Afternoon Y'all,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORELI!!!!!!!:

Wait one darn minute here! Are Glynis & Lauren pregnant????? My DIS is running soooo slooowly here, I can't mult-quote & I can't go back a page & reread it again! Are you girls preggers???


Aimee is posting FOOD Pics!!!! (I'll refrain from calling it food-porn since she's a minister ) And so organized too!!! The pics with the recipes!! Wow I'm impressed! That all looks delicious, thanks for the pics & the recipes! Stuffed & fried olives is a new one, even for us Cajuns who'll fry anything!

Lindsay, It sounds to me like Robin may have found the one!!!

Hersey, I'm with you on the years of trying to get pg. We tried for 4 years before having our DD, clomid, temp taking the whole bit. I just wasn't able to emotionally handle all of that over & over again. So we just have the one DD! I didn't use any BC for 12 yrs after & nothing happened so that was my answer.

Nancy, That is so sad for your Niece & her DH. Prayers for them. I don't understand her brother & his wife either. I had been trying for years, when my cousin got pregnant without even trying. She held off telling me she was pregnant until she couldn't wait any longer. All because she was concerned for my feelings. Your niece's brother & his wife must be very crappy to treat her that way.


I'm still sick, but will hold off one more day before succumbing to going to the Dr.. Bob's got it now too, he went to work but I think he'll be home early. Alexis is slightly better, she went to school but only cus her Momma took her & her Mom is a lot tougher than her Nana.

DD & SIL are back from Europe. Really wiped out from 13 hrs of airports & flying. DD is nauseous today, but I think it's just jet-lag.

Thanks y'all for the Candle/oil suggestions!!! I'm gonna put some of that on my Christmas list DH keeps asking for.

One of Bob's friends went fishing this weekend & brought him some fresh trout filets. He also has a clean & gutted whole sheepshead fish. Which I'm not sure what to do with that. But we will be having fish for dinner!

I'm not pregnant, yet, but we are trying. I'll be sure to post when/if it happens in big, bold colorful letters so y'all can celebrate with me.

Sheryl- Buddy calls my nephews wife "Manhattan" and it is not a compliment to the Big Apple. I don't understand why they (she) cannot understand that compassion for his sister and BIL takes nothing away from sharing their joy. No one has even whispered "Oh too bad it was not Amy." If anything I would think that after watching them go through so much they would realize how very blessed they are.

I hope that both you and Bob feel better soon. Now go to the DR!!!!!!!

Lauren- I somehow missed that you are trying to get pregnant. I'll say a prayer for the two of you.

Glynis-What a piece of work you first Dr was! Someday we can compare MIL stories! When I talk about my MIL I am usually talking about Donald's Mom. Buddy barely tolerates his Mother and while I wish he would at least establish a relationship with her, it is for him. She could be on fire on the sidewalk and I wouldn't spit to put her out. This is a "friendly" message board so I won't repeat the colorful version Buddy uses

Dinner last night was pot roast, carrots, potatoes and onions, green beans rolls butter and roasted garlic. A yellow cake with vanilla frosting for Jeff's birthday. That's all he wanted for his birthday....a plain nonchocolate cake with no goop inside and no funky stuff on top . What kind of cake is that???????

Well we're having pizza tonight. I ended up staying home sick (Happy birthday to me) and dh had to go out of town (he's an electrician and snow+wind=power outages)so my Mom is bringing it over. I'm really achy now, I wonder if I have the flu.

Double hugs for you! Really stinks to be sick & no hubby to take care of you! Glad your Mommy is coming to help out! Hope you feel better soon!

I hope you start to feel better soon. Your Mom is really nice to bring you food when your sick. My mom was never very maternal like that.

To all of you out east take care in that weather. Luckily all we have now is cold. I had to get gas in the car tonight brrrr.

I can't believe how many of us had problems getting pregnant.

Lauren & Glynis I hope both of you find something special under your tree, though being pregnant is not fun during the summer.

