Morning Ladies...its my Friday today! Yay me!

[without]

Its my Friday today too! The U of A doesn't give us Good Friday off but... Good Friday fell on the last day of Spring break and we always get the last day of Spring Break off so ... therefore we get good Friday off this year. LOL

[lexsmama]

Morning! You girls are lucky that today's your friday. I'm working at least half a day tomorrow. Then parties. My allergies are going to kill me!

We find out about Tara and the big u/s today, right?

[Momto3]

Morning! You girls are lucky that today's your friday. I'm working at least half a day tomorrow. Then parties. My allergies are going to kill me!

We find out about Tara and the big u/s today, right?

NEXT Thursday the 27th!

[newmami]

Morning lovely ladies... it is almost 10 am and I am ready to run away from here!!! :scream:

HEY PAM!! I thought you were out on Spring break, nice to see you back

Lynn, I like your hair color, and Katelyn is just too cute.

I am sick and tired of this place... my so called supervisor does NOTHING, she was supposed to help as the other assistant is out, well yesterday afternoon she did NOTHING, so I have to pick the slack, then it was our turn (my dept) to cover reception, which I am NOT doing because I am already swamped with work, and this moron wants me to go scan a document because he is so useless and stupid he cannot do it on his own.... WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?? I just want to run and cry....

And yes, I am working all week.....

Today it is rainy and gloomy... I hate days like this, they make me:pace:

[sarahlynn]

CLAUDIA are you lookin for another job? you need to start hun..you cannot go to work miserable everyday :(

im all packed and ready for the trip..

[sarahlynn]

grrr AH i hate when i make mistakes at work...

[newmami]

Well, I wasn't going to look for another job because of the possibility to get out of FL... I thought there was no point on getting a job for couple months, then leave.... but now I am having second thoughts as I am so fed up here!!
I will make a decision once DH comes back from TN... because that trip can be the one that settles the deal

Have tons of fun with your GF Sarah!!!

[lexsmama]

I'm off tomorrow! We just got an email from our president of the university! Woo hoo! I'm so excited!

[lexsmama]

NEXT Thursday the 27th!

Whoo, boy, I'm off today. lol.

[sarahlynn]

yeah that makes sense claudia..wait and see what DH says..maybe things will work out with that job..do you think there is any way you could DSS to move with you guys? how old is he 10? can he be part of the decision making process..or doesnt the mom want that? :( youguys need to be happy and need soem change..

yay for the day off

[Momto3]

Claudia - I am so sorry your job sucks! When is your DH going to TN to check things out?

[sarahlynn]

hmmmmmmmmmmm its only 10:30....im already ready for lunch and ready to go home..

[lexsmama]

Me too.

[newmami]

Me three Sarah!!

Lynn, DH is going to TN next Monday, the whole week. :gome:

The original idea was to see if we could take his son with us, honestly the mom cares about having him for the child support :shocker: she doesn't give a rats a s s about him (sad enough, he knows this)... but will fight to keep him so she can get her stupid monthly check....
I know there is a way to get him to move with us, I am sure the Mediator/Judge will hear what he has to say, as he is old enough, and if we can prove that he would have a better life, the Judge will take that into consideration (yes we can, we do not yell at each other constantly, we are a family)... good schools and a nice neighborhood will also be a plus (again, not hard comparing to the boonies he lives in right now)
I would not mind if he is with us, as long as I can get out of here.... I am sure being on a positive family environment will do good for him, and the situation between me and him would improve... he doesn't have any guidance or mother figure, so he has a hard time when I discipline him, and I know he has :sniffle: when he sees me interact with my kids

We will see, again, I am hoping for the best!!

[lexsmama]

You know, if your dh would fight to have his ds come with you, it be a positive thing for both you and dss. I hope things work out for you!

[Momto3]

You know, if your dh would fight to have his ds come with you, it be a positive thing for both you and dss. I hope things work out for you!


I agree with Ashley!

[lexsmama]

dude, I'm stuck on the line with wallet pix. I went to see what it would cost, clicked off of the browser, and all of a sudden, I'm charged for them.

[Momto3]

dude, I'm stuck on the line with wallet pix. I went to see what it would cost, clicked off of the browser, and all of a sudden, I'm charged for them.


Huh? wha?

[lexsmama]

I know, right. I was told to refuse the package when it gets here. That's all I could do.

I went to track where it is, and it says that my order wasn't in the system. Weird.

[newmami]

Are you trying to order something Ash?? that is why I don't like to do online shopping!!

My mind is spinning on what to get Chris for his birthday.... I am not into spending loads of money on toys, and we have more than enough crap already... I need to go to the store and make up my mind... UGH!!!

[lexsmama]

I was trying to cancel an order.

Okay, I had a freaky dream last night. I dreamed I was pregnant, first off. Then, dh kept nagging me and bugging me about being pregnant and so tired. So, he ended up pregnant for the day. I mean, I lost the belly and everything for that one "day." It was so freaky.

[sarahlynn]

thanks to all of claudias shareing ;o)

i dreamt DH had an ex and they had two kids together and i was like OMG how can i handle step kids.and how can i handle this beautiful ex.

lmao

[lexsmama]

hmm... what did you have on your mind, sarah? :chinscratch:

:laugh:

[newmami]

Sarah, my contribution is where????????? :laugh:

I am fuming mad right now, so much that if I could, I would tell people here to F*** themselves and quit....... I had a HUGE argument with a Manager because I told him I don't appreciate when I look like an arse in front of a customer, and then he yelled at me like there was no tomorrow (freaking moron) saying he would not ask anything for me anymore.... FINE WITH ME DUDE!! I am trying to help b/c his assistant is out

GOD I HATE THIS PLACE!!! but the job market here is crap.......... maybe I should sell my body... yeah like someone will pay for this :lol:

[Momto3]

Sorry Claudia - I know how much you hate that place.

Just found out BIL and SIL are coming for Easter Dinner on Sunday. Blech...I was hoping they wouldn't come.

[newmami]

So sorry Lynn, I know you were excited about the no BIL... are they the ones with the new baby??

My office smells like popcorn :yuck:

[lexsmama]

Sorry Claudia and Lynn. We're going to lex's cousin's bday/easter party tomorrow. My allergies are going to kill me. But, hey, it's one day, right? And egg hunt at church saturday. don't know about sunday yet.

[Momto3]

So sorry Lynn, I know you were excited about the no BIL... are they the ones with the new baby??


