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

[askelton]

Can you buy such things in Florida? Where/When is he going?

We actually have winter clothes in storage, but since we didn't get them out last year, I have no idea what's there. He's going to Oxford, MS to see Ole Miss play Alabama. Go Rebels! He's going to drive by Eli Manning's house which he thinks is across the street from John Grisham's. Across 140 acres!

Jimmy has a pretty bad cold that is just kickinghis butt. If he still isn't feeling good I am going to call the doctor and get an appointment. I don't want it to go into a sinus infection

Can he take Ziacam or something? I felt bad the other day and I really do think taking it helped.

I have been such a good housewife today, well it was about time I've done the supermarket shopping, all the ironing, hoovered and made some cakes, aren't I good

Yum, cake.

I bought some quick-picks this morning!

Even though we have the lottery I never play which is silly because how can I win if I don't play?

I probably won't be around must this weekend, so I hope you all have a good one. I may pop on and read from time to time.

Have fun!

My eye still feels like someone bashed me in it. Ouch.

Not good.

I read through it - he's too funny! I loved it! DH got a flyer in the mail from AAA last week for a Disney cruise in January for super cheap, so we decided instead of buying a bunch of carp for each other for Christmas, we'll do the cruise . Can't wait!

I tried that with my family and got , but I have already informed my sister that when my grandmother is no longer around, we will do this. And they can come too or not.

 

[rachel3]

- I'm so glad she's close by and can stop in from time to time. I don't really think about it much, but she's making noise about wanting to do a college semester abroad (in London Jo!) and I just realized how much I would miss her if does go away. Now I know how alot of the other college parents feel

!

i bet that is hard. i don't even want to think about it yet.

 

[sorul82?]

i've seen that before..... hilarious!!! but you know, then i feel guilty about laughing at people..

I'm sure some of them are staged by people trying to win the $100 gift card.

 

[rachel3]

I'm sure some of them are staged by people trying to win the $100 gift card.

i didn't know there was a prize..... now you've got me thinking.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

SO what did you get?

Well, all they had was scary stuff and my kids prefer "funny" Halloweenie stuff. So I got this huge spider... probably 3 ft across and some really cool spider web stuff. Walmart might not be a bad idea...but I can't stand that place. Maybe I'll try Walgreen's.

Tracy and others, have you been to the people of Walmart website? I won't post a link; just google it.......enjoy!

OMG, I love those! I can't show them to my mother, because she laughs so hard she can't breathe!

I have GOT to get my stuff out - we have that darn dinner party here next weekend. I still haven't picked a food "theme" - any thoughts?

Mexican, naturally! Wait is it informal? Do you guys have a carneceria near by?

okay, here's the question, what would you choose mom's panel or lottery? i'm a little scared to hear the answer...

Now that's a silly question, Rachel.

Yum, cake.

I made the most insane cupcakes last night! O. M. G.

Even though we have the lottery I never play which is silly because how can I win if I don't play?

Oh crap! I forgot about Maddie!!! BBL.

 

[DisneyJo]

Now that's a silly question, Rachel.

T come on we need to know which Not saying mine though

All this waiting is driving me crazy and I'm not even waiting IYKWIM

 

[askelton]

I made the most insane cupcakes last night! O. M. G.

What kind? You must share that recipe.

All this waiting is driving me crazy and I'm not even waiting IYKWIM

You probably already know!

 

[DisneyJo]

You probably already know!

Nope, I know nothing honest, don't even know when they're sending out the emails. I know as much as you all do!!!

 

[princessjv]

No Bread Crumbs for me, again. Should I take a hint?

Jo- Do you know if you are staying on yet?

T- Are you giving us a recipe?

--------------------
I came in search a few times, but the site was far to slow for me.

I spent the AM having coffee with some girl friends, which should have lasted an hour or two, but we sat there for close to 4 hours! Tink was surprisingly great (she watched movies on my phone). It's Bunko night for me and I'm surprisingly uninterested in attending. I applied for a very part time job with a scrapbooking store. I'd like to earn some extra $$ for vacations. I think there were over 30 applications, so I'm not holding my breath.


What's new?

