WOW :o did anyone watch opera?I thought my house got a little dirty.That woman has issues.BIG ones. Holy cow, I really didn't know people actually lived like that.I get behind on laundry and don't vacum for a couple of days but that's about as far as I let it go.I make the kids do their part or my house probly would be that bad.Anyhow,just checking in.Got some lasagna in the oven and i'm going to make some ice tea and salad to go with it, so I'll check back in later.ttyl Angel

Well I'm back for a few minutes. Got my quiz done for class tonight and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just need to check a couple answers with some classmates tonight, don't worry we are allowed to! LOL I also met with the principle of the school I used to work at today and I'm going to be volunteering there next term and I get to be in the classroom with my best friend who is student teaching there!! I am super excited because the teacher is really nice and I will be able to see my friend more, we've kind of grown apart since she started the MAT program since it is so demanding but this way we can still hang out. Anyway it was fun and great to see some of the kids that used to be in my club, they are all so big now!! So that is my day so far. Called Hunters mom to see how he is doing since I won't get him till 3:30 and she said he is fine and totally normal so not too worry. I was relieved to hear it didn't bruise bad or get worse overnight. I've been stewing about it all day. I'll get over it soon. So tomorrow is my aunt's suprise 50th birthday party and I am sooooooooo excited. My aunt is like the coolest relative ever and she has NO idea she is getting this party. I get to go early and set up decorations and make sure people stay out of the hallway before she gets there. It should be a blast, she has been working hard to look her best by her 50th b-day and let me tell you. She doesn't look a day past 35! My mom's whole side of the family ages really well so I hope I inherit some of that! Ok enough about me LOL

Crystal glad everything is ok with dh down south :rofl:! Sorry you didn't sleep too well last night, I'm right there with ya. Bayley didn't go to bed till 11:30 then woke up at 3 for a bottle then again at 7 and I made her lay back down but I didn't get much rest after that so I'm pooped today. I guess it's good though for you so you can get used to it before the baby comes eh? Do you usually have your babies sleep with you or just in your room? Good idea about the online shopping, I think I will be doing a lot of that too. I just got the Lillian Vernon catalog and it's got some good stuff in it.

Roxy too funny about the sticky mouse trap! Probably not so funny to you but I got a chuckle out of it. I also CRACK UP when you talk like Smeigel/Golem so funny! I'm also right there with you on the BRATZ dolls! Too much if you ask me. Girls are growing up way too fast these days and dolls like that don't help much. I always thought that I would be the type of mom that didn't care about that stuff but so much changes when you actually have kids. I just don't think some of these toys set the right example you know?

Hey Michelle no procrastinating for me. My mom is going to watch the baby all day tomorrow and then either her or dh will watch her most of the weekend so I can yet again lock myself in the office. I don't mind too much though cuz I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. One good thing about having my presentation this Wed. is that I can get it over with and won't have to worry about it when my cousins are visiting for Thanksgiving. Anyway I like to Christmas shop too, it's the money issue I don't like! LOL but this year we will have extra cash from the home equity loan so that will be great! Too cool about those tickets!! You are so awesome! I would think they would find a way to get there no matter what. It's usually getting the tickets that is the problem. Good for you!!!!

Jeniqua so glad you are feeling better! Too cool about going back to school. I attend classes at Southern Oregon University so I have to actually go to class. Kind of wish they were online but classes like these are easier if you have people you can talk face to face with to get help and such. Congrats to you for going back!!

Deana you sound like a busy lady today. Hope scouts goes good for you tonight. Sorry about TOM!!

Ricci all I can say is ignore them!!! They are obviously immature so just do what you do! Glad everything is going good and you are getting good grades!

Angel nice to hear from you. Good job on joining a gym and for having good body fat %!!!

Ok the little devil is up now. Need to go! TTYL

Hi all.
Angel, I watched Oprah. Wasn't that amazing. Those old cleaning ladies cracked me up. But those homes were resentful. None of us should complain any longer.
Gotta go, hopefully I can cut dh's and Andrew's hair tonight.

well i'm stuffed full of salad,Lasagna and dessert was hershey kisses with the carmel in the middle.Them things are addictiave.
Hot tomatoe-Thanks for the offer.If it was possible i just might have tried it. :lol: jk.I just think my body would be better poportioned if I was just a little bigger up top.
Well I gotta go get kids ready for bed.ttyl

Hi Chicks!

I'm kinda slowing down now hoping for a quiet evening. I did say "hoping".

