[HomeschoolMama]

Sure, is he allowed to go to Disney?

Sure.

He's really such a sweet, yummy, "all boy" boy. Just not when he's ticked, which, depending on the day... could be a lot! Some days, I'd send him to you- but I sure would miss him.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Geez, Mel. When you said you were going to lay on the couch all day, I didn't know you meant you weren't going to talk to us.

Seriously, where are you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, B has another ortho appt soon. I'm so frustrated with not knowing what they are going to do each time. I told a few friends she got spacers and one told me they would put metal stuff in her mouth this week and rubber bands. Another girl told me she'll be getting head gear today. It all sounds unplesant and I hate not knowing. head ggear's gonna take some serious comforting afterwards, YKWIM? She'll cry if that happens. I need to know these things.

T? What do you think is up next? I heard talk of a repo and a cage on a tooth. I heard something about leaving the spacers for the week. Does that mean that's all she had to have them? I'm so lost.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Mushroom chicken, duh. I just brown the chicken (or throw it in the crockpot with the soup) and add the soup on top. Serve with rice and veggies.

Hmmm... sounds easy enough.

Geez, Mel. When you said you were going to lay on the couch all day, I didn't know you meant you weren't going to talk to us.

Yeah, no kidding... bust out the lap top Mel!

If I were you, I'd ask the ortho to explain his "plan" for B. From what I understand, the spacers are replaced with bands after 1 week. Did the ortho say head gear was going to be a part of her process? I've only had braces for 4 months and my process has only been spacers, bands, brackets. I'm pretty green at this stuff, sorry.

Have I told you how much I love you?

 

[askelton]

Do you know how many times Andy had that argument with my mother. She said the same thing "It's only pre-school, not real school!"

Apparently TE and I will never win this argument.

You're way nicer than me!

I can cut and paste with the best of them.

 

[DisneyJo]

She'll cry if that happens. I need to know these things.

Surely they'll tell you before anything big?!?!?

Another Focker T wants to marry

We're newer too. She just got them on in May. I wasn't told what her plan was where head gear was concerned.
Thanks for the advice. Today I'll ask the doctor what the plan is so I can feel more informed. We better head out! i'll check in when I'm back.

Surely they'll tell you before anything big?!?!?

You'd think. But who knows...

 

[jcc0621]

Boy you all got chatty all of a sudden! Hope everyone is having a good day.

T - Glad things are starting to clear up.

Dawn - Hope things have settled down with A.

Angela - I was always crazy too if Jimmy miised daycare for any reason, only because it would screw up the rest of his schedule, so maybe that's why they are adament about it???

Help!

I throw them right in the washer, on the delicate cycle, but then line dry them. Some recommend putting them in the dishwasher. I tried this once and I don't think they came out as clean.

 

[KatGarcia]

Good Morning All! What's this about a NY Meet?? Fill me in !! I know we had talked about Jo in April visiting her sister but as that is on hold I guess I missed these plans !! Darn Work it interfers with my Dissing !!

I'm working on getting everyone here for a day one weekend before or maybe right after christmas, to see the tree and the city in general! I miss my focker friends!

I can send you the recipe quick if you want. It's super easy!

They have been playing ALOT so I'm assuming they love it. Gus had the Beta test thingy, so he's not as jazzed as SD.
Bob's unable to play because you have to be at least a level 70 and he's only a 40 I think.
Glad KC got the router fixed. I am so thankful that Bob knows about computers because we have SO many!

I will def take the recipe! I think I wanna make 'em wed. KC hasn't has much time for gaming these days i think thats why he isnt getting the expansion anytime soon.

Kat - about the router. As for NYC, I would definitely like to do it, but I don't know if I will be able too. It seems like our weekends are filling up already for the holidays! Everyone else make plans and then I will see if I can hop on board!

maybe the first weekend in january? The tree is usually still up then and all of our schedules will be calmer????

Here is the list so far:

Did u not get my email??

Ok, I need help. I have 5 chicken breasts, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, frozen & fresh veggies and a bag of rice. Who's got a recipe? I don't want to go to the grocery store today.

Crock pot baby- throw everything but the rice into it and cook! I love my crock pot!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afternoon all! I am highly unmotivated today! It's cold outside and hot in here and it makes me wanna plop! I think I may actually catch up w the dis today (gasp!).

