Good morning ladies,
crystal, glad your feeling better, and sorry Anthony Micheal Hall is mine!
We always make sure the boys are in bed by 8:30 on sunday nights, so we can watch the Dead Zone uninterrupted. My fav tv show, present, Dead Zone, Joe schmo 2,Days of our lives. Past Friends, Full house, ALF, Punky Brewster,and Rags to Riches, I think thats what it was called.
Anyway, Congrats to all the losers. I have to go exercise and clean my house. Just so you all with boys know, their bathrooms are gross even when they are older. My ds's and dh share their bathroom, and while they don't pee on the floor, it splatters, and guess who has to clean it? I tell myself one day the boys will be old enough to clean the bathroom themselves. Anyway, I will check in later. Have a great day.

Oh Penny, I don't like my extra weight, I don't like my sagging boobs, I don't like my feet and I actually have noticed a few lines around my eyes, I'm 27, they're not suppose to be there, right? LOL!!!
But, I don't like doctors, or hospitals or needles or any of that so I wouldn't do good with surgery. I just can't stand seeing all these women trying to defy aging by surgery, makes me sick, do you know what I mean? Like my mom can't stand her gray hair, my MIL, wears mid-drifts shirts, she's 44 or almost and I think aging is a great thing. Like my bil tells my mom, what's the alternative...death. I know I'm way off the subject and I know none of you were or are trying to defy aging, but that's what I think of when people start talking surgery.
Andrew definitely isn't feeling better. But I would have to say I am. I've already made beds and cleaned the kitchen, just the dishes and the sink, and put up two loads of laundry while one is drying and another is washing. So you all must have motivated me. But then again, you all made me want to watch Friends and I'll do that too.
The funniest thing, I refer to the girls as just that. Of course, Ally is Ally and Alisa is Kailey, (which is her middle name), or sister. But Andrew calls Ally, Ally, but for the life of me, he keeps calling Alisa, girl. That's what he actually calls her. He knows she's Alisa, but he calls her girl. It's so funny and cute. Just thought I'd share.

Ricci, isn't funny how geeky Anthony Michael Hall was in Sixteen Candles, and all those movies. Sure grew up to be a hottie. What about Walt, he's a hottie too. That one episode when he was in that kind of tight plain white t-shirt, oh my.
Were you watching The 4400? That was really a neat show. We'll be waiting until next season.

Good Morning Girls

Crystal you are working your butt off. Take it easy on yourself. I wish I could get some motivation, I might make a cup of coffee. But I don't have any skim milk to put in it.

I agree, Spryng you tell hubby fix the pipes before anything else. It is to hard on you to try and manage all that stuff by yourself. I am sure he will get it taken care of. How long is he home for? Good luck. Gosh I have got to get back on track this week. Hopefully all of you can keep me in check!

Penny the roast turned out great. Moist and delish. It was a beef roast and we made wraps with home-made guacamole and tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, and tortilla chips and all the other naughty fixings.

Ricci your a lucky woman. I wish I had perfect boobs .

Well I better get going. The kids are talking in my ear and I can harldy type. Hi to everyone else. Did someone mention oatmeal cookies? Oh, one of my favs. Check in later. Julie

Morning, gals Still OP today! Had 6 points so far . . .

Hey, Ricci! I'm scared of lasik surgery

Geri- good to hear from you . . . I can only imagine as DH alone messes up the bathroom

Penny- I'm glad you have faith in me - that's sweet Sounds like you and DH had an awesome spontaneous time! Good for you

Mel- good to see you again We had a hectic weekend too - actually, a hectic week last week. Hope you enjoyed your weekend, though.

Lori- doesn't the laundry just seem never-ending? I hate it!

Crystal- glad you're feeling better. I hope Andrew turns the corner soon. That's soooo cute about calling Alisa "girl." LOL.

QOTD: past- Golden Girls. (I know that sounds strange, but it's very nostalgic for me and reminds me of my grandmother and her friends when she was alive and in a Florida retirement condo). Current- CSI first and Six Feet Under second. Hmm, makes it seem like I'm obsessed with death

I know I've been posting less than usual. Liam has become much more mobile and I have to stay on top of him more and make sure he isn't putting something danerous in his mouth or falling down while trying to walk from table to couch holding on! Every day's an adventure! TTYL.

