Good Day all!!!

Glad you had a GREAT birthday Claudia.

Lynn, I love the video! I have to go get that DVD now!

[Momto3]

Thanks Pam - She goes all the way up to "Z" but the phone video doesn't last that long.


Claudia - I agree about people who cry "foul" when being judged.

[sja1508]

Hey ladies!!! I just have to brag on myself for one minute. I've been so busy lately with work and school it's just crazy. Anyway......I wrote my first paper and got a 93% in one class and in the other class I've already taken my first 2 quizzes and gotten a 100% and 96%. I'm beginning to think I can actually do this!!!

Everyone doing okay today? I'm craving subway so I think I'm going to walk over and get one. Also, it will be good for my back to stretch. It's alot better than it was. Thank god for muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory's! He gave me a bottle of 40 painkillers (darvocet) but I haven't taken any. Anyone need a fix??? Huh huh?????

[Momto3]

Way to Go Stacy! Why yes, thank you...I'll have what she's having...:)

[newmami]

Yup, send couple of those puppies my way... my back is killing me today (I told you I was old...)
YAY Stacy for the good grades!! I am starting to believe that going back to school when you are an adult is not too complicated, at least on the brains side!!!

I am having leftover gnocchi and salad for lunch... and then we are having cake!!!

Stacy, I am hoping DH is sent to Jax one of this days, so I can take off a day and go visit you!

[without]

Yip-EEEE!!! Way to go Stacy!!! Wahoo!!!!

[Momto3]

I'm taking a nap at lunch...

[willsmama]

I get a half day today! WHOOP!

[without]

I am having a kit kat for lunch! LOL

[sarahlynn]

ok so can i vent AGAIN!

last night Dh was up at abotu 3:30 still watching tv and playing xbox..so i went to the bathroom and than he came upstairs when i went back up..in bed i said "ya know i wish i had just one day a week where you came upstairs and hung out with me..i know yoru not tired but you could stay up here till i fall asleep and than go back downstairs" he freaked out on me..told me i was attackeing him F this and F that..said if i want that he will have to switch jobs so he works a day shift (not possible).. i said you dont get home that late matt its between 9-11 there is no reason you cant com pu for awhile..than he thre in every excuse in the book..the kids are in our bed (maybe once a month i have a child in my bed) he isnt tired, im sleeping, doesnt want to wake me, on and on and than he said it wasnt going ot happen so if thats what i want i need to find someone else..after the swearing and being mean i just told him i was done and i couldnt do this anymore

:( i feel like crap..i wish i had just kept my mouth closed..just when i felt like things were a little better..and might be gettin better.. i made that move to see a therapis and i dont feel like matt is giving this marrige anything..

why could he say ok lets set aside a day a week where i come upstiars and we hang out..nope couldnt do that..just said its not gonna happen..:( i feel rotten..i think im gonna spend the night at my parents iwth the kids..i feel like my marrige is failing and not worth it anymore..

[without]

Sarah! i am so sorry! don't feel so bad its not all you! You need to be able to feel as if you can talk to Matt with out him jumping all over you for voicing the way you feel or ideas you have to improve things.

Sweety go stay with your mom and dad and have a good weekend. Maybe he just needs a wake up call! I am here for you if you ever want to talk.

thank you..im just sick to my stomach..

[without]

I know the feeling....when every time you try to talk to them about the problem they turn it around as if its all you. They say your nagging when all your really trying to do is be understood and fix the problem. Take a deep breath and your stong so I know you will do what ever you feel is best for you and your family.

[KimJ]

Afternoon guys. I'm stalking again.

Lynn - that video is too cute. She is a smart one!

Stacy - WTG on the classes. You can totally do it. (i'm right there with you working and going to school and taking care of kids so if i can do it you can do it!)

Claudia - I'm so glad you had a good birthday. And that your DH was nice and got you a super cool gift.

Sarah - big hugs. My marriage sounds a lot like yours except my DH hasn't lived with us for over a year. I totally know how you feel, when you speak up and they act like you're wrong for saying anything or asking for a little give from them. It's hard. You're strong. You'll do what's best for you and the kids i know.

Pam - i so want a kit kat now!

[sarahlynn]

thats exactly how i feel..he turns it to me all the time..even last night he said "and you just freaked out" i was like ???? what your the one who got up and started raiseing your voice, swearing and saying your attacked...i started a very calm conversation about soemthing that wasbuggin me..

ugh

i wish there was an easy answer to all this..im starting to feel like we made a huge mistake gettin married.

[sja1508]

Sarah, I'm so sorry sweetie. Enough is enough and something's gotta give.

I'd ask him seriously if he wants to be married to you or not. You are currently living together as roommates and nothing more. Even if he doesn't want sex for whatever reason, married people still talk, hold hands, kiss and provide companionship for each other. Marriage is 2 people, not just 1 person doing all the work.

If he can't set aside 1 freakin night to spend with you and leave the xbox alone, then he needs to go be single in his own bachelor pad or move in a frat house. It's time to grow up and be a man, father and husband. You can tell him I said so. :po:

[without]

Sarah... would he be willing to see someone with you?

[Momto3]

Hugs Srarah!

[willsmama]

:ita:


Hugs Srarah!


Ditto. I would stay at your moms tonight though.....just give it time/space.

