GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!

Pick out a k-cup 'cause :tea: is on me this manic Monday!!!!!

I'm going to try and knock out some personals before I get all Me Me MEEE this morning!

Laurie -- WTG! I hope your trash man doesn't keel over from the shock! I also hope that everything is smoothing out for you, I've been praying!!

Clara -- I'm so glad I got Derek and You addicted to Psych. Jeff's been doing the fist bump + explode like thing for the last week. I think it's time to cut him off. I hope you got addie to bed & get plenty of rest!

Linda -- I hope you got all your need-to's taken care of! Yeah, I'm really glad Jeff's OK too!!!! I wish I could share the pictures :(

Laurie -- Ask Clara for the link to her church's video feed, I can't find it in all my bookmarks! I have some other ones to recommend, but they're all bookmarked over on Jeff's computer.

Kayleigh -- Baby yet?!?!?!?!


Time for Meeeeeee!

So, Jeff's fine, we're pressing charges... can't remember if I already said that...

But, it does look like he might get moved back to graveyard. We're going to fight it if that happens. He has a meeting on Friday and doesn't know what for, and with all the other people who have to go to the meeting... that's what we think it is. He's going to suggest that some other people get moved to graveyard, people who haven't been on graveyard in over a year. It's not fair for him to keep getting moved around to pick up everyone else's slack just because he's the hard worker.

I really don't want him back on graveyard. Remember how I said I would miss having the bed to myself some nights a week? Well now I'm totally dreading that. I can't fall asleep without him. I'm going to turn into an owl if he goes on graveyard!!!!

Today we're going to hit up Target and get some things we're running low on. I'm going to get something to pamper myself, just don't know what yet. I still have the stomach flu going on, and now I feel a cold coming on... my dad was complaining that I'm always sick... but it's kind of hard to not be sick when you don't have an immune system because it's busy attacking itself! Silly auto-immune disease!

Suggestions on something to pamper myself with that wont break the bank? I'm at a total loss.

I hope you ladies have a wonderful Monday!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hey sweetie Meg!

I am goign to join you for some :tea: lots of it!
Can you drink ginger tea? That is very calming for nausea. Gary also chews ginger gum (you can get it in some pharmacies) if he can't take his pills and be knocked out.

My fingers and toes are all crossed that Jeff keeps the shift he is on.It doesn't seem fair that they move him around. Does he have any say and/or seniority?

To pamper yourself- a foot bath pedicure with some yummy smelling oils? Warm towels and see if Jeff can give you a foot massage? Even one of those wooden fotter roller massagers would be nice. There are also pressure points in the feet that might be good for the tummy.
although if you have an auto-immune.... you don't want to rev that up any more than it is.

I am off to Walmart today, I need new glasses and contacts- been a few years and I think I might be ready for bifocals. :Cry:

I am going to drink some more coffee, and run through the new posts. be back later!

xoxo
 
cough, cough- morning all - despite all my fluid pumping, resting, humidifier and nasal rinses, I can't shake this crud and plan on going to work (no fever) and getting a dr appt to see if they believe it has moved from viral to bacterial and to get a script for a new rescue inhaler- I had several small attacks last night where I couldn't get the air out- ughhh. So I will offer mask wearing to all my kiddo's parents, I see that I have two coming in today that I haven't seen in a while, or see if I can move them to tomorrow after I have seen the dr. It will be good to get out of the house, but I want to be well.

As far as me me monday- today I will be true to myself!! I will get on the treadmill, I will drink copious amounts of water
 
Oh Laurie!!!! I am sorry you have this crud!! I have had for WEEK #7 now!! I feel good now, but the cough cough lingers on....I was going to go to the Dr this weekend to try for some more antibiotics (stronger than Z Pac) but it seemed to be slowing down...and this morning I did not wake up hacking my head off like most mornings...so I THINK (we know where that gets us..huh?) it may be drying up!!!
I hope you feel better and yes GO TO THE DR!!! Especially if you need an inhaler!!!

