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

[newmami]

Good news Pam, I am glad he called and that the mom is OK....
See??? there was a good explanation for him not calling!!
Now don't freak out if he doesn't call you often, I am sure this was a BIG scare for him, and it is natural that he wants to check on his mom (which only shows he is a keeper if he is so concerned about his mom)

Are you breathing now???? 8-)

I have to open 30 checking accounts and our software SUCKS... why oh why do I work here???? oh yes, the salary!!!:chinscratch:

[without]

Bleck.. claudia I hate when I have to work! LOL And yes I am breating a little more easy it was nice to hear his voice. I just hope his mom is ok. And I am a lil pissed at my mom and dad now.. hind sight and all! Ugh!

I need to think of some thing heathly for dinner! I have to groom so I will be tempted to cook a dollar pizza.

[newmami]

Pam, I think your parents are only trying to protect you from another heart break. They just have a very very poor way of showing that they care and they are concerned about you

[without]

OH,, I agree Claudia and its nice to be loved and protected by my family but phew...the added stress!

Oh, no!!! they are having babie days at Wal-Mart! That always gets me itch'n for another one!

[lexsmama]

baby days??

[sja1508]

Hey all, just checkin in to say hi so you all don't forget about me. Work is crazy and we are going out of town tomorrow to spend the weekend with Tara's folks because her mom's bday was this week. Hope you all have a great weekend and maybe next week will be a little slower for me.

Glad all's well with Rod and his Mom!

Loved all the pics Bel and Sarah!

Ash, please eat some thin mints for me....:hissy:

Lynn, hope baby girl's rash is better and let me know as soon as you get the big "job offer" :wink:

[bel]

Is gonna be an interesting week end YAY!:dance:

[Momto3]

Yay for partying Bel! Sounds like fun.

I'm glad its Friday as well. Been a long week for only being 4 work days....


Oooo I have a question. I have a coral colored suit and I don't know what color shoes to wear with it. I know its early yet but Easter will be here at the end of next month and I can wear spring colors after that. (I don't wait for Memorial Day, I live in Fla.)

[without]

Bel... the weekend sounds like fun. I dread mine! :(

Its going to be dead in here this after noon with Bel and Sarah both gone!

[lexsmama]

I'm here with you, Pam. My mom called me with the flu last night all upset that we're not coming down. Dad won't let me. He said the baby doesn't need the flu.

Lynn~ You could wear coral, lol, or ivory/taupe, or black. That'd be my guess.

Have fun at all those great parties, Bel!!

You HAVE to try the lemonades, girls. Find a girl scout and buy them out. :laugh: :rolleyes:

I realized I had forgotten to pay lex's tuition on the 10th. :eek: Paid it this morning. They were so nice aobut it.

My cousin and I are throwing her sister a shower on march 29th at their mom's house. I'm making a diaper cake with all the leftover size ones I have. :rolleyes: Any ideas on what to do?

Dude, Quaker Simple Harvest is sooo yummy.

[newmami]

Lynn, I am the worse when it comes to shoes... what about some beige or light brown shoes????

YES IT IS FRIDAY!!!

So I had a conversation with DH about that post from the NPR article (about kids not having make belief time nowadays) and he pretty much said "well that is how it is"... I told him "wow, you are so negative!!".... it still amazes me how much of a :dunno: oh well attitude he has, and how little he is willing to change things :eyeroll:
Then my FIL called to confirm our tax return, and DH's question was "where do we spend it?"... ummm HELLO?? what about SAVING money???
I am going to get a toy thing for the kids and that is it, everything else that he wants me to "spend" will go to a savings account...
when this things happen, I am always left thinking if I can live with someone whose goals in life are so far from mine???

So I just got the news that the other assistant is not coming today, yes I know she is sick, but a phone call to me would have been appreciated.... guess I am wearing the invisible cloak again today :eyebrow:

[lexsmama]

I'm so sorry about dh, Claudia. Hugs.

[bel]

I want cookies!!!!!!!:hissy::hissy::hissy: bad Ash!!!:tongue:

Lynn do you like silver? nice copper sandals??? I like methalic colors, they are everywhere here:wink: would look nice with cacki, brown or black also...

Where is Clau? Saratu?

Im hungry...

[lexsmama]

oooh, I didn't even think about copper or silver. Those would be pretty.

[Momto3]

Sorry Claudia...Friday hugs to you!


Ashley...ummm those are MY cookies...put down the cookie and back away! I LOVE the lemonades oh and the caramel coconut ones!

[bel]

aww Clau now I see you, we dont do much savings arround here :( we should...

What are you planning to buy them? I love toys links, and love to buy them for my babies, maybe because I always want to buy bigger than i can bring with me when I flight :rolleyes:

[lexsmama]

Mmm... No! I can't. I'm addicted now. Almost caveman-like, even. :lol:

[bel]

stooooooooooooooooooooop IT!!! damit Im even hungrier now! LOL

[lexsmama]

Sorry Bel. :redface:

[lexsmama]

Oh, cute story.

I took lex to school this morning. His daddy dressed him, btw. lol. We signed in and walked to the gym. At the big double doors, he stopped. At the end of the hall Audrey, her sister and daddy all walked in from outside. LEx said, "Oh, look! She's here!" and ran.

[newmami]

Awww, his first crush Ash.... :wub:
I hear you on the cookies, I finished the box of the lemon ones :shame::shame:

Bel, what I want to get the kids is a piece of furniture to store the toys, Lord knows they have more than enough toys already!!!

I am SWAMPED with work, so I will be on and off today... UGH!! happy Friday to me!!

[bel]

aww CLau Amanda posted a cute one she bought some time ago, it had place for books and everything, maybe you can ask her...

Ash Im so happy for you :celebrate:

[lexsmama]

thanks so much for all the prayers. I know He answered them all.

Step 2 has a great toy box with a shelf, if you can find one, Clau.

[newmami]

This is the one we are getting, I like that you can take the trays out
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49819508

Ash, I am very happy for you and Michael!!!!

[lexsmama]

thank you Clau!

I love that one from Ikea!!

[without]

NO Claudia!!! Don't work today!!! :( Invisable cloak! :lol:

The girls at work asked me out tonight! I would love to go but its to last minute to find a sitter :hissy:and they are not even metting until 8! That seems late to be getting started! Maybe I am getting old:ohno:

[bel]

yes you are :lol:

[lexsmama]

I feel the same way right now, Pam. Maybe it'd be good for you, though. :)

[without]

:cry:OH NO! I can't be getting old!:eek:

[sarahlynn]

holy crap what did i miss..

[lexsmama]

bel wants cookies
Pam wants to go out, but 8 is a little late
Claudia has to work hard today, and wants to save the tax return but dh wants to spend it, and found a cool toybox from Ikea
Lynn's working today and doesn't know what color shoes to wear with a coral suit
Stacy joined us!
What else...

[newmami]

WOW Ash, that was a wonderful recap!!

[without]

Hey 8's not to late if its a guy. ;)

[lexsmama]

lol. I'm doing great today. lol. I'm so sad.

[lexsmama]

Rod?!

[without]

I don't know when he will be back in town. I am giving him his space. If I have not heard back from him by Monday I will call again to check on his mom. He said he plans on being back to work on Monday.

