Nothing yet....hoping that Jeremy will have a day off tomorrow so he can figure out what all was in the trailer and truck to finish the police report. The officer said if they find stuff they hold it for 30 days and chances are a lot of the stuff will end up on the side of the road somewhere.
OMG, Margaret! You totally brought that sour lunch box smell back to me! My favorite lunch box was my Holly Hobbie one. I dug her. Mostly because she was easy to draw, what with the no face and all.
Hey cupcake - long time no see your cute little baked goods.
Kristin - dress rehearsal went well this a.m. Matinee even better at 1:30. Now the evening show. Short and sweet - and none of the set fell over. Kids did a nice job this afternoon. Hoping tonight is a hit.
BD, When I read your comments about your daughter, I think back to mine. Quite sensitive and picky. I read stuff about "The Spirited Child" and it seem to fit her well.
Hey CK thanks....it has to get better is what I keep saying :)
Kristin with my daughter it was a wonderful uneventful pregnancy but her delivery was LONG and HARD....at one point I had the nurse and the doctor pushing on my belly to get her out. My son was a horrible pregnancy with a long ass baby who wanted ALL the space available, made me sick, anemic, and a whole list of other non life threatening things but the labor was pretty quick and painless LOL
Kristin - What did you make for dinner? It's getting more and more difficult for me to make dinner as the boys get older. Josh will be at the fire station so, tonight it's just me and (the pickiest eater on the planet)Jake at home and I have no idea what to prepare.
CC - since LM has been sick -nothing - I made mac & cheese and dino nuggets for him and last night I had a stouffer's cordon bleu pasta - so I reheated leftovers. The cordon bleu pasta was really good.
I felt so bad earlier today. I logged on to blogger, clicked on to SIP and realized that I am no longer an "invited reader". I haven't posted in a really long time so I'm sure that was why, but it just felt weird to be "uninvited".
So LM was talking to me while going potty - pretty much the only time I have his undivided attention. He was telling me stories, etc. Then he looks at me and says, "mommy, you hair looks funnee!"
Kristin - the pasta does sound good. I'm hungry already and it's only 4:40 here, I'm eating a bag of microwave popcorn otherwise I'll snack when I get home instead of dinner. I feel like I warm chicken nuggets every night for Jake. He'll turn 14 on March 16th and the kid only eats about 4 things: nuggets, pizza, pasta and top ramen noodles. Oh, and a side of applesauce! I wonder how he is even still alive!
So I went to walgreens to find motrin for LM yesterday b/c they didn't have any at Wal-mart. I ended up buying infant - uggggghhh. Anywho, there were these large bars of chocolate - and one said with Chili and it reminded me of AP's trip to the World Market. These are called Lindtt Chocolate - i got the Chili and the Orange - dark chocolate. They are pretty good. The chili one has a bit of a bite but only after about a minute, while you are eating it - just tastes chocolatey - only after a little while does it come back to bite. I like it!
Hi CC! Another left coaster here. YAY! Cold and windy here, too. Door blew open and three muddy dogs came tromping through my (was clean) front room-LOL!
Shannon-I thought you were in Seattle area. I am south Washington. Howdy neighbor!
Hi KaytieJ! I hear you about the muddy dogs, I am so tired of cleaning up after mine. I am ready for Friday's weather and then the time change on Sunday! I'm planning to start hiking in our local canyon after work next week.
Time change...I completely forgot....but yay!!!! I am working Sunday night and so that means one less hour out of my 13!!! Ooooh,,,but I should not be too happy because that means the Monday workers get less sleep :::ducking head:::
Have a wonderful time hiking CC! I lived in Glendora when young and I loved it there. All the sunshine and flowers. That was LONG ago!
Kristin - about hiking? I'm looking forward to it, the boys usually run the short one (2miles) and I walk, it's a great workout. I'm sure I'll be huffing and puffing, I haven't been to the gym or shred(ed) in a month. Once I build up some stamina, I'll do the 5mile hike on a Saturday, it's a tough hike.
CC - you mentioned "shredding" I have a cousin who does body modeling/sculpting competitions. When she talks of shredding it sounds grueling, to me anyway. Not sure if it is the same term we're talking. But when you do go to shred, hope all goes well.
KaytieJ - I am far from competing, lol! 30 Day Shred is an exercise DVD created by Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser. Funny you mention the competitions though, I was at a 24 year high school get together on Saturday and one of my former classmates has been training for a couple of years. She looked amazing, she competes in "figure", wow! I just don't have the will power to dedicate myself to all of that dieting and gym time.
Oh no, I missed Cupcake! Well it looks like someone's been very busy on SIP, banning Cupcake and Cake-Ball Trudy. Do you think she has something against deserts?
CC, now I get what you are saying. I was looking at that video, emphasis "looking" :::big grin:: So glad to know someone that has used it. Do you feel that when you were using it that it was effective? I know what you mean about "wow" and all that gym time. I am surrounded with people/family who do and frankly, it is exhausting. I am definitely an "amped up Eeyore" to their "very amped up Tigger" LOL!
