Morning!! Happy Friday!

I have to go to the bank and withdraw a buttload of money today... Eek.

without
08-01-2008, 09:06 AM
Did you need my address Ashley? So you know where to send that butt load of money!

Ashley, I have a quetion... I suck at scrap booking! Do people scrap book for people? And if they do does in cost a lot? I am wanting to do a scrap book of wedding and pre wedding stuff for my sister but... seeing as how I just lost money on the party I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I don't even know if people scrap book for others. LOL

PS wish I didn't suck at it and I would just do it myself lol

That would be such a great business for Ashley...scarpbooking for those who don't have the time or are not creative!

Good morning ladies...ITS FRIDAY!!!

i'm leaving in about 2.5 hours to go get the camper all set up..lucea has been saying "camper lake fishing boat" all day yesterday she is sooo excited...were coming back tomarow so be prepared to be bombarded by pictures :) ok!!



anyone have any weekend plans?

lexsmama
08-01-2008, 09:48 AM
Yes, people do scrap for others. And yes, I can if you need me. (Btw, I need to post pics of the simple one I'm throwing together for dh for back to school. :) ) It can be very expensive and it can be less expensive. Depends on products and if you're just doing pages or doing book included. There are basic kits at Hobby Lobby that you can buy and throw together with embellishements, too.

Money goes to the landlord and mil. Sorry.

without
08-01-2008, 10:06 AM
Sarah! Bring on the pictures!!
Ashley... thats no fun to hand over all that money to the land lord! and MIL LOL I wish you lived here so you could show me how to scrap book. I stink big time! I mean it! I can't even get those decritive siccors to cut paper! Sigh...
Claudia... where are you??
Stacy! Oh no! I fear I will be on vacation when Tara has the baby! I won't get to see pictures until I get back! Maybe I should post pone my vacation.... hm.....
Lynn... ay big weekend plans?

08-01-2008, 10:10 AM
Did I tell you all that I am taking Morgan Tuesday to ride the Branson Bell! I got a great deal on 1/2 off tickets and also found a great rate on our rooms if we booked on line. This will be great fun I hope she likes it because even with 1/2 off it was still 60 bucks for the two of us! Gulp!

I am here!!! just working... :indifferent:
I am right there with you Pam, I love the scrapbooks, but I do not think I have the talent to make them... seriously I think I should pick READING as my hobby!!! :laugh:

Ugh Ash, I understand how you feel... first of the month most of my paycheck goes to the landlord :crossed:

yay for camping Sarah!! I hope you guys have a wonderful time!!

Pam, when are you going on vacations???

No big plans for the weekend, just survive the heat... and buy some stickers for Dani (the best reward she can receive for going potty)
I should come up with something fun to do...... :chinscratch: too bad DH's son will be home........

newmami
08-01-2008, 10:12 AM
sounds fun Pam!! I have always wanted to do a boat dinner whatever.
We did a paddle boat ride in new orleans, but it was too long and at some point I just wanted to kill the stupid band and push everyone to the mississippi river

Momto3

No plans for me...oh wait, yes I do! School clothes shopping with the teens (eyeroll) and

the baby shower from hell for the SIL from hell!

eww.. I am glad I don't have your weekend lynn! Sorry! Hugs!
Claudia,, I don't think I would like a music show but this is supposed to be more of a comedy for kids with dogs. :) and you know how we LOVE dogs. LOL

newmami
08-01-2008, 10:53 AM
Let me ask you something... what do you do if you are taking the kids out late night, say for dinner?
I give them a bath, put them in PJ and we go to the restaurant... I have heard more than enough comments on how "cute" (read weird) that they are wearing their PJ... is that something people do not do here???

Momto3
08-01-2008, 10:56 AM
We ALWAYS put Katelyn in her PJs if we are going to be out late and she may fall asleep on the ay home. Not as much if she is eating dinner (but we will change her before we leave to go home) in case she spills food on her PJS.

without
08-01-2008, 11:07 AM
Claudia, I see nothing wrong with taking the kids out in there jammies if its a late night dinner! Do I do it... nope. LOL I am strange like that! Truly Morgan doesn't own but maybe 2 or 3 pairs of Jammies (that you sent her) so 1/2 the time Morgan just sleeps in a larg T-shirt and panties.

