The What's For Dinner Thread - August '09(recipe index in OP)

Gretchen, I didn't see your post earlier. Prayers being said for Hailey & you!!! I can't imagine how hard that must be for both of you!:hug::hug::flower3:


Maria, How are you feeling?
 
I couldn't catch up with y'all yesterday, more Kyle & Mariah drama.

I'm sorry :hug:

Lauren - Your story about T and the balloon made me grin! Timothy did the same thing a week ago. It was darling. He held onto that balloon, and crawled under one of his little tables so it wouldn't float away, and then he spent the longest time just hugging it, and laughing. It made my heart smile!

Smart boy to climb under the table! So sweet.

Please keep Jay and my family in your prayers, good thoughts or whatever you feel comfortable with. PLEASE!!

Jay starts flying from Bagdad today. He will go to Kwait and from there we have no idea. This of course is all up in the air and if the weather (sand storms) stay under control and he can get out. Last time he spent all night (literaly - in his sleeping bag) on the tarmac waiting for his plane.

It could take up to 3 days to get home. But his 2 weeks don't start until he sets foot on American soil. And pray that the FAA gets this glitch solved really fast. The trickle effect could put a damper on him arriving by Saturday.

Thanks everyone - you all were the first place I wanted to come this morning.

You got them! I hope he gets home ASAP!

Caili has her first official US Figure Skating test tomorrow morning. We have to be at the rink at 7 AM. :headache:

I hope she does well! And that there is coffee involved for you!

Hey lassies,

Low profile the now,for every ones sake.

I am strugglin with insomnia so Im a wee bit on a nerve and crabbit,I am readin but no postin because my emotions are either...:mad: or :sad1:.

Have you tried Ambien or another sleep aid? Insomnia will make someone insane in a matter of days. Call your doctor!

Hi everyone! I'm quickly checking in but hope to read up and catch up tonight. I just wanted to request a few prayers for Hailey (and for me, honestly). Today at 1:45 she has a dentist appointment and they are horrible. Picture my poor baby in full body restraints with blocks holding her mouth open while she screams in complete terror the entire time. :scared:

The doctor prescribes xanax for her during this but she had it the last time and we still had to have four people holding her in the restraints (including me). Quite frankly I would rather be horse whipped than do this, but she has to have the dental work done. I even tried bribing Kenny into taking a turn but he said the first time she screamed, it would be over, even if it meant we were buying false teeth down the road.

So as many of you are all too aware, this is a mother's job. Pray for us please.

That sounds horrible for all involved. Poor Hailey and poor Mommy. Maybe you should just take her Xanax? :laughing:

My flight to Florida was canceled due to the glitch in the air traffic control software...Now I should fly Saturday...We shall see.

bbl

I hope you get it resolved quickly!!



Tonight is my first night at home in awhile and I have no idea what we'll have for dinner. :confused3
 
I had stuff quoted and cannot for the life of me remember what I wanted to say so here's a :hug::rotfl::woohoo::sad2: for whatever you may need.

Dinner tonight will probably be something simple and quick. I am working on a quilt for my cousins birthday which is Saturday, they are having a surprise party for him, and as usual I just started on it. :sad2:
 

Good Grief, but you've been a chatty bunch. I hope I can catch up!

I hope everyone that was sick is better now.

Vickie - I hope you are sleeping better soon.

I will say - Wendy,give that principal hell and if you need me, I'll be right ower and go all Braveheart on his butt !! :mad:
:lmao::lmao:

Wendie - that's crazy and I hope you get things squared away. I also would like to see pics of the tat. I keep saying, one of these days...:rolleyes1

Lauren - I hope you and your arm are okay. I also hope you have fun in Pittsburgh.

Gretchen - Oh my - poor Hailey. I feel for her - I haven't been to a dentist in years and have no plans on going - I'd be doing the same as her. I like Aimee's suggestion tho about you taking the xanax :rotfl: Hugs and prayers that ya'll get though it quickly.

Laura - How exciting!! Good Luck to Cailli. I'm sure it'll be worth the early time.

Ellen prayers said that Jay gets home safely and as quickly as possible. I'm so excited for you all to have him coming home, even if its a short trip.

Maria - :hug: for you and all the pain you are going thru right now. I really have no words to say that could may you feel better. I'm sorry your flight got changed. I hope you'll get to Florida soon.

Ann - :hug: for you as well, holiday family drama is ten times worse than during the rest of the year. I hope all works out with the job for Ron. Keeping you both in my prayers.

Marisa - glad to hear surgery went well. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Nancy - any news on Buddy's test results? Not sure if I missed it.

Gotta run - BBL to finish catching up and to talk turkey.
 
Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm feeling much better but have Johnny home with the "man cold".:sad2:

Please keep Jay and my family in your prayers, good thoughts or whatever you feel comfortable with. PLEASE!!

Of course my friend.:hug:

Oh no, I'm a wreck when I don't get enough sleep, prayers headed your way Vick.:hug:

I cannot imagine how horrible that must be for you and for Hailey, prayers coming.:hug:

Kat, you might want to take a peak at this!!!!!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=34396833#post34396833

I have a list of ideas for you...some not to be missed!

Thanks! I bookmarked it!!
 
Ellen, safe travels and prayers for Jay.

Gretchen, late now but thinking of you and poor Hailey!

Vickie, pixiedust: sending pixie dust your way to help you sleep.

Becky, Laura, and Sheryl, thanks for replies on the fish.

Laura, Good luck too Caili!:cheer2:
 
My husband and I are doing one gift each, we figure if we can't remember last years gifts it's silly to just buy stuff.