Well, yeah its the same ones but she is pregnant. Hasn't given birth but she is due August 19th and they are refusing to find out the sex...How obnoxious of them! And she can't eat anything because she is allergic to everything and the truck it road in on but oh she most certainly can have steak, but her son doesn't eat steak so I have to make him something different. :rant:


Sorry...:shame:

[sarahlynn]

Sarah, my contribution is where????????? :laugh:
:

umm because yesterday i couldnt ge tyou out of my mind..and than i wasthinking about what it would be like if DH had an ex with kids and how i could handle that and so on..SO ITS YOUR FAULT i think about you all the tiem. :laugh:

well i know you all will be proud..i now am celebate and like a born again virgin..and angel i tell you an angel..im going on 6 weeks with nada :sniffle:

[Momto3]

I'd gladly trade places Sarah. But I do want to offer my :comfort:

[sarahlynn]

you want to be celebate?

my GF did say i could sleep with her and her BF this weekend but yeah thats not a good thing for a marrige lmao

[Momto3]

you want to be celebate?


It just doesn't interest me. Poor DH, he thinks its him, but its really not. I'm just numb when it comes to that. I could go without and not ever have to bat an eyelash on missing it.

[newmami]

I am so sorry Sarah!! as much as I don't want sex (usually because I am tired) 6 weeks would drive me nuts!!
I wish Matt realizes how selfish he is, and that he would do an effort to change and make his wife happy!

[sarahlynn]

i missed my therapy appt this morning it was at 8:00 i completely forgot..i was so busy packing and gettin kids ready..and my therapist called me and made sure i was ok .. it made my day..i was like AWWWW you care :) than we reset for 1:00 on tuesday..im needin to ask dh if he will come with me...how can i put that..hun wanna come FIX MY MARRIGE WITH ME lol

[Momto3]

OT - Sarah did you ever get your hair cut/colored?

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, Sarah, I'm sorry! Big ol' squishy hugs.

[lexsmama]

I'm about to go find a laminator at the teacher supply and then go get my little man. I'll check in tonight or in the morning. If you're on your Friday, I hope you have a wonderful Easter!

[Momto3]

Happy Easter Ashley!!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

OT - Sarah did you ever get your hair cut/colored?

i did get it cut..but the hairgirl liked it as it was...and didnt cut much off..she added a small amount of longer bangs..and just trimmed and layered a tiny bit..we set the color up for 5 weeks..she is busy ..

so nothing fancy..that pic in my avatar is actually the new do

sooo yeah..i chickened out on the wild crazy look :aww:

[sarahlynn]

yall should be very ashamed..this was on the second page..

im gettin tired...

[lexsmama]

Morning!

I hope you have a GREAT weekend, Sarah! You deserve it.

We're about to boil eggs for a nice morning dye. Yay. I hope it'll come off of skin. lol. Doubt it. That's okay, though. Lex can just go to his party this afternoon ready for the occasion. lol.

[newmami]

Hey Ladies, unfortunately I am at work all day.
I wanted to tell DH about the incident yesterday, but I stopped, because I am back on the feeling that he doesn't care anymore....
I am throwing a pity party today.... I am just lost and not OK about lots of things

And to top things, Chris has a pretty bad diaper rash, and I cannot be there to take care of him... SUCKS!!

Anyways, all ladies who are off today, I hope you have a beautiful Easter!!

[sarahlynn]

aww claudia im sorry :( i know youve been very down lately..was there something that made you feel extra down today and like he doesnt care?

were still hanging out at my uncles this morning..going ot go a couple stores than over to my grandparents and color eggs maybe..BLAH i woke up to snow i dont like snow

[lexsmama]

what happened clau? what makes you feel like he doesn't care?

[newmami]

:rant: I WANT TO GO HOME!!! still stuck in this darn office... UGH

[sarahlynn]

ugh its sunday...weekend went ok...but i didnt get to even see or talk to my GF..lucea was sick most of the weekend with a horrible belly ache..we went through so many diapers cause she had the runs adn her poor bottom was so sore..after each diaper i had to bath her cause she screamed when i whiped her.. :( so i spent the weekend takin care of her.. :( otherwise we had a big dinner over at my grandmaas house on sat..and just sat around all day fri and sat..just relaxed and took care of lucea..she is finally gettin a bit better and diapers have tapered off some..

how was everyones eater ?

[sja1508]

Hey ladies!!! We had a great Easter. Zack loved his basket. He got some dvd's, books, stickers and cars. All his favorite stuff. We hid plastic eggs in the front yard with jelly beans inside them. We kept trying to get him to put the eggs in his basket, but when he discovered the beans, he would just sit down and eat them all till they were gone. LOL! We only got thru about 3 or 4 eggs like this before we gave up and went inside. Next year, we'll have to do real eggs or either put candy in just a few......

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know this week is going to drag since thursday is the big day. Ugh.....

Sarah, isn't your sister Tara's u/s today?????!!!!!

[Momto3]

Morning Ladies!

I am so sad that it is Monday...blech! Easter as nice. Kids all got new outfits. They came down and saw their baskets and ate candy...for b'fast. Then did a little mini hunt in the house cuz we don't have a yard. Then we all went to church. It was packed! Came home and made dnner at my tiny townhouse for 11 of us. Steak and lamb...yummmmy! It was nice and relaxing.

So what did I miss on Friday? What was the "incident" Claudia.

Sarah - Sorry you didn't get to see your friend.

Stacy - I can't wait until Thursday! Yaya!

[lexsmama]

morning! we are home today. lex was up all night screaming of either pain or being scared. then, i couldnt find my keys lex hid. lol. easter was nice. spent half the day at church and the other half with inlaws. lex really got into dying and finding eggs.

[newmami]

Morning ladies... it is Monday again.... :crossed:
It is cool and breezy here, I LOVE IT!!! kids wore light jackets this morning.

Dh left today for TN, he will be out all week, doing some scouting. We had a looooong conversation about the possibility of moving and his son. He said that he is still set on moving, and he is excited about TN (honestly sounds like a wonderful place), and if we can prove that the quality of life and education is better there, he will fight to get full custody of his son... otherwise he would request all vacations during the year... we will see

Easter was OK at home... Dani and Chris got baskets, but Dani wanted Chris' cars and Chris wanted Dani's beads :laugh:. I also hid some eggs at home (we have some wasps problems outside, so no need to risk it) and Dani was happy with the egg hunting, Chris too... he found and rehid couple of the eggs :rolly:

My baby is becoming a boy :sniffle: he is losing interest in baby food and is feeding himself (small pieces of baby food), he is my last baby, so I am :boohoo: about it!

PAM, did you had any problems with the rain?? I heard couple places in AR were flooded, so I hope you escaped from it.

oh, depending on what DH says about TN, I may start looking for another job... I am done here!

Hope all you ladies have a beautiful day!!

[lexsmama]

Amazing Claudia! Things seem to be looking up! Yay!

I hope the 8-9 inches of rain didn't hit your area, Pam. I was thinking about you.

