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

[without]

Crossed my mind but even "I" fallow the 3rd date rule! LOL Also... I worry about how a guy who is 6'7 has sex with some one who is only 5'4 LOL. My eyes hit at about his elbow. LOL

[lexsmama]

Wow, I'm surprised you didn't jump his bones! :wink: :lol:

Sweet talk is the best!

[bel]

Claudia,,,, more details hu? LOL I kissed him on the first date (shock). LOL He was sweet and help my hand and kissed the top of my hand and also held the palm of my hand to his face at one point. (he seems very romantic lol) He gushed about how pretty I am and he went on and on about my beautiful my smile is. It was so strange to be with some one who gave me complaments lol

Im in love too:feellove:

[bel]

[brcarrie]

That is so great Pam! I am so glad he was nice and it sounds like you guys hit it off.

[newmami]

:feellove: OMG Pam!!! I am just melting here!!! handsome, funny, a talker, gentelman, romantic... YOU GOT THE WHOLE PACKAGE!!!
Yay for kissing him!!!! :smooch:

:cloud9:

Carrie, DH also hates chick flicks, but I just love them!!!
we are also going out on the weekend for dinner, sort of a late Vday celebration or whatever you can call that, when you share dinner with 3 wiggly kids.

[lexsmama]

I hope you have a great weekend, Bel! Parties sound like so much fun!

[newmami]

Have a wonderful weekend Bel!!!

[lexsmama]

What's on everyone's linch plate today?

I have pears, tuna and crackers.

[Momto3]

Grilled chicken and lettuce...:hissy:

[sarahlynn]

claudie i have mondy off with you :)

my mama and son are taking me to KFC for lunch..YAY!!

[lexsmama]

Mmm... Fun. I added a dash of ranch to my tuna for flavor. I'm so jonesin for some fries right now. I don't mean baked either. Deep fried OreIda crinkles. :sniffle: :shame:

[lexsmama]

ha ha, I said linch. :laugh:

[without]

He just called me... I asked him if he has "buyers remorse" in the light of day. LOL (in other words does he regreat yesterday now 24 hours later) he said no and laughed He said when I walked around the cornner to open the door he was in shock...he said my pictures don't show 1/2 how pretty I am. (giggle) Hummm....I just may say OK to the 2nd date! LOL

[lexsmama]

OMGosh, Pam! How sweet!

[Momto3]

I talk to my computer screen. sometimes I will read a thread and then say outloud what I really think, but I would never put it in writing. I'm horrible.

[lexsmama]

why are you horrible? for omitting some possible tacky comments? nah.

[newmami]

:laugh: Lynn!!

OMG Pam, I am just a little too :vibes: about Rod... he sounds like a keeper, so I hope things just get better!!!

We went out for lunch (a coworker and me) and I chomped on a burrito I was craving :shame:

I was talking to one of my coworkers, about babies, and she told me about her M/C a long time ago, and how she is not sure they made the right decision not to have kids, etc, and we almost ended up crying together... GOD I am a mess!!!

[lexsmama]

:bigeyes: How sad for your coworker. Makes me want to tear up, and I didn't even hear the story.

Glad you got your burrito. Must have hit the spot.

Oh, we finally learned the word "No" in our household. It's so funny how lex uses the word. "NooooOOooo." lol.:laugh:

[sja1508]

That's funny Ashley. We brought Zack to bed with us this morning around 5:45 and he was kicking me in the legs and then rolled over and was kicking Tara in the back. I said to Zack "stop it" and he said NO. I was like "do you want a spanking" (idle threat) and he said NO. All the kid knows is NO!!! LOL!

[sarahlynn]

OMG pam yay for the date...sounds like a great guy..when is the next date???? we want details woman details..

cluadia lunch sounded good..im sorry about your coworkers M/C how hard :(

stacy where have you been

Bel are you back yet

how much do you ladies think would be a reasonably budget each month for DH for food/fast food eating out at work?>

[newmami]

Sarah, why not bringing food from home??? if I wanted to eat out every day, it would be about $50 a week!! :shock:

AF is knocking on my door.... I don't want to open the door!!! :crossed:

So I told my coworker that she would be an AWESOME mom (and I mean it, she is soooo cool), even if she doesn't get PG (she is 45). But I hope she gets the chance to get PG, because she obviously wants the whole deal.

Oh the No word.... Dani got into that too, everything was NO, until she grew out of it. THERE IS HOPE LADIES!!!

[lexsmama]

:laugh: The things I have to look forward to.

Bel said she wasn't coming back after lunch, I think. Getting ready for a costume party.

[sarahlynn]

I know claudia he could easily bring lunch from home..but peer pressure he is far to senstive and always goes with friends to eat junk..so..i thought $100 a month?? is that to little..i mean he could eat out sometimes and also take lunch with him..i need him to stick to a budget **** it.. i hate money ugh..

[lexsmama]

that's not too bad at all, sarah.

[sja1508]

I think $100 is a litle tight unless he is going to bring food from hom at least 1/2 the time. Average meal at mcdonald's or something like it is $6-7. So everyday for a month would be approx 20 meals so I'd say $150. Can you get him to limit eating out for lunch to 3 times a week? Then $100 is plenty.

[newmami]

Totally agree with Stacy, $100 sounds reasonable, and he knows once he spends all his money, he needs to bring food from home

Dh is going out tomorrow morning with his son, which means I am taking the kids to the supermarket by myself... is it bad that this things make me happy?????

[willsmama]

Hi ladies. :)
Happy Friday. :)

[newmami]

Hey Tracy, are you back with us???????
You and your DH are the cutest couple, no wonder why Will is so adorable!!

[lexsmama]

no way, clau. No reason not to be happy about some things like that! :)

Hi Tracy! :hi:

[sarahlynn]

YUP YUP very cute couple...:)

no cluadia that is not a bad thing ;)

i actually miss hutning seasong and gettin the kids and the home all to myself

[willsmama]

I can't be online as much as I used to be, but I am going to try to stop in as much as I can.

Will is going to be 1 in ONE MONTH!

GULP!

How do I have smileys?

[Momto3]

Omgosh Tracy! I can't believe it. I remember when he was like 7 months old. Geesh! Stop that boy from growing would you!?!?!?!

[willsmama]

I know! :( :(

[Momto3]

Grrrr I STILL can't see half the frickin smileys

[willsmama]

so the bday party was the biggest I have ever seen in my life I mean like HUGE! Im still impress!!Ill post pics later

We had such an awesome weekend! saturday afternoon a went to my Godmother´s house for her bday party only four people but very nice, tea, muffins crossants! yum and for dinner we went with the bunch (read santi ceci ana and my MIL) to the shopping! yum again, yeah Im a cow:rolleyes:

Yesterday we went up at 8 yes 8 because we need to take the yellow fever vaccinnes asap and a doctor (friend of us) called saying hehad some for us, to run asap since the place was crowed already, talk about being sleepy! then we came home, went to the pool it was sooo hot!! and then I cooked spaghetis carbonara for the whole family!! then nap, pool, dinner bed!

