Sorry to hear about so many people not feelling well.

Lauren Glad to hear you are having a great time at SSR we had a great stay there. I didn't get lost once of course we were in a studio.;)

Tonight we are having chicken tortilla soup. Winter has befallen us. It supposed to get down into the 20's not a far drop from the 30's now.

Sheryl Happy birthday to Bob. I hope you start feeling better.

Wendy It's strange the equipment that the PT'S use. Make sure you are securely sitted when you look at the bill.

Ok off to heat up the soup and finish my computer work so I can watch Dancing tonight.
 

Wendie - Glad to hear Ross is doing better. That P/T sounded strange to me, and like Janice said I'd be prepared for quite a bill. Good thing you guys have good insurance.:goodvibes
 
We ended up with take and bake pizza from Kroger tonight. It was actually pretty tasty!
 
Good morning everyone. Last night we had bbq pork chops, fries, and corn (boring).

It's going to be a little cool here today so I'm making chili. This is our first cold front. It's 64 now and a high of 76 (normal is around 80). That's actually a little too cold for me. At least it's bright and sunny though. :sunny: :cool2:
 
Chicken Sausalito

That looks really good! I've printed it and plan on putting it in the rotation. However, I'll have to wait a little while. I didn't fool Kenny at call with the Spanish (mexican) chicken. He took two bites and knew. :laughing:

Gretchen- better the infections run their course now than the kids fight it off for two weeks and boom! right in time for vacation. I hate to see them sick but sick for a vacation is the pits!

You're right, we went one year and had one sick child at the beginning of the week. By the end of the week, all of the children were sick and two of the adults. :sad2:

Spicy Lime Chicken Marinade


Creamy Avocado Salsa

Both of these look good! I've printed them for my file.

It is pouring here, and dark like midnight, we have thunderstorm and high wind warnings until 6pm. I hope it blows the rest of the leaves off of my trees out front, so I can have the yard guy come and clean it up finally, lol. We have 2 trees outback that stay green until Thanksgiving and then they fall, it is very odd, we can't rake those up until spring as we have snow on the ground before they drop, lol.

Wow. We may get snow once every 7-10 years so I have never thought about leaves, etc. I've especially not ever thought about having snow before Thanksgiving. Last year was a particularly cold Thanksgiving for us, but normally, we are in jeans and short sleeves, but it has been warm enough for shorts.

Another Lauren moment would be me yelling to BIL who was golfing right outside our balcony. I think the whole complex heard me. I can be so whiskey tango at times. :upsidedow

:rotfl: :rotfl: Oh Lauren, I was dying laughing as I read this. I'm glad you are having a great time. Isn't the hot tub in the 1BR units wonderful?


Wendy It's strange the equipment that the PT'S use. Make sure you are securely sitted when you look at the bill.

:lmao: :lmao: That is the truth! We have had some doozies from Hailey's various therapies. But part of it is that once a company finds out a product has theraputic value, they will triple the price. I found a case of massagers for $3 each wholesale (lady bugs, etc. used by kids with sensory dysfunction). And then when I looked it up in the therapy catalog, the EXACT same massager was $36. I kid you not. Talk about price gouging. :mad: I ordered four cases and left them at the OT's office for the other parents who were thrilled to be able to get them for $3 each.


Good morning everyone. Last night we had bbq pork chops, fries, and corn (boring).

Sandy, that is just the kind of meal my kids prefer. They would rather have "plain food" instead of the "fancy stuff".

Tonight's dinner is porcupine meatballs with vodka sauce. I haven't tried this yet so I hope it will be good. I have a meeting today with a representative of the Medicaid department to determine if Hailey is still eligible (meaning still disabled). She told me she would be there at 2:30 and when I asked if there was another time or day available, she was quite rude and said if I wanted Hailey to get Medicaid, I needed to make that time work. She called yesterday, so I had less than 24 hours notice and was thinking Hailey doesn't feel like being examined by anyone while sick, but this woman didn't really care.

This is mean of me, but I hope she catches the cold running through my house. It would serve her right. (I know, I'm a horrible person for thinking it.)

Have a great day everyone.

Gretchen

You're not a horrible person, I'd be thinking the same thing. ;) Hope everyone is feeling better soon. :hug:
 
Just a quick check-in....my internet has been down at home since last night.

Dinner tonight - Oven BBQ country style ribs with SBR, smothered potatoes and corn.

Hopefully I'll be able to chat and catch up later!
 
Dinner tonight will be chicken satay, if I can make it to the store for some gingerroot.

I'm hoping that it will break through this blasted cold that I have! I'm hating it!!! I just don't have time to be sick. Hopefully, it will run it's course and leave me alone by this weekend.
 
Good Morning All!

I hope that all of you who are sick or have sick little ones at home feel better soon, except over at Gretchen's. Gotta have the sniffles, sneezes and coughs just a little longer.....long enough to create an infestation of that little bug in that social workers home! Then well wishes coming your way as well. She is darn lucky that you are easy going, I have been testy lately and I know that it is wrong but If I am going be be in a bad mood and someone is being unreasonable I simply channel that mood and somehow that person sees the error of their way :rolleyes1.

Sandy- Marisa called to tell me your high temperature today and that 76 and cold should not be in the same sentence :lmao::lmao::lmao:

Kathy- Don't you hate it when your internet goes down? I could stand not having a car more than I can stand having no WFD :eek:

Lauren-:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Last night we went shopping and planned on bringing something home but ended up eating what we had in the house. Chicken sandwiches and chips :thumbsup2

Tonight I have a bone in roast pork that I am cooking dutch oven style with potatoes, carrots and turnips. French bread and a cucumber salad on the side.
 