Now that I'm actually on a computer, lol, I can type. Phones are hard. lol.
Friday, we spent all day in San Augustine at Lex's little cousn's 5th bday and Egg Hunt party. Amongst all the big kids, he found 9 eggs. (With some adult help.) I was so proud. Allergies ran rampid. We were miserable that night. Then, a hunt at church Saturday. Lex REALLY got into finding eggs. Dh actually had to start recyclling the ones lex had found to distract him. He got about 10. He was so excited to be on HIS turf at school, on HIS playground. lol. We got pictures. We dyed eggs Friday morning, and oh boy, it was fun. We put garbage bags on the kitchen floor and went at it. He loved putting eggs in the cup, but not taking them out. That was Mama's job. Then, he stickered the eggs an himself with Sesame Street stickers from the package. He had those things everywhere. lol. We spent from 9-noon at church, doing nursery duty, sunday school, and had to leave before the service. Lex got pooped. I got to hold an 8 month old little girl the whole time I was there. She wouldn't go to anyone else! I was so excited. Camryn, I think her name was. Boy, that made my biological ticker run rampid! lol. I think it did dh's too. She let him hold her after I left. Oh, baby.

[bel]

Happy Easter my friends!!

WTG Clau Im so happy for you!! :)

Pam how is Rod doing? are you still together?

ASH my niece stefi hided O´s car keys and we havent found them, in 3 weeks :shocker:

Stacy I cant wait!!!

Lynn I have cooked all week :shock: we had people over on wednesday, thrusday and friday :shame:

On friday my dad made a river fish in the bbq and I made black spaghetis with seafood a crab mousse, lil potatoes with garlic and olive oil and a rise salad for our anniversary dinner, we had 20 people over :) then hot dulce de leche pancakes and icecream for dessert...
Im starting my diet today :truce:

[bel]

oops

[newmami]

Glad you and Lex had fun with the egg hunting Ash, how cool!! sorry about the allergies, is there something you can take for that??

A baby will always make your biological clock start ticking.... I hope you can start TTC soon!!!

[lexsmama]

I'm on everything I can be, barring seeing an allergist again. Eye drops, nose spray and pills. Honestly, I've dealt with it since I was Lex's age, so it's almost normal for me. I'm more saddened by having to watch Lex go through it. And the pedi's waiting to see if it slows him down before we do anything drastic. Stacy warned me that seeing an allergist so young could be tricky, and the pedi agreed. So, she said that since very little slows this little guy down, she wants to wait through a little more of the spring. It's so sad, though.

Enough of the downer party, I'm ready to hear more about Easter holidays and everyone else's fun!

Btw, does anyone make egg salad from their dyed eggs?

[sarahlynn]

Sarah, isn't your sister Tara's u/s today?????!!!!!


HOLY OMG YES YES !! HOW THE HE LL DID I FORGET THAT...OMG STACY YOU MADE MY DAY OMG OMG OMG...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

with such a hectic weekend i just forgot..adn than daycare called this morning sick so thankfully matt had the day off for fishing..so he can keep the kids..


~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes we make egg salad from our eggs and cy and lucea have been eating them left and right...

BEL HUGS I MISSED You

[newmami]

I am so sorry for Lex Ash, I can imagine how heartbreaking it is to see him suffering with the allergies. I see couple people her in my office who are allergic to lots of things... NOT FUN!!

We didn't dye eggs, I was so tired Saturday, I didn't felt like doing it... I am still trying to understand all this holiday things people in the US do :laugh:

I am doing some research to reinvest my 401K... can you say complicated??? I have limited knowledge about finances, and our plan is not very user friendly.... :huh: besides the way the market is now, everything is losing... UGH!!!! I need 401K for dummies :rolly:

I miss my office husband :(

[sarahlynn]

claudia how are things with DH?

[sja1508]

ROFL!!! I'm glad I can keep your life straight Sarah, because I certainly can't keep up with my own!!!! You better post asap as soon as you find out.

Ash, you are so much braver than I am. I thought about dying eggs and then chickened out. I'm such a bad mom....:crying:

I figured next year would be the big year for that stuff and when he'd really understand and get into it. Yes....I'm justifying my bad behavior....:laugh:

[bel]

Eggs here are only chocolate eggs! from every kind of chocolate bar they make chocolate eggs, and inside it they place lil chocolates of the same brand also! we never do bunnies basker not plastic eggs...yeah might be sound wierd but it is how it is :)

[newmami]

Bel you weirdo... we do the same in Mexico... chocolate eggs, no baskets or dying eggs....
Stacy, I also thought dying eggs was messy and that my LO would enjoy it better next year... he he he :lol:

Things with DH are Ok, we had a big fight Friday about his son, not a conversation I wanted to have, but at least there are no more expectations of us becoming the poster step family. I don't deal with his son anymore, and actually I appreciate it, because he only makes me :rant:

The fight was so bad I stayed in the kids room for a while, but the floor was too hard, so I went back to bed (with a terrible back pain :eyeroll:), at some point I thought *this is the end* and Dh did too, because he FREAKED OUT on me, BAD!!! he was crying so bad Dani got scared and went to get me from their room (I was changing Chris), she couldn't bear seeing Daddy like that, so that was a BIG eye opener for me... I don't have to ruin my kids' lives because of SK.....

Dh helps when he doesn't have anything better to do, but I am tired of complaining, so..... I decide when things need to be picked up and cleaned, and he can suck it up.... same goes with dinner, if he wants dinner early, he can start cooking, or wait until I am done with the kids.

[Momto3]

Ashley - we don't do egg salad, but DH takes hard boiled eggs for work (snack) during the week so he was all set with the dozen that we dyed on Saturday night. I actually used them as name cards for dinner and used the wax they give you to write each person's name on an egg.

[sarahlynn]

aww Stacy i was sure you would color eggs...lucea loved it (ill post pics tomarow) she had her whole hand int he colors and her right hand was bright green..cy goes MOM SHE IS TURNING INTO SHREK...but cy and sam (my nephew) werent all about eggs at all so me and my sis and lucea colored most of them while they played outside on the trampoline..

YAY BEL FOR A DIET!!! im hangin steady at 146.8...darn it i wish they weather would straighten up so i could walk on my lunch hour..but its cold and windy yucka..

[bel]

Saratoo how many hours till the BIG u/s?!?!

[sarahlynn]

Saratoo how many hours till the BIG u/s?!?!

[lexsmama]

How exciting Sarah! I bet you're on pins and needles.

Ohmygosh, I have so many pics for you girls! I just have to be at work to post them. So, in the morning. Err.

Lex took a nap on the couch! He crawled up, grabbed my hand and closed his little eyes. Wow, that's an amazing first. Got a pic with my phone. lol.

[newmami]

Can this day be dragging any more??? OMG I just want to go home....

Pictures, yes I want to see pictures!! DH took some of the kids with their baskets, but he took the camera... so until next week :(

[willsmama]

Sarah, I am sorry your sister is nowhere to be found... I am excited about her u/s as well!!!

[Momto3]

I wonder if we are doing the 2 year molars. She doesn't seem to be in pain but drooling like there is no tomorrow!

My sister said it is snowing in Atlanta!

