You may think I am crazy but.........................

Eeekkk some one is playing with the monkey cam because they just zoomed in on some peoples bums! LOL

EDIt:
OH MY GOSH! Some one zoomed in on a lady's (.)(.)'s!! :shock:

[sarahlynn]

WHAT... ialways miss the good things.. :lol:

i never see monkeys onthere i need to check more often..i keep watchign the bird thing and no birds.

i like the dolphins

[CandiceLeigh]

I can open the monkeys cam, but not the dolphins! :? They're the ones I really wanted to see too. When we go to Sea World I love to feed them!! They seem so smart and they're fun! :D

[sarahlynn]

i want to get to sea world again..i would love to get the kids to disney next year...

[sarahlynn]

ahhh finally i see a flamingo :lol:

[newmami]

Come visit me!! it is high 70 in here!! nice sun and cool breeze!!!

I need to learn about bargain hunting, I SUCK at it!! and I have this thing about used clothes!! :roll: good thing this baby is a GIRL, so I have tons of clothes from Dani

I miss Jenn and Holly too..... and Caiden & Stella :(

Dani threw a fit this morning when I left her at daycare... she cried the whole time, ugh!!! add that to having to come to a job you hate....THANK GOD IT IS FRIDAY!!!

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh, I forgot...Jenn PMed me and said she had company, that's why she hasn't been on much. Duh, and I just saw someone ask about her but I forgot to pass on the info. :oops: Sorry!!

[katie]

There were no dolphins when I tried to watch the dolphin cam :( They're my favorite at Sea World too. I can't wait to go back to Sea World this summer. DH's parents bought us season passes and we went when Abby was 2 months and we'll go again this summer and play in the water park some too. :)

Abby started crying as soon as I passed her off to my grandma when I went to class yesterday. It's only for 2 hours every Tues/Thurs and I can't imagine leaving her all day every day. I'm sorry for you ladies that have to work. :(

My grandma is driving me insane! Every time I come back from class(never more than 2 hours later) she is in a bad mood because Abby fusses for her. She apparently doesn't grasp the concept that babies do more than eat and sleep and gets all upset if Abby doesn't eat for her. She'll try to give her something in her mesh feeder and a sippy cup of BM and Abby hasn't taken it. (She's just not hungry yet!) Plus Abby loves her momma and will fuss a little for anyone else but she takes it so personally and is acting mad at me because of it.

[CandiceLeigh]

Oy, I hate when my grandma does that. "He wouldn't stop fussing." Umm, sometimes baby's are fussy!! Then when he's sick (which he is now) she tells me like a million times, "This baby is sick." Over and over again!! I know grandma, that's why he's on meds!! :roll:

Do ya'll go to the Sea World in San Antonio? I LOVE IT!! :D We're going to try to go this summer! I'm so excited!!

[katie]

My grandma started telling me at 3 months "she's teething" every time we were there.... I know teething is a long process and they start some symptoms early but she just got her first teeth 3 weeks ago. That's a long time to here "she's teething" every week. :roll:

Yeap that's the one we went to! I can't wait to go back. My in-laws moved there last summer. We may move there this summer which would be cool. (Or we'll move to Charlottesville, Va; Williamsburg, Va; DC, Boston, Austin, or Norman, Ok) all we know is that we are moving.

[MarchMommy]

Oh, I forgot...Jenn PMed me and said she had company, that's why she hasn't been on much. Duh, and I just saw someone ask about her but I forgot to pass on the info. :oops: Sorry!!
that was me..thanks for the update on her.

ugh, i have to mop my floor now...

the special olympics are here this weekend and im volunteering to feed them tomorrow with my mom...should be fun!

[without]

MarchMommy I must say you are so cool! Your always doing some thing to give back! I so wish I could have a real life friend like you!

MarchMommy I must say you are so cool! Your always doing some thing to give back! I so wish I could have a real life friend like you!


AW! thanks pam. im a big volunteerer in my community. its just something ive always done! you are very sweet to say that....


im really upset at my girlfriends...one is married, no kids. two are single (there are four of us) two were college friends and one is from highschool, but we were all roommates in college and we are all 4 close. but i feel like they are casting me out because i have a baby. like one of them invited the other two to hang out tonight and they totally left me out. really hurts too.....
i know that things change, but she could have at least invited me. DH would have watched Madison so i could hang out with them. they never return my calls and its like we are just drifting apart. one of the girls is my very best friend (the married one), and shes the one that told me that they were all 3 hanging out tonight..and its like she wanted to hurt me. i know i should just let it go, but it still bothors me.......

First off I second what Pam said, you are too cool :)

My sister is having the same issue with her friends. Only a few are married and none of them have kids and she feels like she has the plague or something.

We moved right before I found I was PG so I don't really know many people here so I don't have that issue. Although I know if I still lived in Daytona I would have the same problem. DH & I only had one couple that we were friends with that were married the rest were single party people. No way I would be able to be at the club until 2am now :wink: Not that I really did then either HAHA

[MarchMommy]

you know, its NOT like i DONT go out with them. my DH watches madison so i CAN go and do things and vice versa. i just feel like they are outcasting me. my best friend of the 4 of us has moved around alot with her DH, and is now settled back here in Charlotte....and i feel like shes rubbing my face in it that SHES the one they are inviting. and they cant use the excuse that they are all single, because she isnt single...they just dont have any kids.

i just feel hurt and betrayed by them. i mean, i NEVER blow them off...i return calls and emails...i really dont think they even know how much it hurts me. when i talked to my best friend (we asked them to meet us for dinner,) and she said they were "thinking of going over there to hang out" i told her "well tell katherine thanks for the invite to hang out" and my best friend goes " you REALLY want me to tell her that" i told her that i didnt care what she did. its like she took a big poop and is rubbing my face in it...

[EvandAl]

I'm so sorry!!

With my sister, she started a book club with all of her friends, they would meet once a month on Wed. night....well after she had Aliyah she asked them if they could move the meet to Saturdays (since she works her nigths are her time with her DD) and maybe only meet every other month and they all Said NO! She was the one who created the group!! So she told them to kiss A$$.

She still talks to them but she said it's not the same.

[EvandAl]

okay I have something I want to complain about! I usually don't whine about DH but he really ticked me off tonight. I have been working really hard on Scrapbooking for John and I want to have as much done as possible to show my Family when we are in FL next week...anyway, I redid his birth pages today and I show them to DH and he was like "this is how you are leaving the pictures? It looks sloppy, I don't like it" I kind of layered them some. I think it looks fine but it just made me made that I had just spent hours on the pages and he thinks they look like crap :evil:

Okay I'm done now HAHA

[MarchMommy]

thanks Alison....i know maybe i just need to get out there and find some mommy friends


i dont think that husbands "GET" scrapbooking. my DH raised his brow at a few of the pages, and i was like WTF?
im sure it looks GREAT....its hard work....

[EvandAl]

I'll have to post some new pics tomorrow, I have gotten like 5 pages done this week :D

[haydensmom]

MM that totally stinks about your friends! All of my college girls live far away or else I'd have the same problem. We don't speak nearly as much as we used to, and it really makes me sad because they all talk to each other. It's not the same situation, but I know how much it can suck! I felt like that a lot, even in college, because I was the only one with a bf/fiance.

Alison, I'm sure your pages look great!!! Sometimes guys just don't get it!! It makes you happy and you're creating such awesome family memories! That's what counts!

[MarchMommy]

it does stink, and im scared to tell them what i think about all this, cause im probably just reading into it too much. but i cant help how i feel. i think im just going to sit on it for a week or so and not answer their calls or anything....this goes for all three of them, and i talk to my best friend everyday!!!!!

[DIVADLX]

MM - about your friend situation... as a person who, while in hawaii was not only the only married person, but the only person in a real relationship and THEN with a child, there isn't really a good excuse or reason for anyone to stop seeing you or to be like that with you. Has she been competitive with you for a long time? Because it sounds like she is jealous of you - your life, your great relationship with your Dh, your marvelous baby - and the only way she can regain any superiority over you is to make you feel like pooh.

And that is not being a good friend.

You deserve better than that. But also, we all do stupid, petty things and are blessed with patient people who wait for us to get our heads out of our asses and forgive us... perhaps just take a break from them for a while. I think someone suggested a mommy group? Honestly, after I had Stella and was surrounded by people who were wonderful, but didn't understand, I sought out mommies. I even answered an ad on craigslist for a mommy group and met two really great mommies who then introduced me to more mommies... it was just what I needed.

Anyway, I am sorry that she treated you like that. You are too wonderful for that.

And as for Alison's DH... that was rude. How dare he demand you redo it. Lets see him make a nice artistic record of your son's early years.

Butthead.

YES, sadly she HAS been like this with me our whole friendship. over things like engagement rings, and cars, and houses....stupid non important stuff. even with GRADES in college she was like this. she always HAS to be better than me at EVERYTHING....and thats exactly what she was doing. she didnt HAVE to tell me that. the more i thought about it last night and this morning, the more i KNEW thats what was going on. i really think that subtly she tries to hurt me.

she says that she lurks here and reads the postings (i never gave the the site, nor any info about the site, i always called it "my friends on APA" so she found it all on her own)....which bothors me. so im sure she will see this..but i dont care. this is a long time coming, and i just need a break from them. they are nice, good girls...we have been friends for a long time, its just there is something running deeper here with the one that i call my best friend. and she KNEW she was going over there last night...she said "oh Kat said something about hanging out tonight over at so and so's place"....what was the point in telling me that? to hurt me? yes...

there is no reason for them to do this...and i dont even think the other two meant to hurt me. it was HER that was trying to hurt me. and she knew what she was doing....

[haydensmom]

I hate it when girls manipulate like that. :roll: I'm sorry you have to go through this, but you are a much bigger person! You have such a wonderful life, family, outlook and at least you realize that! I kind of feel bad that she has to spend her whole life competing with you instead of realizing the great things that she has! Sounds like a "glass is half empty" sort of situation!

This type of stuff makes me wish that all of us lived close because I sometimes feel so much closer to you all!

[MarchMommy]

i know, same here. you guys are like my FRIENDS, that i tell more to than anyone.
thanks for the help ladies...the situation has me pretty bummed. im just going to avoid contact for a while....i know she will know somethings up, but whatever...i just need a break.

girls are so catty.... :?

[haydensmom]

They are! It's poopy and it doesn't get us anywhere!

I went shopping today with my other two mommy friends and there little boys (both Hayden's age). It was a lot of fun.

On another note.... Hayden found his penis tonight. :roll: :lol: :roll:

thats awesome!!!


i volunteered tonight feeding some of the special olymips athletes and what an amazing experience it was!! there were like 80 of them, and i think MOST of them hugged me :shock: it was pretty cool....they were so gracious!

[DIVADLX]

LOL - and the neverending race for the penis begins... such an early age for a lifetime obsession to begin, but what are we to do.

Girls are so different. I mean, Stella isn't totally unfamiliar with her hoo-haw, but she in no way races to it. Its probably as exciting to her as her knee or ankle.

Man, I had a hard customer today. She came in to register and approached my desk and the overwhelming smell of cigarettes was so thick that it was kind of gagging me. It was really gross. I swear, nothing is grosser than a PG woman smoking. Anyway, then her boyfriend comes in and he smells like pot! Sheesh. This poor kid has no chance at all. Oh yeah, and then she put breastfeeding stuff on there. Its kind of like ordering a big mac, a supersized fries and a diet coke.

That is great!!! I used to go volunteer once a month at a homeless shelter, it was a VERY nice shelter and the people there were always so nice.

That really stinks....I had a friend that smoked through her whole pregnancy and I just couldn't understand why she couldn't quit...I used to smoke and I fought very hard to quit before we ever started to think about getting preggo.