I'm just busting in with a petty rant. This nasty old nurse at my office gave me holy hell this morning for coming in wearing a hoodie and not a jacket today. To clarify, it was 55 degrees here today, almost shorts weather in Chicago. I proceed to tell her this, and she busts out with a "well, maybe when you have children, if THAT ever happens, you might be inclined to take better care of yourself." WTH? It was a f'n summer day here today! Gah.
Rant over.
Hello CC and Trudy!! :D
How is everyone tonight, on this beautiful Tuesday evening?
I stayed at school late today preparing a unit on perspective for Grade 3 Art. I am really excited about this unit because it takes so LONG and it will give me a break from planning these incessant art lessons. After that, symmetry. And with Mother's Day and Father's Day that pretty much takes care of the rest of the year for Art, anyway!
Blessed, blessed March break begins on Monday March 15. Of course I always have mixed feelings about school "breaks" because I have 2 boys at home myself. But they're very good, we do fun stuff. Just no "me" time like some single teachers get. So I'll back to school on the 22nd tired but from my own kids, you know?
A movie, Laserquest, local bookstore has lots of things planned, Michael's for some crafty stuff. Also my kids asked to go bowling, we haven't been in years. No out of town stuff, or overnights, we have a big summer vacation planned so we're going low-key for March Break. The kids would've loved to go to Great Wolf Lodge again, but maybe we'll do that Thanksgiving.
Bella: what's that? Is that where everything white glows? Didn't know you could do that bowling, not sure if there's anything around here like that. Hmmmm, worth looking into, sounds fun.
Kristin: It's really pricey, I think, but both times I went I got a teacher discount, once it was only around $150/night (basic room, not theme rooms which were gorgeous), and that included 1 night stay, waterpark for the 4 of us the day of arrival, and the following day too. That's a good deal! The second time I went not as good a deal, I think $180 something like that but still a pretty good deal. Last Christmas we tried a different water park in Niagara Falls but it wasn't as good. But because it wasn't as good (but cheaper anyway) we got out into the city and did fun stuff with the kids, so there's that.
When we do a water park again, we'll go to GWL again although my husband hates that place. I like that everything you need is on-site: water park, arcade, fast food, sit down meals, microwave and fridge in the room to bring your own food (we did), kid activities all the time, kid-friendly decor. I sure do love GWL. My kids prefered it too.
Bella, I think that old nurse likes you. Not in *that way, but like you're her kid way because that's so something my mom would say to me.
I was reading JM's Tweets. This is just so lovely for a pregnant woman to be doing. *eyeroll* "Driving to the slum now. We're breaking into groups of 3 because it's so dangerous & there's a hired bodyguard with each of us."
AP - From what I saw yesterday on the MWOP blog, the whole group that was going was told to enter and leave as quickly as possible and to not take pictures. This was taken from the poster that called JM on not giving credit to the gal that supposedly took the pictures from a hidden camera. Apparently there are other blogs up from people that are on the same trip.
Hi BD! I'm zoning out and it's still so early for me. Last night that happened too. I'm crashing and needing a few days, thank God for March Break coming up.
Thanks to all who made comments about A. I picked her up from school today, and she had drawn me many pictures. I took her to ballet, worked out while she was in Childwatch, then took a family Zumba class with her, which has for the past few weeks been "our" thing. She seems all right, although she nearly went off when I told her to put her things away (once we got home). But I managed not to yell again, which makes me feel slightly better. :)
I, of course, wrecked my whole workout by coming home and devouring a bowl of mashed potatoes made with half and half and butter. So now I feel compelled to do Pilates or some other form of calorie burn. But whatever.
BD, you should never fight the mashed potatoes any more than you should fight the sleep. Just bask in them and worry about it tomorrow. Glad A. was happier today, too. :-)
Bella, I'm now convinced JM has lost what sense she had left. Shame on Israel *and Compassion for not putting their feet down and insisting she take part in this trip another time, too.
Hey all! I can't stick around but just wanted to throw out my thoughts on a few things!
Suz- I'm not any better but I was so bored last night and really wanted some company to chat with! I miss all of you!
Trudy- I bow down to you, girl! Your comments about a certain three people were dead on. I really am sorry you got banned.
Cupcake- Hey girl! I'm sorry to hear that you got banned as well! Goodness, Won is shooting herself in the foot left and right. She's running out of people to ban!
Sandy- Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about transcription work? I'm sorry to hear that you have not been paid for your work. That really sucks!
KaytieJ- I have not forgotten about the red beans and rice recipe! I spent most of the day in the ER and didn't take time to find it yet. I'm sorry for not getting it to you. I'll make sure I get it for you tomorrow after my doctor's appointment.
Kristin- Have you come up with a gift for the baby shower? I have a couple of thoughts if you are interested. Some homemade things that I could get to you.
Karen- Oh, your poor niece! That sounds like a really bad bed sore. An infection that enters the bloodstream is quite dangerous. It can easily be fatal. My mom almost died from getting e. coli in her bloodstream. I will be praying that your niece gets this taken care of right away.