[sarahlynn]

i know stacy that is what i said to him..i said i dont have husband i have a roomate..didnt go over so well but its the truth..

it just cant be all me..Pam i think he would but im tired of being the one to make things better..its always my issues, im the one who is unhappy so its my problem..so he may see someone together but i dont want to be the one to make that appt..he needs to do something to ya know..maybe he needs to be married to someone who doesnt need/want closeness..but thats not me..

i dont even know what to do..we dont communicate at all..i talk he yells and swears and feels attacked and it ends up like this..

[willsmama]

:comfort:

[Momto3]

I really am sorry Sarah. It sounds like he is the one having some sort of "young life crisis". You deserve more and if hearing that you have a roommate upsets him...too bad...truth hurts.

[without]

Sarah the last 3 years of my marrage was spent me trying to fix us! Your right.. it takes both of you to fix it. I made appointments Grant would come but wouldn't really open up and then we would have a home work assignment I would have mine done the next day and he would have to fill his out in the car 10 minutes before the appointment if he filled it out at all. So I know how you feel. Hugs!

[sarahlynn]

thats what i worry about pam. when i mentioned a marrige counselor before he siad he doesnt need someone telling him how bad he is or whats wrong with him..and i could go alone and if they want me there he may come..so yeah thats it..:( i would like to be able to talk to one another in front of a therapist. maybe he wouldnt blow up than and keep his cool and listen more

[without]

I don't know Sarah... really not a whole lot can be done if he isn't willing to man up and help fix the problem. I feel for you sweety! I have been there.

[sarahlynn]

I don't know Sarah... really not a whole lot can be done if he isn't willing to man up and help fix the problem. I feel for you sweety! I have been there.

i know you have :(

and i dont want him to be unhappy either ya know, i want us both to be happy either together or apart...

ugh is it 3:00 yet i am ready to go home...

[without]

I know and I mean this in the best way ... give it time but don't waste your time! I wasted 3 years trying to make it work and wish I had not. I am not saying you should leave him right now but... don't waste you life away hoping it will get better.

[newmami]

Sarah, I am so sorry sweetie... I don't understand why Matt is being like that, and it hurts me to see you are hurt. :comfort:

I sort of know where you are... I also used the term roomates, but me saying I AM DONE ARGUING was the biggest wake up call for DH... now we are both working to make it work
It takes 2 to make it work, not one... he needs to open up and tell you why he is being a butt... or just leave... you deserve to be happy, and either he helps or goes.... It is unfair that you have to fix everything, he is a big part of the problem

HUGS

[sja1508]

Okay, I'm sitting here at my desk and can't quit thinking about this. If he wants to act like a teenager Sarah, then treat him like one.

How about taping a note to the tv that say's.....

Come see me if you want your Xbox back.

That's right, I'd take it away until he spends some time talking to you. See how he likes that.....:comfort:

[without]

:cry:am i all alone?

[sarahlynn]

stacy i thought of that..but im tired of feeling like i have to force my husband tobe wiht me..thats how i feel...he just told me i could have brought it up to him when i wasnt so frustrated? i didnt know i was..maybe what i said came off totaly the wrong way..god i dont know..im just so down...i was so excited for the weekend now i just dont even care...im soo not a down person im always positive and lately ive been amess..somethign needs to change..i want to be happy gain

[sja1508]

You always let him get by with the crap of turning it around on you and it pisses me off! Don't let him do that.

Your marriage is in trouble and it's a serious matter. If you weren't scared and frustrated about it then what kind of wife does that make you? It's not always your responsibility to walk around and only talk to him when you're calm. You can't live life like that walking on eggshells all the time, watching what you say.

I wish he would step up, but you know he's not going to do it, so either you force him to talk or just give up. I know you get tired of doing all the work, but it's the only way it's going to get started.

[newmami]

Sarah, he is trying to make it YOUR fault and it is not. he is the one acting like a toddler, he is the one who doesn't want to be intimate, so IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!! Matt needs to grow up and be a man, if he cannot be one, he needs to leave and grow up. It is not fair to you or the kids to be in a stressful marriage... :crossed:

I am so sorry Sarah!! you are such a wonderful wife, he is a butt :rant:

Pam, you are not alone... I am here, but trying to do some work... this day is DRAAAAAAAGING!!! and it is about to start raining... wonderful! :po:

[sarahlynn]

i know stacy its always my fault..somehow im to blame..i end up being the one with issues who is unhappy and needs to do something..i should be able to go to my husband wiht anything at any time no matter waht my mood is or what its about..but if i do that than it blows up and its yelling and swaering and i cant take that..i hate it..im not like that..how can i go 50 years without beign able to tell the person im married to that im upset or angry or sad or need seomthing..how can that possible work :(

[newmami]

You cannot Sarah, you cannot go through marriage walking on eggshells, if there is a problem, you need to be able to speak out and BOTH of you work on solving it.... it is not a one way street, it takes 2 to make it work.

It breaks my heart Sarah, because you have done everything and then some to make it work, and Matt is not doing his part (for whatever reason). I am sure the MS is bringing a lot of issues in his mind, and he needs help to work on those....

I just had this thought.... maybe he is so scared about the MS, that he is pushing you away (involuntarily) so if something happens to him (God forbid) you and the kids are not hurt???

[sja1508]

I'm not trying to be cruel, but MS does not give him a valid reason for treating you like crap.