[Bells614]

Christi....I'm so sorry about your friends. I've never met a good group of friends here and I moved here 11 years ago, while in high school. It stinks. My DH is my best friend, and sometimes I just really need a girlfriend, but it's never happened. I know a few women, but they are more like aquantances (sp?)

My DH totally doesn't get scrapbooking. He says he understands keeping a book of pics and momentos, but all the decorating???? I just smile and tells him to leave me alone. It's my thing. I had to do one my senior year of high school for my comp class. I still don't get the connection with composition, but it was so cool to have. It totally got me into scrapbooking and now I have everything from my senior year to look back on.

Got a small problem...I always go to my parents on Sunday (DH works). Last weekend DD was sick and she is again or still this weekend. Yesterday I went by there for a minutes and mentioned that I would not be over if she was still sick. They gave me a huge guilt trip and made a big stink of it. My mom is going through chemo and shouldn't be around anyone sick, but she says, "oh my white blood cell count it up for another week!" I need to stay home to get things done and I really don't want to take Amanda out, she needs to stay home. Why can't they just understand that????

I miss you girls now that I'm working and school started again. I don't get enough extra time to get on here. :cry: Sorry so long!

[haydensmom]

We miss you too, Kelly! Don't let your parents pressure you into taking her over there! You know best, because you're mommy! I wouldn't want to go either with my baby sick!

[MarchMommy]

we do miss you kelly!! stay home and spend some time with Amanda!!!!
i didnt know your mom was sick! im sorry to hear that!!

[Bells614]

Thanks girls, glad to know you still remember me :)

I caved. I went ahead and went over there. My mom has developed the same cold that Amanda has. So, I made the most of it and went to the Y to work out. Let them spend a little time with her. We are now home, so we didn't spend the entire day there. So, I'll be busy for the next two days getting stuff around here done...I don't know how full time working moms do it...my hats off to them!

Poor thing, if this cough isn't a little better by tomorrow, I'm calling the doc. She has been sick for over a week....I think it's been two colds back to back.

You gals are awesome! THANKS!!!

[tralynne75]

Kelly, I hope Amanda gets over this cough soon. I hate to hear when littles ones are sick.

Christi, I say it is thier lost. You are a great person. I wish i had a friend like you to hang out with. I lost all my friends with my ex-DH. He was so controlling that I couldn't have friends then now with this DH I have his friends which are all men. My friends are on here. I do have a neighbor and some girils from church but they do not know half of what all of you know. Aren't ya'll the lucky ones? :lol:

Jenn, I seen someone about a month ago smoking and drinking and she looked about 8 months preggy. How sad the women are dooing these things to the babies.

Claudia, Have you figured out which bedding you are getting Christi?

My Dh does not get scrapbooking either. I get out all my pics, books, etc and then Katie needs me so I think ok I am ready when I get another moment but go into the kitchen and he has put it all back up. :roll:

I had to babysit 4 other kids last night. Boy the people who have 5 or more kids has my respect. The whole night someone was fretting someone. And the baby (19 months) kept hitting and pushing Katie down. No matter what Katie tried to play with Emily (the baby) had to h ave it and would about attack Katie to get it. Emily has to be tough because she has 3 older bothers, but she doesn't have to hurt my baby. :(


on a lighter note (I am making a thread to ask about this) Katie has been letting go and standing without falling for about a min at a time. The last few days she has been pushing herself up and standing. For example she has a Leap frog Tad stuff animal, well she will place her hands on his stomach and push herself up to a standing position. And she took a very small step Saturday night while I was babysitting. They have hardwood floors and she had on her sleeper but she got one small step and tried to move her left foot but fell.

you have ME!!! we can hang out ANYTIME...i had such a good time with you three. Dylan is such a good kid. you seem really close with him

i talked to my best friend about it yesterday and was VERY honest with her about alot of things, like being excluded, that she hurt my feelings etc....and she said she wouldnt have hurt me on purpose (duh) and i should talk to the other girls about how i feel, and i probably will.
i responded to your Katie thread...i cant believe shes standing up on her own!! didnt you just have her????

whos watching the Oscars?

[stephiegirl]

Sorry about your friends Christi! One of my friends has no time for me anymore b/c I don't fit into her way of life. This of course is after I was there for her during her divorce and many other issues she has had. The older I get, the more I realize how selfish people are. Focus on the friends who have been good to you!

[tralynne75]

MM, I am glad you talked to your friend. Oh and I am planning on emailing those pics to you. Crazy how fast these babies grow. Katie took 3 steps tonight to get my tea. But I am sure it will be another month before I see it again. At least DH got to see it tonight. BTW has your DH got to see Madi walk yet?

Oscars, I forgot they were on. Who won?

[MarchMommy]

stephie, you are so right. DH and i were talking about that on friday night after all this happened, about how selfish people are. and i dont even think talking to my friend is going to change anything. she will just tell me that "as long as we are there for each other...blah blah blah...." like she always does, and thats not what i want to hear.

DH has seen madi walk. shes walking alot more now. i was in the shower this morning (we have a stand alone see thru shower, you know with no tub) and madi was playing in our bedroom and here comes madison walking into the bathroom. it was sooo cute!!!

[Bells614]

Sorry your friend didn't say what you wanted to hear Christi...it must be very frustrating.

I take Manda to the doctor this afternoon. She sounds like a little monster. Poor thing. I called to see if there was something I can be giving her and the nurse said, "Oh no! With those symptoms and as long as this has been going on, we NEED to see her." At least there won't be any shots.

She is playing on the floor with all her toys right now. I feel so bad for her :cry:

[newmami]

The only bad thing about weekends is that I don't have time to check APA and lots of things happen here!!

Christi, about your friends, it is their loss. I had 2 friends married with kids, the rest of us (4) were single, and we managed to get together with the married ones... if they are your friends, you will make the time to do kid friendly stuff with your FRIENDS!!
I also wish we lived closer (all of us), we would have a mean mommy group, it would be wonderful!!!

Ev, sorry about DH's comment, he didn't had to be nasty!! specially since he is clueless about scrapbooking!! Dh is not crafty, so everything I do (and I am not that creative) looks wonderful in his eyes

Kelly, sorry about your mom and Manda being sick!! hope she feels better soon, and hope your mom is a little more understanding... HUGS

YAY KATIE for standing up!! soon you will be chasing her Tracy!!

Moms who smoke while PG.... I have no words, cannot believe you will do that to your baby... ** sigh **

So we went out for lunch Saturday and Dani was eating caesar salad like it was applesauce!!! it was too cute!!!
And she cried this morning again when I arrived to the daycare... I don't understand what is going on, the lady is so caring and so much fun!! as her DD is there, she gets involved and do TONS of things with them. I cried as bad as Dani when I left the daycare... GOD I HATE MY LIFE SOMETIMES!!! I was already having a hard time getting into the coming to work mentality... I wish DH was a little more understanding and would be willing to get a second job... but I know it is unfair for me to ask him to work all day so I can be home... I WANT MY MOMMY HERE!!! :cry:

This is the bedset I am getting, I LOVE IT!!! and it goes well with a natural crib. http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/cci/cci2053094.html
We will get the crib soon!! I am having a shower at work sometime this week, we are waiting on what we get before we buy stuff. For now, I have some shelves for the closet, so I have TONS of room for Christi and Dani's clothes, and I would go shopping for homecoming outfit & all the extras one of this weekends.

Hope everybody has a good week... I am playing hookie on Friday, and spend the day with Danielle!!! I NEED IT!!!

[MarchMommy]

oo claudia that bedding is awesome!!!! i love it.
im sorry that dani is having a hard time at daycare. i hope that the adjustment goes ok


you are all right about my friends...they need to respect my life, as i respect theirs. i mean, im always listening about their dates, hookups, trips etc...and they could care less about my life....thats unfair.

Kelly i hope amanda feels better soon!!

[haydensmom]

Claudia, the bedding is really sweet!! BTW, did you notice that your ticker for Dani says she's three months old?? :lol: I looked at that and I was like, what?

MM, good luck on round number 2!

Yay for Katie standing! And for Madi walking into the bathroom. So exciting seeing these kiddos grow up! :wink:

[tralynne75]

I love that bedding. Katie had an outfit that chick-a-dee on it so I call her my chick a dee when she wears it. LOL!!!

Kelly, let us know how the dr appt gpes. I hope they give her something that will cure her cold quick.

Katie is very tired today. ??????? She was in bed for 13 hrs, she slept for about 10 hrs, woke up at 10 and now wants to go back to sleep (its 11 here) She is not eating more like a growth spurt and not acting sick.

[newmami]

I corrected the ticker... THANK YOU!!! :oops:

Tracy, I hope Katie is just having a lazy day... Dani has those as well!!! I just let her sleep as much as she wants... heck I have lazy days too!!

The daycare called, my heart stops when I see the phone on the caller ID!! Dani is doing well, she went out to play with the other girls, ate her breakfast (she is a yogurt maniac, like me) and was happy eating lunch... phew I can breath again!!!

Jess, I also get excited to hear about babies' milestones!! specially the important ones, like rolling over, sitting down, walking!!

So I have managed to spend all morning here instead of working... HA HA HA!!!! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!!!
I will make it up after lunch :twisted:

[Bells614]

I love that bedding Claudia!!! I'm sure you've said before, but are the girls sharing a room?

Amanda just pulled up, all the way to her feet. She's been doing the knees for a couple weeks, but now she is all the way up! WOO HOO!!!

[haydensmom]

Go Amanda! She'll be chasing you around soon! :lol:

[newmami]

YAY Amanda for pushing up!! yup in no time she will be crawling everywhere!!!

Dani and Christi are sharing a room. I hope Christi is a good sleeper, otherwise she will stay in our room as long as possible. I love the idea of both of them sleeping in the same room, I did the same with my sisters and it is so much fun!!!

[newmami]

:( where is everybody today????????????????

[without]

I am here I just don't feel as if I have any thing great to say. LOL

[CandiceLeigh]

I'm here! :D I've been a verrrrry lazy poster lately. I read everything, but then I don't reply. :? I should start replying more.

It's such a pretty day today, feels like spring! I wish I could be outside with my 2 Chris' instead of inside "working." I haven't wanted to do any work today...blah, I want to go home!! Is it Friday yet?

Speaking of home, I really need to clean mine. Don't feel like doing that either...I need some motivation!! I hate feeling so lazy!! If I was at home right now, I really think I would be napping. :roll:

Chris, poor little guy, still has diarrhea. :( I feel so bad for him, but at least his rash isn't so bad anymore. I can't wait for him to be through with this antibiotic so that the poops will stop! Last night, he got it all over our brand new sheets!! :yuck: He was playing on our bed and I felt something wet, it just flew out the side of his diaper! I guess his diaper was a little loose around the leg, but man, it was bad! I hope it doesn't stain. DH put it to soak last night, now I just have to remember to Spray & Wash it.

He was playing with his brand new Weebles when it happened. He loves balls, so I got him some Weebles 'cause they look like little balls but with faces and stuff! :lol: They're really cute, and DH kept singing, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." I think well have to get Chris some more when he turns 1. Which just so happens to be right around the corner! :shock: Where does the time go? It's almost time to start planning his 1st Birthday! I'm both excited and sad about it. It's kinda bittersweet, ya know?

[stephiegirl]

Poor Chris! Diarrea is the worst!

Ugh! Will is sooo cranky today! And we haven't even gotten into his daily "cranky time" It is going to be a long couple of hours until DH gets home!

[Bells614]

Aw, poor Chris. I feel for him! What are webbles?

