Team Focker Watch, Part 12. Have we jumped the shark yet?

[KatGarcia]

Just popping in to say HI.

KC & I are officially back together! We put our wedding rings back on last night. I am beyond ecstatic. We have a lot to deal with still but its the love and re-commitment thats important now.

I really wanna say thanks for being there for me. I have been MIA lately but always try to keep up and really do feel lucky to have such wonderful friends in my life!


I'm headed to the city for coffee with a friend then hanging out with KC. Have a great weekend!

He didn't say one way or the other. He wants to get the MRI done first before he says anything else one way or the other.

The funny thing is I had never had an ear infection before I got sick in FLA.

Wow---let me know when your MRI is. R u ok with having it done?

Just slightly

Woohooo fantastic, I was wondering if you'd found out yet

Sounds good and good luck with the bid, what swag did you get? Oh and have fun at the social!

Oh no, I'm slightly deaf too but it's when there is background noise, must go for another check. Plus I must get my jaw checked, whenever I eat it cracks like mad, David says it's really loud


You all probably know as I posted on FB but I had a fantastic game of golf today. I played 5 over par when I'm meant to play 11 over, that also included 2 really bad holes so I'm very pleased

Well.....how was the icecream??

And what's with us all losing hearing?? Some internet hearing virus????

Man... my dogs were barking at a creepy vulture on my neighbor's house. I was on the phone & dealing with Aiden, so I hadn't made them come inside when a jerk from down the road came and rang my bell to be ugly to me about it.

I get that he was annoyed with their barking, but I never let my dogs bark. Things were crazy hectic at that moment. He could have asked me nicely, but instead he was an rude bully. I don't even know who he was and he drove to my house.

K says to find out who he is and he's going to talk to him this weekend. What is it with people that being a bully makes them feel good about themselves?

Tell him to come to my house---if Bear doesn't leap on him, the goats will!

.....still can't get Bear to not jump in the UPS truck---he matches the truck too--I wanna get a picture of him!

++++++++

Well, I went shopping at JCP--they are having a scratch card discount--15 20 or 30% off and I got a 30%!! I got a pretty red cashmere wool coat that ended up being $69 so I was excited! After I got the 30%, I went back and bought Daran some Dockers ($17) and a shirt ($8) and BA a few things. I love a good deal!

I would say a few things here about him, but then I might get banned form the boards Sorry you had to deal with that!

Tennis was nice, went to the store and got a thing of cupcakes and a big chocolate chip cookie for the social. I talked to Dr. Belle for nearly an hour , then ran the stuff to school.

I just realized that I hadn't had lunch, so I need to grab something so I'm not terribly off schedule. The boys will need to eat a little early before we go for the ice cream, so... Sigh.

I really, really need a shower, too.

HAve fun tonight!

Hi Kat Glad things are improving.

Wow---let me know when your MRI is. R u ok with having it done?

Don't know..never had one before! NExt Friday 7:45am!

-------------------

Back from an afternoon out with my neighbor. We went to lunch and then we went to Kohl's! I got Jimmy some undershirts, and then everything else for me I got 2 new tops for work (80% off) and a new handbag. It was just nice to get out of the house for couple of hours!

I have to go make McMommy Meals for dinner in a little bit, but other than that nothing on the agenda for me this evening.

 

[TEminnie]

You'll be fine janet...trust me, I'm a doctor you know! ---Abby had to have an open one when she was having headaches and she did ok.


gotta go get Ab in a minute---one more week till her license....got mixed feelings on that one....tired of running but scary.

Good news! We'll always be here!

I love a good deal!

Awesome!

I got Jimmy some undershirts, and then everything else for me

Nice!

*************************************************
Kids just got home and the neighbor girl has just shown up. I'm developing a headache, which is unfortunate, as I can't send the kids outside. It's not so nice out. Sigh.

Thanks TE!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Oops, Jo. I was looking at Janet's button. I was thinking, "Dang, she's not going back utnil 2013 and for a AK Marathon again?!" I'm tired. Ignore me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I figured out why the vulture bird was sitting on my neighbor's house. He must have dropped his tasty squirrel lunch into may yard. I went to take and nap and called the puppies to come with me and my 5 month old puppy was EATING IT!

Needless to say, I'm horrified and he was uninvited to nap with me.

I had to read my post back twice to see what I had written!

