hey girls, we better start posting soon...Angie's getting delirious

Yet another crazy day here. Every time I try and do some work I get interrupted by the phone. I swear I hate to deal with people. If could just hole up in here and do my paperwork than I would be happy.

My son has a daily calendar in his homework folder and he gets a happy face stamp on it if all goes well during the day. Yesterday I picked him up and checked his folder and there was an "X" on the Wednesday slot with a notation that he was playing around in church and not following directions. (They have a sort of point system whereby all students names are listed as a monkey on a tree, if they misbehave too much, the monkey falls off the tree for the day ) Well, when I asked him if his monkey fell off the tree, he replied by saying "wait, let me think. Noah was playing around too!". So I guess the answer was yes, the monkey fell off, but he couldn't or wouldn't make that admission to me. What a stinker! I had to remind him to be a good little catholic boy and follow like a sheep Hopefully today goes better because they have a PTG meeting tonight.

Cal you will find me @ Disney wearing an obnoxiously loud Hawaiian print shirt NOT!

Gotta run for now, be back later.

Okay girls my computer is majorly screwed up so if I come up missing it is because my computer died. Love ya all in case I cant get back on. I will try to get it fixed as soon as possible. It said my browser settings were wrong and the whole thing keeps locking up and you know when you get so many pages it will say MSN 5 etc at the bottom of the screen well mine keeps climbing to 50 and higher and I click close the group and it will just keep climbing until I shut the computer off.

Okay Angie real quick reply here, hus said to do this: go to tools, on the top bar, click on internet options, under the general tab, see that part that says temporary internet files, click on settings, and move the little tab to increase the amount of disk space to use. see if that helps.

Anyway girls hows it going, sorry I did not get a chance to post until tonight, crazy day. Feeling kind of down too. Maybe I just realize that my ds is growing up so fast. I don't know why it gets to me so bad. Maybe because my childhood was not great at all and I just want to be the best mom I can be? I don't know. Sorry for complaining.

Noelle you mean you don't wear the Bold patterened shirts there? Or is that just for tourists? If I ever get out by you baby I am going to go all floral prints!! Or will I look like a dork ? I really hope someday we all can take a family vacation there.

Okay well goodnight, Kempy must be on vacation? Hi Summer, Cal, and Holly.
I am going to go think about the steak I ate tonight. I wish had some leftovers right now , TOM is not due for a little over a week and I am starting to feel the effects of that evil monster. Here I go, good night all. Julie

GOOD NIGHT ALL sigining off!!

Angie I hope you can get your computer fixed!! I would miss ya like crazy!

Good Afternoon if anyone is out there ????

I have been pretty busy today with appts. this am and Walmart and groceries today to put all that junk away. I shouldn't say junk I am thankful I have the resources to buy. Where is everyone? Are we ever going to get this board hopping again ? I am going to work around the house this afternoon and for dinner its going to be homemade coleslaw, veggies, teryaki ginger salmon and potatoes. I can't wait. I could eat the whole darn house down. Hus bought cupcakes with whipped buttercream icing. Ugh, more temptation. I will resist though. I have to put it in my head, they are for him and the kids. Well hope to see someone post this weekend. Miss ya all. Check in later. Julie

Hey Julie, I bet you thought no one would show huh? Well, I'm here at work busy as a bee... I keep meaning to come here and post but I keep getting interrupted! Anyway, it's a state/city holiday here (Admissions day), Hawaii is now officially 45 years old as a state of the Union of the United States of America. Kids don't have any school but work goes on as usual. Any plans for the weekend? Rick is working so I guess I won't see him til the evening. I may take Michael to see the new Benji movie, did ya see the commercial? I loved Benji when I was kid (30 years ago ). This one is a remake (of course! what would Benji be now, like 300 in dog years? ) and the dog looks similar to the original, but not quite. It's something to do anyway.

Mmmmm, your salmon sounds delicious!!! If we don't go out this weekend I may throw that together and grill it outside. Thanks for the idea.


Angie, sorry about your computer! I hate dealing with stuff like that. Hope to see you up and running again soon.

How's everyone else doing today? Oh yeah, I've been wearing my clunky Dr. Scholl's sandals the past few days the help my foot/heel pain and after 2 days of wearing them, the pain wasn't so bad this morning when I woke up. I guess supportive shoes do help! Hope it goes away soon.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good night and great weekend. Check in tomorrow, ya hear???