Yes, yes Its monday:hissy:

[sja1508]

Morning ladies!! We had a pretty good weekend. We went to a 1 yr old bday party yesterday at the park and Zack had a blast with the slides. Also, we are on our 3rd weekend in a row of getting him to take naps in his crib. In the past, we have always made a bed on the couch with blankets and struggled to get him down, but now we go upstairs and sing and rock and down he goes! It makes things so much easier for Tara and I because we can actually get things done and not have to be so quiet. He's always done really well at bedtime with the crib, so I don't know why naptime was such a struggle, but he's getting used to it now.

The 2 classes I registered for start on March 3rd. I'm so nervous. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've been to college??? Like back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth!!!

[lexsmama]

Morning!

You'll do great, Stacy!

Glad the parties went well, Bel!

[bel]

WTG on week end naps Stacy! Im a mess with santi he still sleeps in our bed whenever he wants at the time he desides!:dunno:
Talk about spoilen brat!!:shame:
Hey Ash how is baby lex doing? is he full ricovered? and your DH?

[lexsmama]

lex is great. He said nose and shoes this weekend and is so happy nowadays.

Michael's working on it. He's ready to know the results of his bloodwork and know what's going on. I did remember the disease they tested for finally: sarcoidosis. Weird thing, but he's scared to death.

[bel]

geeeezzzzzz this is going to be a slooooooooooooooow monday :ohno:

:sniffle:

[lexsmama]

yep, it sure is... I'm working on last minutes for our meeting from 10-2 tomorrow. Ugh.

[~Kristen & Ava~]

MORNING EVERYONE!! Congrats sarah on putting in your notice, glad everyone had a great weekend!! And YAY for Lex saying new words!! I didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Saturday I ran a few errands for my mom b/c she had been sick and a few friends and their kids came over to watch dexter that night. Yesterday, we sat around the house and did nothing...I even got to take a 4hr, uninterrupted nap yesterday!! Then, last night DH had some friends over for a WWE pay-per-view...and I went to bed early. So, a non-evenful weekend here for me. I just called the pedi's office and left a message about changing Ava's formula b/c shes been so horribly gassy and constipated...nothing is helping. I changed bottles, give mylicon drops...and for the constipation the pedi said to put karo syrup in her bottle...thats not helping either! OH YEA...MONDAYS SUCK!

[bel]

I "need" to update Santi´s nursery (is just a cornet attached to my huge bedroom) into a toddler room! God help me and this kid moves to his own bed soon! Im lokking into walmart and what everything!! Thanks God I live so far or I would be broke! :P

[lexsmama]

I'm sorry you're having gas problems, Kristen. We did too. The only thing that helped was soy, mylicon, prune juice, and early servings of cereal. I hope Ava and you get some relief soon!

What does Santi like, Bel?

[~Kristen & Ava~]

I'm sorry you're having gas problems, Kristen. We did too. The only thing that helped was soy, mylicon, prune juice, and early servings of cereal. I hope Ava and you get some relief soon!

What does Santi like, Bel?

They wont let me change her formula...and DH wont let me either unless they tell me its okay b/c of her prematurity...grr! Early servings of cereal...what do you mean?

[lexsmama]

Well, at about 3 months old or so, we tried a little watered down cereal. He hated it, so mil got him a jar of the gerber 2s rice cereal with applesauce and put it into a feeder. It helped lex's hunger and gas a lot.

I forgot that Ava was so small, or I'd tell you to do what we did and just change it yourselves. This is how we did it. Take it and do with it what you need to, okay?

We called the dr and they told us it was too soon, but we changed him ourselves. We started on the regular old enfamil lipil, and he got so constipated. Then the dr changed him to gentlease. The baby wouldn't eat. He'd starve himself over that stuff. So, we tried one more before going to soy. We've had little problems since. A little mylicon when needed and a little prune juice/ water combo when stopped up was all we needed after that.

[without]

Hey girls! I am back at work and getting cought up on all the stuff I missed out on last week. Its slow here to day with it beig a holiday!

I missed you all!

[lexsmama]

Missed you, too Pam! Sorry it's so slow. You could come help me out with the meeting stuff for tomorrow! lol.

Okay, oatmeal, ravioli or soup for lunch??

[KimJ]

ravioli!

[Momto3]

Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've been to college??? Like back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth!!!

I believe Tyler did mention something about that...

[lexsmama]

:laugh: Lynn, you so funny.

Went with the ravioli.

Girls, you're missing out on all the fun around here. lol. We're having random power outages in our bldg becasue they're working across the quad in the business building. They "didn't think it'd be a big deal since it was during lunch hour." Lucky education classes are getting cancelled. lol.

[lexsmama]

Boy, it's a slow day today...

[Momto3]

I"m off but the babe is napping. Taking her to the doctor a 2:30 cuz she has a rash just under her lip in the corner of her mouth. I called that nurse and they want to see her...of course.

[bel]

k you girls Im back we had a nice lunch at home and then I hit the pool all by my self for 30mins! sooooooooo nice until santi saw me and started cryng to come but it was so hot and the sun so intense I went out and cudle with him for a little while, then came here but the stupid electricity went off:rolleyes:

you ladies Im about to post the bday party pics with santi in his superman costume go check! TIA

[sja1508]

I believe Tyler did mention something about that...

Yea, I was thinking that maybe you could send Shelley up here and we could go to college together. I won't graduate until Dec 2011. She could let me cheat off her and I'll let her drive the Altima. (don't tell Tara) :wink:

Sorry baby girl is feeling bad. Give her big kisses from her man!

[Momto3]

We got some bactraban from the doc and some mumble jumble about not sure...bacteria...impetigo...fungus...not likely any but still, here is a topical antibiotic for 7 to 10 days 3 times a day.

I'm dying my hair right now. Intense copper red. I love hair dye. Hair is like an accessory to me. Alsways chnging it up.

[bel]

hello ladies!!!!!!
saratu you evil! are ever coming back?!?!??!
Pam come back or i will torture you in MSN!!
Ash how is you life doing?? Good luck at your meeting today!
Lynn I love changes as well! I dont do so extremes, but a hair cut or new highlights make me happy for like a week :P

[Momto3]

Ippy sider.

Do you know what that is?


