  • Shoot! I just lost My post with indies and everything. Well, here we go again! lol

    Not much going on here, the girls and I are going out to lunch, but I am thinking subway. Will get to the gym this afternoon...was waiting to make sure dd2 was not getting sick...said her tummy hurt last night. DH is off for the next two days so we are going to take wallpaper down, and try to paint, but it is very cold so we may have to rain check that until it gets a few degrees warmer.

    Martie~Hope the bathroom is going well. That will be our next project, we need to gear up for it, because it will be a doosey, have to replace the drywall too.

    Christina~BE careful with the ice, I have spun out a few times and it was not fun. I am still on book number 4, but I will say is is about twice as long as the last few I read.

    Trish~LOL on the super mom. I am sure they loved you being their mama.

    Francie~Some people never grow out of the drama stage. I know I have had to cut some out because of it. I will get to goodreads one of these days.

    Mindee~Congrats on Tommy's new job. Hope the schedule is not too hectic. I definitely take the house work one day at a time, though it is nice now that they are a little older, the kids help out too. My 7 yo son will load the dishwasher, tho I usually have to straighten things out on the bottom rack.

    Jane~Glad you are feeling refreshed, we all need to have some down time. Have fun planning the reception!

    Sassy and everyone else~Hope you are having a wonderful day.
  • let me see if I can figure this one out.....I opened up a second window so that I can respond to the posts from the last page AND not lose my responses in the process!

    Cristina~ The extra dollar in pay will come in handy, since he was making just over the minimum wage at the last job! I remember the one nurse saying that they are only open until noon on Friday's, so hopefully they will have an opening!

    I have to agree with you guys on the randomness of Heath Ledger dying. That same randomness goes along with Brad Renfro dying last week. It just makes you wonder if Hollywood is really the best place to be. Although, Heath preferred the Bohemian life in New York as oppose to Hollywood.

    Francie~ He is a machine operator. And in this one state recession there really aren't that many options for him. He tried to go to school for an IT tech, but he couldn't get a loan for it. So, he has to make an appointment with a guidance councilor at a local community college for culinary arts.

    Marti~ I hope you can get rid of your cold soon!

    Ellen~ How did the scrapping go? Or did you nix it for now?
  • Hello Jaded Ladies

    This is quick fly by. It's been a really busy day and leave for Bible study in about 30 min. I ended up going to bed around 3 am because I got into a pc game with DH last night. He gets cheat sheets and read and walk him through his games (some times). It's a together thing we do. lol Any way thanks to a phone call this morning, I got up earlier than I probably would have. I had gotten up earlier and layed back down for 15 min and went back to sleep. Long story short... when I got home from getting my nails done, DH had decided to run around all afternoon and go out to eat again today.

    Francie - I am glad you decided to live your own life. That is what you are supposed to do. My deceased hubby used to tell his mother "You can tell me what you would do, but I will decide what I am going to do". I think that is good advice for all of us. Did I ever tell you that my precious babysister who is 11 years younger than me name is Frances? DH Mother's middle name was Frances and my grandfather's name was Francis. I guess you could say I had a lot of special people named Frances in my life. LOL

    Guess I better run and get ready to leave. Y'all have a good evening and I'll catch ya later.

    Hugs,
    Trish
  • Mindee~I too open two windows so I can see and type without losing my post, but today the kids came in and bothered me, right as I was closing a window, and I accidentally closed the wrong one.

    Y'all have a good night!
  • Hi Chicks.
    Hi all.

    My fil is having some health issues, its been on going for a while now, but once again its turned its ugly head. I won't go into everything, but he isn't going to be able to do much of anything for 4-6 months at the very least. He was talking to DH about possibly getting a 2nd mortgage and adding on to their house so we could move in, then we could help out around the house and also with finances, etc. So that is probably what will happen, nothing is definate of course, but like I told DH I don't think they have a choice, I think its a have-to thing. And if we do that, my mom can move in too (if that is alright with my in-laws and her) and she can help out too. But we shall see, as I said, nothing is definite.

    So I just have to get through tonight and I'm off my normal time. I did put in to take a week off the first week of Feb, but we shall see if I get it.

    Take care,

  • Quick question..Has anyone ever gone to a water aerobics class?? I'm going tomorrow morning and I'm kinda nervous about it.
  • Quick hello ladies. I am supposed to be in Vegas right now. I did put DH on a plane today and he is having a good time.
    I am here with Mom as she is having problems again. I am thinking they might put her in the hospital tomorrow. If not I will pop back in and let you know how she is.

    Hope everyone is having a good week.
  • Big Sue, I hope your mom gets better soon.

  • Sue~I hope everything is ok with your mom ((hug))

    Sassy~What an interesting prospect...I don't think I could see my parents and y inlaws living together. LOL Hope your FIL gets better soon. ((hugs))

    Francie~I did water arobics in College...I liked it, but it was more for older ppl. They do offer it at the gym I go to, and I have seen some of the classes and they are way more intense than the one's I wnt to. Let me know how it goes!

    Well, Tonight was a rough one. Dh ended up witha two hour commute home, so we didn't make it to the gym, then I got all whiffy and we went out to eat, I didn't do too badly Ruben sandwich (dressing on the side) and cup of chicken veggie soup. I did have about 3 of my daughter's fries too. So frustrating Dh is getting braces tomorrow, and he has been moping for days...he has some real issues with mouth/teeth pain. I keep telling him that braces do not hurt like cavities, just more of an ache, but he keeps worrying about it. I just wish I knew what to do/say to help him, but I feel like I get brushed off...very frustrating. Well, I better go to bed Big day with wall paper, then off to the gym since I didn't make it today.

    Sleep tight ladies!
  • Hugs to you and your mom Sue.
  • hello ladies...how are you all doing?

    well, we got our taxes partially done. we have to wait for a 1099-R because Tommy had cashed out his IRA he had at his last job. (It was either cash it out, roll it over, or lose it) But our lady that helped us out, told us that once we get that and a couple of other things that we forgot, to just make an appointment and come back in to finish it off. She said that if we both can't make it in there, then the one that does can take the papers back to the one that couldn't. So, that was a relief, and we got a ball park amount on how much we are getting back. But the lady told us that it will go down because of the 1099-R.

    Sue~ I hope that your mom is okay. I will keep you and her in my thoughts and prayers for her appointment.

    Sassy~ I will keep your family and your FIL in my thoughts and prayers as well. I hope he gets better soon.

    hello to every one else....I was busy doing a couple of other things that I got sidetracked and ran out of time! I hope you all are doing well!
  • Good Afternoon Ladies

    I've been trying to get on line all moring. Finally called server and they said there wasn't anything on their end going on, but when I tried again I was on line. So who knows what was going on.

    Any way just wanted to check in really quick and say hi. Got most everything on my list done that can be done for now. I'm going to take it easy today. Y'all have a great day.

    Hugs,
    Trish
  • Sue - I hope your Mom is feeling better today.

  • Well good morning ladies!! This morning has been very productive!! I went to water aerobics w/a friend and omg it was so nice!!! It was not at all what I thought it was going to be. Yes, there was some older ladies there, but they were cool. The exercises were sooo nice!! I really enjoyed it. I cant wait to go back. We even stayed in the sauna for awhile. It got a little weird cuz 2 ladies took their towels off and they were naked, lol. I wasnt expecting that. But alls good. We're going to the gym tomorrow with another navy wife. So yay!! I have workout buddies now.
