the daisy rules
- Oopsie Daisy
- 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!
do something good

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 275 Newer› Newest»AP- Stay safe!!
SW- Ugh! Your secretary needs to be sent one of these letters from Harry Potter that can scream at a person :P
SW, thanks I would love that recipe.
Hey Corinne!
AP, batten down the hatches..I always wanted to say that.
repost:
SW -- Sounds delicious! Too heavy to go as bread for dinner, but I do love that PW olive cheese bread recipe and have made it several times to rave reviews.
Hi Suz!!
Suz, I posted the recipe.
SW, cool..gonna go have a look. thank you SW!
OT- House's writers definitely read Mck's blog!
Thanks for the good storm wishes, all! This bunch looks like it could be exciting!
SW, that menu sounds soooo good. And your secretary is an idiot. I'd just keep repeating "it say on my email."
Kaytie, so sorry you're sick. Is it a cold or the flu?
Yeah, SW - I would say - "did you read my e-mail?" - or "can you please tell me what my e-mail said?"
AP - do your cat's go crazy during storms?
Any new developments in the computer case?
Corinne. really? You mean they have character that is an over the top non religious God loving person who is abused but chooses to stay with her abuser who ignores her older children to make money of her sick kid who House can't heal but God does? lol I kid I kid :)
Suz- LOL!
Have you seen the latest episode of House? If not, watch it. You'll know what I mean ;) (it's about a famous blogger who's sick)
Lordy, Robin, the olive cheese bread looks to die for!
y'all heard Merlin Olsen died?
That olive cheese bread is just *stupid good.
Corinne, I have not watched it recently, but do love that show! I am going to have to buy the episodes on dvd so I can watch it when I want.
"AP - do your cat's go crazy during storms?"
Not crazy but very, very nervous. Twitchy nervous. Then they tend to all lump up on the couch together, like there's safety in numbers or something.
"Any new developments in the computer case?"
Yeah, he got it back!
So, Grayson lost interest quickly and I checked in on Mckdaddy. Ugh - someone should tell him that less is more. I mostly just skimmed, but I didn't see any mention of his privates - phew. I did get an awesome coupon for $1.50 off OxiClean out of the deal. Not too shabby.
Stay safe Floridians!!
I knew that AP - but did the dad fess up or the friend find out any more info?
Just wondering.
Suz- I <3 House. Probably a little too much since I know entire dialogues of some episodes :P
sorry AP - that sounded rude - I didn't mean for it to sound that way.
My bad!
Linds, Oh what he he babbling about now??
Wow that bread looks good. damn, all this food talk, makes me hungry!
Kristin, I read it as you meant it! No, no more word on that. We'll never know, I'm sure.
I'm starving now...thanks, y'all.
How the poor people of the Mathare Valley are in spiritual poverty. I guess that means because they aren't Christian. And that they are prone to addiction. Or some such stuff. I really couldn't tell you because my mind wandered to the oxi-clean offer for a coupon, and I clicked on that :) At my house, that's nearly as good as a coupon for tequila!
SW - btw, clearly I cannot sponsor you. I am not strong enough. Totally fell of the wagon today.
How many days clean did you have before you fell off, Lindsay? Want me to sponsor you? ;-)
Please and thank you are such good words to use!
Thank you and come again!
My poor sister - I enjoy laughing at her frustrations!
alright ladies - I'm leaving in a few - I need to go drop the car seat off at daycare b/c I forgot to this morning. Then I am going to go home and get all my documents together and attempt to fit into something "professional" - send me good ju-ju b/w the hours of 5:00 - 8:00.
:)
I'm proud to say that I haven't read Mck in days (though I read MWoP 'coz they're funny/interesting). I do not intend to read PC's logorrhea.
Good luck, Kristin! I'll be thinking about you! Survivor's on betwee 7:00 and 8:00. That'll bring good ju-ju!
*note to self - make sure Survivor is set to record.
Alright - I'm out!
*see ya!
SW, I can be your sponsor. I can't stand to read JM's drivel. I haven't read there in a long time. LOL
Sending good vibes Kristin.
Sending good thoughts your way, Kristin!
Bye, Kristin! Good luck!
Kristin, I missed what is going on for you but I send my best positive thoughts your way!