I like that idea. Greg and I don't often exchange many gifts, but we did last year, and it really just ended up being stuff. This year, our gift is his plane ticket.

Gretchen -- I'm so sorry you and Hailey had to go through that this afternoon. I hope you are home now and able to relax.

GOOD LUCK TO CAILI!!! I hope she's not nervous about the test!

Thank you and everyone else for the luck and well-wishes! Caili is a little nervous. I have heard it is a bit intimidating because the judges stand on the ice while the skater does the required moves. Caili should be able to pass if she can get through it.

Marilyn -- Good luck getting the quilt done.

I got interrupted while posting, so I hope I haven't missed anything.

Oops...I did of course. Vickie -- I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. Kathy -- Oh no...the man cold is making the rounds again. I'm sorry.

The fish counter had Dover sole today, so I got that, along with some bay scallops and littleneck clams. I haven't figured out what I am doing with all of that yet though. I might save some of it for tomorrow.
 
Laura - I'm not doing well trying to keep up.:sad2: GOOD LUCK to Caili, I'm sure she'll do great!!!!!:thumbsup2

Robin - Yes, Kyle will be coming in on Tuesday and staying through Saturday!!!!!
 
I will be back I promise!! Just wanted to give you a quick fill on the events from yesterday.
First let's just say that noone was surprised to see Kris stop in there this morning, lol. Ross still had a day suspended, because as he was informed "The policy is no tolerence no matter the reason if close fist punches are thrown" That being said Kris pointed out that there is also a no tolerence on bullying, hmmmm. Kris had the V.P. stumbling on his words there on that point, and Kris left it with Mr Dugal knowing that Kris was calling all members of the school board. They thought dealing with this Mama Bear was bad....Papa Bear is going to surprise them!
 
That boat sailed a long time ago....

Me too...does nothing except give me a "hangover" headache the next day...Poor Girl...Just remember Marie Osmond Loves You!!!!;)

Lauri, thank you for the kind words.

Kat, not going to post the real gems of NYC...then they get to touristy...We'll chat. When are you think of coming up?
Sorry about the "man cold".

Sheryl, I'm much better. Now just blue & waiting to get to Florida.

Marilyn, would love to see your quilt when it's done!!!!

Hoping Gretchen & Wendie post with updates.....
 
Kathy, so glad you are going to have some time Kyle over holiday. Tell Johnny I am sending him Get Well wishes...ugh, man colds...DH called thinks he has a fever.

Marilyn, I am so jealous you quilt. I would love to see a pic when it is done.

Wendie, make sure "Papa Bear" :lmao: follows through and calls those school board members. That policy crap is wrong. Thanks for the update. I say good for Ross ;) as long as it was in defense.

Maria, a dose of Florida sunshine will be good for you. I wish I were going with you too!

Well co-worker may not be interested anymore. I think her DH frowned on the idea. Now I need to find someone else to go with me! Ummmm....... Sheryl...wanna go with me? Don't really have anytime in mind. If there is a "cheap" season that's when I'll come.:laughing:

Kathy, so glad you are going to have some time Kyle over holiday. Tell Johnny I am sending him Get Well wishes...ugh, man colds...DH called thinks he has a fever.

Oh dear, prayers headed your way.
 
Hi, we're back home. It is over and is wasn't quite as bad as last time. Hailey was scared again, but this time she had enough xanax so she didn't break out of the restraints. So I was able to help comfort her instead of having to hold her down.

Anyway, I have her settled here and I'm going to make myself a drink (or three). I promise to try and catch up tomorrow.
 
Gretchen, enjoy that well deserved cocktail(s)!!!! ;) Glad Hailey was okay with it all this time. :cheer2:
 
We are having the bacon meatloaf I mentioned yesterday. Probably potatoes and something else for sides.

Wendie Tell Kris GO Papa Bear GO :cheer2: I understand the no tolerance rule but I don't see how this applies here. Bulling Is Bulling and should be stopped. :mad:

Kathy This virus takes a while before you feel like yourself again. :hug: Rest up. Oh no on the Man cold.:upsidedow

Gretchen Poor Hailey :hug: How did she do? How about you. I think I would just sit in the corner and cry. I can't imagine what poor Hailey is thinking?:hug:

Relax and don't worry about catching up. I'm so glad you were able to comfort her.:hug:

Well hold on to your hats cause I am getting a new computer next week and the pics are gonna FLY!!!! :woohoo: They have a really nice one on sale at BB next week and I am hoping that I know someone who will be sleeping out there. :rotfl: I may have to bribe someone! I will be at other stores and usually my cousin or BFF's DH go and sit in line and hopefully one of them will be out there. Either that or I will see if they are going to have it online as well and make DM get up and do the purchase for me. :rolleyes1

My cousin, the brother of the BB cousin above, is an avid hunter so I am making it with camo type colors and a fabric that has deer on it. I haven't decided on the backing fabirc yet, I don't buy it until the quilt top is done and I take it with me to the store.

The stinky thing is, they have the backing fabric I use on sale the day after TG for $2.99 a yard. :headache: And of course I need it this weekend. But they have lots of good things on sale for my Christmas projects so it's all good.
 
They thought dealing with this Mama Bear was bad....Papa Bear is going to surprise them!

Honest to goodness! Whatever happened to common sense? Good that Kris is going in, maybe they need to see who has your back!

Low profile the now,for every ones sake.

I am strugglin with insomnia so Im a wee bit on a nerve and crabbit,I am readin but no postin because my emotions are either...:mad: or :sad1:.

Today at 1:45 she has a dentist appointment and they are horrible.