[lexsmama]

aaahhh, I see.

[Momto3]

Ashley - why are you sad?

[sarahlynn]

eeek ladies i am done at noon today adn than me and lulu are heading to school with cy to have lunch with him .. should be interesting

[Momto3]

Have a great time Sarah...noon for me is in 15 minutes! Yay! I'm hungry.

[lexsmama]

I'm going to McDonalds today dangit

[lexsmama]

Okay, nix that. I'm going to the cafeteria with a friend at noon.

[without]

Ditto....Ashley why are you sad?


Lulu will have a blast at school with CY!

[lexsmama]

I'm sad? Oh! I'm so sad for being so bored that I totally remember every little detail of the thread. lol.

[sarahlynn]

have a great lunch!!!! im sure it will beat the school lunch we will have :biggrin:

[lexsmama]

:laugh: Not really. But it'll be nice to get away a while.

[Momto3]

Sarah - Nothing beats having lunch with your babies...:biggrin:

[lexsmama]

Sarah - Nothing beats having lunch with your babies...:biggrin:

UH-huh! I'd do it if I knew Lex wouldn't want to go home right afterwards. :rolleyes:

[without]

OH I know! If I went to have lunch with Morgan at this point in the game she would cry her eyes out if I left. Then I would want to just go home an take a nap myself.

[without]

OK so I am trying to think of ways to keep my mind off Rod. Its been almost 24 hours since we talked and I know thats no reason for me to freak! He said he would call last night and didn't :rolleyes: seems to be a bad habbit of his but then yet... maybe he was with his daughter. I am not wigging over it but still I do miss him! I hate not knowing when I will see him next. So I wrote this... LOL

The Phone
It sits there taunting me
Teasing me…
Never ringing

Yet I know on the other end is a voice
A voice I want to hear
Yet it never rings….
The silence of the phone is killing me!
24 hours it has been since I have heard that voice on the other end.

To look at the phone it seems so innocent black and silver
Who could guess that this little object could be so cruel?
Sitting there taunting me
Teasing me….
Never ringing!
:lol:

[newmami]

Pam, come here and help me with all the work, that would keep you busy!!!!!

[willsmama]

I am bored today as well, and am depressed as this weekend is my first Weight watcher weekend, meaning, no 'free for all' like I normally do. Sigh.

[Momto3]

Hey Tracy! Gosh we miss you around here! Are you home today or can you get on from work? Go out and have a free for all tonight!

[sja1508]

Tracy, OMG...Will is so precious. What a big boy! What are you doing for his 1st bday?

[bel]

you guys I came back from lunch, I said I would stay home....oh well I will already miss you so much thru the weekend:tongue:
and I had nothing to do at home:rolleyes: so I bought some chocolates and came back lol...

[Momto3]

yummmmm chocolates.

Its probably a bad thing that I have thin mints in my office cabinet from last year, right?

[bel]

woulsnt last in mine more than 10 mins :P

[sja1508]

I am so bad. I've been sick and crazy busy so I haven't been going to the gym but I have been eating pretty good until today.

Calories

grill cheese
fries
twix
m&m's


1,000,000 calories

[bel]

mmm stacy!! those arent too many calories in my wook :rolleyes:

[sja1508]

Well, I figure WTH......we are going out of town anyway, so this whole weekend will be shot so why not start it off with a bang??!!! I hardly eat candy but that stupid twix bar was calling me and I didn't want the M&M's to feel left out.

[Momto3]

grill cheese
fries
twix
m&m's

Calories: PRICELESS!

[bel]

that is sooooooooooooooo ME stacy!!!!! :lol: :lol:

[RachaelM]

[sja1508]

Stacy, you didn't want the m&m's to feel left out!! LOLOLOL That's the best excuse ever.

They are opening here a position I wanted a year ago... yeah watch me apply for THAT one now.... NOT!!!:crossed:

[lexsmama]

Hi! It's me again! :laugh:

I had a great lunch in the cafeteria. It's gotten so much healthier since I was here as a student.

Wow, you ladies sure do make longer pages on here, lol. :cool:

We miss you so much Tracy! And it's okay, the WW isn't all bad. Get some Blue Bunny Sugar-free vanilla and a squirt of sugar free chocolate syrup and dig in! That was always my treat. :)

[sja1508]

[Momto3]

Morning my lovely ladies!

Weekend was ok. Nothing to exciting...oh wait DH and I snuck out to our favorite restaurant for our "Valentines" dinner. Chimas, the Brazilian Steakhouse! Yummmmm

Both teens are sick so I am trying to keep Katelyn away from them!

How are you guys?

[without]

Morning!
Hope you all had a GREAT weekend! I posted this weekend! I wonder why it didn't show up. ;)

[without]

All.... by myself.......don't want'a be.... all by myself......

[newmami]

Hey ladies!! it is Monday again :crossed:

I have 2 kids with runny noses, great!! I wish I could stay home with them.... Dani was so sleepy this morning she didn't wanted to get up, she climbed back to bed and started saying "no"... it broke my heart because I could tell she was tired, so I started crying and apologizing to her.
Chris is Ok, he is getting 2 more teeth, so that makes 4 on top, 2 on bottom... he tried fish this weekend and he really liked it

Weekend was blah!! I got to play with my kids, so that is always good, but things at home are not so great, DH is back to his old self, and I cannot even talk about it because all he does is get upset about my feelings... yeah I have a wonderful DH :mad:

But we called my parents and Dani was talking to them, and they are ready to come in April, with my sisters, to celebrate Chris' birthday!!! I am excited

In another note, this next weekend is Sk's bday, so Dh is throwing him a party on a park, and he hasn't involved me on ANYTHING, so guess what I am going to do at the stupid party??? YUP, NOTHING!!! I will take care of my 2 LO, and let him deal with everything else

[bel]

Pam you talk to me in Im when you feel alone, I dont like to come here and feel lonely, so I just work all morning lol

Clau Im sorry about the babies and DH again! but :yeehaw: about aprin you will have a blast having your parents AND sisters there!!! how fun!
Sad your DH doesnt ask you to be involved in his DS b-day plann but is a relief in the other hand LOL

[newmami]

Oh I am not complaining about not being involved... it just sucks not being acknowledge...
But hey, I made breakfast AND lunch Sunday, and didn't got a Thank you either... so I am getting used to the being invisible

So the jerk at work had a talk with me on Friday and gave me this SUPER LAME excuse on why he is so neurotic about things.... he NEVER apologized for the comment, he gave me an explanation on why I NEED to understand the way he works and pretty much suck it up :wtf::crossed:... so yeah, this is how much I care about him and his crap....

Good Lord, men just bring me headaches... maybe I should stay away from them for a while!!:laugh:

[without]

Claudia.... Ugh!! Ugh!!! Ugh!!!!!:comfort:

[Momto3]

So sorry Claudia...about DH, about kids with drippy noses, about Dani not wanting to get up....about the jerk at the office...about having to work...I feel for you.

[sarahlynn]

Morning ladies... :) i had a good weekend..having gotten done at noon on friday it felt like i had a loooooooooong weekend..we didnt do much..went to breakfast at my sisters on sat morn and than took the kids swimming..

