Have you seen Mate in Manhattan?? on Lifetime TV??

The life coach said that the best place to meet good men is in the coffee shop, the doughnuts place on the street. the park and on the banking area of your town, lol

He said that in the bookstore men go to chill and who would like to be disturbed when you are reading your favorite book or magazine.

I met lots of guys in the coffee shop. I used to go there after class and sit sipping a cappuccino and read my "law" books, that turned guys on :wink:

LOL! After DBF took a trip to China and Japan this October without me and the kids I told him I was gonna take an alone trip too. I have yet to pick a place, or to have the money to even take a vacation, but that's just a trivial detail that'll only hold me back for a few years at the MOST. :lol:

How's this for a sick kid? Morgan is running a fever of 100 - 102 but she keeps wanting to dance around and is singing this "baby baby" line from a commercial. We can't figure out what's wrong with her. Tylenol brings the fever down for a while. At least she is not crying and clingy. I hope you all have a good weekend. My husband stayed home with her today and I will be with her tomorrow. I might take her to the walk in clinic tomorrow.

[sarahlynn]

ugh so many sick babies... :(

babies take being sick so much better than big people

[sja1508]

Holy Crap! I had to read like 20 pages to get caught up from bedtime last night. You all sure cover the gambit....

Fish and sex, vacation drama, raises, Stacy being tested, Big brother dropping by and sweaty feet!!! ROFL!!

Zack's appt went great. We did the 18 mo vac and he got 3 shots and didn't utter a peep. He just looked at them like 8) No fever or any kind of reaction so far. He's 34 3/4" (97%) and 26.4 lbs (50%). I got the paperwork filled out for the ear surgery so we are all set.

I'll catch you all in the morning sometime! Sweet dreams....

[willsmama]

Sweet dreams! I am also now only a lurker. :)

Stacy Im so happy he is doing so great!!! WTG! :waytogo:

Umm I better find someplace to board my two doggies before we go! :shock:

[sja1508]

Yea! I'm so excited too!! I'm lucky that I have my Mom to watch our dog.

Our plan is to leave really late (around 7pm) when Zack is getting ready for bed so hopefully he'll sleep the whole ride. We'll get in around 10:30-11pm to the hotel? Lynn, if you want, you can call my cell after you guys check in so I know your room # or you can wait and call me in the AM. Zack always likes to wake us up bright and early around 6:30.

Jenny, is there a good spot to meet right inside the park????? We need to setup a place and time for Sat.

I am coming down with a cold... great!!! :roll: . See if I can get rid of it before next weekend... WOO HOO!!! so DH's ex changed weekends and SK is going :? to BG, which only means DH would be busy dealing with him and leave me time... WOO HOO!!! my mom is coming to, so start practicing your Spanish ladies, because she doesn't speak English

DH told me yesterday he feels GUILTY that we live so far from my parents, like we are depriving them from being with the kids :shock: ... he has a conscience ladies!!! I told him, well, lets hope Hillary wins, then we can move to Mexico!!!

Dani was also mad at DH, he blew her a kiss and she started crying, like "leave me alone" crying

Oh oh oh!! and she wanted to go to the potty this morning!!! she didn't made it, but there is a start!!!

Isn't it so interesting to watch our children as they grow an who and why they get up set at. I try so hard to get Morgan to like Grants mom but she doesn't like her at all. Maybe 1 out of every 6 or 7 times she visits goes well. :roll:

[Momto3]

Ashley - Sorry your got the brunt of lexes anger (sippy cup).

Claudia - I speak NO spanish so your Mom and I will smile alot at each other! I'm glad your DH is thinking more about your feelings and things you ahve been thinking of as well.

[lexsmama]

Awesome job, Pam! You're doing great!

Eh, it's okay. I know it'll pass. I just remind him that it's not nice and hurts Mama every time he does it, and hope it sinks in one day. :wink:

Glad your dh's thinking about you more, Claudia! I hope things work out for you, whichever way you wish it to.