BD- I'm so sorry that A had such a rough day! Don't feel like a bad mother... everyone has off days!
Shannon- I feel your pain on the no insurance thing. I'm fighting that battle too. I don't understand why they simply remove your uterus. Mom has abnormal pap smears every year and has to be checked again. It really sucks that you are having to deal with this. I'm sorry!
Bella- Good grief, what a rude nurse! For crying out loud, you're not a three year old! Why is she worried about what you are wearing?
I'm so jealous of those of you that have horses! When my aunt died, I inherited her two year old horse. It was such a blessing to be able to take care of Comanche for her. I had to give him up because of the paralysis and whatnot. I miss riding so much!
I hope everyone's day has gone well. I'm off to bed. Lisa, get rid of that stomach bug!
Tee - I am sorry to hear you spent the day at the ER. I don't know people's stories since I am new, but you mentioned paralysis? I hope so much they helped in the ER. Hope your night goes well!
I'm okay - i got a full nights sleep - woo hoo! LM woke up around 5:00 but did not wake up (or I didn't hear him and he didn't come to my room) from the time I put him down at 8:00 until 5:00.
Shannon - I'm sorry for the bad news you got. It certainly isn't a good week for you :(
Bella- You know what I'd do? I'd go to work wearing a short-sleeved cardigan, just to annoy that nurse. Oh yes, I'm passive-aggressive like that ;-)
Re: pregnancies. I've obviously never been pregnant but my mom says the first trimester with both of her pregnancies was HELL (she had all-day sickness) but she enjoyed her second and third trimesters. Of course, my mom's a freak who only gained 20 lbs with both of her pregnancies (I was 6.6 lbs at birth and my sis was 6.2lbs). With me, she went into labor around 6 a.m. and I was born at 11 a.m. the same day. I hope she gave me her genes :: knocking on wood::
It's raining today. Not that i can complain, really, because we have had sunshine and 60 the last 2 days. Now I just need to find something to do with Ryla so she doesn't go stir crazy inside.
Hi Everybody! Taiya, I'm so happy that the pie was well received! I'm having some people over Saturday night, and none of them have had it yet, so I'm going to make it for them.
Mulie hasn't been by lately, has she? Maybe yesterday morning but not since then? Where are you, Mulie?
Taiya, I'm sorry but I'm in a REALLY foul mood today. If I had the balls, I'd pack me and the kids and leave today. But since I don't have a job or a place to go, I stay.
Apparently in her eyes I am to have no life. I went out with a girlfriend a few weeks ago and was excited to tell MIL about it. I guess I'm suppose to just stay home, not have friends, and clean house.
In the past year he has developed several online friendships with women without my knowledge. We were separated for almost 6 months last year, so it was pretty easy for him to do without my knowledge.
Mulie, I have found some very interesting information while spying on my AH husband and then some. It would make your head spin and ya'll would be wondering why I'm still with him.
Mulie, that sucks. My AH husband "reunited" with his old girlfriend on FB. I have record of everything that was said including "their meeting up" when he was supposed to be at his brother's house.
I didn't find out until December that he had this whole network of "friends" and I got into some deleted and sent emails/messages. By then, most of those relationships had fizzled out. He was on a site called checkoutmyink.com I knew about his activity on the site, but I don't know that it was basically Facebook for degenerates.
He had a "girlfriend" aka cyber-whore. The he actually met up with in Vegas on a work trip, but according to everything in black and white, all they did was hold hands.
I doesn't know that I have passwords into all of his accounts and can read everything he sends out and receives. There really isn't anything horrible, but enough to make me want to jack him in his jaw. I have to be careful though, because he could change all his passwords and I would then have no clue.
To top it all off, he is truly clinically depressed and on medication. I can tell from what I've seen written by him that he has probably been drinking since he went on deployment.
Mulie I'm sorry! Be very careful. I opened my mouth and he changed passwords. But...he has gotten lazy or stupid and leaves himself signed in. I don't use the computer he does. I have my own laptop. He was supposed to stop all contact with the girlfriend, but of course he didn't.
'Morning, Daisies. Mulie, Sandy, I am *so sorry for you both, having to deal with this stuff. Mulie, especially with him being deployed, that has to make it harder. Sandy, could you ever take the kids and go live with family until you could get on your feet alone?
Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins*
Them's the rules...all of them.
Have fun!

You're surely sue some, Shannon. I swear, you've had your bad luck and most of someone else's. Any word on the equipment?
sue=due
Nothing yet....hoping that Jeremy will have a day off tomorrow so he can figure out what all was in the trailer and truck to finish the police report. The officer said if they find stuff they hold it for 30 days and chances are a lot of the stuff will end up on the side of the road somewhere.
AP - haven't seen video yet-connection so s l o w today. Just seeing the pic of Susan Day put a smile on my face. Hope you are feeling better.
AP - lovin the partridge family theme song - it reminds me of my partridge lunch box that smelled like tuna fish and spoiled milk.