 

[Muffinygood]

Take it easy, honey. I can carry you around on speakerphone all day, then you wouldn't feel so lonely.
Be good and stay safe!!!

Carry me around? Oh....on the phone! LOL
I was gonna say, "Wow! You must be really strong! LOL"

that is really sweet mel, but i think you're being way too kind.

Uh, if you knew me, you'd know I'm never kind. ROFL!!

hey, didn't we take a picture at the poly? it's not on my camera, so it's you or z. i can't remember???

Great, I can't remember either. I'll ask Z...

you girls are all so sweet! i wish i would've done that. i have this paranoia of being rude or mean to people. i've always been like that and i'm not sure why. i guess it's usually a good thing, but i worry too much about it. i especially worry about offending people or saying something and it being taken the wrong way. i'm a weirdo.

No, that's not weird. It's sweet.

oh, i hope it feels better soon. did they at least give you some good pain pills that you can wash down with a blue moon???

Thanks. No, can you believe they didn't give me ANY pain meds? I have some (from other stuff) but I've just been taking Advil and Tylenol. It feels terrible though.

OMG!!! my 11 year old fifth grader just told me that he will have a girlfriend next year. why you ask? because he asked the girl he likes to be his girlfriend, but she's not allowed to have a boyfriend until the 6th grade. and where's the fainting smiley when you need it???

i was not prepared for this carp already!

Well, sadly you don't get a choice! LOL
I think it's sweet that he asked her and is going to wait till next year when she gets permission.

I tried that with my family and got , but I have already informed my sister that when my grandmother is no longer around, we will do this. And they can come too or not.

I think we may be from the same family....

I made the most insane cupcakes last night! O. M. G.

Yum. Cupcakes.
I was telling NotBob about your cupcake obsession. He said he thinks that cupcakes are WAY better than cake.

What's new?

Not much! How are you?


***********
Snuck off for Chinese food. It was good but now I feel gross. Chinese food always makes me feel gross. Why do I persist in eating it?

SD is showering. We just watched Joe Dirt together. Dang, that movie cracks me up!!! No plans for later. Just gonna watch tv and veg. More.

How about you guys?

MEL
Oh, Jo....what did you decide on the kitten????

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

T come on we need to know which Not saying mine though

Oh come on, Jo. I'll say mine if you say yours.

What kind? You must share that recipe.

See below.

No Bread Crumbs for me, again. Should I take a hint?

Oh there have been a few times when I was sure they were trying to ditch me too, Jen!

T- Are you giving us a recipe?

YES! Duncan Hines Devils food cake and Pillsbury Dark Chocolate frosting.

I applied for a very part time job with a scrapbooking store. I'd like to earn some extra $$ for vacations. I think there were over 30 applications, so I'm not holding my breath.

Good luck with that Jen. I've been thinking of doing the same thing.

 

[jcc0621]

I have, not exactly a sore throat, but a throat which feels swollen inside, like asthma but not exactly. I don't get it. I don't feel too bad, but it's not great. I'm a little headachy, still, but that's about it. I had some tea, didn't help. Sigh.

I felt the same way over the weekend

I probably won't be around must this weekend, so I hope you all have a good one. I may pop on and read from time to time.

HAve a good weekend

Boring day here. Janet can attest to the utter depressing-ness of sitting around doing NOTHING all day when you have TONS to accomplish. It's infuriating!

Job security

I read through it - he's too funny! I loved it! DH got a flyer in the mail from AAA last week for a Disney cruise in January for super cheap, so we decided instead of buying a bunch of carp for each other for Christmas, we'll do the cruise Can't wait!

Awesome. When are you going?

DD Ariel is stopping by for dinner tonight - I'm so glad she's close by and can stop in from time to time. I don't really think about it much, but she's making noise about wanting to do a college semester abroad (in London Jo!) and I just realized how much I would miss her if does go away. Now I know how alot of the other college parents feel

She goes to Temple??

Poor little guy. I hope he feels better.

He seems okay now

I'm not sweating it. It's either yes or no. I'll be glad to know one way or another, though.

Not like some of the people on that Moms thread

hope everything is okay with your dad. i'm thinking of you..

