Good Morning Losers
I just woke up and do feel better. I guess it was from being up and out for to long. I am so not telling warden John. Shore I see you had a busy Saturday. Just as long as they are all there and ready to get to work so people like me can have there crab. As for working with MIL bless you. If I had to work with John's mother in would be in jail.

 

[LUVMYTINK]

And Tink - what do you mean about clean clothes?

Those are the ones that have been waiting forever to be folded.

shopping!

I need to go shopping, but not for fun stuff, just groceries. I hate grocery shopping.

I think the stomach thing has run its course. I'm trying to sanitize my house. I'll be back.

Godd morning Losers!!

I had coffee and cupcakes for breakfast, so I am off to a great start. I had to come up to the computer and look up the kids school schedule for the rest of the year, I just realized I have an incorrect one and have been basing a spring surprise trip to that "other" park on the wrong schedule.. Doesn't matter, I am taking them out of school for a day..YEAH, HEAR THAT EVERYONE..I'M TAKIN' THE KIDS OUTTA SCHOOL, MAYBE NOT THE HALF DAY I WAS THINKING, MAYBE A WHOLE DAY, AND I AM GONNA SEND IN A SICK NOTE TO EXCUSE THEM....

Ok, now I feel better..

Shore, I am like JJ, I can hardly wait for the "Mexicans Come to Maryland to Pick Crabs" stories...

Shay, I'm glad you are feeling better...don't tell John and maybe he will feel sorry enough for you to bake the cupcakes..my next trip up here I will post the recipe.

RVGal, glad your bug was only an overnight guest..

Pac, Welcome, you are gonna blend in here just fine...we LOVE MIL stories...Shay has some good ones, maybe we can have a contest! I can't play, my MIL lives in Michigan and we never see her. She is the type that does NOT want to stick her nose into others business. The only thing is that she is a long phone call...when we get on the phone, it's at least 45 minutes...and I HATE talking on the phone.

Well, I need to get a good copy of the kids schedule...Then I am off to check out the CVS ad, and back over to IAHD's thread about it. I am hooked on that "scam" or whatever you want to call it... I jut like to spend money, and if if doesn't cost me anything, all the better!!


DH and the boys come home today. I screwed up with their food big time. I was so proud of myself, I bought them Subway subs on Friday to have for lunch Saturday..they were on sale $5 for a foot long..They wouldn't have to fuss with anything, they would be ready to eat. Well, when I packed the cooler at the last minute, you can guess what happened. I took the boys downtown to DH's work with their gear so they could leave right from there..I came home, opened the fridge, not only were the subs sitting right there, but also the chocolate bars for their Somemore's that I wanted to keep from melting..NOW THAT IS A LOSER MOM, FOLKS!!

Luckily I had over packed a lot of other stuff -breakfast foods, so for lunch they had bagels, banannas, chocolate milk boxes, cereal...enough, but I was so sad when I had to call DH to tell him that I still had the subs. He was very nice about it, he really doesn't care what he eats..and the boys didn't seem to care either. But everytime I open the fridge and see those subs, or the ad comes on TV, I send myself on a guilt trip..

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

For Kellie and the rest of you losers, too...


The recipe for the frosting makes a BUNCH of it..I think it's almost double what it needs to be. And it is very soft, not like a glaze, but very soft. I was going to put more powdered sugar in mine, but didn't want to make it too sweet. It is fine, just soft...refrigeration may help..

YEAH! It's nap time!!!

I've been busy all morning. Church, let the kids cook pancakes, took them outside and had them "help" me with some yardwork, went to the grocery store, came home and made an experimental lunch...it was really good and a "1" in terms of difficulty...we made peperoni pizza rolls. Then I did the dishes (loaded the dishwasher) and got the kids down for nap. The boy went down in about 20 minutes...not bad for no binkies.

Now I'm gonna quick catch up on my Dising and take a nap myself to try to get rid of this headache.

 

[DorkyDisneyMom]

And this was the winning argument...we're going to Chili's...bbl!

Glad I could be of service. We love Red Robin for the same reason, the louder the better.

If you only knew...

I've not been on the DIS when I was working. I just joined in November last year, and even though the factory was going, I wasn't working because I had pneumonia at the time.