Amanda's doctor's appointment went okay. She has an upper respritory infection and a touch of broncitis. We are watching her really close for the next few days. If her cough doesn't get any better by Thursday we will do a chest x-ray. For now, Tylenol and Benadryl will be our friends.

Did anyone watch the oscars? It was one of the best years I have ever seen! Ellen is the best hostess!!!

We were at an Oscar party and the hostess had hired a babysitter to keep an eye on the little ones which was awesome!!! I think I will do that next time I have a party... once I meet a nice girl like the one who was at the party.

Also, we went and looked at one of those new housing developments - called Kentara, and walked the houses on the inside... then the lady gave us a price sheet... minimum $503,000. :shock: I mean, this was what i would call a family house, not a super fancy (a little fancy, but not super) not huge, not a mansion. Makes me wonder who are these people? they are going to have about 25 houses in this complex, and I just have to wonder what jobs these people have that they can afford a half of a million dollar houses?

It was beautiful though. sigh.

[MarchMommy]

i LOVE ellen degeneres! she is FAB-U-LOUS. i tivoed the Oscars...i loved seeing Jennifer Hudson win!!! shes awesome.

i just got done working for the night...im going to bed. im TIRED for some reason tonight...way more than usual!

[DIVADLX]

oh REALLY mm.... are you suspicious of something?

[without]

I need to vent..............
Morgan keeps waking up at 4!!!! Ahhhhh!! This is driving me nuts. OK vent over


I have a worry.....
Morgan has alway been a skinny littl thing but I noticed last night that her belly sticks way out! :shock: I mean she looks like she is about 9 months prego. Is it normal for babies to have this beer gut looking thing. Do you think I am feeding her to much?

[newmami]

I almost watched all the Oscars, but I get bored easily. I like Ellen too, she is hysterical!!!

:shock: at the house prices Jenn!!! are they insane???? Prices here in FL are also high compared to the median income, and houses are mostly CRAP!!! Now people are complaining because they had an increase in Insurance (b/c of the hurricanes) and property taxes, and there is a proposal to increase sales tax and other taxes even for people who rent!!! DH and I are upset, so he said if this happens, he will consider moving out of FL! (keeping my fingers crossed)

We have a friend who is a realtor in CA... the median house is about $500k, median annual income about $60k, and YES people buy this houses!! how?? interest only mortgages, and then after a year they cash a Home equity line, as the equity on the house goes up (even though they have paid ZERO on the principal!!)

Pam, Dani also has a beer gut!!! specially after she is done eating :P . She is not fat, because when she is lying down her tummy is flat. I think it is still part of the baby fat and their bodies growing, so don't worry about it!! as long as Miss M is eating healthy and getting some exercise, she is fine!!

Poor Amanda with bronchitis :( I hope the medication does the trick and it goes away!! babies sick make me want to cry!!

[sarahlynn]

Poor little Chris..lucea just got over her antibiotics and her little butt was so bad..we had many blow outs for a week...and the rash made her cry when we changed her..poor kids..why do they haev to get so sick

Cy was the same way as morgan and still is..he had this terribly skinny body and this protrudeing abdomen..pretty funny lookin..but nothing wrong with him. :wink:

didnt watch the oscars..honestly i dont watch much tv so i wouldnt know a single actor/actress nayways..i watch food network..was anyone from there on..BAM BAM ...THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS!

otherwise..darn it its my weekend to work..i hate working on my weekends..crapola i should just quit..but i know its a good place to haev my food in the door when i finish school..crap crap..cold stone is hireing a cake decorator maybe i should quit work and go make cakes part time..

i have to take pics of luceas room i have been finally putting things up on the walls..poor girl..

[Bean]

I used to live in one of the fastest growing areas of California. When we first moved there the average house was about $150K. When I moved, it was about $350K. Insane. TRAILOR HOMES were going for well over $100,000.

[newmami]

Sarah, I could never be a cake decorator, I would be eating them!!!!
I love Iron Chef too......... I watch it and we Tivo Desperate Housewives!!!

Candice, how is Chris feeling?? how is the rash going? poor thing :( diaper rash is the WORST!!!

There is this girl at work who thinks I am her best friend, and keeps calling me to tell me her sad story (her life honestly sucks) and waste my time... sometimes I hate myself for being so understanding... I get tired of hearing people complain, vent and boo hoo boo hoo....... Men! this PG hormones are turning me into a b*tch!!!! (not that I needed help, HE HE HE!!)

[Bells614]

Crap, Crap, Crap. DH hurt his back the other day, tried to work through it yesterday and today could hardly move. So he took the day off and went to the doctor...no work for a few days. He hurt some joint. CRAP! He doesn't get sick days, so today and tomorrow are no pay days. CRAP!!!!! Glad I'm working now and the tax return will be here soon.

Man, when it rains, it pours...sick baby, sick and hurt DH, I'm not feeling peachy myself, our computer's mother board went last week, so I'm on the crappy lap top...I have so much more but I'll stop there. At least I have help with Manda and can get my school work done.

[without]

Oh, Man! I am so sorry I hope your DH gets better soon and your tax return is speedy!

[DIVADLX]

All of the house prices aren't that high, but I was just shocked because this is NOT an affluent or fancy neighborhood, and the houses were really nice, and brand spankin' new, but the lots were small, and they were close together and meant for families - not executives. I think that's where I go huh? What normal family can afford that?

I loved Iron Chef - but only the original one with the dubs. I don't like the American one. I actually have a friend who was the dubbed voice of the fortune teller woman judge.

Ok, everyone feel better now! Sheesh!

[sarahlynn]

ok i am the exact oposite i love american one..

i was watching the original iron chef and they said the SECRET INGREDIENT IS " PIGLETS" and i bout lost it and had to never watch it again.. :yuck:


i need to go pump..please someone make me do it

[newmami]

GO PUMP SARAH!!!

Kelly, sorry about your DH's back!!! hope he can take it easy and recovers, DH had that happened couple of times, and he is pretty much stuck at home!! ** GET WELL WISHES FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY **

Funny that you get grossed out after something happens on TV. I used to be able to eat calamari, until I saw in fear factor this room where they had rotten squid the contestants had to swin in :yuck: now just hearing the word squid or calamari make me want to puke!!!

[sarahlynn]

do smelly people know they smell?

[CandiceLeigh]

I always wondered this as well, but when I've smelled (yes, it has happened :oops: ) I could smell me and I ran to take a shower.

[newmami]

No, they are used to smelling like that, so it is normal for them

It is like trying to tell someone stupid that he/she is stupid... useless!!!

[haydensmom]

No, they are used to smelling like that, so it is normal for them

It is like trying to tell someone stupid that he/she is stupid... useless!!!

:lol: :lol:

[Bells614]

HA!!!!

I love it! I know when I stink and it's usually when I get home from working out, or I forgot deodorant...which rarely happens :wink:

I hate rude people!!!! My teacher this evening had to take over for another teacher, it's the same class. So there were 40+ in this classroom and these people were soooo rude. Talking during his lecture and discussion, throwing his handouts on the floor, etc. It was ridiculous. I would never expect that in a college class, let alone graduate school!!!!

Man, I need to go to bed, it's been a rotten day. I promise not to complain tomorrow.

Thanks for all the well wishes for my family. I truely appreciate it!!!!

[newmami]

I hate rude people as well Amanda, specially in school

I had an incident yesterday that reminded me of the Costco post from Jenn. At lunch we were talking about car accidents and this lady said that she witnessed a bad one where a teenager was killed, and then said that the one who survived got all messed up after the accident, because he was into tatoos, piercing, etc... I GOT SO MAD!!! so I said in a very rude tone "that has nothing to do with it and it doesn't make you a messed up person"..... WTF????? :evil: I should not be surprised considering this is not the first time I hear intolerant and ignorant comments coming out of her stupid mouth!!

So I thought one of my coworkers was just sloppy and distracted about work, but I am starting to believe she is truly STUPID!! she asks me the dumbest questions... I AM TIRED OF HER!!

[sarahlynn]

LUCEA TOOK 4 STEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


well thats what i was thinking..once in awhile if i forget deoderant i know i smell and fix the problem..well this man/woman i still dont know what it is works next door and she/he SMELLS yucky..i went into the bathroom after her/him and it was retchid..how can ya not know ya smell..sorry i am usualy not a mean spirited person but honestly people..GOOOD LOD!

ok so how the heck do mcdonalds employees sleep at night after the forget my FRICKIN EGG on my mcmuffin..it aint that hard to get right people..egg, sausage, cheese, mcmuffin :?

[CandiceLeigh]

Yay for Lucea! That's awesome!! :D We are still not mobile...come on Chris, get with it!

Question, how come you can't tell if it's a man or a woman? :lol: Sorry that he/she is leaving stinky trails. That's the worst!

PAM, please explain your siggy to me! :lol: :lol: Who the heck is that? Speaking of siggy's, I need to update my picture. I just love that one sooo much!! :wink:

[newmami]

WAY TO GO LUCEA!!!!

Sarah, when we are not sure if it is a man or woman, we just call them FISH.... he he he!!! and I agree on the bad smell, once in Italy we were walking and I swear I could smell this people who were 1 block far from us!! the smell was so bad when they walk by us, I got a headache!!! :yuck:

Candice, that dude on Pam's siggy is from Disney Channel.... whatshisface and the spirits is the name of the show

[sarahlynn]

that siggy creaps me out...he looks way to happy with those puppets/muppets..


Well the HE/SHE looks kinda likea she but sorta like a he...i have a hunch its a she but maybe a he with some hormones everyday.. :shock:


its snowy and crappy out today...i want a storm so i cna go home.

[newmami]

Sarah, I hope you get your snow storm so you can go home!!!

That has to be the only advantage I see on living up north!!! no snow storm days in FL!!

[sarahlynn]

oh man i realized just now that tomarow is the 1st so we go to get luceas ears rechecked...i decided that i am standing my ground..NO MORE antibiotics AT ALL! she had her 4th dose of them in 2 months and i have had it..either they can refer me to the ENT that cy went to for tubes or find soemthing that will help her..the dumb meds made her butt so sore, she ran through all her clothes all the time..she hurt when we changed her, when she sat down, crawled, her poor bottom was so raw..I love her pediatrician but honestly we need to do soemthing if her ears are filled with fluid not just put her on meds.
OK DONE VENTING! THANK YOU THANK YOU for listening

sooooooooooooooo

what else is going on..???????

no snow storm here yet..it stopped snowing all together and the roads are just yucky..i guess its a full day of work for me..and i have a meeting tonight..i am takinglucea with me so i have an excuse to get out early..HA !

[newmami]

I don't blame you for saying no more medication!!! babies can become immune to them after taking them for a long time, and why risk poor Lucea with a bad rash in her bottom???
I hope the ENT has a better answer for you!!

So they organized this babyshower for me at work, but I have NO CLUE when it is!! I have my suspicions it is this Friday, but I already decided to call in sick and stay with Danielle.... should I change plans or let them deal with the disappointment???

I got a little tired of not doing anything for ME TIME, so I want to make growth charts for Dani & Christi... the ones you mark every time you measure them. I found couple of ideas on the internet (yeah I am working hard today) and I cannot wait to get all I need to make them!!

[Bells614]

I don't blame you with the antibiotics sarah...my mom is giving me a hard time because Manda's doc and I decided not to do antibiotics with this cold she has, unless it is really necessary. Stand your ground!!!

Claudia, the growth charts sound sooo cool! I definately want to see pics when you get them done. Is the shower supposed to be a surprise? Did I miss that in the post?

[sarahlynn]

oh a baby shower sounds fun...ask someone when it is..maybe they will disclose the info to you...

yeah i have had enough with meds..

