Team Focker Watch - Version 8: When V's Away.. The "Katt" will Play

[Disneyland_Mama]

The DLR trip hasn't been in our thoughts at all lately. Right now it's more of just trying to get through each day. I forgot to post this earlier, but MIL did not come home from the hospital today. Hopefully tomorrow. She's still very very dizzy when standing and can't walk much without a lot of pain, so they decided she needed to stay another day.

Oh no! I hope she gets to come home soon!

I know what you mean about staying longer, but DH's work is paying for the flight, so I guess we'd better at least go to the party on Saturday night in San Diego, right?

No comment.

I'm kidding, of course.

 

[sorul82?]

Picture time!

Here's my ornament from Kat!

gingerbread tree in the kitchen:

living room tree(I think I need a do-over with the presents and curtain up):

sports tree (notice the Mickey basketball on top):

 

[cmp1111]

I'm gonna start gluing my crap down around here so stuff stops disappearing. My 1st 3-pack of tape and boxes ended up upstairs. I went up to yell at somebody and instead I get, "look mommy, we made Disney World."

Oh, dear. How sweet. And yet...

I just had an e-mail about an article about the Moms Panel on Mickeys Mom Club, it had the group photo and then listed all the panellists except me!!!!!! They're sorting it out

Maybe you're not official. And yet, you've had a free trip and a stay in the castle, so it's not so bad to not be official. No, honey, I am sure they'll work it out, and you are fantastic.

When I got home Jimmy was so excited becasue he got a medal at school for completing the 100 book challenge! He was so proud of himself!

Good job, Jimmy!

Just back from the grocery store !!How's this for a deal !! Bill $49 paid $11!
and I used 0 c/os !! Had a certificate for a Free half ham from Labor?Management at my one job and a $25 gift card from the other !!So we have our New Years Ham and our Christmas blue cheese salad fixings and the french fries for our OH so untraditional Christmas Dinner !!

Good deals, Rosie!

so he can help cause I am gonna poop out real soon at this rate!

No surgery until we run some more tests. But, he thinks we can wait for a while. He's going to do an MRI and such. The reason he thinks we can wait on surgery is because he doesn't think ALL of Jon's pain is due to his orthopedic issues. He thinks Jon may have rheumatoid arthritis...for several reasons. Or some other rheumatological condition. So, we'll be off to see a ped. rheumatologist.

I'm tired. And I'm taking an emotional check-out for a few days.

As soon as I gather my thoughts, I'll tell you more.

We're going to the movies tonight. Nice break, I say!

Tata for now.

to all.

Oh, honey. No answers yet? I hope all is OK. Love you.

All my cards- Thanks Fockers!

Look, I see me!

LazyD quote for the day: Cookin' and sex got at least one thing in common - If it don't get messy you ain't doin' it right!

CE - Love your house and the snow!!!!

Thanks! I like my house, even though it's not big and fancy.

Been working on my August trip ... idle hands and all. Here's the ADR's I'm considering ... we'll be on ding dang DDP. Any thoughts?

Chef Mickey's - Evan's birthday dinner
Sc-Fi Dine In
Tutto Italia
Tusker House
O'Hana - dinner
Spoodles - brother requested this place... AGAIN!
Kona Cafe - breakfast (I'm hooked on this place)

It all sounds pretty good to me!

CE - got my ornament today! The girls (and I) loved it and found a perfect place on the tree for it immediately. I'll try to remember to post a pic tomorrow!

Oh, I'm so glad. The darn package hasn't gotten to TN yet, but I'm glad that this worked! I felt it was fockerific.

I just read about a little girl named Hannah Garman whose dying wish is to receive cards.


I double checked on snopes, and unfortunately it is true.

So if you can find the time, pop a card in the mail and we can give her a big Focker hug!

I got Rachel, Jodi, & Z's cards today - thanks, ladies!

Oh Good!!! I was worried they wouldn't get delivered until after Christmas.

Z- I don't remember seeing those pics. He's a cutie! Thank you for the adorable card, BTW.

Uhhh I think I posted the cruise one, but the other ones were from my bday and don't think I posted them before. Thanks though, he's a good guy.

I'm glad your card made it too!!!

I'm gonna start gluing my crap down around here so stuff stops disappearing. My 1st 3-pack of tape and boxes ended up upstairs. I went up to yell at somebody and instead I get, "look mommy, we made Disney World."

awwww

Oh, good, now I can take off my booty kickin pants.

