I had to come in here and post this accomplishment!

Brandon, as you all know, has been in school now since February 28 of this year. Well, we have noticed a HUGE difference in his speech since he started school and was interacting with other kids. His latest accomplishment, happened today!

All three kids have these label things that go on their cups/bottles, that my mom bought them. Well, since Brandon and Logan like to fight over their cups, I make sure to put their labels on their cups so there are no fights. Well, Brandon got up and ready to go to school, and he went into the fridge to get his cup. He opened up the door and stood there, I didn't say anything because I wanted to see what he was going after.

He lifted up Logan's cup, and spun the cup around so he could see the label. He then took a couple of minutes and then placed the cup back into the fridge. He then lifted up his cup, spun it around to see the name on the label, and then turned around, looked at me, gave me a thumbs up and closed the fridge door!

He has also been bringing home papers from school, that you can tell he wrote his name (with a little bit of help). They have a couple magna doodles around the house, and Brandon picked up the big one the other day and started to use one of the accessories and he was writing letters. He did a perfect upper case D, and then proceeded to do a smaller upper case D on the inside of the first one!

Logan, our little bruiser, is at it again! He didn't take a nap at all today, so he was a little hellion to say the least! He spent most of the day being mad at me because I told him he had to lay down and take a nap, so he kept flipping Brandon's toddler bed over. The last time he flipped it over, he tried to run away from me, but he had slipper foot pajamas on, and kind of ran/slipped into the wall. The sound of it sent sheer panic over me until he turned around. With the insurance issue still in the process of getting worked out, I have been really worried about them getting hurt and having to take them into the hospital or to the doctor's office.

When he turned around, and instantly started crying, I knew he was surely going to have a headache from it! He started to get the tell tale red mark in the spot, so I got him a ice pack before it would get too bad. It started to bruise a little bit, but then he put the ice pack on it and it seemed to have helped. Now, I am just dreading the morning to see if the knot/bump got any bigger or any other colors appear!

Little Miss Marissa, has been a handful herself as well! One night about a month or so ago, she was really fussy so I took her for a walk around the complex. Well, that has now turned into a nightly ritual! (knock on wood.....she didn't wake up when daddy went to bed tonight) But it has been nice to get out and walk with her at night!

Good Morning Ladies, A quick fly by as today will be a very busy one. I have an appointment a 3. I am babysitting my little nephew as my sister is in the hospital with a bad staph infection in her let. The doctor had to lance it and put in a drainage wick. She will the there until at least Friday. I am going to see her. I need to plant some flowers, garlic, and yellow pole beans.

I have to tell ya I weighed in this morning the digital scale said 193.6. I will wait til Mondays' weigh in before I count it as the real thing. I will make a ticker tape then. I have been saying I will make a tape, then something happens I don't get it made.

Mindee~ I am very proud of Brandon. He is doing G R E A T!! Give him a big hug for that one. Please let us know how Logan's bump is today.

I have to get going, catch ya all later. Have a great day. Pat

Good morning, ladies,

Marti - yep, all that yard work sure does count as a workout. Bet your yard looks so nice.

Tammy - haha, glad the ex noticed how good you look. Sounds like she brought reinforcements with her to give her courage. Hope you had fun with your mama today.

Trish - I think you're right about the water, but not sure. Sounds good to me! Have fun in Charlotte today.

Mindee - aw, Brandon is learning so much! How's Logan's bruised head today?

Pat - yikes, I hope your sister is better soon. Those staph infections can be real scary.

Hello to all others. :wave:

Today I have to drive Neal to his neurosurgeon doctor appt. in Evansville. Just another checkup to see how much progress he's made with the nerves in his leg.

I've been OP and feeling good about that.

Have a good one, ladies. :hug:

Is is Friday yet?

I'm almost caught up at work! Knew I'd get there, just wasn't sure when. So I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry for the quickies all the time, but I'm always on the go. I'll pop in this weekend when I'm taking time to relax a bit, unless I'm out in the yard again finishing up what we started last weekend.

Gotta go ladies.....check back in soon.

just thought I would pop in here before heading to bed.

my little man is growing up, that is for sure! sometimes, I think he is growing up too quickly on me, but hey, what can you do? it is bond to happen, right? (has anybody invented that potion that keeps them as babies forever yet?)

We got a letter that we should be getting our government check tomorrow......and I am hoping that it comes in! we are so far in the hole, that we can see a little light that we think is the top. but at least we still have each other, which is what really counts, right?

Pat~ His head is actually really good. You can't even tell that he bumped it unless we tell you. He has no bruise whatsoever. All he had yesterday was a red mark, which I thought for certain would have turned into a bruise by the time he got up this morning, but thankfully it didn't!

Jane~ How did Neal's appointment go? Logan is doing great! Still bouncing off the walls like usual! He was bouncing around while I was trying to get him to put him to bed, and I said "you are the true definition of the phrase a bouncing baby boy!" Tommy started laughing. Before that, I was laying on the couch with Tommy and Logan climbed up on me and was standing and bouncing on me. I looked at Tommy and said "I should have known he was going to be this rambunctious since he was this rambunctious when I was pregnant with him!"

Hey ladies, I seem to be doing better now..my MOrning sickness just about did me in. I should have been more prepared, as I had a hard time with the first three, but I guess I forgot. Hopefully I can have a normal life again...I have had enough of the couch and TV. Can't wait to see you lovely ladies!

Ellen- Glad to hear you are feeling better. I never had extreme morning sickness, just a little of the queasy stuff for a short time. What is your due date? Hugs to you.