Girls,,, I can't say much because this is a public forum but I am so worried about my brother. I am afraid he could do some thing really stupid. He is feeling trapped. I may sound weired but he is getting a look in his eyes that scare me and reminds me of a dog that feels pinned and the only way they feel they can get out is to attack.

Momto3
08-01-2008, 11:16 AM
Eeek! I just ordered Shelly's senior pictures. **** they are expensive but I can't believe my baby is growing up! Yikes!

Pam - I am sorry your bother has you concerned like that. I hope he can get some help to ease his stress.

without
08-01-2008, 11:26 AM
I have tried every thing to get him to go get some help he won't do it! He sees his wife and kids as a burden and holding him back. :( So sad! He loves Kenli one of his kids but hates Denver the youngest little boy because he was an oops baby and David just keeps telling his wife I didn't want that kid you did!

Momto3
08-01-2008, 11:31 AM
Aww that is sad Pam. Poor little boy.

without
08-01-2008, 11:34 AM
I know! He is a great kid he was born at 28 weeks and only weighing 1 pound 8oz the little guy is a fighter and is doing great but.. has a deformity that he should grow out of. His head is big and so are his eyes. His head is shapped funny but its getting better now that he can sit up with the assistance of the bumbo and hold up his head and isn't laying down all the time. Sadly I have NEVER seen my brother hold his son and will hardly look at him.

newmami
08-01-2008, 11:35 AM
OMG Pam..... I am so sorry that your brother is feeling like that... and that he said those things to his wife :ohno:. Do you think he would just leave her?? would that be best case scenario???

It hurts me when men "blame" woman for getting pregnant... hello?? you were there as well, you wanted sex, right?? :pokey:

without
08-01-2008, 11:38 AM
Truly... I wish he would just leave her but he wont because she makes all the money because he is paying child support out the nose! He stays but is mean to his wife and his kids. He never hits them so she has no poof. She isn't a sait herself but I dont' care what she has done those babies don't need him in there life right now.

lexsmama
08-01-2008, 11:59 AM
Oh Pam, I understand.

I wish I could help you on the scrapbook, too! I'd love to help!

Girls, I'm a basketcase right now. I don't know what to do. You all know my situation with my mom. Most of you, right? My sister calls me today in tears. I can't say much bcs it's a public forum, either. I don't want them to see what she said. I NEED help. My guy about a thing has just left for vacation today~ for a week. Should I call his cell??

Pam, I feel the same you do, those poor kids should not be hearing certain things or being treated like crap... baby is here, GET OVER IT!!!
I guess it hits me a little too close to home, because of all the issue with DH...

without
08-01-2008, 01:19 PM
Candice....I am the same way I am so bad at giving advice because I let my emotions get in the way.
For example: I know Ashley and love her to death so I dont' want to see her hurt so I might not give the best advice because I am only thinking about Ashley. LOL I am no good at being fair!

lexsmama
08-01-2008, 02:02 PM
Lol, you girls don't HAVE to be fair. I know you're partial. :wink:

I think so much of you girls. You're all like my family.

:grouphug:

I just wanted to share what's going on, so you know where I am right now. I'm just waiting to see what she needs. Right now, I think it's just a shoulder and ear. We'll see afterwards.

newmami

Ash, you have to do whatever makes YOU comfortable... this may not be the time to be selfish, but given the circumstances, you have to protect yourself from being hurt and attacked again.

Be there for your sister, by all means, but please do not put yourself in the position where you will end up hurt again

I won't get in the middle of it, but if she needs me, I'll go get her, meet grandma halfway, her dbf halfway, whatever.

newmami
08-01-2008, 02:33 PM
Sounds like the best plan, Ash!!! :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Orlando?? Maybe?

newmami

I think I want to go to a place called GLAZE UNDER FIRE. You can decorate a piece of ceramic.... wonder how the kids will do there......

My sister talked to dad. It's going to be a long, hard road, but she's strong. We talked on the phone for over an hour. I asked her one question, "Will B stand up next to you if this gets bad?" She said he's already offered. I was good.

Morning ladies! It's officially monday again.

70% chance of rain here tomorrow, and a few scattered showers today with Edouard. Just letting you know we're alright. Power went out in my neighborhood last night, but it's on now.

