CHEERY O
I shouldn't be complaining at all (and I guess i am not really, its just nice to know I don't have to get up with my alarm tomorrow) b/c since the end of Dec. we have had more days off than on. Winter Break, snow day last Friday, snow day two days ago, and off on Monday for MLK/IN service day.
And yet, somehow, my house is still a mess, I still have piles of paper to work on.... and I feel so scattered. I guess its just the way i am meant to be. :)

Got "good" news yesterday- I spoke to the woman who wants me to clean for her. I am meeting her tomorrow at her house to see what we can come up with for scheduling and prices. She is actually looking for me to come every other week, with the possibility of every week! Sweet!

I am off to my mom's today. I got a notice that some stock shared I had from a baby need to be sold or I'll lose them (2 whole shares, i am riiiiiiccccchhhh! ) so dad and I have to head over to the bank to get the paperwork "Medallioned" and hopefully I'll have some extra cash in hand in a few months. Its not a lot, but it will pay for a week or so of groceries. Every little bit helps.
Then mom and I are going over how to download pics of her digital camera (again). She cracks me up. She got her camera 2, maybe 3 years ago. She carries it everywhere and never takes a pic. Her memory card is full becasue she doesn't remember how to download them, even though her printer has a mem card slot. So whenever I get the chance, I do all of the updates on her computer, download her pics, try to get her a bit more used to technology. But I have to give her credit-- I migh tbe better at the tech stuff, but no one can cook from scratch like she can.

What are your plans today and this weekend?
Hope you have fun stuff to do!
 
More :tea: Nana Linda???
Some days you just have to mainline that stuff :D

Clara!! I think I have to disown you as my sis. How can you not have coffee in the morning and still function? I'd be sucking on coffee beans if I couldn't get my coffee pot to work. Have you tried Dunkin Donuts coffee? i like that so much better than Starbucks. I don't really ever buy coffee out, I use my travel mug, but if there is DD,try that.

Sally- How is Q feeling today? I am so glad that you had your ipad with you. Sitting in ER's are horrible. I got through these spurts when I wish I had an ipad or Kindle, then I wonder if I would ever use it. Doesn't matter one way or the other, I don't have the money for one hahah! But then I hear of a story like yours and I start to dream again.

You are too funny about selling a kid.
Have fun with your fabric!

Kayleigh- Every day I hope that you are not here.;) YKWIM! Its got to be getting closer, keep telling yourself that. My strange pregnancy/gestation theory is that nature made pregancy just so long and uncomfortable that all you want it that baby to get out, and you don't care how. If you think too hard about L&D say at 5-6 months, you'd never be for it hahahah!

Laurie- good luck with the car, its not fun to have it just sit there. Waiting for insurance adjuster?
Hope that you have a great day, and yes, you must scrap!!

Meg- yay for Riley! Ugh-- sounds like you are feeling really awful. *gentle hugs* I am the same way withthe cat pee and the cleaner. I am now to the point where the cleaner smells like pee to me. I switched over to vinegar for a few days just to get the smells out of my nose. But with a migraine, it must be 1000 times worse. Oh wait... my MIL showed me a new, all natural cleaner she bought and said would fabulously. It was called Bac-Out I think. Green bottle. Have you tried all natural types of cleaners? You probably have but its just a thought.

Linda S- wonderful news about your mom!!!! Is this chemo something she can take at home, or does she have to go back in for IV?

Kayleigh- If I had a dollar for every time a dr told me I had something weird....:rofl:
I know, that's not what you need to hear... but Clara is right, if there was a concern, he would have said so. Try to rest, get your feet up. Don't forget to eat small meals and lots of fluids.
Rub that baby girl belly for me!
 
Good Morning Chris....

Yes...I know....somedays are definately a THREE CUP DAY!! HEHE!!!
YAY on the new cleaning prospect...hope that works out for you!!! and you are such a good daughter....I do things like this for my Mom when I can....well...a lot of what you mentioned...my Dad takes care of...he is up to date in the world of electronics and computers!!

Well......my little Savannah is now climbing on and off the furniture....she managed to get it yesterday and that is what she did all day long...she was so proud of herself.....Chunky babies take a lot longer to master this.....and given all of my babies have been chunky...climbing has never been a huge issue. Connor was in the worst mood I have ever seen in him in yesterday. Mike has seen his terrible demeanor and we were talking about it last night.....I really worry that this child is going to have problems.....I have never seen a two year old to be so irritable/angry/touch me not. I just feel bad for him.

I think we are warming up this weekend to around 40 degrees....YAY...HEAT WAVE!!! and we don't have plans...I think Mike said he may go to the country...so I will probably go over to Mom's and see what needs to be done over there.

Well....I better run....I need to get my shower....