[newmami]

Weather is insane!! Dh called me, the flight to Atlanta was awful... poor thing because he hates to fly

we are supposed to use our frequent flyer miles to go to Mexico, but they do not offer reward tickets in December.... only if I want to fly via NEWARK or DETROIT!!!... I am bummed.... guess we will use the tax refund for tickets to Mexico... but on the bright side, we can go somewhere else with those miles, right??

[sarahlynn]

I wonder if we are doing the 2 year molars. She doesn't seem to be in pain but drooling like there is no tomorrow!

It´s a link to sing against an "artist" that exposed his art, what was it about? chased 5 days a street dog and tied him to a wall at the artistic gallery until it died from starving, now the artistic community wants to give him an award for his "art"... :rant: he should be in jail:headbang:

[without]

A little late on my part but I hope you all had a GREAT Easter. I will post pictures of Morgan soon. Her dress turned out so pretty. I was worried at first but in the end it was so cute!

[lexsmama]

Morning!

Don't worry, Bel, I was lost too.

That was a SAD story about the dog and art. Ohmygosh, I'd so find a way to press charges on that guy.

Lex wanted to go to school this morning! He walked in, went to Ms. Sheila and started talking to her. Yay! Still lost my keys. I haven't the foggiest idea where they are. lol. And, to top it all off, I got stopped by a cop. He noticed my registration was out of date. He let me off on a warning bcs I didn't ahve the title for the car (it's dh's deceased gma's car we just got) yet. That was so nice of him.

I understand not wanting to open it, but I bet your sister wants you to.

[bel]

yeah, are you opening it for me saratoo? yes? :pray: Yes? :pray:

[Momto3]

Like I said, just hold it hup to the screen for us to see, then put it back in the envelope. We won't tell you what it is.

[bel]

[newmami]

Sarah, send the envelope to me, so I can tell the ladies here.... I will send it back :laugh:

Bel, I will work on the translation and PM to you, ok? I am pretending I am working :rolly:....

So I had a successful afternoon yesterday, I fed kids and had them on bed at 7pm, so I had time to make lunch for today... I like the being single mom, but I had a hard time falling asleep, because I kept hearing noises and I was too alert to fall asleep.
DH said Cleveland is not the best place to move, small crappy town, so I have my hopes in Knoxville... he is going there Wednesday.

I just talked to my office husband... it is sad how much I miss having him here, no one else to vent with... anyways his new office is 2 blocks far from me, so we are getting together for lunch one of this days. :gome:

Ash, I got my bracelet yesterday... OMG IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! I love it love it, it is perfect.... oh and 2 of my coworkers want to order some bracelets from you, so I am giving them your Etsy website!

[Momto3]

Sarah - I am so sorry hun. Wow! It sounds like he just doesn't want to be part of the family any longer. Idk if its the ms or what but man, I can't believe how selfish he is being. I hope he shows. Hugs to you!

[newmami]

Oh Sarah, I posted before I read your reply... I am so sorry dear, Matt is an arse and he is doing all he can to lose you... it really hurts me because I know how much you love him... but I am glad you gave him an ultimatum, he needs to get real and do something about his family or leave... You, Cy and Lulu deserve to be happy and not deal with such a stressful situation

:comfort:

[lexsmama]

Oh, Sarah, I am sooo sorry! You're too wonderful of a person to have to go through all this.

I'm so glad you liked the bracelet, Clau! I hope it fits. And I'll take any order they want. They can email me what they need or do a conversation on etsy.

I'm wondering if my toofie pain is my wisdom tooth or my chipped one. Hmmm...

[RachaelM]

Sarah, I'm so sorry about Matt, he's really being a dink. I hope he wakes up to what he's missing out on, before it's too late.

Ash, what is your etsy website? Your bracelets are beautiful, I want to check more out....

[sja1508]

Sarah I'm so sorry, all I can say is Big Hugs to you sweetie!!!!!!! :comfort:

[sarahlynn]

God you guys cy deserves a dady who wants to be with him who is excited to do things with him..i had boyfriends play a bigger roll in cys life than matt has...and its sad..when i bring it up to mat he says I TRY i ask him to do things he wants to be with his friends..blah blah..cause your boring you dont care you dont show enthusiasm..why would be want to be with you or spend time with you..kids know when someone is just forceing themselves to be with them..its sad..im at the end of my rope..

i cannot be the only reason this marrige is failing..it cant be all me..i knwo i have issues and i need to work them out..but i cant be the only reason we are failing..he always says he is happy im always the one upset so its me who has the problem..i need more help i need someone who wants to be married..i dont think he wants to be married..yeah he says he does this is the life he wants..yet he plays no part of it..its just sad..

i love him more than anything but i cant do this.

sad thing is..i dont thinkhe willshow today at the appt...:( everything inside me tells me he wont..he will come up with some excuse..work or something..didnt knwo where to go..something lame..

[bel]

Im here for you Saratoo :comfort: he is been a piece of **** for so long, you do deserve better, he has gone once, he should leave you alone and be able to get a better partner, sorry hon, but he thinks because he is sick he has every right to live as a single guy or worse, a son.

[lexsmama]

www.lexsmama.etsy.com (http://www.lexsmama.etsy.com)

Oh, Sarah, my heart's breaking for you.

[bel]

mine too :crying:
but it´s been a long road saratoo, Im not sure if it´s fixable, a marriege to be fixed needs efforts from two

[Momto3]

Yeah of course he says he's happy, cuz he has no responsibilities as a father or a husband. He's living the single life at home, so of course he says its not him its you.

[newmami]

Sarah, it takes 2 to make a marriage work... you can do all you want, but if he is not willing to do his part, it is not going to work. He needs to stop using MS as an excuse to be an arse and get involved with HIS FAMILY!!! yes he may have bad days, but that doesn't mean he can be an a s s on constant basis.

He is the one missing out Sarah. Children are just so much fun!!! but you cannot force people to want to spend time with them

Dh is the same way, even with his son, he is a weird dad, but his dad was always out working, so I sort of understand that. I am the one who does most of the care and interaction with the kids, and it does make me sad when I see pictures of dads playing with their kids, and I wish DH was like those dads, but then I realize he has the opportunity to do that, and if he doesn't want to take it, it is his loss, not mine

We are here for you Sarah, and I am praying for the best outcome in your situation.

[willsmama]

I am so sorry Sarah. :(

[newmami]

Toofie pain... OUCH!!!! I do not have wisdom teeth, but I know they hurt like a MOFO. are you going to the dentist Ash??
I gave my coworkers your website, they are going to contact you soon!!

[bel]

saratoo opening that envelope might light up your day :D what do you say! eh? eh?

[Momto3]

DH sent me this picture to drool over.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f266/LMSwanson/beckman.jpg

[bel]

ha!

[Momto3]

I hate that when I turn pictures in photobucket they don't stay turned! Grrrrrrrrr.