Just a quick morning check in....
We are in Major Snow Mode up here my friends...it is 20* and we are looking at 18inches of snow coming at us, with heavy winds so it will be drifting. It will be blizzard conditions by this evening. No school today, and a chance of no school tomorrow.

I am thinking of you, we had some ice but nothing like what you are having. I hope that you all stay safe!

What a way to celebrate a birthday . I hope that you feel better soon.

I wish you lived closer. I would make you soup, it's my go-to whenever anyone is sick.

We had leftovers from last night. It was just as good tonight

 

[Mermaid02]

My Mother is AWESOME! My friends all think I'm spoiled... maybe I am... but my Mother would do anything for me and my family. She's absolutely THE BEST! Oh, there are times when she makes me crazy- but I wouldn't trade her for anyone else's Mom that's for sure!

 

[HERSEY]

Mermaid02 Hope your Birthday pizza is wonderful. Happy 40

Nancy We had leftovers too short ribs with cheesy potatoes and carrots.

Costco had the worst looking romaine lettuce I'll have to go there again later this week and see if they got any more in Guess our little ice storm affected the delivery.

Wendie Hope you all stay safe and don't lose any power.

(I am so sorry you're sick )

Tonight it's leftover spaghetti and meatball stoup with bread.

WFD at your house?

ETA: No updates today. Robin was supposed to call me yesterday but she didn't. Scott said it looked like she was having a bad day at work.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning, We are having meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn...maybe string beans too.

I'll be back later when I have a little more time.

Have a great day!

 

[Mermaid02]

I'm still home sick- I feel like I got hit by a bus today and my breathing isn't very good (I'm asthmatic). The kids have NO SCHOOL again today (it's STILL SNOWING) so hopefully I can convince my son we should lay on the couch and watch Christmas movies all day.

I have a pork cutlet I need to do something with.... suggestions??

Morning all
I never did get back here yesterday, between unpacking from being gone this past weekend, and taking care of all the christmas shopping items, the day flew by.
It is still snowing here, has been for over 24hrs now, should be ending soon though(maybe?!!?), Ross has a 1hr delay for school this morning, we have a new superintendent who wants to use as little snow days as possible, ugh. They should not be going in today.
I had a nail appt at 9am but I won't be making that, we live on a wicked hill, and I am not attempting it, that and we also live on the corner and our driveway gets nailed with all the snow from our road, so the bank at the end will be pretty high. Ross will shovel it a bit when he gets home so I can get him to Karate tonight. Kris will snowblow the rest when he gets home, and do the other driveway, (we have 2, sounded like a good idea when we put it in...that was also in a summer month, lol) Beef stew was a perfect supper last night!

Loreli--I missed your birthday yesterday...Happy (belated) Birthday, and I do hope you are feeling a bit better.

Glynis and Lauren--Prayers for both that 2008 brings you a healthy little one.

The stories that all of you have gone through with your pregnancies is amazing. I can't even imagine how heartbreaking and difficult all of that must be. What amazing women you all are!
I was the complete opposite, a fertile myrtle for sure. Kris and I knew that we only wanted to have one, we waited until we had been married for 3yrs, had one last big long weekend hurrah in Bar Harbor, the following Monday I went off the pill, and we had the mindset that when it happened it would happen, take it as it was etc etc.......2 weeks later I just felt the urge to take a home test and yeppers, I think I was still peeing on the stick, and it was giving me two lines, lol. Had a pretty easy pregnancy until the last 4months when I had toxemia and went on bedrest. Ross was 2.5 weeks overdue and I will spare you from the labor details except to say that I broke the hospital, and the Dr's records for longest L&D..not hours my friends, but DAYS! I had a pretty bad spell with PPD. None of this compares to anything you all have had to go through.

Kathy--sounds like you are having a blast, glad you got to meet Lucas and family as well!! Can't wait for you to be back, but glad you are having fun!

Sheryl--How are you and the little one feeling today?

Lauren--How is A's ear doing? Poor kid. Give hime a hug from me!

Tonight is Karate night..if I can get out, (I can't shovel with my wrist and I won't even try the snowblower, lol...will see what Ross can do) Dinner will be leftover beef stew...mmmmm even better the next day!!

I hope I caught up with everyone....I tried, lol..I mean well!
Have a great day all!

Hi everyone! Just a quick update from the World for you all while I wait for the crew to finish getting ready for Sea World.

So far we have had an awesome trip. The weather has been great--high seventies, low eighties. The parks are a little more crowded than they were at this time two years ago, but overall it is not too bad--we've been using fastpass to walk right on to the rides. The Christmas party was a big hit, though I still give the edge to the holiday illuminations, which we saw our first night from a table railside at the Rose and Crown. We've been to all the Disney parks though we have to go back to all of them since we still have lots to do!

The kids are having a great time and the parents are impressed with all the changes and improvements to the parks. The house we rented is really great--the pictures on the net don't do it justice! (and it has free internet and computers, hence this post!) My only quibble is that the pool water is heated a little too hot for me.

So far we've had adrs at Raglan Road and Rose and Crown, both were very good. I even have pictures of the food! (my Dad, usually the one to complain about my food picture taking, has been insisting I photo the food--he knows about you people now and knows that you want pictures! )

Today we are having lunch at Sharks Grill and tonight my DH, Laura and I are going to dinner at Jiko while my parents watch the kids.

Well, off to Sea World! Laura and the kids are getting in free with her military id, I think that is nice of them to offer this perk.

I hope there isn't too much snow at home!

Hi ya'll,

Just wanted to check in to say we had a blast meeting TigerKat and her dh at EPCOT. They are both so sweet! It was really fun meeting up with them. Wish we were still there, too.

No idea WFD yet.

Loreli, I have asthma too, and I've found that taking Mucinex (or a stronger prescription form of it) helps me a lot when I get any kind of cold/virus. I start taking it right away & it seems to at least keep me from having to use the nebulizer machine so much or running to the dr. every day. Hope you feel better soon!

Sheryl--How are you and the little one feeling today?

Wendie, All that snow sounds like a whole 'nother world to this southern gal! I can't even imagine having to shovel snow to get out of the house! I thought it was freakin cold this morning & I'm ashamed to tell you it was only 43 degrees & sunny!

And I don't even know if fertile is the proper term for that! 2 weeks!! I've never heard of anyone getting pregnant that quickly before! I'm sure you've been very very very careful since having Ross!

Thanks for asking, Alexis is feeling a bit better. Still somewhat stuffy & a little cough but improving she went to school yesterday & did fine. And didn't give me to much trouble going to school this morning. I still feel funky, trying to decide if I should just wait it out a few more days or go to the dr for antibioitics.

Becky, It sounds wonderful! I can't believe you have your Dad telling you to take pics! I was thinking about y'all last night, wondering if you headed to the ESPN Club for the Pats game. They pulled it off in the end. Another W for your team! Enjoy Jiko & take pics for us!!!!

lucas, Did you get to meet with Kyle & Abi too? Did you take any pics? We'd love to see them!

Aimee, How are you doing with the headaches? Hope it doesn't continue to be daily problem?

No idea what's for dinner here either. I cooked last night only cus Bob brought home that fresh trout. Stuck that whole fish in the freezer cus I just wasn't up to dealing with it. Maybe some easy like breakfast might work tonight. We'll see.

Have a good day friends!

Sheryl--You should go see the Dr. If you need antibiotics the sooner you get started on them the better. Don't take any chances.
It is 22*here today that will be our high, still spitting snow..we are now into 32hrs of it, but it will be ending soon. People are starting to emerge from their homes to dig out again today.

As for the being careful part....My first mothers day present was Ross being born on it, my Second was Kris having a vasectomy, !


Becky--Loving the fact that your Dad is now reminding you to take pics for us!!! Tks Dad!! Glad you all are having fun!!

Lucas--Glad you had a nice visit with Kathy and Johnny!! Welcome back!