DH was really worn out sun night..he slept most of it..worries me :( i hate when i see him unable to be awake..he is such an activer person..he looked so drained..

[newmami]

Sorry about Matt Sarah... I remember my coworker saying she needed to sleep a lot... part of dealing with M/S

HUGS!!!

[sarahlynn]

Sorry about Matt Sarah... I remember my coworker saying she needed to sleep a lot... part of dealing with M/S

HUGS!!!


yeah it worries me so much when it happens, he just called and said he is very sore :frown: i keep waiting for a relapse..any little thing like if he is tired or sore i get so worried that it will happen again..

well i took lucea to day care this morning and they are just gettin over influenza now i am going UGH what was i thinking..but crap i had no one else to watch her :( i hate that..

[without]

Wow! Sarah! Sorry to hear about Matt! I hope he feels better soon and I pray he just had to much fun and its not a relaps.

[newmami]

Can I go home now?? I should take a sick day and just spend it with the kids at the park :pace:

[Jenny]

Hi Ladies :)

Hope you are all doing well. I just wanted to pop in and say hello :)

I'm swamped with school!! Swamped!!

[sarahlynn]

Can I go home now?? I should take a sick day and just spend it with the kids at the park :pace:

i say go for it...get sick and go to the park :)


sorry yoru so busy jenny..how is school going?

Pam how is Rod? when is the next meetup

Bel where did you go?

[Momto3]

Sarah - Sorry about Matt not feeling well. Does it feel good for no more weekend working? Did they ever say anything to you about it?

Claudia - I say take off. Ever since President's day I've had a tough time coming to work every day.

Jenny - Hi! Don't work/study so hard....don't forget about us!

Pam - How's the Rodster?


Where is Ashley?

[newmami]

Where is everybody?? this place is dead :(
A Holiday no one mentioned to me?? :laugh:

Ok so I am going to run this through you ladies:
I was thinking about all the holidays that you crazy americans celebrate, and all the traditional things you do, like the Easter Baskets... I am not used to doing those things because we don't do them in Mexico... so I kept wondering if me not doing them meant depriving my kids from something?? are they going to compare notes in school and be teased because the Easter bunny hates them?? I told DH and he said it was best to do "when in Rome..." but I am stuck on the reason why some things are done (Easter is my biggest issue, what is the meaning of the bunny and the egg dying and hunting??) and would like to understand...

So, am I depriving by not doing things the American way, or is DH wrong again????
God, I need a "Living in the US for dummies"8-)

[Jenny]

Many of our traditional holiday's have religion tied in with them. Like the Easter basket. I am not religious, so I don't call it Easter basket, or Easter Bunny. It's the Spring Basket, Spring Bunny, etc...

I love celebrating all the little holiday's with my kids b/c they enjoy it so much. I still am in awe at how much Haley loved Valentine's Day this year. She was more excited for V-Day than she was for Christmas. :laugh:

[Momto3]

I wouldn't describe it as you "depriving" the kids of anything. I don't think they will be teased but they may question you when they are old enough as to why we don't celebrate this or that. Make sense?

I recon the Easter Bunny, eggs and baskets to Easter as Santa Clause, Rudolph and presents are to Christmas.

There is a religious portion to both holidays but I think these are the more secular celebration of it.

ETA: I love that it is just another way to celebrate with the kids!

[Jenny]

I agree.

[newmami]

See that's my point. It honestly annoys me how everything is comercialized, and mostly take the religious side of holidays to replace it with "buy buy buy".
In my house, Easter and Christmas were about being with family and ALWAYS the religious meaning, specially Easter...

I am doing the baskets as a spring thing, but I REFUSE to tell my kids about the Easter bunny.... and to compensate, I will also have them celebrate "my" holidays, like the 3 wise men day!!!

Thanks for the input... now how do I get rid of DH??? :lol:

[bel]

yep I think that too, but I dont get what would hurt? as Jenny I have so much fun celebrating stuff, even if we dont have as many holydays as in the states...but I love to, what the heck I even celebrated Hallooween :D

[Jenny]

Thanks for the input... now how do I get rid of DH??? :lol:


I have a big boat and cinder blocks. :lol:

[bel]

for the small amount of my flight ticket (only 75% off :wink:) I could help :D

[without]

Claudia, I was raised in the US and my parents NEVER got us an Easter basket. Now we did get to color and hide eggs but that was just for fun and because we loved to do crafts with my mom. On the other hand.... I will be getting Morgan some thing special for her Easter basket to do with her eggs this year because I love to shop LOL.

Rod and I just talked. He got the job he applied for. Its a good and bad thing. Its just 4 miles from his house (good for him bad for me LOL) and it does pay better good for us both. LOL His mom is in recovery right now and he hasn't talked to the DR so he doesn't know if they did stints or not but he should know in about an hour or so. He seems to think she is doing much better and will be just fine. On the other hand I can tell by the way he was talking that he is really tired and emotionaly wore out. He said he is ready to be off this emotional ride! He is coming over for dinner tomorrow night. Sh.... Morgan is spending the night with my mom. :)

[Momto3]

He is coming over for dinner tomorrow night. Sh.... Morgan is spending the night with my mom. :)


Wooo Hoo You go girl!

[newmami]

Pamela Sue Scott, how dare you bring a man to your house that is not your husband??? :shocker::laugh: pssst, I hope you enjoy "dinner"

So I got a dye for the Easter Eggs, because it sounds like fun to do with the kids, and I will get them couple of things on a basket... see how I feel about those things, if not it is a good excuse to go shopping!!!

[without]

As long as things keep going fine with his mom It should be a good night! I am making Italian 2 weeks in a row. He liked what I made last week. Do you think I should do some thing else? I have the hand made raviolis stuffed and in the fridge. Last time we had chicken manicoti.

yep claudia....I look forward to some "dinner" LOL

OH and PS
Its Marie ;)

[Momto3]

Ugh! So Katelyn is STILL in our room for lack of any place else for her to sleep. She is in her own crib. But especially on the weekends it is usually just the three of us cuz the teens have places to go and people to see.

Do you know how strategically hard it is to have sex with a baby in the room without her being aware or seeing anything? If I wait until she is asleep at night...I usually am too. Poor DH. :ohno::eyebrow:

AND I'm getting my hair cut on Saturday...really short cuz I can't stand this mop! I can't wait!

[newmami]

Booo, Pamela Sue sounded better...... :lol:

Yikes Lynn, I don't know what to tell you about the sex logistics, but I can see Katelyn being in your room makes things complicated...
I need to follow you on the hair cut... I am scared of someone ruining my hair :(

So what is one supposed to do when Dh is not available for talking regarding the children? every time I want to talk to him, he feels like I am accusing him and he gets all upset and argues, or then he thinks he has the whole truth and doesn't allow me to get my point through... or then he told me "I don't have the right to complain" about certain things (and I would not anymore, it is useless....)???
We don't talk anymore unless it is stupid stuff, and it is usually me starting the conversation... isn't it weird??

Now I understand why people go and have affairs....... :shock:

[Momto3]

That sucks Claudia! I can't imagine not being able to talk ot DH about the kids or anything for that matter. I'm so sorry you are stuck in a sucky relationship.

