TGIFTGIF!!!!!

oh my goodness, I had another insano-day.
I was halfway down to my MIL's when it started to rain. I kept on going, figuring I could just do her yard work inthe rain. No sooner do I get to her house and pour a cup of coffee, when Gary calls. He had just gotten off the phone with... drum roll....

You guessed it... Scott's school. More troubles. Even though it was drizzling, I had a fun time outside digging up the crabgrass with the rake. I was slamming the ground getting all of my anger out. "I'm gonna kill this kid" yank goes another clump of crabgrass. "I am going to wring his neck" more dead crabgrass. "What was he *thinking*??" Some rocks and dirt went flying....
You should try it, it is very effective. ;)

I left my MIL's early so I could get home, talk to Gary and be a united front when he got home from school. Thank goodness Ihave such an understanding "boss."

The school had worked out most of their issues at school and we were able to get some accomplished here. We need to have a mtg sometime next week with Guidance/Dean of Students and some of his teachers to ... I don't even know... get on the same page? Discuss his attitude? Find another way to get him to remember to get his darn agenda signed?

Last week I called a counseling center to set up sessions with a cognitive therapist. I had the "intake" info on him done and it takes a few weeks to get a therapist assigned to his case and then we will be able to get some sessions set up. We are hoping that he will be able to learn some techniques to help him deal with his anger and to help his behavior. Something has to give and it cannot be me.

And....to top off yet another lovely day in paradise... I got called for Jury duty-- three days at the end of October-- UGH!!!

I can't imagine that I will get excused on an "insanity hardship." LOL

Today I have a bunch of housecleaning and errands....my stomach has been very nauseous since after dinner last night, I hope it goes away soon!

Gotta get going, but will be back for personals.
Thanks for letting me vent yet again about Scott!
 
Oh Chris...((hugs)) I wish we could just sit down together over a nice cup of coffee and relax and chat!

But, it is Friday! And I join Chris in the TGIF dance!! Long day ahead. Huge planning meeting today at work! Will be more than exhausting I fear. Anyway, I've got scrapping on my agenda for today! As a matter of fact, I'm thinking that maybe tonight would be a fun night to spend some time in the chat room! Anyone up for that?

Talk to all of you later.
 
I am back- just had a small bowl of cereal, and my stomach is still not happy :(
The 2 things I would recommend- peppermint tea and ginger tea and no good for me, they both make me even more nauseous. I looove fresh ginger in Chinese food, but somehow I don't think that is a good choice ATM!

Kathyrn- between you and Ona and I am going to be super time zone challenged :p Since you are new to the Ooo's- let me warn you right off the bat, to never go by my days and dates. I have been better recently (on my best behavior LOL) but I typically screw up the dates more often than not. Add in time zone differences, and I get things very wonky LOL
(And don't listen to Clara, the world revolves around EST... *not* PST as she would have you think... :D)

Linda S-- can I blame you for jinxing my day? hahahaha! No sun and not good for Scott. But today is another day and the sun is shining and my son is still alive. I am sooo excited for you to be in Coz- 4 weeks- oh you are going to have soo much fun!!!!!! Tee hee about the Customs lines....

Sally! I am so in with Grat. Blogging with you!!!!! When are you starting?? I need this!!!!! I really really do!!!

Dawn- LOL that you walk in circles too- the sad thing for me is that I made a shopping list in Excel where the categories are in the order of the aisles, all I have to do is godown the list in order.
Yay for Dh bonding with Davy- I mean, how could he not? I have bonded with him/her and I have never even seen him/her!
thx for your prayers!

Lori- wow!! That is just nutty about no talking in the caf. That is usually the one time that the kids *can* relax a bit. I know that there should be rules- like no throwing food or yelling, but no talking???
Hope you got to read today- what book are you reading?

ME- ooooh how was Fringe??? No spoilers, we DVR'd it and are going to watch tonight- I can't wait!!!!!! We watched Bones (yeah!!) but taped Fringe- and even just the commercials for it had me going :D

Clara- oh no, that so bites about your camera :( I hope that you can get it taken care of...
The Miley concert sounds like so much fun- you are raising a sweet little gentleman!!!

Ona- thx for the Jackie clarification- I am going to check out your friend;s gallery in a bit. Hope she joins us here in the Ooo's!

Gotta run!
Have a fab and wonderful day!
 
Hi girls...