Okay, great Sandy! I had a moment of weakness today, but resisted. If you could get AP to STFU about Israel, that would be very helpful to my sobriety. So much for personal responsibility, huh?
AP, SW is on the 12-Step program and would like you to STFU about RV! LOL I will not, on my watch, allow any enabling.
Good luck, Kristin!
SW, Sandy, I'm sorry about Israel but I just don't know how to quit him.
Sandy ROFLMAO!
IM lost the little respect and sympathy I had for him when he allowed his wife to post as if she were him.
Three words, Sandy: Best. MckSponsor. Ever.
Thank you. I will do my best. I think AP should join the program. It's the only way to let go.
AP -- That quote was not lost on me. I love that movie, but while the love story part of it gets me every time, I just can't reconcile cowboys and sheep.
In an aside, I found this interesting:
http://www.parentdish.com/2010/03/10/opinion-is-tweeting-our-family-tragedies-the-new-normal/?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl5|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parentdish.com%2F2010%2F03%2F10%2Fopinion-is-tweeting-our-family-tragedies-the-new-normal%2F
Good Luck Kristin! Sending positive vibes although I've probably already missed you :)
SW - I only had a work week under my belt. It actually might have only been 4 days. I've been trying so very hard. But my curiosity grows stronger and then I just. can't. fight. it.
Sandy are you capable of handling 2 addicts?
The more the merrier Lindsay. I'm trying to get AP on board. RV has a tight hold on her though.
RiM - I couldn't agree more with the author. It's one thing to take on sadness for people you are a part of a forum with, people you have become friends with, but after Stellan, I couldn't take much more of that. If you or any daisy or fellowship girl had heartbreak, I would of course feel awful and do what I could to help, but I can't get wrapped up in every online tragedy, you know?
Does that make me mean or am I protecting my core? I don't know.
Robin, wow that piece is very interesting, and I tend to agree. It makes you think.
Sandy - Thank you, thank you! I think AP may be a tough sell. And I have a weird sadness for RV, though, I am now taking what Corinne said into consideration. That may change my point of view.
RiM- That is very interesting. And so very true!
Alright ladies, I'm off for today!
Have a good day!
Night Corinne!
Good night Corinne!! And thanks for following me :)
RIM & Lindsay, I ride the fence on this one. I think blogging or tweeting about your child illness is okay if you are trying to make the public aware of a specific disease or illness.
What I don't agree with is the over the top tweeting and blogging up until the very last breath of the child/spouse/friend/whomever. That is something that is private and IMO should remain so.
I do think it would be fair to readers to say that the child/spouse/friend/whomever did pass though.
Does that make sense?
g'night, Corinne!
I found that article very interesting. Lots to think about, I guess. I like what youy said about protecting your core, Lindsay.
I feel a sense of sadness for RV, too.
Robin, I loved that movie a lot. As for your article, I completely agree with it and it's one reason I stopped reading sick-kid blogs. I *was becoming immune and beginning to look at it as entertainment and that wasn't right. It's also not right, imno, for parents to put it out there for people to be entertained with. It's sick-kid porn, nothing more, for many.
I will not abandon Israel.
Sandy- I can agree with that. I do think the minute by minute of last breath tweets is kind of sick. That doesn't let someone go with dignity, IMO.
AP - You sound Jewish :) Maybe you need to start a "Free Israel" campaign.
AP, walk towards the light. Abandon him!
I'm out to get my kiddos. Please no enabling the girls. They are only on Step 1. LOL
I don't know, obviously, having never been there with a *child, but just looking at my mom and being there with her those last few hours, I would never in a million years been tweeting about it. I don't say that to judge, because we all handle what we have to handle in our own way, but I'm just saying, for *me, with my mother, not even a child, that last time was something intensely personal, to the point I resented all the people from my dad's church who were there and just trying to be supportive. It was between me and her, and my dad, no one else, and I would never have wanted to share that with anyone.
Which? Yeah, that just made me bawl. Dammit.
*have been
"I *was becoming immune and beginning to look at it as entertainment and that wasn't right." I feel the same way, and am ashamed to admit it. My first sick-kid blog was "He Will Carry Me," which I found through an IRL friend's blog. That blog chronicalled Stacy's pregnancy with her son Isaac who had multiple conditions that indicated he would not live after birth.
