after checking out the cpsc's website, it claims that their crib's serial numbers aren't in the recalled batch. I don't know if I should be worried or relieved by that! I am still going to send them an email about it and tell them then I would like a repair kit just in case.

oh yeah, Marissa has been showing signs that she wants to be out of her crib and in a toddler bed. She will go into the boys' room and climb up on their beds and then look at you and smile. Tommy said "I know you want a big girl bed princess, but if we do that, daddy won't get any sleep!" I said "you never know......she might come and wake you up on the days that you sleep too long!"

Cristina~ I have a weakness for pretty much any dessert, but I am keeping them to a minimum this year. I was letting the brownies cool down, and then I will cover them and put them in the microwave.....along with the peanut butter cookies from yesterday!

Sue~ I hope the roads don't freeze tonight and you are able to make it to your DGD's program!

Hi all.

Today is not a good day. I am in a lot of pain (my back) and I have taken not just one, but two of my pain pills and they have not even touched my pain and usually I take one and I'm good............I think a cold wave is coming in or something...............it is awful.

I hope that it goes away by Sunday night I don't want to miss any work, at least because of my stupid back. Plus my DH bday party is next week too. So I have to make it to that. Even if I have to crawl in. lol.

I'm also very very sad today. Won't go into that, but I am. I also finished off an entire container of cottage cheese......... I am pathetic! I was hungry, but I did not mean to eat it ALL! Geez!

Anyways, thanks for listening. lol.

Kathy -- Awww glad Cole liked it and glad it put a smile on his face. I loved Wall-E. I even cried. Well Cole, here is another one for ya:



Not sure what Cole likes, just putting the ones I like! lol and I loved Ratatouille!!!

Cristina -- I don't really like facebook either, just my DH's coworker is into it and I needed to talk to him about my DH's bday so that is why I was there and it had that thing to invite your friends so I did. lol. Thanks for the add!

Well I really need to go to bed. (I haven't been yet)

Have a Good Day!

just thought I would pop back in to see what every one had to say.....

I am going to be going to do Tommy's laundry here when he gets back with some quarters. The boys seem to think that they are going with me, but they have another thing coming if they think so!

Sassy~ I hope you feel better soon!

Hi everyone

Sassy - Cole says he likes everything. He likes the Rat. 2 smiles from him in a day. My DD who is 19 really liked the Rattatoulle (need spell check) movie. It is her favorite. Sorry about your back. What special plans do you have for your DH bday party?

Mindee - What kind of crib is in the recall? and what is wrong with the crib? I hate it when there is recalls on baby stuff. Have fun doing laundry. I sure have to stay home and get mine done. I was going to ask you before but forgot, what time does it get dark where you live?

Sue - Have a good time tonight at the program. How old is your DGD? It sounds like your weather is very close to ours. What time does it get dark where you live? It gets dark here at 4:00 pm, so it is hard not to get the blues.

Cristina - I have sort of looked at what plans WW has, but with working, I didn't want to try and fit that in also. How many points do you get a day? Do you get a few more points because of all the exercise you do in a day? Way to go on all that you do. Have fun at the school program tonight. Cole's is on Tuesday night, but only 2 guests can go from each family. Where do you find all your nice pictures that you post? And I have to say you always have the best avatars. I love Charlie Brown.

Hi Tammy and SuzyQ - I was sending you both good vibes today. (and bad vibes to the coworker.)

Well, I am off to get my butt kicked on Mario cart. I have such a life of leisure now, and it is great.

Kathy...WW definitely takes some extra time for sure! Once you get the points down the first time you don't have to do it after that. But it takes time trying to figure things out when you don't have the point value on certain foods...just have to guesstimate. But I get 24 points a day plus there is the 35 flex points to use as I wish. I can either use them all at say, a dinner out one night, or on a couple of days or spread them over 7 days and have 29 points instead of the 24. You do get points for exercise as well but I don't count them. It's like rewarding myself with more food because I am working out and I don't want to do that. Also, I don't know what is in store but come Monday's WI/meeting we will be getting the new program, I am excited about that. The leader gave me the old stuff last week anyway and told me I/we will love the new changes...we'll see. Why only 2 guests at Cole's program? The Christmas program was cute! It was the kindergarten thru fourth grades and they did a wonderful job. Have fun at Cole's! The pictures I post I get at photobucket and the avatars at iconator...there are tons!!