AP - are you feeling better?
Well LM ate well at school and is in a really good mood.
That is odd Shannon that you were sick with a boy, I was never sick (or I was too busy and stressed to know).
Hi friends - popping on in between afternoon and evening performances of the 4th grade musical.
Trudy! So good to hear from you here.
Shannon - I'm sorry it's been such a rough week. Sending hope for good things your way.
Hey CK! How is everyone?
good luck with the musical!
Hello!
OMG, Margaret! You totally brought that sour lunch box smell back to me! My favorite lunch box was my Holly Hobbie one. I dug her. Mostly because she was easy to draw, what with the no face and all.
Hey cupcake - long time no see your cute little baked goods.
Kristin - dress rehearsal went well this a.m. Matinee even better at 1:30. Now the evening show. Short and sweet - and none of the set fell over. Kids did a nice job this afternoon. Hoping tonight is a hit.
Cupcake - how the hell are you?
I've missed you!
I had a Partridge Family lunch box.
BD,
When I read your comments about your daughter, I think back to mine. Quite sensitive and picky. I read stuff about "The Spirited Child" and it seem to fit her well.
Written by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
Sounds great CK!
Hi Kristin - I'm doing well, how are you?
Hi CK!
Hi SW!
CK - tired but good.
i mean cupcake - doh! see how tired I am?
I'm tired too. Fighting allergies and losing the battle. It's really windy and chilly here today.
I figured that was meant for me. Are you home or still at work?
at home! it's 6:30 here.
Hey CK thanks....it has to get better is what I keep saying :)
Kristin with my daughter it was a wonderful uneventful pregnancy but her delivery was LONG and HARD....at one point I had the nurse and the doctor pushing on my belly to get her out.
My son was a horrible pregnancy with a long ass baby who wanted ALL the space available, made me sick, anemic, and a whole list of other non life threatening things but the labor was pretty quick and painless LOL
Hey cupcake....windy and chilly? I dont remember you being my neighbor LOL
Students are arriving early (as usual). Finding things for them to do -
Bye!
Shannon - I am your neighbor, just south of you, right?
I am trying to remember cupcake...I am in Oregon.
Kristin - What did you make for dinner? It's getting more and more difficult for me to make dinner as the boys get older. Josh will be at the fire station so, tonight it's just me and (the pickiest eater on the planet)Jake at home and I have no idea what to prepare.
Shannon - Southern CA
CC - since LM has been sick -nothing - I made mac & cheese and dino nuggets for him and last night I had a stouffer's cordon bleu pasta - so I reheated leftovers. The cordon bleu pasta was really good.
We arent that close of neighbors LOL...but closer than some of these daisy addicts :)
So I guess Southern CA decided to have another bit of winter weather before spring really gets here again.
I felt so bad earlier today. I logged on to blogger, clicked on to SIP and realized that I am no longer an "invited reader". I haven't posted in a really long time so I'm sure that was why, but it just felt weird to be "uninvited".
So LM was talking to me while going potty - pretty much the only time I have his undivided attention. He was telling me stories, etc. Then he looks at me and says, "mommy, you hair looks funnee!"
Gotta love him!
Oh no, you too. Sucks! Trudy was "uninvited" too.
Apparently Won has her banning stick out. AP - don't get any ideas!
Kristin - the pasta does sound good. I'm hungry already and it's only 4:40 here, I'm eating a bag of microwave popcorn otherwise I'll snack when I get home instead of dinner. I feel like I warm chicken nuggets every night for Jake. He'll turn 14 on March 16th and the kid only eats about 4 things: nuggets, pizza, pasta and top ramen noodles. Oh, and a side of applesauce! I wonder how he is even still alive!
Trudy? cake-ball, Trudy? Why was she uninvited?
Kristin - What's up with your hair?
Shannon - Yes, just one last bit of cold here. This Friday it's supposed to be 70, I can't wait!
WOW it has been a busy banning day or so over at SIP apparently but what ya gonna do right?
Did you all hear the report that the earthquake in Chile moved the town that was near the epicenter, Conception, 10 feet to the west?
That is freaking crazy to me.
not sure, i just had it pulled back.
Yes Trudy, cake ball trudy :)
I couldn't ban anyone here if I tried!
CC, I'm sorry you got booted, too. We'll sure keep you, though. :-) I'm not sure Trudy knows why she was booted or even cares, now.
Kristin, I'm feeling better, thanks! Glad LM is, too!
So I went to walgreens to find motrin for LM yesterday b/c they didn't have any at Wal-mart. I ended up buying infant - uggggghhh. Anywho, there were these large bars of chocolate - and one said with Chili and it reminded me of AP's trip to the World Market. These are called Lindtt Chocolate - i got the Chili and the Orange - dark chocolate. They are pretty good. The chili one has a bit of a bite but only after about a minute, while you are eating it - just tastes chocolatey - only after a little while does it come back to bite. I like it!
Awww...AP, thanks for keeping me!
