Hey girls gonna try and post again. Everytime I do poof! I don't know if it is the site or my computer. I am feeling so blah today. Ds on his first day of being five was up on the hour throwing up all night long. I am soooo tired. He puked all over my lazy-boy recliner, the seat part. Got the carpet cleaner out and cleaned it but it is shot. So I am going to go buy a cheap couple of chairs. Oh Kempy my dear, see what you have to look foward to if you want to have kids ! Well enough whining from me about pms and puke! How is everyone doing?

Angie you get quesy easy? Don't come here . No, really I hope your knee feels better. Try soaking it to remove the bandage or like you said leave it on but maybe put squeeze some antibiotic ointment in it if you can. You had all white haired blondies huh? So cute. Mine have more of a sandy brown colored hair.

Noelle, your welcome babe! Is work booming for you guys? How are you doing staying OP? For supper tonight we had pan fried chix breast, salad, and fresh out of the oven sourdough bread (hus stopped on the way home from work and bought the bread) it was so good. I could have eaten the whole loaf of bread with tons on butter on it. Actually I almost did, had four pieces. CARBS=YUM! I miss AI. But I don't want January to come to soon for the next season. Maybe Paula and Simon will get married before the next show! I would love it! Or atleast he dumped his girlfriend and they would start dating.

Well I can hardly type or keep my eyes open. I hope tonight is easier. Last night at 2-4 a.m. I told my hus these are really the easy days of parenting. Soon they will be out driving and won't know where in the world they are! Gotta keep postivie some way. Hope to hear from everyone soon! Julie
I hope this post finally works....

Evening Ladies!

Greetings from the Nut House! That is what I call my house when DH and I work on it...we get a little goofy. Work is crazy but wann hear something former business partner got new job offer reneged becasue we went after him with the contract he signs which has a big emboldened section called THE NON COMPETE CLAUSE which he apparently thought we would not use. I am trying to feel sorry but I can't... moral of the story - don't piss me off!

Julie if I could just limit my hormones to raging just when it is tom or pms - I'd love it happy birthday to your dear boy I hope you at least enjoyed the cake! Don't completely crucify yourself...we are all learning moderation and what is worth splurging on - okay maybe that is just my "humble" philosophy...what do I know...I just keep trying till something works!

Angie thanks for the advice on the posting pics - I just gotta figure how to resize my photos and I'll send it out! I know this hurts but please put some hydrogen peroxide or Bactine on your knee so there is no infection. I just scraped my knee remember! We could have a contest with breeding names..the bullshitz, shitzapoo, golden shitz...sorry a little today. I love the old photo idea - I did something of the like for my parents anniversary and that was fun because there are some pictures no child (no matter what age) should see of their parent Dad in leopard skin print tight pants and a pirates shirt and john lennon sunglasses sorry had to share my pain...

Noelle for taking a moment at a time. What do you think - again with my theories - maybe if we just kept thinking about other things outside of food but concentrate on other aspects of our health and well being that it would click for us? I think it could. I know when I start thinking of what I should eat I dwell (okay obsess) on what I shouldn't have BTW - I am so glad to hear you survived the in-laws! Enjoy your beautiful weather

Kempy I hope your day got better and that pool you thought about getting your puppies is a reality. My dog avoid puddles and the hose - So we are going to try a pool - but who knows ?

I hope all of you have a wonderful evening!

Julie we were posting at same time - hope your son is feeling better soon!

Thank you Summer! I hope and pray thing go more smoothly tonight. I hope no one at work gives you a hard time or else they are in for it ! Julie

Hey guys, I am posting with my eyes barely open. I am sooo tired when it is TOM. I am ready to go to bed right now but I just wanted to post and say, I CAN"T STOP EATING!!! Here I am supposed to be the one who loses 3 lbs by July 1st ans I think I am putting them on instead. I really think it is the PMS but this really sucks.

I bought the pool and the poo poo heads wont get in it. Echo just walks circle around it and then they go jump in the ditch.