[newmami]

Isn't it amazing how kids can already show their emotions?? I love it!! bad for throwing a sippy though.......
You cannot force a child to like someone, right Pam??? Danielle didn't cared for StepMIL... but I have to say she is creepy looking :shock:

I came to the realization that right now, Dani loves my mom more than she loves me or DH... cute though, I love how well they get along, considering they do not see each other so often

I didn't brought lunch either, my plan is to go to the Church here downtown (if it is open) and light a candle for Ethan.... I have not been in church since I moved here, so I am emotional about it....
And I told my office DH to please put Ethan and Allison's family on her prayer list... he did when DH & I were in a bad spot

I am secretly hoping it rains today, it seems appropriate whenever there is a funeral.... in my childish mind, it is Heaven crying for the loss of a person..... I know, I am weird

Anyways, I just had an apple with PB for breakfast!!! YUMMM

[without]

WTG Pam for sticking with it!!!


Thanks but I still don't feel like I am doing enough. :roll: My bigest wahoo! for me yesterday was...Morgan had a peporoni pizza and I didn't have one bite! I sat and ate my beans and cottage cheese as she wolfed down 1/2 a totino's pizza by herself. :shock: It was hard not to eat some but I did it! 8)

Me too! I wonder if the church has candles still? I may go find out and light two.

[bel]

Not childish at all, when my 4 grandparents died it rained each time :cry: :cry: it´s still very hard on me to remember them :(
I guess if there are not candles they will have those fake candles you can light with a coin :? Im not sure...
Ethan will be buried in two hours more less, sad, sad

Belita, I put an answer on the shoes thread... hope it helps :wink:

Pam, I know you look young, but seriously, you being Morgan's sister?? that is just plain stupid!!!

I'm clueless on shoe sizes.

Pam - Weird that lady would think that. I always worry when my older DD carries Katelyn that people will think she is hers.

Claudia - You are doing a very nice thing by lighting a candle. I should too.

[sophie'smom]

UGGGHH! Why are latin people so freaking bad with time???

He just cancelled my review AGAIN!! 3rd time!!

I am so excited for or BG meet up too. DH and SD are coming with us.

Ladies I am so mad, depressed and anxious, I backed up my precious car into somebody elses and made a HUGE cut on my back bumper. This was against a Nissan Xterra which didn't get a freaking scratch, My insurance will cover but my copay is 1K, stupid Clark Howard who recommended that amount in order to get a better rate on the premium, uggghh!!

DH said to just put a bumper sticker on it because it will be aroun 2K to replace my bumper :( He was mad at me, even more mad because I over reacted to a phone convo we had and I was mad at him and didn't answer his phone calls in 2 days :lol:

He got home last night and we talked and this morning when I came to work, I saw an email he sent me yesterday and it was beautiful. Read:

I am sorry that I am tired and cranky lately.

Rather than understanding, you jump to conclusions when I cant talk.

So I guess I am just an a**. 70 or more hours a week are tiring. But up until this incident, I don't think that I did anything that deserves this response.

Rather than telling you to go to Florida with Sophie, I offered to drive you before you mentioned anything about going to Bush Gardens.

I cried!! I think he has never sent me something more than 2 words, lol

Clau, no biggie Yo Hablo Espanol :wink: Tu mami no va a estar sola :D

[without]

Yeah, I know! Though the comment made me feel good it also made me thing that girl must be stupid! Its easy to see when watching us interact that I am not a sister.

On the other hand I am 10 years older than my youngest sister and we used to be really close. Any time we would hang out together people would call me her mom. :evil: Also every one always thinks my mom and I are sisters! :roll:

[sarahlynn]

any big weekend plans ladies??


how the review goes well

[sophie'smom]

any big weekend plans ladies??


how the review goes well

Thanks girl. I am sitting here waiting!!