I don't feel so bad now that I know cake ball Trudy was booted too. Maybe it was time to clean house at SIP, hmmmm.
Kristin - That sounds so so good. I love orange - dark chocolate. I'll have to look for that at Walgreens out here.
it is.
Anyone been to BF today? Mck's down a couple thousand members today.
Nope Christy - I only go there to fight Shannon's battles :) j/k!
Kristin, I looove dark chocolate with chili. It's really the only candy I do love.
By the way, I still have my old Partridge Family and Flipper thermos bottles out of my lunchboxes!
Is SW around? If you read this, I have some major smooches for you! PB Pie was a complete hit, all around! I scored major wifey points!
Christy- BF weeded out dead accounts. Plus they were having some major malfunctions because they updated profiles.
Yeah Taiya!
Hi CC! Another left coaster here. YAY! Cold and windy here, too. Door blew open and three muddy dogs came tromping through my (was clean) front room-LOL!
Shannon-I thought you were in Seattle area. I am south Washington. Howdy neighbor!
Wonderful Taiya! SW - post the PB pie recipe, or can AP can we cut and paste it there AP?
Hi KaytieJ! I hear you about the muddy dogs, I am so tired of cleaning up after mine. I am ready for Friday's weather and then the time change on Sunday! I'm planning to start hiking in our local canyon after work next week.
So jealous CC! :(
Time change...I completely forgot....but yay!!!! I am working Sunday night and so that means one less hour out of my 13!!! Ooooh,,,but I should not be too happy because that means the Monday workers get less sleep :::ducking head:::
Have a wonderful time hiking CC! I lived in Glendora when young and I loved it there. All the sunshine and flowers. That was LONG ago!
Kristin - about hiking? I'm looking forward to it, the boys usually run the short one (2miles) and I walk, it's a great workout. I'm sure I'll be huffing and puffing, I haven't been to the gym or shred(ed) in a month. Once I build up some stamina, I'll do the 5mile hike on a Saturday, it's a tough hike.
That sounds like so much fun! We just have small parks here so no hiking. :(
Thanks, KaytieJ. I love that the canyon is only 2.5 miles from our house. Glendora is about 50 miles southeast of me.
Kristin - Come visit me and we'll hike.
I would love to.
Kaytie, whatever y'all do with recipes works for me. Here, in the recipe link, I don't care!
CC - you mentioned "shredding" I have a cousin who does body modeling/sculpting competitions. When she talks of shredding it sounds grueling, to me anyway. Not sure if it is the same term we're talking. But when you do go to shred, hope all goes well.
Kristin- how are the sickies?
Taiya - LM seems to be doing well. They said he ate fine at school, actually better than normal but not much of an appetite tonight.
SO went to work but he was awake when I moved from LM's room to my room at 5:45 this morning.
I now think I am coming down with something, I keep coughing. I just want sleep.
I need to find out who sells melotonin (sp) - anyone know?
KaytieJ - I am far from competing, lol! 30 Day Shred is an exercise DVD created by Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser. Funny you mention the competitions though, I was at a 24 year high school get together on Saturday and one of my former classmates has been training for a couple of years. She looked amazing, she competes in "figure", wow! I just don't have the will power to dedicate myself to all of that dieting and gym time.
Talk with ya later all! Off to get my not so Little Man from Speech & Debate...and praying he is not in debate mood with Mom on drive home-\!
Good luck Kaytie!
Thanks Taiya!
Alright, time for me to clean off my desk and head home. My feisty son awaits! Have a great night, talk to you all later.
night cupcake, it was GREAT to see you!
Oh no, I missed Cupcake! Well it looks like someone's been very busy on SIP, banning Cupcake and Cake-Ball Trudy. Do you think she has something against deserts?
CC, now I get what you are saying. I was looking at that video, emphasis "looking" :::big grin:: So glad to know someone that has used it. Do you feel that when you were using it that it was effective?
I know what you mean about "wow" and all that gym time. I am surrounded with people/family who do and frankly, it is exhausting. I am definitely an "amped up Eeyore" to their "very amped up Tigger" LOL!
FT...that must be it.
I'm just busting in with a petty rant. This nasty old nurse at my office gave me holy hell this morning for coming in wearing a hoodie and not a jacket today. To clarify, it was 55 degrees here today, almost shorts weather in Chicago. I proceed to tell her this, and she busts out with a "well, maybe when you have children, if THAT ever happens, you might be inclined to take better care of yourself." WTH? It was a f'n summer day here today! Gah.
Rant over.
Hello CC and Trudy!! :D
How is everyone tonight, on this beautiful Tuesday evening?
lol! Desserts!
FT, I LOVE dessert. Bring on cake balls and cupcakes for everyone!
Bella, that's shorts and flip flops weather here.
Just crossing off each incredibly long day before March break here....
How much longer with the little devils, FT?
I stayed at school late today preparing a unit on perspective for Grade 3 Art. I am really excited about this unit because it takes so LONG and it will give me a break from planning these incessant art lessons. After that, symmetry. And with Mother's Day and Father's Day that pretty much takes care of the rest of the year for Art, anyway!