Angie Neosporine really helps. I am a firm beliver in the stuff. I have a huge tube of it and I use it all of the time I have even put it on the dogs.

Ok, I don't have the energy to write anything else so I will be back tomorrow.

Good Morning girls. I just took the dogs for a SHORT walk. It was nice but I havent moved in so long that my legs got all red and itchy.(remember the feeling from riding the school bus?) Tigger wouldnt stop playing near the road so I had to wait until Jay came home so he wouldnt follow me and Jay said that after I left Tigger sat at the end of the driveway and howled for about 5 minutes. When I came home he came running to me for huggies. That cat loves me so much.

Alright Summer, I guess you showed him whose boss,huh? Serves him right. I got the bandaid off yesterday and now I just let it scab over. It actually feels alot better since I did that. I took the skin off the whole damn kneecap. I am a clutz.

Julie, Did you get any more sleep last night. I hope so. I hope your son feels better too. I should be PMSing anytime I guess. My period is changing every month so I am not sure when it will come until Jay gets his headache.

Kempy,Dont feel bad, I have messed up everyday this week. I had to make some fudge for the bakery last night so I ate a piece of that plus a nobake cookie and a honeybun. And that was all yesterday. Tomorrow we take my Mom out to dinner and then I guess Clyde(moms best friend and me and my sis'honerary Mom) want to go out again to the Olive Garden after the Big birthday party. I only hope I can at least get a grip to get the next 30 pounds off before we go to Florida again. I told Jay that he is definately going to get a snowmobile this year bceause when he has one and he takes off for the day it is easier for me to crank the stereo and workout. I think that is why I didnt actually do any workouts all this winter.

We sat up all night watching old movies of the kids when they were little. They sounded like the 3 chipmunks. What is sad is that I see things on the tapes that I never noticed while it was happening.I wished I had taken more time with them instead of being so short tempered back then. You can see them fighting for individual attention and stuff. It made me feel bad because I never noticed it when they were little because I was so busy trying to do everyday stuff. Corey got the short end of the stick growing up too. I notice it still but I try to not do it. He didnt stand a chance growing up with so many girls. He is playing in makeup and we had him in a pink snowsuit. hahaha I dont even remember that one!@!! The kids love to sit and watch those with us. Brittany told me when she was 4 that she was having 4 kids(2 boys and 2 girls) because Mimmie(my Mom) said so. She said I only want 2 girls but Mimmie said I was having 4 kids. She said she was going to marry Corey too. Sorry to ramble about the kids so much but it brought back so many memories. Especially since Brit will officially be a teen in October. Where did the time go. It seems like it is dragging then you think back and bam they are all grown up.

Oh yeah, I was so FAT on all of the tapes that it made me feel a little better about how I look now even if I gained back a ton of weight. I swear it didnt even look like me.

Good Morning or Afternoon Everyone

Angie have fun going out tonight. Your mom is going to be fifty right? My mom turns fifty next year. I hope you have a good time you deserve to get out! I love the Olive Garden, they have great bloody marys and breadsticks. Happy Birthday to Angie's mom !!!! I love looking at old movies too! It is always a blast and sometimes can bring back feelings

Sorry this is short but the kids are calling and just wanted to say Hi! Thank god no more sickness from my son. But the recliner is wrecked so in the next month or two I want to get a new one when we have the funds! Julie

Kempy glad to see you posted on a day you usually don't, come talk this weekend if you want, I feel the exact same way you do! The pms is a monster this month. Your not alone. I wish I could just go lay out in the sun and sleep but the kids are around. So NO time for myself! Oh well slap a smile on my face and go on with the day !

Julie, actually my Mom's Birthday isnt until July 1(that is the same day as me and my twins and Kempy's birthday too. ) So we have my neices birthday on June 16,My parents anniversary on June 17,Jay's Birthday on June 18,My Dad's birthday on June 28 and Me,Mom,Corey and Alicia's Birthday on July 1. So we roll it all into one big birthday party but this year since she is turning 50 we are doing her Over The Hill party. We did Dad's last year.