Sandy- Marisa called to tell me your high temperature today and that 76 and cold should not be in the same sentence :lmao::lmao::lmao:
:laughing: It is for south FL. I'm cold if it dips below 78. Everyone thinks I'm crazy. I have to say I'm MUCH happier living in FL:sunny: than I was in NY:cold: .
 
Kroger had NY Strip steaks on sale for $3.99 a pound so I bought some last night - they are DH's fave cut. When he spotted them, he decided we need to have two for dinner tonight and freeze the rest.

We're going to have loaded mashed potatos and brocolli/cheese with it. YUM

Hopefullly you'll be feeling better soon!:hug:

Gretchen

Not mean at all my dear. What a witch!:sad2:

I'd trade my car for my internet in a heartbeat!:laughing:
 
Just a quick post from me--just got back from the Dr. not too long ago,a nd the good news is that I don't have the Flu. Bad news is I have strep with a nice side of acute tonsilitis. Ugh! Today is DS's bday and we get to celebrate with mommy laid up in bed. Pray that these antibiotics start working soon!
 
Afternoon Y'all,

I've been taking it easy this morning trying to get better. Got Bob off & went back to bed. Just need to get Alexis when school is out. I'm feeling a bit better after getting some rest. But DD has a big event with her work tonight ( Miss Planet Beach Intnt. Contest )& she would like us to come. I just don't know if I'm up to an event that doesn't start until 8:00! While DD put everything together & she will only introduce the contestants. I just don't know if I can get it together enough to get dressed up & go out that late. Ugh.:sad1:

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! For the well wishes & b-day wishes for Bob.:grouphug: Bob really enjoyed his dinner & appreciated it extra much cus he knew I felt sick. His comment after dinner was "It's a good life, no, It's a good Wife!":love: I grilled the ribeyes I had marinated, baked potatoes, broccoli sauteed with garlic & cherry tomatoes. I also made a cognac cream sauce for the steak. Sam's had blackberries yesterday, so I made a sauce to put on top of vanilla ice cream. Sorry I didn't take any pics, I was feeling pretty bad by the time I was finished cooking.

Stephanie, So sorry you've got the flu!!! Have the family take care of you now! You work so hard all the time, it's time for them to coddle you! :hug:

Lauren, So glad you're having a great time! Eat & drink some for us! :goodvibes Glad to hear SSR is good too. During our F&W trip, we checked out SSR & OKW, both are very nice. We did decide to change our upcoming trip from OKW to SSR this time.

Sheryl
 
Good afternoon all!!

P/T conf. went amazing last night....Ross sometimes scares us with how smart he is, lol. He had straight A's and one B+, (that was in science and their whole grade was based on 1 test that he flipped flopped 2 answers on, and didn't double check, lol) The only issue we had is he (ahem) talks to much in class, lol...hmm wonder where he gets that from,;) He was beating himself up about the B+ though so we had to help him on that one a bit. We also got the test results back from the NWEA testing (this is country wide so some of you might have heard of it) and I do have to brag a bit, as the princepal himself was there to give us Ross' results as he was so impressed with his scores, Ross rocked these!! His scores were off the chart. So he kind of forgot about his B+ once he saw these, lol.

Sandy--I had to laugh, as your low is sometimes our summer high in temps,lol! In fact we just had some spitting snow about 20 min. ago!

Gretchen--You are not horrible for thinking it, what a rude person, I'll be thinking right along with you that she catches it as well!! It is all about karma! Let us know how you make out with her.

Aimee-- we love those steaks too. I just made them the other night, mmmm!

Lauren--you my friend, are a hoot!! Nothing wrong with having a bit of whiskey tango in you, it is what makes life fun, I have been known to show a few moments of that myself at times, lol!!

Kathy--I am with you as well, I HATE when my internet is down, take my car, leave my internet!

Glynis--I hope you can get over this darn cold soon too!! I wish that we could get over them as fast as our kids do, lol. Ross is still sniffling and sneezing, but his energy is just fine,lol.

Stephanie-- Happy b-day to your DS!!!!!! I hope that the meds start kicking in fast! Take it easy and don't push, it will just take longer to get back on your feet if you do!

Sheryl--AWWW Bob is such a sweetie! You are an amazing wife to put on such a spread, and feel like you do! I am sure that your daughter will understand that you just can't make it tonight. By 8pm you should be in your jammies sleeping. Get some rest, and keep us posted as to how you are feeling!

Wish I was closer to all who are sick so I could just jump around and help out!

I have no real idea as to wfd, as I only took out pork chops, and never thought of sides, or what to even do with the pork. I might be lazy and just shake and bake them,lol.

Ross just came in, so I will go see how his day went! Hope all of yours is going great too!

You're very lucky to have such an appreciative hubby. :goodvibes Please take care of yourself and get well soon.

Way to go Ross!! Let him know "Aunt Kathy" is very proud of him.:thumbsup2


Looks like my internet is back, not sure for how long. I saw a cable truck pass by a few minutes ago.:rolleyes1
 
party: :bday: Happy Birthday to Stephanie's Son!

Stephanie ~ I hope you're feeling better soon. :hug:

Sheryl ~ Wow, you really are a good wife to make such a meal when you're not feeling well. I'm sure your DD will understand if you're not feeling up to going out tonight. Get well soon. :hug: Happy belated birthday to your DH.

Wendie ~ :thumbsup2 for Ross!