Sister and I've been talking a lot. For now, I'm just working on getting her a box together for her apartment. Unti she says she needs me, I'm jsut moral support. She said she'd like to do it on her own as much as possible, and I'm so proud of her for that. Dad knows, Mom doesn't yet. She's lost some weight this past week over it all.

Ash, I am glad you are more at peace with your sister's situation, and that she is taking things calmly. Moral support is a wonderful thing! :hugs:

Hey Tracy, yay for going to the game!! :hi:

Lynn, how was the baby shower???? :pokey:

Our weekend was ok, we went to the pool yesterday, OMG Danielle is a natural, she is learning how to kick, and she can float steady just with the arm floaties :shocker:. Chris likes the pool as long as he can stand in the stairs. We had a blast

My parents called, and started telling me about all this plans they have for November, when we go there (haven't told them we cannot make it)... I hung up and started BAWLING my eyes, seriously I cried for like 20 min.... DH asked what was wrong, so I said it is killing me not being able to go... he said we will find a way, so we are playing games with Delta trying to find free tickets, so we can go. He realized it is that important for me.... who traded my selfish Dh for this one??? I hope they have a NO RETURN policy, because I am liking the new version a lot!!!

How IS Santi today, Bel? I heard about your rough weekend. I hope he's getting better. :hugs:

bel
08-04-2008, 11:15 AM
hi babes. Clau your DH´s atitude made my day happier :)
Thanks guys, he is doing better tyhanks God. Yesterday he left the bed for a good 30 mins to play with Ceci and chase Axel, that must be a good sign.
He also had spaghettis carbonara and loved it:silly:
We are really poor after this, Im not sure how are we going to make it. And the month is just starting, worries the crap out of me.
My uncle is doing better also, he had a respiratory stroke twice while the procedure (catheterism?correct me if Im wrong Clau), but he is fine now. We are hoping he can be moved to a regular room tomorrow, as he is still in the ICU.
The media has been insane (he is a senator) so I went there yesterday and couldnt almost get inside the hospital (because they dont allow them to get in) so until he goes to a regular room I told my cousin to call me if he needs me, my baby is sick anyway. So that´s it.
Thanks so much for asking. It means the world to me:winks:

newmami
08-04-2008, 11:18 AM
Hey Bel, glad that Santi is doing better, and same with your uncle.
Yes catheterism is the correct term!! sorry that you cannot go to the hospital, how insane!!
Just give Santi lots of love and care, he will be fine, I promise!
About the money, you will work it out... do you have some sort of insurance??

Sarah, how was the weekend in the RV???

bel
08-04-2008, 11:29 AM
Yes we have a very good insurance, but it doesnt cover medicines. Santi is getting 10 shots (one dayly) that cost a fortune. Amoung the otehr medicines that arent cheap at all. Seriously. But what can we do, health comes first.
O has to pay for his universitty and Ceci school (oth are insanely expensive too) so we will see how we can cover all that.

sarahlynn
08-04-2008, 11:53 AM
aww claudia the weekend was fun in the RV..we went down friday and got most of it set up and ready for weekend visits..the weather was shoddy on friday night lots of yucky rain around us and windy as all heck..but they have a kids fishing pond for 15 and younger its pretty big and me and the kids played in that they had just stocked it and there were little 5 inch fishies all around our feet eatin umm frech fries and fruit loops..HEY ITS ALL WE HAD TO FEED THEM :) we tried catching them in a bucket but those buggers are super fast..we are heading up again next weekend to do more..

Momto3
08-05-2008, 07:54 AM
Who? Wha? Happy Tuesday everyone! I am so tired. Shelly called at midnight that someone stold her license and ATM card. So I had to call the bank and cancel the card. I told her to come hom,e and stop hanging out with these people. She comes home and one girl texts her to check under her car seat. Sure enough it was there. Then I was so wound up that I could sleep so it was after 2 before I went back to sleep! Ugh!

lexsmama
08-05-2008, 08:17 AM
Morning. Ugh. I'm so tired. I didn't get to bed until after midnight. I slept through my alarm, went to McDs for a biscuit and juice, and still made it here before anyone else. That's sad.