This weekend SD has a "date" with my friend's son not the sitters because he totally stood her up last weekend and told her that he is not into girls yet and to check in next year, lol

So SD put her eyes on my other friend's son, he is such a ham, so cute and not shy at all, so he said: I'll go to the movies, she is inviting so it is free for me :lol: and he invited her to his b-day part-ee

I wanna laugh so hard because the evil always says how much she hates "mexicans" (meaning all latin people :roll: idiot) and the 2 boys her DD has a crush on are Latins and this new one is Mexican, lol

We are taking them to the movies, everyone around is going to, just to "check their date out" I really expect Aaron to be a gentelman with her.

DH said that all of this thing of boys is new to her and we'll play the game along with her (she is being nice to me because she wants to hang out with our friends) but if we see her getting out of control, then DH will take control of the situation.

I am really excited, deep, way deep inside I still love my SD, lol. I don't like her a whole lot but I sure love her way inside me.

Its funny that you say that! I once said to my mom "my teen age years were hard on you I was so boy crazy. I am sorry about that." She said..."well...I always loved you but there were times I sure didn't like you. I am just glad you grew out of it." LOL :lol:

Aaaw, Sarah. I'm so sorry. I was talking to dh last night about it. He wondered how you were. He said your dh may be in self-pity mode from finding out all his health issues. It's hard, and I wish with all my heart it were easier and different.

Dh sings it alot. I guess I should take the comliment and stop telling him how ugly I feel.

He told me that I used to be more fun loving than I am now? What's up with that? (I asked him how I've changed since we got married.)

[without]

Ok remember how I said I wanted to run. Well... last night I had the bright idea to jog in place as part of my exorcies. :roll: Its not that I can't do it physicaly its a mental thing. I can't stand in on place and jog with out moving forward a little bit. :roll: :oops:

[Momto3]

He told me that I used to be more fun loving than I am now? What's up with that? (I asked him how I've changed since we got married.)

Oh I get that one too. Yeah I used to be more fun loving because I used to not wake up once or twice in the middle of the night and be rushed out the door in the morning to get the babe to my parents. Not that he doesn't help, but its a tad bit more stressful!

Pam - jog around your house (I mean on the inside). I sometimes doe that in the office here when no one is around. Are you still dashing to race the peas?

[without]

Are you still dashing to race the peas?

yes and I started a new one at home. Even if I am not watching the TV when a comershal comes on I will see how much I can get done before Sponge Bob comes back on. The whole time the show is playing I am thinking OK Next comershal break I will try to put away a basket of laundry feed the cat and get back before the show starts again. LOL Its turned into quite the addiction! :shock:

[newmami]

If it rains, we will see the inside shows, or buy ponchos :lol:

Run in the same place sounds weird... without a threadmill??? I am confused!!!

Sarah, I am so sorry!! I wish Matt appreciated you better, you are a wonderful wife, woman and mom....

Went to Church at lunch, boy it was emotional and powerful... I cried the moment I stepped a foot on the church, it has been a little too long... no candles but I prayed for Ethan and for Allison. Then walked back to work, feeling peace, it was great!

Got to go back to work before I miss the branch cut off and Fed Ex

LOL it does look pretty strange me standing in my bed room picking my legs up as fast as I can yet going no where. LOL

I am glad you went to the church. Isn't the peace wonderful! I went to the Epsicapal (sp?) church and lit a candles. I am not epsicapal but Grant was and they are used to seeing me there. Some times I like to go and just sit in there gardens.

I guess w'll get wet?? LOL!!!

We may sit some where for a while? It is fine with me.

Well ladies I am back from my review. I don't have good news, it was a lame review. Right out, like a smack the boss said: WE ARE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT A RAISE. This is only a review of your performance. Well on a scale f 1 to 4 for 1 being outstanding and 4 sh needs to get the F out of here, I got most 2's and 3' some 4's here and there but on nothing major :roll:

No raise, no promotion and he said that if I wasn't happy about it that the doors were opened for me to leave but he would rather not see me do that. He said I can't get a promotion or a raise because I don't have a degree and the execs in Chile rate the raises according to your level of education. Big surprise, huh?? I should have know it better since I come from a country similar to it, where you get the job if you are white and if you come from a private company or if your last name has the DEL or DE (of) in it. (shouldn't say that since my maiden name is Del Aguila :? )

I don't know what to do. He wants me to be more orginized and to make desicions on my own :roll: what does it mean? He is the boss, shouldn't I consult with him first.

