Mindee--good luck with your letter and your tattoo..

Sassy--I park farther away everywhere and have been trying to walk on both my morning and afternoon break. The pedometer really helps

Crisitna--I did that with Teri when she was pregnant, bought at least one thing every week some weeks it was a pack a diapers or baby bath & lotion others it was something more fun...she had the clothes working at Childrens Place.

Kathy--I am going to try the link again..couldn't get it to open

Sue--what a cutie!!

Thanks for all the hugs and prayers, it will be 10-14 days from last Monday before we hear anything about Dad. He brought me my grandmothers ring..brought tears to my eyes. He's really thinking about things. Mom is keeping her spirits up. We are taking Dominic to the park near her house for fireworks tonight.

WL--meh...not so good, I need to bukle down and stop the mindless grazing that takes over when my stress level gets too high...

Hope everyone else is well!!

Hola All.

Jules I need to do that. I've been so lazy lately!!!!!!! Its terrible!!!!!!!! Also my eating is out of control!!!!!!!!!!

Big

I hope you all have a Very Happy and Safe 4th of July!!!!!

HAPPY ALMOST 4TH OF JULY!!!!

Tommy is making pancakes right now while we wait for the Comcast guy to show up. Then who knows what we are going to do.

Jules~ I will be saying some prayers and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Jules...I need to control myself! Lol...every time I go to the store I wanna buy something for the baby, getting very excited! Daughter said I am having too much fun, I am. Glad your dad is thinking, but sorry it took something like that to make him think. Hugs to you all Bet the baby boy is gonna love the fireworks...none of my kids liked them at his age, so I hope he does.

Sassy...been there, done that...several times. And here I am again starting over. Hugs to you, you'll get back on track!

Mindee...I LOVE pancakes!

Hello to everyone else

I was going to say today has been a lazy day but really, it hasn't, sort of. I have been sitting on my arse for most of the day but...I did get my walk in this morning and then the hubby wanted to put some summer guard on the lawn and asked if he should wait until I mow or what. So, that was an invitation to mow, lol. Mowed both the fron and back which was a 90 minute workout...man I still feel it in my legs too! Anyway...hoping everyone have a very HAPPY and SAFE 4th of JULY!

Ok I hate laptops. This one sucks. I lost my long post.

So now I will try again later when I am not so grouchy.

Jules - hugs and what is your moms name? I think I emailed you the link. (I hope it was your right email address)

Ok....BBL

Kathy...I hate when that happens. I've never had an experience with a laptop...son has one and I tried it once but didn't like it...not a finger person, lol. But he loves it so...come back when you get a chance...a little quiet around here lately...guess everyone has a life but me, lmao!

Didn't get my walk in because of rain, which is nice, sort of. I felt icky for sleeping in...guess my body was telling me something. Anyway...going to do some dvds and a walk on the treadmill I think, dunno. We'll see...nothing going on today...dreading all the fireworks/noise tonight, will be glad when it's over! But will probably watch some from the driveway or the deck...lots of neighbors do lots of the big fireworks. Tomorrow I am off to do some shopping and window shopping at baby stuff with Josh & Charlotte. I need to find some baby shower invitations somewhere too and we will most likely do lunch. That's about all I have.

Off to get some reading done and grill some burgers and dogs when the hubby gets home. Have a good one!

Hi everyone

Cristina I really have no life either. Just haven't had much of a chance to get on as I have had my niece and 1 nephew here for the last couple of weeks. Everytime I turn around someone is on the computer.

Well we have been declared an Agriculture disaster, a drought area. So I don't know what we will do about the horses, as there is no hay.

Cristina - have fun shopping with the kids. The dollar store here always has cute invitations for any sort of party. Does Charlotte still have most of Cambrie's baby furniture? When is the baby due again? I know you have told me 3 times, but I still forgot. I promise I will only forget 1 more time after you tell me again.

Mindee - How do you get Tommy to cook? It would be nice if my hubby would cook once in awhile. Is he still liking his job? Did you come up with an idea for your new tattoo? Cody wants to get one. He was booked in to get one on Wednesday, but the guy decided to take the day off, and now Cody can't get in to see him. I told him he will have to go to another place.

Sassy - You and I are in the same boat. Must have been on the ground beneath the wagon that we fell of of. I have been eating uncontrolably. Probably due to boredom. I need to find a job. Glad the kitties are getting along. Pretty soon they will be inseperable. Has your hubby been taking you for rides on his bike? That would be fun.

Jules - I have been sending you mental hugs. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I was pleased to see that your dad brought you your Grandma's ring. Too bad it takes something like this to make someone think about things. Is Dominic staying with you for the weekend? I hope that he has fun at the fireworks. Punkin slept through the fireworks when we were at Disneyland.

Sue - what a cute little jelly bean you have. I can't believe how fast he is growing. That is very nice of you to share with your hubby and let him hold him to. I tend to hog little ones. How has the bike riding going? My dad has been riding his bike. So far since the middle of June he has peddled 900 km.

SuzyQ - How are you liking the new house? How is Gaby liking Daycare? Has your pool man been laid off yet? Have the girls been down to visit you? When does Gaby go back to school? I changed schools for Cole for Sept. I was tired of hearing about his crayons on the floor, when there was much more serious issues with other kids going on. It got to the point that Cole wouldn't pay attention, and his teacher would ask him if he needed to go sit in the hall, and he would say yes and happily spend the day sitting in the hall doing his work.

Hello to everyone else. Hope all is good with everyone.

Went to see the movie Ice Age 3. Very funny.