Mindee...have fun doing the luandry!

Jules...meant to tell you to let me know if the gift comes in one piece. If it is broken let me know and I will replace it.

Susan...hope today was a better day at work with the snickerer.

Anyway...thought I would drop by and say Hi. Guess I am going to go lurking and do something, don't know what. I am tired but V is sick and I don't want to go to bed until I am about ready to pass out so I don't have to hear him snore, lol. Or I could just sleep down here in front of the fireplace.

Nighty, night ladies!

Kathy- The program was very nice. DGD is a senior, so just the Spring concert to go. It didn't rain tonight or freeze, but boy is it cold. Around 20 degrees. Sunset here is between 5 and 5:30. I sure don't like that. It was sunny today, so I did feel better, but I really want to get outdoors. Hope your little one is finally up and around, feeling better.

Sassy- Hope you get feeling better soon also...I hate back trouble. Earlier I got out the heating pad for my back. I just have to turn the wrong way and my back goes out. It is a little sore tonight so I am not taking any chances. I don't have any pain pills, just Aleve. Sounds like you got a start on shopping for Christmas. I haven't done anything yet.

Mindee- Get the laundry done? I get such a chuckle reading about your little ones. They sound like so much fun. The pictures are about the cutest I have seen. Hope Marissa gets here molars through. Ouch!

Cristina- Did you make an offer on the wallpaper house? I hope you get it if you did. I love older houses and our town has so many beautiful Victorians. Glad you are liking WW. I am making a menu for next week for DH and I. Don't know how long he will stick to it, but I hope at least two weeks to show him we can live without gravy. LOL

Susan- Boy, I have to threaten you "ex" now I have to take care of the bratty co-worker. Snickering is so "middle school" so she better grow up. (How big is she, can I kick her butt? remember I am OLD) Hope you get to see your girls soon.

As I said I went to DGD's program. Didn't get outside for a walk, but DD and I had to walk a block to the program and it was so darn cold. I decided right then that I am going to buy a new coat next week. They have some good sales right now and I need a warm "nice" coat. I have a parka for "playing" outdoors, but I need something that looks less like an Eskimo and more like a grown-up. (but WARM)

I got the sweeping and dusting out of the way today and another load of laundry. Tomorrow I can play all day. I want to work on a scrapbook and maybe some sewing. Just some odds and ends of things I have started. I also have a book almost finished and want to start the Sue Grafton series. I have A, B and C. Mom is mostly packed and ready to go on Sun. She is ready to get out of this weather...and I don't blame her.

Have a good Friday!

Hi Everybody.

Well my pain pills finally kicked in because my back no longer hurts!! TG! Now my ear is hurting though.......UGH I hope its not an ear infection! I haven't had one of those since I was like 5 or something so I don't remember what it feels like! lol.

Mindee -- Thanks!

Kathy -- My back is feeling better and I am so glad! I am having a "Surprise" party for DH at Dave and Busters. Dave and Busters is kinda like a restaurant, bar, pool hall, and arcade all into one if you haven't been. I have invited a small group of our friends, to just have a good time. Won't be a total surprise, as DH knows I am planning something, kinda hard to keep anything from him!!! But he has no idea who all is coming. He does know where though.

Cristina -- Sorry that V is sick. Hope he feels better!

Sue -- Thanks. My back is feeling better. I used to never have any pain pills for my back either until it went out on me a year or two back and ever since my dr has continued to give me refills for my pain pills so I have them on hand in case I need them. I don't use them unless I REALLY need them. But its nice to know they are here in case of extreme pain. Yeah I have done well with Christmas this year. We only have the men folk to buy for now, and that is DH's dept. I learned from my MIL to start early so I started buying one thing at a time early for people and it just accumulates. I am in need of a new winter coat too. You are right, they are having some awesome sales right now. I have been wearing my leather coat, which is extremely warm and all, but I don't like to wear it every single day, esp when it starts getting really cold because I hate wearing those knit hats so I prefer a coat with a hood. lol. I haven't gotten anything done this week. Laundry is pretty much caught up, since DH only has two pairs of scrubs for work, we have to constantly keep washing them so our dark clothes at least are caught up. lol.

Well thanks everybody for the get well wishes, I do feel better!