I really don't know what to do I need the job, I was planning on working PT so I could spend more time with DD but I pay my brither's college tuition and he now wants/has to change colleges because his is screwed up :cry:

Tell me ladies, what do I do??

Say buh-bye.

[Momto3]

There is such a thing as the cost of living. Prices of everything goes up and people's income should go up as well. That is not right what he did and said. Maybe the amount of raise is based on your degree, but to not give one at all? Not right!

I'd be looking for something else.

[newmami]

Yup, your boss is an arse,......... WTF with the degree idea?? send him to my bank and he will see the ones with the most degrees are the idiot ones :lol:

No big plans for the weekend, but I have a date with DH tonight... then we need to go shopping and maybe I will take the kids to the park on Sunday

[sophie'smom]

I know :cry:

The stupid things is that THIS company sells a net worth of 200 MILLIONS PER MONTH!!, yes millions per month and the approval for raises come from Chile and according to the cost of living to the eyes of CHILE. How stupid is that??

And that is not against the law because the company is based in Chile, so they decide wherther to pay moreor actually less :cry: I am so upset. very much so :cry:

[bel]

Im sorry cecilia! I know exactly where are you coming from...
well is I was you, I would look for a part time but dont leave this company until I have something under my sleeve yk?
sad...im sorry, everything happens for a reason Im sure a better oportunity is arround the corner

[lexsmama]

running for coffee..

[bel]

but I have a date with DH tonight.
cool :wink: give him some please.

poor ceci i hate this.

the sun is briting WTF the rain storm just finished :shock:
good thing Im going to be able to tan tomorrow
a whale near to the pool HA!

[sophie'smom]

I am going to suck it up until my 1st year "anniversary" in here because if I leave at 6 months it will not look good in my resume :cry: My boss even told me that :shock:

The desicion of the raise doesn't come from him, I know I would get it but he can't do anything else but suggest a raise for me. He said he will see what he can do about it but the president of the company in chile decides if that is OK or not.

Ugghh, I hate burocracy!! CRAP

Ok well if this was a 6 month review and not your annual review, then maybe I can see no raise at this time...but in 6 more months there better be something there!

Also, if its only been six months that you have been there and you look around, I wouldn't even put them on your resume. If someone questions the gap in work time...you tried being a SAHM. Thats all they have to know!

[Jenny]

Oh, it's only been 6 months? Normally raises come at 1 year (at least in my experience) but I've usually had reviews at 3 months for the end of the probation period. I'd suck it up and try to get more 1's and less 4's by that 1 year mark.

Ohh sorry, I guess I didn't explain well. He said, no raises for my position, period. That's all I can get because I don't have a degree :?

This is a big company and it would look good (from the outside and in writing) on my resume.

[bel]

see you mondays girls! hope you can enjoy your week end :wink:

[Momto3]

On a separate boss note...my boss just fired his 5th secretary since I left there. I know thats confusing, let me explain.


I worked for an attorney who has a private practice but is also the City attorney for a couple municipalities in this area. Anyway I worked in his private practice for him for 15 years. At one of the cities where he is attorney, he had a Paralegal there who was an employee of the City. She retired. I told him that since I would still get to work for him, I would like to apply for that job at the City and he let me. So I have been here going on my 4th year. I still work for him (so he is still my boss) but I am an employee of the municipality with all their benefits.

So in the 4 years that I have been gone from his private practice he has gone through 5 secretarys. :lol:

[Jenny]

No raises, EVER????????????????

Then it's time to move on. You've capped out in that position at that company. Or go back to school.