[newmami]

Yes it is supposed to be a surprise, but somehow the organizer included me on the email... DUH!!! I saw they cancelled it, and when the new email came, I deleted it so it would be a surprise......

I will take pictures of the charts once I am done!! they are not going to be fancy, I am not THAT crafty, but I will feel good about making them!!

[sarahlynn]

i think charts are a great idea...

[CandiceLeigh]

I feel ya on the meds Sarah. :? Chris finally adjusted to them, but a week of diarrhea was torture for him. And me! :cry: We go back to the dr on Friday for a follow-up. If his ears haven't improved, we gotta talk tubes. If that will cure his ears and keep his booty safe, I'm all for it!

Claudia, they didn't ask you 1st to make sure you weren't going to be busy? Is it supposed to be a surprise party? I guess that's nice, but at the same time, what if you had a dr's appointment or something & then they plan everything for nothing?

Today is the end of the month, so I need to get all my work inputted today...yet here I am...on APA :mrgreen: Bad Candice, get to work! Tell me to get to work!! I have 2 hours to finish everything, can she do it? Like how I talked about myself in the 3rd person there? :lol: Ok, gotta go!!

[newmami]

Me busy at work?? That hasn't happened for the last... hmmmm 6 months!!!

Whatever, I am sorry if I ruin their party, I am taking off Friday, I am tired of coming to the office to do nothing, while laundry is piling in my house

Candice, I hope Chris' ears are clear, and you don't have to worry about tubes

[DIVADLX]

Tomorrow is my interview with the Seattle Opera! I hope it goes well!

Poor Lucea! I don't know how I missed it but I didn't know that her ears were giving her grief! Poor thing...

I have to work tonight... :cry:

[Bells614]

I'm with you Jen, 1am is the start of my "week"...I don't want to leave my sickies :cry: :cry:

[sarahlynn]

I feel ya on the meds Sarah. Chris finally adjusted to them, but a week of diarrhea was torture for him. And me! We go back to the dr on Friday for a follow-up. If his ears haven't improved, we gotta talk tubes. If that will cure his ears and keep his booty safe, I'm all for it!

same situation here ... ! Tubes are better than ears full of fluid..

[CandiceLeigh]

Eek Jenn, good luck!! :D What all would you exactly do? Are you a singer or an actress or both? I should probably know this... :oops:

So, I did not finish my work on time & am now staying late at work. I haven't worked late since before Chris was born! :shock: And yet here I am, on APA, still not working...G2G!!

[Heidi]

Best of Luck with your interview.

I try my best to keep up with this thread and it just escapes me. But I do read the title and thing, yes, you might be crazy.

[haydensmom]

Good LUCK Jenn!!

Baby showers! How exciting!!! :D

Dh's best friend is having a baby (well his wife) - they are having a girl!! I bought an outfit for her today! It's so exciting buying girl stuff. This makes my baby fever NO better! :lol:

[without]

PAM, please explain your siggy to me! Who the heck is that? Speaking of siggy's, I need to update my picture. I just love that one sooo much!!


Well.... Morgan calls him Dada but he is Johnny and the Sprites off the Dissney Channel. LOL Some times you just need a funny photo in your siggy! LOL

[newmami]

GOOD LUCK WITH THE INTERVIEW JENN!!! I HOPE YOU GET THE JOB!!

Well, I figured out that the baby shower is tomorrow, and honestly I don't care if I am not here!! this place has me completely FED UP, and I don't care anymore about what happens here!! I am just counting the days until I go on maternity leave, and then I will look for another job, I am done feeling like crap at work, being ignored and treated like I don't exist!! I am better than this and they will be sorry they didn't appreciated me while I was here... the BEST is that they will be stuck with 2 stupid assistants who are clueless about what they are doing!!

I never thought I would be so disappointed with a workplace and with Management, it is PATHETIC!!!

Candice, sorry you had to work late... hey send me some of your work, I can help!!!

Whoever came up with ear infections for babies NEEDS to be shot!!!

[haydensmom]

GUESS WHAT!?!?!??! Dh and I are going to start trying in a month! We've decided we would rather have a baby who is a little bit older in the summer than a brand new one! I think we may even start not preventing in March and maybe trying in April. I'm so stoked! MM we could be preggers together!

[newmami]

Woo hoo Jess!! I am not sure how bad summers are in MD, but here in FL it would be MISERABLE to spend the third trimester on a 100F 100% humidity weather!!!

[haydensmom]

Woo hoo Jess!! I am not sure how bad summers are in MD, but here in FL it would be MISERABLE to spend the third trimester on a 100F 100% humidity weather!!!

They aren't quite that hot, but not too far from it! I was pregnant with Hayden in the summer and it wasn't horrible, but I stayed indoors a lot!

[sarahlynn]

OMG OMG JESS i am so thrilled for you...i will be sending you lots and lots of baby vibes..


I missed the post Jenn but GOOD LUCK!!!!

[DIVADLX]

Yaaaaay Jess (she says with just a liiiiittle bit of jealousy) :D

Claudia - well you gotta do what you gotta do. I hope they didn't all make pot luck or something.... I would be sooo disappointed if I was the organizer... BUT I also would have made sure you were going to be there.

I can't wait! i am giving my friend (who's having the homebirth) a baby shower in April. That's the one I am devising the horribly decadent Ice Cream Cheesecake cake for... which I have figured out a way to add brownie to.

[newmami]

Jenn, you are making me hungry with your brownie icrecream cheesecake!!!!!
Let us know how the interview goes

I don't think the shower would be a potluck, last time it was just around 4, we had some sodas and chips... I really appreciate that they are doing this for me, but as you said, it would have been nice to be asked if I was available... what if I had a Dr's appointment???

[MarchMommy]

sorry ive missed all the chat ladies....there has been ALOT going on 'round here these days....

im going to catch up soon, i PROMISE!!

[without]

Good luck Jess!

[MarchMommy]

GUESS WHAT!?!?!??! Dh and I are going to start trying in a month! We've decided we would rather have a baby who is a little bit older in the summer than a brand new one! I think we may even start not preventing in March and maybe trying in April. I'm so stoked! MM we could be preggers together!
THIS IS GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT!!!!!!!!! yay.......im so excited for you
(and for me)

[DIVADLX]

Here I go again, selfishly hoping it takes you ladies a couple of months to get PG so that IIII can join you too. :)

I am pill pack 2 of three... after three is done, I am off the pill again! Although my doc said she wanted to see how things were going and determine at the end of the month whether she wants me to be on the Wellbutrin for 3, 4 or 6 months. 3 months would be end of April, 4 end of May, but 6 would be end of July! Yikes! That's a long time.

MM - sometimes i miss so much that I just jump in on the new page...

[stephiegirl]

I soooo want another baby. It makes me sad to know that it will probably be impossible to get pregnant. The thought of another 2 years of intertility exhausts me!

Just pray it happens easier this time around!

[CandiceLeigh]

Ah Jess, that is awesome!! :storkboy: :storkgirl: So, so exciting!!

Jenn, I feel like I've been trying forever & it's only been 2 months, really 1 1/2months! The way we're going though, I might not get PG till end of April-beginning of May. I would looooooove to be PG with you!! :mrgreen: That would be AWESOME!!

On a jealous note, I accidently found out last night that my SIL is PG and, no, they weren't trying. :roll: I saw the empty box & asked 'cause she had told me they had a pregnancy scare a few months back. On the other hand, I'm really excited for her and I hope it's a girl! (she has 2 boys) She just found out yesterday and wasn't planning on telling anyone because she has a history of miscarriages (2) so I hope this baby sticks for her!

Wah, I want a big PG belly!! :( Enough, whining... :mrgreen: I get to leave work early today because we have Chris' follow-up appoinment today. We're going to find out if he needs tubes or not! Hope I don't cry, I've been such a cry baby lately. :roll:

[without]

Stephanie,
Don't give up hope!!! It could happen over night! Some times the 2nd one comes much quicker. I am praying that it happens for you that way!

[newmami]

Hope Chris doesn't need tubes Candice, please keep us posted!!!

Christi, don't worry about catching up, just jump here with a post... I know Random has been "challenging" lately.... :?

Stephie, DON'T GIVE UP!!! my Dr said it is not uncommon for people who had infertility problems (IVF included) to get PG the "natural" way (for lack of a better term. My IF problems were not that bad, but I NEVER ovulated on my own!!! I went 2 months without birth control and nothing happened, so we thought I was not ovulating and never took any other precautions!!
I hope with all my heart the same thing happens to you, that pregnancy somewhat fixed you, and you are able to have another baby soon!!

[Bells614]

All you girls TTC are giving me Baby Fever...But we just can't right now. I'm fairly certain DH wouldn't mind, but for my sanity, it just can't happen right now.

I've got a crawler!!!!!! Amanda took her first strides this morning...while I was at work :cry: But, she didn't do it again until I got home. The one thing worth crawling for is the TV remote. She really is a mini me of DH!

Work sucked rocks...I'm amazed at the laziness of some of these nurses...who am I kidding, MOST of these nurses! I try to treat them well, they are the reason I'm getting a paycheck, but at this rate, we will not be getting much business because these nurses stink!

Went to Sam's Club when I got off work (to buy formula) and they had Carter's Onesie/Dress Combo things for $5.47! I bought four of them!! They are so cute and SOOOOO cheap!

[sarahlynn]

I get to leave work early today because we have Chris' follow-up appoinment today. We're going to find out if he needs tubes or not! Hope I don't cry, I've been such a cry baby lately.

on this note..i hope Chris appt goes well and he is in the clear

Luceas went crappy..ears are still filled with fluid..so the doc said we have one last attempt to clear them up..a shot everyday for three days of a heacy antibiotic..she said its our last attempt to try avoid surgery.. :( gal darn it...so i held lucea tight and they stuck her.. :cry: mama cried..lucea cried..DH has to take her in the morn for the next one and i have to take her again saterday..i am just so sad..i feel like i am doing something wrong with my kids being sick..cy with his tubes, tonisils and adenoids oout and now poor lucea faceing possible tubes..i feel rotten..

but lucea was a trooper she cried and than the nurse gave her a sucker and she gave her a half a$$ smile..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OH LADIES I AM SO SO SO SO HAPPY FOR ALL THE TTC'ers...its gonna be so cool to see all of you preggo again..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMG i love johnny depp.

[without]

OMG i love johnny depp.


Yep as soon as my Mr. Depp says its OK we are going to start TTC! :lol:

[haydensmom]

I love Johnny Depp, too! Woot!

So I went to my weigh in and I'm down 3.2 pounds this week. I thought I had gained! I'm so excited! I guess dh being away was a good thing after all!!! :D

[newmami]

Sarah, sorry about Lucea and the shots!! I also cry every time Dani gets poked... SUCKS!!!
You know you are not doing anything wrong with your kids, right? sometimes our bodies don't work correctly and they need to be fixed, it is NOT YOUR FAULT!!!

YAY Manda for crawling!!! Kelly, what is it that you do? are you a nurse as well?? I hear you on the lazy people, I work with mentally lazy people..> UGH!!!

[sarahlynn]

OMG i love johnny depp.


Yep as soon as my Mr. Depp says its OK we are going to start TTC! :lol:


OH NO NO my GIRL~ he is mine and we will be TTC anyday now when he comes home..if he remembers where we live..he hasnt been back in well forever.

[DIVADLX]

Pam I was so confused at first... I was like... who would Pam TTC with right now??? then I laughed out loud when I realized you and MY BOYFRIEND were thinking about TTCing... whatever! hands off lady!

