Well thanks to Melissa... I went to Meetup.com a couple months ago and posted me under my area in the SAHM's section..... A girl emailed me a couple days ago that lives here, her oldest goes to school with my oldest....

And she even went to school with my hubby.... We go to the same gym so we are gonna "meet up" this morning there!!!

How cool is that!

Anyhow, I am gonna get going!

Okay, this is just a fly by for me, not sure if I've ever done one like this. I've got a ton of things going on and hopefully I can sit down later for a complete post. Morning to everyone.
CHERI, YEAH!!! you go. I'm glad I'm not the only one. But you've got a long ways to go and I know how you feel. I've only got 10 weeks left. Congrats and the best of luck to you.
Okay, hello to all you other desperate housewives.

Good morning. No, I still have school all this week. Tonight is class night, so we decided to do Thanksgiving dinner tonight. We also get a hair night once a month where we do whatever to our hair, (for free) and I am getting highlights in mine. We also have a test tonight over the muscular and cardio system. Yes, I have studied, and yes I will pass. We do have off Thursday, and I am getting up bright and early friday to hit wal marts sale. But since we do have off thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday we will be soooooo busy with people wanting to get their hair done. I do have off 2 1/2 weeks for Christmas though. I can't wait. I did get my exercise in this morning, and I am starting on my water. Have a great day everyone.

Hi ladies!

We had a pretty hectic weekend. Birthday party, for dd#1 (14), she's not hard to please. I sewed up a fitted sheet for the little girl's bedroom that has one of those goofy bunks, full on the bottom and twin up on top. So all their bedding would match. But really only did that and alot of LAUNDRY and cleaning too, nothing much exciting.

Penny- Did you get a good response form your newspaper article? I sure hope so with all the work you are putting in. Have fun at your "meet up"!

Ricci- You busy gal! Glad you got in your exercise and water. I having a hard time drinking all my water, don't know why, I have to force myself. Hope you do good on your test!

Jeniqua- Hope you had a fun weekend with your relatives. I hope you are all feeling better too!

Kristin- Hi! I went back and signed Olivia's guestbook, what a cutie!

Michelle- Sorry you were feeling bad yesterday. How long do you expect before it should be completely over with? I'll quote you now:
"Roxy, do you have an angel or a warrior? Or were you talking about your child? Sorry, I was confused..."
No, Christopher is not my child, but the child of my bf here where I live. He's always been a sick baby and at about 2 was diagnosed with his cancer. He just turn four and is in remission. No more chemo. or meds. YEAH!!! He's totally normal now and is enjoying life like any other kid! You really did such a great job on all the holiday siggys. Since Jill begged you so pretty, If I do too, would you please, please pretty please make one for me too? I am totally hopeless when it come to that kind of stuff. Notice I don't have a avatar yet, I'll get aroung to it. Snow on the ground?! Are you gonna send some our way?

Cindi- Glad you slept well, hope you don't get sick too!

Jillybean- , I hope Bayley is feeling better! I am not going to yell at you about the paper, Michelle and Geri did a good enough job in that dept., I might add. Hurry up already so you can post and play!

Deana- how's the cleaning coming? We have too many clothes too. And to boot a house that we bought with no closets! Argh! DH is a good carpenter and is making some. Did you get that deer meat processed yet?

Geri- Wow! You all have been sick for a while there! Hope your family is better soon!

Crystal- You are really busy today, huh? Hope you aren't over doing it! Take five for yourself and Allison when you can!

Hope all of you other moms are having a good day today! I'll be back later after picking up the school children. TTYL

Sure Roxy I'll make you a holiday siggy as well! It will probably be later this afternoon that I can sit down at my laptop and do it I'll post them to the boards this evening when they are finished

We're getting the house decorated right now for the holidays, since I volunteered to work on Thanksgiving I won't have time to do it then. So Taylor is having a blast digging through all the decorations lol.

Okay back to work!
Love to all!
Michelle

OK, OK, I'll put in my 2 cents worth here today. I have been lurking all day, not doing much of anything since I busted tail on the house and laundry all weekend. Yes, I still have a load to fold, one to dry and fold and one more to wash, dry and fold. Then it will be DONE! . There's always tomorrow.

Roxy: I think you were the one that commented about the cornucopia in Woman's World....well I had to buy a copy and will be making 2 of them tomorrow. Dd has feast on Wed. for preschool and they are all bringing finger foods that I thought would be cute for them. Then I am taking one to mom's on Thanksgiving Day. That is so great about Christopher! No, the deer meat isn't completely processed yet. We cut and packaged the steaks and stew meat and froze the rest to grind. We are going to Cabela's on Friday to get our Christmas presents....an electric grinder with sausage stuffer kit and dh wants a butchering kit they have. So hopefully some weekend soon when he gets enough time off we will get sausage and jerky made.

Penny: Glad you had fun at your meet up!

Jill: How's the homework coming? Huh, huh?

Geri: Geees girl, hope everyone gets better soon.

Crystal: A fly by? That is unusual for you. Hope you're having a great day.

Michelle: Those siggies are great. But I'm not gonna ask for one. I want to see if my program will allow me and play around with it. If not then I might beg . Snow? Dh is looking forward to it so he can take the dog rabbit hunting. I could live without it since I have to drive in it.

Ricci: on your tests tonight!

Kristin: Slow down girl! Enjoy your time with dh. Mine will be calling later to let me know if he has to work Wed night. Ugghh!!

I think I got everyone. Spryng, where the heck are you? Hope you are doing great! How's the job going?

Well, I have to go pop popcorn for the kids and get ready to watch my Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

TTYL

Good evening gals!

I finally lost 2 lbs. I'm so happy I finally budged. How's everyone today? I can't get personal because my personal pest is on my lap doodling on my arm. Bless her little heart.

Just want to say Congrats to Cheri on #4. I'm happy with 3...no more for me.

Hi ladies!
Well I'm cleaning for today for tomorrow so I can bake and do other things for Thanksgiving. I have had a pretty uneventful day and for me it is both rare and welcome!

Deana- I'll be thinking of you when I make my, cornucopia tomorrow. I think I'll make it just a little bigger than they made theirs in WW (mag). I'm only going to make one.
I'm so totally jealous of your electric meat grinder that you are getting. We always seem to have something else we need more. One of these years!

Chris-Hurray on the 2 lbs.!! I know how exciting it is to lose some even when it's not a whole lot, it's just gone! No looking back now!

I'll check in a little later before bed, and see who's still awake! TTYL
