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

[DisneyJo]

Uh....you mean you really DIDN"T get on the panel? Has it all been a virtual dream? The trips?? the candy???

Yeah I made it all up You know what I'm talking ABOUT RIGHT?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Sorry--you've been down this road before I know....folks don't usually get easier to deal with as they get older either.

Her email today was so full of hate and lies that I am officially done with her. I forwarded the e-mail to K and he's going to deal with her. I don't want to talk to her, see her or let my kids go with her. I can't trust her. Clearly she's off her rocker.

OK so why do some people never get over the fact that I got on the panel?

Is that still going on? I thought it ended when our board thinned out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for the hugs, peeps. I don't want to think about her anymore. She's wasted too much of my time with her drama already.

I want some lunch. All that fighting makes me hungry!

 

[jcc0621]

Ehhhh...Dis was down for maintence anyways so you didn't miss much.

Good to know!

Not much going on today. DR's daycare is closed so I'm home with him today. I think he and I are going to head to Target to finish up some Chrismtas shopping. Other than that I'll be doing homework, laundry and some cleaning.

Hope y'all have a good day!

I saw about the daycare being closed. That's great that they are being so diligent, but man it really jmesses with the schedule

I guess men can only think about one thing at a time?

Well golf didn't go so well today, we lost, but only just, one of the ladies was horrid though, she was so nasty to her partner they literally had a verbal fight in the middle of the game She was about 50 whereas her partner is only 20 and it was like they were Mother and DDAnyway we can beat them when they play at our course

Oh man, next time you must video

I saw that fight on YouTube---love the part where you try to break it up with your golf club!

OK so why do some people never get over the fact that I got on the panel?

What did I miss

Yeah I made it all up You know what I'm talking ABOUT RIGHT?

Not worth the aggravation Dawn

Hola amigas!

I've been reading along, but haven't really had time to quote and post.

to Dawn

to all the sick Focker babes.

**********************************************

Busy, busy, busy. I swear I feel like I'm just keeping my nose above the water some days.

Today I completely forgot to head to the school for my volunteer time! D'Oh!

I reeeeeeally need to start Christmas shopping. My kids haven't asked for anything major. Maddie got an American Girl doll and a DSi for her birthday, so she's pretty much set. Evan wants LEGOs, which are pretty simple. I think I'd rather buy toys for donation this year. My kids simply don't NEED more toys, KWIM?

I'm really trying to focus my Brownies on Community Service this month and next, so we'll tour a food bank and collect donations for them. They'll also help out at a community Thanksgiving meal for needy families.

I just feel the need to make a difference this year, KWIM?


Hope everyone enjoys their Thursday!

Let him sort it

Nothing much, check FB!

Didn't we have that discussion last year?


Today, well almost exactly now, it's 1 year ago that I got the call that I was on the panel. Can you remember how I never thought I'd get chosen and then how i couldn't post anywhere for hours? Where has that time gone though????

That's a great idea, T, or maybe a family membership to the zoo or museum system.

I'm really trying to focus my Brownies on Community Service this month and next, so we'll tour a food bank and collect donations for them. They'll also help out at a community Thanksgiving meal for needy families.

I did that too back in the day when I was a Brownie. We also went to an orphanage and took the children gifts.


Jo, you have been an exemplary member of the Mom's Panel and they are lucky to have you. We are too.

 

[askelton]

So sad about the shooting at Ft. Hood, TX.

Yipes! That's up the road. I'll have to google it.

 

[DisneyJo]

I know, it's ridiculous how fast time goes isn't it

Jo, you have been an exemplary member of the Mom's Panel and they are lucky to have you. We are too.

Awww you're so sweet


David has just come home early, he did something to his neck/back yesterday and can hardly move. Is it nasty that I laughed at him a minute ago as he looked like a robot?

 

[cmp1111]

CE - Glad the books arrived! Did the cable guy?

Yeah, but he can't figure it out either. We're special! (Seriously, no one knows how this is happening on only the Nick shows, and no one has any idea how to fix it.)

I didn't even watch the game last night

I stayed up the whole time, you didn't miss much.