Does anyone know if you can rent any Margarita machines or anything for parties? I want to have a bunch of margaritas at the party but I dont want to sit in the house and mix them all day. When we were in Florida at one of the restaurants that we went to they had one but I am not sure if you can rent them at party supply stores or not.

Oh dont even get me started about the breadsticks. I love them with the Alfredo sauce for dipping. YUM!!

Hey girls, it's late in the day but I still wanted to pop in and say Hi . I've got tickets to go see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban tonight (yeah, I'm a geeky fan of those books too). I started re-reading the books since the movie was coming out. I've read Azkaban and am halfway through the Goblet of Fire. My niece was the one who brought the Sorcerers Stone home way back when, I think she was 11 then? Anyway, those books are some of the most read in our house. I even bought Michael his own paperback set of the first 4--and he can't even read yet. He loves it when I read it to him though, and he must've seen the first 2 videos a hundred times over. Anyway rambling again. Does anyone have anything great planned for the weekend? I may try to see Shrek 2 too--I'm such a big kid at heart

Angie, I'm pretty sure you can rent one of those slushy machines from a party rental store. Where I live you can rent those big balloon jumpers for parties and even stuff like sno-cone or slush machines or even full-on popcorn poppers like the movies. Surf the net and maybe you'll find somewhere nearby? Have a good weekend w/your sis and mom. Gosh, your parents are so young compared to mine. I was the last kid and my mom started kinda late...my parents are probably the age of your grandparents. Don't talk about the Olive Garden--we see the commercials here but don't even have one restaurant on the island (did we have this conversation same time last year? )

Julie, so glad the boy is better. I'm sure your TLC made it all go away quick.

Kempy, hang in there girl. I think I'm a week behind you guys, but like Angie said, the dates can change without a moments notice

Hello to Summer, Cal, Holly and anyone else lurking out there. Have a wonderful weekend.

Almost forgot! I was driving my mom around on errands yesterday and the conversation was about the median price of homes here in HI (which keeps freakin' skyrocketing)...anyway, right now the median is about $465K I think. She mentioned that she may just end up selling us the house--like what my grandmother did for her before she died. Isn't that cool? I mean, I have 6 siblings but most of them already have houses and families. I hope we can talk more about this seriously without too much hassle from the "others". It's up to her what she wants to do with her house and she mentioned it without any prompting from me. There is a glimmer of hope for me yet

I am cukoo for cocoa puffs over Harry Potter! I love the stories. I have no kids to read them to but I am in line when the books first come at the bookstore! Love Love Love Love Love
I am a big kid at heart too! Climbing trees, wrestling my 18 year old brother,etc. Just a big kid who likes her wine

This is my last free weekend for 6 weeks! We have weddings, baby showers, relatives visiting, graduations etc. In New York graduation is not until the end of June.

Angie you can rent the machines for slushies (which can be improvised as a frozen margarita dispenser) around here so I would imagine you can in Maine. That is such a great idea! I just would park myself under the spicket and fight through the brain freeze Enjoy the dinner with your Mom and sister!

Noelle that would be so cool about the house! I will keep praying that it will work out.

Kempy how are you? coping with the heat I hope! but how are you doing?

Julie I hope you are catching up on your sleep and that mother nature is bringing some nicer weather to you

Hi to Cal and Holly and anyone else I may have missed.

Good morning girls

Angie sorry I thought your mom's b-day was yesterday....but that is so neat that you, your mom, and kids, and Kemp's b-day are all on the same day. How great to have a big party like that. About the machine rental, I know we have a store in town that rents everything from grills to furniture. Maybe there is something like that in Bangor? I wish I could come, have not had a margarita in 6 years between being pregnant and breastfeeding. But now I am in the clear and ready to party! Only if I would get invited to one !