I'm all for doing everything to make a marriage work, but I think you've done it. I'd be doing a trial separation for a while. Either you go to your parents or he leaves, but I think that will be the true test. Either you'll miss each other and the light will come on (I hope so) or you all will realize you are happier apart. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Hugs!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

I just had this thought.... maybe he is so scared about the MS, that he is pushing you away (involuntarily) so if something happens to him (God forbid) you and the kids are not hurt???

i never thought of that..im so lost :( i wish he was better at communicating..didnt always feel attacked..i really think that no matter how i approached him last night or when it would have ended up like it did ya know..im just going..where do we go from here..we cant keep just pushing these situatiosn behind us and pretending they never happened..im gonna ask him if he will see the therapist with me next thurday..it would be a start..soemoen as a mediator..

[newmami]

I wish you the best Sarah, I truly do. You are a wonderful wife, I hope Matt can see that!
I agree with Stacy that he needs a BIG wake up call... maybe leaving for a while?? I know it is hard (I thought about it at some point), but maybe something MAJOR needs to happen so he changes his ways??

Loads and loads of HUGS

OK Pamela Sue, you complain that you are alone here, then you don't answer!!!

Everybody is gone here... apparently we the assistants are the only fools who work on Friday afternoon... WTF??? what I love is that everything runs smooth because we are here, but then everybody forgets about us, the "little people"

[without]

I just keep sitting here thinking I wish there was some thing I could do or say to help you Sarah! I hope he will go with you.

I wish it were time to go home I am so ready.

[Momto3]

Me too. I'm ready for the weekend.

I'm sorry. I have been here reading, I'm just speechless. I wish I had wonderful words of wisdom to say, but I actually hurt for you Sarah.

[newmami]

I am ready to go home ladies. Have a wonderful weekend

Sarah, I hope at least Matt is willing to listen to what you have to say without being defensive :comfort:

[lexsmama]

Hey girls. I know I'm the one on here after you've all gone home. Not starting Monday, though. lol. Back to the old grindstone.

Sarah, I'm speechless. I truly am. Matt's being so immature. Maybe he is having issues with the MS, but it's not a reason to treat you that way. Michael pushed me away for a while when all his was coming to a head. I just wish I had some magical words of wisdom for you. Do your best but don't waste your time. We love you and are here for you!

Clau, your bracelet's done and it's stinkin' gorgeous. The topaz and diamond colors go so well together. Especially with the pearls. I'll post you a pic tomorrow. I love both of them so much.

[sarahlynn]

thanks so much ladies..you dont know how much each of you means to me..to have you to vent to and really let it all out to.. :(

im waiting up now for matt to get home, im gonna bite the bullet and talk to him. either it will go ok and we cna try move on and work this out..or he will flip out and than im done.

im gonna tell him two things..one there will be no more yelling and swearing..its unecessary, hurtful, disrespectful and rude..i didnt grow up in a home where my mom was yelled at adn i wont be yelled at as an adult either..so that end today..last night was the last nigth..if he feels himself going overboard and feeling attacked and ready to blow he had better get the hellll out of the house until it passes..cause there is one more chance..

and i want ot be able to go to my husband at any time for anything regardless of my mood..no way ami holding everything inside and only talking ot him when im happy and have a smile on my face..thats not the way a marrige works..so he needs to be there and open to that..

thats it..we shall see how it goes..part of me just wants to go to bed..and shut it all out.but cy it at grandmas and lulu is sleeping so its a good time to get it out..if he starts to yell i dont want the kids up and hearing it..

[lexsmama]

Good luck Sarah. I've been thinking of you all night.

[Momto3]

Morning Ladies!

Sarah - How did it go with Matt?

[Trini]

Does any one else ever feel like a topic killer? :oops: I don't post a whole lot but I do read a lot of the post and spend a good 3 hours a day on APA but it seems like when I do post I kill the topic and no one responds after me. :shock:

Just call me the Topic Killer! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

I thought it was a thread killa. :D :wink:

[lexsmama]

Morning girls! Back at work. Lex did NOT want to wake up this morning. lol. And dh's been on a job downer for tow days. He's questioning why he's applied for so many jobs and not getting interviews. He's applying for a hecka lot of the ones in Aberdeen.

Thank you for the thoughts. Pam, dh has a teaching job, but he is having issues with his certification. SFA's being a butt and he's afraid he won't get the job back. At the same time, he wants me to be able to sah with lex if I want. He's a mess. lol.

[newmami]

Morning lovely ladies!!

Sarah, how did it go with Matt, where you able to talk to him?? I hope so sweetie! :hugs:

Bel, I was expecting pictures of the HSM party... where are they??

Ash, the bracelet is BEAUTIFUL!! thank you much!! let me know how much I owe you and your paypal account please!!! :gome:

Yes I am wearing green by mistake, I didn't realized it was St. Patricks day today :huh:

I am so tired and grumpy today, stupid AF :sleep::po:. Saturday we went to Seaworld and had a BLAST!! Dani loved the dolphins and the penguins, she was too cute... Chris was fascinated by the dolphins as well, and he went to the carousel!! Sunday we stayed home and DH decided not to help, so I spent all day doing laundry, taking care of the kids, and picking up after everybody :rant:. I even went out on his son because he threw a tantrum and was slamming doors, and woke up Danielle....

The battery on my car died Saturday. DH got upset when the car would not start (he is terrible handling situations like those because they "ruin his day"... ummm no, only if YOU let it ruin the day) so all calmed I called AAA and waited... like 10 min later a good samaritan came and jumped us, I was so emotional (PMS) that I cried... then at the Seaworld parking it happened again, and this 2 guys jumped us again... Dani was sitting in the front seat and waved bye bye and blew them kisses, the guys were waving byebye back, it was so cute!! and Chris was playing in the back seat in the meantime (I was glad I was sitting down for a while)

I spoke with my parents yesterday and my dad said the cutest thing, he said he missed me terribly :(.... I hate being so far from them, and with a day like yesterday, I just wanted to pack and leave

I have NOTHING to do at work, so it is going to be a looooooong day....