I am popping in for a minute....I am feeling way under the weather...usually when the onset of fall comes, I have slight allergy issues...nothing too big, but last year it was fluid in my ears, did not realize what it was for weeks...and I was miserable...finally got a zpac and cleared it right up...so when my ear started up the other day, I knew...so I asked the pharmacist what to take OTC and she suggested Sudafed....MISTAKE!!! I think I am having allergic reaction....I took two Wed morning and by lunch time I was in such a fog, I didn't hardly know what was going on around me...and it didn't wear off until yesterday morning...and I decided that two was just too much...so I took one tablet every 6 hours...and I still feel like a truck ran over me...and can barely think straight...plus I am seeing red splotches on my skin now....Guess I am going to the DR for some Zpac. Hope everyone is well...and pardon me for being scarce...I love you all!! (((HUGS)))
 
Happy Friday!!

Hope today is finding everyone happy and well :). Oh, LindaW, sorry you are under the weather, hope you get to feeling better soon!!! ((((hugs))))

Chris, hope today is a much better day for you! Vent away anytime, goodness knows I do more than my share ;).

LindaS-I may be going out with my girlfriends but if not I'm definitely in for chatting, I'll know later today, the single girls all have to figure out if Fri or Sat is going to be the better night LOL. Have a great day!!

Everyone who stops in hope your day is as awesome as you are :)!
 
Hi Everyone!!
I am happy for Friday too. We take my youngest Molly to the library for storytime and stock up on books for the week. I love it. I finished my book Lisey's Story by Stephen King yesterday. I loved it and I am ready to devour another.

Lori Fact: I am a Stephen King fanatic. This is gonna sound crazy but I dont think I have read a book by another author in about 10 years unless it was an assignment. I am just giving in as a fanatic and not denying it anymore. :p
I am trying to read all of his novels and short stories and then I will start on his recommended reading list.

Ok girls off to personals!!
 
Chris- i love rain but sorry u had to work in it. And what a bummer about Scott I hope he gets it straight and I am so happy u are understanding about his issues and looking to help him. I am not sure how old he is but I know once they get into the teen stage and act up it is so important to stick by them. Sounds like u mean to stand your ground and I hope improvement shows. Good Luck!!


Linda- I hope u get your scrappy time and I think I am down to chat. What time? I have a little homework to do. I scrapped last night and will upload in a bit.

LindaW: I hoe the allergies pass quick. I just got done with my bout. And it sucked. I got real bad right towards the end and I hope it does not come back. What ever u do dont combine albuterol and dayquil that willl amp you up for awhile. That happened to me the other day snd I felt soooooo bad!

Hi Dawn!!!
 
Clara sorry to hear about you camera. Sometimes I think I lose mine and my heart skips a beat. I need to stay consistent with my workouts.Maybe we should check in with one another.

oooh, I loooove Stephen King! I only wish he would write faster LOL, j/k :).
 
Woohoo! I can chat tonight! Just let me know when :). I think I'm gonna drag DH to a movie this afternoon...trying to decide between Jennifer's Body and Sorority Row...I'm a horror freak in case y'all haven't figured that out yet :). Jennifer's Body looks kinda weird/funny so I'm leaning towards SR. Either way he'll probably sleep through it haha. He took off work today *sick* haha, he needs to go get his eyes checked so that's his excuse. He's diabetic and his eyes are getting worse and worse.

So, today's my last official day of vacay...unless you count the weekend which I don't since those are always my days off haha.

Sooo, I'll 'see' y'all in chat tonight I hope :).
 
Hi ladies,

Another wet and soggy day here, but it's Friday. Yay! Hope you all have a great weekend. I am hoping to scrap and do some reading. I am way into my Sookie Stackhouse books now.

Chris - would you believe I crashed on the couch at like 8 pm so I slept through Fringe. We tivo'ed it so it's on my agenda for tonight! Hugs to you, sweetie!

Linda W - hope you are feeling better today.

Dawn - enjoy your last day of vacation!!

Hi Lori!

Clara - I am so so sorry to hear about your camera, my friend!

Love to you all!
 
Hey everybody. I don't think I was here yesterday, I was busy doing a school thang. But hey, check it out! On my blog here http://boyerville3.spaces.live.com/ I've posted a Video "shout Out" from Afghanistan, and my hubby is there saying hi to me at about minute 1:18! YAY! If you would like to see him speaking with a very hoarse southern accent for some reason (He's from Pennsylvania, I have no idea where that accent came from) then go ahead and give it a look!

I'll be back later to actually check in.
 
Hey girlies!!! Just finished a lecture (well, two kinda) with Cora about the Byzantine Era and Medieval poetry analysis!! :) Be sure and ask her lots of questions about Justinian I and courtly love poetry...etc!!! LOL!!!! (she's now doing her chemistry, so you can ask her about that, too!! LOL!!!)