From there I found Angie Smith's Blog, and from there found Kelly Stamp's Blog and Stellan.
I "cared" about them all and cried and wished them well. (By the way, Stacy just had a healthy baby girl, and I'm so happy for her.) But I don't know them and it did kind of feel like using their tragedies for entertainment. And I try to avoid checking into new blogs that are pointed out.
I might feel differently if I were religious in any way and thought my prayers for them actually made a difference.
It's kind of weird, though. I am religious. But I think I figure, God performed miracles before there was the internet. Before the internet, I wouldn't have known about a little boy with a heart condition in Minnesota and wouldn't have prayed for him. Would the outcome have been different if *I hadn't prayed for him? I don't know. It probably helps to comfort the parents to know that people all over are praying for them, but does it cause God to perform a miracle? I don't know.
Whoa - that post was all over the place, wasn't it?
Oh, and since I'm so long-winded, that brought another question to mind. Is it quantity or quality? Sometimes I wonder with the whole internet prayer thing if people think the more people they have praying for them, the better their odds are. I don't know if I buy that. And as much as I appreciate good wishes and prayers from people I don't know, I would take one good prayer from my mother than 40 prayers from strangers.
Lindsay -- all interesting points. Here's what I wonder, and I know this has been brought up somewhere else I've been reading recently, just can't think where. If a million people are praying for your child and that child lives, is that proof that there were just enough prayers said? If somenone else's child dies, is that just becuase not enough people prayed? What if a million people are praying for your child and that child *still dies? What does that mean? You know?
RiM - I love you!
"It was between me and her, and my dad, no one else, and I would never have wanted to share that with anyone.
Which? Yeah, that just made me bawl. Dammit."
I went through this with my mom, and holding her in my arms. There is no way, NO WAY, I could take pics and tweet. It was me and her. When my son was almost intubated last year, I can not even imagine taking the time for pics of him, the monitors, the nurses and doctors, or tweets or posting them. My eyes and heart were for them only.
Someone here said that in special cases to raise awareness of certain diseases or disabilities that it would be ok. For that I agree. I just want to make sure the Rights of the individual to privacy are protected and they are not being exploited.
Robin - Exactly. I just don't know. And if you are supposed to believe (and I don't have my bible right here so I can't thump it and give you the exact passage) that all your days have already been written from the time you were in your mother's womb, does prayer about healing make a difference at all anyway.
Does God change His mind because the magic number of praying people was hit? I don't think so, but that's what that kind of mentality portrays God as doing.
My personal feeling is that when I pray for someone, it is that they accept God's will and that they find comfort in Him during their trials. I tell God what I hope for, but I doubt that He changes his mind because it's what *I wanted him to do.
And the more we talk about this, I can see why people who've lost a child find the McK's so damned offensive.
Kaytie -- thank you for understanding that. My eyes and heart were for them only. I love that. :*)
And yes, Lindsay, I agree, and I've gotten in a million arguments over the years on message board and such over that very topic -- I think it's appropriate to beg God for what you *want, but also at the same time to pray asking for the grace and strength to accept what's happening and whatever the final outcome may be. For *me, (and this is just my opinion) demanding God or even begging for a particular outcome just sets me personally up for too much of a fall. I think it's totally acceptable to plead for what you want to happen, but also with the knowledge in mind that just because I want it to happen doesn't mean it's going to, or that it's God's will.
On that note, I'm off to buy my chickens for beer butt chicken.
No shit, Lindsay. And that she is so blithe and nonchalant about the whole thing.
Enjoy the chickens! I must go sign Chloe up for preschool now. Sad. And happy. All at the same time.
Alright ladies - I'm out - wish me luck!
I leave with this playing in the background - Bust a move!
Lindsay "My personal feeling is that when I pray for someone, it is that they accept God's will and that they find comfort in Him during their trials. I tell God what I hope for, but I doubt that He changes his mind because it's what *I wanted him to do."
So well said.
Kristin - Good luck to you!!! Let us know how it goes, please.
Lindsay - Yes. That is such a sad and happy time!
Sue - if you're here, come out of lurkdom. We are good witches....
Maybe if we got some flying monkeys, that would tempt her . . .
Is anyone else having a problem posting today?
Sue,
I'm even wearing my Glinda costume.....