That sucks, Lynn! I'm sorry!

newmami
08-05-2008, 08:37 AM
Ugh Lynn... sorry about getting all worked up for nothing. And sorry about "the moment" with Shelly... must be hard :(

Ash, who is Paula?? is she your boss?? I hope you get that job!!

We finally figured out what was wrong with Dani and night time... me staying in the room was just making her worked up and the longer I stayed with her, the harder it was for her to let me go. This week I put her on bed, kiss her and tell her I love her... she goes MAMI, MAMI until I close the door, then she calms down and goes sleep.
Oh and it has been 2 mornings that she wakes up and tells me she needs to go potty... YEAH!!!

lexsmama
08-05-2008, 08:50 AM
Yep, Paula's my right now boss. Sucks that I can't find my cell charger and the thing's almost dead...

That's GREAT Clau. Sweet Dani... :wub:

I realized that Lex is having mommy withdrawls lately. Dh puts him to bed, and he tries to get out and run for me for the past 4 nights. He's hysterical. As soon as I go in, he calms down and goes to sleep. It's strange how things have changed.

willsmama

Still waiting. And I can't find my phone charger. Need to go get a new one at lunch. I told my supervisor, and she said she was proud of me for applying. She said I'd be crazy not to. So, we wait. I have 2 friends calling over to talk to their friends to see if they know anything.

Nothing new here Sarah... just another boring day
I am in a pissy mood because our "Supervisor" is being a butt... I am spending ALL day tomorrow with her reviewing our files... I CANNOT STAND THE WOMAN!! I don't want to be stuck with her all day :rant:
I should go see the guy about a thing afterwards!!! :laugh:

Hi guys! I have been working and fighting with DH. I'm so over it! Its not even worth talking about.

I want the Wii fit too but the kids want a Wii more so I would probably never get on it!

Yay for Claudia figuring out Dani's sleep issues and her going potty! Tell her to give Katelyn a clue about the potty!

Studdering is starting to ease up a bit. So Yay!

:shocker::shocker::shocker:

Bah...its all so foggy now. We've been fighting over the kids. We always fight over the kids. I told him he should go to Connecticut on his own. He's hurt, too hurt to talk and just said bye. I don't have his exact words. but now I found out he is going out for a ride on his motorcycle cuz there is no work. How nice that he can go cruising while I sit here and worry about paying the fricking bills. I am so tired of being the responsible one. I hate this life we have made together and I LOVE my daughter beyond belief but I am sorry we got her into this mess! I never wanted to have another child that was a product of a broken home!

Basically the little girl disappeared, the mom took like 5 weeks to report her missing, and from there she has done nothing but lie about everything
really, if your DD is missing, you do not go party, and wait 5 weeks to call the cops

I'm doing ok, Thanks for asking Claudia. I guess we are going to stay together but the fighting over the kids is either going to kill us or make us stronger. Its just every time we fight like that, part of our spirit (or maybe the love) dies too. Its sad.

willsmama
08-06-2008, 08:51 AM
I know what you mean Lynn.....(((HUGS)))

sarahlynn
08-06-2008, 09:00 AM
I think every fight is kinda like that Lynn, well it is with me in my marrige. When we have a big fight a small piece of me just lets go and its pretty sad..like i slowly detach my self from the marrige cause fighting just hurts me so bad..hang in there..i hope it all smoothes over for you quickly..can i ask what the fighting about the kids is over? what does it deal with? you dont haev to talk about it if you dotn want to..

...

ok so i made a big deal out of something last night i maybe shouldnt have..when dh went to the lake last weekend with his friend i was like do you have an extra carseat cause he was taking my car and i didnt want to take the britax out..he said yeah and i look at his pickup to get it and umm its laying in the bed of his truck on its side drenched from teh rain the night before..i was like :eyebrow: seriously couldnt you just put the **** thing in the house so it doesnt get ruined..i didnt say that cause i was being good wife at the time..he said SH IT not good i'll take the cover off and wash it..so for days not the carseat has been sitting in the kitchen, cover off, and finally i go get the cover out of the dryer adn try put it on...welll when he frantically wripped the cover off to wash it that day he like took the whole **** thing apart..pieces all over and ****..i was not happy im like MATT why is it in pieces? he says well i didnt have to take it apart like that but i rushed and took them all offf..so i said screw it i'll but a new one..he said well itsnot ruined i'll put it together..but i was irriatedwith him and he went up to bed..lol ok long story about nothing but honestly dont put a ****ign carseat in the back of your pickup and leave it..its only a $40 seat but still..take care of sh it ya know..if it isnt his crap its not taken care of..his gun gets polished every fricking day but toss the kids carseat int he back of the pickup and leave it..

ok im a bitach today sorry..

