Team Focker Watch: Lucky Number 13!

[jcc0621]

Kristel - Still thinking of you and Doug

Rosie -I hope yopu enjoy your day off.

Taz - I will say I hope you don't get your pics tomorrow...only becaue I don't want ANY snow

V - Hope your day gets better. When do you go back to school?

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

Morning all. As Taz said we are expecting more snow (4 - 8) inches tomorrow night into Wednesday. I really despise snow

Rough morning this am. Jimmy really did not want to get up this morning. I didn't either, but man he is tough when he doesn't want o get up. I wound up taking him to school because he was so slow. Hope that doesnt effect his day at school, especially becasue he was Student of the Week last week

Not too exciting a weekend here. I worked Saturday and then yesterday I de-Christmased the inside of the house and did . I will finish up the last of that tonight. No 2nd job until Wed and Thurs, so that's good.

Hope you all have a good day week. Looking forward to the end of this one because then Monday is a day off

Chat later

Thanks to everyone posting snow pictures. That's the way I prefer my snow. We are supposed to get colder the rest of the week, but not that cold.


The college cheerleaders are having a competition at WWOS this weekend, so I may go with my BIL and Reid. He can cheer for Uncle Mooch's team, Ole Miss.

My parents will be here next week and plan on going to MGM with Reid. He saw the Handy Mandy sign and got all excited. Is it a show or what? I've never been.

Mitch will be home for 2 weeks at the end of the month. Finally getting excited as it does seem real now. Then supposedly home for good in April. That hasn't been confirmed yet.

Stay safe and warm.

Hello, all!

Kristel - I am so, so sorry. I don't have the right words, but please know that I am thinking of you both. Much love heading your way.

**************************************************
Had a great weekend with Dr. Belle, working around a low-grade feverish kid. Woody just does this periodically - low-grade fever, no other symptoms, feels fine and wants to do stuff... So, he wound up home yesterday because he'd had a fever up to bedtime Sunday night.

We went out Saturday night and mostly just hung out and chatted, and it was great!

We are supposed to get 12-15 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow - of course, D left today. I am supposed to volunteer for an after-school thing for an hour today, then we'll do karate. I had hoped to work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday (where we have a half-day), but I don't think ANYONE'S going to be working at school tomorrow.

In the sad news arena, I found out last night that the 9 year old who died in the Arizona shootings this weekend was the niece of a friend of mine from college. Janet will know who I mean when I say that she was Dallas Green's granddaughter, and I know his youngest son from way back. This was his other son's daughter... Just awful.

But, aside from that, not much in the way of news or happenings here! I dropped Dr. Belle at the airport about an hour ago and she should be on her way. Sounds like she should miss most weather flying - she flies into Chicago, but then needs to take a train to our hometown area, where there's supposed to be pretty good snow. She is driving back to her own house in Missouri later in the week.

Hope you all have a good start to your Tuesday! to everyone who needs one.

Show off

The college cheerleaders are having a competition at WWOS this weekend, so I may go with my BIL and Reid. He can cheer for Uncle Mooch's team, Ole Miss.

Dad always liked working the cheering competitions Me I couldn't handle all that screeching

My parents will be here next week and plan on going to MGM with Reid. He saw the Handy Mandy sign and got all excited. Is it a show or what? I've never been.

Handy Manny is a show on the DIsney CHannel. Very cute.

Mitch will be home for 2 weeks at the end of the month. Finally getting excited as it does seem real now. Then supposedly home for good in April. That hasn't been confirmed yet.

and fingers crossed that April happens

Glad you had fun, but sorry that WOody wasn't feeling well.

Sounds great!

I had hoped to work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday (where we have a half-day), but I don't think ANYONE'S going to be working at school tomorrow.

We aren't getting that much, but enough that they will probably close school tomorrow.

Janet will know who I mean when I say that she was Dallas Green's granddaughter, and I know his youngest son from way back. This was his other son's daughter... Just awful.

It's in all the papers here. So sad. She was born on 9/11 too

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

WHy is it that when you think you are going to have a fairly easy day all heck breaks loose I was hoping to be able just relax and get some minor things that have been piling up on my desk cleared up and 3 major things dropped on my desk at 9:15

Like CE we are waiting for the snow to start. We are expecting 4 - 8 inches, but the way the band is supposed to hit I have a feeling the boys will be off from school tomorrow. I however, will still have to work...both jobs.

Not much else going on here. Just the normal work, school, homework, etc. We did have family game night and Jimmy kicked out butts in The Game of Life

I have a feeling we will be playing a rematch tonight

Hope you are all having a great day.

CHat later

 

[jcc0621]

Good Morning! I am annoyed. It snowed. Less than 6 inches, the roads are clear, AND they closed schools Why, so they can tack days onto the end? Well, if they add a day on to the end of the year Jimmy will not be attending on that day. SOrry, my kid shouldn't lose a day of summer vacation becasue you are idiots or too lazy to drive to work today. Sorry...thanks for letting me vent

Other than that all is well, I am at work. I did call out at Macy's for tongiht only becasue I have to get some other things for Jimmy taken care of before he goes to school tomorrow. Paperwork and such that needs to get filled out as well as some scout stuff I need to get done.