[sarahlynn]

So what is one supposed to do when Dh is not available for talking regarding the children? every time I want to talk to him, he feels like I am accusing him and he gets all upset and argues, :


matt was like this for a long time..i think it was because of the dinkwad he dated when we were apart..she was nasty..a nasty evil :biggrin:
so now i always start the conversation "DONT GET OFFENSIVE I AM NOT ATTACKIN YOU" :lol: honestly though i do..cause he immedietly feels threatened and its rediculous..he has gotten better..

YAY AYAYAYYAYA OMG AYAY PAM for havin Rod over to dinner..dont do anything i would do... :wink:

[without]

Why is men are so dumb when it comes to phone calls! Ugh! I wish he would learn to pick up his phone and call!

Ugh!

[bel]

Morning ladies!!!!!!!!!! I hope is a better day for you all LOL

Pam I cant wait to hear the comments after Rod´s visit! :wink: yay! how exciting! I still remember the butterflies after O´s first visits :vibes:

Do you know how strategically hard it is to have sex with a baby in the room without her being aware or seeing anything? If I wait until she is asleep at night...I usually am too. Poor DH. :ohno::eyebrow:

HA! I can tell you this is our life since 20 months ago, just add more difficulties, since santi sleeps with us, and sometimes Ceci places a matress right next to our feet:eek: talk about challenge:sad:

Stacy, where is my stacy?!?!?!? I believe the package is here hon!! I received a notification yesterday! Im waiting for the secretary to go pic it up!!!:tongue: I cant wait:biggrin:

[lexsmama]

Morning! Been mia with an allergy-ridden little boy. I tried to send messages via my phone yesterday, but it was nuts. So much happened! I'll go back and read in a minute.

What age can allergists see little ones?

Hope you had a great date night, Pam!!

[without]

Morgan saw an allergist when she was around 6-9 months old.

Guess What???? I fit back into my jean skirt from last year!!! Wahoo!!! I am so proud of myself!

[lexsmama]

Woo hoo!!!

I guess I'll have to beg and plead with his pedi, eh?

[newmami]

Awesome Pam!! I am proud of you.... so how was "dinner"???????? :dance:

Ash, sorry that Lex is dealing with allergies :(

So I am going to start planning Chris' bday party... nothing big, but a party. The first part was teaching Dani the Happy Birthday song.... he he he!

Dh was still a dink:chinscratch:... the worse part is that I am to the point where I don't want to make things work out, I am tired of trying......

Is there anything better than going to the kids room in the morning, and see 2 big smily faces saying "mami" and "ababababba"????? :wub:
Oh I almost forgot, Chris is now officially saying Uh oh..

[bel]

how cute Clau!!! he and Dani are looking so much alike lately! you should post more pics! :wink: aunties love to see!

Hey Ash I was wondering about you yesterday! Sorry about allergies, Ceci was tested at 6months because she had a wierd rush in her arm :( the allergist said get ride of toys, carpets, comforters, etc etc I said :crossed: she got over it with a skin lotion :D

[lexsmama]

Thanks girls. I'm just ready for things to turn around. It seems like every time I post, there's something new wrong with lex or dh. :rolleyes:

[sja1508]

Hey ladies! We had a great time this weekend with Tara's parents. Zack loves them so much and he has such a great time with them. He is talking up a storm now and he is now starting to put together multiple words. Last night he said "my bath mama" (he didn't want to get out). Everything is "mine" LOL!!

Bel, I'm so excited!!!!! I just brought the slip to work today and I was going to call the post office and yell at someone. Please let me know asap if you get it and what you think!!!!!

We had a follow up visit with the ENT yesterday for Zack's tubes and they are still in place and his ears look great! He also passed the hearing test with flying colors...woo hoo!!!!

[newmami]

YAY Zack!! for talking more and passing the hearing test!!!

So I didn't realized that my cubicule states I am the official Filer..... is it really THAT hard to put the file YOU TOOK OUT, back where it belongs??? do I have a sign that says I love to file, just leave it on my desk???
I work with a bunch of useless morons, I am tired of them!!!!

[without]

Claudia... have fun teaching Dani the happy birthday song! And the dinner was supposed to be tonight.

Rod and I talked on the phone for like 30 minutes last night. For him to talk on the phone that long is a big deal. We talked about tonights dinner and how we were both looking forward to it blah blah blah then today when I got to work he was waiting for me on IM and this is how that went
Rod Wallace: I'll have to play it by ear today. I can't leave today until mom wakes up
Pam Scott: the time by ear?
Rod Wallace: They may rush her into surgery in a little bit if her bleeding doesn't stop
Pam Scott: What did she have done?
Rod Wallace: She had bybass surgery
Rod Wallace: But there is bleeding from somewhere
Rod Wallace: She has already had several blood tranfusions
Pam Scott: Wow... I didn't know. You never told me
Rod Wallace: I just didn't want to worry anyone
Pam Scott: I feel kind'a lost right now So I know you must feel a little crazy
Pam Scott: I think this is all making me feel a little guilty
Rod Wallace: Yes/I have to pick up my sister this afternoon
Pam Scott: OH,,, Rod
Rod Wallace: As long as we are all there we can make it
Rod Wallace: I will pick up Holland from school after I pick up Rhonda from the airport
Pam Scott: I don't know what to say ... and what I want to say is the wrong thing to say..
Pam Scott: WAIT!!!
Pam Scott: hold the phone
Pam Scott: if your picking up Holland how are we going to get together tonight?
Rod Wallace: I don't know yet/Not sure if I can yet
Rod Wallace: I'm sorry
Rod Wallace: I just can't leavve until I know she is stable
Rod Wallace: I just don
Rod Wallace: t want to leave if something happens
Pam Scott: Rod ... I know! I am just torn between my fear for you and your mom and my want/need to see and be with you. Your family comes first I know that 100% but it doesn't ease the hurt. I don't know if that makes any since at all
Rod Wallace: I just have to play it by ear. I would feel distraut if I left and something happens
Pam Scott: I know. I really do... and things would be a little different if I knew your family and could come up and see you and support you
Rod Wallace: I slept at the hospital last night and I am exhausted
Rod Wallace: I know but that will change soon
Pam Scott: I am so sorry
Pam Scott: I feel helpless
Rod Wallace: THey brought a bed in so I could rest
Pam Scott: Thats still not good rest
Pam Scott: What time does your sister get in
Rod Wallace: She gets in about noon and then we are going to take Holland out earl
Rod Wallace: y
Pam Scott: I am glad she is coming in so your not alone
Rod Wallace: I know buy it brings back bad memories
Pam Scott: I am sure.
Rod Wallace: Thad is feeding my dog and fish so I don't have to worry about that
Pam Scott: Now I so wish I hadn't come into work
Rod Wallace: Why
Pam Scott: I wish there were some thing I could do
Pam Scott: I am heart broken for you
Rod Wallace: Nothing we can do but wait
Pam Scott: I am 100% girl and now feel my emotions so torn
Pam Scott: and if I am feeling this way... then I know you feel bad
Rod Wallace: Chris, Clint and Judd will be up today when my sister gets in
Pam Scott: Rod... your telling me your not comming without saying.
Pam Scott: Go ahead and tell me...
Pam Scott: Its OK
Rod Wallace: I just don't want to leave her/It hurts too much
Rod Wallace: I have cried too much
Pam Scott: Well... if it were not for the fact that your sister is coming in I would come to you so at least we could get away for dinner for an hour or so
Pam Scott: Rod I really don't mind
Pam Scott: I need to feel like I am doing some thing for you
Rod Wallace: I appreciate that but I don't think anyone will want to leave but I will let you know. I am using a internet line in the hospital. Hope I don't get in trouble
Pam Scott: I'll just call the baby sitter and call it off. Its hard but its life...I care for you enough to wait until you are ready to let me in
Rod Wallace: I will stay in touch today
Pam Scott: thanks please do
Rod Wallace: Ok/I need to eat breakfast. The nurses brought me in a tray
Pam Scott: k I am here when/if you need me
Rod Wallace: Thanks and I will talk to you later
Pam Scott: k
Pam Scott: bye sweetie
Rod Wallace: bye sweetie