I hope little Chris and little Lucea get better! Darn it Sarah - breastfeeding is supposed to cure all those ear issues! Does she have really small Eustachian tubes? I did and that's why fluid wouldn't drain well from my ears and I ended up with tubes in them.

Yay Amanda! Crawling away!

[without]

I will fight you all for him! :twisted:

He is mine! :lol:

[BBKCD]

OMG i love johnny depp.


Yep as soon as my Mr. Depp says its OK we are going to start TTC! :lol:

LMAO...

[stephiegirl]

Thanks Pam and New Mami for your kind words!

Just watched the Departed last night. Can't believe it took me so long to see it, especially since it took place in my neighborhood! They filmed right up the street.

Anyway... Had a dream last night that I was married to Leonardo DiCaprio. Let's just say it wasn't a PG dream! :oops:

[newmami]

I cannot believe you ladies are fighting over Johnny Deep, I think he smells!!! :lol:
If he comes to my house, I am so getting him with the lyzol, and then I will kick him out!!!

[sarahlynn]

Does she have really small Eustachian tubes? I did and that's why fluid wouldn't drain well from my ears and I ended up with tubes in them.

YES! when he doc was looking in her ears she said OH MY she has tiny tiny ears and tubes...she had to cleana bunch of wax out because it sticks in here..she said that to coudl be from the small ears..so i am guessing tubes are in the future..which honestly is fine wiht me..i just want to get it over with..cy had to suffer for so many years before we got his done..

i hate shots..and right about two seconds before the nurse gave her the shot she says "I hate these they sting" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[CandiceLeigh]

I will fight you all for him! :twisted:

He is mine! :lol:

I can picture you all with swords, dancing around each other!! :lol: :lol:

YAY for Amanda!! Crawling is awesome, and so fun! Until they start getting into everything imaginable...

Sarah, that breaks my heart that Lucea has to get those shots. :cry: Poor baby and poor momma. I would have been a wreck, I'm sure.

That's awesome about the weight loss Jess! Go you!! :mrgreen:

Stephie, I hope you get an unexpected surprise very soon! :storkgirl: :storkboy:

Ho hum, I wanna go home...I need to post some new pics of Chris. I miss my little pops when I'm at work. :( He's been doing the funniest thing lately. He holds his little arm straight out in front of him with the index and middle fingers pointed out. :lol: It kinda looks like that thing Hitler used to do! :shock: My little Mexicano boy, doing Hitler signs... :lol: I will try to get a picture to show you all. It's really funny.

[without]

Anyway... Had a dream last night that I was married to Leonardo DiCaprio. Let's just say it wasn't a PG dream!

Ummm.... I love those dreams! :oops: LOL

Claudia! Saying any thing bad about Mr. Depp is blasphemy! LOL

I am going to teach Morgan to answer the "Who is your daddy" buy saying "Jack Sparrow"! LOL

[newmami]

All I am saying is I don't understand why women find him so cute... same with Tom Cruise :yuck: or DiCarpio for that matter!! so you can have my share of Stinky Deep!!

I am leaving work early too.... in 30 min I am outta here!! I have nothing to do and need to go to the supermarket... priorities!!!

So I am feeling guilty about not coming to work tomorrow after they organized the shower..... I think I will suck it up and come to work, and play hookie on Monday!!! I would still have a LONG weekend!!

Lord, I SUCK!!! :oops:

[sarahlynn]

OH my Chris the next hispanic Hitler...i can see his followers now..a bunch of carrot and squash stained faces...gaa gaain and goo goooin behind him. :shock:

THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO TO THEM DARN IT

[Bells614]

YAY Manda for crawling!!! Kelly, what is it that you do? are you a nurse as well?? I hear you on the lazy people, I work with mentally lazy people..> UGH!!!

I work for a healthcare staffing company, as a staffing coordinator. I basically staff nurses in hospitals nationwide at all hours of the night (I generally take care of 1st shift). Some nurses are hard working and will do anything for you and a shift, but there are a large number of lazy, crappy nurses. Makes me think twice of going to the hospital for anything.

[haydensmom]

WHOA!

I just looked in random and I think my brain has been a little fried. I don't know how the mods do it every day! :shock:

*scrambles off to pick up pieces*






"Marbles, oh marbles....................................... WOOHOO found ONE!"

:roll: :lol:

[newmami]

I feel for our poor mods as well...... as I always say, if I wanted to babysit, I would work on a daycare, right??
Christi and all the other mods, you are always welcome here to complain!!

So... I am at work!! I felt like a smashed roach for not caring about the baby shower... I hate this place with passion, the Job part, but I thought it was pretty low from me to do the "I don't care" to the person who organized the shower.... so I will go to my Dr's appointment at 11, eat lunch with DH, come back and pig on cake!!!

Meatloaf, spinach and mashed potatoes sounds DELICIOUS!!! hope your dinner was awesome!!

So Miss Danielle is playing Mami really well, when I drop her at daycare (still on the temporary one) she cries and makes a whole scene, the moment I am gone, she is a happy camper, playing, running, dancing, eating, chasing the other girls and enjoying playing with chalk... hmmm!!!! :wink:

[CandiceLeigh]

OH my Chris the next hispanic Hitler...i can see his followers now..a bunch of carrot and squash stained faces...gaa gaain and goo goooin behind him. :shock:

Oh my Christi, Random is a wreck!! :shock: Who's sending you hate mail? (sorry, I'm nosy) you don't have to answer that! (unless you want to :lol: ) I can't believe the beating Jai took. That pissed me off!

Jai, are you there? I LOVE YOU!!!! :mrgreen:

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!! Any plans for this weekend? I'm cleaning my house :(

I can't believe all the stuff Jai went through either. I sent her a pm. I'm sure the other mods have it no easier though. I love all you ladies and you can vent to me any time you like! You're doing your job and doing it well! It's sad, but sometimes people don't know how to let go.

[newmami]

It also irked me that they picked on Jai and Heather (momofone).... GRRR!!!

[Bean]

Hey MM, forward me the PMs and I'll take care of them for you. :wink: :lol:

Christi, Im sorry youre having to deal with Hate PMs. Its all so childish.

Thank you to all of you for careing. I guess it can get rough "out there" but I never realized HOW rough until last night. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

the weather here this morning is HORRIBLE>.windy snowy stormy

and i am at work..BLAH

i have to work all weekend BLAH

lucea has to have another shot tomarow BLAH

DH said oh she does fine when you arent htere BLAH BLAH

DS had a fit because he said his leg was broken and i had to drop him off at school bawling this morning BLAH

i really hope his leg wasnt broken :shock:

[DIVADLX]

I can't think about how Johnnie Depp smells... I know that I would probably gag, actually, because I have read that he is a pretty heavy smoker... but I just can't think about that because, well, he is SOOOOOO hot!

Not as hot as Antonio Banderas... sigh... but hot nonetheless.

I cannot help but recognize Tom Cruise's handsomeness, but I no longer think he is hot. I guess its the whole "brainwashing a 25 year old girl" thing...

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/antonio-banderas.jpg

*SIGH*

Anyway, this is what I think of the immature morons that populate the Random section with crap and drama and bad things:

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/troll.jpg

I think the stuff that irritates me the most, aside from the cruelty, are the dumb posts where people call this place a popularity contest. It drives me crazy.

Claudia - QUIT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!! You are SO miserable. Nothing about your financial situation can be as bad as the misery that you are in every day. Yeah, things might not be as good as they are now, but isn't your sanity more important? Its not like after your maternity leave you couldn't get another job.

Mrs. Federline... how dare you make me spew water through my nose with that image of a latin Hitler. And then (was it Jess?) who invoked the image of scores of babies in diapers following him. Especially with that goofy grin of his!

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh Sarah, I'm sorry your day has been so blah. I hope Cy's leg was not broken!

Tubes update: Chris still has some fluid in both of his ears, but they look considerably better than they did 10 days ago, so we're going to prolong the antibiotic for another 10 days. If at the end of 10 days he's all better, no runny nose, no congestion, than we're good to go. If he's not all better, back to the dr we shall go. He said it's good that the antibiotic is working, so maybe we can get the ears cleared without the tubes. Crossing my fingers!!

[sarahlynn]

well and if it is a popularity contest some of those ladies are gonna be in dead last :lol: oh well ya always gotta have the ones who thrive on drama and cant live w/o it..i just really really assumed on a place like APA peopel would be much more mature and adult like..heck we have 16 year olds on here more mature than 27 year olds..FOR SHAME

On a side note I was thinking.... On craigs list if you go to Rants and Raves it says this
craigslist > rants and raves > warning & disclaimer

unless all of the following points are true, please use your "back" button to exit this part of craigslist:
1. I am at least 18 years old.
2. I understand rants and raves may include offensive content.

3. I agree to flag as "prohibited" anything illegal or which otherwise violates the craigslist terms of use.

4. By clicking on the links below, I release craigslist from any liability that may arise from my use of this site.



rants and raves


Maybe we need to be able to put that as a disclamer in case we are posting some thing that could cause "Drama"

but on the other hand some times you can post about some thing that you wouldn't think could cause drama but the subject gets changed and bam drama!

[DIVADLX]

I just don't understand why so many things that have nothing to do with pregnancy, parenthood or family even get posted. Seems like that is really not what this site is about, you know? But oh well!

[sarahlynn]

random is just always like a big bubble waiting to burst..

what i dont understand is..when i see a post that either i dont agree with or that is just plain rediculous, stupid, questionable, irritateing, bothersome, childish, immature, whatever i just dont read it or post to it...its that simple...i never have felt the need to throw oil into the fire to make a big sceen..

the only time i did let my mouth run was when the get together was being planned in NM and random threw a fit over it..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[newmami]

I stay away from the drama, I found it stupid and amusing to my otherwise boring days!!

Candice, sorry that Chris is back on the antibiotic. Can you give him some yogurt to help with his poor destroyed stomach???

OK Jenn, Antonio Banderas is more my style..... my aunt met him (she shot some commercials with him) and said he is a sweetheart!

I went to the Dr this morning.... he scolded me because I stopped taking the BP medication (I HATE medicines!!) and I failed the 1 hr GD test... so I have the pleasure to do the 3 hrs again :yuck:

But I had lunch with DH, so that was a picker upper!!!

[CandiceLeigh]

Mrs. Federline... how dare you make me spew water through my nose with that image of a latin Hitler. And then (was it Jess?) who invoked the image of scores of babies in diapers following him. Especially with that goofy grin of his!

It is hilarious!! :lol: I wish I could catch it on camera, but I have him so well trained to the camera, that he stops what he's doing and gives me a big toofy grin every time he sees it! :mrgreen: <~Much like that!

As for the antibiotic, he was still on it when his diarrhea stopped, so hopefully he just adjusted to it and it won't start back up again. I do want to get him some yogurt though, because he's never had it before. What kind do you guys buy? Any suggestions?

Oh, and I also think Antonio is yummy. 8) Why else would I sit thru Desperado? :lol:

[without]

I think Antonio is yummy too but I also think Sundance (off AI) is a cutie! :oops:

[newmami]

Candice, I gave Dani the yobaby but made the mistake of getting the one with cereal and she hated it with passion. Then I gave her some of my yoplait (the red one) and she loves it!!!

So who has big plans for the weekend?? Weather is cooling down, so we are going to Disney.. our passes expire March 25 and we will not renew them for a while (summer in Disneyworld is h$ll!!!) so we want to do a last visit before they expire
Sunday DH is going to take PG pictures of me, and some with Dani!!

[haydensmom]

Candice, I really hope his ears clear up with this next round

As far as yogurt, we use YoBaby by Stoneyfield Farm. It's organic and can be found right where all the adult yogurts are! =)

[BBKCD]

Well, all I can say is I love you all, and I'm really far behind. And can you believe we're at 3900 posts? I guess I make 3901!