The boys were at Dunkin Donuts and then were going to finish shoveling and then go do some sledding. I should get out of here about 4pm, which will be nice to get home a bit early tonight. Especially since Jimmy has declared it Monopoly Night.

CE, how much snow did you/are you getting?

Hope eveyone is have a great day

 

[askelton]

How is it that every state except Florida got snow? Crazy!

Janet, how much longer will you be at Macy's? Enjoy Monopoly tonight.

Off to the dentist and the Y.

We can send you some if you want it that badly

Janet, how much longer will you be at Macy's? Enjoy Monopoly tonight.

They have actually asked me to stay onas a permemnant PT person. I am going to do it for now, but if it starts to get on my nerves or interferes with Jimmy's stuff I will give it up!

Vent away!

CE, how much snow did you/are you getting?

Well, it's what, 11:00 nearly? We already have at least a foot according to D (more on that in a minute) and it's supposed to snow until 8:00. We are now expecting up to 2 FEET.

Off to the dentist and the Y.

Have fun! :grin:

*******************************************************
So, the people D flew decided that they didn't want to get stuck in the Midwest, so they wound up flying home late last night, rather than coming back today... Good for me - now the snow removal is his problem.

I'm perturbed because we didn't get the auto phone call that school was off, so I had to get up and check early this morning. There's a bunch of questions going on in FB - seems that about half of my friends here in town got the call, and half didn't. Weird.

It hadn't started snowing by the time I went to bed around midnight, but when I did get up to check, it was more or less just pouring snow, so I assumed we were done, but a few towns called it last night and we hadn't, so...

At any rate, we're just hanging out, then - it is so bad that I wouldn't consider leaving the house even if we get the driveway cleared. It's also very windy, which is MOST unusual here - I'm used to wind and snow together in IL, but it doesn't happen much here in the woods. Oh, well. I just hope we can keep power, then.

Hope you all have a good day!

Hi Everyone

Kristel I hope things are going OK

We don't have snow, wooohoooo Remember the days when I loved it? Yep they're over It is rather wet though!!!

It's been golf, golf, golf for me. Won a match on Sunday, did a few holes with D on Monday, played in a fun team comp with the lady Captain on Tuesday (which we won and received a basket of flowers) then we played our final group match today which we drew so we're pretty happy. There are 5 teams in our group and the results are pretty tight so we could win if the others do badly

Tomorrow I have to take the damaged car to the garage so they can look at it then Friday is another golf match, it's the semi-final of a foursomes (with a lady partner and you take alternate shots) knock out. Then I collapse

We don't get a call. YOu have to listen to the radio or watch the news. That was fun today since one station was reporting that schools were open aand another was saying they were closed.

Chat later

 

[DisneyJo]

Woohooo someone's checked in

Is FB playing up for you guys? It won't load for me

I played the semi-final of my golf match today and we won but they gave us the match after 6 holes as they weren't feeling very well Honestly some women

No wins today but my £250 ($400) cheque win yesterday was amazing, it's fantastic that it's money rather than anything else, it's gone in our holiday/vacation fund

So do you all have a long weekend? What are you up too?

 

[DisneyJo]

Spoke too soon I just won a free download of Letters to Juliet, I thought the comp was for the DVD and have no clue how to use the code but hey ho

 

[jcc0621]

Woohooo someone's checked in

I know I was beginning to thing it was something I said

Is FB playing up for you guys? It won't load for me

It was fine for me

Well I wasn't going to say LY

It was fine for me

It'll load once then won't load again, very frustrating, I have comps to enter BTW I have a seperate FB account for comps, don't want to bombard you all with comp posts!

Well we were playing very well

 

[PrincessV]

Hi guys - I'm here! Well, now I am.

I've been swamped with getting things decided upon and booked for our big road trip, so haven't been DISing much. But we're now as booked as we need to be for the next couple months and I can turn my attention back to all things Mouse!

Nothing much new here; just trudging along with work, and school for Leo. My next semester begins next Tues., so I'm mentally preparing to be overwhelmed again for a few months. Luckily, I know that one class will be a lot more reading and a lot less writing - sooo much easier on me! The other hasn't provided any information yet, so here's hoping for a not-too-heavy load.

Hope everyone's staying warm!

Mine's doing something similar Jo - and I'm not getting any notifications up top. Who screwed up Facebook?!

Good and I mean that in a nice way because it means that it's not because I've got some nasty virus

Especially since we can't enter them

There are loads of US ones that I can't enter

I've won another prize, I need to post I haven't won more often This was from FB and it's a Tomato compost croc (yes I did need to Google what it was ) it's a pot in the shape of a tomato that you put food scraps into then empty into the compost heap. The one I found looked really cute but I will use it for something else as we don't have a compost heap