Give me a little time, and I'll have co-worker stories to blow your mind.

Oh, and my MIL works for me, so I'll have a MIL/co-worker combo.

I am on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to hear about the crab picking Mexicans and the MIL.

Mandi, here is my bead. It's called Pandora Crown. I love the new beads for spring though. Oh my it's going to get expensive. http://www.pandoracharmbracelets.co...d=28033008123502427&site_id=4&category_id=107

Kellie, I'm glad you are feeling better.

Tricia, I am glad the family is feeling better too

PAC, Welcome to the club.


Nothing major shaking today. I have to get ready for the Autism conference tomorrow. I get to stay overnight in the fancy hotel without the kids or hubby. I will be staying with Mr. Middle's service coordinator. We had a great time last year. My head was spinning form all the information. I'm sure this year will be no different. Other than that I have nothing else.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Hey everybody!!

We're eating crabs today!! DH is getting ready to cook them. But I need to clear off the table before we can actually eat. So I guess I should get busy.

What I really want is a nap.

I'll make a deal. If someone can come over and clean off the table while I take a nap, they can have my share of the crabs!

 

[mdrob214]

shopping!

Yay for you! That would be one of my nightmares--a shopper I am not (except for Target--I like that place)

Good Morning Losers
I just woke up and do feel better. I guess it was from being up and out for to long. I am so not telling warden John.

Glad to hear it's nothing serious. Take it easy today, but whatever you do, don't let him know he may have been right!!!!

I I am taking them out of school for a day..YEAH, HEAR THAT EVERYONE..I'M TAKIN' THE KIDS OUTTA SCHOOL, MAYBE NOT THE HALF DAY I WAS THINKING, MAYBE A WHOLE DAY, AND I AM GONNA SEND IN A SICK NOTE TO EXCUSE THEM....

Ok, now I feel better..

But everytime I open the fridge and see those subs, or the ad comes on TV, I send myself on a guilt trip..

Ok--take your kids out of school! You have our permission (as if you care )

Don't feel guilty about the subs. Look at it this way: you have dinner AND dessert covered for tonight--no cooking

Made my poor son (and DD) go to church with me today. He's 10 and you'd think I was torturing him. The child doesn't sit still well at all, which drives me nuts. I missed DH because he usually sits by him and keeps him from leaning on me a wiggling. He survived and they went to Sun School while I went to Target for a Starbucks and some shopping . What can I say--it's exciting here!

Oh--and I am still a dumb mom. We had tears over an 8th grade math assignment--she had to redo 9 problems she missed. I was told that I was wrong and she wasn't re-doing them. I was good, and told her "Fine, but you are sitting there until they are right--your choice!" She did them. WHY must I always remind her that I do actually have a math degree and know how to do HS Algebra???

I want that Meanest Mom award for the day. We should get one and award it to a new mom(dad) each day!

Crackin' crabs is too much work...I like mine already picked..can I borrow one of your workers?

I didn't mean to yell at anyone here..I was yelling so they could hear me on the Perfect Mom threads...

I like the way you think!

Ok but there's gonna be a fight over it, I just know it..

okay speaking of crazy people. John's mother of all mothers showed up.Johns brother told her that we are waiting to hear from the DR's if they got it all or if I will need to go back in for more surgery. Well the queen of mean has her medical opion of the whole thing. She said that if they need to go back in then maybe they have not done their job right. I want to slap her so bad. John Told her it was time for her to leave.She has no idea of what is going on. But then going out the door she told John if I look this bad before treatments then it is only going to get worse. So how much time would I get for killing the witch?

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

Well, they're back. Nothing says loving mother/son bonding like looking up the cracks of your 10 and 8 year olds' butts for insects... total count-3 ticks each. I love camping..

Kellie, I am serious when I ask this..Is she just a mean beeoch, or does she have a mental problem? She sounds like she is off kilter in a big way...Just my own medical opinion, of course..

If it is not all about her then she gets like this. She thinks at her age everyone should be all over her every need. I say she is crazy and not in a good way
John's brother got remarried two years ago and at the last minute she decied she was not going because he was not calling her enough the week before. I avoid her as much as I can. I have never gotten along with her. John does not even really get along with her.