Thanks Rachel

you girls are all so sweet! i wish i would've done that. i have this paranoia of being rude or mean to people. i've always been like that and i'm not sure why. i guess it's usually a good thing, but i worry too much about it. i especially worry about offending people or saying something and it being taken the wrong way. .

Don't be silly

OMG!!! my 11 year old fifth grader just told me that he will have a girlfriend next year. why you ask? because he asked the girl he likes to be his girlfriend, but she's not allowed to have a boyfriend until the 6th grade. and where's the fainting smiley when you need it???

i was not prepared for this carp already!

Can he take Ziacam or something? I felt bad the other day and I really do think taking it helped.

I don't know. I will have to ask the pediatrician if it something that won't interact with his ADHD medication

Well, all they had was scary stuff and my kids prefer "funny" Halloweenie stuff. So I got this huge spider... probably 3 ft across and some really cool spider web stuff. Walmart might not be a bad idea...but I can't stand that place. Maybe I'll try Walgreen's.

Wally World scares me too

Oh crap! I forgot about Maddie!!! BBL.

Oh no, were you late!?

No Bread Crumbs for me, again. Should I take a hint?

Don't be silly

I applied for a very part time job with a scrapbooking store. I'd like to earn some extra $$ for vacations. I think there were over 30 applications, so I'm not holding my breath.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Snuck off for Chinese food.

You drove

YES! Duncan Hines Devils food cake and Pillsbury Dark Chocolate frosting.

I baked cookies today. You know the Pillsbury break and bake Halloween cookies
-----------------------

Hey all. DInner is done. Jimmy still isn't feeling great. We will make a decison tomorrow on weather he goes to school or not. No fever, just stuffy.

We are sitting watching Fairly Oddparents...what a bad show!

Going to try and get him up for bath and bed a little early. Don't think its going to be that difficult.

Tomorrow I go for the MRI on my ear. I have to be there at 7:45. I have the first slot of the day so hopefully I won't be there forever. I want to clean my bathroom and finish up the little bit of laundry I have left.

I actually ordered a Christmas gift for Jim today...let the shopping begin

Not much else going on here. What's everyone else up too?

 

[askelton]

I applied for a very part time job with a scrapbooking store.

I'd like something like that although if Mitch actually gets deployed, I'll have to get a full time job.

We just watched Joe Dirt together.

I love David Spade.

YES! Duncan Hines Devils food cake and Pillsbury Dark Chocolate frosting.

My mother and grandmother would absolutely die if they knew this, but sometimes when they are on a BOGO, I do buy a boxed cake & icing.


Mitch has left and I'm in a funk. I don't like it at all. Both that he has left and I am in a funk. I'll never make it if he's gone for a year. I will, but you know. Usually I am perfectly fine being with myself, but at night, not so much. Enough complaining. He'll be home soon and I'm going to F & W Saturday.

 

[englishrose47]

[englishrose47]

Good luck

Yeah but it was still warm, Wales is wet and cold

Yes Jo and it also has "Toiledus "

 

[jcc0621]

Jimmy is sick He is probably going to be home with me tomorrow, but I am going to have to take him with me to get my MRI done tomorrow.

Ugh!

 

[KatGarcia]

OK I feel completely out of the loop.....whats going on around here???

Things with KC & I are GREAT. We had a very long talk and we brought everything out into the open (including the indiscretion i was hesitant to talk about before) and we really are on the road to good. We are planning a vow renewal for our 5 year anniv in Feb. I am relieved to have it all out in the open finally.

it's super late and I am going to hit the bed but I wanted to check in first! Miss you all!!!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Ugh... I don't want to be awake right now. A cold front came through and it's raining. It's a good morning to stay in bed, but it's Family Picnic Lunch day. I'm guessing it's now Family Eat in the Cafeteria Day now.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

 

[cmp1111]

Hi!

I read through last night and this morning, but didn't quote.

Dawn, I feel the same way - it's cloudy and cold this morning - would have liked to go back to bed, but with D and company around...

Kat, that's good!

D says he needs to go down to the office for a bit today, so I think MIL and I will probably do some shopping and so forth. We will likely either go out to dinner tonight or bring something home, then she's insisting on D & I going out tomorrow night whilst she takes the boys out somewhere. Works for me!

How's everyone else's day going?