[newmami]

RANT: I am trying to send the baby toys and clothes to a Crisis center as a donation... well they would not take them because they only take new stuff... WTF??? I guess they are really not in need when they can get picky about what they take... GRRR!!!

[lexsmama]

got to go get a sick baby.

[bel]

RANT: I am trying to send the baby toys and clothes to a Crisis center as a donation... well they would not take them because they only take new stuff... WTF??? I guess they are really not in need when they can get picky about what they take... GRRR!!!
Ill PM you :wink:

[newmami]

Oh no Ash!! I hope it is nothing serious

[bel]

im so mad right now :rant: swap should be a fun thing

[sarahlynn]

when I see pictures of dads playing with their kids, and I wish DH was like those dads, but then I realize he has the opportunity to do that, and if he doesn't want to take it, it is his loss, not mine

We are here for you Sarah, and I am praying for the best outcome in your situation.
thats how i feel as well..i just want more for cy..he missed out when matt was gone for 4 years and i wish matt wanted to make up for that time and build a strong bond...but it isnt there and i guess i cannto force it..but it makes me ache inside for cy..i see cy adn my dad together and wish matt had that relationship..or i see my BIL and his son and wish matt had that..btu its not there..

ugh :(

[sarahlynn]

im so mad right now :rant: swap should be a fun thing

whats going on bel?

[sarahlynn]

got to go get a sick baby.

oh man keep us posted :( whats with all the sick babies/peopel lately..we need summer time

[Momto3]

Oh No Ashley! Poor Lex!

Claudia - I hear you. How unappreciative can they get!?!?!?!

[bel]

Ill tell you later once your coworker send me an email with the baby´s info :lol:
lamo Im just kidding, nah is not worthit

[newmami]

I agree Bel, swaps can be very frustrating, specially when people do not get a present (we should have a black list, to avoid this things)

Sarah, I truly don't understand why men have such a hard time being silly with kids, it is so relaxing!! My dad spends more quality time than DH does :eyeroll:, but again, his choice, his loss

[without]

Sarah.. I am so sorry sweetie!

Sorry to hear about Lex!

Claudia! Thats just stupid! If it were not for you and Dani Morgan wouldn't have made it through the winter with nice clothes to wear! Grrr.... only take new clothes!

[Momto3]

I agree Claudia - Unless they have a very good reason, people that don't send gifts should not be allowed to participate next time!

[newmami]

I know Pam, that is why I am trying to find someone who wants those clothes... it is clothes size 0-12 months (less couple things that our daycare lady bought) in very good condition.... ugh!!

I am getting togther another box of clothes for Morgan, this time they are summer clothes, size 2T-4T!!!

[sarahlynn]

do you have a womans shelter that would take them? that just makes no sense they wont take the clothing..how off is that..

i need to think the way you do claudia..his loss..but i dont want my kids to loose as well :( maybe cy could do a big brother program..

[bel]

Clau, post in Member Market, they could send you the shipping amount, and just send them out, there is always people that would be thankful, even if they are a few :wink:

[without]

Oh... Claudia your such a good friend! Too bad we don't live close because there was a teen mom who just had a little boy last week in our church.

[Momto3]

i need to think the way you do claudia..his loss..but i dont want my kids to loose as well :( maybe cy could do a big brother program..

In my opinion, the kids are already losing because their Dad doesn't want to get involved. Funny you should mention the Big Brothers program. I got Tyler involved with that back in 2004. It was right before I met DH. He had an awesome Big Brother but we lived to far from him for them to get together too often. And then DH kinda took over in that roll, althought they really don't do too much together either.

[lexsmama]

I don't know what's up with lex, but thanks for the well wishes. I got him home and he upchucked everything in his tummy. He seems to feel better now. Who knows. Maybe it's all the phlegm. He has a dr appt at 2:45.

Bel, what can I do to help with the swap?

[sarahlynn]

OMG you guys..Matt just called and asked me how to get to the doc office :silly: thats a good sign right? now i am nervous as all He ll...my stomach is in knots..im all panicky for soem reason..i dont know what to say..where to start..ugh

[willsmama]

it is a good sign he is going! It will all be ok!!!!

[sarahlynn]

it is a good sign he is going! It will all be ok!!!!

ugh girls i have to get over this sick feeling..:pace: i am so glad he agreed to go but now i am a nervous wreck..i dont know where to start or what to say..i dont want him to feel attacked like usual so i dont want ot use the wrong words..i hope the therapist takes the reigns and we can get some much needed help..

[Momto3]

Sarah that is a good sign. Keep using the words "I feel" instead of Matt does this or doesn't do that or I wish Matt would. Keep your words as how you feel and he should feel less" attacked" Yay! Its a good day in the neighborhood.

[newmami]

YAY SARAH!!! that is a huge start!! try not to stress much about it, the Therapist should help you guys with the conversation.

This is my second day with NOTHING to do at work... it is getting old, and boring....

As for the donation, I contacted a Crisis center who takes kids whose parents abandon them.... I will see if I can find someone who needs them and is not picky about "used" clothes.... I feel bad selling them because other people have been so generous to us, I know I need to pay back that generosity

[sja1508]

Sarah, you need to write down a list of things that are important to you that you think you and Matt need to fix. Start off by saying I have these things I want to talk about and I wrote them down because I think they are important to fix our marriage. I want to fix our marriage because I love you and want to make this work.

Then just go from there.....defuse the situation by telling him upfront why you are there in therapy before it starts to get heated. No matter what bad things come up, you are there because you love him and want to make it work.

[sarahlynn]

Sarah, you need to write down a list of things that are important to you that you think you and Matt need to fix.

.


ok i have 10 min help me with a list darn it.,. :(

[Momto3]

Being close/intimacy
Being a part of the kids lives and their interests

[newmami]

Being there for you and the kids, get involved in the daily activities, be an active member of the family

Be close to you, doesn't have to be sex, just get back the intimacy

be able to communicate with you, you understand he is sick, and he needs to understand you are THERE for him, he needs to know that you care about him!!

IT WILL BE OK SARAH!!! :hugs:

[sja1508]

ditto on what they said plus put down "how do you want me to communicate with you"?

If he feels you are always attacking him when you bring stuff up, then how does he want you to bring it up? You have to have some acceptable way that he'll listen to your concerns. Good luck sweetie!!!

[Momto3]

Is it Thursday yet? I wanna know darn it :hissy: What time is the appointment again?


So the SIL that I am NOT fond of has the nerve to ask me for my old maternity clothes. :eek::angry: Not happening! First off, she was already 2 sizes bigger than I was pre-pregnancy so none of them would fit :rolly: Secondly, I gave them all to my neighbors daughter months ago! So there!

Oh and she has the nerve to give my DD a toy that is ages 3 and up that she could pinch her little fingers in and some little chicks that have small parts that could come off and she could choke on. Stupid idiot! :rant:

[willsmama]

sarah! Tell us how it goes!

[newmami]

Some people are just clueless, huh Lynn.... I am sorry your SIL stroke back!!