Momto3
08-06-2008, 10:08 AM
I..can i ask what the fighting about the kids is over? what does it deal with? ...

Sorry about the car seat Sarah. That would suck and be such an irritation when it didn't need to be if only just a few extra steps were taken.

We fight about differences in raising kids. And if I knew how stressed and neurotic he was about it, I might not have done it. He did not have a very good childhood. Not that he raises Katelyn like that but I don't think he had much of a role model. Anyway an example was last night Tyler came home from his friends house and was all excited "I got my go-ped to work after all this time!" And the first thing out of Rick's mouth was "Where's your helmet did you have a helmet? I told you before you left that you needed to ride with a helmet...blah, blah, blah."

Now its not that I am not for safety but I am more for building my children's self-esteem because I had a childhood where my parents did not and I swore I would not raise them that way. So I said to him today "You know, you could have acknowledged his accomplishment and excitement first with a Gee that's great and then asked him about his helmet instead of berrating him for not wearing the helmet." Its stuff like that. Then he says I always take their side and he's always wrong and he's sick of being wrong and he's gonna stay out of it and not say a word anymore (he ALWAYS says that but NEVER does it!).
Its just old and I am tired of having this same fight over and over again because I don't like the way he is with the kids.

Another thing we fought about. Do you ever give your kids a bite of your food? Or Sarah does Lucea ever take a bite of Cy's food from where he bit from? It freaking grosses my husband out and he will flip out if the kids give Katelyn a bite of their food or from their fork. He goes "My child and it will be the way I want it when it comes to this."

Its my third kid...get over it already...she is going to get some dirt and germs in her life. Oh and the kids have to "sanitise" before they can touch her. Gafff! :ohno:

willsmama
08-06-2008, 10:16 AM
Ugh..parenting differences are soooo hard.....and I am just starting to experience them too...

Sarah-that would have pi$$ed me off too. I got home yesterday late with Will and it was National night out and we had to bring stuff to BBQ and a dish to share. All DH did was preheat the oven for me. Chairs needed to get set up, plates/napkins, brownies cut up, dip heated, brats taken out, buns, etc...

But, he got home early, changed clothes and went to the bathroom for 30 min.
Thanks DH.

Momto3
08-06-2008, 11:00 AM
Well that certainly sucked too Tracy! How did you do at WW yesterday?

newmami
08-06-2008, 11:37 AM
Sarah, I would have been upset as well about the car seat... I agree on taking care of your stuff, regardless on how much you paid for them :pokey:

Tracy, so sorry your DH was so oblivion about the help you needed... ugh :pokey:

Lynn.... ugh sweetie, I don't know what to say. I am in the step parent role as well, and after lots of arguments and head aches, I decided the best thing to do is to step out and let DH deal with his son. He made it clear that his son is not my responsability, and it is not up to me how to discipline or raise him.... took me a while to accept that and now I just don't deal with him... I have more than enough with my 2 LO... but I know it will ALWAYS be a sour subject between me and DH

YES, it is super hard raising kids when your parenting styles are so different... I am more into the gentle discipline, but DH gets annoyed quite fast (specially with Chris :() so his responses are a little more brutal, which makes me quite upset

Momto3

08-06-2008, 12:10 PM
Well, I wasn't, but now I am! I got the best massage I've ever had in my life today. Then, my bosslady told me to go on home. I'm eating a grilled cheese and water right now, then I'm going to rest a little while.

Aaw, Lynn, parenting styles suck when they differ so much. We've just hit that rocky road too. Dh is now telling me how to do my mama job when I get home from work. It sucks and makes me feel even worse.

It's okay, Sarah. I've had the same arguement with dh that you did with the carseat. We go round and round all the time with those things.

willsmama
08-06-2008, 12:12 PM
I dunno where Ash is...