I've been getting up before 6--and so has Ciara! :shock: I had the Rhogam this morning, then went off to a playdate at an indoor playground with Ciara. I was already worn out by 12, but then it was on to the bank, etc., etc....Came home, did laundry (never ending, but C threw up while eating last night so it was a MUST), got a scrapbook page in....

Is it bed-time yet?????

[BBKCD]

Oh, and more-over....wait until you have a teen or pre-teen...their social schedule is driving me bonkers!!!! :roll:

[CandiceLeigh]

I'm out for the weekend ladies!! :D Love ya'll, see ya Monday!!

[DIVADLX]

Yogurt - I get a kind here that is local that is sweetened with fruit juice, which I love. I'll bet you could find that too! Unless you are less of a sugar nazi than I am. I don't know what it is. I just hate hate hate giving her sugar. Its not going to kill her!

When I interview whomever I select to be my OB for our next baby, one of the criteria that she will have to be aware of is that I will refuse the 3 hour GD test. It was the single most miserable thing that happened to me through my whole pregnancy and labor. And I won't do it again. Why? I am intolerant to sugar. So I avoid it most times (not always) and when I don't, I pay for it. So when I take the 1-hour screen, of course it says - guess what! Sugar intolerance! Anyway, unless I feel like there is something different about my sugar intolerance, i cannot do that test ever again. You are a brave brave soul!

[Heidi]

I'd like to think I could live without APA, unfortunately I'm not sure I could do it on my own. Say if it were to be down, I'd be fine, but if it's there and I am bored I just fidget and come back and back and back. I really should be doing other things.

I think/hope we are going to take Kenny-Ray to the snow this weekend. He hasn't been since he was about three 15 months old and I know he really wants to make a snowman. I hope the levels have dropped so we don't have more than an hour drive. Other than that, I guess we'll hang out at home. I did buy Flicka a week ago and still have not watched that.

I joined the forum to say hi to Traci because she's my weight loss pal, but I don't like how they are all trash-talking APA and the mods (especially). But the funniest thing is that Traci (kellar) is doing the least amount of bashing... she's actually the one who is saying, don't go making trouble - that's not why I created this site. Kind of ironic, imo.

[MarchMommy]

oooo no, she IS bashing the mods...along with MOST everyone else over there. TRUST me....she is. she made her "random" forum Private....i guess cause she knew that we were lurking. i mean if she didnt have anything to HIDE...why would she make it private. i can quote her on alot of things....and most of the members over there. theres ALLLOT of two faced-ness going on...so watch out who your friends are over there Jess

EVIL at its finest....... :roll: :roll: (i love this emotion)

I must have missed that then. I haven't really read too much, so sorry I was misinformed... :wink: Or should I say misinform-ing? :lol:

IMO it's all just ridiculous. I wish I could click my heals and make all the drama disappear!

[rhiannasmoms43]

Actually, she has kept up the request that it not be an APA bashing site, to a point where she has requested certain posters to remove their post.

I believe that she really wants her site to fly, so she doesn't want it buried in negativity.

Unfortunately a lot of the people who 'hate' all the drama are the ones who are most likely to cause it...and some of them are on Kellar's site.
I don't envy her, she will find it difficult to control the site's integrity.
...but so far so good.

That's true! I hope she can keep the site under control!

[MarchMommy]

oh really? is that why she repeatedly said that APA needs to "dump" the mods? or that she lets people on her site call members here "LAME" or "B******"? (all these are direct quotes) also she has said that certain members are "liars" in fact THAT information is in a thread called "Im sick of the liars"

so i KNOW there is APA bashing over there...ive seen it.

i do agree with you on the "drama" thing tho Julie. and IMO her site has NO integrity...BECAUSE of MOST (yes i said MOST) of the members. (there are exceptions...you being one of them, among a few others)


im not going to banter with you or anyone else about that site. it came up in this thread. this thread is 250+ pages long and not one stitch of it has DRAMA in it, and im not starting that now. this conversation is OVER, and CLOSED. i wont speak of that site in this thread anymore, and taint this good natured conversation with stupidity like that.... :wink: :wink:

[haydensmom]

Amen sista!

So my dad is finally coming to visit today. He hasn't been down once since Hayden was born. We've been to visit them a few times, but he just kept putting off coming down here. Finally I told him that it really hurt my feelings that he would go somewhere else that's the same distance, but always found an excuse not to come down here. It's only 1.5 hours away!

They're (he's with sm) late already, but at least they are coming. They haven't even seen Hayden's nursery! :roll:

[MarchMommy]

aw ! thats great Jess. have a good time with your dad!! i know that means alot to you.


well we have come full circle with naptime in this house. now she goes rigth to sleep with NO fussing...WHOOPIE!

[haydensmom]

Wow! It's about time Madi! :wink: I know you were having rough time with that a while back. I'm glad things seem to have worked themselves out!

Did you do anything special or just wait for her to be ready on her own time?

[MarchMommy]

i worked with her...once i dropped the daytime nursing sessions....it all kind of came together. it was weird. cause shes always been a boob girl to fall asleep. so that worried me...but she shows signs of being tired, i would say "night night" over and over again. put her in her crib, tell her i love her, and leave the room. she would fuss no longer than 5 mins, and if she did i would go in and console her. today was the FIRST day that ive set her in there and she laid right down.

this is SUCH a blessing for us, now that im not nursing...i guess i should have put more faith in the people who told me that "she will get it down eventually" and she has come FULL circle! its awesome, and im proud of her!

[haydensmom]

I bet you are so proud! She even did it before her one year birthday - which is almost here, btw! I can't believe she's almost one! Holy cow! WHERE did the time go??!?!

[MarchMommy]

its flown by, thats for sure. she is the BEST little girl ever, and im so lucky to have her!!!

but the nap thing is AWESOME.... guess it just took her a while to understand what "night night" means. and now when shes getting tired she will tell me "ni-ni"
and into the crib she goes!

[haydensmom]

She says ni-ni? That's so sweet! It's so cool seeing them grow up. I feel privileged to see all of these babies grow up and hear about them doing new things! I'm an only child, so I never thought I'd be an aunt, but this is sort of (in a way) like that would be!

[MarchMommy]

yep..we've got her trained....so when shes tired she says "ni-ni"

:lol:

[Bean]

That is so cute!! I can't believe she's almost a YEAR OLD! That means Lorelai is going to be a year old soon. :shock:

[MarchMommy]

time flies sooo fast doenst it...


i cant wait to get preggo again :hissy: madi will make such a good big sister!

[Bean]

Me too! I guess you need a DH to do that, though. :evil: Only 4 more weeks...

[MarchMommy]

i hope that it flies by for you girl!!!!

[Della21]

Aly, I didn't start it. I didn't write 5 posts bashing another site that other APA members are apart of. So let's not turn this around on me.

[YellowRose]

Christi, I'm so glad that Madi is going to sleep on her own! And how cute that she says ni-ni!!! I can't believe she's almost a year old!!! Time has really flown by!!!!!

[YellowRose]

Della, I just read the previous posts. I see you didn't start it, but Christi dropped it. So please, let's just drop this whole thing. I don't want this thread to have to be locked too. And I REALLY don't want any more drama. PLEASE let's just drop it!

[Della21]

It's okay, Aly. I took it to Admin. :wink:

[KCM0430]

ok, so she can start it, but because she started it we have to drop it and not comment on it when she started it? i dont get it. :?

[Bean]

If you girls want to sit and argue over something that has been argued to DEATH, please take it somewhere else. It would be a shame to lock a thread that has been going for so long.

I saw Della's post before I read the previous posts so I thought she was trying to start something. (For which, I apologize, Della, I should have read everything before saying something) Than I went back and read what Christi wrote, now, I'm not saying that she was right for what she said. But, she dropped it. She said she didn't want this thread to be lock, nor do I, so PLEASE let's ALL drop the whole thing.

[tralynne75]

Boy I have missed alot!!

I have been so sick! I think i must have bronchitis. My thoart hurts and I have drainage but I cough and cough. I feel fine in the morning but by the end of the day me head hurts, my stomach hurts and my chest hurts from coughing! I pray Katie does not get this but she has shown signs of feeling bad. Christi I hope you and Madi are not sick. Remember me saying my thoart hurt after eating the salad? Well I have been getting sicker since. PLEASE tell me I didn't get that sweet, pretty baby sick. I am gald I didn't ask to hold her or even touch her.

Well I have to say DH is starting to be better with Katie. He stays in the floor playing with her and tonight she is playing with the remote and he was watching a ball game but just laughs when she changes the channel. He will say "well now we are watching....., is that what you want to wach sweetpea?" I think losing his job has gotten them closer. Of course now she crys when he leaves the room. Mama is not good enough anymore. :cry: No matter who leaves the room she cries when she is left with me.

So since we have taken 3 steps the other day she will not even try to walk again. I guess this is normal?

[haydensmom]

I've heard that it's normal for babies to take a few steps and then stop for a week. Soon enough she'll be running around! I bet it'll only be a few more days!

Hayden seemed to hit a developmental milestone today. He figured out that it was GREAT fun to throw something and have someone return it. He also started standing while holding onto something (we stood him up, but he held on tight) for about 5 minutes. Also, he's started going from a sitting to a crawling position, but only holds it for a few seconds. I'm not sure if he'll walk or crawl first. :lol: Either way, I'll be chasing him around soon.

Can I just say that I can't WAIT for summer!!!! It will be so fun to take him outside and run around - we can go to the playground - the park - play in the grass. I live in an apt but I'm SO getting a little kiddie pool! It'll be so fun to have him at the crawling/walking stage! I'm psyched. I'm sure you all are too! They're getting so big!

[tralynne75]

Yay Hayden!! Before long he will be pulling himself up to stand. It is so cute to walk into the room when she walks from a nap to see her standing and smiling. Of course it is not too cute when she wakes at night and is standing talking to me. :shock:

I can't wait until summer either, I took Katie outside for a few mins earlier in the week.

[Bells614]

Amanda is a crawling fool!!!! She is going everywhere! It's crazy! I bought babyproofing stuff, now I just gotta get off my butt and use it all.

I went shopping :D Went to the local Carter's Outlet, they are having the 50% off baby sale, I picked up SOOO much stuff for the summer. This kid is going to be styling!!

I've lost another 2 pounds this week, so I'll need to be shopping for me before too much longer :wink:

Amanda & I are still sick, her chest X-Rays were normal, so no pneumonia, but we are still battling this thing...

I think that is all that is new with me.

Hey Claudia, how was the baby shower?

[EvandAl]

Hey ladies!!!

I'm trying to catch up with this post but I can't remember what page we were on when I left :(

Jess I am SOOO ready for summer too. I was so happy that it was in the 80's while at my In laws. John was loving it!! Of course today it's a little cooler but I think it is supposed to warm up soon :D

Christi that is great that Madi is getting so much easier to put down to sleep!! I love the ni-ni :)

John has started trying to get up on his Knees!!! I am so excited but not at the same time...that means I really need to child proof our house SOON.

[YellowRose]

I can't wait for summer either, Jess! There's a little playgroud/park near our house and I can't wait to take Caleb there to play!!! We're also planning on visiting the zoo and aquarium in Chicago this summer! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

[MarchMommy]

Christi, I'm so glad that Madi is going to sleep on her own! And how cute that she says ni-ni!!! I can't believe she's almost a year old!!! Time has really flown by!!!!!
thanks aly!!! its about darned time too. shes getting so big!! i cant even believe that shes almost one!!!! :lol:

[MarchMommy]

Boy I have missed alot!!