Awwww you look so happy

Thanks

I guess I'll put my butt kickin pants back on.

This made me

Glad the first night of Chanukah went well.

Great deal Rosei!

LOL Congrats....nice pics of you and the BF, BTW!

Thanks!

Sorry you're in cookie h*ll, but they look very good and yummy!

Hi ladies.

Just wanted to update you really quickly on Jon.

I hope they can get a diagnoses down pat.

Ask the dr's if it's ok for kids to take Cataflam. But the brand name version not the generic. It's very pricey, but my mom was having all kinds of joint pains all over her body and my grandmother had pain from arthritis and they both started taking that and it alleviated their pain.

What's up homies?

Been working on my August trip ... idle hands and all. Here's the ADR's I'm considering ... we'll be on ding dang DDP. Any thoughts?

I've got a $25 AirTran coupon if anyone wants it - travel before April 29, book before Jan. 2nd.

Hey T!

Sci-Fi is cute to do, don't think I'll do it again.
O'hana
Kona
Tutto Italia was good, but they tend to make their pasta al dente.

Oh Jodie I hope she gets to be home for the holidays.

Well...we's back from the movies.

What'd you see??

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Ok I was going to post my tree pics, but photobucket is down.

The boyfriend did help out with the tree though.

Then my friend's BIL's bday was today and she invited us. So we went roller skating. OMG!! I haven't done this in like 10 yrs and I forgot!
I felt so uncoordinated out there and I used to be so good. It was lots of fun even though I did fall once. I think we'll be doing it again and it's actually some good exercise.

 

[princessjv]

I'm up late. I can't sleep. We got news that Emilie is going faster than anyone ever thought. My heart is just broken. I can't believe she is dying and leaving her wonderful husband and 2 babies. Why! It is not fair. She is not ready to die. They need her.

peace.


I'm going to go back track and read the thread and hope that I can fall asleep soon. My little "brother" flies home tomorrow AM from Chile. I need to leave for the airport by 9.

 

[DisneyJo]

I guess I'll put my butt kickin pants back on.

They're still trying to prove your Brit aren't they!

Obviously And congrats to Jimmy on his medal he looks so proud in the photo!

Oh for Pete's sake.

It was a simple mistake, because my surname begins with Y I was the only name to go onto the second page of the e-mail and I got missed!

Well I am oficially in cookie h-e-double-hockey-sticks! I have spent about 2 and change hours and only made the choc and reg sugar cookies! Needless to say my back hurts and I am taking a rest! Plus

Just wanted to update you really quickly on Jon.

Pics, Pics and more pics..............

As normal Kat I can't see your photos, I'll try later!

Hope she can be released today

Picture time!

Wow you have a lot of trees!

Maybe you're not official. And yet, you've had a free trip and a stay in the castle, so it's not so bad to not be official.

Yep I don't think they'll let me be unofficial after having the trip

So we went roller skating. OMG!! I haven't done this in like 10 yrs and I forgot!

OMG I haven't been on skates in years either, don't think it would be a pretty sight

I'm up late. I can't sleep. We got news that Emilie is going faster than anyone ever thought. My heart is just broken. I can't believe she is dying and leaving her wonderful husband and 2 babies. Why! It is not fair. She is not ready to die. They need her.

peace.

Oh Jen I'm so so sorry I hope for her families sake she can make it through Christmas, hope you get some sleep too



I've got to clean today and the girls are going to help I can't believe it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, where has the time gone?

 

[askelton]

I think I have a case of the holiday blues. It almost seems like the holidays got harder this year. Now with my grandparents not making it up I am almost dreading Christmas day. Christmas eve I am excited because KC's boss does a traditional night and then we come home and do gifts that night. But traveling to Long Island for the day just seems less appealing, of course I can't stay home so we'll go, but I feel meh about it. I guess I just miss my mom, and its always worse at the holidays.

I feel so bad complaining about my family when you wish you had yours.

Such a cute picture!

I'm gonna start gluing my crap down around here so stuff stops disappearing. My 1st 3-pack of tape and boxes ended up upstairs. I went up to yell at somebody and instead I get, "look mommy, we made Disney World."

You've taught them well!

Oh, good, now I can take off my booty kickin pants.