Ohhhh, pretty CK!!
Sandy, it often takes me three clicks on "post comment" to post. Especially from work. The first time I click, I usually get an error.
Encouraged Rhys to stop by too - she's on MWoP now.
I'll post. It says your comment has been posted. Then it doesn't show up. Then it's there after refreshing a half dozen times.
Off to counseling appt wearing my Glinda dress and tiara, with wand in hand. Do you think my therapist will want to discuss that?
CK, she may want to. Just saying.
::twirling out to the car::
Look at Glinda, I mean CK, go! Woo Hoo
Have a nice evening, Sandy. I'll be back on once my therapist has talked me out of the pink tulle.
You too CK. There's nothing wrong with pink tulle! lol
I miss anything good, ya'll?
I'm in St Louis now at my parents' and we head to Atlanta on Sunday.
Hi Mulie, not much happening here today.
I had to deal with the biggest bitch at the OB's office today.
Evening Dasies! I am sittng her with a glass of wine to unwind and man it is good. I think I will go fill up my glass before the hubs gets home so he can fill it up again when he walks in!
SW, when is your dinner party, tomorrow night?
Hi Mulie :O)
Dinner party is Saturday, Suz. I don't do Friday night dinner parties, generally speaking. Wine sounds good!
Survivor's on!!!
SW, It is only 5pm here. Go enjoy Survivor, I gotta go make dinner, bbl.
Mulie, what did the OB bitch do?
I thought my appt was at 11:30, but it was actually at 11. Since I was kept waiting over 2 hours my last appt you would think that my mix up was no big deal. Apparently it was to her. She totally bitched me out!
Hey ladies! I'm back. My feet are killing me and I'm tired.
I'm going to go spend some time with the boy!
I'll be back later!
Hey Kristin! How did it go?
Mulie, that's crazy. You got to see the Dr. though, right?
Taiya, how did your husband's appt. go?
Mulie: :::sticking tongue out at mean old OB:::
No call for bitching you out.
Glad you got out of town and have a wonderful time.
Good news Taiya!
Thanks for asking!
AP - I call dibbs on being Cher in my next life.
Taiya - Good news then! Now you can go back to having happy vivid preggers dreams :-D
Bella - With this cold I want pasta (my comfort food). Going to try your recipe. My dh and son are allergic to walnuts though, and so I am thinking pine nuts?
Hey all. I just got back from the CVS Minute Clinic. I have a goiter sized lymph node, golf ball sized yucky tonsil, nasty hurting ear. The result, no strep and the ear is fine. I still feel like poop!
Taiya - yes I remember having those. Must be all the hormones.
Sandy - I am so sorry. Glad you don't have strep, though.
Hey ladies - job fair was eh..long lines - no real feed back - and still apply on-line.
Feet hurt and I followed the signs that said Job fair - yeah, I parked the farthest from the damn job fair possible.
I'm tired, feet hurt, throat hurts and I'm pissy :)
How is everyone elses evening?
Taiya - glad to hear about hubby!
Mulie - sorry about the BOB!
Sandy - then what did they say was wrong?
I was hesitating on going but there is strep in both of my kids' classrooms. They sent the culture out but she said it mostly likely will come back as nothing but a virus type thing.
Hi everyone.
This working full time deal reaalllly cuts into my online chatting.
KaytieJ, I think pine nuts would be great. I would toast them!
Confession: I have eaten two New York strip steaks in two days. I'm having meat sweats.
Mostly likely...I think I've snorted too many daisies!
mmmm...bella...steak!
Hey Bella.
Meat sweats. Heh heh.
No AI spoilers, but holy crap, America! WTF are you thinking?
Hiya Sandy, SW, Kristin, and everyone else.
How great is it, that tomorrow is FRIDAY?
Bella I currently have a delicious roast waiting for me in the kitchen...been cooking at a low temp for about 5 hours now....YUM and having cheese fries with it. I can already feel the arteries clogging up :)
Hey girls - I am exhausted. I am going to go lay down.
Anyone want to volunteer to come rub my feet?
Night ladies!
Sorry I can't contribute more.
*see ya tomorrow!
Night Kristin! I'm heading out too. I *stupidly signed up to go to a breakfast thing tomorrow. Something about women's history month. And it starts at 7:00 AM (my normal wake up time) on the other side of town. So ugh, and good night!