[Momto3]

No raises, EVER????????????????

I totally agree. What is the point in staying, just to earn what you make now. In 5 years you are still there, you are still making what the salary was 5 years ago? Ummm, no thanks!

[sophie'smom]

He can't live withot you Lynn and he is showing it by changing secretaries, lol

What kind of law do you do for him??

I loved doing PI, that was the funnest job ever!! easy as breeze :wink: I wish I could go back, maybe after this job but to be honest, I am tired of working for someone else. I want to be my own boss.

If you had the money what kind of business would you like to have? I want a craft store or a cleaning company but I think I need my mommy to be with me and walk me thru, she is a smart business woman. :D

[sophie'smom]

Or go back to school.

That is what he wants me to do :roll: He said the company will flex my time if I want to go back to school and they can pay but he didn't recommend that because I would have to sign a contract to work for them 3 more years after graduating, mm no thanks!!

[lexsmama]

You too Bel!

[Jenny]

I would love to have my own children's bookstore. Like in the movie You've Got Mail. That would be my dream :)

If you had the money what kind of business would you like to have? I want a craft store or a cleaning company but I think I need my mommy to be with me and walk me thru, she is a smart business woman. :D

He said if he goes through 10 I have to come back! Haha! Sure with the same benefits as the City.

Right now I do mostly labor and muncipal law.

If I had the money I would open a Bed and Breakfast somewhere in the country (but not in FLa).

I still toss around the idea of becoming a law librarian, but my BFF who is a lawyer says that most firms don't employ law librarians. Any thoughts on that, Lynn?

[lexsmama]

Gergia's pretty, and so is East Texas! :wink:

[sophie'smom]

A former co worker told me that her dream job was to have a coffee shop where parents and kids can hang out, like an activity place, mom drinking a cup of coffee here while the kids are playing at arms reach.

Neat idea but unreal. That would be in a perfect world.

Oh, butting in again!


Just yesterday I was wishing I could own and run a flower shop like my Grandma and later my mom did.

[lexsmama]

That would be cool. Or open a theater that will show movies to families.

Your friend is right. Attys use online libraries and reference books. Nowadays with PDA's it is even easier to access Lexis Nexis or Westlaw.

I've not seen one in a private practice. Law Librarians would mostly be either at the Courthouses or at the colleges.

Sigh. That's what Nina said. And our closest law school (Stetson) is about an hour away. I guess I'll stick with being a Children's Librarian. :P

Ok, I'm joing the gym here at work. Tuesday is orientation. The kicker...Its here on the property AND its $40.00 annually. I need to get the matabolism moving and I would love to walk but by the time I get home and dinner, and the baby and the kids and DH...this way I can go on my lunch hour! Yay! I'm excited. We'll see how long I stick with it.

[Jenny]

That's awesome Lynn!! I wish my employer offerd a gym :lol:

[Momto3]

That's awesome Lynn!! I wish my employer offerd a gym :lol:

I heard they do Jenny! The bike ride with the kids, the back yard with the kids, the park with the kids...Man you are always on the go!

So true. I should be skinny like a rail for all the activities I do. It's my night-time eating that's getting me. But I've been doing really well recently. I hope I can keep it up.

[newmami]

Jenny, I can totally see you with a store like that one from You've got mail!!!
My ideal would be to run a B&B.... the other one (if I was single) is the one from the Lady from Passport to Europe and Latin America (I secretly hate her!!!)

So that is where that foul smell came from.... THANKS SHANNON!!!.... he he I am glad you joined this addictive place.... must be because I can complain, vent and say stupid things without anyone caring

I am almost ready to go home, gotta fax some statements :evil:

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

[without]

girls I have been looking up "top 10 places to mee men" on the net and almost didn't notice its time for me to go home!!! :oops:


See you on Monday!

[lexsmama]

Have a good weekend, Claudia!

Lynn, I'll join the one here on campus and we'll see how long we can go! Our orientation is next week, and it's 30.00 a month for faculty/staff, but worth it.