Part of me is holding on to the hope he is coming. but I know he isn't! I am torn hurt and feeling guilty for being a little upset about the whole thing! I hate feeling like I am about to burst into tears and I hate it that I will have to call my mom and tell her I don't need her to watch Morgan.:hissy:

[lexsmama]

Oh Pam. I'm so sorry.

[Momto3]

Way to go on the weight loss Pam!

Stacy - I miss seeing pics of Zack!

Ashley - Sorry about the allergies. I have no idea how young.

Claudia - I am sorry that everyone around you seems to be a moron cept for those two beautiful babies of yours!

[sarahlynn]

Good morning ladies..

sorry Ash that your baby was sick..allergies are so tough..keep us posted on how things are going

Stacy I MISSED YOU!! glad the trip went good...

Claudia..i love smiling babies in the morning...and your babies are especially adorable! sorry your DH is still a dink :(

Pam it sounds like he has so much going on..i would just make sure he knows that its really ok that he cant make it and his family has to be top priority..i know when family is in the hospital i dont want to be anywhere but with them..you never know what wil happen..eventualy things will smooth adn you two can hook up again..he needs this time..hang in there.

[newmami]

Pam, I don't know him, but it seems to me that he is very very stressed and concerned about his mom... you mentioned his dad was sick and passed, right? I am sure he is having horrible flash backs and he cannot deal with them... from the conversation, seems that his mind is ONLY with his mom and him being there for her... was he away when his dad passed?? I sense a little bit of guilt of him "not being there if something happens"... maybe he was not there for the dad and he cannot forgive himself???
Seems to me that he doesn't have a brain for anything, not even to think the logistics of picking up his DD and sister... he is not thinking clear, his mind seems to be clouded with the mom being sick and maybe other internal demonds

Please don't take it personal Pam, this is beyond him... you have NOTHING to do with it, he is dealing with the situation in a weird way, but only God knows exactly how he is feeling.
I know it is hard, but try to give him some room, let him be the one who contacts you this week.... he obviously needs to be with mom, and he NEEDS to be there for her 24/7, it is important for him and you have to understand or at least respect that, he will appreciate you for that

So, my guess is probably he would not be there for dinner, and YES it sucks big time!! but again, it is not you, it is whatever demonds he is dealing with his mom being at the hospital. Make a yummy dinner and have fun with Morgan, and keep yourself distracted... if your mom asks, tell her that Rod's mom is not well and he needs to be at the hospital, AND DON'T LET HER TELL YOU HE IS GIVING YOU THE SLIP!!

HUGS

[sarahlynn]

I agree with all claudia said..when someone goes through a tough time like this their brains are alllll over the place..so i would let him contact you next and go from there..when this all clears over you both can focus on yoru relationship again..


LADIES 3 more days and i start my HEALTH KICK!! i am actually pretty excited..my mom called me last week and said I HAVE A CHALLENGE...and we are going to eat better adn excersize and at the end of the month have a weigh off and whoever lost more weight gets treated to lunch by the looser.. :) i would like to get toned before summer and knock off my extra 15 lbs

[without]

Thanks girls! I don't feel as if he is giving me the slip at all and want to give him the space he needs. Still... I feel a little sad about the whole thing. I was thinking of sending flowers to his moms room but.. then yet.. maybe not I so over think things!

[lexsmama]

I'd hold off on the flowers for now, Pam. Maybe just give him some space and a friendly ear when he needs it. We don't know how his mom's going to end up at the moment, so I'd just step back a few minutes and let him come to you. Hugs!

[without]

I am such a do'er and it drives me nuts when there is NOTHING I can do! LOL

[lexsmama]

lol, me too. That's why I can say I speak from experience. :wink:

[newmami]

I am the same way Pam, but again, men are not, they are weird. 8-)

I need to go out on my lunch time and buy the present for the swap... we tried last weekend but DH and his son stress me beyond belief when we go shopping, and of course I have to tend to the LO b/c Dh is useless.... I should take an afternoon off, and just go shopping for everybody (also for the Easter baskets mami is getting them)
Sometimes, I just hate my life..........

[lexsmama]

You should SO take an afternoon off and shop. Take time for you and a smoothie, too.

[Momto3]

Hi!

Claudia - You need time for you. I wish your DH would help with the kids.

Pam - I agree with everything Ashley and Claudia said...you may have to sit on your hands to help do nothing!

Sarah - Good luck on the challenge!

[lexsmama]

Hi Lynn! Glad to see you!

I hope you have a great weight loss challenge, Sarah! You can do it!

[without]

I am so sleepy today!

Claudia take the after noon off! Start hacking and act like your getting sick! LOL

Sarah I need some one to do a weight loss thing with me to help keep me on track

[newmami]

I have to organize what I need to do, so I am efficient, and then take the afternoon off... maybe tomorrow or Thursday!

[bel]

thrusday or friday sounds better, I like to take fridays afternoon off, so my week end last the most HA!

[lexsmama]

Make the most of it, Claudia!

[newmami]

Why is it so slow here today?? don't tell me you are working people!!

Time to stir the pot???????????????????????

[bel]

where is saratu???

[sarahlynn]

Im back..DH called and invited me out to the pizza ranch for lunch..now i am back and working as usual..

[lexsmama]

not one single finger is being lifted today, clau. I'm bored to tears.

[lexsmama]

http://www.alittlepieceofquiet.blogspot.com


Check out today's blog.. Tell me what your opinions are, please.

[sja1508]

I think it's great Ashley! I sure wish I had your creative juices.....I'm so boring.....

[lexsmama]

lol. danke. What could I do for classes?

[newmami]

I love your blog Ash, it is peaceful...... I wish I could do something like that, but I don't feel comfortable sharing certain feelings with the whole world... I even stopped the journal because it made me uncomfortable.....
Besides, who would like to read my daily rants??????? :biggrin:

As for the scrapbook class, I would say it depends on the audience. Are this new people or experienced one? for new people I would go to the basics and explain how to start scrapbooking, and tell them how you fell in love with it... I have wanted to make scrapbooks forever, but 1) I don't have time and 2) I am not very creative, and I get stuck on what to do, meaning ZERO IDEA when I am standing at Michaels on the scrapbook isle!!!

I have to order checks for 30 accounts..... fun!!! :wtf:

[lexsmama]

It's mostly for my family. I opened it up for you all to see, but normally it's private.