Noelle my prayers are good thoughts are with you about the house. That is just wonderful news. I got the biggest smile on my face when I read your post. Good things happen to good people! I hope and pray you get it someday soon. I know how much you want a house to call your own. Your mom sounds like a sweetheart. And yes my mom is really young. She will be fifty next year. She had me when she was 19 turning 20. Maybe that is why we butt heads sometimes !

Summer I am glad you and Noelle are kids at heart. They see the world the way it should be. Have a great weekend, relax because it sounds like you will be busy.

Kempy please come out and post if you have time, I am not feeling better either in that area but TOM is suppose to come over tomorrow, so maybe then. What do you have planned? School today and yard work tomorrow? It never ends does it.

Well gotta get going, or btw did anyone watch 20/20 last night? They showed a teenage guy maybe 18 years old and had no legs, they were cut off at the torso and he was such an awesome person with a great outlook. He uses a wheelchair but walks on his hands upstairs and everything, he does everything for himself. He said don't see me as a inspiration, this is what I have and I do the best I can. I was tears after hearing that. And then I think about my stupid bit**ing and I felt bad. I thought to myself a person can always have it worse in life and you have to make the best of single day. Okay enough rambling on from me. Hope everyone get time to pop in, the weather is beautiful so I might go lay out or do some yard work. Have a wonderful Saturday people!!!! Smile Julie

Well I had a great day today aside pms and all, went swimming at the neighbors, went to my mom's and she gave them their birthday presents and made a cake for them. I did not have a piece! WOOHOO!!!! Now I can eat a little more of yummy supper tonight....steak fajitias and homemade guac. and all the other fixings. I am straving right now because I missed lunch. Well better go get in the kitchen. Hope everyone is having fun. Rain is going to be here any minute again. Bye for now Julie

Happy Saturday. I just got home and found that Ronald Reagan passed away. Do any of you remember where you were or what you were doing when Hinckley made the assassination attempt? It seems so long ago. OK, I don't want to know if you were still in diapers . I was ten years old (or in the 4th grade anyway) and we were in class. Some teacher was showing us how to make boiled eggs into the shape of an apple, then we died them red and put a toothpick into them for the stem with a little green paper leaf sticking out of the top. And that's my memory of the day Reagan (and Brady) got shot. Weird how we remember stuff like that, huh? Anyway, I've been out all morning doing school shopping for my son--what a pain in the butt! I've got most of everything except for those composition books, the school wants unlined books and all I can find are the wide rule ones. I hate that--the store has just about everything BUT what you're looking for at the moment.

Angie, I found a little Hawaiian (read: brown colored) Hello Kitty wearing a muumuu and wearing a haku lei on her head. It's a bobble head and kind of heavy but it wasn't as large as I thought and it could probably work as a cake topper. I'll send it to ya first thing Monday morning--look out for it by the end of the week

Hey Julie, on resisting the cake (this as I take the last bite of a Pilsbury cinnamon roll ). I had steak fajitas last night, . I just love those, you can load them up with as many veggies as you want. I wish we had a swimming pool in the backyard, it's soooooo hot. The skies are clouding up again so we may just get some rain tonight.

Summer, do you plan to see the Prisoner of Azkaban movie? I enjoyed it but I think I read the book too close to watching the movie, it took out much of the suprise and well, you know how sometimes the movie director changes the story here and there...I must admit though, the movie characters are really what you imagine them to be as described in the books. 2 thumbs up if you ask me.

Kempy have your 2 girls jumped in the pool yet? I could just see them eyeing it up then sneaking over to jump in the ditch instead . hope your weekend's turning out great.

Cal, only a few more days left huh? Does your school allow for little end of year parties in the classroom? I loved that last day of school half-day and all the radio stations would play Alice Cooper's "School's Out", there I go again, showing my age Enjoy yourself.

Well girls, I think I'll go and finish the Goblet of Fire this afternoon. See ya later.
