they're done shovelling the driveway. Yeah, they're thrilled!

Bob should be here about 1pm. Unfortunately, I won't be. I'll be at SD's guitar lesson with him! But, he'll be here when I get home and he'll have time to shower and change his clothes at least! (OH, and the MIL will have him all to herself for a bit, which she'll love!)

Ok, not too much else going on here! Looking forward to all the Xmas cards I have to do! Can't procrastinate anymore...LOL.

Oh, honey. I'm sorry I didn't call back the other day. Stomach flu struck FAST. I'll give you a call this week, k?

We luvs you.

I say drink more wine!

Heck ya. (wine) Glad you feel better, Jen!

Uh, nope. Must be a TX thing....

ISo far I haven't gotten any ugly e-mails back from it, just ones that say sorry or ignore what I said. Half of the RSVPs now were to the group, so they STILL aren't paying attention! The meeting Tuesday should be fun!

I could've written that email myself. People's rudeness amazes me.... Glad someone still has the guts to speak up. If you don't, it will only get worse.

Mel you rhymed!! Hope your feeling better and that Bob's coming back.
Just checking in. Have a good Sunday everyone!!

Oh, Z!!! I didn't mean to rhyme. I was a mess!!!!! Glad to know my inner poet was still feeling it.....

Have a great Sunday!!!

Any advice appreciated!

Hi V

Penn State is going to the Rose Bowl I believe

Also- Don't forget the party's on WEDNESDAY and it's for kids.

She's brings BA and AB, didn't she tell you?

 

[TEminnie]

I've had this booked for 2 months---didn't I tell you before??? Oh---and 4 of the moms emailed me and said they thought the newsletter said the party was in Virginia so they can't come. Does that just leave us??

 

[TEminnie]

She's brings BA and AB, didn't she tell you?

no.......they have school.......Beth Ann says that God never intended me to homeschool!


How are you Janet??

I'm still in my robe---but I did get the Christmas boxes moved into the garage!!

 

[jcc0621]

Thought I'd so this in a seperate post...

Went to Hershey Park for Christmas in Hershey! It was cold, but not bitter although it did start flurrying around 4:00 or so. We wound up not getting home until 11pm It was realy nice. THey had about 30 of the rides open, games, and Santa. Jimmy didn't want to see Santa..."I'll see him next week at the mall mommy". We rode some rides, played some games, then as we were leaving we shopped , and then went through the drive through light display. 2 miles of Christmas lights. Very cool. No pictures of that, just video which Jim hasn't uploaded yet.

Here are some pictures:
