Happy Friday!!!
Thank you for the b-day wishes for Sue F and I! :)
However...I think I gave up on b-day many years ago- I am getting too old to care hahahaah!!! Nah, I like the fuss, and I really could care less about my age. I just wish I didn't look and feel older than I am;)

No big plans today. we were going to go to the lake which is kind of a tradition. But the weather looks nasty, again. yesterday turned out to be gorgeous... just perfect for sitting in a car/drs office.

So yeah, this is how much of a flake I am. I could have sworn that the drs appt was for both kids at 10 am. Turns out it was just for Scott at 9:30. Oy!

He is having another relapse of Bartonella. he had been slacking off on taking his meds regularly. And I am inconsistent with him- some days I make sure I set everything out for him, and others I can barely remember my own stuff. And he is 13. Somedays I feel like he should be able to remember on his own. Then I see that I am 40 (oh- yeah-- 41 LOL) and I have trouble getting it all together.

LindaW- ugh, housework-- It always amazes me how much fatser I clean someone else's house. Then I realize that there aren't any distractions like the computer! Hope you had fun swimming and staying cool!

Sara- whew- good to hear that the water receded. Hope you had a successful shopping trip. FYI- biys and socks... I don't know what it is, but Scott goes through socks like crazy- holes and dirt.... must be a boy thing!

Karen- woo hoo, last day for you! Have a wonderful trip!!!

*pounce* Linda P!!!!!!! We missed you tooo!!!!!!! I hear ya on the rain - that seems to be all we are having here too. No tornados tho thank goodness. Must be so nice to have your family all home :)
And congrats on designing!!! good for you!!!

Andrea- LOL at your avi , now everyone will know you name... *cue Cheers theme song* :)
Glad to hear that you and the girls are feeling better.
Def. email me a lsit -- if there is something I don't have, I can always tryt o get it. I looove doing custom stuff- its so much fun (ask Clara- I did a basket for her SIL and was in heaven! LOL)

Ewwwww Sally Threw up in the gallery!!! heheheh!
Glad your CC was fun- still wish I could be there ;) And you can use more exclamation points- I know I do!
I'll have to see if I can find that book at the library. Scott is now at the age where he doesn't want to be all that motivated this summer. And I don't want him thinking he is going to do nothing but watch tv/video games/computer....

Clara-- was it a coffee day? Hope so! I could never give up coffee. I did when I was pg and it was rough! Hope that you have a nice and relaxing day. And go Relay! I am so proud of you!!!! When you start to get tired, think of me, I'll be cheering you on from NJ!!!!!

Dawn- that Davy! Man, I just love him, he is so cute! They prob don't make baby aspirin in liquid b/c aspirin in now a big no-no for kids. What if you ground up the aspirin with a little juice or water?

Ok my dears, I think I need to get of the computer-- I am hearing thunder. Looks like I might not be going to the beach today after all.

Love you!!!
 
Chris- you are a genius!!!! duh, why didn't I think of that! I could crush his aspirin next time he needs it and put it in something yummy. it's been soooo long since my kids were little I forgot all the little tricks! hahaha
 
Morning!

Chris - I am sorry that it is raining today when you planned on the lake. It just seems like you are having the worse luck with things the last couple weeks. (((hugs))) Hope you find something fun to do on your birthday!

I'm sure people stopped in after I left yesterday, so I'm passing love on to all of you. =) I ended up getting quite a bit done and felt pretty good. But it was hotter than snot.

I have a busy day planned, but I may have to rethink part of the plans. I have to go to the grocery store, take Ben to visit a friend whose baby came early, we were supposed to the summer arts festival, and then I need to make desert to take to the first of the family reunion activities. However, it is dark and cloudy and the radar looks icky. I don't know if we will make it to the festival or not. We'll have to see what the radar is like closer to the 11 a.m.

Well, I should get showering and ready. Have a good day ladies!!
 
Hi ladies!!

I didn't sleep too much last night...as usual...but I swear, I think my body is just getting completely used to it! As time goes on, and I am only sleeping about 4-5 hours a night, I am not really feeling it so much anymore...maybe this is a good thing...clean, errands, kids by day, and computer by night...more time to delgate...I used to be a 9 hours a night person...NO EXCEPTION!! or I totally out of sorts!!

I was very exhausted yesterday...way out of practice with little ones and the pool...Traci came over just before we got out of the pool and got Jesse, and I brought Jaiden and Cameran home with me....It was Jaiden's nap time...so I put her down, and I got on the computer, FELL ASLEEP sitting straight up on the computer....Cameran was playing in the floor...LOL...he said "Nana, did you recognize (that's his word all the time) that you were falling asleep while you were on the computer?"...I said "yes I did, and I am going to lay here on the couch and rest my eyes"...he said "well...Nana you can close one eye, but keep the other one open just a little bit so you can watch me...apparently my mommy thinks I can't watch myself." LOL...I love kids!!

No biggies for me today...definately cleaning and washing....DEFINATELY...It can no longer be put off!!