I just had an e-mail about an article about the Moms Panel on Mickeys Mom Club, it had the group photo and then listed all the panellists except me!!!!!! They're sorting it out

Don't they know who you are!

I guess I'll put my butt kickin pants back on.

I am home and officially on vacation until Monday

Whoohooty!

When I got home Jimmy was so excited becasue he got a medal at school for completing the 100 book challenge! He was so proud of himself!

Awesome! Reading rocks!

They conned us into two gifts a piece. They get that from hubby's side of the family.

They are just getting into the holiday spirit!

No surgery until we run some more tests. But, he thinks we can wait for a while. He's going to do an MRI and such. The reason he thinks we can wait on surgery is because he doesn't think ALL of Jon's pain is due to his orthopedic issues. He thinks Jon may have rheumatoid arthritis...for several reasons. Or some other rheumatological condition. So, we'll be off to see a ped. rheumatologist.

I love the look on his face!

I wish I could say something to ease your pain over your momma. I'm missin' my dad. I think that is part of why I want to get the heck out of Dodge for the Holiday. I just have an empty spot in my heart, ya know. Not having him around for Christmas and New Year's just isn't right.

He's so cute! Good for him!

I might try to slip in a girls only trip in there somewhere if one is planned!

Yes, yes, yes!

I forgot to post this earlier, but MIL did not come home from the hospital today. Hopefully tomorrow. She's still very very dizzy when standing and can't walk much without a lot of pain, so they decided she needed to stay another day.

I hope she can come home today.

Oh my gosh! I haven't skated in years either, but you're right, I'm sure it would be fun.

I know!

Jen, I'm so sorry! Wish I had words to comfort you.

~~~~~~~
I'm up way too early today. The DDs got up early (as usual) and had a problem with the TV, so they woke me up to fix it. I'm seriously thinking about heading back to bed. But then I take a look at my house and all the things I have to do before Christmas Eve and think maybe I should just stay up.

I ordered a jacket for my Dad on Dec 8th and it hadn't arrived yet, so I decided on Sunday to check online to see if it had been shipped. When I checked the status of my order, it said "cancelled." Apparently they sold out of the size I ordered and the notification email they say that they sent to me must have gone to my spam filter. So, I have to find something for my dad now. Really wasn't planning on shopping today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[rachel3]

Last night was a horribly long night with Jon. His feet were hurting him so badly after walking around the botanical gardens. We should have brought his walking cast...of course he can't walk in it. I can't wait for the doc this afternoon.

i hope he';s better today!

We're off to Costco to battle the crowds. Southern hospitality goes out the window at this time of year. Wish me luck.

and good luck!!!

Our wintery weather continues , It is bitterly cold here

it's cold here too . it as 0 sunday night. but , of course it's supposed to warm up for christmas eve . and i so much wanted snow!!

Well about 100 dozen cookies later

, but how much of an exaggeration???

D is on the plane, so hopefully he'll be home in time for that.

glad his flight wasn't cancelled!!! i'm sure you were starting to get a little worried.

Good Morning Everyone. Jim woke me out of a dead sleep with his snoring at 4AM

wow, that must be some loud snoring!

I am work today, but it is my last day until next Monday

yipeee!!!

I'm fixin to head out to buy more gift tags and light bulbs...and superglue.

superglue??? do i even dare ask???

Superglue. Should I ask WHAT are you doing with it?

exactly what i was thinking!!

I'm taking a teeny tiny break from cleaning and then I'm off to bake. Well pseudo-bake - all my cookies are from a bag mix, oh and I bought sugar cookie dough, lots of squeeze frosting, sprinkly thinga mabobs, and some cookie cutters. Should be a fun afternoon.

i'm a pseudo baker too!!!

 

[rachel3]

Yay Rach! I hope your move goes smoothly.

When I got home Jimmy was so excited becasue he got a medal at school for completing the 100 book challenge! He was so proud of himself!

We are very busy and very cold here. But no snow. Just a lot of wind. Which just makes the cold colder. We did Chanukah tonight with the kids. They conned us into two gifts a piece. They get that from hubby's side of the family.

I hope you all are getting to enjoy the holiday's!

[HomeschoolMama]

We're having PJ Day today. Five bucks says I'll get antsy and find a reason to leave the house.

I'm mostly anxiously awaiting my Paypal transfer to get to my bank so I can order some school stuff I need.


Once K gets home today, he's off until Monday.