Well little Punkin is going with her other Grandparents to New Brunswick to see the relatives on that side of the family...her Great Gramma and some Aunts. She gets to go at the end of July, so Kristi is trying to get her potty trained by the end of the month. We are both making lots of trips to the potty.

Kay I must run and go pick up Cole, who finally spent the night at my brothers place last night. I will not stay away for so long this time.

I guess I never submitted my last post..it's not here...must have exited out to fast or something...

Kathy--My Nanny's ring means lot to me...I have been wearing it ever since...Jerry never got me and engagement ring and that's the finger it fits so it's there. Dominic was exactly 18 months on the 4ht, we are beginning to potty train him..he actually started trying before we did...he runs to the potty. I got him some big boy pants. I told Teri not to think this was going to be a a day process. Don't stay away so long!! Mom's name is Leah.

Cristina--nothing wrong with getting excited over a little one--this is the first one that you actually get to start from the beginning with!!

Mindee--hope you had fun!!

Sassy--love the flip flops!!

once again huppy bellowing...can't believe he's jealous of a computer...ridiculus...

bbl!!

I am back!

we ended up getting my sister to come down and babysit the kids for us, and we went out last night! we spent the 4th of July with Halestorm, Chevelle, Shinedown and Staind! We got to see some fireworks.......but it was all a blast! We got ticket vouchers from my BIL and SIL, and got seated on the hill while Chevelle was playing. Then a lady comes by and asked us if we wanted to upgrade to the pavilion for FREE!!! Heck yeah we do.....and off we went to the pavilion! They were amazing seats and we had an amazing time!!!!

We waited and waited for the comcast guy to show up on Friday and he NEVER showed up! Long story short on that one, they thought that Tommy said that he was going to call back and reschedule, which he never said he was going to do, and so they scheduled it for today! we are now back up and running and not looking back!

Kathy~ To answer your question.....Tommy loves to cook so it doesn't take much for him to want to cook! in fact, he complains that I don't cook enough....so I try to get in there when I can. he is still liking his job a lot! Nope, I haven't come up with anything. I sent an email to our tattoo guy and asked him about some options and such, I am still waiting to hear back from him.

Morning all...

I am sooo sleepy, and even went to bed early. Started on my walk this morning but didn't finish. So getting ready to do a dvd and hit the treadmill. It's only supposed to get up to 87 today so I may just go for my walk later and finish it!

Have WW today and then need to take Cambrie's dvd player back and exchange it...just quit working. We had planned on doing that yesterday but registering took longer than anticpated...but it was fun! Sooo much baby stuff at Babies R Us! not a lot of baby stores around here...may have to make a trip to KC. Anyway...

Kathy...Charlotte didn't save anything! I don't think she ever thought she would ever meet anyone and have more kids. They bought a crib not too long ago, some diapers and a couple of outfits and that was about it. But only because I told her not to, lol. I told her to wait until after the baby shower to see what they get...don't need a lot of stuff to start out with so...the baby is due Sept 23...will be here before ya know it! Sorry about the drought, thats crazy. Especially with all the snow you guys had. Hope you guys dont' lose the horses.

Jules...I'm glad you got your Nanny's ring. How was your weekend?

Sassy...you'll get back on track soon enough...know how ya feel though, it's hard.

Mindee...glad you guys had a nice time. What did the kids do? Did they get to see any firworks?

Susan...hope you aren't working too hard, miss ya.

Well, we did nothing, actually, I shouldn't say nothing because we did grill some dogs and burgers. Then waited for darkness, lol. I am gonna tell ya...there wasn't a direction that you couldn't look at from our house and not see any fireworks...it was awesome! We went on the front porch instead of the deck. V's old boss (he took a new position at work) lives down the street and every year that we have lived here (our 3rd 4th of July) him and his neighbor have put on a great firework show...they spend thousands on fireworks, I kid you not. We sat out there for a little over a hour and a half and went in...they were still going all around us till about 1 am. Anyway...

Hi to everyone else, Katy, Sue, Francie, Tammy, and, and...damn, I know I am forgetting someone, sorry.

Have a great day all!

OK...let's see how long I can make it before hubby hollers.....

Dominic liked the fireworks...until he fell asleep.....Mom enjoyed him being there. She's in good spirits.

Dad is not telling my step-mother about the tumor until he knows more. She's in a nursing home and he doesn't want to stress her out.

Ry is coming over to spend the day with us since this is our work day off holiday..and he's off.

I need to post pics....

Hola all.

UMPH just sooo tired tonight for some reason, do not wanna be at work. lol.

Cristina -- Yeah I know I will just is really hard to get back on........UGH. lol. Glad you had fun on the 4th!

Jules -- Glad Dominic liked the fireworks and I'm glad that your mom enjoyed herself.

Wow! I can not wait until school starts again! then I know I will have some time to breath, let alone some time to myself!

as I type this, it is 10:35 am and the kids are all still sleeping! we spent a lot of time at the pool yesterday and then we had a late dinner and such with our friend and her daughter. so, them sleeping in is a good thing! although it is going to be killer when school starts!

It is looking like another day at the pool again today.....but hopefully not so long this time! then our friend is going to watch the kids tonight for us and we are going to go out. I have to look and see what time the cooking store is open til tonight! I want to go and look around and pick up a checkerboard cake kit.

Quick check in...I am sooo tired...always am the first day of work after Dominic leaves...that boy wears me out..Dad finds out about his tumor on the 20th, don't know why it's taking so darn long...Mom is good spirits...they both are doing better than me...I am a wreck!!!
