Hello to everyone else. Off to do some more packing etc. Shooting for next weekend, but it might be the following weekend. I want to get it over with.

Have a good week everyone.

Jackie

Thank you all for the warm welcome! A little bit about me huh? Ok! I am single again, no children. I am living with my parents and it doesn't help that my mom loves to bake and bring home goodies. (I don't have very good will power.) I am back in college going for a duel major so stress is high, and I have one late class that lets out around 11pm. I eat when I get home too and that doesn't help either. I can't think of anything else so if you have any questions just let me know. <-- That's me

Hi All!! I'm baaack!! We had a great time in San Francisco!! Although I will say right off the bad, prego or not, I would NEVER live in a city, nevermind one with soo many hills!! We thought, oh, it's only .7 mi. from the hotel to the Fairmont, where the reception was...NOT! I was exhausted after walking 2 blocks to the Walgreen's! The wedding was beautiful though, it was at the Church of Saints Peter & Paul. Unbelievable how gorgeous this church was, I'll post pics when we get them developed and scanned. The reception was equally as gorgeous! It was at the Fairmont, which is the "Gone with the Wind" hotel. It was on the top floor (24th, I think), in the Crown Room. It's all huge windows, all the way around, with the most gorgeous views of the city. My BIL sure knows how to party too! What a reception! He had a whole group of his buddies from Boston come out for the wedding and they are a rowdy bunch! FIL kind of ruined things by drinking and getting all pissy, making MIL cry...which drives me insane because no one will say anything to him...but overall, it was an awesome event! The only sightseeing we got to do was Fisherman's Wharf on Friday. The weather was gorgeous, in the 70's and sunny. The Sea Lion's were a hoot to see...and hear! There had to be hundreds of them all hanging out sunning themselves on the docks, and barking away! Of course I forgot to bring the camera, so no pics.

I miss my boy, and can't wait to pick him up tomorrow at daycare! Mom's had him since Thursday. She's been having a blast with him, I don't think he misses us much!

DANI!!!!!! What a pleasant surprise to come home to see a post from you! I have been thinking about you and LE and Setina also! Whoa!! I'm soo glad to hear that things are going well for you! AWESOME on the loss and good for you going back to kick boxing! Congrats on the new job also, I can just imagine how lucky those kids are to have such a loving person like you as their teacher! I'm just thrilled that you checked in! Please check in when you can!

Lisa, WELCOME! Maybe you can fanagle your mom into cooking healthier treats?! Good for you going back to school, I've considered it a few times.

Jackie, hope you're not getting sick. I'm still a little sick, mostly just the darn post nasal drip annoying me, but it's getting better.

RR, awesome pics! She just soo cute!

to everyone else! I'll check to see what I missed tomorrow!

Good evening!!!
Lauren--Glad U made it back safely!! I would go nuts without K for any length of time!!!

Trick or treating was a blast..I dropped the candy off first thing today at work so it is no temptation to me!!!Out of the house and out of my life!!!

Lisa- Sounds waY too busy for me...I cant see myself going back to school any time soon!! I respect any one who can..Maybe drink water after that late class and lock yourself in the room!! WELCOME again!!!

Gotta run..my best friend is miscarrying and I am worried sick..Unfortunately,. I can relate all to well..
RR

Hi all,

Lauren: Glad that you had a good trip. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I can't imagine being without Alex that long.

RR: I'm sorry about your friend.

Aunt Flo played an awful trick on me yesterday. She decided to come 4 days late. Let me get all excited and then Boom. I'm just about ready to stop trying. I can't believe that people do this for years. How on earth do they do it?

I am at work and I could really use some chocolate! Today has been one of those days where everything goes wrong. I am however not going to get any. I know that it is not good for me. I also have to eat out tonight so I was thinking Subway, cause it is healthier.

Hi All,

Lisa, good for you withstanding the chocolate beastie!! You're better than me! Subway would be fine, as long as it's a nice lean sandwich! I think they have a turkey sandwich that is low in fat (6 gm. or less?)

Karen, Ugh, old hag, she's just rotten!

Karen & RR, I cannot tell you how much DH & I missed Peter!! I swear he changed while we were away!! I kept getting up last night to check on him, was surprised that he slept all night! My mom called me this AM to see how he was...she missed him and was up half the night waiting for him to come crawl in her bed!

RR, I'm sorry about your friend, how's she doing?

to everyone else!

hi all. I'm having a few problems with the thread today and I'm busy so I'll try to make this short.

Lisa - welcome to the group!

RR - great pics! Hoping surgery goes well tomorrow. ~ I also got rid of the candy the day after halloween. I sent it to work with dh.

Jackie - have fun moving!

Lauren - sounds like you had a great time in SF! I loved going there.

Rabbit

don't forget to vote!

Hi everyone......cooking dinner so will try an keep short.

RR: Hope your friend is doing okay. I will keep her in my prayers. Hope things go well for Kaylee's surgery tomorrow.

Lisa: I am also a chocolate loverl. I have to have some every day! LOL I commend you for not giving in. I love subway too. Although I sometimes don't eat the real good healthy stuff there.

Karen: Sorry about Aunt Flo.

Lauren: Sounds like you had a good time, glad your back safe and sound

Rabbit: Hello, and yes I voted today!

I still miss DS who is 12, when he's gone. Especially this past May when I went to visit my Mom for a whole week. I remember Brandon primping up and crying for several hours after I left because I was leaving him home. That was the 1st time we had ever been apart for that long. It broke my heart to see him so sad, but at the same time knew I had to be there for Mom.

Well, more delays with the house, needless to say we won't be able to move this weekend, we are hoping for next weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

Gotta run and take up dinner.

Jackie

Good Morning Everyone,

This time change has really messed up Alex's morning schedule. He used to sleep until 8-8:30. Now he's up between 6:30 and 6:45. Ugh. I need just a little more sleep! He did nap for the better part of 3 hours yesterday. I took the opportunity and napped with him.

Here is a pic of his NON-costume for Halloween:


And this one is all dressed up for the wedding. He would NOT look at the camera:


I hope everyone is having a great week!

Karen, CUTE PIC! Love the little dress up outfit! He's looking like such a little boy now.

Jackie, sorry about the house issues. > Hope they get you in there soon though.

Rabbit, Hope the problems are straightened out!

RR, check in as soon as you can!!

Hello all..Just a quickie update..When we got to the hospital, her fever was 100.1 so they contemplated cancelling us but decided to go ahead..They redid the tubes, removed the adenoids and irrigated her sinus clean..He cultured everything so we shall see if any thing grows..She has been in bed since we got home..She screamed, cried etc and refused to drink anything so I begged a friend to discharge us so that we could leave and hopefully she would be less scared at home..She has not eaten anything and just been sleeping...Mom is watching her tomorrow....
Off to recheck!!
RR