Looks like we have to start over here. I did get a signature made in between the storms here. See you all later. It is storming again.

Officially my due date is Dec 29th, but due to other complications I will most likely be having a c-section on Dec 22nd. So Christmas will be interesting around here.

Well, since I haven't been able to do much of anything, not much is going on...the high lights have been getting in the shower, but I can tell that I am slowly feeling better, so hopefully I can get back to the gym in the next two weeks...I know the kiddies are itching to go swimming as the outdoor pool has been open since memorial day...and the weather seems to be getting hot! I actually put the air conditioning on this last week because of the humidity from the storms...we have not gotten hit with as many as they said...they keep breaking up by the time they get to us. Well, I do have to make it to the shower today...so I will catch you ladies up tomorrow after church (first trip in about 4 weeks)

Later Ladies!

Hello Ladies,

I tried to get on yesterday when I came by the house to get mail and put groceries away, but 3FC was down for maintenance and now I can see why they were down. Seems we've lost everything between 5/33 and today. Tony's surgery went very well. Doctor said everything around the prostate gland looks good and he only took that gland. He seemed to be excited about how successful and well it went so DH should now be "cancer free". Tony has pain, but had no problems or complications. He is doing really great. We came home this morning and he is resting. We go to the doctor's office Thursday to get the stitches out.

Another word of good new is that Daddy called today and Mom came home with him from Rehab this morning.

Ellen - It is so good to hear from you. We were wondering how you are doing. Glad you are beginning to feel better.

Sue - How are you doing? How is your Mom?

Amanda - Where are you? Are you okay?

Well, I'm tired and I'll have to cook something for us to eat soon so I'm going to rest a little until then.

Jane, Mindee, Pat, Ruth, Marti and Everybody else I missed have a great week end.

Hugs,
Trish

Hey we're back up and we've lost some posts! :o

Just glad that Suzanne was able to save what we've got!! :hug:

I've got to go paint our garage, but will be back later on tonight to chat.

Until then ladies! :wave:

just popping in quickly to see how every one is doing.....

we have a graduation party to go to today! so I have to get the kids and myself ready for that while Tommy is in the shower.

Ellen~ It is good to hear from you! Congratulations again! when will you find out what you are having? or I should ask if you are finding out what you are having?

Hola!!!
 

Hey all,,,seems we had some interesting things happening around here....lol
I admit I was lost...kept going in circles.

Trish,,,glad to hear Tony's surgery went well...he will be good as new soon. And Im happy about your Mom.

Congrats on the baby news Ellen....
I didn't really suffer all that much with the first pregnancy but the second knocked me back a few weeks...lost alot of weight actually. I walked out of the hospital the same weight I was when I first got pregnant.

Hey Sue,,,sounds like you guys have had alot of storms...we have had rain,,,rain and more rain..blah

Mindee...did you watch the game? I was pretty excited with the win....

Well Monte and I went to the casino to see Caroline Rhea...(biggest loser's host 2 years ago...and she was on Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
She does a stand up comedy,,,she was pretty funny...so down to earth. And expecting a baby...
Im excited about work,,,they might of finally hired someone to do manifests which would mean I don't have to anymore....this is a great thing. I could focus on 1 job...mine.

Well Monte and I rented a movie so am going to go see that.

Hi Everyone. I am trying desperately to get back into this group. If anyone out there in Jaded Ladies land receives this post. I can not find chit chat#297.
Thanks Pat

Hi ladies,

I hate that we lost the post. I have a hard enough time remembering what I'm doing much less what all of your are doing.

Mindee, how was the graduation party?

Trish, I do remember that your husband came out of surgery okay. Glad that things are going well and you two are back at home. Glad to hear your mom is going home.

Pat, you are in the right place! The servers went down and they lost all post from May 23 - June 6th. So we are just starting from here now


Sassy, I have alot of those days were I don't feel like posting. I'll come in and read so I can keep up with everyone. I imagine the secret to Miami is the beach. We have hot humid weather here in Louisiana and it never helped me lose weight. Now if I had a nice sandy beach to sit on...that might have been another story! LOL

Hi Ellen, I don't think you have been posting since I've been back here posting, but congrats on the baby. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Angie, I remember Caroline Rhea, she took over the Rosie O'Donnell show at one point. I bet you and your husband enjoyed yourselves.

Well, last week was a good one. I exercised with the Wii Fit and/or walked on the treadmill 4 or 5 days since last Saturday. I have actually lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks since I've owned the Wii Fit game. Today I had my stepdaughter over to show her how the game worked. Now she is wanting one. It is something that the whole family could play. I can just see her 5 and 3 year old running in place in the living room with their mom or playing the pretend hoola hoop. It will be a great why to incorporate exercise at an early age for her girls.

Also weight wise I'm now officially in a size 14. This morning I weighed 166...I'm starting to drop pretty good since I've started exercising!!

Work related, we had our yearly evaluations...I received a 50 cent raise with another 50 cents if I don't blow it. So...that is my life this week ... hope eveyone is having a good one.

just popping back in here.....

we had a great time at the graduation party! if you are on myspace, I put up the pictures from the party on there now.

Angie~ Yeah I did watch the game! It was awesome!! How is your family doing?

Ruth~ It was great! The kids had a blast....and they got to see one of their aunts who is their godmother.

Hi ladies...

I was going to do some catching up but got invited to a friends to see her new home and stayed much later than anticipated. I'm really tired and ready for bed.

I will catch up tomorrow.

And since we're so close to the end....I'm going to go restart the thread for 297.

See you all there.

Good night.:wave:
