[llebrekniT]

Hi everybody! Thanks for the CEREAL Cheeringmom, but I just had a yummy Krispy Kremes chocolate glazed crueller (out of the box). I'm full of caffiene and sugar!

Thanks to everyone who sent me PD. I think the steam rolling out of my ears deflected some of it though. Here's how my night wrapped up. (Sorry this got long, but it feels good to put it all down.)

1. DH came home and went straight to the tub to soak.

2. Daniel came home with his GIANT presentation board for the Science Fair and said he needed a graph and chart to put on it. Told me this just as I was beginning to fix dinner.

3. Cooked dinner with Ella wrapped around my leg. Holly tried her best to keep her happy and entertained. Holly is my own personal angel sent down from heaven.

4. Daniel came in and out of the kitchen while I was cooking with my 24 pound baby attached to my leg asking questions on how to do the chart on our hunk-of-junk computer that doesn't have a program that does either a chart or graph.

5. DH took a phone call just as I was putting dinner on the table. He knows that annoys me, so I served his up knowing it would get nice and cold that way.

6. During dinner Holly told DH about how Pa forgot about her today. I corrected her that Grandma was supposed to call and let me know I needed to pick her up. She said "It's always the mommy's fault somehow" and rolled her eyes. This child is sooo insightful. DH, knew by then that I was more ticked at him than he was (wrongfully) ticked at me. So he quipped "You got that right" to which Holly said "But you know, it never really is the mommy's fault." So perfectly spoken, so wise. Did I tell you she's only 6?

7. At that point we had a very calm discussion about how this whole incident played out. It was light-hearted and casual, I will not have an argument in front of my babies. As Deadheadbelle, pointed out, DH is like his father and also The Fonz, he can't say he was wrrrrrrrr (wrong). But I know when he knows that he is, and I've learned to let that be good enough for me. I feel I will be qualified for sainthood when I leave this life. He looked like a dog with his tail tucked between his legs and he was ready to be helpful. Started clearing away the dinner dishes.

8. After dinner, we started right in on the presentation board, which DH readily helped with. Guilt is such a wonderful thing.

9. Gave the girls their baths.

10. Worked some more on the presentation board.

11. Came thisclose to throwing the presentation board and the whole science experiment out the window.

12. Got to the point where I actually told Daniel "I'm very proud of the work you've done on this project. You've done everything up til now all by yourself. There are things that your teacher is asking for that cannot be done by you. (He told me that many of his friends parents did the charts and graphs for their kids.) I told him I would write him a note explaining that we don't have the right program to easily pop out a chart and graph and if it can't be done at school his won't have one. I told him not to worry about the grade, as far as I'm concerned he did a wonderful job. He said he just wants this thing over with so he can go back to his regular life.

13. Put Daniel and Holly to bed.

14. Ella had her first cup of milk in 48 hours that morning. She kept it down all day so I fixed her a cup of milk before she went to bed. She drank it down, babbled a little baby talk with me and then puked all over me.

15. Cleaned her and me up and went to bed.

Thanks guys, I feel great now!

 

[geffric]

good morning...

making chocolate chip pancakes, fresh strawberries covered in chocolate, fresh squeezed orange juice and hot chocolate plus chocolate decaf no fat lattee..


Anyone hungry???

 

[llebrekniT]

Thanks geffric, although I've already eaten, I'll take two!

Ohanafamily, did you hear from your wifey yet? I know it sounds like DH and I fight alot, but we really are meant for each other. For one thing, I don't think there is a single soul on Earth that could put up with either one of us for life. We always work it out. Anyway, we have never been apart except for me being in the hospital to have the last two babies. He stayed with me after Daniel was born but I sent him home on the other ones, the existing child/children needed a parent more than I needed a hubby. We need each other, I think I would feel like my arm was missing if he wasn't with me. And I know he would be completely lost without me too. It's the same way with the kids, neither one of us have ever even considered going away without them.

She'll be home in what, two more days? Just keep yourself busy, and don't have dinner with your mother anymore! Maybe an old buddy you haven't seen in a while? Or how about a movie she wouldn't have like seeing very much? Or how about just hanging out on the DIS, maybe raise hell over on the DB? We promise not to tell.

 

[cheeringmom]

Oh TINKBACKWARDS what a night. What you need is a nice long nap and a bubble bath. Wish I was closer so I could help with Ella-however I'm not fond of puke I guess you can look on the bright side and decide it couldn't get much worse!

