Yay Friday! (again, don't ask me why- not like it is all that different to me LOL, it just makes me feel good thinking yay- weekend! hahaah!)

I have been having a crazy summer with plans being changed all of the time. My parents were going to take the kids and I to Liberty Science Center today. Then Scott decides he doesn't wan't to go. Caitlyn thinks she sprained her ankle yesterday and the weather here is supposed to get nasty- heavy T-storms, hails, winds etc. So mom and I decided that there was no point in making ourselves crazy and run around if the kids aren't even into it.
So what could have been a fun day, now means me sitting home doing housework. bah.

I guess it is good though. I think all of the carbs I have been eating ever vacation/summer is really hitting me still. I feel so achy and my head has been killing me. I feel hungover even tho I am not drinking.

Maybe today I can get some of my vacation pics uploaded.... and scrapped



Today is Finish it Friday-- anyone have stuff to finish? My list is pretty big LOL
 
And my personals--

Linda W- I would love it if you won the lottery- and Sally is right, Family Reunion is Cozumel LOL
Scott royally ticked me off yesterday- somedays I just can't stand his attitude. He and Cait can't be in a room together with out each of them getting their noses up each others butt. grrrr
Please keep reminding me that in 10 years they will be best friends.....

When is Cameran's big day? Is it today? No, Monday? I know Sharron is getting excited! Two big milestones in your family :)

Sally- Woot on your Stamping Group! I have been a baaaaad bad friend, I haven't had a chance to do your spotlight yet:( I still have today tho!!!

Linda P- awesome!!!!!!!! I loved those frames- just gorgeous. And to think- just what? 6 months ago, you were starting out and look at you now! Yay!
Yes, the pig went oink oink, then bark bark oink. -- I swear!! LOL

Clara- thats crazy about the ditch. LOL at having to "warn" the non-Italians about the touchy feeling Italians LOL- so true- Gary had a rough time adjusting to my family when we first met. And emotional- gah! Poor guy-- we had just gotten engaged when my grandfather passed-- his first time around my way-extended family, first time at a Catholic church, wakes, feast afterwards... Its amazing he didn't run off. (I think the good Italian cooking kept him LOL)

Andrea- I think your brain and my brain are off playing and running in the fields together- oh look at butterfly!:D
Have you posted pics of Gravy (love that name!)?
How often will you get to hear from Vince? Can you email? Hope so!
Perfect summation of Italians vs others- spot on!

Sandra- good luck with your appt. Let us know how it goes. I used the book 1,2,3 Magic (IIRC) when my kids were littler, and I liked the way it worked. Now they look at my like I am insane if I say "I am counting to 1...." sheesh

Dawn- family dysfunction- heck, I can totally relate to all that! Never feel like you can't share with me. I will never/can never judge, only empathize and sympathize.

To everyone who comes in, enjoy your day!
 
good morning... the kids did NOT sleep late ugh... they were all up by 6:30 this morning... yeesh... we have to leave in about half an hour for Will's appt... we'll see how things go although he's already had a mini tantrum this morning... *sigh* I'm soooo tired, so I hope things will stay calm today...

Chris - I'll let you know... I've never heard of the book, but may have to look into it... maybe I need to change my approach too!

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Good morning my lovely O family!!

I hope everyone is well and HAPPY today!!

I have a headache...but not enough to get me down!! today I am working on stuff for my DH...poor thing...he always gets pushed to the back burner...so he thinks!! But he knows in the back of his mind it's not really the case!! He is like everyone else though...RESULTS are all that matters!! LOL!! if anyone can results on something it is usually me...they just need to be patient with me and let me do things as I can!! He is just anxious, because I have been working on getting him some leased land for a year now...well the bid is over and it's his but the details have to be dealt with (one being the money) and some of his people who were doing this with him have backed out...and right now..this lease is going to cost each of them $1600 for this year....THAT'S NOT HAPPENING!! It was only suppose to be $500 and that was a stretch from what it's been in the past on the other land (we have only been paying $300/year) and this year our money has been stretched for unforseen things anyway...so It's just one more thing!! But I am working on it!! WHAT I DON"T DO FOR THESE PEOPLE!! only because I love them so much!!

I gotta run for now....I be back in a few for some personals....ANY ONE HERE NEED ANYTHING DONE FOR THEM????

