Evening all. The glucose test went well until the veins in my right arm refused to cooperate. I got two sticks in the right one and one in the left. The left is a good bleeder, so it went pretty quickly. I did stop at Wal-Mart on my way home for toothpaste, a birthday card, and the TP Pop Culture 80s edition. We're going to have teams and play on Wed. after the kids are dismissed. We have to stay until 1:30, so we're going to have fun.
Robin - I'm glad your conferences went well. I'm planning on shopping for GLT on Friday. I'll let you know what I get. Do you think extra pjs would be a problem? I know I appreciate not having to do laundry all the time.
SL - I had to chuckle at your pizza party. Maybe if they threw in some soda and chips more people wouldn't jump ship?
Tamie - I can't wait to hear about your trip! Post lots of pics, too.
justthat - Is Henry feeling better?
J&D - I never really thought about my water breaking at school, but thanks for putting that thought into my head. They broke my water for me with Jimmy. I had such a good epi that I didn't even notice.
BnB - Glad the report card/play went well. I bet your DS is happy to have his video games back.
ff - I can only imagine what 30 years worth of bathroom gook smells like. Yikes! DH and I are going on a "date" to Home Depot on Wed. to pick out the stuff for our new bathroom. Our contractor doesn't really like Lowe's for some reason. I really don't care for HD. We'll see what we find.
Here's my thoughts on the whole gift exchange thing...Last year when I talked to DH about not doing this, he agreed with me. BUT when his sisters called and said we'd be pulling names, he caved. I got the brunt of it, of course. I tried to explain to them that it wasn't necessary for DH and me to get gifts (I usually get crap, btw). I was met with serious resistance and DH ended up buying the gifts.
DH and I can spare the $100. Two of his sisters, on the other hand, don't really have the money to buy the gifts. Also, one has three kids to buy for, and the other has two. The one with two has been living with MIL and FIL for two years now and works in a mini-market/gas station. From what one of her sisters tells me, she contributes nothing to MIL/FIL and has been spending her $$$ on all kinds of stuff since living there. Not saving, mind you, but living high on the hog. Another sister is divorced and works for AOL/Time Warner. She makes A LOT of $$$, so she could care less about buying for 6 kids and an adult. The last sister works for a pharm. company, as does her new DH (he's in mgt. there). Again, not a big deal for them to spend the $$$. I just don't see the significance of doing this. Like I said, and I'm not trying to come across as *itchy, my gifts usually suck. I put a lot of thought into the stuff I buy, and it's just been a waste. Plus, DH and his sisters usually go in on a big gift for their parents. Last year, however, AOL sister went on her own and bought them a weekend at the NASCAR race in Dover. I think DH got them a gift card to a furniture place, although they never got the new stuff they were talking about (maybe because their grandchildren crawl around the place and make a mess?)
I know how I sound, believe me. I'm just tired of having to give in to what they want to do.
ETA - I don't know if any of you recall me talking about the creepy dr. in my OB practice. He did my HSG test a few years ago, and I just didn't like him. There isn't a specific thing I can pinpoint, he just gives me the willies and I never saw him when I was pg with Jimmy. When they tried to schedule appointments with him, I politely asked for someone else. It happened again this summer. Again, I simply said I'd rather not see him, etc, etc. I got the whole speech about them wanting me to see everyone in the practice. I haven't seen him.
My BF's friend had creepy dr. deliver her baby about 2 months ago. She and her DH called the group and complained about him. She said he could be bothered with her and her delivery. I guess she's a pretty small woman and had a rough time. He was less than helpful.
If he's there when I go in for Annabel, can I refuse to see him and ask for another dr?

Soon I need to go downstairs and tidy up before Molly wakes up. Hopefully she will power nap, since she only got about 8-9 hours sleep last night, vs her usual 11-12. 
Way to go Jocelyn!! Glad to hear Roberts privledges have been restored 
You crack me up with the 'orangey goodness' comment!