Hope you all have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
ugh woke up this morning and wanted to go back to bed!!! had some crazy dreams last night!! started off me arguing with my sister then running away and then all the sudden i had a little boy and a baby with me while i was running away.....then it turned into me and my 2 sisters in a boat LOL....then me and my sister arguing about cell phones? have no idea where that came from...then me my sisters and my bil were at my moms house and some bad asses showed up and started stealing things...well i called the cops without them knowing....and they all got arrested and that is where i woke up LOL
 
Chris - wooooo!!!! Congrats on the prospect of that cleaning job!!!!! I'm so excited for you, right now it's so huge just to have anything!

Linda - hopefully it's just a phase with that little one :( my youngest brother was like that, he turns 13 in two weeks, and he has ADD and had an awful behavior just like that. Well they put him on meds between the last time we visited OR and them visiting California for Christmas. OH MY!! Such a huge difference. Maybe there's something like that going on in his little body?

Kristy - eeek dreams like that are terrifying!!!! I'm so glad I only dream like once a month!!!!


Well ladies something big is happening for me :) I'm super excited. I've got lots to get done today!!!!!!
 
Well, Chris, I'm sorry to disappoint but I am here lol. I'm looking forward to Monday. I can't wait to have this baby. Luckily the L&D floor has free WiFi so I'll be online as much as I can stand.

I am in a scrapping kind of mood so I think I'll do quite a bit of that today.


I'll check in later when I wake up a little more.
 
Good afternoon everyone!! Last night was strange. Derek had just gotten home and changed when his phone rang and he got a call saying he was supposed to be on an overnight duty and he wasn't there. Apparently he was on a roster that was never sent to him. Not seeing the roster is a bit of a problem, so that issue will hopefully be taken care of so that he doesn't show up late for duty again. It makes him look really bad and he would never show up late like that.

So, this weekend we are supposed to boil all of our water and drink bottled water because a water main broke in town somewhere and they don't know if the water is safe for drinking because if it. I don't think it affected our water because we didn't lose any water or even water pressure but better safe than sorry. This has been a crazy week for the schools, they missed 3 days of school, then were 2 hours late and then today were 2 hours late because of the water main.

I got Ethan enrolled in school yesterday. I was totally stoked that I had all the right paperwork and then they handed me this giant stack of paperwork to fill out. I am praying and praying that this is the right thing for Ethan because I am hating every step. I do not like their procedures and am so glad Ethan is not here to see me getting him enrolled. The principal is...I don't know...but I don't like her much. I am trying to find out who his teacher will be so I can talk to her ahead of time and they want to not tell me who his teacher is until the day he starts school. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous. I have him enrolled enough in advance that I should be able to take him in to meet her ahead of time and if she would prefer to assess him ahead of time and not during class time she can. We'll see what happens. I'll do some harassing next week.

Anyway, I had some stuff to write but I forgot what so on to some personals...

Chris - I have a perfectly good explanation for not drinking coffee...to leave enough coffee for you to drink. I'm just trying to be considerate. Haha!! I actually learned how to use the coffee pot today and to tell you how I function without coffee everyday...well, to be quite honest, not very well. So, on to drinking coffee. Yay for a new job. I hope that works out well for you. Hopefully she's super clean and so it is actually really easy work.

Nana - My kids were not chunky and were major climbers and still are. Man how I wish I had big headed, chunky babies. They catch up but just get moving a little later. But they kept me on my toes that's for sure. I was so not ready for Addie to be walking at 8 months and she and Ethan continue to climb and anything higher than the ground to include doorways. (they take after their mama that way)

Kristy - Whoa!! Crazy dream. I have dreams like that. I always feel so off after waking up after a dream like that.

Meg - Whoohoo!! on big things happening for you!!! I can't wait to hear some details on that.
 
KAYLEIGH!!!!!! Go have your baby!! Okay, I know you want to have the baby more than anyone else. Hopefully some time this weekend. Enjoy your weekend.
 
Hello ladies!

Good news about the house cleaning Chris!! And glad that you get a chance to spend some time with your mom showing her how to download pics. LOL Reminds me of my mom.

Oh Kayleigh, I know that you must be going crazy! I hope that you don't have to wait until Monday.

Oh Nana Linda, 40 degrees? That sounds wonderful! Sydney is a climber...has been since she was 18 months. It does make her a pretty good gymnast however.

Wow that was some bad dream Kristy!

Meg, can't wait to hear more details!!

Oh Clara. I hope that things work out at school. I know how hard this can be. I sure hope that you get to talk to the teacher...that doesn't seem to be an unreasonable request.

Sydney has gymnastics practice tonight, both Sydney and Shaun have basketball tomorrow and then church on Sunday. The only other thing on the schedule is some work...but it is from home so shouldn't be too bad! I feel like I could sleep for days!