Most are newbies but a few are experienced. Lynn @ church told me to recycle last years, but I don't even remember them. lol.

[Momto3]

I think it's great Ashley! I sure wish I had your creative juices.....I'm so boring.....


That is what I was going to say! Not that you are boring Stacy but that I am boring and Ashley is creative. :biggrin:

[Momto3]

...Besides, who would like to read my daily rants??????? :biggrin:



I do, I do! :yeah:

[lexsmama]

I'd read them, Clau!

I'm not creative, I just have to let my family know what's going on. They're so far away and all.

[without]

I blog every once in a blue moon when I have some thing funny to say or want to get out a rant but I do it on Myspace

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in here in a LONG time but I just wanted to say, "HI!!" :hi:

[without]

Hey candice! Nice to see you again!

Ugh! i am getting cold I never get cold! Sigh... its a flag that I am holding to much in! GREAT I bet I cry later of some thing stupid like a borken crayon! (eye roll)

[sarahlynn]

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in here in a LONG time but I just wanted to say, "HI!!" :hi:


OMG where haev you beeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?????

[newmami]

Hey Candice!!!!

Pam, do you get cold when you are stressed?? That is quite particular...

Ok, have you seen the show MONK?? if you know what I am talking about, I think I am raising a little Monk... Danielle is very very particular about certain things, if I put ketchup on her plate, she freaks if there is a "hole" on it, she dipps from the side so the main dullop is still there intact... she also freaks if she has food stuck on her, except on her hands, or if she spills on the table or her clothes, I need to clean ASAP. And her Cars step stool needs to be on the same position every time she uses it, otherwise she would not stand on it....
I know I am neurotic and OCD about certain things, but this is ridiculous!!!! should I be worried???

[lexsmama]

Hi Candice!! Nice to see you again! :)

[CandiceLeigh]

OMG where have you beeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?????

I've been here, but I've just been hanging low. :dunno: How the heck are ya?

[newmami]

I just finished ordering the stupid checks... so nice when the system cooperates!!

So people in this office tend to leave things on my chair when they want something done, which I hate because I tend not to see my chair :eyebrow:... so I put an in basket with this sign "if you want something done, please leave it here. If you leave it on the chair, I will just sit on it. Thank you".... see if the chair thing stops!! :rolly:

And people have been going around today next to my cubicule saying (not to me, but speaking out loud) "wow, where is everyone today??", isn't it rude?? I mean, I AM HERE!!!! :crossed: This people need to learn some manners!!

Oh yeah, and to the office Jerk, if I have to suck it up with the way he treats me (like I am :imfoolish:), HE is going to have to suck up my :rant: attitude.... :laugh:

Ash I didn't knew your family lives far from you... where do they live???

[bel]

hey Candice!!! welcome back!!
I dunno clau...is wierd isnt it?:chinscratch: but Im not sure, maybe that´s the way she is and that´s it...I dont think it´s wrong, just not common...

[sja1508]

Hey Candice!!!!

Pam, do you get cold when you are stressed?? That is quite particular...

OMG Claudia, it is so funny you said that because we call Zack "Monk". He is obsessive compulsive with stuff. He will drop things on the floor and say "uh oh" until you let him pick it up and throw it in the trash. He won't shut up about it. He also can't stand his food on his hands. He keeps rubbing them on his shirt. :rolleyes:

[newmami]

See half of my family is like that... my Dad is also very OCD about certain things, so I guess it just runs in the family....
When she does things like that (she cleans her table with the wipes!!) I tell her that her Great Grandma (my Dad's mom, who was the queen of clean and OCD) would be proud of her!!!

[without]

Dani is to cute Claudia! I know some times it maybe a little much but since I am on the outside I think its cute! Morgan... she is happy to be dirty or what ever as long as she has a hair bow in lol

[lexsmama]

my mom and Poppie are both ocd. Pop would go behind us turning off lights and wiping down bathroom sinks

[sarahlynn]

i have a nephew who is OCD..wants things in order and straight..my sister had him at the pharmacy with her the other day..the rugs when you come in the door were angeled towards the pharmacy desk..he stood for the longest time stareing at them adn finnally went over to straighten it out..my sister had to physically make him stop..it drove him nuts..we were driving the other day and there was a field of hay bales..he says "i dont like them..they are not in a line" poor kid..

my mom loves monk..

[bel]

we were driving the other day and there was a field of hay bales..he says "i dont like them..they are not in a line" poor kid..


:lol::lol:

[newmami]

Poor thing Sarah... I am like that with frames hanging on the wall, I HAVE to make them straight.....
My poor child, what do I expect with parents like the ones she has???????

[Jenny]

So we just got back from the zoo!

Haley rode a camel today and LOVED it!!

[newmami]

Awesome Jenny!! was that the Lowry Zoo?? I have always wanted to go there

[Momto3]

Claudia - I'm like Pam...from the outside looking in it sounds kind of cute.

Pam - Morgan having to have a bow in her hair...totally cute!


I'm lucky if Katelyn will let me brush her mop of curls.

[Jenny]

Awesome Jenny!! was that the Lowry Zoo?? I have always wanted to go there


Yes, it was. I haven't been in a few months, and I was a bit disappointed today. There were so many exhibits that were closed :(

[lexsmama]

how fun, jenny!

[Momto3]

Did I mention the weather is 87 here today...gonna be 68 tomorrow. :eek:

[lexsmama]

oh wow. it's 54 here. I love our observatory weather station. lol.

[Jenny]

Did I mention the weather is 87 here today...gonna be 68 tomorrow. :eek:


Ya, we are really windy now and our high tomorrow is only going to be 57. Time to break out the jackets again. I put them away....I thought we were done with winter.

[lexsmama]

I figure one more cold snap and we're onto hot pre-summer days. lol.

[newmami]

Yes, it is going to be cold here, for 2 days... now I need to hide the sandals I just bought Dani, and make her wear closed shoes... she just loves her "new shoes"

[Jenny]

EEK!! Can I brag for a second!!

My professor nominated me for an ALA award and just sent me this little snipet that she wrote about me :)

Jennifer enrolled in my face-to-face course, LIS 6544 Organization and Administration of the School Media Center, in fall 2007 where she blossomed. Her written assignments and thought provoking questions and comments demonstrated her intelligence as an independent thinker, yet her kindred spirit manifested itself positively with other students and her professor. Such characteristics are vital for a potential leader and I personally see Jennifer as a future pacesetter in the library profession.

Currently, Jennifer is enrolled in LIS 6564 Materials for Children, a course I teach in blended format – a combination of face-to-face sessions and online instruction. After grading her first major assignment and reading her initial weekly responses on the discussion board, I am again aware that Jennifer has set lofty educational goals for herself.

What has impressed me most about Jennifer, however, is her ability to manage time wisely and to face daily challenges without complaining. She is the mother of three small children, all under the age of five and not once has she requested additional time to complete an assignment or missed class because of her demanding responsibilities. She often shares with the class her enjoyment of reading many of the books to her children that she has selected to include in her reading project. Jennifer has promise and she is a model for other students to emulate.