WW was down .4 I am at a plateau....I have until Labor Day to lose this last 3 lbs..or else I am just calling the weight I am at goal and moving on. :)

I also pretty much try to stay out of the step parenting arena, but my SD lives halfway accross the country...


I am the opposite, I feel like I lose patience faster than DH does with Will and that makes me look like the bad parent. :(

willsmama

Sorry you got into a rough patch with Michael.... it hurts when Dh criticised parenting decisions.

Hey girls. I just needed a massage. That's all. I needed some me time. I got tired of dh telling me he's sick all the time and sleeps all the time when I'm tired too. So, I booked massage.

sarahlynn
08-06-2008, 10:29 PM
good for you doing that for yourself..man im feeling the need for a massage as welll...hmmm i might be calling tomarow for one for myself..

everyone is in bed and im just not tired..dh is crashed on the couch..cy is at nanas..lulu just went to bed..we hung out at the zoo for awhile this evening and just walked around the weather was so nice..

man there are sooo many bats outside right now..right in the trees in my front yard..you go out and you can see them flying all over catching bugs..ya never see them in the daylight i wonder if they sleep in the trees or maybe in my attic EEK :)

Ashley - Yay for the massage! Hope you get your call soon!

newmami
08-07-2008, 09:29 AM
:laugh:I guess it is german, Sarah??? :dunno:

Tracy, it is ok to lose your cool with the kids... we working moms are on a tight stressing schedule, so our stress level is probably higher. Just remove yourself from the situation... I have placed myself on Time Out couple of times, because I am ready to explode! Dani gets a kick of mami being on time out

Ash, I am glad you did something for yourself... I should follow the example... DH and I talked and he wants some time for his hobbie (he is super stressed at work) so I agreed to give him Sundays free of Daddy duty... but for some reason I just cannot take 30 min to go get a pedicure without feeling guilty about leaving the kids.... Dh asked me if I was jewish in my previous life, because I am a sack of guilt!!!

Hope you get the call Ash!!! :luck:

Yay Lynn for no new glasses... I have the same graduation for the last 8 years, but I wear contacts, so I still need to get them. I would consider Lasik, but had that done in Mexico with my super hansdome Ophtalmologist....

Sarah, how are things with Matt and his new work schedule??

Candice, Stacy, please come back!!! :please:

I have NOTHING to do at work... I am covering the reception and being the cliche receptionist filing her nails :lol:

It really didn't freak me out, they made me so calm about it and both eyes, no kidding takes under 10 minutes. It is SOOOOO worth the money to me. You don't even realize what they are doing, there is NO pain, and the only 'discomfort' after is a 'drier' feeling to your eyes for a few weeks, but they give you drops for that.

I would tell ANYONE to do it. Plus, if you want, the morning you do it, they'll give you a valium in case you freak out. :)

Seriously, I would do it again any day.

I should join you in the diet train... I just have a hard time finding the motivation to eat healthy... I am so fed up with work all I can think of is food.... ugh but if it helps, I have been eating smaller portions (like half of what I usually eat)
I need to leave the office at 3 so I can go work out, then get the kids, without feeling guilty!! :ohno:

Speaking of guilt, I was thinking about getting Dani in swimming lessons, the only one I found in the afternoons is from 6-7, which means she would have to eat late, sleep later and get less sleep..... so all this bumms me out beyond reason because I pretty much cannot do anything with my kids in the afternoon, and brings me back to feeling guilty for working all day and being a horrible mom.
Seriously.... :truce: how can I shake all this guilt from my being????:bigeyes:

Claudia, one night a week won't be bad. I say you do it!!!

I am thinking I am going to do a mommy and me swim class this winter to cure some of the snowy Minnesota blues. :)

Whenever I lack motivation, I think of growing up 'chubby'...how I didn't want that for Will, so I have to lead by example...for some reasons (sometimes) it works for me.

I'll hit the diet wagon with you, Sarah. I've done wii fit three days in a row, and I've lost half a pound! Not much, but I'm happy.

I slept 4 hours this afternoon! Whoopie!!!

Class finals are tomorrow. I get to write a paper, do a ppt, and do a test. Eek.

I am missing you girls tons. I hope this place will kick back up tomorrow, or next week.