Michelle- that is so great and generous of you and DH to get those tickets. What a wonderful idea! Where is your warrior from? We were also two hours from Chicago. Just a thought on this, but you could arrange for him to meet a player or something like that through their Public Relations Manager, they are very accomodating to sick children. I believe they have their own website. That would probably make his century! Also, I used to also love shopping but we have SO MUCH STUFF already! We have stuffed animals galore, baby dolls, how many do ya need? Not to mention everything that Grandmas and other relatives send. It just gets harder as time goes on, to think of something they don't already have. I do give some away too. I should just give you my credit card and let you do my shopping. You probably do a great job!


Angel- Oh well... guess I have to keep them ol' things myself. Thanks for telling us your dessert...as I sit here with my diet rite trying to be good and not drool or fantisize over carmel. Was that Oprah show about one of those houses of squalor that the clean up? Don't have T.V. so I don't quite understand what you and Crystal were talking about.

Hey Jillybean!- Glad you have like a whole day to squirrel away and get that monkey off your back. You must be one of those people that do better under pressure! Not me! I have to plan ahead and get things done early so I don't go crazy. Glad Hunter is better! I hope your Aunt likes her party! Have fun!!

Crystal -thanks for giving out some additional shopping sites, I really need to start. That's probably the best way to go. At least it will get done with out mice getting into things. :lol: I hope everything goes okay for your DH tomorrow. I really don't like hospitals myself, I don't blame him for being nervous, but he'll be fine.

Ricci- I agree with Jill, ignore them. They are jealous. Just look at the age group. Glad you are really staying on track, you will do great!

Hey Deana- busy! Busy! Busy! Are you home yet or playing slingo? :lol:
Hope you feel better since you went to Curves. BTW love the siggy!

Well, I'm going to go crack the homework whip and get them off to bed early tonight. I think I'll crochet a little bit, and pretend I'm sane. TTYL

~Roxy

Roxy-Those sticky mouse traps are horrible. My nephew got one stuck to his pants that stuck to a stool at my mom's house and we really had to yank to get him undone from the whole thing. Isn't it funny though...you never see a mouse stuck to them. :rofl:

Crystal-Glad your dh is okay so far. Good news....YEAH!!!!!

I'll get personal tomorrow. My back is killing me for some reason. And this cold that I thought was getting better...isn't. Nicole is now sick too. Spent all last night with her in our bed. Her nose was so stuffed up, she'd wake herself up because she couldn't breathe. She was sooo scared and shaking. Of course I didn't have anything to giver her. Poor baby. Got some stuff today to help her tonight. Well I'm going to go. I have a headache like you wouldn't believe. Had to work and doesn't look like I get a choice in that. The other gal that I work with has fluid in her knee so she can't work for awhile. YUCK! Pick on me.

Well I'm going to catch my Thursday night tv line up....ER!!!! CSI!!!!

Hi Ladies :D

Just wanted to stop in :)
I just skimmed the posts but I wanted to say...

Michelle,
You know what else you can do with those stuffed animals... I take the kiddos to the nursing homes at Christmas and give to the elderly. I know most hospitals don't like them there b/c of the spread of germs but just a thought :)

Can you post the cancer warrior site again :) I thought I had it right but can't seem to find it.

I would like to help all types of organizations and not just kidney problems. You never know what might affect your family at one point or another.

My ad came out in the paper today but for some reason, I can't find it on the website... I'll scan it later on tonight if I can.. :)

Anyhow, I need to get my kiddos in the bed and get some work done. :) Have a great night!

Hugs to you all! Penny

Penny it's c-warriors.org that would be great if you got a warrior too!! Kristin is waiting for hers right now!! Can't wait to see your ad!!

Roxy I was thinking about trying to arrange for him to meet a player, I don't know if I have enough time to get it set up though. The game is December 1st, I'm gonna see if I can get something set up though :) thanks for the suggestion!

Chris, how is your weather? It is soooo icky here!!! Rainy and cloudy just plain grey!!I hope you back starts to feel better.

Okay I'm at work and I just wanted to stop in and say hello. :wave:

Michelle

Michelle,
Congrats to you on getting the tickets for your warrior! How are you sending them? Make sure you insure it just in case. :) Where does he live? I went to his webpage :) He is such a cutie! I am sorry I haven't commented on the trip to the hospital! How are you feeling now? I was really worried about you! :grouphug:

Zach lives in Illinois he is 12 years old with relapsed neuroblastoma :( I can't wait til he gets his package!! I'm so proud of you girly!! You are doing so many wonderful things!!

Michelle

Hey Everyone :coffee:
I have been totally MIA this week. Very very busy. Almost to busy. hopefully next week isnt as busy...*sigh*...I totally watched opera yesterday whilst I folded laundry...GOODNESS....that seems so unhealthy to me. Its funny though becuase I have friends that seem to be really together and when I went to their home I nearly died.

Phoenix.
P.s.
I lost 5 pounds this week. :D