And Holly osunds like a delight. Wow, to have your own kid actually stand up for you! What progress!

hang in there sweetie!! raining hugs down on you today!! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_204.gif' border=0></a>

Morning [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color]

Was only able to lurk yesterday, but I've kept up!

Extra sepcial for [COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR] and lots of PD for al the [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color] who are sick/achy/lonesome/cranky/job hunting and just plain tuckerd-out! I think I may be the only [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color] (regular vistor type) who lives alone. Sometimes I wish I could just jump on a plane, come to your(plural) houses and fill in for a while so you could each have a break from your daily cares. Hmmmmm,could I make a career out of that?

For the current question: the celebrity I miss most: Well, my very favorite actress passed this past year, Katharine Hepburn. But she left behind such a legacy (some great, some not so good) that I can 'see' her whenever I want. But I really miss John Beluchi(sp?)

Cheeringmom aren't you getting excited about your Disneyland trip?!? I get to pop over there for one day in April and I can barely contain myself! Ohhhhhh, breakfast at Carnation Cafe on Main Street. ohhhhh the pancakes! (notice I went right to FOOD) I'm dog sitting starting Sunday for a former boss, who is taking his family of 5 kids there for their first trip (ages about 8-15). I wish I could go with them!

Must go get ready for work now......have a great day all

 

[ohanafamily]

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR], I am not really as bad as I sound, and yes I have talked to her a few times since she got there. I actually see my mom all of th time, and I had had a raul with that brother a few days ago. My mother is ALMOST as sweet as RRBB, and I love her dearly too. She understands that that brother has no respect for me, and also he has an attitude problem. I could go on for pages about things that he didn't do or go to at my wedding, and he was the best man (a childhood agreement) I do not hate him, his attitude frustrates (and infuriates) me at times. Some of you may recall the once-in-a=lifetime wedding we went to at WDW. We scheduled it 8 months in advance, were a part of (not in, but a part of) the wedding. A month or so before the wedding we found out that it was DN's High school graduation. I had blown all of my DVC points, could have rescheduled, but told them we had a prior commitment. Guess what, They will never ever do anything with us, or go to any party we throw because of this. There was a lot of pain over this. RRBB was upset at me because I told her. If My niece asks me to come I will. I even told her this. She wanted nothing to do with me. My mom, trying to be a peacemaker brought Me and my DB in a room together. I told him look, if she wants me to come, she should respond to my letters, e-mails and phone calls. All she has to do is to look me in the eyes and tell me that it is important to her. He said "OK, if you want her to beg you, then..." At that point, the trip became etched in stone. Did I mention that she has several relatives that live "Out Of Town" (some only about an hour away) that didn't come.....OK, I don't mean to bring up old trash, but after every way I have always tried to include them, and every way they have excluded me, they now have one thing I did to lord over me for the rest of time. And again, no matter how I show that I am the one who is being maligned here, He is the eldest, and I should have been more considerate....I'm sorry, I got into a rant again...

I just got a call from RRBB. I asked her how practice went last night...I don't think that they are going to win. I will let you know when I hear (probably tomorrow)

I am having instant Oatmeal for breakfast, anybody else want some?

Oh, and PD to everyone...

 

[s&k'smom]

Thank you for the oatmeal offer Ohana family but DD already had her. Had my low carb breakfast. Being very good this week, gearing up for dinner out with DH. We have this little place we found that has the best Italian food. Yummmmmmy. Speaking of food, we aren't going to WDW until October but am already mapping out restaurants. have a great day everyone. Peace and love.

Thank you, Thank you very much...

It was REALLY nice of RickinNYC and ohanafamily to offer to babysit so that you and your hubby could go out and have a nice dinner, relax and unwind..

Wasn't it though?

Actually, if you want to see a 6'4" guy out of his element and totally without a clue, put me in a room with small children. I usually sit, stare and ponder my situation. And if they cry or look upset, I freeze like a deer in headlights. I usually end up picking the kid up like a football, plop him/her in Joe's lap and mumble something unintelligible.

Good morning,[color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color] !!!

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR], the dreaded science fair projects! I hate this time of year! I am so glad ours is over! Good luck to Daniel! Hope little one stops puking soon; it is so tough. My DH just finds something else to do when it comes to puke; he cannot help clean it up. It drives me nuts!

Hi!s&k'smom!


ohanafamilysorry about the troubles with your brother. It is rough to have problems with family. Hope your wonderful DW gets home soon!!!!