I envision Jennifer as a person who will be among the top graduates of our program and I believe she exemplifies the characteristics you are seeking among scholarship applicants. It is my hope that Jennifer will be given the highest consideration during the selection process and that she will be announced as one of the worthy recipients of an ALA scholarship.

[lexsmama]

we just stick socks on lex with his sandals. He puts them on by himself now. :eek:

[Momto3]

Way cool Jenny!

[lexsmama]

Dh just called and asked me to meet him downstairs. His Chinese freign exchange student brought him the most gorgeous gift. First, a jar of looseleaf tea. Then a bag full of candies, jewelry, a bottle opener and other little things. And then there was this gorgeous paper cutting. She said it takes half a year to make one and it's all done by hand. dh's so beside himself that he got such a beautiful gift. I'll have to take pics tonight for you.

[sarahlynn]

WONDERFUL JENNY!!!!! how cool is that..

and yay about the camels..me and cy rode a camel at the minneapolis zoo..very bumpy :)

[lexsmama]

what an amazing nomination, jenny! Way to go!

[lexsmama]

Well girls. I'm about to head out for the day. I got my assignment for my circle group and need to pick a day to meet. Also, mil and sil are doing dinner at joe's italian grill, so I'm meeting the family there in a few. Hope you all have a warm and cozy night!

[sarahlynn]

night ladies i am off to get the kids...

talk to you all in the morning..

[bel]

Good morning neverending family!!!!!!!!!!!!
(add Ty´s yell here)
how are you all doing?!?!??!!!!!!!!!

[sja1508]

Morning ladies!

I went to get Zack from daycare yesterday and when I was going to leave my car shut off. It started back up and I got home, but now I'm taking it into the shop tomorrow for a checkup. It needs a 30,000 mile service done which is $400. Ugh.....

[lexsmama]

Morning!

Sorry about the car problems, Stacy. That sucks. :sad:

You know Bel, my aunt used to keep Ty when he was younger. She said he slept on her couch more times than she can count and took him to soccer practice with my cousin. :eek: :vibes:

I am happy to report that I had an amazingly happy child this morning that LOVED playing with Thomas the Tan Engine at school. He's also enrolled for the fall! We were the first ones there! Yay!

[sja1508]

Yea for a good morning Ashley! Don't forget to update us on the dr's appt today okay?!

[newmami]

Morning ladies

Stacy, sorry about the car issues... :wtf: I hope it is not too expensive to repair
(I also need to take mine to service, waiting on the tax refunds!!)

It is cold and windy in here!! I had to bundle my 2 little ones.... what hurt the most was waking them up, both of them were dead sleep... maybe it is because they decided to wake up and chat at 3:30 am :eyebrow:

DH and I were talking yesterday about a mini vacation for the 4 of us, and he asked me if things were getting better... so I spilled EVERYTHING out, and told him I was frustrated about the whole situation and the vicious cycle we are stuck in... he got scared because he thought I was telling him "this is it", he actually asked if I wanted him to leave.... so we had a very long conversation about how I feel and how it hurts me that he is not very sympathetic or caring with me... he made comments that made me feel better, and next year we are switching to his insurance, so I am free to leave here if needed. He also told me that he admires me as a parent, and that I am doing a wonderful job and the kids are well behaved because of me :gome:... almost as nice as that letter Jenny got!!

Anyways, things are better now and we are both going to work on the relationship, not just me... add that I am about to hire a maid to come clean my house... life is getting better!!

[Momto3]

Claudia - I am so glad that things are getting better!!!!!

[lexsmama]

Glad things are getting better Clau!

Stacy, the appt has been rescheduled for next thursday at 3:30. Dh wanted to be there with us to ask "his" questions. lol.

I have a pic of my sister in my phone I want to share, but I can't attach it in my email browser thingy on my phone. Hmmm... What do I do?

[sarahlynn]

Aww Claudia that is great!!!!!

Stacy im sorry about the car issues..ugh that just stinks..

Ok i need your thoughts..the NMSS has a family grant program you can apply for that helps yoru family take a vacation..i want to apply but than i think do we really deserve/need that..there are other familes who could use it alot more..:( should i apply..i would love love love help taking the kids to disney land this summer or next winter but i dont feel deserving :(

[without]

Sarah you go for it girl! You, Your DH and your babies are just as in need of a good family vacation as any one!

[Momto3]

You deserve it Sarah!

Ashley - No clue on the phone pics. I had to send mine to e-mail...save it to the computer...send it to photobucket and then copy them here. Too much work!

Stacy- Get a new car like Tara's! :biggrin:

[newmami]

Apply for it Sarah!! you and the kids need a stress free vacation!!

Hey Pam, how are you feeling today?

[without]

Thanks for asking Claudia... I am feeling a little hopless and negitive but its just because there isn't any thing I can do right now but sit and wait. On the other hand ... I have been honest with myself and realized even if its over between Rod and I (and he really hasn't said that at all) it has been worth the heart ache! He tought me so much about me and he reminded me what its like to be loved and adored by some one. I had almost given up on myself and her reminded me I am worth fighting for. So for now... I am just waiting to see how it plays out. Its all I can do. I go through waves of sadness as if I am morning his loss but it is getting much better and I keep telling myself think about how happy you will be the next time you all see each other because of this absents. :) I hurt but... it was so worth it!

[sja1508]

Pam, I am saying this will all the love in the world because I care for you and don't want you to ruin a good thing......

You have to chill out with Rod and give him some space right now.

I am a very needy and clingy person and have driven a few good people away because I want to smother them, especially in the beginning. Fortunately for me, Tara was so patient and put up with my crap until time passed and I knew I could trust her and had nothing to worry about.

From what you've told us, Rod hasn't done anything wrong, so until he does, you've got to trust him and give him the benefit of the doubt. Just because he is caught up with family issues now doesn't mean he has forgotten about you or is going away. He's just stressed and I'm afraid if you put too much guilt or pressure on him he's going to run. Just please talk yourself down and trust that the feelings between you two are real and once his Mom is better, things will be back to normal. I'm sure he loves talking to you, but if he feels guilty everytime he calls and hears it in your voice, he's not going to want to call anymore. kwim???

You are a wonderful person Pam and I know he's not going to want to lose out on that. Just try to continue going on with your life with Morgan and keep busy until he gets freed up again. We don't every hear you talk about the diet anymore or posting about your calories. Every post is about Rod and while we love hearing about him, we also love hearing about your success also. Don't lose yourself and the things that are important to you because you're busy with him. You always come first sweetie!!

I hope you are not mad because you are like a little sister to me and I just want whats best for you and I believe that will be a long term thing with Rod if you can "relax". Big hugs!!!

[sarahlynn]

i agree with Stacy..

PAM JUST STOP FOR A MINUTE AND ENJOY YOURSELF!! dont look into it so much, dont analyze it just stop and enjoy it..

what will be will be

[lexsmama]

Stacy's right, Pam. We love you so very much and want only the best for you. Let Rod take care of his family right now. You're still on his, but he's gong through a tough time.

Dang, I feel like I'm dying. An hour with Kristen and I can barely walk or lift the phone. How in the world am I going to make it doing this? A trainer's going to kill me.

[Momto3]

Heheh Ashley...no pain, no gain...:biggrin:


Stacy - Well said...

We love you Pam!