It is Katelyn wanting me to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider and use her stuffed piggy to do the hand motions...I LOVE this kid!

[bel]

Good lord ladies please tell my this forum isnt dying as I think it is!!! geez, were are you all?!??!?

[brcarrie]

Claudia I posted some new pics of Isabel in the pictures section. I just have to change my sig now. I worked at my parents office yesterday. It was fun for a change of work. Plus I got paid twice from my job and from there. Yay for double pay!!!

[newmami]

Morning!!!
I am trying to catch up at work, apparently ALL my customers worked yesterday, so my to do list is pretty long :wtf:

YAY SARAH!! for telling them no more work on the weekends!!!

Weekend was OK, it was a little warm and yesterday it rained for a while, but I got to enjoy the kids and watch Cars like 10 times during the weekend... the highlight of the day was that Chris stood up without assistant couple of times!! :yeah:

Tell me if I am overreacting... we went to have lunch on Saturday. Sk had couple of those plastic containers with a cheese sauce (like 6) and he was placing them in front of him, Dani reached out to get one, and he quickly removed them so she couldn't have one, with the clear intent of not sharing... Dani looked at me with "the lip" and her eyes were like :crying:... it made me so upset I told him that was an awful thing to do... then I told Dani I would get her some Cheese sauce and then she was OK.
I told SK that was IT, that he almost made Danielle cry and that was not acceptable in my book, and that I want him away from her... I was sooo PO after lunch, that I said no to shopping for the kids (even though we were already at the outlet place) and we just went home. Sunday I was still upset, and I am still upset about the whole deal.... :po:

And Dh has been in a mood lately, we barely speak.... he is OK with it, so I guess I have to be ok... I told him about the idea of me working nights Part time, so I can stay with the kids... went something like this

Me: so I was thinking about getting a PT job at nights, work like 9pm - 1am, so I can stay home with the kids
DH: do you want to ruin our marriage?
Me: why are you so sure it would be ruined?
DH: well, we will see each other only like 3 hrs a day, is that enough for a marriage?
me: (clearly upset) well nevermind them, Forget about what I said, I will suck it up then and continue to be MISERABLE

That was it... nothing more was said, the WHOLE time... no I am sorry you are that miserable, or anything, just a PO husband who BTW wanted sex that night :eyeroll: and then went on like nothing happened

I don't know if I am upset anymore, I am getting to the point where I don't care about it... if that is how he wants things to be, then FINE... but don't come back asking for some loving, when you are uncapable of giving some....

**Sigh*** why do I even thought he would change?????

Oh yeah, now he wants me to make a decision on what I want for my bday... I am sooo tempted to say NOTHING!!!! I don't want ANYTHING from you!!

As far as I am concerned, this is not how a marriage should be, right???:ohno:

[lexsmama]

Morning. Won't be on til after 3. Big partner meeting today! hugs bunches!

[bel]

awww CLau it makes me so sad seeing you like this...I can see how unhappy this whole situation makes you :comfort: Im here if you need to talk
Try just to avoid SK, what can I say :dunno:
Have you drop the idea of a day care? how is bankrupticy going?

[newmami]

Bel, we thought about the daycare at home, but I do not have enough space to properly care for other kids, no back yard.... with the bankruptcy, it will take a while until we are able to get credit again...

I am just tired of not having a partner, someone who cares about me, how I feel and what I think... :(

Anyways, your siggy picture is lovely Bel... off to see more!!

CARRIE!! I saw the pictures!! Isable is a doll!

[sarahlynn]

Aww Bel glad to hear the party went well..how fun..did you getpics?

Stacy you cant be that old? or can you be????

i was up most of the night with a stuffed up lucea..i finally just took her to bed and let her nurse all night as she wished..ugh im tired..

i saw my sister last night ..she has a little pot belly..she is so cute..this is a girl who doesnt eat much..eats like a darn bird..adn last night she topped me..and ate and ate and ate...i was so happy for her..put on the pounds mama..she has her next U/S tomarow..so YAY i told her to have the sex put into a envelope so i can peeeeeeek!

[bel]

saratuuuuuuuuuuuuu finally! yes pics from the party and from our pool are in two threads :wink:

[brcarrie]

Thank you Claudia

I wonder if your husband has a thing about women working? Like he will be jealous if you get to stay home and he does not.

[bel]

Oscar would Carrie... thanks God I couldnt live without working :rolleyes:

[sarahlynn]

Bel you been kissen any more arse lately :lol:

[bel]

looots of them!!! since you left me alone for soooooo long HA!

[Momto3]

Claudia - When your DH asks if you want to ruin the marriage by you working nights, tell him its already ruined by you working days. And then don't give a crap about what he says and do it anyways. Do whatever it takes to make YOU and the kids happy.

[brcarrie]

It is good that you like to work Bel. I know my DH is like that sometimes when I am off work.

[sarahlynn]

Claudia - When your DH asks if you want to ruin the marriage by you working nights, tell him its already ruined by you working days. And then don't give a crap about what he says and do it anyways. Do whatever it takes to make YOU and the kids happy.

what did i miss? claudia are you gettin a new job? changin hours?

[Momto3]

what did i miss? claudia are you gettin a new job? changin hours?


Claudia wants to get a part time job working nights so she can stay home with the kids during the day. Her DH doesn't want her to because he says it will ruin their marriage.

[bel]

Im with Lynn Clau! do whatever is best for YOU! if you are happy, the happier you marriage will be!
k ladies see you soon...Im going home for lunch after that I have schudeled (sp?) manicure and pedicure session (I am in a very needy situation LOL)
see you in two hours :wink:
Dont talk too much....that havent happened in a while uh? LOL

[newmami]

Thanks ladies for the support. I don't see the validity of the "you will ruin our marriage", considering it is already ruined...

I will do some research and see if it is duable, to work those hours, and how much will they pay me

[without]

Men!??!! They just don't seem to get it some times Claudia! I say if you feel like this is best for your family press the issue with your DH Claudia! If you have to tell him... that you don't see how changing hours and jobs could make your marraige any worse off than it alredy is!


OK ladies... my new problem lol!

My mom baby sits for me when I have a date. Problem is she also uses this to control me. Makes sure we don't see each other to much in one week or that we don't stay out to late blah blah blah I hate that! Also....Rod wants to go away next month to a little bed and breakfast in the mountains (about an hour from here) just the two of us. (please I don't want a Christain debate on weather its right or not I know morally its wrong but right now I don't care lol) I really want to go but my parents would never go for it! I don't know how to date a guy with out it being my parents who are controlling the whole thing! My parents are super ridged about dating do's and don't. Though I remember when they were dating I walked in on them playing good cowboy and bad cowboy. LOL My mom was the bad cowboy in the black hat (and on top Ugh!). How/what do I do!!!