Happy Friday everyone

Well I have to come back in a little bit. Cole is still home sick, and he just asked me to go get him a kleenex. I told him he could go get his own, but he just informed me that he really couldn't go get his own kleenex because he doesn't think that I would like to clean up the floor after all his boogers fall out of his nose onto the floor. Then he added he would like some hot chocolate to make his nose feel better. Kids.

BBL

Omg!!! I just saw a commerical for the new Bachelor!!!!!!!!!!!! Jan 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe Jason is the new dude. Geez.

well, I have spent the morning cleaning up the boys' room. Big Trouble, AKA Logan, decided to make a mess with his poop. So between cleaning that up, cleaning the clothes up off the floor, putting the dresser back together, and answering the phone a couple of times.....he is now in his room playing with the duplos instead of napping. Marissa, on the other hand, is napping!

Tonight, the kids are going to a baby sitter and me and Tommy are going to a Christmas party for one of his lodge brothers. We are going to try and do a little bit of Christmas shopping while we are out as well.

As for the laundry.......that is another story! Tommy never got a chance to get the quarters last night, so I am NOW waiting for a call from the office manager telling me that the owner brought the keys back. She told Tommy last night that she would call me first so that I can get them first. I will let you know if that happens.....I am not counting on it though!

And just in time for us to go out tonight, it is now snowing! I am hoping that it doesn't pick up too much other wise I just might knix the night and stay home. But then again, I am looking forward to a night out, so I am sure that won't happen!

Kathy~ Check out cpsc.gov for the recall. But it is the Simplicity crib. We have the same one, from both Logan and Brandon, and we ended up tossing Brandon's and now just have Logan's crib that Marissa is using. They are saying that the drop side of the crib can come loose and cause the child to get caught in it. It gets dark around 5:30 or 6pm here.

Cristina~ Did you end up going to bed? Or did you sleep in front of the fire place?

Sue~ Nope, laundry isn't done yet! I am hoping that she calls me soon, or I will be waiting until tomorrow to do it! Tommy has to work, but he is getting out early because Brandon has a birthday party for a boy in his class tomorrow at the bowling alley near by. thanks for the nice comments on the pictures.

Sassy~ How is your back doing today?

Katy~ I will go and look for you on there! ok, so you beat me to it! I added you though!

Francie~ I was wondering if you had seen a commercial for it yet. How are you doing today?

Well, not much playing today. My little bit sore back of last night has turned into a BIG sore back. I can't sit in a comfy chair, just perched on the edge. Needless to say I have found lots of things to do standing up today. I am really bummed because I wanted to go shop later. Oh well, no use crying, this is nothing new for me and it takes a few days to ease up. (hopefully no more)

Ya'll have a good week-end and I will try to do the same.

Hullo.

Well I have felt like crapola today. Ever since I ate a hamburger earlier today. Red Meat and me don't seem to get along too well.



Guess that is what I get.........

So once again nothing has gotten done. Oh well.

Kathy -- thanks for adding me to facebook and your address. I hope Cole feels better.



Mindee -- my back is feeling better, thanks. Hope you have a good time at the party!

Hope you all are well. I'm going to bed.

Mindee~Ya, I dont watch ABC too much, except for weds and thursdays, lol. So I finally got to see the commerical for it. I'm doing good, how have you been? I was gonna make some cookies today, and realized that I'm out of flour, lol. And for some reason, I was like..Mindee needs to make me some cookies, LOL!!!

Katy~Omg, Jason wishes he could be Sleepless in Seattle cool. Did you notice that there was a lot of blonde chicks?? I was like...whoa, blonde babes overload!!! I doubt the girl him and whoever he picks will last forever. I think Jesse should be the next Bachelor!! Poor Jesse. I still feel horrible after what that b*tch did to him!!!


OKay so I have some news. My BIL Angel is coming to live with us after the 19th!!! He better not screw up over here!!!

Wow...you guys have been busy posters. I was shocked Monday when I got on the scale at work...but I thought it had to be wrong...weighed in at WW Friday morning at minus 5 1/2 --I have been sick again and have no appetite so that may have helped. Chasing a walking Dominic has given me a workout too.

I am still coughing, sneezing and feeling yucky....I am so sick of being sick that it is not funny....

BBL for indys....

I cant believe I forgot to mention this, lol. The command is having a Christmas party on the 11th..so of course, I went out and bought some new clothes, lol. The top I bought is actually smaller than my usual size!! YAY!! I love buying smaller clothes!!!