[sarahlynn]

Naa i fell asleep i didnt talk to him...:( couldnt bring it up this weekend..i just could do it..not sure why..i didnt want an argument again..and the weekend was going ok so i just didnt want to rock the boat..yeahi know im a wimp :(


good news though..i am gonna go to GF i think this weekend and visit my GF..im so excited to get out of town..go out..have fun

[bel]

this is Holy Week I only work until wednesday morning :celebrate:

[Momto3]

Claudia - Sorry about your bad weekend with DH but you handled everything beautifully! Chris and Dani behave so cutely. Just love them.

Speaking of beautiful...that is Katelyn's new word. She saw DH's balloons for his birthday and goes..."oh be - u - ti -ful!"

[lexsmama]

I have to work until noon on Friday, Bel. Then, I'm off. Noon services all week.

I'm pming you, Clau.

Sweet little words, Lynn! :)

[sarahlynn]

claudia im sorry about the car issues :( but yay for seaworld..i loved seaworld..were meeetin there right when i come to florida??

belaaaa i miss you to...

more good news i weighed this morning and i was 145.8 :) thats down from 150...in two weeks :)

[bel]

Stacy did you receive the pics??:silly:

[newmami]

YAY for the weight loss Sarah!! sorry you couldn't talk to Matt... I hear you because I rather suck it up than talk to DH (specially when I am so frustrated)

Totally jealous of the Holy week.... both my parents and sisters are off this week... GRRR!!

Beautiful!! yay Katelyn for the new word!! I love when they learn new words!

Dani is getting better at identifying colors, and she keeps surprising me how good of a big sister she is... Saturday she shared her dinner with Chris, while I was crying my guts out seeing how good she is.... things like that reinforce that I am doing an OK job raising this 2 little terrors!

[lexsmama]

We bought a potty. Omgosh, my baby's too young! :sniffle: Here's the deal. He isn't ready to train yet, but he's interested in sitting on the potty and seeing what happens. So, we let him sit rather than try to pry open our legs or sit on our laps.

Btw, dh got me an IPod Nano from ubid.com! It's green.

[Momto3]

Yay for Lex and being interested. I guess I should get a potty chair rather than the one that goes on the toilet. Maybe Katelyn will be interested then.

Claudia - you are doing BETTER than an ok job in raising your babies!

[sja1508]

Stacy did you receive the pics??:silly:


I just looked at them and they are awesome!!! I can't wait for you to get a chance to post them so everyone can see how much fun you all had! I'm so glad she liked the barbie. Santi is just the cutest thing ever!!!

Sarah, yea for going out of town! I would kill to be 145, that's my goal weight. Only 25 lbs to go!!!

My Mom, Zack and I are flying to Texas in April to see my aunt. She is my Mom's half sister and she's just wonderful. I'm a little nervous to get Zack on a 2 1/2 hr plane ride but hopefully we can keep him occupied. I hate to be "that one" on the plane. ya know?? Other news is I had my first test in my Religion class and I got a 100....woo hoo!!! :cheer:

Ashley, those bracelets are just gorgeous. Once we have baby #2 and I know birthstones and such, you will be getting my order. Only 11 days until the big U/S!!!!

[lexsmama]

I'm ready to make it, Stacy! They're sooo gorgeous in person.
Where are you going in Texas, Stacy? :wink: :tongue:
OMGosh... it's already time for the big US! Yipee!!:cheer:

[sarahlynn]

Stacy that is wonderful you did so well on the test...YAY!!

[Momto3]

Wooo Hooo Stacy! I can't wait to find out! I'm thinking PINK!

[bel]

yay Im so happy you liked them stacy! I cant wait to post them! I hoping photobucket will cooperate soon! :rant:
Yay on U/S! Im sending you the gift card now, let me know when you receive it please!

Saratoo and ash Im waiting you guys!I cant wait to chat!

Clau Im so sorry you miss your parents and had a blah week end! but you have two gorgeous kiddos, dont let your self feel bad for anything!

Lynn I wanna see new pics of your princess!!!

Ash you make such an awesome job on those!! they are just stunning!!

[Momto3]

Ugh! Shelly was back to the doctor this morning. She has strep throat...again/still!

[bel]

:storkgirl: YAY I vote for pink too!!! :storkgirl:

[sja1508]

I need you decorating divas to help me. This is some of the bedding we are thinking about. Tell me which one is your favorite. It's really hard for us for a girl because we like pink but not too much pink and we are having to go with black furniture because we already have a piece that's black. I found the cutest brown and pink set but it looks crappy with a black crib. :ohno:

the boy options....

this is the front runner
http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com/IWCatSectionAndProductView.process?Section_Id=4659 7

all we've found so far for a girl
http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/ban/banbub0066.html

I just found this and like it but haven't shown it to Tara yet
http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/lai/lai15004v.html


Hey Ash, we do you live in Texas? We are flying into Dallas and going to Ft Worth, Benbrook area.

[bel]

light pink and purple?? sand color with "some" pink?? let me check, Id avoid boys themes, Im pretty sure it´s a girl :wink: be back in a sec :dance:

[Momto3]

I LOVE Brown and Pink. I think if you add cream color in the mix then it won't look bad with black furniture at all!

The third one (bubble gum) is the one I like best out of your posts.