[sarahlynn]

OMG pam that sounds like so much fun....a bed and breakfast...eek how romantic...could you lie .. ok ok i know that is bad..say your going with some girlfriends??? thats whati would do..but im bad like that LOL!!

claudia i htink working nights would be a great idea...so you could be home with your babies..just like i quit my weekend job..i needed more baby hours..and family time..

[without]

I so thought about lieing but I have never had a girls night before this so I think they could see through that lie lol

[sarahlynn]

hmmm well i have no other ideas but lieing :) or just say "i know you dont agree with this..but i really want to go" you could sorta lie..like tell them other couples are going? some other friends? and so on..a group thangy..

hmmm

[Momto3]

Pam - Would your sister be able to keep Morgan and your secret for the weekend?

[newmami]

Oi Pam, what about sending Morgan to my house, so I can babysit for you???
Anyways, I don't have good advise because I would tell my parents to back off, I am a grown woman who makes her own decisions, and I do not need their approval to date or sleep with a man!!

But you cannot tell that to your parents, right??? :biggrin:

[without]

my sister still lives at home with mom and dad


and so on..a group thangy..


LOL I was thinking dirty when I read that!

I really want to go I'll think of some thing! I know this summer we are going together to Branson and Silver Dollar City over night but we are taking are kids and geting a room for Morgan and I and a Room for Rod and Holland and my parents won't mind that at all. They know we are going to make wild monkey love with the kids around. LOL

[without]

I would tell my parents to back off, I am a grown woman who makes her own decisions, and I do not need their approval to date or sleep with a man!!


If I said that they would say fine if yoru such a big girl find your own baby sitter. LOL

[newmami]

That is why I said you cannot tell that to your parents.... ugh Pam!! I don't know... have you talked to them about it?
What about your sister staying at your house caring for Morgan, will she go for that?

I need to put couple of things for sale on Craig's list... can someone please send me some motivation??????

[without]

:vibes::vibes:Motor-vation coming your way:vibes::vibes:


Humm... I have to think of some thing! I may just be honest with my sister and see what she thinks! She and her best girl friend could spend the night at my house with Morgan and I would be willing to pay them $ may keep her from talking. :biggrin::lol:


Pamela likes Rod!!!:party:Pamela snoged Rod (AKA kissed for non HP fans!) :smooch:

[sarahlynn]

YOU SNOOOOOOGED !!! OMG YAY

you so need to go darn it make up any excuse...

[bellie]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SO, there is a helicopter hovering around my house, over and over again, and there are
cops walking around wearing blue gloves and walking german shepards. Why did dh just have to leave for work? Ah yes....Another reason I cannot wait to put my house up for sale. (sorry, posted in random as well)

[without]

Oh my gosh how scary! Do you know why they are out there!

We did snog!:vibes: it was GREAT lol

[bellie]

Dh asked a cop on the way out, and all they could "officially" tell him was someone's house got broken into.

[newmami]

OMG Bellie!! how scary. I hate when I hear helicopters a little too close to home :eek:

Pam... :shock: Kissing a man on the second date?? how dare you???? :laugh:
J/K, I am happy for you!!! :rockon:

[without]

[willsmama]

[bel]

[sarahlynn]

omg hwo scary..yuck!! stay safe


PAM YOU WHOOORE lol aww i love you...more snoogin more snoggin more moremore..

[newmami]

Ok Pam, the thing is that we are all jealous of you... the excitement of the first date, the first kiss, the butterflies in the stomach...... awww!! :wub:

I SLEPT with Dh the day I met him IRL...... :eek: who is the whore now????

[without]

OK girls I am so bad! I wanted to see what his EX looks like. I so wish I hadn't looked her up on myspace! She is so pretty. Ugh! why is he with me :(

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=289094119

[newmami]

Pam, I cannot see myspace from work, but there is a GOOD reason why she is the Ex, right???

[Momto3]

She is average. Nothing to get excited about and like Claudia said...a reason she is the ex.

\
Don't get bothered by it. This is new and exciting for you guys!

[bel]

because you are beautiful outside AND inside :wink:

[without]

she is thin :(

[bel]

darn it! stop it Pam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is a biotch

[without]

true that Bel! She broke his heart!

[newmami]

she is The Ex!!!!!!!

Pam, if you see me and DH's ex wife, you will not find ANYTHING in common, and I mean ANYTHING!! we are completely different physically, emotionally, the way we were raised, our values, our likings... we are the opposite completely

After I met DH I kept wondering how come he can love 2 people that are the opposite.... after a while I realized that the way I am, my personality and everything are very very similar to Dh's mom.... what did he saw on the ex?? rummor has it that it was a rebound, and that marriage had to do A LOT with DH's insecurities... All his friends say that he is better off without her!!!

[without]

I know your right and I know my insides are much better than hers. :) I need a some self confidance. LOL

[lexsmama]

Back!

Oh Pam, stop it. K? There's a reason she's the EX. You are beautiful on the outside AND inside, and HE AGREES!

Off to read today's posts now.

[sarahlynn]

awww Pam your way cuter and have a much better personality..I KNOW IT!!

[lexsmama]

Yep. I agree. You're way cuter.

If you could pop Morgan on a plane, I'd take her a while!

[without]

Gosh I was looking up "how soon is to soon to think your in love on google" just for the heck of it hehe (don't get any idea's girls). Its crazy all the opionions out there on that subject. I mean if you feel it you feel it don't you? I mean you love a person or you don't so how can there be a right time or a not right time? Can you really stop yourself from loving some one. Sure you can stop yourself from saying it but that doesn't mean you don't feel it. Pamela's deep thought of the day LOL

[newmami]

I truly believe that out there is the person you are meant to be with, and when you meet him/her, you will just know it... it will feel "right". Time has nothing to do with it, it is destiny!

[without]

Though I agree with what a lot of the sights were say "you don't want to toss the word love around to every man you meet" on the other hand to put a number of months you need to be dating before you say the "L" word seems silly because like Claudia said I think you just know. You can feel a kindred spirt. What got me looking it up was that Rod said... Will I scare you off if I tell you I am falling for you... (My answer was no giggle) We have only been on two dates and been talking for two montsh (or almost) I know he wanted to use the "L" word and that made me look up how soon is too soon. Me... I feel very strong for him but am still a a little scared. LOL

[lexsmama]

Yep, you just know it. Dh knew withing 2 weeks that he was marrying me. Weird, but true.