I have been so sick! I think i must have bronchitis. My thoart hurts and I have drainage but I cough and cough. I feel fine in the morning but by the end of the day me head hurts, my stomach hurts and my chest hurts from coughing! I pray Katie does not get this but she has shown signs of feeling bad. Christi I hope you and Madi are not sick. Remember me saying my thoart hurt after eating the salad? Well I have been getting sicker since. PLEASE tell me I didn't get that sweet, pretty baby sick. I am gald I didn't ask to hold her or even touch her.

Well I have to say DH is starting to be better with Katie. He stays in the floor playing with her and tonight she is playing with the remote and he was watching a ball game but just laughs when she changes the channel. He will say "well now we are watching....., is that what you want to wach sweetpea?" I think losing his job has gotten them closer. Of course now she crys when he leaves the room. Mama is not good enough anymore. :cry: No matter who leaves the room she cries when she is left with me.

So since we have taken 3 steps the other day she will not even try to walk again. I guess this is normal?

im sorry that you are sick!!!!
and for the walking, madi did the SAME thing...shes kinda slow going with the walking. some days shes all over the place and sometimes shes refusing to walk.

[sarahlynn]

Havent been on much all weekend so i am surei missed a lot in here..let me know if there is anything MAJOR CRAZY i need to know.. :wink:


Well its sunday night around 8:00 and i have been working for 7 hours now..i miss my babies and want to go home.. :( 30 more minutes i can make it..

[MarchMommy]

nope sarah you didnt miss a thing :wink: just APA chitchat!!!


i went to the billy joel concert last night, and i dont know if you guys have ever seen him but hes AWESOME in concert...

[haydensmom]

MM I am so jealous! I would love to see Billy Joel in concert!

Sarah, I hope you make it through work! You can do it! Distance definitely makes the heart grow fonder.

So dh and I had a fight this morning. We almost never fight, but it was a pretty bad one. We're acting normal, but I'm pretty hurt. There's a recurring issue (don't worry - not cheating or anything) that he has lied to me about in the past. Well I just found out last night that he's lying again about it. This is the fourth time. It's so frustrating. I want to punch him...

[MarchMommy]

oh jess im so sorry. i hope you guys can work thru it and talk it out.

billy joel was AWESOME!! ive seen him with elton john before, and he is GREAT in concert!!! tickets were really expensive but worth it!

[MarchMommy]

Amanda is a crawling fool!!!! She is going everywhere! It's crazy! I bought babyproofing stuff, now I just gotta get off my butt and use it all.

I went shopping :D Went to the local Carter's Outlet, they are having the 50% off baby sale, I picked up SOOO much stuff for the summer. This kid is going to be styling!!

Amanda & I are still sick, her chest X-Rays were normal, so no pneumonia, but we are still battling this thing...

I think that is all that is new with me.

Hey Claudia, how was the baby shower?youve just had an eventful weekend havent you? i hit up the carters sale on friday too. those 50% off sales ROCK!!!!

great for the weight loss and i hope that you and amanda get better soon!

[DIVADLX]

Amanda - thanks for the heads up! I hope our carter's outlet is having a sale! Although, with the impending trip to Hawaii, I did just buy a bunch of clothes for Stella.

Hey the girl's gotta travel in style! :)

Man, we went a looked at some houses today... I need a new mantra... must...not...look...at...1/2...million...dollar...houses...will...only...make ...the... craphole...you...can...afford...look...worse...

:D

My interview with the Seattle Opera was really awesome! She gave me a ton of great information and I got in interview with another person there for another position! Woo hoo!

[MarchMommy]

im jealous that you are going back to Hawaii Jen. i love it there....

jen you will find a house thats right for you guys!!

[haydensmom]

The carter's outlet by us is having a huge sale as well! I went on Friday and got some really cute summer stuff for Hayden! Also, if you spend $50, you get a $10 check for use there... and it's not like, you have to spend so much in order to use it... just spend $10 and you owe nothing but taxes! :wink: :D

[Bells614]

Yup, I got $20 worth of gift cheques...just another excuse to go shopping again! I'm pretty sure all the stores are having the 50% off sale...but only on baby stuff (up to 24 months). The toddler and kids sizes aren't included.

I bought a wedge to put in Amanda's crib last night. While she has been sick, the nights have been rough, almost like a newborn again. She slept through the night last night (thank goodness!) But, she woke up with the awful cough still. She also had some blood in her snot. I feel so bad for her! I can deal with being sick myself, I just wish she would kick this.

I'm sorry Jess! I found out about a lie my DH had been telling be for about as long as we had been married. I struggled with it, he says he doesn't do it anymore (just like you, not cheating or anything), but I'm not 100% sure. He hid it from me for 4.5 years, he could be hiding it still. I know how much it stinks (((HUGS)))

[newmami]

Wow!! this thing grew 3 pages since my last visit!!!

Sorry for all the sick kids and mommies!! hope everybody feels better soon

Walking, Dani did that, couple of steps for Daddy, then NOTHING for some days, then walk again, now I am wondering what is the hurry on having them walk (I just chase her around non stop!!!)

Yay for the weight loss Kelly!!!

Problems with Dh... I really hate those!! when are men going to understand that lying makes things worse?? we get upset of whatever they do PLUS the lying... if they just tell us, it is one less Grrr!!!

Too cute Christi that Madi says Ni ni! it is awesome when they start talking and understanding words. Dani will tell me that she is hungry, and if I tell her bath time, she says agua (water) and goes to the stairs... As Jess said, it is amazing watching them grow!!!

The "baby shower" was a fiasco :roll: ... nothing major except a cake... I should have taken the day off!!

So it seems like I am convincing DH to move out of FL... not in the near future, but at some point.. YEAH!!! we are concerned with the bad schools, traffic problems and insecurity!!! if he could transfer with Coca Cola somewhere else, it would be great!! I can honestly work anywhere!!

We went to Disneyworld on Saturday. Dani has been all excited about a little plush Mickey Mouse that she has, so we took her to see the real deal... she gave the biggest smile and was all excited, it was PRICELESS!! until MM decided to play peekaboo and freaked her out!!!

And I just want to say I am upset and sad that my Thank you Mods post was locked..... I would leave it there!!!

PAM, where are you????????????????

[without]

I am here.

James asked me on a date (the email guy from a few moths ago) I said yes and then said we woudl have to set up the time later because he doesn't know when his son will go to visit the mother. :roll: I fear this will give him time to back out.

My brothers little girl came to Fayetteville hopital!! yea!!! She is gaining about 2 oz a day and off the oxagen!

[sarahlynn]

Man fights are the worst... :( my DH is terrible about lieing about money..thats his big stupid thing he does..and there is no reason to lie because i always find out aned than i am 500 times more pissed than if he had just told me the truth.. :? men!

I hope all the sick babies are getting better..lucea had her final antibiotic shot on saterday..so that is it for this mama..NO MORE DRUGS..especially shots they hurt to much..so 10 more days and back in to check the ears..CYs ear was draining everywhere this morning..BLAH poor kids..PLEASE PLEASE SUMMER GET HERE SOON!