My workshop was a hit last night!! We didn't have as many as I thought which was a blessing, but we still had four very fun projects. I hope to take some pics and upload them some time! I'm placing my last order tonight as a demo...*sigh* but it's okay. God has given me such a peace about this situation. It's definitely one of my gratitudes today!! LOL!! :)

So we've decided to take some financial action in our house to combat the craziness that is our checking account!! LOL!! I know it's not really the best thing to talk about money outloud, but I'm just being real...needing some support and accountability!! The funny thing is that the timing of the SU! demo stuff is perfect! I have been spending too much trying to "keep up with my own mental joneses" as per the crafting world, and when I was faced with the question, "how many more stamps do you need?" I easily answered, "none, thank you!!" (of course, it's nice to know that I have a digital world that I can live in without causing any financial strife whatsoever!! LOL!!!!) But for me, it all comes back down to gratitude!! So I'll be coming back to you girlies letting you know how I'm doing with it all. Thanks for being there!!!

So I'm hoping to start our gratitude challenge this next Monday!!! It'll go from September 21st to October 30. I probably will need to continue it after that, but it's important for me to eat the elephant one bite at a time!! heehee!!! I will probably get a forum up and going again where we can post what we are grateful for and/or links to our blogs to show off our art journaling!! This is one of the most cathartic things I've done!!! art journaling everyday will be a wonderful way to keep from longing for a pedicure or a gluttonous trip to Target!! TEEHEE!!!!! :)

Soooooooo, enough about me!!!! It's time for the About You part!! :)
 
Andrea!! How cool is that??? My kids were watching with me!! soo awesome!! You (and Vince) are my hero!!! :) i won't complain about Mr Gorgeous going to CA anymore!! I promise!! :) enjoy your school free weekend!!!
 
ohhh Dawn, enjoy your horror flicks!! I'm not a horror person at all!!! I had to watch the proverbial Friday the 13th when i was in HS, so I watched it with a group and told them to tell me when someone was gonna get killed so i wouldn't be shocked!! LOL!!! So you watch with my eyes, too, babe!! :) hugs!!!! enjoy the last few days of your VACAY!!!
 
Clara, you crack me up!! :) My body is perpetually on PST, I'm convinced...Mr Gorgeous said if we moved to the PNW, I'd still get up at 9am PST...I'm not so sure!! :) LOL!!!! Maybe i'm really on Hawaiian time!! :) heehee!! hope your day is smashing!! :)
 
Lori, Ohhhh how fun with story time!!! I'm a bad library patron...I'm never getting books back on time. So I tend to buy most of my books. That's probably going to change, and I'm probably going to have to grow up and take responsibility for my kids' crazy book actions!! LOL!!! hope your weekend has started out wonderfully with your sweet fam!!
 
ohhh Linda!!! You take care, hun!! I can't take sudafed because it makes my heart race!! But I know that ZPac will knock it right out for ya!! hugs, babe!!!
 
Linda, my sweet, I sure wish i could chat on this puter!!! It's still got that java issue with my security program. Just annoying that i can't chat here!! I'll get my brother to tell me how to fix it soon!! :) you have sooo much FUN, girlie!! and think of me singing to ya!! :)
 
chris, chris, chris...extra boy hugs for ya!!! My son right now is driving me crazy, too...i can't get him to settle down and actually do school this week. Honestly!! right now he's messing around with Lillian who I just got going on her math!! UGH!!! ohhhh, that's right..i was supposed to encourage you!! oops!! :) heehee!! you are doing great, momma!! and thank GOD for yardwork, huh?? LOL!!! love ya, chica!!

hey all... I'm popping in again LOL... I'm so glad today is Friday! It was a long week... Gabe and I are having some issues, plus I struggled with going to my aunt's memorial (she was cremated)... I'm glad I didn't go... mom said it was over in about 15 mins... so I would have driven 1.5 hours each way for a 15 min service... so I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend... still trying to get all my stuff in at ScrapWow so need to finish that this weekend...

Tomorrow is College Football Game Day - UK and UofL... so definitely can't miss that... but will be happy to watch from home and fighting the crowds at the stadium... so that's about it from me...
 
So sorry. No chatting here tonight. Miss Sydney has been throwing up since about 5 pm. We went to OTB for supper when I got home and she just wasn't herself. Before we got our guacamole live she needed to go to the bathroom and since then, it's been pretty much non-stop. She's asleep for the moment so I slipped downstairs to provide an update. So sorry that I can't chat tonight. But we'll do it really soon...I promise.
 
Okay...pray for me...BRT (Brazos River Turnaround) has our first gig tonight at our church coffeehouse!! I'm really really really really really excited about it!! and LOOK!! I"m not going out to buy a new outfit for it!! ahahahahahahhah!! :) love you all dearly!!!