I love you guys too!!:p
 
Good afternoon O's. We just got back from a trip to the mall for some playtime and meeting the hubby for lunch at the coney. Both big girls are asleep and after Chase eats he probably will be also. Its funny because at the coney G was a bit late so I had all three kids,they were being very good because I had the art box with me, the waitresses all told me how much I had my hands full. Most days though I really don't feel like my hands are full, I love it...maybe I am just a bit crazy :). Don't get me wrong we are busy but its a good busy. On another good note I think Sadie is about ready to potty train. I didn't plan on starting for a couple more months but for the last week she tells me when she has to go and %50 of the time she does. Next week we may start potty boot camp :). I think it may have to do with the cloth diapers because she can tell better after she has gone.

Well I am off to do my least favorite chore...fold laundry...then I can reward myself with some scrapping and maybe even a little digishopping!!!
 
hey all... back from the pediatrician... bad news is that Will's behavior was just a nightmare... good news the doctor saw some of it firsthand although it was mild compared to what we've had... she's changed his meds from Concerta to Adderall XR... there are risks associated with both of course, but the psychotic affects with Adderall XR are much less severe than the Concerta... she's also referred me to Dr. Richard Welsh who is the local ADD/ADHD expert - I'm just waiting for his office to call me back... so we'll see what happens... he starts the new meds tomorrow... keep your fingers crossed that this helps...
 
Hi girls! It has been the craziest week for me....ugh! Will be glad when school starts...I think! LOL

Tomorrow is tax free weekend and I must be crazy cuz I am taking DD #3 shopping for her school clothes. I am going to be stressed by the time we are done....I already know! Oh well....I will just come home and rest after that.

I quit my part time job (10 hrs a week). I just never knew how I was going to feel from day to day and hated having to call in all the time when I wasn't feeling well. It never failed it seemed. The one day I was going to go in to work like 5 hours, I would be sick. Like this Tuesday, had planned to go into work and woke up with a UTI. I didn't make much anyway. I just had the job to get me out of the house once in a while. I immediately felt a HUGE relief when I gave my notice. I was sooooo happy! I hate commitments so, now the only thing I have to worry about it taking care of DH and the kids.....YAY!

Well, I just wanted to pop in and see what everyone was up to real quick. It has been a stressful day cuz I had to take DD for shots and waited in line at he school to show proof of her shots for an HOUR! So, I am off to nap after my little "chill" pill......;)

Chris - I am sooooooo glad to see you back! I missed you! Have you heard anything on disability? I applied back in April and am still waiting to hear! I know they will most likely deny me this first time and I will have to reapply tho. The process takes so long!

Hi to everyone else! Huggles!
 
Sandra - dh takes adderall. He doesn't take the XR because it doesn't work as well for him, so he has to take it 2-3 times a day, which is a problem when he forgets. He took ridalin initially but had to keep upping his does, so he switched to adderal. It makes a huge difference. It was kinda funny (well, now after the fact). For awhile I thought he was depressed and was really worried about him...then when I finally talked to him about it I found out he had only been taking maybe 1 pill a day...sometimes - if he took any. So, now he is taking his pills appropriately and life is good. So, I have good things to say about aderal and I hope it works as well for Will as it has for Derek. Good luck.
 
Joslyn - Good luck with potty boot camp. We had to do that too. Addie woke up one morning and we had no place to be so I told her she didn't get to wear diapers any more. She still had accidents but now we are to the point that when she has an accident it is usually right next to the toilet and she just couldn't get there fast enough. So good luck to you on potty trainging. I hope it goes really well.
 
NeeNee - I am happy for you that you were able to quite your job. I hope not working is easier for you. Sounds like no tax day would be pretty crazy. Where are you at where they have no tax days? That is pretty cool to be able to do that for school shopping, although it also sounds like it would create a huge amount of mayhem. I hope it goes smoothly.
 
Linda - you sound a little frustrated. Big squeezy hugs for you. Do you feel your eyes about to pop out? Heehee!! You are such a sweet wife trying to make your dh feel important. I like to tell my dh to get over it. LOL!! Not really. I do try sometimes too.
 
Chris - I am sorry the kids weren't as excited about the trip as you had hoped. I think you and your mom should have gone someplace without them that was really fun and they couldn't go. That's what I do to DH when he's a brat about going somewhere. I'll go someplace and have the best time and tell him all about it, even if it wasn't the original plan. And I'll leave him with the kids while I do it. I guess it is harder to do that with the kids...but I still think you and your mom should have done something together without them instead of housecleaning. Yuck!! Who wants to do that instead of a day of fun. I hope you had a good day regardless.