Still nothing to do here, I am looking at houses in Knoxville :silly:, probably I just jinxed it with that :lol:

Sarah is in Central or Mountain time??? it would be this afternoon when we get an update, huh?? I hope it goes well and that is a big start for her and Matt!

[sja1508]

It's at 2pm Lynn. My guess is that you'll be getting a call between 3-3:30 as soon as we get out of there and into the car. Since it's a level 2, they have to go over alot and then we have to sit and discuss the results with the genetics counselor. The time is just dragging for me. At about this time in exactly 48 hrs we'll know.......

[sarahlynn]

Well ladies i am back...the appt went alright..made me feel better to know i am not the only one matt doesnt communicate with..he said a total of umm 15 words the whole time..but thats just him and how he is..doesnt share much really or talk much..

i think it went good...the doc talked about how we communicate..better ways to do that..how we need to be boyfriend and girlfriend..give ourselves that time where we arent mom and dad..sell the kids for a few hours a week and spend time together being lovey, silly, kissy, huggy and so on...

ugh its hard for me to remember all that was said i spent 99.9% of the time crying like a baby..of course..my overemational self..and matts nonemotional self :) but he told us both how to communicate better..instead of matt saying or me saying "what the **** is wrong with you..are you nuts...why are you freaking out..yelling and swearing" we need to be face to face and say things like "ok your not understanding me..how can i explain myself better..you must have misunderstood..what can i do to help you..make you better..adn also just listen more"

matt left about 10 min early for work..and we talked a bit more..i told him how when matt was gone for the 4 years i had a dated and i never felt liek this so it was hard for me..i always felt close to someoen and that they wanted to be near me and show affection to me..so it was really making this hard to be married to someone who doesnt show he wants or needs anything from me..

and it was really strange but right at the end he says "do you ever worry about him not being faithful" i said well yes i do..especiall since he is so disconnected with me..but i just dont see him doint that..but yeah i still go hmm is he..would he..it really made me think after he said it..cause yeah i have thought of it..????

so his final words were go for it..right now look at the good..stop thinking of the bad..go for it and jump his bones and get what i need from him..show him what i want to be shown..love, affection, kisses, hugs, time, converstaion, have sex with him and satisfy that need i have..that need to feel loved..and go from there..if he starts to show me back these things we are making progress and going in the right direction..if i do these things and nothing comes of it than there may be more underlying than we see or he is letting show..more to the story..

so thats my homework..have sex :) make myself happy..go for what i want..see how my husband responds to me..it was funny the thereapist goes..honestly i dont see any reason why HE WOULDNT WANT YOU.. :) made me smile..

i just wish matt had been more open, shareing, not so serious and stoic..i felt like i was taking him to the gas chamber instead of counseling :)

but we shall seee...

[newmami]

Sarah, overall seems like it went well... even if Matt is not a big talker, at least I hope he listen to what you said and what the therapist said
I hope this is the big first step for you guys, that you are able to communicate better and solve things!!

Your session sounds like what I would go through if I dragged my Dh to Therapy... he thinks it is a waste of time and all they are going to tell him is that he is wrong and he needs to change.... hmmm

Anyways, have fun doing your homework!!!

[sarahlynn]

Anyways, have fun doing your homework!!!

yeah thast what matt said the first time i mentioned it..he said "i dont need someone telling me whats wrong with me and how bad i am"

the doc says SO SHE ambushed you into this..whichi kinda did..i just left that note for him this morning..but honestly it was my last attempt i didnt know what else to do..i knew if i went alone it wouldnt fix anything..we both needed to bethere..so thankfully he went..and i hope this can be a turning point..one thing the doc mentioned was leaving all that we let out stay int he office there..not to bring it up..like you said this or you said that..like me saying i dont see our marrige continueing..i dont want matt to use that against me at home.. like HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT..that worried me y aknow..

so hard darn it so hard

[bel]

Saratoo all the therapist said is what I already told you :P well almost!
I miss our confessions Im talks :wink:
:yeehaw: Now open that envelope and have a COMPLETELY happy day!!!!!!!! :yeehaw:

[Momto3]

Heheh...Sarah got hit on by her therapist! Just kidding...glad he made you feel good. I'm glad Matt at least went with you. Its a step. Baby steps. Have fun with your homework. And make sure you get it right. If you go back and review the homework and you see something that may be wrong...do it again...hehe

[sarahlynn]

Have fun with your homework. And make sure you get it right. If you go back and review the homework and you see something that may be wrong...do it again...hehe

LMAO you nut...:lol:


now i just have to get over the feeling that i am forceing him..darn it who cares if i am forceing him..i need lovin so i will use him for that and hopefully he enjoys it to right????

lmao review the homework..aww you ladies crack me up

[RachaelM]

I just want to say that I am so glad Matt came to the appointment! Even if it is a small step, it is forward progress.

[sarahlynn]

I just want to say that I am so glad Matt came to the appointment! Even if it is a small step, it is forward progress.

:) yes yes..i have to remember small steps..this wont just be all of a sudden better overnight..we both haev to work at it..

one thing that doc said that was good for me was..

when you have so much good in a marrige and so much more positive than those small negatives done look so bad..

but when you have so much negative and bad..you cant even see those positives..

[RachaelM]

when you have so much good in a marrige and so much more positive than those small negatives done look so bad..

but when you have so much negative and bad..you cant even see those positives..

Good words to live by in any relationship....

[sarahlynn]

than says..so what did you talk about when i left the office today..i said not much he just said that i need to go for what makes me happy and see how you come back with it..either youll be happy or not..

i said what did you get out of it..did youtake away anything..find it useful.

he says im frustrated...

i said more now than before..

he says no just frustrated i thougth i was trying

so ugh i dont know..my feeling of going for what i want and having anything to do with him just flew out the frickin window..why could he call and try be the least bit positive about this all..one bit of positive ????

[Momto3]

Ok Sarah...time to turn in your homework...I wanna see at least a B+.

I think Matt even responding that he is frustrated and not acting defensive and like he was attacked seems a step in a good direction. That was my first instinct when I read what you wrote.

[sja1508]

I agree with Lynn, at least he said something to you about the appt. It's very little, but it is something. Go off what he said even though it was negative and turn it around and make a discussion out of it.

I can't believe the u/s is tomorrow. I just know today is going to drag. Ugh......make it tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to know the baby is healthy. I'm really getting excited for a girl or boy, either way doesn't matter. I want another boy, but I'm daydreaming about what it would be like to have a little girl and I'm getting excited. Is it tomorrow yet?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bel]

come on babe!!! :cheer: mamas and aunties wanna see you :cheer:

[without]

Sarah... I know its hard but above all remember you can only fix you... you can't fix him. You make yourself a better person for you and your babies and if DH fallows then GREAT but if he doesn't...its sad but your still a better and happier person. The girls are right, at least he talked. I know it wasn't the light bulb you were hopping for but it is something to hold on to for hope.