So, my mom. It's the same old thing...
That's all I want to say because I just don't want to spend any of my time on her. I guess I just can't have a relationship with her. I need to focus on my kids and what they need.

Oh, honey. That's got to be so hard.

Even less awesome. And I feel your pain on that one... Bonehead still says he's planning to take his half of winter break with Leo, but has NOTHING planned for how to do that. Grrrrrr.

Morning! Started the day with a raging sinus headache... again... but it's starting to settle with some help form my good friends Sudafed and Advil. FYI, my BP upon waking was 144 / 92. I decided not to take the Synthroid after that.

In other news Leo Skyped with his dad last night and Bonehead never said a word to him about the handmade birthday card Leo sent him last week. He worked hard on it and was so excited to drop it in the mail.

Ugh on both counts.

Sounds hectic and your day has only just begun! Hope you have a good day as well CE!

Thanks, it's been OK.

How strange but glad he felt better.

He was fine all day, too. Don't know what that was.

Good for you for working out though.

Thanks! With my tennis today, that's 4 in a row!

Well golf didn't go so well today, we lost, but only just, one of the ladies was horrid though, she was so nasty to her partner they literally had a verbal fight in the middle of the game She was about 50 whereas her partner is only 20 and it was like they were Mother and DD Anyway we can beat them when they play at our course

They got in a fight, really? I'm sure you'll get them next time.

Yeah I made it all up You know what I'm talking ABOUT RIGHT?

*******************************************************
So, I accidentally stopped by home on the way from tennis (turned down my street by habit ) and decided to stop for 30 seconds as I had forgotten a regular bra and wasn't thrilled about the soppy sports bra under my street clothes. Anyway, when I came in, I saw the message light blinking and turns out my co-chair's son still stayed home sick today. So, I went in anyway, verified set up with the custodian, got some pointers from a former chair, and that was that.

My co-chair called in whilst I was there to see if it was OK if she and her son came AFTER school, since he's no longer feverish - just not a 24 hour free time yet - and they said OK, but her older daughter has a research project that she needed to supervise first. So, I'm waiting to see if she calls to say she's heading in - if so, I'll join her. D's home. If not, we have all school day tomorrow to set up (or, I do, if her son's not ready) and the good news is that where I thought we had to deconstruct every night, we don't. So, if we get set up tonight or tomorrow, we're mostly set for the week. Only some things get put away nightly, like the stupid little pens and pencil toppers and so forth.

Anyway, I've not heard from her yet, but we'll see. The older DD's probably only been home for about a half hour at this point. I don't know whether I should go over without her or not. On the one hand, it would be nice to get it started, on the other I don't want to leave her out, and I don't want to make decisions alone about what to put on display tables and so forth. She has some stuff she wants to decorate with, too, which she has to bring in.

OK, I have to do something, I think, whether it be here or at school. Have a good late afternoon!

 

[lazydoxy66]

HI!!!
I thought I stop by real quick.

Dawn, I'm sorry that your mom is such a butt. Makes me glad I don't have one.

Jo, I forgot to tell you, Scott did not try for the Mom's panel. He didn't think he should with the new job and all.

Rosie - I did read all the potty and church humor on Jordan's PTR.

Hugs to everyone else. Thanks for the compliments on the wreath.

I'm pretty sure I won't have time to mess on the computer that much. I desperately need to stay caught up on the PTR/TR action over here! There are so many good ones.

30 days!

Great, hope you get to set it all up tonight

Jo, I forgot to tell you, Scott did not try for the Mom's panel. He didn't think he should with the new job and all.

Oh, he emailed me a couple of times in August and I was sure he was applying, pity he didn't as I know there is a gay Disney mad guy in the telephone finals and it could have been him!

 

[TEminnie]

An angry gay guy........or a crazy gay guy?? .......


how many get into the telephone finals?

 

[DisneyJo]

Crazy about Disney guy and I'm not sure but last year we believe it was 32 for 16 panellists, so as there are 10 spots we're guessing 20 finallists, we know 16 of them

 

[TEminnie]

Ah! Never quite sure how you mean mad! I only use it for "angry" !

How do you know them?

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

You'll get them next time. I can't believe they would argue like that on the course though.