[bel]

This is girly but not too much pink, would match perfectly with black furniture
http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/nb10/index.cfm?pkey=cbdgnbd%7Cb

so does this! too cute and femenine, but not too pink also
http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/f1011/index.cfm?pkey=cbdgnbd%7Cb

[newmami]

Lynn, it all depends on the kids, Dani doesn't care for the chair, but will use the seat in the toilet.
And I agree the best way to do this is go with the flow... when they are ready, they will use the toilet

he he Ash, my IPOD is also green!!!

yay for the big U/S Stacy, I am excited for you guys!!

[lexsmama]

I'm sooo waiting for the ipod. I'm all excited.

[sarahlynn]

i dont like the boy ones :)

i like the 1st girl one..the bubble gum

[lexsmama]

I like the first boy option and both of the girl options. I like #2 that you haven't shown Tara the best, though. They'd both be gorgeous with dark mahogany cribs or something else dark. OR! Oak. I love oak.

Sarah - More protein and less carbs will keep you fuller, longer. Not that you asked for my input.

[lexsmama]

Red, green, or black?

[Momto3]

OMGosh Sarah! Are you ok? Bet its going to be sore today. Tell DH you need him to rub it for you...

So my nephew's girlfriend had their baby yesterday. Shaun Michael, Jr...on the 17th! Ha! Can ya get any more irish sounding than that! What would that make him to me...my Grand Nephew? My Great Nephew?

[bel]

hello! morning ladies!

sorry about your bum saratoo!

Lynn how old is she?

[bel]

hey you guys, I posted Ceci´s party pics :wink: specially for you auntie Stacy:silly:

[Momto3]

Lynn how old is she?

My nephew's girlfriend? I've never met her but I am guessing 23 or 24. DH has two older brothers. One will be 50 this year and the other is 46ish. The younger of the two has two older boys that are in their early 20s.

I feel so bad for DH. He is home sleeping right now. He got up yesterday morning at 4:30, went to work and worked all day, came home with the baby, made dinner, relaxed for a few then left for work again at 9pm, only to come home this morning at 5am. That is a rough day! Surprisingly I did not sleep well because I kept waking up to see if he was home yet.

Holy crap! I forgot to mention I got the bracelet that Ashley made yesterday. Talk about super fast shipping! And its even more beautiful in person! I LOVE it! Thanks again Ashley!

[lexsmama]

Morning!

Ouch for the butt Sarah! I hope you put some ice or peas on it! lol.

I'm sooo glad you like it Lynn! Clau, yours is off today!

Sweet little babies. Congrats on your great nephew, Lynn!

Anyone else having killer allergies?!

[without]

Ashlye~yes to the killer Allergies! My head has been killing me.

Bel~ love the party pics! Cici look like she had a blast.

Sarah~OUCH! on the bum! Hows it feeling today? and how did you fall?

Lynn~ I bet you DH is wore out.

CLAUDIA?????:dunno:

[bel]

lol Lynn I dunno why I thought she was a teen or something :duh:

[without]

Bel... I am the same way! When I hear "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" I think teen. LOL Thats why I have a hard time knowing what to call Rod. LOL

[lexsmama]

Where is Claudia? Yoo hoo!

The party pics were so fun to look at! I bet it was another amazing party!

[lexsmama]

I couldn't call Michael my bf either. It felt sooo weird. Now fiance was easier to say. lol.

[bel]

now I should start planning santi´s :hero:
Its on april 15th :shocker: how didnt I thought of that when I was TTC :duh:
and Im organizing a dinner for our wedding aniversary on friday :wink:

[lexsmama]

Oh how fun, Bel!

[sarahlynn]

:( i'm still pretty sore...i was coming down the stairs and i backtracked cause lucea was coming behind me..when i steped backwards up the stairs i missed the step and went down..i just sat on the step and cried..(stupid emotions from my period) and than i went downstairs and cried..lucea sat with me :( kept huggin me and looking at stairs and yelling NO NO NO NO...i left a note for DH that i fell down the stairs..but he didnt come up to check on me when he came home :( i woke at 2:00am and went down to get a drink..he was on the computer..he said "You fell?" i said "yeah" he said "are you ok" i said "yes" and went back to bed..than i couldnt sleep cause i was all mad he didnt come up to see me so i was up from 2-5 :( stareing at the tv..

[lexsmama]

:comfort: Aaw, Sarah. I'm sorry.

[bel]

sorry hon :comfort:

[Momto3]

I'm sorry too Sarah.....:comfort:

[newmami]

Oh Sarah, I am so sorry about the fall, and that Matt was so insensitive about it!! :sniffle: I hate that he is being so childish :(

I am here, just had to work and post the pictures for the swap!!

Lynn, YAY for the new auntie!! and sorry Dh is working so hard. And hey, no worries about being :dance: that he is out.... DH is out all next week, and I am very very happy!! :gome:... how can you miss them if they are always there???

No allergies here, THANK GOD!! but I do feel for you ladies and babies who suffer them

Dh and I were talking yesterday about moving, custody of his son and all that... he thinks his son would not be able to go with us (bummer :yeehaw:) so he would take him all available vacations.... is it bad that it makes me happy that he would not be with us 27/4???????????