So is this any inkling of what my week will belike..Got a call from cys school at 9:30..he got hit in the nose and bled all over his pants, shirt, neck everywhere and was feeling lightheaded..so matt had to run get him for awhile..PLEASE maybe this is the one bad thing for the week and the rest will be easier..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NO good gifts at the baby shower?? ugh bummer

~~~~~~~~~~~

why on earth was the thank you post locked?

[haydensmom]

Dh and I are doing much better... the problem isn't resolved, but we are working through it. It's not an overnight thing.

That sooooo sucks that there weren't any presents at the shower! Obviously you don't need a ton of stuff, but they could've at least gotten you a gift card or something. :roll: You still need diapers and wipes and stuff!! Maybe that's materialistic of me, but I thought that (and cake) was the whole point of a "shower." To "shower" you with gifts??? duh!

Sarah I hope that this round of shots works for Miss Lucea! Your poor kiddos! I wonder what makes some kids so prone to them. :(

[sarahlynn]

wow i never noticed the APA PRESIDENT on before..

[Bells614]

I'm with you Jess...on the baby shower. Dang, everyone could have thrown in $5 and bought a bunch of diapers! Heck, I feel back because our friends just had their second little girl and I don't have the gift to them yet. I need to go order some diapers off 1800diapers.com and get them out to them. I have other gifts too, but I'm waiting on the babylegs to get here first.


I gotta get my butt off of here and go clean the kitchen!

[DIVADLX]

Sarah, what was weird is that everytime I popped into a new forum, the APA President followed... not on purpose of course, I mean, I go down the list and so was he probably, but it was a little like... am I being watched? :shock: :D

Yeah... Claudia - they should have had SOMETHING for you. That's just really tacky. Now you can quit! :)

Oh my goodness... I would be in so much trouble if I went to the carter's sale!!!!

Sick babies get better dang it!

Pam - a date! Yahoo! I hope he doesn't chicken out... does it sound like he has trouble with the ex?

I can't wait until pay day. We are buying our airline tickets to Hawaii! Yahoo! And then I have to find Hawaii clothes, and a dress for the wedding. That will be a depressing shopping trip.

[sarahlynn]

OMG HAWAII! you lucky lucky girl.. iam super happy for you adn super jelous...

i am still debateing on wether i should spend the money on a trip next month with the kids..i have $400 saved that DH doesnt knwo about..or he would spend it :lol: i jsut know we deserve it but darn its hard to spend money

[newmami]

Oooh Jenn, I am jealous of your trip to Hawaii!!!
Congratulations on the good interview, I hope you get the job with the Opera!!!

Hey Pam, I hope James calls you back.... I can tell you by experience that dealing with a stupid Ex is a hassle, so I am not surprised he cannot commit to a date until he talks to the Ex... UGH!!!!
And YAY to your niece!! looks like she is doing great!! I pray they can take her home in no time!!

Sarah, hope Cy is ok!! I am sorry you had a rough start on the week

Well, besides the cake I got about $100 on giftcards.... I don't want to be materialistic either, but you would think that people who work for a BANK (who make over $100k /year) would be a little more generous, right?? well I would use some to get diapers... good thing we already had a plan to get Christi's stuff!!!

[MarchMommy]

DO its sarah!! im all about some trips, man!

good luck with James pam! you deserve some happiness!!!

claudia im sorry you had a weak shower..just remember that when their time comes!

[newmami]

Sarah, take those precious kids on a well deserved vacation!! have tons of fun with them and enjoy the time!!!

[haydensmom]

Sarah, GO!!

Jenn, Hawaii sounds awesome. May I stow away in your suitcase?!?!? :lol:

[CandiceLeigh]

Hi everyone!! **waving** I've missed a lot of the conversation, but I'll try to catch up!

Christi, that's so cool about Billy Joel, he was a little before my time but I do remember the song, "We Didn't Start the Fire." I liked the music video!

Jenn, can I go to Hawaii with you? That's my dream vacation!! How much $$ do I need to save to go there and have a good time? I think I'm going to start a Hawaii Savings, and hide it from my DH. :wink: That would be awesome to go there!

Jess, sorry DH is being a douche bag. They're good at that, aren't they? :roll: Hayden looks so cute in your siggy! He has a GREAT smile!

Kelly, yay for losing weight!! And that's awesome about all the clothes you got for Amanda. Chris needs a new wardrobe too, he's getting too big for a lot of his clothes.

Sarah, sorry about Cy. I hope he's ok! I'm still crossing my fingers for Lucea too! GO AWAY EAR INFECTION!! :x Oh, and go on vacation! That sounds like fun, getting away from everything!

Pam, I hope your date happens. You deserve to be happy! :mrgreen: How's Morgan doing, new pics please!!

Claudia, sorry your shower was lame. That's no fun! I want to see new pics of Dani too!!

In fact, I want to see new pics of everyone's babe!!! I put a new one in my siggy. I love it! :mrgreen:

[sarahlynn]

OH candice he is so so so sweet...i dont think i have any new pics ... hmm letme check..i did take come of cy in his new cowboy hat ..i will have to download them

Here is some stuff i hung up in lucea room..since she was a surprise when she was born (boy/girl) we didnt hang anything on the walls..so finaly yup 10 months later i hugn up some girly things..butterflies on the ceiling..flowers on the walls and THE flowery letters that i made that say DREAM

i hope htey arent to big..hey there is lucea in one of them :lol:

[Bells614]

The room is awesome Sarah!!! I like those letters, what did you make them with?

Oh Jen, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and the opera job! I sooo want to go to Hawaii. I've been thinking of starting a little savings project for a nice trip like that. I get a bonus each week, nothing big, like $20-$45, I've been putting it in Amanda's savings account, but I might start a trip account with it. Though Manda does deserve it more.

I got my computer back!!!! The motherboard went out two weeks ago...some how everything stayed on the computer...**** $135 we spent to back it up wasn't needed :roll: BUT, I'm so happy we have it back.

[sarahlynn]

I love Bonuses...we should all ge tmore of them..i think a trip account is a good idea..thast what i did...my DH doesnt even know it exists..isnt that horrible..but he is such a spender htat if he knew i had $350 he would find something he needs..


I made the letters out of fake flowers from hobby lobby..i picked out some fun colors and flowers and went wiht it..i had seen it in a magazine but didnt want to pay $50 bucks so i made it for probubly $10

i will take a close up so you can see how i did it

[CandiceLeigh]

Sarah, those look awesome! I love Lucea's room! And yes, I saw her in the pics! :lol: Little cutie!

[DIVADLX]

I love that room!!!!

Hawaii - air tickets $350 per person ($700) and I put an ad on Craigslist with all the things I wanted in a place to stay, so we'll be staying in a three bedroom house with access to a pool, laundry, with a full kitchen and a huge plasma TV for only $80 per night! We won't have to pay for parking either. And it is on the quiet side of the island in kailua where Stella was born. So... doing the math... 80 times 4 is $320, so $1020 so far... our rental car will be around $40 a day so $160 for that... and then food - but since we are there for a wedding 3 out of 4 dinners are being paid for by someone else! And with the kitchen, we can just make breakfast. So really we're just looking at lunch.

Man that was long. Sorry. Anyway, you can go to Hawaii on a small budget - all said, we're looking at $1500 total for the trip for all three of us.

Yuck. I have to go to Walmart. I hate Walmart, but I need some fabric for the mei tais and they have a bunch of good fabrics for much less than my fabric store. Soon as Stella finishes her lunch...

[haydensmom]

Wow Jenn, you made that trip so affordable! So you just put an ad on Craig's list? I would never think to do that!

Candice, your new siggy pic is ADORABLE! He's getting so darn big!

Sarah, Lucea's room looks awesome! Those flowers are so neat and very creative! You rock!

Dh bought me flowers, which is surprising... he usually doesn't buy into the whole "guys buy flowers when they've messed up" cliche... he usually just buys them randomly, but it was nice. He also sang to me and attempted to get me to slow dance, but I'm just not in that "lovey" place with him. He's trying, God Bless Him.

[MarchMommy]

wow jen that DOES sound awesome!!!!! i love hawaii, i think its neat that stella was born there!


sarah, i didnt know that you didnt know that Lucea was a girl....thats awesome!!!

[tralynne75]

Sarah I love Luceas room.

Jenn, I hope you have a great trip and I am just a little jealous. Ok who am i kidding I am sooooo jealous. LOL! I think I will talk with DH and since it sounds cheap maybe we can go. I am glad your interview went well, I hope you get a job there. BTW I am planning on ordering, I just haven't had alot of time to get online so I haven't gotten a chance to look at your page. I will get to it tomm morning I promise (maybe if miss priss goes down soon I wil tonight)

Jess I know how those fights go. I was not in the lovely place for about a month with Dh and it happen to be over Valentines day, I just gave him money and told him where to go. hehehe Hugs to you. At least he is trying, my DH just acts as if he did no wrong until I get over it.

Carters sale, I am so glad I dont live closer to the outlet. With DH not working I would have spent the bill money.

[sarahlynn]

yeah both my babies were surprises...it was harder waiting with the second one

guess what..i shaved my legs :lol: its been a long time

[tralynne75]

I would like my next baby to be a surprise. Thats if I have another one.

I shaved yesterday, doesn't it feel nice to finally shave??

I forgot to ask about baby yogurt, is it ok for a 9 month?

[DIVADLX]

The airline tickets are only $307 right now! Shnikey I wish I could buy them tonight!!!

I would love a surprise too, but I want another girl so badly that we are going to have to time it perfectly so that we can do the fast sperm/slow sperm thing again.

Craigslist is a beautiful thing. If I am ever rich, I am going to donate a large sum to Craig.

[haydensmom]

Hayden has eaten baby yogurt before, so I'm sure she'd be fine, Tracy!

MM, have you looked at a chinese conception calendar? It's pretty accurate. :wink:
http://www.baby-talk.co.uk/chinese_calendar.htm

[rhiannasmoms43]

Tralynn,
I fed my dd yogurt from 5 months on because I went back to work and she wouldn't take any type of bottle; so she got regular yogurt and water or juice in a sippy cup while at the daycare.
She survived very well, and never had to have any penicillin until she was four years old.

[MarchMommy]

MM, have you looked at a chinese conception calendar? It's pretty accurate. :wink:
http://www.baby-talk.co.uk/chinese_calendar.htm

i did when i was pregnant with madison and it wasnt correct, said i was having a boy....

[haydensmom]

http://www.baby-talk.co.uk/chinese_calendar.htm

i did when i was pregnant with madison and it wasnt correct, said i was having a boy....

:lol: Oh well! It was correct with me, but I guess it has about a 50/50 chance!

[MarchMommy]

yea.....all of them said i was having a boy!! :lol:
i guess im just weird!!!

its fun to play around with it. it was correct for me and my brother....(as far as when my mom conceived)


ok so im making this picture montage DVD of a bunch of madisons 1st year pics from my digital camera to play at her party. i just want it to play continously and give people a focal point and something cute to look at because we have TWO divorced families coming, and various other people. so i made it last night...nothing special...just 7 seconds per pic, and they were all random. worked on it for 3 hours...and i could NOT get it to burn onto a DVD... :evil: :evil: my stepbrother is going to try to get it done for me, but im like freaking....

[sarahlynn]

i hate when i cant get crap to burn on CD's make me so angry.

[Bean]

The Chinese calendar was right for me.

[stephiegirl]

The calendar I looked at was wrong for me, it said girl! I know there are a couple of different versions out there.

[HollyJo]

Christi, are you burning it onto the right kind of DVD? When I was trying to burn a video to a DVD and having trouble I learned that I was trying to burn onto a "+" (plus) DVD when really I needed to be using a "-" (minus). It worked out to be a simple solution, but took for freakin' ever for us to figure it out.

Good luck!

I won't even bother replying to all the other exciting and cool stuff going on with everyone... I'm so behind in this thread!!! :P

omg i dont know... :shock: ill go check that out right now!!!

[newmami]

Yogurt is OK for a 9 month old Tracey

I love those letters Sarah!! I need to put up the ones I made for Danielle, they are not fancy, but would light up her room!! I also need to make some for Christi and arrange the nursery to make room for her stuff!! we bought this racks for the closet and now I have TONS of space, I love it!!!

Christi, the DVD idea sounds wonderful!! grandparents always appreciate pictures of the little ones!! My parents print the ones I put on Dani's website, and have a whole display in their house!! too cute!!!

Hey Jenn, next time I want to travel, I would hire you as my travel agent!! $1500 for a trip to Hawaii sounds WONDERFUL!!!! I am jealous too, and DH has no interest in going to Hawaii (hates beaches).... I would need to find him a photography tour to convince him to go there!!! :?

The chinese calenda was correct with Danielle..... it says Christi would be a boy...hmmm.... who should I believe, the U/S or the internet information????? :lol:

Am I the only one who freaked out at the idea of having this thread closed, after what happened with our dear Mods???????????

[CandiceLeigh]

Am I the only one who freaked out at the idea of having this thread closed, after what happened with our dear Mods???????????

NO!! :shock: I freaked out too!! I was already devising a plan in my head about what to do. We would have to start a new one and title it the same thing, so we could still find it and maybe even get Pam to start it...etc... :lol: I was scared too!!

Christi, that is an awesome idea! I might have to steal it for Chris' party! I need more ideas for fun stuff to do. I want Chris to have fun because it's his party, KWIM?

Holly, I looove your siggy! Caiden's little curls are so cute! :D

[MarchMommy]

it wont be closed.....trust me...

[HollyJo]

Thanks Candice!! :D My DH keeps hinting that C's hair is lookin' shaggy and needs a trim around the collar, but I keep telling him to be patient and let it grow so it'll curl. And now it is... I love it! :)

[Bells614]

What a cutie Caiden is!!! We thought Amanda was going to have curls, NOPE! Straight as a board!

Am I nuts? I just reserved a shelter at the park for Amanda's first birthday.

Little Vent...for school we have to do a group project (more like pairs, but still). It's a FIVE week class. We don't have time to be doing a GROUP project. Add to it, my partner is anal retentive about everything. We just need to pick a movie, that is all that needs to be done by tonight (we have had three weeks to do it) and we still don't have it done! AHHH!!!!!

Thanks!

[DIVADLX]

According to the chinese calendar, Stella should have a penis... YIKES!

I had every intention of making a DVD like that for her birthday, but between the holidays, the teething, the party and working 6 days a week, I couldn't do it. I still intend on making a "Stella's first year" video, but probably when I get my laptop back.

I HATE group projects at school. It always drove me nuts because I always felt like i was the only one doing the work.

And as far as this thread getting closed? PAH! We have other ways of keeping the peace here than just locking and closing. If you ladies just ignore any bad comments, they will go away. Just like y'all did!

[Bells614]

I think this is how my partner is feeling, because I'm like..."eh, just pick one!" I just don't think it requires that much thought. But he keeps saying no, these just aren't right! I'm going insane!!!!!!

[HollyJo]

Thanks Amanda! BTW, I liked Amanda's floppy hat I sent for the swap so much that I had to go last week and get a boyish camoflauge version for Caiden. :P

I hated group projects. I'm the type of person who likes to do it all myself and all my way. :oops: I always took school very seriously, especially college where I had my own money invested, and it stressed me out to have people influencing my grades who didn't care as much as I did.

Yeah... people probably hated being in groups with me. Or they loved it because I did all the work. :lol:

[newmami]

I am like Holly, I am neurotic enough I would end up doing everything... but at least I knew the project was done correctly!!!
Yeah, people love that, they get a good grade for free!!!

I agree the picture of Caiden is precious!! love the little curls and the blond hair!!!

Dani also has some curls to show off... hope you can figure them out on her messy hair!!!
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/claudiam71/curls.jpg

[CandiceLeigh]

Ugh, I hated group projects too. I didn't like having to meet with people I didn't know outside of class. I'm very shy :oops: so I had issues.

What did everyone have for lunch? I had Fazoli's (fast food Italian) and there special was a triple sampler for $2.99!! So I had spaghetti, fetticini alfredo, and a piece of pizza! It was delicious! I ate like a cow though! :roll:

[haydensmom]

I had leftover pizza. Not exciting. Not healthy enough either. :roll:

[Bean]