Julie- I missed your post (was writing mine) - hi! Oatmeal cookies are your fav, huh? I'd have to say Chocolate chip for me! Any big plans for the day?

Morning ladies

10:19 and still drinking my coffee. Gotta have it in the morning. Hardly ever in the afternoon or later.

Crystal...come clean my house too! Naw, you're pregnant and after all that work you need some rest! I have absolutely NO motivation today. I haven't even exercised or showered yet. It's supposed to rain so we've gotten ourselves downstairs and here I am. At least the boys are changed and dressed and fed and happy (for the moment ).

OK, which one of you sent your sleepless kiddie vibes to my house? Tony woke up at about 2:15 just screaming to be picked up. I thought he would fall asleep with me on the couch but he kept sitting up and looking at me and just tossing/turning. So I finally took him into our bed at about 3:30..never have done that with him. He fell asleep instantly...so did I. Woke up around 4:15 and put him back in the crib. Don't know what woke him up...maybe a dream or something. He was up by 7:30 for the morning.

Julie, the roast sounds like it was delish! I love anything with a Mexican twist.

QOTD...current ER, Survivor, the Bachelor/Bachelorette ... just read that Jen Scheff will be the next bachelorette in January. Past... Melrose Place. I think Soapnet is going to re-run it soon but I don't have time or patience to watch so much TV lately.

Ricci (aka PB-perfect boobs )...I think it was more splatters than actual pee on the floor...I was exagerating but it was gross none the less. So much to look forward too!

Penny...your last minute date sounds like fun. I love Olive Garden but try to avoid it since I'm horrible at making good decisions when it comes to eating out and the breadsticks are to die for!

Lori...hard to imagine you fixing dinner while the rest of us are fixing breakfast . 6 straigt hours of sleep huh? What's that!!

Don't really have any plans for today. I do need stamps so will probably have to make a run to the post office or the grocery store. Hopefully my Mom will call and she'll pick them up for me. I hate to drag the boys for such a short trip. Will throws a fit if we don't stay out longer....then he'll act up in a store if he's in that kind of mood...it's just easier to stay home.

Well, if we're down here a lot today I'll be checking in often. Have a great day. I have WI tonight and I'm not looking forward to it...but then maybe that will get me back OP when I see how much I have gained .

Hi to everyone else out there and I'll TTYL!!

Hi Leigh...dual posts!! Glad you're back OP. I WILL BE SOON!!!! So far so good for today..but no exercise.
Glad you're back!!

Yahoooo! I got my half hour walk off the pounds in....I'm gonna make it this week. Then I'll be doin the Dora " We did it" dance!

Hello, Leigh, Ricci, Lori and Crystal and Geri, Spryng, Michelle, Penny, Jill and whoever I missed. I'll be out most of the rest of the day, so I won't post again till around dinner here.....that reminds me, I must take something out of the freezer....

Congrats on the walk Mel! Wooo Hoooo!!

Man, I tried to get up a little earlier but I still have a lot to catch up on! My house is pretty close to clean which is a miracle for Mondays so I will be able to focus on the "zone" today as flylady puts it! I'll be home all day cause I will be waiting for the computer man. Knowing how they are I'm sure he will be here around 5 tonight!! I dont really mind staying home today though cause it is supposed to be 102 today!! Yuck! I don't do well in heat like that.

QOTD: Anything from back in the day! Penny I had to laugh when you said Full House cause my sister and I used to watch it all the time and I have been watching it a lot now that it is on Nick at Night! However I would have to say that Roseanne is my favorite. I just caught up on almost all the episodes after I had Bayley cause they were on all times of the day and night and I was up all the time with a new baby! So I would feed the baby and watch Roseanne, she cracks me up! As for now I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette! Thanks Geri for the update on that, that's cool it will be Jen!

Melissa good job getting your house clean and getting in some exercise today, don't let Penny show you up! LOL!