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that FIL is out of the hospital, the stroke was pretty mild, and he can talk, he just sounds like a drunk. He is too cute, he cannot wait to go back to work!!

and I came to the realization (admit) that the only reason I get the baby fever is because I feel cheated, and I still "need" the little girl I was supposed to have... I actually get jealous when people here have another baby girl...... I am awful!!!:pace::shame:

[sarahlynn]

claudia yay for talking with DH about the move..and im so sorry DSS couldnt come with full time..i know it breaks ya heart...and im happy FIL is out of the hosptial..

bel yay for plannin santis party..come plan my lu's

i feel like a whiner.. :(

[bel]

and I came to the realization (admit) that the only reason I get the baby fever is because I feel cheated, and I still "need" the little girl I was supposed to have... I actually get jealous when people here have another baby girl...... I am awful!!!:pace::shame: arent you my twin?!?!? geez!

[lexsmama]

I'm ready for a little girl, too Claudia. I get to hold so many at church that my clock is starting to tick like the Edgar Allan Poe's poem A Telltale Heart.

[bel]

saratoo go check ceci´s party pics!
where is my stacy?!?!?

[sarahlynn]

you all need to start having more babies... :)

i love the pictures bel..love love love them...

[Momto3]

Claudia - I am right there with you on the baby girl. DH is trying to make her one, but I don't think Katelyn is going to be a girly girl and I wish she had a sweet little sister gorowing up so she wasn't alone.

[lexsmama]

I hate that we have to wait, but Michael's on a self pity spiral on how he can't provide for us. So, I'll wait my year out... Can I pout now?

[sarahlynn]

pout allll you want

[bel]

moving where Clau... Im lost :dunno:

[lexsmama]

:crying: :sniffle: :crying: :sniffle:

[bel]

what ash???

[willsmama]

I am totally lost.
Bel- you are so beautiful!! I love your wedding pic.

[lexsmama]

I got to pout. Sarah said so. :silly:

[Momto3]

So when Macy's has a one day sale that is on the 19th...but the "preview" day is the 18th...does that mean the items are on sale and you can buy them on the 18th?

[lexsmama]

Yep.

[Momto3]

ok good...but that is just stupid...why don't they make it a two day sale?

[bel]

so you can drool over the forbiden to buy stuff :rolly:

[lexsmama]

Okay, so I'm teaching a scrapbooking class for four weeks. We have about an hour and a half each week. (Wednesday nights.) I have a couple of mini albums I'd like you to tell me which you like better. And, would you do a whole album on yourself?

http://store.scrapbook.com/rp-albo38.html

http://store.scrapbook.com/sg-11008.html

http://store.scrapbook.com/sg-11009.html

http://store.scrapbook.com/bg-alb-956.html

http://store.scrapbook.com/mr-pp675.html

http://store.scrapbook.com/mr-pp679.html

[lexsmama]

I haven't the foggiest, Lynn. It's like a preview for cardholders or "special people." Weird.

[Momto3]

IDK Ashley...I am clueless when it comes to scrapbooking.

[lexsmama]

I was just wondering what appealed the most to you.

[newmami]

Everybody can whine, pout or have pity parties here!! that is why we are a support group, right??

Ash, about the albums, I like the second and the last one... do you get to decorate the album as well?? and No, I would not do a scrapbook about me... but YES for my kids (if I had the time and talent) :pace:
I am jealous how Michael has the mentality of providing for his family, I wish that my DH was a little more old fashion that way......

I agree on the stupidity about the preview for the sales day..... :rolly:

BEL, we are dying to get out of Florida, Dh has sort of a job opportunity in Tennessee (it is there, but it has not been approved yet) in a beautiful city. So next week he is going there for business, and to scout the area... if it looks like a nice place, sometime I would go and visit as well, and when the job offer is official (he knows the manager and he wants DH to work with him), we will move to Tennessee.

Glad to hear I am not alone with the "where is my little girl feelings"....:grouphug:

[without]

Claudia... what city in TN?

[sarahlynn]

Ash i like #2 and i wouldnt do a whole book on me..family, pets, kids yes but nada on me.. :)

caludia i thought your DH was gettin a job in ND??? im lost :)

darn it i forgot my walking shoes and its sooo nice out today :(

[bel]

Clau aww how cool you wanna move, have you searched flight tickets from DF? how far would that be from orlando? are you excited? your parents are coming in no time ugh? :)

You guys...opinions please...what do you think about this party theme for santi?? football isnt that usual here so this might be a hit...do you like it?!?!?
http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse&origin=catalogProducts.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=12&sku=PT246&prodCatId=378060&mode=Browsing&erec=7&sp=true&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&cm_re=PS-_-PPack-_-F1L1&N=378060&sd=All+Star+Football+Party+Theme

[lexsmama]

That could be lots of fun, Bel!

Thanks for the input, girls. I'm in such a bind for this class. I'm so not in the creative mood.

[bel]

ash I dont know anything about scrapbook, I need you to teach me LOL

[sarahlynn]

Bel that would be a fun theme...

you guys how can it be A 23 month old can make an 8 year old cry on a daily basis :(

lucea is so mean to her big brother you guys..she bit him ON THE BUTT day before yesterday..yesterday got him on the arm...pulls his hair and is hitting him on a daily basis..i know he wants to retaliate but wont do it (thankfully) i dont want a brawl everyday and dont condone hitting...and i think more than anything it reallly hurts his feelings..

when she bit him yesterday she sat in time out adn than afterwards i said "you hug brother, you hurt him" and the little brat wouldnt do it..well than when i got her to she didnt even put her arms out just leaned on him and stared at him like "YOU NARK how could you get me in trouble"

[newmami]

I like the football theme Bel, very boyish! Not sure what Santi likes, but check this website http://partysuppliesworld.com/pages/frames/birthdays_home.html