Hi guys. I have it fixed enough to run. My Verizon sight gave me a fix and all is well for now. Now if I would just pay someone to get my Antivirus running right.

OOOh a Benji movie.. I would like that. Did you guys ever read the book Scruffy by Jack Stonely when you were little. It is about a dog getting left behind by her owners and having puppies alone etc. It is the saddest book. I am trying to find it to buy for the kids to read.

Angie, I don't remember that story but I will look for it in the library. I'm supposed to be reading a story a day to Mike for homework. If you can't find the book locally you can try ebay's half.com. I saw it there for about $11 new or as low as $.96 used! happy shopping!

Hi everyone,

The weather is getting a little better here; for now anyway. The kiddos are finally starting to get settled in at school. I'm so tired tonight. I'm very happy that I don't have to set the alarm tonight. It will be nice to sleep in even if it is only a little.

I've thought about taking Ashley to see the Benji movie also. Tomorrow, though, she is cleaning her room and we're cleaning house because she's having a sleepover here tomorrow night. Just what I need, a house full of 6 year olds. It will be fun. They want to sleep downstairs so I can have peace and quiet upstairs. NOT!!!!!

Noelle: Arizona's birthday is on Valentine's Day. We don't have any time off for that. I guess the powers that be figure that since we're 92 years old we don't need anymore parties. Of course, that will probably change when we turn 100.

Angie: I'm glad you got your computer working. When did you say your kids go back to school? We start our fall break the first of October. I guess that's about 6 more weeks.

Julie: I usually can't go online during the day because I'm at school. Today was picture day and the kids were all in their "civies". They usually wear uniforms. It was a nice change today.

Hello to Kempy, Holly, and Summer. Hope you girls can come out and play soon.

Cal

Good weekend yall!!!!

I went and bought some hardwood laminate floor this weekend. YEAH!!! I can finally rip the gross old carpet up in the livingroom and dining room!!! I hate carpet!!!!! Now hopefully we can lay it all down ourself and not screw it up to bad. It is the floating floor so it should be pretty easy to do other than the angle cuts.

Then I went and bought some shelves for the twins bedroom closet and I took the wardrobe closet apart and tossed it in the trash. That of course left room for their bunkbeds to come apart and they are both on the floor now. Corey was sick of being up by the ceiling. I then put a desk in there and put his lava lamp on it with their stereo on the floor under it with the speakers in a tower. It looks really nice now. Now if I would take the pink and unicorns off the wall for him.

Now tonight I get to empy the livingroom and take the furniture out. Where I will put that all while we lay the floor I dont know.

I went to Taco Bell yesterday and got some chalupas(MY FAV) and a chicken quesadillia(sp) for us to split. That was so GOOD!!! It has a spicy sauce on it that they dont show on the commercial.

Cal, The kids first day of school is on Thursday. How did your sleepover go?

Good morning...afternoon..whatever it is- Hi!

threw a party last night and I am a little tired. Last person left at 2:30am. Luckily my DH was on the ball and helping me to clean as the night went on so it did not take forever.

I was eating LOTS of strawberries and dipping them in chocolate fondue with Kahlua! and Margaritas to wash it down!

Crazy with work this week so I apologize for not checking in as much as I should. I am getting a newer computer so I may have to be offline for a couple days while I synch it up.

I have my appointment with a nutritionsist tomorrow!

I hope whoever went to the Benji movie liked it!

Julie has your ds started school yet?

Noelle I love the monkey in tree for tracking...maybe I would of paid more attention if the teacher was more creative like that I hope work is okay.

Angie you sound busy with the home improvement! Good for you and good luck with the floor!

Cal I hope school is going wonderfully for both you and Ashley. I hope the sleepover was a success too! It is hard to think of fall break yet because school does not begin until Sept 8 here.

Holly and Kempy!

off to play Tennis!

I have got so much stuff to do to catch up from last week. I can't chat long and I will have to come back later to read all of the past posts but I am going to post a few pics from last week.

The one of Joe adn I is blurry but I hope you can see it well enough. The girls is a friedn or ours that came infor the day with her hubby. I hope the water pictures look as blue as they were from the balcony. I am kind of embarassed b/c I have gained so much weight back but now you get to see what I look like now.

Kempy, Glad you are back. We missed ya. We werent sure if you were on vacation or if you left us.

You look great to me!!! The water looks pretty. I cant wait until I can go down now. It doesnt look that light on the East side.