Penny I got really excited when you said you were going to go clean your classroom and paint tomorrow. I think that is so exciting for you! I can't wait till I get my own classroom and can teach, I think it will be great. You are going to have so much fun! Are you totally excited? I also got really jelous when you said you had Olive Garden last night! I love that place, we just barely got one like a year ago so we were way stoked! I can't go there and not eat the breadsticks though so if we ever go I have to be very good for the week. Hope you ate some breadsticks for me!

Crystal, sorry you didn't sleep any better. It will get better soon, I hope. As for your headache, someone posted something about it being pregnancy related and that made me remember when I was pregnant I had really bad headaches for awhile because of all the hormone changes. That could be what is causing it, not sure though. Have you been drinking enough water, my dh gets bad headaches when he gets dehydrated. Just a thought. Good job on getting housework done! Hope you have a productive day and have fun watching friends.

Lori, the pool sounds fun! I always get exhausted there too! Hope you get caught up on your laundry! Wierd that you are eating dinner now and I haven't even had breakfast.

Ricci (Perfect Boobs) PUNKY BREWSTER!! You had me laughing out loud! I loved that show too! I wish they would bring it back on Nick at Nite or something so we could watch it again!

Julie, Oh my gosh your dinner sounded soooooooooo good. I love making tacos that way. My dh and my dad were raised eating tacos with ground beef so my mom always made them like that but when I found out that she was raised eating them with roast beef I made her make them and I thought I had been robbed my whole life! They are so much better, no offense to people who like them with ground beef but I prefer the roast beef. Send some my way ok?

Leigh I know what you mean about babies becoming more mobile, Bayley started crawling in July and is now pulling herself up on things so if she is not in her walker or confined in this room with me I don't like to be on the computer either. I think the lovely days of having a cute little baby that just lays around is over! I knew my life would change when she started crawling and it has! Hope you find time to post more though cause we miss you!

Geri sorry about the bad vibes I sent your way! LOL! Bayley did ok last night but she is still not back to normal. You should feel comfort that most of us feel your pain! LOL! I'm sure you'll catch up on sleep tonight!

Ok I think I got everyone who has posted today, if not I am sorry but I have been typing for like 30 min. so I am done for now!

Jaymi, where are ya girl?

TTYL

Yall are some posting maniacs

Just checking in briefly. We started no tv today here at the B household. So the boys have been playing like mad. I love seeing their creativity. OH and I think I may just be a genius. My kids love to build forts and such. They drag out he dining room chairs and they put quilts , then begans the process of putting the quilt back up every 2-3 minutes because they are constantly going in and out and pulling it off. OH BUT TODAY I had a masterful thought. I said to myself "self, what about a fitted sheet, wouldn't that be the greatest'' and so thats what I did...got the fitted sheet on the corner of the four chairs. Voila tent and no constant fixing. I'm am awesome.

You'll all need to notice my signature line...potentially there was a 1.5 lbs loss bring me to over ten pounds total. Just make sure to post lots of accolades.

Ok...off to catch up with the thread and I'll post more later. So far I've been doing laundry...deep cleaning the powder room, using the floormate, wet swiffering the bathroom, dusting baseboards and intermittenly playing with my boys and reading books. Now I'm off to print out some Olympics worksheets and stuff for our unit on that.

Hope yall have a great and OP day.

Congrats Cheri!!!

You have a floormate??? Is it worth the money???

Holy cow!! I can't even begin to catch up!

QOTD: Past, Cosby and Current, American Idol but Leigh I love golden girls too that show is a riot! We dont have a channel that plays it here.

I had to go yell at the neighbor kids today because they were hitting crab apples with golf clubs into our yard! I can't believe their parents let them do that!! I'm waiting for my big windows to be smashed. Ughhhh

Nothing planned for today my MIL told me not to clean the house at all until she came because she wants to do it lol. Isnt that wonderful!! So no cleaning otherwise she'll be bored while here. I'm waiting for her to get here to go pick out paint colors but the only thing is that she doesn't like the dark/bold colors that I do. My living room is white and forest green and she thinks we should do a neutral color but I really love the dark colors they add a little something to the room. **** if I don't like it we can always repaint.

Anyway you guys probably won't see much of me next week cuz we'll be busy and stuff.

Anyway I better get going and start the day. I'll get personal later when I can catch up.