Blessed, blessed March break begins on Monday March 15. Of course I always have mixed feelings about school "breaks" because I have 2 boys at home myself. But they're very good, we do fun stuff. Just no "me" time like some single teachers get. So I'll back to school on the 22nd tired but from my own kids, you know?
just a few more days FT - big plans?
I have a question:
If so many of the SIP originals have either left voluntarily, or have been banned, is there anyone left at SIP besides a handful of girls?
A movie, Laserquest, local bookstore has lots of things planned, Michael's for some crafty stuff. Also my kids asked to go bowling, we haven't been in years. No out of town stuff, or overnights, we have a big summer vacation planned so we're going low-key for March Break. The kids would've loved to go to Great Wolf Lodge again, but maybe we'll do that Thanksgiving.
Bella: I can only think of about 6 offhand. Maybe there's more, not sure. I guess that's a nice cohesive group.
FT, you should go blacklight bowling! It's my favorite.
Bella - no idea - I'm pretty sure there is a core group, not sure who else.
I would love to go to Great Wolf Lodge.
Bella: what's that? Is that where everything white glows? Didn't know you could do that bowling, not sure if there's anything around here like that. Hmmmm, worth looking into, sounds fun.
There is a Great Wolf in Wisconsin Dells. I've never been, but I did stay at the Kalahari, which was really fun.
FT, they turn off the regular lights, and turn on blacklights, so the pins glow, some of the bowling balls glow, etc. It's fun!
Kristin: It's really pricey, I think, but both times I went I got a teacher discount, once it was only around $150/night (basic room, not theme rooms which were gorgeous), and that included 1 night stay, waterpark for the 4 of us the day of arrival, and the following day too. That's a good deal! The second time I went not as good a deal, I think $180 something like that but still a pretty good deal. Last Christmas we tried a different water park in Niagara Falls but it wasn't as good. But because it wasn't as good (but cheaper anyway) we got out into the city and did fun stuff with the kids, so there's that.
When we do a water park again, we'll go to GWL again although my husband hates that place. I like that everything you need is on-site: water park, arcade, fast food, sit down meals, microwave and fridge in the room to bring your own food (we did), kid activities all the time, kid-friendly decor. I sure do love GWL. My kids prefered it too.
BD - :::sticking tongue out at nasty old nurse for you::: Enjoy your fine weather!
Bella, the pins glow too? That sounds fun! I'm going to call the local bowling alleys and see if they have something like that.
Random: My new favorite word..."automagical"
KayteJ, mine is "dramatical". Flava Flav used it.
"Bitches bein' all dramatical up in here!"
Good evening, all. Can't stay and chat, but wanted to say hi.
Kristin -- Melatonin can be found at a health food store. Whatcha want that for?
FT, sometimes they call it "cosmic bowling", too. :D
Hiya RIM :)
Bella - LOL! I like yours, too! Mine was heard off a commercial watching Brian Regan's: Epitome of Hyperbole.
Okay Bella you are amazing, I just googled Cosmic Bowling and the name of the city I live in and there it was! Can't wait to show the kids tomorrow.
Hi, RiM!
Hey RiM!
I wanna try to use a little for LM, see if he can sleep all night.
I hope they like it, FT. I do, and I am WAY older, lol!
KayteJ, check out this website: http://www.unwords.com/alpha/ALL/0.html
All made up words!
Just popping in to say hi. I am a sheet and a half to the wind and will commence reading Breaking Dawn shortly.
Hope all is well.
Bella - I shall. Thank you!
FT - my DH takes the kids (my son and his friends)to a place that does the black light bowling and they love it! Enjoy!!!
going to bed ladies!
night!
Goodnight, Kristin!
Jill, I'm envious of your wind status.
Bella, I think that old nurse likes you. Not in *that way, but like you're her kid way because that's so something my mom would say to me.
I was reading JM's Tweets. This is just so lovely for a pregnant woman to be doing. *eyeroll* "Driving to the slum now. We're breaking into groups of 3 because it's so dangerous & there's a hired bodyguard with each of us."
G'night, Kristin!
Sweet dreams,Kristin and anyone else heading off. :-)
AP, JM has gone over the wall with this latest trip. She's bonkers.
I read a reference here earlier about a MWOP wall of shame, what the heck is that? Then it was taken down so now I'll never know. :0(
AP - From what I saw yesterday on the MWOP blog, the whole group that was going was told to enter and leave as quickly as possible and to not take pictures. This was taken from the poster that called JM on not giving credit to the gal that supposedly took the pictures from a hidden camera. Apparently there are other blogs up from people that are on the same trip.
Hey all!
I saw that too FT, but it was gone by the time I got there.
I have the worst case of heartburn right now. It's the heart attack feeling kind. Waiting for meds to kick in.
Hi all. :)
Hi BD! I'm zoning out and it's still so early for me. Last night that happened too. I'm crashing and needing a few days, thank God for March Break coming up.