[without]

Good luck with the trainor I love that week feeling LOL lets me know its working! LOL

Your all are right and I don't call him al the time any more. I know he needs his space and I am OK with that. I am doing much better this week. Really. But I would think I would be unhuman if I didn't miss him and wish for an update. Some of its just breaking the habbit ya know. I mean we went from spending 2-3 hours a day talking to nothing or maybe 10 minutes every other day. I'll be fine. Sorry I know I have dorned on and on to you girls about this. Its like beating a dead horse it won't get me any place new. Sorry

[sja1508]

Don't be sorry! We are all here for you!!!!!

I just don't want you to write him off because you haven't heard from him. It's okay to miss him alot and I know he misses you too. I'm just saying try to sound upbeat when you do talk to him because he's under alot of stress right now without feeling guilty about letting you down. kwim?

We definitely want to hear when he does call and how it goes.

[lexsmama]

Oh, Pam, that's not what we meant at all. You can talk about it all you need to, just don't think he's already broken up with you over this. He hasn't even remotely said anything like that. HUGS!

Thanks, Lynn. Ugh. My quads and my whatver they're called inside the shoulders are killing me.

[without]

I think I need to come work out with you! i can't wait until the weather gets nicer so Morgan and I can start taking more walks.

I haven't writen him off. I just feel as if he needs me to be here for him when/if he calls but doesn't need me calling 4 times a day. He is a gental sweet man and I know he wouldn't just up and leave me with out talking to me about it. He needs his space and I respect that. Really it boils down to ... me not him. I hate being alone.. He gave me hope. Now its time for me to give back to him when he is ready. Thanks again

I am geting another YI I seem to be getting those all the time! Ugh! I am eating my yogurt but I am thinking maybe I should think about talking to my DR about it. I tend to get one a month right before AF.

[newmami]

Eeks with YI, I hope this one passes you Pam.

Ash, I remember the first day after intense workout... I actually needed help to get out of bed!!! that means the muscles are working, which is GOOD!!!

Hey Lynn, any news about the job for DH??? and your haircut?? I need to do family haircuts: me, Dani & Chris need one BAD!!! but I am afraid if Chris gets a haircut, he will look more like a little boy :(

I am swamped at work... hate this!!! I will be back as soon as I am done dealing with morons

[bel]

you guys go check Lina´s post about me eating stacy´s kitkats :D

[without]

:saywhat:Got'a love Morons!

[Momto3]

Sarah - Did you read that in Ohio a kindergartener was suspended for having a mohawk! bahahah His mother refused to cut it so she enrolled him in another school. I can't believe they would suspend a child over that!


Claudia - No news on the job hunt for DH. Obviously it doesn't look like he got either of the other two jobs that he had already interviewed for. The first application that he put out for one of the Cities (about 4 weeks ago) called him and he has an interview there on March 11. It will be like 2 months after he applied. Only the government waits that long to hire. Keep your fingers crossed.

[lexsmama]

Omg, that's weird about the mowhawk. Weird people.

I'd love to have you workout with me, Pam! BIG OL' HUGS!

Bel, your pics are so cute!

[without]

I have two dogs to groom tonight. Yeah, for more money but... they want me to transport the dogs back to there house and put them in there house when I am done because they are going to be at church Sigh... I really don't want to do this but I said yes. I hate it when I say YES and mean NO! LOL

[sarahlynn]

:eek: are you serious about the mohawk? wow cyrus would be goin to a differnt school i guess if they did that to him..

[newmami]

Pam, I hate when I do that too... but I am slowly learning to say no :winks:

I saw the picture miss stuffing my face with kitkats.... now I want chocolate!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for your DH Lynn... I know how frustrating and stressing it is... that is one reason why our credit card debt went sky high!!!

Ok, let me know which one you like best!

Uh huh :thumbsup: They said it was too disruptive to the class and it totally reminded me of when they wouldn't let Cy have his colored. Remember? Of course you do. :duh:

[Momto3]

[lexsmama]

ok so DH just called..he had a bad day at work..some guy accused him and two others of stealing? he was not happy when he called..said he already talked to someone about another job there which would be a day driving job..he works 2nd shift now..that would mean more family time if he had days..which would mean i have to give up m y peaceful nights alone with th ekids:laugh: oh well..i hope he gets it..i worry about him pushing it and loosing his job..he gets realllly angry..and he has been on edge as it is working with that child molester that hasnt been convicted yet..its consumes him..he rants about it every day..so i hope he can keep his cool and talk to him boss tomarow and work somthing out..he cant loooose this job .. the insurance is so good..i dont know what we would do..but ialso dont want him to work in an unhappy stressful situation..especially if they are accuseing him of stealing UGH

[lexsmama]

:silly:

[newmami]

Cold morning Ladies!! it was 35F here this morning... my poor kids, I hate getting them out of the house when it is so cold. :ohno:

Ash, I am so sorry you are hurting, unfortunately the only way to fix it is to keep working out, until your muscles get used to the workout... I used to take alkaseltzer and it sort of helped

Sarah, I am so sorry about your Dh's situation at work... I know first hand how awful it is to work on a hostile environment :wtf:. I hope he can make some changes and have a better work atmosophere

Ok so today I am again covering the reception... which means I am not planning on doing much work (he he he :laugh:) and look for party ideas, presents and all those important things in my life... I also made the resolution to finish couple of projects I have at home, which involve photo albums... and if I get ambitious at some point I will get into scrapbooking!!

[lexsmama]

Thanks Clau. I feel like I complain too much. :rolleyes: :laugh: But, I will keep on truckin'.

Glad you get some time to play. :wink: Covering receptions HAS to be fun.

[Momto3]

Well at least they give you time at work to get all your party planning done Claudia. That was nice of them!

I had the most vivid dream that I had one of my tubes untied (cuz we could only afford half the cost) and I got pregnant! I wish!

[lexsmama]

what a dream Lynn! I just dreamed of making tea. :laugh:

[newmami]

I don't recall my dreams... but Dani woke up crying because she dropped the blanket and she was cold

So I just put couple of things for sale on Craig's list... this is a productive day!!

Lynn, are you going to do the reversal???

[Momto3]

Claudia - Only if we win the lottery or if God has other plans and plans a miracle.

[newmami]

:( I hear you..........

[sarahlynn]

Well i sent in my application for that grant..they offer grants up to $3500 but sometimes split it up..which would be fine we just need alittle help..tickets to fly from here to orlando alone are $2200 :( so expensive when you live in the sticks.

[Momto3]

Sarah - Did you ever talk to that kid's grandparents about the video game?

[lexsmama]

Aaw, Sarah, what a night! Hugs!

[newmami]

Awesome Ash!!!

Oi Sarah, I am sorry about the rough night, and that Cy is still having nightmares because of the game :( My sister was like that, easy to impress, so I feel your pain.

I have a horrible mood today, I just want people to leave me alone!! and they are getting on my nerves quite quick!!!:rant:

[lexsmama]

Aaw, Claudia. I hope they all just go away. Planning is so much more important! Can you :sneeze:?

So, what's on the menu today?

Chicken and rice soup and crackers for me.

[sarahlynn]

DH called and i went to lunch with him..i had a chicken parmagean panini...and minestrone soup :) yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