Apparently KCs uncle is coming to stay the night tomorrow. To KC this is no big deal, to me it's time to clean and organize and see what to cook for dinner and a million other things he thinks not of. I feel bad but honestly I'm not that happy about it. I love the guy and he needs to be around people (long story) but we live in a small house plus this is the week my aunt flo is visiting and i like my alone time during the week. Whatever i'm going to suck it up and deal i guess.

Maybe I just need more coffee...

OH- quick question- I lost all my holiday music and am trying to download some good stuff- any suggestions???

 

[princessjv]

DO they come out in the right shape?

[KatGarcia]

I love my Harry Connick and Michael Buble'!

Thanks...I'm off to download them!!!!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

DO they come out in the right shape?

They sure do. I just wash them with everything else on whatever and air dry them.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We're back from the orthodontist. No headgear. Two weird silver bracket cages on her back top right side. Poor thing. It's only supposed to hurt a little today. At least she should be able to eat on the other side. We don't have to go back until 12/29! And it's only for a wire change!

Soon we'll head out for the library and dance, then drama. Camryn's drama play is this weekend, so she has practice 3x this week.

 

[askelton]

Okay I have ground meat!!

hamburgers!

OH- quick question- I lost all my holiday music and am trying to download some good stuff- any suggestions???

A Very Special Christmas, the red one is best, then the green one is good.

It's only supposed to hurt a little oday.

I'm glad it wasn't too bad.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm glad it wasn't too bad.

Yeah, or she'd be on a plane with her brother to your house!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At least A's room is finally clean. After several hours of distraction and playing.

 

[DisneyJo]

Jen as the others have said just chuck the caps in with your regular wash and they come out fine, I've washed ours tons

Dawn I'm so glad the orthodontist went well

 

[Muffinygood]

Is it time for me to start my ooooooh snow you're so lucky chat?

I didn't tell you about my BIL, Em had a call when we were at Dads from her DH saying he'd had a bit of a kerfuffle. He has this thing about going to sleep in the car if the boys do rather than move them. Well he drove to the supermarket and Ollie had fallen asleep so he took the chance to also have a sleep. Well a while later he heard people trying to get in the car, it was 2 police and 2 workers and they thought that he'd killed himself and Ollie Apparently the car was surrounded by people watching

NO. Snow stinks!!! Brrrrr.

OMGosh Jo! That's a scary story!

Hi T! Now if only your computer room was full of brownies... Yum!

Ooooh Yummy!

Of course we did.

Dang!

Geez, Mel. When you said you were going to lay on the couch all day, I didn't know you meant you weren't going to talk to us.

Seriously, where are you?

I'm here! Sorry....I didn't realize I'd scare everyone by not posting a million times!

ortho appt soon. I'm so frustrated with not knowing what they are going to do each time. I told a few friends she got spacers and one told me they would put metal stuff in her mouth this week and rubber bands. Another girl told me she'll be getting head gear today. It all sounds unplesant and I hate not knowing. head ggear's gonna take some serious comforting afterwards, YKWIM? She'll cry if that happens. I need to know these things.

T? What do you think is up next? I heard talk of a repo and a cage on a tooth. I heard something about leaving the spacers for the week. Does that mean that's all she had to have them? I'm so lost.

SD has had braces for about 18 mo. now. He had the spaces, they were only in for a couple weeks (maybe??) and then they used the space they provided to place metal bands around those teeth. These are sort of the "anchors" for the braces. The braces came afterwards. The bands don't hurt at all. I don't know why she'd have head gear yet... That's usually after the braces are on for a while.
Hope this helped.

Yeah, no kidding... bust out the lap top Mel!

Seriously, where are you?

Ok, I'm totally feeling the love. It's good to know that if I go away for too long you'll worry! I did IN FACT lay on the couch. I watched tv, loaded the dishwasher, made a couple of phone calls and then I showered. I had to go to the post office for Bob. Then I got both kids. Now I'm home!

I will def take the recipe! I think I wanna make 'em wed. KC hasn't has much time for gaming these days i think thats why he isnt getting the expansion anytime soon.

I will email it to you as soon as I get a chance, K? Poor KC! Bob isn't going to be able to game for 2 and 1/2 weeks in Japan! He'll be pretty bored just sitting around the hotels every night....Poor guy! I'm hoping that he's wrong and he'll be able to. Unfortunately, he won't see the boys online because they'll be SLEEPING when he's awake.