[lexsmama]

Oh dang... That's the line I got! You're in for it, sweetie. Michael was the same way, and it freaked me out at first. It's nice to have one of "those" guys sometimes. You know, the ones that tell you you're beautiful, open doors for you, let you lay in their lap during a movie and run his fingers thru your hair... Sigh. Man, I wish I had the good ol' days back.

[newmami]

I need me one of those men...........

[Momto3]

Morning my beautiful ladies! Its hump day (don't remind DH, mmmk?) We sold another piece on ebay. This is getting easier...Wheew.

DH had another interview on Monday and the guy was really interested and said he had one more person to interview but he thought he would be offering DH the job and we would hear by the end of this week. Keep your fingers crossed. After the one call he never heard back from the other company. He has been working most of last week and this week so that is good, but he is still looking to change companys.

Kids are good. My boss gave me a dollar to go buy him and me a lotto ticket. I just LOVE my boss.


Oh and I don't know if you saw my post in Member Market (I know Pam did) but we are in search of the bunny on the right. Its a Carter's Thank Heaven for Little Girls bunny and Katelyn sleeps with it every night and it is getting worn. I NEED to find another one. Help my research queens!

Morning!

I have my trainer assessment at 3 today! Yay! I just hope I can get my hip in check before then today.

I have it in a duck, Lynn, but I'll look for it. ;-)

[~Kristen & Ava~]

Morning everyone!! Sorry I haven't been on here a lot lately...taking care of Ava is hard work...especially with the formula issues we are having right now. Yesterday I had my 6wk PP checkup...all looked great! And I went to the gym...MAN am I sore today! Sarah, I hope that your night went better last night than the night before! Bel, it sounds like you had fun last night! Lynn-no need to remind my husband its hump day here either ;) And lexsmama (sorry I'm not good with names yet) I hope that all goes well for you this afternoon!

[RachaelM]

Good morning girls! So, anyone want to spill the beans on what they're getting their swap mama? I've never done one before & I really don't have any idea where to start.

[~Kristen & Ava~]

Good morning girls! So, anyone want to spill the beans on what they're getting their swap mama? I've never done one before & I really don't have any idea where to start.

I did a swap in Feb Due Dates...but it was a gift for baby off of their registry or whatever...i have NO CLUE what to get for this swap!!

[lexsmama]

Thanks, Kristen. I'll put my name in my siggy if it helps! Anything to help out a mama.

I'm going to have fun with it. We have some sweet little local shops that do great things, and I make some jewelry and sell it locally, too. As for my little one, I'm going to see what I can find. Our pharmacy does some local vendors, so I can get homeade blankets, clothes, bags, adn toys. We have a bakery, but it's not my fave. I like my from home for now, looking for backing, bakery items I have. I've got all the stuff ready to go, I just need the financial help.

[without]

Sarah how was the Bar-B-Q? Yumm

Girls I hate hate hate dating! Its such a roller coster ride! I want a boring ol' stuck in a rut marrage where it may not exciting and butterflys 24/7 but you have some one to share your life with and some one to sleep with at night. I had a moment last night! I talked to my dad and he sent me into a panic that if I were myself around Rod that I would scare him off. Well... I can say one thing about me and Rod and thats that I have been myself 100% and my dad was warning me that I am going to scare him off. So by the time I talked to Rod my dad had me going crazy and I think Rod could hear the panic in my voice that OH no I don't want to lose you yet crazy sound. It didn't help that he had to get off really quickly (the phone don't think dirty lol) because his brother sent him an email that said answer your phone mom is in the hospital. He called me at 11 to tell me he had made it to the hospital and was going to be spending the night at the lake house. I thought that it was sweet of him to call me in the midst of the crisis of his mom being so sick. Now today i feel so stupid for getting so upset and I am worried sick about his mom. Rod lost his dad about 15 months ago and it almost killed Rod. Rod is the baby of the family and his family is his life. He just can't lose his mom too! He needs more time...time to heal! I am so worried about him. See... if he were my husband I could be there with him instead of an hour and a half away. Darn this dating thing! I want to be there for him!

[bel]

Pam forget your dad and be your self! you are an amazing person and wont ever loose anyone because of that! Hope rod´s mom gets better!
cheens up girl!! you are awesome!!! so is him, stop worring!!!!:tongue:

[bel]

hump day:sofunny::sofunny::sofunny:

do you really have a day setted???? :chinscratch:

[without]

Your right Bel... I know you are. But dad had me going crazy last night and I wrote Rod this email that was so paniced and I wish I hadn't. He hasn't got it yet and I wrote a 2nd one explaining what had happened with Dad and I and how I was sorry for the emotional letter. I think he'll understand or at least I hope he does.

[sarahlynn]

Pam youve been yourself around him and that seems to be what he likes huh? or would he have called you amidst a family crisis? i think your dad is just trying to jerk your chain and make things difficult..hang in there be there for rod and be yourself..

BEL OMG AT THE PM You sent me!!

and OMG i forgot about the swap shi t when are the gifts due to be sent out..

[lexsmama]

Has he asked for you to be there yet? Could you go check on him? Can you cook for them? Just listen and hope he'll open up and heal.

I know it's hard, but you two will endure, it looks like. He sounds like such a sincere and wonderful man. Don't listen to you dad, go with your gut. And take Rod's compliments and help rebuild your self-esteem, k? He sees something in you that you don't. Dang, I hit a weird soap box. Sorry.

[lexsmama]

march 1. Opening is the 17th. So, more time.

[bel]

eekkk I should send those asap! I could take a lot of time from here! :shock:

[lexsmama]

do you want me to send your package to florida or to paraguay bel? which would be better? (you know, the chocolate one.. lol.)

[bel]

LOL I was wondering if you were talking about sending me your swap lol
to paraguay of course honey!

[bel]

WTH is Stacy?? I havent seen her in ages , not even in MSN...
Miss you girl :crying:

[newmami]

Morning ladies!! lots of things happened

Pam, don't let your dad poison your mind, You are a wonderful woman, and Rod knows that. He would not get scared of you, that is just BS... your dad is probably being protective of you, because he doesn't want to see you hurt, but he protects in a very poor way
When he calls, ask if there is anything you can do for him, and remind him you are there for him... give him time to be with his mom, and tell him you understand that he needs to be with her. He will appreciate that, I am sure

Lynn, glad Dh is working and looking for something else more secure. I have my fingers crossed for him!!!

Ash, sorry your back hurts, I hope it feels better soon

Sarah, big hugs, because I know how you feel about the lack of romance and all that... you are not alone sister!!