Chris...hope you have fun at the lake..and HB again!! I totally get the messing up the appointment thing...I used to be terrible about that stuff...I tried to keep it all in my head...(wasn't big enough) Hope his relaspe gets better....Good thoughts for you guys!! ((HUGS))

Dawn...(and Chris) They do make baby aspring in liquid..well they used to just couple of years ago...I know a lady who can not takes pills...she chokes on them...and her doctor had wanted her to take baby asprin for something (don't remember what) so she asked the pharmacist and they ordered it for her...I was surprised!! Might wanna ask!

Clara...the lady with a cause...you are the best...good luck in the relay!! and good for you trying to be healthy and NO coffee..but I could never do it!! Have a great day off!

Sally...I am with Chris..EEEWWW you threw up in the gallery...LOL..you are too funny....I checked out your "UP CHUCK" and Loved them!! You are sooooo totally the kind of neighbor I need here...our neighbors are not all that "neighborly"

Andrea...glad you and the girls are feeling better!! and good idea on the AVI!!

Karen...yay for your trip...we will want all the details when you get back!!

Sara...whew....I got tired reading your "to do" list for today!! Good luck!! and I think socks are a common errand for mothers who have boys!! My DD's are ALWAYS buying socks for those boys!!

LindaP...Hi there...I have been hearing about these other Lindas...nice to meet you! sounds wonderful about your designing!! Congrats!!

ONA...We miss You!!

Hi to ME TALI Jos, Kelly Kat and everyone else!!!! Better get started on the work...ughhh...
 
It's Friday! Had to check just to make sure! Once I get myself in "summer mode" I have to check to see what day it is:) Looks like rain again today:( Hopefully just some scattered showers then it will dry out. The lawn, of course, needs to be mowed, again! I've got laundry started - I can tell the kids are home! We need to clean the leftovers out of the fridge and figure out meals for the weekend. We are working our way through Jenna's favorite meals. She's really missed home cooking while at college.
I think weekend plans will revolve around a little town celebration up the road. Mr. Wonderful works in the mining industry, one of the quarries that he works with is located in this town. They have an annual celebration called "quarry days". I'm guessing that we will be spending part of the weekend there. I think the girls will nearly all have babysitting jobs with some of our friends.

Chris - I hope the day at the lake works out for you. We have yet to tow our boat to the lake this summer. Too much rain!

Dawn - I'm out of the loop - what's wrong with Davy that he needs aspirin? I'm really not up on my veterinarian medicine:)

Sara - I'm afraid that I have the same weather here :( Have a great day!

LindaW - nice to meet you as well, there are a lot of us here it seems. Popular name.

Andrea - hope things are going better for you!

I guess I'm out of here for a while, have a wonderful day!
 
Quick stop from me to wish my dear friend Chris...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo (((hugs))))

Dawn - *waves* & ((Hugs))

Sara - I hope the radar is wrong...and you can make the festival!!! Enjoy you r fab day sounds lovely!!!

LindaW - Oh my word I soooo needed that story - Cameran totally cracked me up!!! That was the cutest!!! ((hugs))

LindaP - Ohhhh what kind of yummy meals are you making??? ;)

Things here are still topsy turvy for now...just waiting for Nick to heal :) We are just both waiting to bust loose and go out somewhere - anywhere :) They delayed his get out of free jail card a few days....hopefully by Monday! Have a fabulous weekend ladies!!!
 
Oh girls. I'm pooped and we're only half-way through the day.:p The good thing is, I got most of the groceries (just forgot one thing), held the adorable little baby boy, went to lunch with my aunt and we went to the festival for a while. It stopped raining, but it is ungodly muggy and hot. And when the sun did break through the clouds it was practically unbearable. Ben crashed in the car on the way home but woke up crying and kept crying for about 15 minutes. I think he was just hot and overloaded. He's fine now. I have to work up the energy to make Strawberry Trifle and get ready to go to the in-laws for the family reunion evening. Hopefully, there's enough to play with inside tonight. I'm not really looking forward to the evening as my SIL is a first class witch with a B. And my MIL seems to be betting crankier and crankier...even my husband said, "I don't think she likes ANYONE anymore...not just you." :p So..I'm making sure the iPod is fully charged so I can surf the gallery while sitting and watching my child play. And of course I'm making sure the margaritas will be plenty!! Ok. Well.....I better get whipping and cutting. I'll talk to you all later!!
 
I have to work up the energy to make Strawberry Trifle

Sara you so had me at Strawberry!!!!!! This is such a yummy dessert...wish I lived closer
:) Oh sweetie I hear you about bracing yourself for a family IL visit...hit those Magaritas and surf away!!! I hope it turns into a good night :)
 
Happy Birthday, Chris and Sue!

