Lauren- Sorry to hear about Peter. I'm sure he'll be feeling better in no time, but, boy, is the summer the worse time to be sick, huh?
About the sweet potato fries, my MIL coats them with brown sugar and fries them in a little bit of oil. They're pretty good.

I had a scare this morning, I thought I lost my wallet. At the gym this morning I was exchanging movies with my friend and somehow my wallet got in her diaper bag and out of mine, we still have no idea how it happened. I checked the MP station, went back to the gym, tore my car apart looking for it. I couldn't get ahold of my friend b/c she was at her Grandma's having lunch. She just called me to let me know she has it, Thank GOD!!! We have the same identical wallet, which happens when you shop at the post exchange with minimal selection. I'm just so relieved. My military ID was in there with about 160 bucks and my credit cards.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good week. Unfortunately it hasn't been too warm here. In the 90's a few days last week and now its back down to the 60's and 70's. Got a new bathing suit and would like to wear it to the pool.

hello!

Tiki - WOW on 13 babies in 3 years! Like LBH, I'd be worried about buying all the presents!

Karen - I'm actually thinking I will not have a gain this week after my trip. I'll find out tomorrow.

Lauren - great that the daycare is so clean! ~ Thanks for the congrats! My brother has some growing up to do, but a baby is a blessing. :)

Lori - hope it warms up for you and you can break out that new bathing suit.

RR - wanted to say hi!

Hi all,

Lori - Isn't that crazy how stuff can get mixed up? A co-worker of mine and I have identical wallets and when we go out for lunch, we check and DOUBLE check to make sure we don't get them confused.

I LOVE sweet potato fries. The cafeteria downstairs at my job sells them but they're deep fried so I limit myself to only once or twice a month.

Lauren - The center that my kids attending once we left the other place was immacutely clean. They stayed there until we finally moved to Michigan and they never caught anymore stupid illnessess.

My kids gave me their cold and now I feel awful. DD held my hand last night and walked me to bed and tucked me in. She fussed at DS because he was in my room messing with my weights and she thought he was disturbing me. It was too funny. She is so bossy.

Hiho to everyone else.

Peace. Tiki.

Hello all.......kind of going through mental issues and not feeling like doing any posting..I am here...hope all is well...
RR

Hi guys,

Not much tonight. I have a killer headache. I think it must be AF related. This has been a real b!tch, starting again. I've gone through 4 outfits today. I feel like it's 5th grade all over again.

I found out why I have a whiny, clingy child...He's cutting two molars at once. Poor baby. Just Friday I felt his top gums and NOTHING, today one of them is 1/2 way in. At least it didn't take 6 weeks like these bottom ones.

Hello to all.

RR: :grouphug: Wishing you peace.

Hi All,

I'm soo sick...think how your DH's/men in your lives act when they're sick...that's how I feel. :( I woke up with a sore throat yesterday and a headache. After lunch my stomach felt funky. I tried getting everything done so i could leave work early, but ended up not getting out til 4:30. I asked DH to p/u Peter and go out somewhere for awhile because I just needed to sleep. They went to Mc D's for dinner, got home around 7. I slept from about 6-8:30, got up, had a banana, then some left over mashies. Still felt like crap, took more Tylenol Sinus and gargled some salt water and went back to sleep around 11. Tossed and turned all night, but slept until 6:30. Feeling slightly better this AM, but still have the sore throat and tummy is slightly funky. Swigged some Maalox before leaving for work.

Peter's doing much better though, seems like his old self, woke up with a "Hello World" attitude. :lol:

Karen, hopefully AF will straighten herself out in a couple cycles. That's how it was with me, I thought I was hemmoraging!! :rolleyes: Hope Alex's teeth come in quickly. I think Peter's are still making there way in!!

RR, :grouphug:

:wave: everyone else!

Hi all,

What is WITH this summer cold thing. All over the site, people are posting in that they are sick. I say we protest. DD had to put me to bed again last night. She climbed in bed with me and then elbowed me in the eye around 5AM. I don't understand why she needs to sleep right up under me when I have a king-size bed.

Karen, so sorry about your AF blues. I hated it when my returned because it was heavy, unpredictable and lasted almost 8 days. However after about 4 months, I was good to go. My DS is also cutting teeth. Of course, his are way in the back. It's weird. He is cutting molars that DD already has and she is two years younger. I guess girls really are faster than boys.

Peace. Tiki.

I gained .6 at my weigh in today. I actually think it had more to do with eating ice cream last night right before bed than with my vacation. Live and learn!

Everyone is sick! Don't send any germs my way please. Hope you all are feeling better soon.

RR - take care. :grouphug:

Hi guys,

DH will be home tomorrow :dance: !! And don't you know we are having the worst night here. Alex has been crying off and on all day. Now he's screaming in his crib and has been for the last 40 min. I had to leave the room. I was about to explode. He has this super shrill scream that makes me want to break things after about 1/2 hr. When I calm down I'll go back in and rock him or something. How did you guys get your babies to sleep in the crib? The past couple of nights when I needed to get up to go to the bathroom (thanks AF!) I had to wake him up and take him with me. Well, he woke up everytime I tried to sneak out of the bed. I hated lying there, knowing I needed to go and that I was going to wake him up. He would sit there in the floor and scream til I was finished. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Lauren and Tiki: I hope you guys are feeling better soon! I'm with Rabbit tho, keep your germs there please.

Lori: Have you gotten to try the bathing suit yet? We were playing in the kiddie pool yesterday. When the wind wasn't blowing it was hot, when the wind would blow it was chilly!!

Rabbit: I'm sure the .6 is already gone!!

Hope everyone has had a super great day.

Hi All,

Well, I went to the Dr. this AM after DH looked down my throat and saw a couple white spots last night. I don't have strep, so I guess it's either just a really bad sore throat or coxsackie?! :confused: It's actually not quite as bad today as yesterday, but it's still pretty bad. I broke down and used some of that horrible cloraseptic spray. YUCK! Don't think it helped much, just made my mouth feel funny. The Drs. office was a whole other nightmare!! I swear this Dr. (and I use the term loosely) got her liscense from a cracker jack box! ARGH!!

Karen, YEAH on DH getting home!! :dance: How did your night turn out? I'm not looking forward to tomorrow night, we'll be at my aunt's after Sesame Place and Peter has to sleep in his pack n play. He doesn't like to, so I don't know how that's gonna turn out.
I think I would've just stacked some pillows around the sleeping child and ran to the bathroom!!

Rabbit, sorry about the gain, but you're probably right, it was probably the icecream!!

:wave: Everyone else!!

Hi Ladies!!!
Its been pretty cold here, hard to believe tomorrow will be the first day of summer. Its going to get down to the 40s again tonight. I could see my breath while I was walking my dogs tonight. Needless to say, I have not worn my new bathing suit yet. We were planning on going to an indoor pool yesterday but DD is sick. She has a cough, runny nose, and has had a fever for the past 2 days. She's been begging for us to take her swimming even though she's sick. She vomitted in her car seat yesterday and boy was that fun to clean up!! DD & DS are now sharing a room. We had a family bed but DH and I slowly moved our stuff out of the room and their stuff in. So far so good. Only problem is when DS wakes up asking for apple juice and I'm not there to help him find his cup. Hopefully, this will work out. Its so nice having our own bedroom again.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Tomorrow is my first WW WI. I've been pretty good all week so hopefully the scale will agree.