Sorry about Ava... when DD was constipated, the Dr told us to add 1 oz of water to her formula, and that did the trick. I hope you are able to find a formula that agrees with her tummy

So yesterday I decided to be nice to Dh, I hugged and kissed him when he came back from work... he was still giving me the cold treatment (whatever dude :wtf:) so I am going to keep being nice and make him feel like crap... I don't know what is his problem, but I am tired of being the one who has to make him happy all the time....
I do have something to tell him, I am writing him a letter on what I want for my bday, he will be :shocker:
For the swap, I am not good on the bakery department, so I decided to find local things that I can send... something besides Mickey Mouse!!!

[sarahlynn]

good than there is still time to shopp...ill shop for my swap mama and my new neice/nephew at the same time..eeeeeek im gonna be an aunti in 4 months..again

[sarahlynn]

claudia kill him with kindness....

[lexsmama]

Kill him with kindness Clau. He'll come around.

[RachaelM]

Thanks for the swap suggestions, lexsmama. I'm so worried about disappointing my mama. I want to find something supercool! LOL

[bel]

I vote for kindness too! more because is better for you hon!!

[lexsmama]

I bet she'll love whatever you do!

[without]

I am with the girls kill him in kindness! LOL

OK so I am a little calmer now but am still really worried about his mom. He hasn't asked me to come there so I don't want to do that without an invite because I have never met his family. On the other hand when we next talk I will ask if there is any thing I can do for him. If he had to leave his house in a hurry then he may need me to go and check on his dog or some thing LOL

So... If I don't here from him buy noon is it ok for me to call him and just leave him a message telling him I was worried about his mom and wanted to check and see how she was doing. That I know he is busy but call when he has time to give an update? I don't want to call earlyer than noon because he could have been up all night with her.

[RachaelM]

Pam, I think that's a great idea. Wait til noon, then just "check in". Not too obtrusive, but lets him know you're thinking about him.

Claudia, I think you're right, be a sweetie, which will just emphasize what a poopyhead he's being....

[newmami]

Yes Pam, leave him a message asking about his mom and about how is he doing, and to let you know if there is anything you can do for him.

I am sad that where I live, the only "local" thing screams Disney

[lexsmama]

That's a great idea, Pam. That'll open it up for you and him.

I like Disney. I wish I were your swap mama. lol. I can't wait to see who has me. lol.

[Momto3]

I am with the girls kill him...

I totally agree! :biggrin:

[newmami]

I totally agree! :biggrin:

Baaawhh!! i just realized that one...... PAM, will you help me dispose of the body???? :lol::lol::lol:

[lexsmama]

:lol::lol: I just caught that and almost spit out my water! :lol::lol:

Girl thats what best friends are for!

Will you help me drug Rod and take him to vegas for a drive through wedding! LOL

[sarahlynn]

im lost :(
but yes i will help you drug him and marry him :) i so want to go to vegas .. ill be the photographer

[Jenny]

I left a playgroup in tears today :sad: Ronin bit a little girl so hard on the finger and wrist. She was screaming in pain so badly and neither her mother nor I could get over there quick enough. He didn't break the skin, but came very close. I scooped him up, went into the kitchen and just started bawling. I am so tired of this agressive behavior. He's so hit or miss. Some times he's wonderful and doesn't bite at all, and other times :angry: :angry:. I'm just tired of it.

[Jenny]

Good morning girls! So, anyone want to spill the beans on what they're getting their swap mama? I've never done one before & I really don't have any idea where to start.


I didn't get anything for my mama, but lots of stuff for her dd. I can't spill what it is, or she might figure out it's me!!

[lexsmama]

I'm so sorry Jenny! Hugs!

I'll help, Pam. :biggrin:

[RachaelM]

Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry. I know you're frustrated. I wish I had a magic solution for you...

[without]

Jenny, Morgan bit a kid at day care once. I also cried! I was so glad it only happened once.

[sarahlynn]

OH Jenny :( im sorry that happened..its such a quick thing its so hard to intervene and stop..lucea has bitten cy a couple times and i never could have stopped it :( it just makes me sad..she is so aggressive compared to him..so i know how you feel..hang in there..your a great mom..

[Jenny]

Thanks Ash & Rachel.

I was so upset. I left playgroup in tears. Other mama's were trying to get me to stay, even the mom of the girl Ro bit, but I just couldn't stay. I said to Ronin once we got in the car, "only bite food, not people" and that's the last thing I said to him. We got home, I fed him lunch, and put him to bed. All without saying a word. I'm so tired of it.

[lexsmama]

It's so hard and so frustrating. I hope Ronin figures it out soon, for your sake.

[Momto3]

Sorry Jenny....hugs.:comfort:

[~Kristen & Ava~]

Jenny, I"m so sorry you are having to deal with that! I hope things get better for you!

[~Kristen & Ava~]

Well I called the pedi's office. They said to cut out the Karo in her bottles, and to give her 2oz warm water with Karo in it a day...instead of just one ounce. Okay...so I have to cut out one ENTIRE feed...cuz she only takes 2oz per feed..to give her the warm water with Karo. I'm fuming now, b/c thats NOT what I wanted to hear. So I nicely ask, do I even have the OPTION to change her formula...they said no...shes on it for prematurity, she doesn't have the option to go off of it. SOOOO...I feel like a horrible mommy...b/c she came early...she has to SUFFER through gas and constipation..however if she was FULL TERM...she would have already had her formula changed, no problem. I think I need to see about getting a 2nd opinion...Her weight gain is great so far...she's getting extra vitamin supplements daily as well. I want to change it anyway...but i dont want to have her pedi drop her as a patient b/c I made the decision...and DH wants me to listen to the pedi...not my own instincts.

[bel]

OMG jenny Im so sorry! I can relate how aweful that feels! Santi bits Ceci constantly and several times almost to make it bleed! so frustrating, and to calm Ceci is the worst part! thanks God she is bigger enought to understand he doesnt do it because wants to hurt her KWIM?
Time out works k for now...

[sja1508]

Hey all! I'm so sorry but work is nuts right now. I've got one conference call after another and can't get on here much.

Bel, any package yet???

Lynn, sending "good job vibes" for DH

Jenny, so sorry about Ronin, big hugs mama

Pam, you are perfect the way you are. Not trying to bash your parents, but if they can't be supportive, then tell them to shut up about it. Either say something nice or zip it.....kwim???

Sarah, Claudia, Ash, miss you gals alot!!!!

[bel]

hey stacy finally!! I was having a major stacy withdrawal today...umh no package yet, dont worry!

[newmami]

Kristen, I am so sorry!! I know how heartbreaking it is to see your child consitpated. I cried the first time that happened to Dani.
What about prune juice?? I gave my DD prunes once, and it was not pretty.... so they did the work!