Meg....I hope Jeff keeps his shift too sweetie!!! It really isn't fair to keep shuffling him around!!! Oh dear...I hope you feel better quickly...the stomach flu is bad....how long have you had it now?? maybe you should see the Dr, it could be something else going on!!!!

Chris....UUUUGGGGHHH!! Bifocals!!! I got mine last year!!! They don't work for me....the only thing that works for me is to put my contacts in and use reading glasses. I am going soon to get new glasses and I am not having the bifocal this time. AND.....I am getting PLASTIC FRAMES this time!!! I have hated these frames with a passion all year!!!! I got them a little over a year ago. I can get either glasses or contacts each year with our vision insurance (they pay $100 for contacts and $145 for glasses...$100 for the frames, $45 for the lenses)...so I got my glasses in Nov of 2009 and contacts January or February of 2010....and I usually keep my glasses for a couple of years...but THESE HAVE DRIVEN ME NUTS..they are too heavy, they get out of alignment all of the time, and the nosepads are aweful!!!!!!! Ooooh...sorry to rant on!!!! :hurt:

So I did mostly nothing all weekend...I watched a lot of episodes of Criminal Minds, and a few movies.....very lazy weekend!!! I scrapped a few pages.....the most I have scrapped in a week is two pages in almost two months....but I scrapped about 6 pages over the weekend!! YAY!!!!!!

BUT..........today I have to clean...since I did not do much of that over the weekend....but I think my body needed the RESTING time!! Cameran will be here today too...he has strep....I have to quarentine him to the bedroom....well, at least keep out the other kids faces....he should be okay, because he has been on his antibitics for two days now. But to be safe....he is staying in my room to play!!

WE have the blizzard coming our way tomorrow!!! Well, not really a blizzard..but the real snow is coming....looking for a mess this time!!! At least 4"....

Okay...I am off....I need to get busy!!!
 
hey girlies!!!

quick fly by for me...we had a friend who's visiting from the land of OZ come and spend the night last night and it was the second night in a row that i was up til 3am...so today we are going to meet her mom for coffee and lunch and enjoy as much time together as possible!!

Remember, all of you are dearly LOVED!!!!! hugs and special healing hugs to my sickie besties!!!
love you all... (fresh start...it's a fresh start today...you will love today!!!! just sayin'...)
 
oOoOoOo the waiting game, how old. My due date is tomorrow, however I think this huge baby is going to take her time and will have to be evicted to get her out lol. Stubborn like her mama.

I'm curious, how many of you are desktop vs. laptop users? And what brand of PC do you choose above the rest?
 
Passing through to say hi!! Hope you all are having a good Monday!

Kayleigh - good luck with the new baby! I use a laptop at home - it's a dell.

Hi Sally, Linda, Laurie, Meg -- sounds like some of you are ill, hope you feel better!!
 
Hey ladies!!

Today is a lazy day and I am about to take a nap. I was about to go to bed last night when Addie woke up wide awake and kept me up until nearly 4AM!! I'm just glad I was still up because I wouldn't have been able to wake up and do that. So now it is nap time.

It snowed here today. Last night school was called off due to the potential wintery weather. So strange. In Washington school is not called off until we have actual weather because the weather there is fairly unpredictable...I mean if they say it will rain it will, but snow is never more than 50% and never for sure enough to call off school. So, I was amazed to see snow on the ground this morning. Needless to say I am staying in the h ouse for the next couple of days while the roads will be yucky with snow and freezing rain. So no enrolling Ethan for school. I even had all Ethan's paperwork all together. I really just want to get him all enrolled and meet his teacher. I was hoping to meet his teacher ahead of time and maybe see if we could get him scheduled ahead of time to have him tested for placement and stuff so that he can go in and be put into the right groups right away, ya know? That would be really cool. Hopefully we'll be able to find a good teacher. I don't know how to find teacher info or find what people say about the teachers. I wish I did. I know I don't want him in the class our neighbor is in. She doesn't sound so great and she handles situations horribly. Her son was being picked on to the point that she had to be called and then the teacher was assigning play reading parts and assigned her son to a female part and a few other things that were just thoughtless. The issues her son was involved in had principal participation, so it wasn't just little stuff.