Stacy, I am still hopping girl! LOL :D

[bel]

me too sshhhh!

[newmami]

Morning ladies

Sarah, I think Matt is frustrated because he thought he was doing something to make things better, and he realized he is not... frustrated that his so called efforts (if any) were not working... I don't think he is frustrated about the marriage, just of what he has not done :comfort:
Don't give men too much credit about thinking things over, they don't do that :rolly:
He sounds a lot like my DH, he would get frustrated because in his eyes he is making a HUGE effort, but it is not happening for me, so I know how you feel, and can understand why he is frustrated

About the "forcing".. I can tell you from being on the other side, it is not fun at the beginning, but at the end you realize "hey, THAT was fun!!!"

Speaking of sex, I woke up around 2:30 because I heard a noise.... it was the neighbors having sex :shocker: can you say thin walls?????

I spoke with DH again, he is liking Knoxville, said it is a nice size city and that people are wonderful and friendly... so the options are still open :dance:

And I found the hard way that Chris has a bad reaction to peas... they give him horrible diarreah and a bad diaper rash... my poor boy... no more peas for him :(
Yesterday I went to the supermarket, got some pizza for dinner and rented Atonement, so I had a quiet night... both kids were in bed at 7pm... feels nice.... but then I freak out at night, because I keep hearing noises, and thinking someone broke in... I told DH I miss him, I think he cried.....:silly:

YAY Stacy for one more day till the ultrasound!! I am sending you CLEAR PINK vibes!! I have my reserves after my u/s fiasco, but I hope you have a healthy baby girl!!

[Momto3]

Claudia - So sorry about Chris' little bottom. No more peas! But that is so sweet that you are missing DH and he clearly appreciates the way you feel. I really hope Knoxville works out for you guys!

Eeeeeek is it tomorrow yet? I can't wait either! Come on baby...show us the goods! Just this once, then if you are a girl...KEEP THOSE LEGS CLOSED! :)

[lexsmama]

Morning.

I'm soooo glad Matt went yesterday, Sarah! Nice first step, even if he didn't talk much.

Ooooh, I can't wait until tomorrow, Stacy! How exciting!

Lex and I are home for one more day. He threw up last night from gagging, but his school has a strict 24 hour policy on throwing up. So, we're stuck. Lex is happy, anyway. lol. The pedi gave him some Patanol eye drops for bad eye days, and Pulmicort twice a day for two weeks. Can I say how difficult it is to give an 18 month old a breathing treatment?! We have a full out hold him down war on our hands when we have to do that. We played with it and even eased him in, but as soon as the thing came close to his face he freaked. Poor thing. And, he's on an antibitoic for an ear infection in his right ear from allergy drainage. Glad we got him in when we did.

[lexsmama]

Glad dh's liking TN, Clau! That's WONDERFUL!!

[Momto3]

OMGosh Ashley! Poor Lex...feel better to him!

[BBKCD]

Sarah, I'm so glad he went to the appt and you all got to talk about some things. I agree, small progress is better than no progress. Have fun with your homework!!! :gome::yeehaw:

I'm with Bel on this one, we really need to know. Darn it, I had to remind you of the freakin appt, doesn't that get me a peek at the envelope??? :cheer:


Geez, I miss so much....Congrats Stacy and Tara!!!
(sorry, back to your regularly scheduled programing)

[sja1508]

See what happens when you don't come visit us? You miss out! You need to chat with us more often!

I just love Drake in the bumbo. :silly: Your kids are gorgeous!!!

[sarahlynn]

OK YAY for you ladies you get a happy post from me :) and a long one probubly..ill try keep it short though..

so DH called after work (one of the docs suggestions) said he was on the way home, that his little brother was online (halo) and wanted him to play..i said yeah ok thats fine..he gets home..comes upstairs (im gettin kids into bed) he reads lucea a book (WOW i was like YA because he would usualy just turn on the tv,xbox, whatever) so he does that and than goes down and plays xbox..i finish putting the kids ot bed and than go up and sit in bed..so than natrually sitting there i start to think stupid thoughts..ok why is he playing xbox tonight after all we went through today, how can just do that, why isnt he up here with me..than i kinda give myself a mental slap in the face and i realize im thinkign stupid and need to clear my head..so i get up and tell him i am going for a drive..i take off hit barnes and nobles, grab a journal for me to keep track of things for the kids..small things like what they did that day, weather, so on..milestones..and hit walmart and get them new toothbrushes..yeah i was pullin for things to do..but i was gone maybe 1 hour 15 min..but it was good for me..it gave me time to reason with myself and say "sarah he isnt playing xbox because he doesnt love you , his brother was online and thats it no big deal" so i get home and DH had called me 14 times :) nut..he said ARE YOU MAD"??? i said well i was gettin upset so i thought instead of me saying something unreasonable it was best i cleared my head and thougth about it ya know..i fi had sat upstairs i would have just thought more and more and overanalyed thewhole thing..so he says "you need to tell me if it made you mad, if you wanted me to stop playing..i told you on the way home so you would know i was planning on that" and i said YES and thats gooood im glad you called and honestly its not a big deal you played..but you have to realize my mind doesnt work like normal so i had to work through some stuff to be ok with it..back to the whole black and white thing..ya know..am i making any sense..so i get hoem abotu 11:30 and we both go up to bed..snuggle and talk for about 45 minutes..about kinda everything..he said he realized he needs to no just fly off the handle if he feels attacked..he needs to TALK through things..he said the counseling was really hard for him he had a hard time opening up to a stranger and was uncomfortable the whole time..(which i knew he would be..just not his thing) but i thanked him for coming and told him that it meant a lot to me..

so baby steps..overall last night turned out very very good..i think we both had an eye opener and realized what we can do to change things to make this marrige better..me included.. :)

yay

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

claudia..im sorry your little man had a bad reaction to peas :( but yay for DH liking knoxville..eeek mayeb you'll get that change you want :)


StACY lots of pink and blue dust coming your way :) i like both boys and girls so i cant commit to which one i want youto have..zach woudl love a little brother but little girls are fun as well :)

[willsmama]

Sarah, sounds like progress to me!!!! And wishing Stacy and Tara all the best!
:)

[sja1508]

Oh Sarah, I'm just so happy for you!!!!! That is great news. Even though Matt didn't want to go, it sounds like he really got something out of it. You also did a wonderful job recognizing what you were doing and putting a stop to it. I'm just so glad you had a good night!!

Ash, so sorry about Lex, hope he gets better really soon. Poor baby.

Claudia, sorry about Chris also. Zack loves peas, it's about the only thing I can get him to eat. Thank goodness he's not allergic.

Pam, I miss you. You don't hardly post at all. What's going on with you and Rod? Where's our Morgan easter pics?????

Lynn, you better have your phone on tomorrow afternoon!!!!!

[sja1508]

We miss you Tracy! Will is so precious!!!