Dh got a follow up for his mri, lunesta cause he can't sleep, and a blood pressure medicine. Oh, and another EMG. He won't take the stupid medicines! Dunce sometimes. He thinks he's fine, so he won't take the bp or the cholesterol meds. Grrr... I'm getting ticked. I let him have it today.

Apparently I need to get a wii fit as well, huh???

Ash, hope school goes well, we miss you here!!

Yes, sometimes DH are just too asnine for their own good... and OMG they are so bad when it comes to taking medication!!

There is something bothering me... my SIL called DH and told him their dad was having some heart problems, that is all she knew.... this was last weekend and DH has not called his dad!! I hate that he is so disconnected from his dad, no wonder why they never call us!! (I call my parents every week and we keep in touch with emails and the blog)

lexsmama
08-07-2008, 02:51 PM
That's weird, Clau. I wish people would call in those situations. My dad won't call me unless there's a dire emergency. :(

Hey sweeties!!! Just checking in. Been super busy with wrapping up work stuff (I'll be off for the next 2 wks). Tara is doing good, just had our last OB appt. Her BP was still a little high but Tues induction is still on for 6am. Dr said he'd expect Cooper around 8pm-midnight. Ugh.....

Good news is that I got a B in my Anatomy class. I'm so thrilled!!! Wish us good vibes and hope that Tara progresses quickly. Lynn, please let me know how late I can call you without it being too late. Don't want to wake the whole family up! LOL!!!

willsmama
08-07-2008, 03:51 PM
Thanks for the update Stac! I hope it goes fast for Tara--And YOU! ;) Who is taking Zack for you guys? :) Can't wait to hear the update! And YAHOO on the B! :)

08-07-2008, 03:53 PM
My Mom is going to take him to daycare like normal and pick him up at 4:30pm. Hopefully, Tara's dad will stay at home with him and she'll put him down for the night and come back to the hospital in time for the birth. Of course, that's if Cooper cooperates.....LOL!!!

Yay Ash... you can toss the pills now!!! :celebrate:

I had a total meltdown yesterday night.... :truce:

What happened claudia?
:(

newmami
08-08-2008, 08:53 AM
well... about not being able to do much with the kids during the week, because I am stuck at work... and because I hate this place and the people who work here.... and because I know things are not going to change ever, and because I am tired of sucking it up
I feel that my children deserve a better mom, one who can spend more time with them and have fun, instead of everything being a freaking down to the minute routine.....

I feel like a failure as a mom :( :cry:

sarahlynn
08-08-2008, 09:02 AM
Stacy that is great news on the B and that cooper is still on schedule for tuesday..im so excited for the both of you..

claudia knock that sh it off you are not a bad mom..your kids love you and you do so much for them..we just have to cram all our stuff into a short few hours a week..

so tell me more about the wii fitt? I THINK THAT WOULD COST A LOT MORE THAN MY GYM MEMBERSHIP and i loath the thought of a nother video gaem in my house

Momto3
08-08-2008, 09:07 AM
Claudia! NO ONE could ever be a better Mom to those two children then you! Stop that! You are a great Mom!

willsmama
08-08-2008, 09:08 AM
Claudia, you aren't a horrible mom. You love your kids....they will know that and appreciate and love you for the rest of their lives for what you are doing to be able to provide for THEM.

Sarah, I think they are $600. Depending on how much your gym membership is over 6 months, plus any 'joiners' fees, it might break even?

Oh Gosh Ashley...that sucks! I would place a follow-up phone call on the status of their interviews.

willsmama
08-08-2008, 09:21 AM
I did 6 a few weeks ago, I have a 1/2 day today and Will would be napping, so I am leaving him at DC and doing the run, it should take me just about over an hour. He wouldn't last that long. I can go max 4 miles with him before he wants OUT. :)

Then I clean/finish laundry/go to Target and pick him up from DC.

Then I go make dinner. :)

Buffalo grilled chicken tenders. MM!

:bow:7 miles Tracy... wow!!

Ash, sorry about the job situation.... I hate when they give you false hopes... I dealt with that for a while, that is why I stopped applying for internal jobs, I know I am not going to get them because "someone" doesn't want me to... whatever!!