I'm really sorry I've been MIA... this job is kicking my butt physically and emotionally... after work yesterday I cried and cried... this one lady I talked with couldn't pay her bill, and her story broke my heart, and I've come to realize I can't do this job... I can't continually ask these people for money and hear their stories and still tell them they have to pay their bill or we'll have to garnish what little bit of wages they get... I couldn't even go in today although a big part of the reason is I'm sick...

yesterday, I called my old boss at my old job with the hospital business office, and asked if they have any positions open.. she has a casual position which is technically 25 hours, but I can work 40 if I want and actually get the job... with full-time positions opening up in the next 6 months... I interview on Monday morning at 9... at this position I will only work with insurances... I know that to be more financially stable, I have to work... I've accepted that and am actually okay with it at this point... but I have my limits and I can NOT be a debt collector.

Gabe had the day off today, but ended up in the doctor with an ear infection and a very red throat... luckily he's getting antibiotics so there'll be no developing strep. He's getting his prescription now... I've been in bed this afternoon and the headache I had all day is finally gone, thank goodness.

hope everyone had a great day!
 
Hi ladies, just a drive by. Finally feeling 100% today (actually about 110%, I feel great!) and I have... ahem.. a little bit of housework to catch up with. Hee hee! But I wanted to tell you all that I got my package from Chris today and all I have to say is YUM!!! You guys, the Lyme in the Coconut lotion and shower gel smell so yummy! It's a nice clean scent, very very summery! MMMM!

I'm baking brownies and cooking some bacon to package up in the fridge for sandiwiches later. Or maybe I'll just make a bacon and brownie sandwich! What do you think of that?

Sandra - I used to work as a receptionist for a law firm that did foreclosures. This was before the recession, but still.. it was horrible. I feel for you girl. Here's praying you get that hospital job!

Sara - I'm doing the MIL thing in about a month. AGH! Enjoy that margarita!

Kat - here's to a smooth weekend and fully operational Nick on MOnday!

LindaP - Hope your weekend celebration is awesome!

Linda - Cameran sounds like a real hoot! "Did you recognize.." Ahhhahahaaa! That's so funny!

Chris - Hope your birthday was incredible!

I'm out of here. Atha is freaking out because we are supposed to redo her bedroom this weekend, and I won't spring to my feet and do her bidding immediately... sigh... 4 year olds!!
 
MrsB....hahahahaaha
bacon and brownie sandwich! What do you think of that?
....ummm....not so much...*LOL* Seperate you had me!!! Gosh I must be hungry I am drooling all over everyone's food posts!!! Have fun redecorating :)
 
Chris!!!!!!! girlfriend, my sweet, precious friend! How did I miss this morning that it was your birthday?! Smack me with a wet noodle!

{{{hugs}}} I hope you had a fab birthday!

Sandra-I'm happy for you, that's one job I couldn't do either, I would imagine it takes a certain type of person, certainly not one with a heart like you :).

Matter of fact I had one try to ruin my day yesterday, LOL. I gave her quite a hard time and she ended up calling ME rude hahaha. I mean, if these places can't understand the hardship everyone is facing right now...grrr...at least for the ones who ARE trying to pay but maybe not able to pay as much as they had been. Me, for instance, I am a little behind on my car right now, but will be caught up within the next month. I worked out an arrangement with a nice man named Juan a couple of weeks ago. You know how they always tell you they are going to 'record the calls for quality assurance'....well this lady said the arrangement I had with Juan wasn't satisfactory. Ok, how's that?! Sheesh, she said you have to send another $137.xx right now. blahblahblah. I was on my way into work this was yesterday. I told her I had to go clock in, she would barely let me talk. I said 'just come get the car' she said ' where is it' 'i said in he** with me' LOL, that's when she called me rude. hahahaha. I told her I had to clock in for work or I'd be late and I'd be in trouble at work which certainly wouldn't help my paycheck. I ended up hanging up on her. I called her back when i had a chance. I then talked to her 'supervisor', she was nicer...I got the 'recording' speil again...I told her 'that's fine I'm recording you also so I can take it to court when you renig on any verbal agreement we may come to during this call like the last one I made with Juan'. LOL. She just said then that I needed to be sure and get caught up ASAP and that 'collection calls would continue until I do' I said 'that's fine I just won't answer them, I'm going to stick to the previous agreement I made with Juan'. Perhaps not a good way to handle it but this bank is horrible. Since I divorced and remarried my DH we keep money issues separate and I will not let him help me no matter what...soooo..I'd walk first...sheesh, sorry for the long rant!

Kat-I'm not even sure what you're talking about, but, I love bacon, and OMGosh ...brownies!!!!!! count me in, when and where!?! LOL

LindaP-Hiya! Oh, Davy's good, he had one of his little bunny colds, he's already getting better :). thank you for asking!

LindaW-Thank you for the aspirin info, I'll check at my pharmacy! LOL at you sitting up sleeping at your puter :). Too cute about your grandkids!

Sara-strawberry anything is yummy! mmmmm, strawberry margaritas sounds pretty yummy right about now ;)

Well ladies, I'm off to scrap a little! I hope everyone has a nice evening!
love and hugs and happy scrapping!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
 
Dawn - Yikes!!!! Everything is soo sooo crazy right now :( ((((hugs)))) The banks and Credit cards are doing so many shady deals to make money it's not even funny. They didn't come get the car right? I hope not.
