Good Afternoon - I got virtually nothing done today I feel like and now I have to go to work! UGH! :) but I love to work there, so its okay :)

welcome Misty :) Its great to have you! :wave: TTYL! maybe tongiht when I get home we can chat! :)

Good evening ladies. I could have sworn I posted this morning, but I guess not. Dd has had me running to get her this and that all day. I did make it to Curves and the grocery store for a few things, cooked supper, got dh out the door and REALLY need to do those cornucopias tonight after kiddos are in bed. Since they only take 20 minutes to bake it won't be bad. Putting them together is the tmie consuming part.

Kristin: Hope you have a gret night at work!

Crystal: Glad the water pump got fixed today!

Misty: :wave: nice to meet you. I'm Deana, sahm to Erik 16, Andrew 9 (on Dec 29th), Matthew 7 and Abby 5 (on Jan 8th). Oh, and almost forgot....domestic goddess to Scott :lol: . You have come to a great group here. They are the best support there is. BTW, we start a new thread each day so watch for us. That is great about your parents adopting the kids. Have fun with them tomorrow!

Penny: Hope you get your warrior soon! Has your mom heard yet? Have fun making the float. We want pics when it's done, or better yet during the parade!

Michelle: I have a free trial of Photoshop and wanted to play around with it. Erik got in a while back and when I opened it to try it, there was only 4 days left. I played a bit but couldn't get done what I wanted so as you can see, I took you up on yours ;) . Thank you, I love it. A bit round, but so am I :rofl:

Phoenix: How was your day inside today? It's been gloomy here all day then started raining around 4 p.m. We are supposed to get snow tonight (pssttt.... I know Michelle sent it to me :lol: ). They are saying 1-3 inches. What is AF? If you mean that time of month (TOM), yes I think we all do. But the good thing is that it's water weight and gone afterwards.

Roxy: Did ya get it figured out? Than you for asking about the image, I was totally brain dead this morning while trying to get mine in there.....:rofl:

Sherry: Glad you popped in. What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Hope you're having a great day!

Well, dh will call me later on his break to let me know if he has to work tomorrow night or not. They go down the list by seniority and if everyone else says no they can't, then dh says sure. It will make Thanksgiving day rough because he will only get about 3 hours of sleep before we have to go to my mom's for dinner. But on the good side, it means we won't have to stay long because he will need to get back home and to bed. That way we won't have to tolerate my sil for too long :D . That's a long story, between her and her kids.....grrrr!

I'm going to pogo til bedtime then to make those cornucopias. I'll check in tomorrow morning.

TTYL

I am going to kill this computer. I can't get onto pogo.com or slingo.com and still can't see anybody's tickers. I've tried everything

Michelle-I have adware and spybot, ran both and ran my anti-virus..still the same. I emptied my temp. internet files, enlarged my caches, tried it without my pop up blocker on and still the same.

Misty-Welcome chick! I'm Chris. Sahm of 3 girls: Tiana, 11 yrs. Kayla, 5 yrs. Nicole 2 years. I'm doing WW Flexpoints and doing okay. The weight's not coming off as fast as I'd like but...

Anyhow, this is a short post. My arm is aching from the stupid RA and from working all day printing. YUCK! I have the rest of the week to myself. Thank God! I'll get personal tomorrow. I'm going to investigate this little problem with this pc and see if I am just not getting it.

Hi everyone!
Sorry to be MIA most of the day. You won't believe what happened! I still can't believe I did it. I broke my kitchen sink!!! I was going to make DH a chicken breast for lunch. I took them out of the freezer, took one step to plop them into the sink. CRACK!!! No WAY!! YES WAY!!! DH was so thrilled. So I've been on the phone with Menard's the rest of the afternoon trying to get a replacement. So I'm kinda ticked but thank goodness it has a lifetime guarantee. I'm so mad at myself.

Michelle- oldest son got the siggy for me. He did it a different way that didn't have to through photobucket or photoimpact. Thanks so much for the siggy, see I told you, can't do it myself. I'm becoming dorky with age.

Hey Deana!! Got my cornucopia done but word of warning do the shell thick and refrigerate and when you do your trimmings do them really thin or they look puffy. It did turn out great though. I did mine different. I used a funnel colander and made the opening wider. Hope yours turn out!

Crystal -you do have water now? It's all fixed, right? Did you every get some rest today?

Kristin -Hi Have fun at work, see ya later!