Bel, where are you my love? Smooches!!!

[BBKCD]

Great news Sarah!
Thanks for the compliment Stacy...I also posted a few Easter pics in pictures...Drake's going to hate me.
Bel must be partying!!!

[bel]

Now Im with you in IM, who wants to join?

[without]

Things are OK with Rod we both still really like each other but... the distance is hurting us. We don't get to see each other as much as we would like. All I know for sure is that I am so glad I met him and if nothing comes out of it he was a blessing in my life and that I am a better person for knowing him and thats all a person can really ask for ...right? :D

Sorry I am a little slow with the Easter Pictures LOL I love them all and can't pick the ones to put up! LOL

[Momto3]

OMGosh that is great news Sarah! He got more out of that one appointment than you realize. Sounds like you did well on your homework too! Yay! Baby steps in the right direction!

Stacy - My phone is on and will be right by my side (even in the ladies room) all afternoon tomorrow!

[newmami]

Sarah, that is WONDERFUL!!! that is not baby steps, it was a HUGE one!! I am so happy for you!! :cheer:
Once you start communicating, things do get better (I am working on that as well with DH!!)

Ash, I am so sorry about Lex being so sick with allergies... would it help if you explain to him that the treatment will make him feel better?
I did that with Dani when she was taking antibiotic, it tasted like CRAP, but I told her it would make her feel better... so she drinks it, and with this puppy face, she tells me "mm yummy"

[sarahlynn]

Sarah, that is WONDERFUL!!! that is not baby steps, it was a HUGE one!! I am so happy for you!! :cheer:

"

eeek iam just so excited i feel like yesterday we made this huge step..and even thought i know DH loathed the appt i think it was sooo good for both of us..i dont know if he will go back next week or not with me but im going back and i know together we just need to be positive and communicate and have sex..:yeehaw:

stacy are you and tara going nuts here?????? excited??????
how about grandma isnt she coming up for the big day?????

eeeeeek were gonna have more babies in no time...my sisters due date is JUly 11th thats not much more than 3 montsh away

[newmami]

All this babies, I am getting baby fever...... :huh:

I told Dh that AF has not shown yet, I said there are 3 options:
1. I just hit menopause
2. I am back to not ovulating on my own (which happened pre Danielle)
3. I am pregnant again

He said he would sue the OB if I am pregnant again... then he said it is probably #1, that would explain my b*tchy mood :eyebrow::lol:
Is it bad that secretly I was hoping I am pregnant??????????????

Anyways, watch it now, she will show her face today!!

[Momto3]

Is it bad that secretly I was hoping I am pregnant??????????????

Anyways, watch it now, she will show her face today!!


Not bad at all Claudia...I hope for that every month knowing that there is like one in a bazillion of a chance for that to happen...

[sarahlynn]

Claudia YOU WANT MORE BABIES??

is that what you siad...you secretly wish you were pregnant??

omg yay more babies for you:dance:

[lexsmama]

Wow, you girls sure can chat! I miss IM! I'd better be back tomorrow. I don't have the time for the half a week I took off. :(

Sarah, I am SOOOO excited for your happy news! One small step for Matt, one giant leap for your marriage. lol.

I hope you get the end result you need/want Clau. I know I secretly hope my pills aren't working all the time. hehe..

I hope things work out for you, Pam. You deserve to be happy.

Lex just doesn't understand why something has to be over his nose/mouth. I'm trying to work out a method here, but it's slow coming. Man, I feel like the party downer around here, lately. Hopefully we'll be back on track soon!

[Momto3]

Ashley do you have the mask that goes over the nose and mouth? We played "fireman" with DS when he was little and had to do that. Can you show him some pictures of firemen with their masks on?

[sarahlynn]

no more baby talk...

Sorry girls those turned out really big! I don't know why I resized them in photo bucket!

[sarahlynn]

awwwwwwwwww i love them all..she couldnt be any cuter

[sja1508]

Yes Sarah, I'm so excited I'm about to jump out of my skin!!! Only 25 more hours to go!!!

Tara's Mom is driving up from St Pete tomorrow morning and going to the appt with us as well as my Mom. My Mom going is probably a mistake but we can't tell her No. She ruined my u/s with Zack because she thought she wanted a girl and when she found out Zack was a boy, she threw a ****fit in front of the tech and ruined it for Tara and I. I already had the talk with her about tomorrow and if she opened her mouth I would physically remove her from the room. No way she is going to ruin this for Tara. I know my Mom means well, but it's like she has no control of the inappropriate things that come out of her mouth. kwim??

At least I get to work from home tomorrow, so I can be doing things around the house to keep myself busy. After the appt, Mom is going to pickup Zack from daycare and watch him while Tara, her Mom and I go shopping for (dresses) LOL!!! I feel so sorry for this baby if it's a boy. I've been talking to Tara's tummy this whole time and addressing it as if it was a girl. Our son is sure going to be pissed about it when he gets here. LOL!! Pink or blue doesn't matter as long as it's healthly. Remember the donor has that genetic issue with some of his kids? We are really going to be focusing on the bladder and kidneys to make sure none of that VCR is present in the baby. At least if it's there we can treat in utero with antibiotics.

Come on day...fly by faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[willsmama]

so cute!

[sja1508]

Pam, those pics are just too gorgeous. I love the dress and that cake is so cute!!!!

[sarahlynn]

Come on day...fly by faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lexsmama]

Adorable pics, Pam! So cute!

I never thought to play fireman. I'll see what I can find. Maybe a book or pics online.

Stacy, I hope all goes well tomorrow and you get to see your little GIRL! I'm so giddy. :silly: Oh heck, we're ALL so giddy! :laugh:

Oh, Jenny, I'm so sorry you broke your thumb! We miss you like crazy around here.

Lex is asleep here on the couch. I took pics on my camera phone thing, but dialup's so slow to post pics to show. Any ideas? It's "prop me up on the couch, Mama, and sing me a song please." So sweet. At least it keeps the coughing down. We have cuddled nearly all morning, and it makes me want to stay home all the time, but I know I can't. I'll just relish these few days and hope he does well in the morning. I know he will. :)

[sja1508]

ROFL!!!! I didn't mean that you wouldn't be getting the first call LYNN!!!! I just meant that IF I had Sarah's number I would call her next...........my son's future MIL is sure touchy today......LOL!

[newmami]

Pam, I am going to steal Morgan one of this days, she is adorable!!

Ash, I hope Lex feels better... I like the idea of playing fireman.... I wonder if I can I go play with firemen.... oops nevermind.....

Sarah, there is no way I can get PG as I had my tubes tied... I was just thinking in the remote case that happened, I would not be bummed...... no more babies here :(

[Momto3]

Its not that about Sarah...you left me out of the freakin plan all together! Don't forget to call your son's future MIL....hehehehe

[Momto3]

.... I wonder if I can I go play with firemen.... oops nevermind.....