Thanks to all who made comments about A. I picked her up from school today, and she had drawn me many pictures. I took her to ballet, worked out while she was in Childwatch, then took a family Zumba class with her, which has for the past few weeks been "our" thing. She seems all right, although she nearly went off when I told her to put her things away (once we got home). But I managed not to yell again, which makes me feel slightly better. :)
Hey, FT. Don't fight...embrace the sleep,.
I, of course, wrecked my whole workout by coming home and devouring a bowl of mashed potatoes made with half and half and butter. So now I feel compelled to do Pilates or some other form of calorie burn. But whatever.
BD, you should never fight the mashed potatoes any more than you should fight the sleep. Just bask in them and worry about it tomorrow. Glad A. was happier today, too. :-)
Bella, I'm now convinced JM has lost what sense she had left. Shame on Israel *and Compassion for not putting their feet down and insisting she take part in this trip another time, too.
Hey all! I can't stick around but just wanted to throw out my thoughts on a few things!
Suz- I'm not any better but I was so bored last night and really wanted some company to chat with! I miss all of you!
Trudy- I bow down to you, girl! Your comments about a certain three people were dead on. I really am sorry you got banned.
Cupcake- Hey girl! I'm sorry to hear that you got banned as well! Goodness, Won is shooting herself in the foot left and right. She's running out of people to ban!
Sandy- Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about transcription work? I'm sorry to hear that you have not been paid for your work. That really sucks!
KaytieJ- I have not forgotten about the red beans and rice recipe! I spent most of the day in the ER and didn't take time to find it yet. I'm sorry for not getting it to you. I'll make sure I get it for you tomorrow after my doctor's appointment.
Kristin- Have you come up with a gift for the baby shower? I have a couple of thoughts if you are interested. Some homemade things that I could get to you.
Karen- Oh, your poor niece! That sounds like a really bad bed sore. An infection that enters the bloodstream is quite dangerous. It can easily be fatal. My mom almost died from getting e. coli in her bloodstream. I will be praying that your niece gets this taken care of right away.
BD- I'm so sorry that A had such a rough day! Don't feel like a bad mother... everyone has off days!
Shannon- I feel your pain on the no insurance thing. I'm fighting that battle too. I don't understand why they simply remove your uterus. Mom has abnormal pap smears every year and has to be checked again. It really sucks that you are having to deal with this. I'm sorry!
Bella- Good grief, what a rude nurse! For crying out loud, you're not a three year old! Why is she worried about what you are wearing?
I'm so jealous of those of you that have horses! When my aunt died, I inherited her two year old horse. It was such a blessing to be able to take care of Comanche for her. I had to give him up because of the paralysis and whatnot. I miss riding so much!
I hope everyone's day has gone well. I'm off to bed. Lisa, get rid of that stomach bug!
Tee - I am sorry to hear you spent the day at the ER. I don't know people's stories since I am new, but you mentioned paralysis? I hope so much they helped in the ER. Hope your night goes well!
Morning all!
Hey Taiya - what part of Michigan? I'm originally from Michigan and my grandpa lives (in the summer) in the UP.
Well need to finish getting me and the LM ready.
Oh, and I get you on the furnace thing (kinda) - I am always cold and my sister is always burning up.
Alright, see ya guys later!
I'm okay - i got a full nights sleep - woo hoo! LM woke up around 5:00 but did not wake up (or I didn't hear him and he didn't come to my room) from the time I put him down at 8:00 until 5:00.
My throat is weird but I think I will survive!
Thanks!
Okay, I'm off!
Hi ladies!
Shannon - I'm sorry for the bad news you got. It certainly isn't a good week for you :(
Bella- You know what I'd do? I'd go to work wearing a short-sleeved cardigan, just to annoy that nurse. Oh yes, I'm passive-aggressive like that ;-)
Re: pregnancies. I've obviously never been pregnant but my mom says the first trimester with both of her pregnancies was HELL (she had all-day sickness) but she enjoyed her second and third trimesters.
Of course, my mom's a freak who only gained 20 lbs with both of her pregnancies (I was 6.6 lbs at birth and my sis was 6.2lbs).
With me, she went into labor around 6 a.m. and I was born at 11 a.m. the same day.
I hope she gave me her genes :: knocking on wood::
Wow, Taiya! I guess it's good that you feel great now but sick for 5 months? Yikes.
You are due in May, right? When? (I'm a May baby myself. I was born on the 6th) :)
okay, I'm back!
It's raining today. Not that i can complain, really, because we have had sunshine and 60 the last 2 days. Now I just need to find something to do with Ryla so she doesn't go stir crazy inside.
Anti-nausea meds that make you sick? That's like a nightmare ;)
Hi Kristin!
I have to go to an appt, then movie with friends. I might BBL but if not, see you tomorrow :)
bye corinne! Have fun!
What movie?
Kristin- Precious. It just came out in theaters here :)
I'm really off, now.
Have a good day!
Morning Ladies! How is everyone today?
hye sandy! It's okay! How are you?