Phoenix- How ya doing? Sorry dd is not feeling well. How in the world are you going to find the time to do three blankets? Speedknitting... rev up those needles! Btw- what is "AF" when you refered to gaining weight with it. Is that close to TOM? Take care!

Hello and welcome, Misty! I am Roxy, mother to 10, 4 boys and 6 girls. One husband, all mine!These ladies are wonderful! I'm sure you'll have fun and support here!

I'll be back later when I finish cleaning up my cornucopia mess. TTYL

~Roxy

Roxy,
How in the world do you break a kitchen sink? You sound like my sister who stabs herself in the foot with the end of the toothpaste tube. I'm dead serious bout that.

Phoenix-You're going to knit 3 blankets by when? Am I hearing right? I'm going to make 2 bulletin boards and one quilt...hopefully by Christmas. Cross those fingers.

Okay, my arms are really starting to hurt. Gotta give em a break. TTFN

Hello ladies! I've been so busy over here. I just started watching 2 more kids. Tomorrow all the kids are out of school so I'll have a full house. It should be very interesting :). Tomorrow I have a total of 8 kids. I will post in the evening tomorrow though. The kids had a blast with grandma and grandpa surprising them for a visit this past weekend. I love my MIL. Considering we never met each other til the night before my dh and I got married. We are very close. It's probably because we don't live close to each other because my husband doesn't get along with most of my family.

Michelle~ Can I please have a sig?? I would love one.

Crystal~ You're still busy! Do you ever have a chance to slow down??

Misty~ Hello! I think it's great that your parents adopted children. Most of my cousins are adopted. My aunt has a son who's autistic and another son who's ADHD and bipolar. My name is Jeniqua and my dh and I will be married for 6 years on Feburary 13th. We have 3 beautiful biracial children(I'm black and my dh is white) Jasmine 5, Juliesa 4(will be 4 on December 27th) and JT 2 1/2. I live in a small town in Upstate, NY I am 28 years old. I enjoy being a SAHM. I wouldn't trade it for the world!.

Sherry~ Hey!! It was great chatting with you tonight. We always have a blast, don't we?? I'm glad you and Taylor are feeling better.

Roxy~ Hello!!

If I forgot anyone I am sorry..Know I'm thinking of all of you are we work on being healthy and beautiful together!! See you in the AM!!

Okay-Okay!

I think you're on to me...I don't have a normal life. I'm dead serious too.

Oh Deana, I wanted to tell you that I just liked the gingerbread graphic :) It had nothing to do with anyones roundness ;) :grouphug: Also what version of photoshop do you have? If you have photoshop cs with image ready I have a crack for the program ;) you are more than welcome to it if you like.

starting a new thread

OK OK I"M Here ladies! I'm so sorry I haven't had time to post. I've been so darn tired. Exhuasted really. If I didn't just have tom, i'd think otherwise. I think I am just running myself ragged. Anyway, I have another busy day today. My house is a wreck and I have a child's bday party and have to get ready to go to my mothers tomorrow for thanksgiving. I hope you are all well. I did skim yesterdays posts.

Welcome MIsty!

Michelle, all those siggys are adorable. Sorry you have to work tomorrow, hope you get extra pay....

Penny, Hey girl!

Crystal, what r u'r plans for tomorrow?

Cindi, I mailed your present...You will have it Friday or Saturday. Hope you like it!

Deana, I guess we've both been busy bee's. How's curves going. Funny, thought I'd tell ya, even though you joined already. Minute Rice has a coupon for 75 dollars off.

Anyway, I have a little one calling... Love to you all. I promise I'll get with it soon!

Hi Mel,

Call me so we can chat soon :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY

I am crazy...lol
 

Yall I had bookmarked the thread I posted on and so I'm wondering ''where the heck are they?" LOL

Anyway Thank yall all so much for the congrats.

Jill I don't know if you are using the chinese gender predictor? There are 3-4 versions of those out there and on all of them, they have been right...and wrong for me. LOL Depending on which one you use it gets it right for 2 and wrong for 1 or right for 1 and wrong for two. :) I'm very happily a momma of boys so another boy would just give use matched pairs. :) A girl would of course be a joy...but quite a different experience I'm sure. LOL

I hope yall have a great Thanksgiving. I did the stuffing, green bean casserole, broc/rice casserole and deviled eggs tonight. I'll just put the Turkey in tomorrow and make the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin gooey bars and reheat the other stuff. Donald works till 4 so we are eating late anyway.

I hope I've bookmarked this right now. hee hee. :) I will keep up better now. :)