AP, hope you weathered the storms okay!
ewww...ugggggh SW!
Hoping AP survived the storm.
I want to feel better.
Okay - night!
Shannon, my Sister-In-Meat-And-All-Things-Fried, your dinner sounds delicious!
Night, Kristin!
And goodnight to SW!
Bella if you're still here, how come you never told me about the "Turkey Festival"? LOL I feel so deprived.
Sandy, the Turkey Testicle Festival? lol!
That would be it. I feel like the girl in a bubble. Jeanette was talking about it on Fellowship today.
I'm giving my parents a stern talking to as to why they never took us there! ROFL
SW,
I missed it - what were the people of America thinking when they voted on AI?
CK, I didn't watch it so I'm no help.
I have never been to the Turkey Testicle Festival, for the record.
I *am going to bed early...as in now. Everyone stay safe with the bad weather!
I'm out too. Taking my goiter sized lymph node and golf ball tonsil with me. I hope it's better in the morning.
Sandy, one more round body part and you could juggle.
Sorry I posted and ran....dinner got done and friends showed up LOL
The dinner was so damn good...I love me some cooked all day roast.
Bella we have to get together one day and take a tour of the US and sample all the yummy places like Adam on Man V Food....but we dont have to try to kill ourselves in eating challenges :)
Shannon - If you come to MT and go to the Testicle Festival, I swear on all that's holy that I'll drive down and meet up with you. They're deep-fried .... :-D
http://www.testyfesty.com/
Howdy.
Off to catch up.
I have heard of the Testicle Festival, but have never actually been.
Hi, all! Goodnight to those going or gone and man, y'all are a sick lot. ;-)
Storms went fine. I have two leaks that I know of. Fun times. We got nearly 6" in 4 hours by my rain gauge with more headed in, so we'll see what it all brings!
Going to Big Sky.
Must eat turkey gonads: is
that white meat or dark?
I'm betting dark.
SW - Is the WTF on AI re: T who sang Q? If so, I am singing your praises.
Hi Ap,
And on that thought, I'm off to bed. Husband is already there - maybe I'll dream of dark meat turkey testicles.
AP - I am sorry to hear you had leaks. I know it could have been so much worse, glad you are safe. Are the leaks something you can fix?
Ooohhhh A too. (AI)
Turkey Testicles? We raised 20 turkeys, and damn I missed out!
CK, I hope I don't share your dreams!
Kayte, I need a new roof desperately and have for a few years. I keep putting it off in hopes a hurricane will do it in finally and I can claim it on my insurance. I'm betting this summer will be my "lucky" summer.
Jake's going to be gone until Monday. He's going to stay with a friend in Orlando and they're going to go to Megacon all weekend. It's going to be quiet around here, but nice, too...I love him to death, but I miss alone time and he's such a homebody that I rarely get any. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself!
Um RiM I will drive to MT to see you but I dont know about the whole testicle festival LOL
AP - Dare I wish you a "lucky" summer? :::the thought of your roof flying off has my knees quaking:::
Whatever you do end up doing, I know you will enjoy your alone time. Rare event. Teasing you here now, but activity suggestion...Ummmm...cook Turkey Testicles?
Oooooh, that's it...I'll try something new to cook, thank you! I think I also want to go back to World Market and also to Olde Time Pottery. And yes, I'd like wishes for any hurricanes but but Cat 5s, please.
Total change of subject but Deb, if you see this can you let us know how your daughter's surgery went?
Bella - Your linguine recipe was a dream. Adult comfort food! I did toast the pine nuts, but held back on my portion because of sore throat but DH and son loved them. Delightful! Thank you!
I will ONLY wish you a Cat 5, if you get your buns out here before it hits!
No Cat 5s under any circumstances. We rode a high 4 out here and they later determined it was actually a 5. First time I ever got scared in one of those bitches...never again.
Lol, just checked the MckDumbasses out and found this post. Note the related discussions below it:
home
My husband and I are home from Kenya at last. We are so happy to be with our four babies and could not be more excited to embark upon this new "chapter" of our lives. I'd love to tell you more about everything now, about how it is to be home and what we are thinking about for the future, but at the moment I'm so very.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Related discussions in my community:
* Should Stay-At-Home Moms stay home?
