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!

STEFFY,

Congratulations! That is wonderful news..Enjoy your new grandson!

I just wanted to tell everyone I think I might have met our server too busy in real life today
We went to lunch and our server came over after we had been seated 5 minutes to get our drink order....thought he would save some time and got our lunch order also. Someone else brought our order out. Saw him as he was hurrying by us "Howseverythinggood?" then after flagging him down for a box and our ticket sat for another 5 minutes waiting for him to pick up "haveagreatafternoonbye".

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.

Grace missed school all last week, vomiting, fever,tired, achy. 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.

My paycheck is gonna be nothing! I have missed 6 days of work now! Fortunately they are great about understanding. I work at school with mostly women!

Kate gave a great run down of our weekend. Things were I think that hits all the emotions.

Finally after about my 6th load of sheets (so much sickness at my house). I Ran out of Clorox wipes and finished off my 1st of 3 big cans of Lysol. I leaned up against DH and I think I just need to get it all out. Then I felt better, got up cleaned up the kitchen and moved on!

Today, things look brighter and I am off to Atlanta Bread to get the girls some lunch. Grace has gotten so thin from being sick that her pants are falling down! (Oh to have such a problem!)

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and ! It really made me feel warm and

I am thinking about all of you this week and wishing you all happiness.

Nancy

Hope things are on the upswing for you!!

Are your kids home from school -- a snuggle with them maybe? How about listening to your favorite Disney song? or would that be worse because you'd want to be at WDW?


We're all here to "listen".

Kristine:

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I quite often have those days. Especially now that we're back from WDW. I don't have a solution, but just know I can sympathize with you.

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.

I think that it looks really cute! Great choice.

I definitely have days like that..... but unfortunately I don't know a cure! Hang in there, and let us know if you need anything!

Marti and Amy-- HaPpY BeLaTeD BiRtHdAy!!!

You're actually early! They celebrate tomorrow, so you've got it taken care of!

 

[tink2020]

Only 25 posts until 2000! Crazy!

Will it be today or tomorrow......???? That's just plain silly how likely that actually is. I love you guys!

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.

That is so sweet!! I'm glad that you had a nice birthday.

Well the meds aren't kicking in.
I still feel like c***.
So I'm turning in early.
Night all.

Feel better!

Congratulations to you all, Steffy! It's always a good day when daddy doesn't faint.

Ok, between the server and our internet, I'm going nuts! I don't think I'll be back on until later tonight. We have our LAST residency dinner tonight (woohoo!)! And it's here... so I just drive over the river, eat a free dinner and come home. No hotels, no long drives.... just fun and free food

Have a good night, and I'll catch up with you all soon!

I've been having the same server/internet problems here and it's about to drive me . Today was the worst as I couldn't log on to work for about 3 hours. Now suddenly it is working and hasn't slowed once so I'm hoping the message we got from Comcast that they had located the problem means that they have also solved it.

Oh, how I wish I had the answer to this problem. On days like this, it is good to just take some "me" time. Go shopping, take a long relaxing bath, veg in front of the tv, lock yourself in the bedroom with a good book. Like that song goes..."I just want to be mad for awhile." Sometimes we need those kind of days to rejuvenate ourselves. I hope this passes quickly for you.