BA is up watching TV so that's good. The medicine lowered her fever 3 degrees so I'm keeping that going.

Yeah I made it all up You know what I'm talking ABOUT RIGHT?

I don't and I'm nibby. PM me when you see this.

Her email today was so full of hate and lies that I am officially done with her. I forwarded the e-mail to K and he's going to deal with her. I don't want to talk to her, see her or let my kids go with her. I can't trust her. Clearly she's off her rocker.

I'm so sorry Dawn. Your right you are much better off with out all that drama in your life. Good luck to K with dealing with her.

I saw about the daycare being closed. That's great that they are being so diligent, but man it really jmesses with the schedule

Especially when they let you know last minute like they did to me. I just took the day off for today but I'm hoping to get to class tomorrow since it's only a morning class.

I reeeeeeally need to start Christmas shopping. My kids haven't asked for anything major. Maddie got an American Girl doll and a DSi for her birthday, so she's pretty much set. Evan wants LEGOs, which are pretty simple. I think I'd rather buy toys for donation this year. My kids simply don't NEED more toys, KWIM?

Hope everyone enjoys their Thursday!

I'm pretty much done with Lindsey and DR for Christmas shopping. The only thing I need to get Linds is a DS and a few games and some DVD's for DR and then I'm done.

That's really great about the Browine troop.

So sad about the shooting at Ft. Hood, TX.

OK, I have to do something, I think, whether it be here or at school. Have a good late afternoon!

Hope you got everything worked out and was able to get something set up.

30 days!

******************************************************

DR and I went to Target this afternoon. I got some of the things on Lindsey's Christmas list and only have 1 more thing to go for her.

I also bought a bunch of stuff I don't need.

After we got home my dad and I went and picked Linds up from school and then headed to Lowe's and picked a paint color for the kithchen. It's currently a peachy/pink color and I've always hated it so we are changing it to a charcoaly blue. We're also putting a tile backsplash in and picked out tiles for that. The last thing would be to replace the cracked tiles on the floor but that might have to wait until spring.

We had dinner out and celebrated Lindsey's good grades and good parent/teacher conference.

I'm hoping to get to class tomorrow since it's in the morning and my dad will be home painting so DR will be able to stay with him. If not I have to go over to Walmart for a few things and then maybe head out to the mall for a few things as well.

So I talked with my ex regarding the hotel he will be staying at with the kids and where it was at in Pittsburgh. I went online to look it up and check it out. OMG! All I have to say to him and his girlfriend is good luck and have fun with the kids in that little teeny tiny room for 5 days and 5 nights.

I'm about to put the kids to bed and then watch my Thursday night shows...CSI and The Mentalist. Real Housewives of OC starts tonight along with the reunion of Atlanta. My DVR will be working over time tonight.

 

[cmp1111]

30 days!

Yippee!!

Great, hope you get to set it all up tonight

We got everything but the "pretty table displays" which do have to come down every night, we think. So, that's good. The bad news is her kid finally spiked a high fever, so she's probably not coming tomorrow. But, we got so much done that I think I'm OK with that.

I'm pretty much done with Lindsey and DR for Christmas shopping. The only thing I need to get Linds is a DS and a few games and some DVD's for DR and then I'm done.

No offense, but I think I hate you. JK, of course, but I haven't even begun to think of anything yet.

It's currently a peachy/pink color and I've always hated it so we are changing it to a charcoaly blue. We're also putting a tile backsplash in and picked out tiles for that. The last thing would be to replace the cracked tiles on the floor but that might have to wait until spring.

That sounds nice! Pictures when you're done?

My DVR will be working over time tonight.

Mine, too. And since Comcast didn't replace the baseball on the schedule, I can't record Bones, as it doesn't show up in the guide. I have had it paused for 35 minutes now, waiting for D to be ready to watch it, because we can't record it. Sigh. Because the baseball was going to overlap CSI and The Office, I can't even do it manually - it just freaks out.

Tonight I regret that we've more or less given up booze on weeknights. It's not been a bad thing, but I could use a glass of wine, and we don't have any. I guess I could have a beer, but it doesn't sound appealing.