Jenny, sorry about the biting... I don't have any advise, but I hope Ro understands that bitting is not ok. :comfort:

Pam, anything for you, where do I send the drugs?????? to your house or your office???

[without]

Ok girls I called him when I was out to lunch and just left a short message letting him know that when he had time I would like an update on how his mom is doing but that I understod his family needs him right now.

I know I will feel better after I talk to him but right now I feel like CRAP!


Stacy we miss you don't work come join our party!

[newmami]

Why do you feel like crap Pam? because you cannot do anything for him? or because he hasn't called you?
I think he will appreciate that you are giving him space to be with his family, and probably he is terrified about what may happen to his mom (not sure how serious her condition is)... so you did the best, let him know you are thinking about him and his mom, and you are concerned about her health.... He will call you, but from what you said before (about his dad) I am sure he is very very scared

HUGS to you

[without]

Oh, I still fill like crap over the psycho girl that came out last night. And then too I feel like crap because there is not a thing I can do to comfort him when he is that far away and I just wish there was some thing I could do.

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, I missed alot at lunch!

Miss you too Stacy!

I'm so sorry Kristen for the problems. Have you tried a little of a glycerine soposotory? You just hold the tip at the inside of the hiney until something starts to come out. We did that, along with the karo anad 2 oz of water, and the 2 oz of water and prune juice. Big hugs!

OMG, I just got THE BEST email from my cousin...Read:

So here’s the deal. Since the new baby will only be about 3 weeks old when vacation rolls around, Mom and Dad have decided to skip out this year and do something else. Well, me and Ty have decided to pay for the room for the week instead. Soooo, we have a downstairs cabin all to ourselves. Would you, Michael, and Lex want to join us?!?!?!?! You wouldn’t have to do the whole week if you didn’t want to, but we could split some of the costs, it would be soooo AWESOME!!! Just like old times J Lex would have so much fun! Then, he could see what vacation is all about!!!! JJJ

Lemme know, we don’t have to let Heidelberg know until May 5th.

[without]

Wow!!! that sounds great!

[lexsmama]

I know! But I wonder if we can swing that AND Disneyworld..

What did I miss Pam?????

[sarahlynn]

PAM curiosity kills me so what did the email you sent him say?

im bein nosy :(

[without]

My dear dear Rod! You just told me you had to get off line to call your mom. I am saying a prayer now that she is fine. I know how close you are to your family and its one of the things that attracted me to you.

I wanted to take this time to write you a note. I don't know how it feels to be you and not know the feeling of love between a man and a woman! It scares me a little that you are this way but I am willing to wait and watch the cards fall where they may. Its to late for me I have fallen for you big time.

I understand as a couple we will have things to over come with each other but thats what being in love is about. I know every day won't be a bed of roses but its a bond that can't be broken by every day lifes mishaps!

I can't help but think that you are trying to tell me some thing with our last conversation. I won't lie and say my heart isn't already breaking a little bit. It took a big leap for me to do what I did last night. It took a lot for me to let you in to a place where very few have been. Last night and today... I was so gald I did. I was willing to risk my heart on you. Tonight I am full of fear. Fear that after all this time I finaly learned to love again all to have it bite me in the butt. The distance is a hard thing because I could hold you every night and be happy. I could fall asleep looking into your eyes and wake up to your smile. On the other hand I care for you enough not to let the distance bother me and just work with what we can in our schedules.

(gosh I am trying not to be a big baby and cry here)

I know there are things we are both going to need in this relationship and its going to take some time to learn each others love language but we are so open and honest with each other that I am sure it won't take to long.
Love, Pamela



You have to also remember that it was he who said... "I am falling for you" and "I am applaying at jobs in Fayetteville so I can be closer to you" So I wasn't the first to start mushy talk. I think he is scared to try to love again. I think he needs his space and I will give it because I know his family needs him (but its so hard to do). Its also hard to walk the line between concern and bugging him.

[without]

Claudia sent you an email

[sarahlynn]

thats the email you sent him after your dad talked to you? i dont think its bad

[bel]

awww pam! ((HUGS)) Im really really hoping this is for you!!

[without]

Yep... thats the email... it sounds so desperate to me!

[newmami]

It is a very very sweet and honest email Pam, straight from the heart. You know him better than we do, and we don't know the whole situation. Try not to worry much about it, right now he has his mind on his mom

Gotta go, but I finally told this account manager to stop treating me like an idiot... he draw the last straw today... I AM FUMING!!!

[sarahlynn]

SOOOOOOo my sister just called...teh U/S tech couldnt see what baby was :( it moved around to much so they are gonna try agian next month because it moved so much they couldnt ge the needed shots of the heart and stuff either :) must be a feisty little girl

[lexsmama]

aaw pam. that was a beautiful heartfelt email. i hope that everything goes well with rods mom and u two get time. sorry about the us sarah!

[without]

Still no call from Rod I am really worried about his mom now. I'll try to call him again at 9:30 but I am not leaving another message.

[bel]

bumer saratu how come that baby was:crossed:

Pam have you hear something about Rod? how is his mom doing?
Hey Clau did you give him the killing with passion session???:smooch:

Well I woke up at 6am, and took Ceci for her school first day, what can I do? she is just too big :dunno: she was just born for God sake :crying:

Gotta love this emoticons :rolly:

[lexsmama]

Morning!

I hope Ceci has a great day today!

Sorry you haven't heard from Rod, Pam. He'll call.

[without]

As far as the relationship with Rod goes... I have not heard from him but I know there has to be a good reason! He wouldn't just leave with out a word its not his style. It did cross my mind that when he got the call about his mom he ran out of the house so fast (didn't even back a bag) that I know he didn't take his phone charger. Do I think its rude of him not to at least call me and let me know how his mom is doing? YES I am a basket case over here :hissy: I am so worried about his mom. I wish I knew his moms name! Ugh! he normally just refered to her as "mom" or nana!:laugh: I am going to do some internet searching in a little bit and see what I can find. Two things I know for sure 1 is... if his mom passes away he won't take it well at all and it will cause him to retreat and more than likely break up with me so that scares me on many levels!:sniffle: and 2 if his mom pulls through this fine next time we are face to face I am goin to lovingly tell him exactly what it did to me to have him MIA. He's just not used to having some one around (other than family who would worry about him like this) I am going to let him know that he HAS to keep me informed. LOL My sister I am sure will tell him what a basket case I have been if I don't!:eyebrow: I just wish I knew some thing.


Claudia... did you get you kill'n done yesterday?

Bel... I will be thinking of C today! Wahoo for the first day at school though I know its bitter sweet!:thumbsup:

[newmami]

Morning ladies... almost Friday!!