What is Precious? I tried to find it on IMDB, but am not having luck...
Bye Corinne! Have fun!
Corey Haim was found dead at age 38 due to a accidental drug overdose. How sad is that?
Never mind. Found it. It is under: Precious: Based on the Novel Push
Precious was nominated for a few Academy Awards. My MIL from hell wanted her dollar back. She thought it was awful.
Oh no Sandy!
Definitely sad.
My MIL from hell is right up there with my asshole husband.
MIL called me a whore. NICE! She's evil and so is her son.
Hi Everybody! Taiya, I'm so happy that the pie was well received! I'm having some people over Saturday night, and none of them have had it yet, so I'm going to make it for them.
Mulie hasn't been by lately, has she? Maybe yesterday morning but not since then? Where are you, Mulie?
Taiya, I'm sorry but I'm in a REALLY foul mood today. If I had the balls, I'd pack me and the kids and leave today. But since I don't have a job or a place to go, I stay.
Apparently in her eyes I am to have no life. I went out with a girlfriend a few weeks ago and was excited to tell MIL about it. I guess I'm suppose to just stay home, not have friends, and clean house.
SW- Matt was *so happy with that pie! It was so easy, too. (Not that I'll tell him that. Let him think I slaved over it)
Sandy - if we lived closer, I'd let you stay :)
I am sorry you are having a rough time. :(
I might add that was the first time that I have gone out without kids or a husband in 14 years!
Taiya, I know right. What was I thinking?
My MIL is 77 and hangs out in Cougar clubs in Florida. She dated a man that was in his 50's. Now who's the flooze!
haha @ flooze. Love that word. That and "hussy".
So Sandy, since I don't really know much about anyone yet... how many kids?
I have two. A nine year old girl who has autism and a four year old son. I've got my hands full.
Sounds like it.
Well, I am off. Got a couple of throw pillows and pillow cases to make. Hope your day gets better, Sandy!
Morning all:
How about:
trollope
harlot
courtesan?
Or, for another angle:
harpy
harridan
Those are good BD! My personal favorite is trollope. lol
see ya taiya!
Hey BD!
Good morning, all! I'm around. Spent time yesterday contemplating some information I found while spying on my husband.
Good Morning All
Oh No Muliebrity
Hey trudy!
Do tell Mulie?
This is funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcNvoIOGihI&feature=related
In the past year he has developed several online friendships with women without my knowledge. We were separated for almost 6 months last year, so it was pretty easy for him to do without my knowledge.
Mulie - I'm sorry!
Mulie, I have found some very interesting information while spying on my AH husband and then some. It would make your head spin and ya'll would be wondering why I'm still with him.
Mulie, that sucks. My AH husband "reunited" with his old girlfriend on FB. I have record of everything that was said including "their meeting up" when he was supposed to be at his brother's house.
I didn't find out until December that he had this whole network of "friends" and I got into some deleted and sent emails/messages. By then, most of those relationships had fizzled out. He was on a site called checkoutmyink.com I knew about his activity on the site, but I don't know that it was basically Facebook for degenerates.
Oh no! Yikes! :(
He had a "girlfriend" aka cyber-whore. The he actually met up with in Vegas on a work trip, but according to everything in black and white, all they did was hold hands.
I'm so sorry, Sandy and Mulie.
I doesn't know that I have passwords into all of his accounts and can read everything he sends out and receives. There really isn't anything horrible, but enough to make me want to jack him in his jaw. I have to be careful though, because he could change all his passwords and I would then have no clue.
Forget it. I am too lazy today.
Mulie- sorry! That's miserable!
To top it all off, he is truly clinically depressed and on medication. I can tell from what I've seen written by him that he has probably been drinking since he went on deployment.
Mulie - I am sorry :(
I need to do something, but just haven't figured it out yet.
Mulie I'm sorry! Be very careful. I opened my mouth and he changed passwords. But...he has gotten lazy or stupid and leaves himself signed in. I don't use the computer he does. I have my own laptop. He was supposed to stop all contact with the girlfriend, but of course he didn't.
That's rough! :(
He is just being very reckless in general and since he is currently 16 house ahead of me, he has plenty of free time for another month.
'Morning, Daisies. Mulie, Sandy, I am *so sorry for you both, having to deal with this stuff. Mulie, especially with him being deployed, that has to make it harder. Sandy, could you ever take the kids and go live with family until you could get on your feet alone?
Sandy - it is hard but it sounds like you need to do it. There is no reason for you to be miserable. I'm one to talk..lol.
Mulie - uggghhhhh!
Men are such schmucks!
AP - how are you feeling!
SW - I saw you pop on! Hi!
I have better shit to worry about then this! This situation is made all the more difficult by his suicidal tenancies.
oh, no good mulie :(
Kristin, much better - thanks!
Mulie, would notifying his commanding officer be at all worth trying? not to get him in trouble to get him help?
It's just complicated. What isn't complicated?
Mulie and Sandy. Men suck, and I'm sorry for what you've been through and are going through. Crap.