...that does remind me of when Daran was trapping musk rats and he said he hoped to get enough for a coat.........seriously.....


We have 3 calfs that we are fattening up---Minnie, Baby Cow, and Brown cow--they are in separate field from the 2 bigger cows that I have not named yet! But they have now learned to come when I call and MOO back at me! I'll try to get some pics of them

 

[debraW76]

Kat, Glad things are looking up for you.
Janet, Hope you are feeling better real soon

To everyone else.

I have had a crazy two weeks. I have read here and there but have had no time to comment. we have had several sicknesses in the kids. Chi woke up vomiting last week, Some of the boys had diarrhea. Delta and Omicron have been running fevers for 4-5 days. Omicron's went away on Thursday but today DH took Delta to the doctor and found he had the flu type B and an ear infection. Some how I have managed to stay well through all of this.

Also I have been working like crazy. The new engineering director has made so many changes it is like learning a new job. I think it is all for the better and he is ultimately making us all better engineers as well as a better department as a whole. But it has been a huge adaptation for me. I just now feel like I am starting to figure things out and how he wants things to flow.

One good change he has made is that he initiated a work at home policy for me when I am home with sick kids. It started last week when Chi was sick. I called him before work and explained what had happened. He said everything was fine and I could take the day off. I said 'thanks, but I promised Lufthansa (one of our European customers) an answer by the end of the week which means I need to give them an answer by noon.' I said I would come in and work a half day and then leave at lunch to be with her.

When I got to work he commended me on my dedication and said I had approval to work from home as needed whenever my kids were sick. This is a big deal because I have asked for this about a dozen times over the last 4 years and the answer was always a stern "NO". I am so excited about this

I worked 40 hours last two weeks and this week only 34 but had all the sicknesses. My house is a disaster area. Oh and we are going to Universal Studios in two weeks. It's a short, cheap trip but I still have so much to do. Laundry, packing, shopping...

Football has also taken a lot of time away from dissin. Practice 3 nights a week for 2 hours, games every weekend. We are not eating dinner until 7:45 and we still have homework, showers, and cleaning up to do. Luckily the practices end at different times so we can get a lot done before dinner on most nights.

Oh and DH had a birthday last weekend. We kept it low key and invited some friends over and had margaritas, coronas, and pizza. We laughed so hard that our sides hurt.

Sorul82? - I am soooo embarrassed. I just now got what your screen name means

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!!!

 

[jcc0621]

Hi Deb I' am much better. The doctor has me out of work until November 2nd, but I feel like I could go back no. Luckily I get paid for the time I am out so it's not a huge deal. I'm a bit bored actually

Wow you have been going through alot. My boss lets me work from home when needed. It's my favorite perk!

 

[TEminnie]

Deb--don't feel bad---lots of folks thought her name was "sor-rul"---you'll see we call her Slate a lot....not sure when we started that....

+++++++++++++++++++
Ab was cautioning me on talking to folks on the net that I don't know rolleyes..........and I realized that we have been chatting for a long time now---maybe 3 years?? Anyone know?

When did all of you first become a Focker???

 

[carrieannie]

Going to go make a drink and come back to catch up with everyone!

Here is the link to the thread. It was started on 4/7/07!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1410032

BUt we all really started chatting on V, T, and LL's TR's. V started these after the original thread got shut down for the illegal use of Focker and we got in trouble for too much chit chat on the TR's!

Going to go make a drink and come back to catch up with everyone!

K says to find out who he is and he's going to talk to him this weekend. What is it with people that being a bully makes them feel good about themselves?

Aww,,thats mean of him! but I dont know if its a great idea to go talk to him either. maybe if it happens again or if hes jerky about something else. but I would just leave it alone at this point. he knows where you live too!

Just popping in to say HI.

Well if it is read fairly quickly the sentences seem to belong together.

We have 3 calfs that we are fattening up---Minnie, Baby Cow, and Brown cow--they are in separate field from the 2 bigger cows that I have not named yet! But they have now learned to come when I call and MOO back at me! I'll try to get some pics of them

Should you be naming these cows at all? what will become of these cows?

To everyone else.

I have had a crazy two weeks. .

Hi Deb!! sounds like the new manager is going to be a good one!!!

Sorul82? - I am soooo embarrassed. I just now got what your screen name means

I remember last year I had to actually have it spelled out for me..I didnt quite get it. then I had the big AH-HA moment!