Well, I am going to head off for a nap after some personals...

Meg - yes...psych is on the computer regularly now. And Derek has started watching for pineapples and they are there randomly. Crazy. Now, you need to get a little head bubble to compensate for that auto immune disease. That would be awesome to see you walking around with a fishbowl on your head. Okay, I am cracking myself up. I hope you feel better soon.

Chris - bifocals?? Eeeek!! I've never had to worry about that. My mom hated them and finally went to contacts, same as Nana. Good luck with them and with Walmart in general. Ick!!

Laurie - I hope you got some church in yesterday. Like Meg said there are a lot of great churches online. I know mine has services online and on iTunes...www.manachurch.org if you ever need a service. But Joel Osteen is always on tv too. I've never watched him but I know a lot of people like him...obviously since his church is the size of an arena and he's broadcast nationally. You really need to get to feeling better. This yuck you've got is not good. Maybe you're at a point where an abx would help now. Then you could start getting better. I am finally getting to the point where I can lay down and like feel like I am going to choke and drown if I don't cough and hack. HUgs!!

Linda - I am so glad you got to have a restful weekend. That is fun that Cameron gets to be all snuggled in your room today...too bad he's sick. But I'll bet he loves being about to be with his Nana when he doesn't feel good. I didn't like being with my grandma when I was sick because her house was dirty and dusty so it was a good snuggle house...but she would definitely care for us. I hope you get better soon too. I'm glad you are noticing some improvement, even if small.

Sally - I just love those special visits. I'm glad you are having so much fun spending time with your friends. It is always great to see you in here.

ME - Have a great day. Big hugs!!
 
Kayleigh -- I'm a macbook person!!!!!!!!!! It's going to last me probably another decade if I need it to! We're probably going to use our tax return to buy a dell laptop for my in-laws. They had my husband's old laptop, but the graphics card on it just went out. If we have enough money left from our tax return to pay off half of my credit card... and then some, we might get a new ipad if they announce them soon.

DO NOT get an HP laptop... they have issues. Just ask Clara, I had to psychically fix her's... aka force her to get a new power supply. My family had HP laptops for years... we kept having to replace them after 18 months... uhm not good. I also used to be against Dell, but they've actually improved.

If you're thinking about getting one for use with the baby -- do it!!! All of my friends with babies love having their laptops to kill time between naps or whatever when they're not cleaning up puke. I'd also get a portable external hd for all of your photos & digiscrap stuff, leave your laptop hd for programs. My EHD isn't portable and it drives me nuts.

I'd also check NewEgg's deals, they are amazing.
 
I am on my third dell laptop in the last 7 years and every single one has had the same problem. The hinge on the left side has broken and I am told it will cost more to fix it then the laptop is worth. I used to swear by dell but the quality of their laptops seems to have gone down drastically.

I'm looking in to getting a new one when I get my taxes back and I'm looking at an HP but I want more opinions first.
 
evening all - sinus infect and double ear infect- just took the anitbiotic- I may have to ask for a diff one though cause bleck in the tummy - already bought probiotics to help ease the symptoms- we shall see.
 
Kayleigh -- that's actually wear and tear from how you open the laptop, you must be opening it from the left side instead of in the center. Other than the power supply, we've found that HP laptops have awfully made screens -- they fall apart no matter what after a year or two. Not just at the hinges, but at the actual seems.

Laurie -- awww get better!!! I <3 Align probiotics, they're the only one that don't make me worse. They also help keep ahem... the lady parts from getting infections from the antibiotics.

Eat something good and substantial when taking abx. Otherwise you will feel super sick. Not sure if that helps but I hope so.
