I was on the DIS for many years and had accumulated only a little over 200 posts until you all came along. I also felt as if I only read and then responded infrequently.
You all have been a bright spot in the past few months for meand I have loved getting to know you as friends.

Then on Saturday, started with the hives. I had new detergent from Sam's CLub (300 oz). I put her in clothes from the old detergent and gave her some Benedryl and the hives disappeared. On Sunday they reappeared anyway. She fell asleep. I drug the detergent back to Sams and got my Money back. I bought Tide Free (no perfumes, dyes etc.). When she woke up the Hives were back. Today she only has one or 2 bumps and feels tons better. Let's hope she goes back to school tomorrow. 
I think that hits all the emotions. I think I just need to get it all out. Then I felt better, got up cleaned up the kitchen and moved on!
! It really made me feel warm and 
That's too cute.Glynis said:Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! You'll never know how much you brightened my day! All things considered, this has been a great birthday. It started actually yesterday, with my kids throwing me a surprise party!They blindfolded me and took me to the living room where they had made a poster saying "Happy Birthday, Mommy! We love you! Then they all signed (or scribbled) something for me. Then I got my "presents." Each child had taken a toy out of their toybox and wrapped them up for me. Picture, if you will, a small stuffed Blue wrapped in about half a roll of wrapping paper. That's what all 4 gifts looked like. I was trying so hard not to laugh as I could tell they had worked their little hearts out on this "party." After presents, DS brought me a bag of baby carrots, since I can't have cake, and DD #1 threw handfuls of confetti on me. This was homemade confetti, made by ripping pieces of paper into miniscule bits. Then for the showstopping finale, they brought out a pinata they had made. It looked like a blob of more wrapping paper, tied tightly shut with yarn, and then tied to my broom. DH held it up while each child tried to hit it with a small plastic bat. It made very suspicious noises as they hit it, and imagine our surprise when it finally burst and some very crushed pretzel sticks fell to the floor. The kids were so excited to have done this very grown up thing, and truth be told, I was extremely touched.
Then DH took me out for dinner. Nothing fancy, just a steak. I ate 3 bites of steak, 2 small shrimp, and 3 broccoli florets, and was full. It's funny, I used to hate going out to eat, because I imagined that the wait staff was judging me on what I ordered. Now I hate to go out to eat, because the wait staff always looks at me in disbelief as I ask for a to go box. Last night, the waiter, looked at my plate, then at me and said, "Was there something wrong with the food?" I had to explain about my new tummy, and then he got it! I just can't win!
Today at church, I was bombarded by people wishing me happy birthday. I even got complimented when someone asked how it felt to finally turn 31. What a great feeling!
After church, the kids decided they needed birthday cake. So, I ended up making myself a birthday cake that I couldn't eat, and then cleaning up after it! At least they enjoyed the cake. DH bought a new freezer, and a new refrigerator/freezer a couple of weeks ago, so that is what I claim as my real presents. Then he tells me that he wants to get me a gift certificate to a day spa, but he wants me to pick out the treatments that I want. I've never done anything like that, so I don't know what I want. Suggestions, anyone?
Well, that's it from birthday land. Again, thanks for all the birthday wishes. You guys sure know how to make someone feel special.
Steffy said:Well, I wanted to catch up before I posted my good news. I was blessed with another grandson Sunday morning!
He weighed in at 6 lbs 13 ounces, 20.5 inches long. Lots of hair. Baby and Mom are doing great. My son didn't faint, so it was a good day.
I'm off to take the grandpug the kennel, so I can go back to the hospital and play with the baby.
The first thing I told him we were going to Disney in May 2007!
Congratulations.
Nancy - It sounds like you had an awful weekend. I am hoping that the detergent was the cause of the hives, and not some other problem. That is something that I've never experienced, and hope I don't have to. It makes me feel better just to have a good cry every now and again too, especially when the stress is really taking it's toll. It's really the only release us mom's have. Hope things are getting better for you!Princess Nancy said:Kate and the rest of our families are home and I am here with 2 sick kids. Fortunately Jim went back to work after lying around here Sat. night and all day Sunday. Megan spent all day Sunday throwing up. Grace slept all day. She had hives. It was awful.

I hope your family gets feeling better and you don't get sick. I use ALL Free & Clear w/ allergen reducer. I have 2 DS's with similar problems with detergents. Also, I was told by allergist to avoid dryer sheets (like Bounce).

So what do you all think of the tatto I picked out?
Haven't gotten it yet.
I want to wait a while to make sure this is the pose & design I can live with.
About this size.
Thinking about right low calf close to my angle.
