I think the boards are a bit wonky tonight. I couldn't get on when I first got home and considering the few posts from tonight I'm betting that others are having difficulty.
Speaking of Wonky...Has anyone heard from Clare. Everytime that word comes up I think of Clare
I am always venting to friends. It's a good outlet for me, especially when xh2b does something that really ticks me off. The only thing that really upsets me anymore is when it seems like he doesn't put the kids first. Or when he says something stupid like "I'm entitled to have the kids for holidays too. It's my right."
When he is the one working 12 hr. days (including commute), coming home and fixing dinner, shuttling the kids to activities, getting their homework done, bathing them and putting them to bed, and starting all over the next day, then he can talk to me about rights! Things like that are what stresses me out. But now that soccer is over and school is winding down it won't be so bad for me. But it will start all over again in the fall, with 2 in school now. Also, it's good to have Bob to talk to since he's recently been through this too. He gives me the 'guy' perspective, and since he can rationalize things without being emotional involved, sometimes he can help me to see other sides of things. Ok, vent over. Thanks for asking, Glynis.
all around. I was trying to catch up last night, and about that time the boards were going nuts, and I lost my long multi-quote response. So, know that I was thinking of you, but I'm not about to retype all that! 
Just popping on to say "hi", and
Work is really starting to heat up - our first interns arrive next Monday, ugh. It's a marathon of meetings leading up to next week, too, plus my parents are coming in this weekend, so I need to clean the guest bathroom since we just repainted (again), etc. Plus, the weather stinks, and the thunderstorms woke me up last night. I'm with you guys, Marci and Elizabeth - we need the rain, but I could do without the severity (and the humidity).
But, on a brighter note, I ordered a laptop last week, and saw this morning that it has shipped - I may get it as early as Friday! We also got our MNSSHP and MVMCP tickets yesterday, and are officially under the 200 mark for our Dec. trip!
Have a great day, all - I'll try to pop back on later today!
Which is why the one on the website is still there. She's not our kitty. There were 2 kittens that had almost identical markings, but one had some little bald patches on her face. We chose the one without the bald patches. The poor foster mom has been trying to get it sorted out as to which cat is actually our cat. So that's one issue.
AHA! Fantasia Gardens - located behind the Dolphin!
You're a sweetheart, Becky.
I wish I was closer, I'd watch your kids for you or something to give you a break.
Hi Lindsay! I forgot to ask......how was Hawaii?? (I know, stupid question.Just popping on to say "hi", and

That kitty sure is loved!!Well, oops. After I fired off my not-so-nice e-mail the foster mom called me. Turns out they wrote us up for the WRONG kitty!
The next issue is she said the vet who used to do their spays was just fired and replaced by 2 other vets. The one vet she doesn't care for at all, the other vet is a bit of a butcher. I told her I want the kitty released to us and spayed at our vet. She just called back to say they DO have permission to release the kitty to us, but we will be responsible for the cost of the spay. That will make DH really mad, but that's life. This way we get our kitty this week and we can take her to our vet who we know and trust.
What a bunch of drama for one kitty!
I can't imagine how scary this was for you. I, too, am thankful that you, your family and your house are all safe. I'm sure Elin can sympathize with you.