The place will be CLEVELAND, TN, in the East part. It is 2hrs far from Atlanta, and fairly close to NC as well. I think it is 1 hr from Knoxville.
Tickets from Mexico should be cheaper, it is so expensive to fly to Orlando!! and not that many options.... how far from Orlando?? maybe 1.5 hrs flight, having to stop in Atlanta

I hate my new supervisor, she has no leader manners, all she does is sit her butt in the office and send emails or plan conference calls.... UGH!!! :pokey:

[bel]

I think she is santi´s lost twin :chinscratch: there is not one day by pass by he doesnt do her something, she has a huge red bump in her cheek now since he bitted her yesterday :crossed:

[newmami]

In my house it is the opposite, Dani is the meanie.... she hit Chris yesterday with her Lighting McQueen, so I put her on time out and grouded McQueen for hitting Chris. This morning she asked for him and I told her "McQueen is on time out because he hit Chris, and that was bad"... see how that works

[bel]

thants what I do with santi times out, "I love you but you hit (or bit) your sissy, it hurts her a lot" when he makes silly face to leave I say "no, stay there you are grownded" :rolleyes: not that he cares that much, but at least I think he gets he did wrong...

[sarahlynn]

yeah i have been doing the super nanny time outs..where i put her there tell her why..than when she gest up i say YOU SIT and than when she gets up i dont talk to her at all just put her back .. i can even look at her and she knows to sit back down...she hates it..but what else can ya do..persistence is the key i guess..

im hungry..i have soup for lunchy..progresso..only 200 calories..cant beat that..

[willsmama]

I already had my lunch.
:(

Too early. Now I am stuck. I weigh in at Weight Watchers tonight though, so i can't eat anymore....:(

[sarahlynn]

I already had my lunch.
:(

Too early. Now I am stuck. I weigh in at Weight Watchers tonight though, so i can't eat anymore....:(

ohman girl i would go nutso....i have to drag out my lunch and make myself wait till 12:30 so that i dont get to hungry in the afternoon..i do have a granola bar for a snack later..i can only go like 4 hours than i am hungry..

good luck at the weigh in..my weigh in takes place in my bathroom.. :)

[lexsmama]

I have turkey, cheese and crackers for lunch. Blech.

[Momto3]

Good luck at your weigh in Tracy.

Sorry about Lulu biting, Sarah.

So I went to Macy's for their fabulous sale and the suit I saw the other day was gone. They didn't have my size. Oh well, wasn't meant to be. So I bought Katelyn an Easter dress. Actually I got her two cuz I couldn't decide and DH was no help over the phone so I will take one back once he sees them.

[sarahlynn]

mmmmmmm soup..done with lunch..now what..my hungry!!!!!!

dh just called to ask if i wanted to take monday off to fish ???? WTF

[lexsmama]

Maybe he's trying to make an effort??

[willsmama]

GRR GRR GRR.

Okay, I am MAD.

DH has planned NOTHING for Will's birthday and when I ask him to go pick up a cooler at my moms (ON HIS WAY HOME) he ARGUES with me saying it doesn't MAKE SENSE to get another cooler. Well, REALLY!? It makes sense to ME, and I am the one planning the whole THING so, REALLY WHY DO YOU CARE NOW.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Grr.

[lexsmama]

:comfort: I'm sorry Tracy.

[willsmama]

Its no big deal, which makes me wonder why he'd question me over a frapping cooler! ARGH! :)

[sarahlynn]

Maybe he's trying to make an effort??

yeah i think it was an effort.. :( i think im just so down with things i dont even know how to respond..




dam n it tracy he should have gotten the cooler no questiosn asked :lol:

[newmami]

Why does he has to make a big deal for a cooler?? just follow orders and no one will be hurt!

:sniffle: My office husband quit today, and he is gone... I didn't had the chance to say goodbye... he was my best friend here, and the one who made it bearable to come to work... my heart is broken :boohoo:

[willsmama]

OH NO CLAUDIA!!! :( do you know why? How to contact him?

[newmami]

He was fed up with this place, and he got a very good opportunity
I have his cell phone and home email address, and he has mine... I just wanted to say goodbye :(

[willsmama]

:( :( Maybe you guys could do a 'goodbye' lunch in a week or so!?

SUCKY !

[sarahlynn]

oh no claudia that stinks :(

any other office husbands you could take on?

[newmami]

Oh no!! mo more office husbands, thank you very much!!
Yes, I am going to call him and see if we get together for lunch

And the other assistant is out because of a family emergency, so I am SWAMPED with work... ugh I need a drink... or chocolate!!!

[sarahlynn]

mmmmmmmmm chocolate...i have my granola bar calling my name but im tryin to wait till at least 3 oclock


da mn i was lookin at my big bruise on my butt cheek and i have celulite..i hate celulite darn it

[bel]

I could share my chocolate, I just dont have any now :comfort:

[lexsmama]

I figured it out! I have everything ordered and drawn out for my class. It'll be a portfolio with pages inside it that will be built upon for the 4 weeks! Ohmygoodness, I'm excited.

[lexsmama]

I'm off til this evening girls. Got a meeting with my counselor and I get to go home. I'm so excited. Bye!

