[Tammi67]

What a nice surprise. Having the dreaded household chores done is the best surprise I can think of. Way to go Melanie!!!

Deb

Looks like we are sharing tonight, Deb.

BTW, those are some great boys you are raising. You and Chris are doing a great job. Be proud of them!

Welcome back, Terry! I hope that you had a spectacular time at the shore!!

June, I hope things settle down for you now that the brief is almost finished. How nice to come home to a clean house and yard.

Okay DDA My family needs your prayers.

A little back ground. MY brother and his ex girl friend have a son together. she also had a son when she started dating my Brother. they broke up and she moved out in Dec. My mom watches the boys from 1:30 p.m. til my brother gets off work at arounf 5 p.m.
Well Monday night he stayed late at our parents house working on his truck. so my mom took him home to shower and then drove him over to her place so he could put the kids to bed. THe ex had to stay late at work because they were coming to wax the floor at the store and they had to do it after the store closed. so she got home around 2 am. My brother then walked the mile to his house. and went to bed. When my Dad went to pick him up yesterday morn. Their was a note taped to his door. It said for him to stay away from R**** and the kids or else.Well last night my mom took him by his house to turn on the AC before she took him to R's house with the boys. She gets home and he walks home. their is a note on his door again this one saying DO you know what I am going to do to you?About an hour later one of his friends called and he walked outside to talk on his cell phone to her because he does not get good reception in his house and their is another note taped to his door. This one said BOOM YOUR DEAD. after this one he finally called the cops. He told R**** about the first note and she said she would tell one of her cop friends about it. but he was off duty.
I am really worried about my brother. I am so hoping the cops find this person before he does. The cops said that these are considered terroistic threats.

I just hope the police catch who is doing that very soon. Very scary...

I seriously might be the world's worst mom

Tonight there was a deer in our backyard - and my kids got so excited that Bambi was actually in our yard - I asked him if they wanted him for a pet - and they said no

so at bedtime I told them if they didn't stay in bed - I was going to get Bambi to come stay with them in their rooms - Julia took it with a grain of salt but ran back up - Nick took off back upstairs as quick as I have ever seen him run

about 10 minutes later - Julia got out of bed and Nick got HYSTERICAL - "no - Mommy will get Bambi" Julia yells down - Mommy you can't get Bambi - he has a Mommy and Daddy waiting for him somewhere - I promised her I would not get Bambi

well I have traumatized Nick - he is in bed - has not moved and even after I told him that deers would be a horrible pet and that I would never bring a deer in our house

So I guess when Nick is an adult and has an unnatural fear of deer it will be all my fault!!! I thought they would think it was funny at the idea of having a deer for their pet/nanny - Julia actually did but poor little Nick is afraid Bambi will eat him!!!

I'm having a frustrating evening. My dd called me just before 6 and told me to watch the 6 PM news. There was another accident at Bike Week in Laconia, NH. Chris and I are planning to ride our motorcycles there on Saturday. My parents are now dead set against it and are "forbidding" me from riding my motorcycle there. I am 36 years old and never do anything the least bit dangerous. I can't believe the way that they are acting. Now they are making me feel like a bad parent if I go (you have children you should think about, if you have to go take your car) and if I don't go I will feel like I am letting my parents control my life. There have been 5 motorcycle deaths since bike week began and according to the news reports all 5 deaths we caused by careless motorcyclists crossing the center line and colliding with a car. Chris and I are both very cautious drivers and aren't concerned that we might crash. We are only going for the day. I have been in tears over this. Chris says the we don't have to go if I don't want too, but I do want to go. We would be joining one of the guys that he works with and his girlfriend and it sounds like a lot of fun. Are they over reacting, should I stay home and "safe"? WWYD?

Deb

Deb,

I know that when DH and I are out on the bike, he is very concerned and stays toward the middle line and is very aware of other drivers. I have told anyone concerned that it is something DH and I are doing that we both love and if anything would happen to us, well we were having the time of our lives.

Hunter just got home from school. The first thing he asked me was "Do you really think I did a good job last night". My answer was to read my post to him and all of your responses. This is Hunter now (minus a couple of teeth ) Thanks for helping make his day special.

Nick came home from school with a note today. My reaction was on no as school is out tomorrow, it must be bad right? Wrong. It was a note that he wrote to me thanking me for all I do for him. I absolutely didn't expect it. What a nice boy. So this is me (I have all my teeth )

Deb

Thanks Deb. I really needed a happy note!

I'm sorry Nick didn't find the humor in this..................











































but I sure think it is hysterical!!!!!

Sorry Kate, I really wanted to be supportive, but I just had to laugh.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Don't worry Tammi -

Steve and I are laughing about it too!!! But I feel horrible for how he reacted to it - I never thought that he would be so traumatized by it!!

And it was pretty effective at keeping him in bed!!!

 

[Steffy]

He didn't peek and he took first place in his heat ! I'll try to post a picture later.

WTG Christopher!!

[tinker1bell]

Okay. I need my DDA enablers, er friends right about now...

I'm having such a year. I need my Disney fix sooner than December. I really want to go in December to see the CP and Osborne Lights and MVMCP. But I need to get to Disney before then.

I wanted to go for tinker1bell's birthday again, but that is not to be...

I wanted to go for Food and Wine, but my coworker is going at that time, her first trip and she's taking her 92 y/o mom with her. So October is out. I won't go in July or August no way, no how.

So that leaves September. I could go for my birthday. (3rd week) I called DVC and booked a 2 bedroom villa. I hope that my DD and her family can come with me. I know that my sister could come with me.....

I would still have the family trip in May for my son's 10th wedding anniversary. I just don't think I can make it another 170 days. 93 sounds long enough!!!

What do you think???? Help me!!!

Stephanie,

You know my response. NOW NOW NOW. I want to go so bad.

 

[Steffy]

Don't worry Tammi -

Just part of being a parent Kate.... I used to just look at my husband and say...

and there's another thing the kids will be say during therapy.....

boy you should be a fly on the wall when they get together and talk about their childhood.....

One of the moms at swim team has a daughter named Caroline so I told her about our discussion last night. She said they used to live in Washington state and her daughter was often called Carolyn. She said since they moved home to La. it has never happened. Interesting!

I didn't know ya'll also did swim team!!! Do you have swim meets on Thursday nights??

My vote still goes for Caroline Elizabeth

Congrats on the 1st place ribbon. My boys really enjoy swim team. They enjoy team sports but I like it when they can excel in individual sports also. Alex's favorite are the rainbow ribbons. He gets them after a swim meet if he beats his own personal best time. Those he really loves!!