Eeks, the wii fit is kind of expensive, huh?? maybe I should forget about that one :shocker:

Dh also told me the same you did lovely ladies... and I wish I could shake all this guilt and I am a crappy mom feelings, but I am having a very very hard time doing it.... :crazy:

lexsmama

I am sure there is an exception to your dose of prozac when the guy about a thing is out... BTW how DARE HE take vacation??? :lol:

I am freezing here!! it just poured and the A/C is blasting... and I had salad for lunch... I need some soup

08-08-2008, 12:12 PM
It really didn't freak me out, they made me so calm about it and both eyes, no kidding takes under 10 minutes. It is SOOOOO worth the money to me. You don't even realize what they are doing, there is NO pain, and the only 'discomfort' after is a 'drier' feeling to your eyes for a few weeks, but they give you drops for that.

I would tell ANYONE to do it. Plus, if you want, the morning you do it, they'll give you a valium in case you freak out. :)

Seriously, I would do it again any day.


Thanks for the info. Maybe I can save up to get it done. I sure wish insurance would cover it!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been chatty this week. Just been kinda blah. :indifferent:

Ugh and right when I was writing this my brother called me and was being an a$$hole. :cry:Chris is at my cousin's apartment today and she wanted to take Chris swimming but I didn't send floaties because I thought she had some. Well apparently she doesn't so she called my brother to see if he could go grab some for Chris and now he's being a butt about it. I had already called him to see if he would go get him some and he said no, but she called (not knowing I had called) and I guess he felt like he had to say yes. So then he calls me asking where the f her apartment is 'cause he doesn't know where to go. I told him if he was going to be an a$$hole then to just not get them. UGH!!!!! It's rare that we fight, so now I feel like crying.

I swear I did not come in here just to cry to you guys. It just happened. :(

newmami
08-08-2008, 01:32 PM
Ugh Candice, I am so sorry that your brother made a big deal out of nothing :hugs:

You can always come and cry here.... seems that this is not the best week anyways...

Lynn, how are things with DH??

Momto3
08-08-2008, 01:38 PM
Sorry about your brother Candice. Maybe he's just having an off day himself.

Things with DH are meh. Not exciting. We sit and watch some tv next to each other but its not a warm and romantic feeling y/k? Haven't DTD in 2 weeks and I KNOW that bothers him. Me...not so much!

newmami
08-08-2008, 01:46 PM
Ugh Lynn... is he willing to talk about it? are you still going to the gal about a thing??
I need to call mine, we are getting ready for an Audit, so I wasn't sure when I could go again

08-08-2008, 02:59 PM
Ugh Lynn... is he willing to talk about it? are you still going to the gal about a thing??


He always wants to talk...not me. I'd rather keep stuff inside so no ones feelings get hurt. Every time we talk I always end up hurting him with my feelings. I haven't seen the gal about a thing in a while. She gave me a referral for Shelly and didn't make me an appt that week and then she never called to see how it went so I never bothered to call and make another appt.

newmami
08-08-2008, 03:09 PM
Lynn, I completely understand because I do the same thing, I rather SUCK IT UP than hurting people... but I realized that keeping things inside was consuming me and making things worse, so I learned how to say things in order NOT to hurt the other people

Besides, like my Therapist said, people CHOSE to get hurt by what you said!!!

Morning!

Sweet babies, Lynn!! Swet sweet. :wub:

Weird job-related story. My friend/dept admin asst just told me that a lady called last week looking for me, the admin asst at the Charter School. She (Friend) proceeded to tell the lady that I didn't work at the Charter School, I was employed by our dept. She then went off on my friend wanting to know why she didn't get an interview that she was more than qualified, and that she needed to know why and a heads up if she wasn't getting the job... Weird.

That is a weird situation Ash... I would not make anything from it, except that the lady is a crazy lady :crazy:

Lynn, the picture of your kids is beautiful!!! :wub:

I just came out from a meeting... ugh!!. The daycare lady changed her hours, so I drop the kids at 8am, and had to give them breakfast at home... I learned something, do not get them dress BEFORE eating!!! :laugh:

I found my college friends in facebook... saw the pictures of the only one who has kids... she looks like she rather be dead than hug her boys... made me super sad :ohno:. Then all of them are still single, partying like they are in their 20... is it bad that I felt a little sorry for them???

lexsmama
08-11-2008, 09:15 AM