Yes I kept the loving wife stunt, and actually DH was very nice, he made dinner and did all the dishes :P. He got some as well, so he was happy... SUCKER!!!:gome:

Eeks Bel, I cannot believe how fast Ceci is growing... I hope she has a good day in school :hugs:

Pam, I am sorry Rod hasn't called... there could be TONS of reasons for that!! dead cell, no service, mom very sick.... I hope everything is fine with his mom, and I hope he calls you soon (for your peace of mind). Before you tell him anything, let him explain, and then you can go with the "I am worried about you, I want you to know I am here for you if you need support or a shoulder to cry on, please know you are not alone" talk... I am sure he will appreciate you MORE when he feels that you are there for him
If something bad happens to his mom, he is going to need a LOT of TLC, but he needs to let you do that, ok? so let him set the pace right now.
I am sure he cares about you a lot, but I think he is scared to death about his mom, and he is not thinking clearly :comfort:

Sarah, sorry that baby was not cooperating... hope she :storkgirl: does for next u/s!!!

[newmami]

I just posted a picture on the Pool floatie thread... I cannot believe how little Danielle was :crying:

[without]

I am with you Claudia... when he does call .. I am just going to let him talk about his mom and not say a thing about what I went through during his time away. Then next time we are snuggeld up on my love seat. I'll talk to him then. I think he would get the point better face to face when he can look in my eyes and tell he truly worried me and I am not just saying that to manipulate him.

[newmami]

Sounds like a plan Pam!! in the meantime, I am praying for his mom

Can I go home now???

[newmami]

:lol::lol:Wanna hear a funny story???
We recently closed a $5,000,000 loan for a customer... yesterday night, it was in the news that the same customer had to pay a $5,400,000 lawsuit because of sexual harrasment.... so now we know where the funds of the loan are going!!! :lol::lol::lol:

[sarahlynn]

[lexsmama]

I agree with Claudia, Pam. :)

[without]

[newmami]

:rant: Ok so the account manager who got on my last nerve yesterday, is no UPSET with me and giving me an attitude because of my comment... SERIOUSLY!! he is starting to sound like DH :eyeroll::mad:

Why do I need to put up with this crap?????????? he pretty much calls me an idiot, and then HE is upset when I told him I am not an idiot????

[sarahlynn]

Are you kidding I would DTD for 1/2 a mill! LOL

oh HE LL YEAH! i can totaly do that for 1/2 mill...i have no problems with that and neither woudl DH lol...hede be like go for it baby...

[without]

Claudia,,, sorry to hear the jerk is still being a jerk! Ugh! Men!

So... would it be to much or going over board to send Rod a card in the mail? Are you sick of my dating ediquite (sp?) questions yet? LOL

[newmami]

Depends on what you put on the card Pam.... just a Thinking of you card is a nice gesture
I don't know dating etiquette.... I didn't had a steady BF ever, I dated a married guy and then couple who lived far..... so I am not a dater......:biggrin:

Getting paid for DTD... My Dh would say "heck yeah!! can I watch??" :rolleyes:

[sarahlynn]

YAY my boss just said i can be off at noon tomarow..>YAY!!!

hmm on the card pam..i might wait...give him time with all thats going on..but i am bad with those things i always feel like i am being a pest and than dotn do anything lol

[without]

I agree Sarah.. though... I know its nice and from the heart I don't want to be a pest. I will wait and let the thing with his mom play out first and maybe send him one next week. Now that I think about this week might not be a good week. :)

Ok girls... I was doing fine and feeling as if my relationship issues were just because he had to be with his mom and there could be a zillion reasons having nothing to do with me that he hasn't called....THEN.... my mom called... she says have you heard from Rodney? I said no not since Wed. morning around 1. She said.. Pam.. he is giving you the slip. And went on to say he is running from me and lieing about his mom. She has never meet him how can she say that! On the other hand now she has me all upset again! I just want him to call! Now tha panic is creeping back in. Got'a love my mom!

[sarahlynn]

wed morning? thats not long at all really not long at all..crap when matt goes away we dont talk for days.. lol

dont let your mom work you up..

[without]

Thanks and thats kind of how I look at it too I mean for Peat sakes we have only been going "Steady" since Monday. And only dating a Week today. LOL I mean... with the family stuff going on he may not be thinking to call right now. I am trying to stay positive! My mom is killing that. I think if he knew how upset I am right now he would feel bad that he didn't think to call or grab the phone charger. I make the choice to believe he isn't giving me the slip! Why less than 24 hours after he asked me to be "just his girl" would he give me the slip! ugh!

[lexsmama]

Your mom's just hissing in your ear. She doens't have a clue. Don't listen to it. Give Rod some time and then see what happens. I'd also wait on the card for a little bit.

Sorry about the jerk, Claudia.

I just looked in my account and found that the school paid me on the 15th for all the back pay! What a nice surprise. Sigh.

[sarahlynn]

girl your stressin yourself out..calm down that could really give him the heeby jeebys if he calls and senses your off ka know...he may think OMGshe is freakin out this much from one day..dont give him that impression even if you feel it :) men can be weirded out easily..but he reallly really sounds like a genuine guy pam..so i cannot see him giving you the cold shoulder..he just has a lot going on right now that takes precidence over a new relationship..

so hang in there adn be coool

[bel]

hello? back from lunch!

I wish there was a way I could but a block on my phone so I wouldn't be tempted to call him lol

I agree with Ashley. I'd wait on the card. Poo Poo on your Mom!


WTG Ashley on the back pay!

[lexsmama]

I know, right?!

Progresso soups are the best! I love the southwestern style chicken... mmm..

[bel]

saratu the first day was awesome she said, go check my update :wink:

[lexsmama]

omg. I just got 8 boxes of girl scout cookies delivered to my office!!!

[newmami]

Yay for extra money Ash, those are always good surprises

Pam, I totally agree with Sarah. He has a lot going on, it is not with you, the situation with his mom is overwhealming and he is dealing with that, HIS OWN WAY!
That doesn't mean he is giving you the slip, it only means he is stressed, worried and probably afraid about his mom. Give him some time, let him regain control of the situation and let him be the one calling you. You already did a nice thing leaving him a message, please give him some space to deal with his issues.
As for your mom, she doesn't know him, she doesn't know the situation, so she doesn't know what He is thinking (unless she is psychic) so please don't listen to her!!! she is just being negative for some reason, again probably a poor way of protecting her daughter

Freak out as much as you need her, but please don't let Rod know you are freaking out... if things are bad with his mom, the last thing he wants to deal with is dealing with his newly GF freaking out about nothing!!

Remember that MEN need space when they deal with stressful situations!! we women need support and companionship, men need to be alone (yes, they are weird)

[Momto3]