* Looking for work from home info
* Money for Home Buying...
McKmania site - Related discussions - LMAO!!! The irony...:::dashing for more cough medicine:::
Sandy - this does not count as enabling SW because she does not have to go to the site, right?
AP - Crud. Ignoramus here on CAT levels. Now I do recall you going through that CAT 5. Scary shit.
Hi kids! finally caught up - how is everyone! I did my bench and table area today and it turned out sooo cute - I can't wait to plant a few flowers and maybe a nice flower pot too!
oooooo how bout a flower pot full of daisy's!!!
To add to your Israel obsession :-D I started to read his "tear duct" post... S(he) does drone on and on and on. I wish I had known to click something to get an OxiClean coupon like Lindsay did!
Now did you read the post S(he) did about lecturing the Kenyan girl about Cold is Relative? That one really pissed me off.
running to read the post about the cold is relative - cause i'm in the mood to be annoyed!! hahaha
hmmm did not see a post about cold is relative, oh well... i'm sure it was annoying!
Flower pot full of Daisys would be delightful! I will be the one in sweats, CK will be in a pink Tulle Tutu :-D
It is so much fun landscaping and designing. Glad you are able to get out there and enjoy it!
Karen - It was several days ago, supposedly by McKDaddy.
It was so nice out today I think I actually got a little sun on my face! I cannot wait for spring to be here, unfortunately this is Ohio and I have a feeling we'll be having another SNOW before Spring really gets here!
Karen - glad you got some sun! I know what you mean about the surprises yet to come before Spring! Well, for us it is rain, rain and more rain.
Where do you live Kaytie? If you are east coast you are a night owl like me, but I have a feeling you are west coast, maybe?
Sorry for delay Karen - watching 10 pm news....keeping eye out on storm around AP.
You are right - west coaster - and also right on night owl. Worked night shift for too many years :-D Only 10:45 pm here now, though-so not so late.
its 1:51 here - and I could work 2nd shift no problem - my usual bedtime is 3 - and then i'm up by 9 - for some reason i just don't need that much sleep any more
Isn't that weird how it works? Teens can sleep for a day no problem. And then later in life it shortens. Seems like it should be the other way around!
Just came to say goodnight girls!
Karen, I'm in Ohio too and it was very nice here today! I'm ready for a lot more of this weather.
Goodnight all.
Karen - How did the move for your mom go? Sounded like a lot of stairs to be climbing. Made my knees ache for ya.
Loved it Jeanette! I'm ready too!
Kaytie - we started moving some small stuff for my mom earlier in the week, the kitchen cabinet and bathroom linen closet and stuff - tomorrow we are moving a few more things and then Sat. we are renting the truck and moving the rest - so far its moving along well - its the 11th floor in a high rise, but there is a big service elevator! and there are even some grocery shopping carts in the lobby of the building to load the boxes up on to make less trips - I think it will do well, and we have alot of help other than Patti and I - so hopefully it will go well! Thanks for asking - you have a great memory!
Karen - What a relief! From earlier I thought you had to trudge all the stuff up the stairs. And phew! Thank you for the memory compliment - I swear - lately I have had swiss cheese brain! I am also very happy to hear that your mom will not be having to walk all those stairs! Good luck with the rest of the move.
Nite all - this Theraflu dose is kickin' in! See ya in the morning.
morning ladies!
Even with all the sleep, I still feel like ca-ca :(
I hope everyone else is feeling better this morning.
Morning Kristin! Sorry you still feel sick. :( Blah.
Thanks Taiya! How are you?
It would be better if I didn't have so much going on this weekend, ya know?
I'll survive.
Hi all!
Taiya- I'm so glad your husband just has lipomas!
Kristin- I'm sorry you don't feel good :(
Good morning! Kristin, sorry you're still feeling bad.
TGIF to all the working daisies around here!
I spoke with Tee briefly last night. She's home from the hospital, worn out and still not feeling great. Hopefully she will feel like popping in soon.
LFOB Kay, if you read this, I hope you're hanging in there.
Still raining...still leaking...still prefer it over a bright, sunny day. :-)
Hi AP!
You prefer a rainy day to a sunny one? That is bizarre...
AP! I am going to try to call her later. I went to bed before I got her e-mail.