[bel]

ekk ash dont leave us :( I miss chating with you...
have a nice class! I wish I could go and learn with you

[newmami]

Awesome Ash!! so the scrapbook will be one for all the attendees??? sounds fun!! I am sure you are a wonderful teacher

So the OH (Office Husband :lol:) called me, I told him it was mean of him to leave without saying goodbye.... but we will do lunch either this or next week (before he starts working). He said he wanted to tell me Friday but didn't wanted to upset my weekend.... I don't blame him of course!! his boss was an arse with him... I told him I am sad, not upset.
Then he told me something like "it was a joy working with you, in my whole career I have never enjoyed so much working with someone like I did with you" and of course I am sitting in my desk crying.... :boohoo:

Oh well, it is going to suck coming to work... now more than ever I hope we can move out of here!!!

[sarahlynn]

BTW, I'm off too on Friday! Yay me!

[bel]

Im off too, it´s Holy Friday here :dance:

morning my ladies!!

I miss you guys like crazy on weekends also :)

[sja1508]

Morning ladies!!! I sure miss you all so much! It sucks having to work and go to school...no APA time. :cry:

I'm off on Friday too. I think I'm going to take Zack to daycare then clean my entire house. Sounds like fun doesn't it? :ohno:

[lexsmama]

Morning girls!

I'm off half a day Friday. We don't Get Good Friday off, but I had to take half a day for a bday/Easter party at 2. At least Lex and his Dada are off together. hehe.

I'm so excited about the class, Clau. It'll build upon itself for the 4 weeks and all they bring is scissors/trimmer, adhesive and black and white photos. I'm giddy to get my products in that I ordered too. lol. Okay, Stay, you're right. I WOULD be most likely to go broke buying that stuff. hehe.

[bel]

Stacy did you receive my gift card?

[lexsmama]

I put lex's bunny pic in the photo section...

[newmami]

We do not have Friday off :( I have to work all day... bummer.......

Dani totally got the McQueen is grounded, she behaved so good with Chris, and then when she started throwing things, she put herself on time out... she is too cute

So apparently Dh is having a hard time with the decision on moving, because he doesn't want to leave his son here.... which I understand.... so today I am :( because we may be stuck here.... ugh!!!:po: I do think if we move to a better area with better schools, the Judge would take that into consideration, but Dh is too chicken to fight for that.... another reason why I wish his son didn't exist, I HATE to be tied because of him (and of course DH, who makes the decisions regarding his son)

I am swamped with work today, as the other assistant is out.... and I am :sniffle: as well.... I am seriously considering looking for another job now... if we are not going anywhere, why bother staying here????

TODAY OFFICIALY SUCKS!!! I think I am going to go out and get some comfort food (read soup) for lunch.

[lexsmama]

:comfort: I'm sorry it's such a sucky day, Clau. I wish your dh would see what all this is doing to the rest of his family, too.

[newmami]

Me too Ash......

Where is everybody?? working???

[bel]

awww Clau I wish i had a magig powder to make your life a little easier and happier! I wish you can move or find another job you enjoy very soon :(

[lexsmama]

Working some. Dealing with mail that came back to us.

[sarahlynn]

im sorry claudia that your DH is having a hard time with moving..it has to be very hard to think about leaving a child behind..i couldnt imagine not seeing cy often..it would break my heart..:( i think finding another job sounds like a good option for now , i know how unhappy you have been at that one. .it would be a good change for you

[newmami]

I am just hoping that the quality of life and schools is better in TN, because I know a judge would take that into consideration when it comes to custody issues. Also I would like to work only part time, that is another plus, as his son would not have to stay on extended care @ school... we will see... I guess I am hoping for the best, expecting the worse

The customers from the other Assistant are driving me INSANE!!! :scream::rant:

I got some lotion in my eye and it hurts like a MOFO... idiot!!

I think my OH misses me already, because he called twice :laugh: he already said that if there is an opportunity in his new job (another bank) he will call me :dance:. It is a community bank, so it is smaller and more customer oriented than the crappy wanna be big bank I work with

[willsmama]

I have tomorrow and Friday off to prep for Will's first birthday! :)

I think there is something going on with my daycare lady...she keeps having doctor appts...:(

Oh, and I lost 4 lbs!! WHOOP!

(I had gained .4 last week, so i was making up for a bad weigh in!)
:)

9.4 lbs down. At least 10 more to go!

[sarahlynn]

YAY tracy on the weight loss...together we will looooose it all...

today i start walking at lunch..why am i nervous about walking alone..darn it..i need to get to scheels and get pepper spray

[Momto3]

Claudia - I am sorry. I hope your OH comes through and gets you a job at his new bank.

Tracy - WTG on the weight loss! Keep it up!

[sja1508]

Stacy did you receive my gift card?

Not yet sweetie. Is it an electronic thing that is supposed to come to my email or is it coming to the house?

[bel]

nop to your mail! sorry hon! Im so ashamed!! Ill go check WTH hapenned again :(

see you monday guys! :sadbye:

[lexsmama]

wtg Tracy!!

See you later, Bel!

[Momto3]

Yesterday at lunch my parents asked the baby what she wanted to drink and she goes "Hot Chocolate" :shock::saywhat::shocker: Where the heck did that come from? No one in my family has had Hot Chocolate in months!

[willsmama]

That is odd! Maybe she saw it on TV?!

[lexsmama]

Weird, but yummy!

[sarahlynn]

[willsmama]

I try to eat lots of things with fiber, but those cause me to not like myself after! I also get to see my friends month old twins tonight! WHOOP! :)

[lexsmama]

I'm so immature. I always snicker a little bit when one of the ladies tells us she has to pee.

[willsmama]

hehehe. I snicker at a lot of stuff I shouldn't. :)

[Momto3]

SDo you were snickering at me? Uh huh...I heard you.