[Luna]

anyone notice this crazy thread is almost up to 800 pages??? Ya'll are nuts.

oh, and phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht

(excuse me :oops: )

[lexsmama]

P---HA! HA! I almost spit my coffee... :lol:

[Jenny]

Very cool Ashley! I'm sure I won't be using weights at all, but I just want it to walk and then run...


Lunabug! Spray next time you break wind!

[Momto3]

Oh geez now we are left to wonder until Monday!

By Claudia...by Pam!

[Jenny]

SO....

I'm kinda pissed at my mom. She lives 90 miles south, so not too far away. But she rarely, like maybe once every 4 months, drives up to see the trio. She knows how hard it is on me to drive down there, and I just can't do it, her house isn't baby-proofed, etc... and she knows (at least I think she knows) how badly my dh and I need a date night. But yet she never offers to come up and watch the kids so we can go out. BUT...she watches my sister's 2 daughters ALL THE FRIGGING TIME! Sure, they live 5 minutes away, but man....she has 3 other grandchildren, and a daughter who could use some help. I haven't talked to her in 2 days (that's like a record for us) and I'm afraid to call her b/c I might blow up on her.

I think I need to talk to my sister. Maybe she can say something to my mom? I don't know.

[Luna]

Lunabug! Spray next time you break wind!

tee hee. . .I'm not the stinky kind of farter (you know, silent but deadly). Just loud and obnoxious.

Thought it particularly appropriate since I'm just an occasional butt-in kinda a person. . .I can't keep up with you guys ;)

Yeah. Maybe she can go, "When was the last time you were up to see Jenny and the kids? I bet they could use a date night" Would that be too forward for her?

Thank you! Thank you very much! I'll be here all week.

[lexsmama]

:lol: You girls crack me up...

[sja1508]

LMAO!!!!!

We are having a great weekend. First off, Tara got a new car 2008 Nissan Altima. The thing is pimped. You talk to it and it will call someone, operate your gps, make your coffee, etc. It has a rear view camera so she can see the neighborhood kids toys she is always running over LOL!!! It's black with tan leather, sunroof and spoiler. I'm jealous. (oh yea, she said "don't worry, we'll get you a new minivan soon") :shock: Thanks.......

We are going to a 2 yr old's bday party tomorrow, so that should be fun.

My dream job btw would be to buy property, fix it up and design it and then flip it.

Oh, and I passed gas, but I brought a Stick Up with me......

[sarahlynn]

OMG yay for a new car..that sounds so cool..hehe you get a mini van

[sophie'smom]

I want a new car too. I told DH I would trade my mercedes for a 2008 Camry :oops: I drove that thing and it is AWESOME, it actually feels like driving the mercedes but cheaper, lol.

It is only had the control panel that tells you WTF is wrong with the car, that would be super!!

This weekend it's been pretty fun!! SD came on Friday and she was in the best moods of all even tho AF was visiting her, lol. Well AF is visiting this household :shock:

The date went wonderful, the kids had some much fun we will repeat it. We went to teh movies, then to eat, then to US Play and the skating, we came home at 11pm and were POOPED. I slept until 12noon :oops: but I am glad she had fun.

We went to drop her off and the evil wasn't home, she is dating again, without even getting a divorce :roll: so the evil called this morning after killing one of her friends, like she usually does when she is dating someone new. SO she told DH that her friend had neck surgery and she spent the night taking care of "her", DH told her whatever, where is SD, she said: Home by herself. DH was fummed because SD apparently spent the night home alone :shock: what a f'ing biotch!

SD is home now, she was playing with DD but Sophie got grumpy and I put her for a nap, we are waiting for her to wake up and go grocery shopping.

[Momto3]

Stacy - Yay for the new car (well, ok, yay Tara!) But you'll get your new minivan too one day! ((snicker))

Cecelia - Glad the date went well!


Morning ladies!!!

Hey where is Bel? She usually greets the day!