Yeah, LM has swim lessons in the morning and then we have my sisters baby shower (couples) and on Sunday we are getting together for my BIL b-day.
On top of that, my sis who is hosting the shower has been sick for over a week. She thought she was better and then it hit her again. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow.
I sometimes like rainy days over sunny but right now it is a crisp 49 out and not a cloud in the sky.
Enjoy the warm weather Taiya.
Corinne, yes, it probably sounds bizarre to many people but I was actually diagnosed with Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. Leave it to be to have a disorder and then do it ass backwards. ;-) For the most part, I'm no fan of sunshine and warmth...give me cold, rainy and windy and I'm a happy girl.
Taiya - he is 3 and I started him out in a mommy and me class at around 6 months. I am a water baby and my mom has a pool so he is really comfortable with the water, I just want him to get the mechanics down and learn some rules. The little ones seem to listen to others more than they do their own parent, so swim lessons it is. I actually sub on occasion over there.
I *loved swimming as a kid. I still do. I think it's cool to start learning very early :)
AP- Lol. You can move to Belgium, you'd fit right in. We have about ten days of sunshine per year and then it's rain. And rain. And rain.
Oh Corinne - I have been swimming since I can remember - both my grandparents had lakes, so we were always in the water in the summer - then when we moved to Texas I was on the swim team and then I was forced to get a job and I worked at a waterpark as a lifeguard.I worked there for about 6 years. Then I went and got my Marine Biology degree - and am scuba certified. It is just a passion and I think LM is giong to have that same passion.
I can't remember if I took Ibuprofen or not this morning :( My head is killing me.
Good Morning Ladies!
Kristin, my head hurts so bad too.
Throat is still swollen, goiter looking lymph node, pulsating ear! Someone shoot me with a daisy!
Taiya - LM's right now is semi-private so I don't have to get in. Depending on your comfort level and her ability to listen to others - that might be better. I know the baby ducks class was up until about 2. LM and I transitioned to another class where I was still in the water but not doing as much and now he is in a class with 2 other boys and does really well. It is 30 minutes and that is about all he can stand - boys and attention spans. :)
Oh Sandy - I am sorry. I know you said the doctor said no strep but did he tell you what it might be - or what to do to get better?
My throat is sore but not a constant sore.
I just wish the dull throbbing in my temples would go away.
I hope you feel better. I wish I hadn't of left early yesterday, then maybe I could've stayed in bed.
He said a virus if the second culture for strep comes back negative. So that means it just has to run it's course. Fun times.
My head feels like it's in a vice.
BBL, I've got to get my oldest ready for school. My little guy is being a defiant one today too.
Why is it that I always have good intentions of doing things once I get home (apply for Teaching position, look at study guides for tests, look for my transcripts, etc) and then when I get home I don't do any of that.
I guess I need to start making a list.
I did have one promising lead but it is a drive - from an intermediate school - they just put in a new science lab last year. Sounds interesting.
Kristin- The max daily dose of Ibuprofen (for over the counter use) is 1200mg. I don't know what dosage of Ibuprofen you have but if it's 200mg, you can def. take another one now. Even if it's 400mg, you could take another without risking any real side-effects.
Hi Sandy! I'm sorry you're sick :( Strep throat is no fun.
mine too Sandy - he didn't want the outfit I picked out so I had to go get another one, then he wouldn't put his pants on. uggghhh!
I am sorry!
Oh, and I got a lot of compliments on my resume and my portfolio - so maybe mine will stand out.
I'd rather work for the Klein district but my thought is, if I get my foot in the door - anywhere - I can get some experience and transfer.
Thanks Corinne.
I think I am going to take more in a few. Also going to turn down the AC b/c I'm cold - my sis isn't here yet to bitch.
Oh, and I want to pimp my sis a bit.
She is having free shipping for the month of March for her Scentsy products.
You just have to e-mail her your order!
I can send you her info or I have a shortcut on my blog.
Kristin- is the ibuprofen for a headache? I usually have better luck with tylenol. From what I understand ibuprofen is more for aches and pains, and tylenol for headaches. Just my take on things, and what works for me. You can take both at once, too, just in case you didn't know. (I get sinus infections and colds a lot because I am allergic to the world at large, so colds and things stick to me like glue) I don't want to sound like a know it all!
