The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Gah! it is out last full week of summer here. I cannot get over how fast it all went. I am slowly working towards getting everyone organized for back to school routines. Sad to say, it typically only lasts a short time, But I really need to make it stick! Next year my kids will be in Middle School and in HS and that will crank things up big time.

Gotta take a deep breath- its all good! I am working on having a good positive attitude again. It had really slipped a lot and I totally notice a difference. Even if I have to fake it, it makes a huge difference.

I posted yesterday: Home organizing/Fly Lady Support Group?
I am thrilled a bunch of you are going to come along for the ride (flight? LOL)

I am going to start a new thread for this week and I hope you can all share and/or cheer us on!

Me Me Monday:
must.paint.chipped.toenails. ;)
 
Personals:

since I am most important (lol) I should go first!

I have to tell you how I have the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sleeping Bags here! Cait left for the science center w/ friends at 9:30 on Sat. She and her 2 friends came back for dinner and a sleepover. Scott had a friend come over for dinner/sleep too.

At 12 on Sunday, one of the girls mom's picked the 3 of them up and brought them over to the other girl's house. At 4 pm I get a call from Cait, Can she sleep over at yet another friend's house? She came home at 6, had dinner and then she was off to her other friends house.
Scott and his friends were in and out of the house all day too. My goodness! The social lives these kids have LOLOL!

Today is food shopping, picking up Caitlyn and then off to the beach- we finally have a nice day!

Hi Dawn! ((((((tickles))))) hee hee! I thought tickles might help you out of your funk better than hugs. If not, then hug too~~~~~
I love/hate zoos, you know me ,that have to be natural habitat type for me to like them. However, I looove seeing all of the animals. Hope that the zoo and the FL trip help to cheer you up.
Oh and yeah, the weather didn't quite make it- and the reunion was canceled. Bummer. :(

Sandra- I am so hoping that the new meds help. Anger in no fun to deal with - you know we have gone thought/going through that with Scott and Lyme rages. The worst part of that is that they truly can't understand why and how to control it.
Good luck with all of the school stuff for Matthew and Piper!

Andrea- Oh my goodness...how scary for that family. Lots of good thoughts for that girl that she kills all those MRSA buggers!

Linda W- I hear ya on the new furniture and paint- almost all of our furniture is second hand, and what was new the freaking dogs/cats have scratched up. I repainted my LR and Bathroom last fall and already there are claw marks scratch in from them jumping up to the windows. And nope, won't declaw, in case you were wondering ;) LOL)
I still need to paint my little bathroom- I started it when I was 8 months pg with Caitlyn and put myself into pre-term labor. Never finished it.....11 years later Hahah!

ITA- Bleach and antibiotics kill everything, including septic tanks!

Linda S- what a fab last weekend!! How funny of Shaun LOL- But how awesome to see all of the babies there. Hope that you got a good night's sleep.

To everyone else- xoxxoxo

Me Me Monday- what are you going to do for yourself today?
 
Good morning. I'll fly by this morning...I may need to take a look at your Fly Lady thread Chris...and then come back tonight for personals.

Have a great Monday all!
 
OH MY GOSH!!! I am a blubbering ball of nerves!!!

So we went to see the little man off on the bus....uuuhhhmmm yeah....I cried worse than when I put his mother on the bus the first time!! Gosh...I am tearing up now just talking/writing about it!! Ok Enough...I need to move on....

I need to tell the list of accomplishments of my little grandchildren lately or very upcoming.... of course..already mentioned...Cameran started Kindergarten today.....Jaiden turned the big "one" last week....Savannah Grace will be making her big entrance next week...and ~~~drum roll~~~ JESSE IS NOW FULLY POTTY TRAINED!!! I am so proud:p

Big month for us!! hehehe!!

I really am proud of Jesse and his Mommy....she started as soon as he turned two and he has been so resistant...but she finally got down to business with him about a month ago...and she really has worked hard...he will be 3 in November...so I think he has done very well!!

Do you guys just get sick of me rambling on about my grandbabies??? I am sorry....

Ok...so besides the little ones...DH is home this week...yes...again....he gets a total of 8 weeks off....we have a couple of small projects for here this week...nothing big...mostly just cleaning out! GOOD TIME FOR ME TO GET IN THE FlyLady/Organizing group with you Chris!!

That's it for me....I gotta get in the shower...DH has Dr appt...and I have to go with him...or he probably wouldn't go!! MEN!!!

Have a fabulous day!!

P.S. Sara...I hope you didn't get too mad at me for "encouraging you" to get Ben his airplane!! I was teasing you!! and it just takes me back to when my girls were little...and now with my GBs I just go get it for them....shame on me....but that is definately the joy of being a grandma!! I love that you scrapped a page about it!!
 
Chris....LOL about your kids and their social lives....and I am ready for Organization...so bring it on!!! and too funny about your toenails....mine too!! I am the worlds worst for just painting over the old chipped paint!! If I was better to myself...I would go get a pedicure!!:)

LindaS...~~~Waving~~~ HI!!
 
Hey ladies!
Woke up finally feeling pretty good this morning! No nausea, no debilitating fatigue. I guess my hormones are getting back in shape. So that's good. We have a busy day today, I have to take Genny to daycare for the first time and then take Atha to her PreK orientation day! Yay! She starts school tomorrow. She was so beside herself last night that she couldn't sleep. I had to spin some stuff about, "big school girls sleep all night in their own beds," etc. She finally fell asleep and so did I, but not before I read through 20 pages of part one of my reading for my Issues in Contemporary Education class that starts next week. I am taking two classes to start, that one and another one that is just about study habits and an intro to online education. But anyway, in the education class, we have four parts to our first week's reading, and HALF of the first part was 20 pages. Holy toledo. But I'll establish a rhythm and get it right. And I've got a head start so that's good.

Okay, I'm blathering on!

Linda!- Go Jesse!! Good job! I've been trying to get Genny interested, but with her sensory integration issues, she just doesn't get it. Oh well, patience, patience!

Chris-Sisterhood of the Travelling sleeping bags. *Snort*

Okay, I'm off to errands!
 
Morning, girlies!! If you are my fb friend, you know i'm not feeling so hot today! I usually don't post if I'm a bit down...just cause I hate being down, but today, I just had to post that i have a nasty COLD!! UGH!!! I'm really hacked about it!! Luckily, all the major things I have to accomplish this week are all online! yay!! I may not make it to lessons today for the kids...still evaluating that! This sinus headache is making my teeth hurt! I hate it when it gets that bad!! Guess it's time for Tylenol...I usually have to whine for hours before I take anything...it's just me! Sorry for whining!! :)

I'm getting close to my posting goal for this month, so to help myself out, I'm posting responses individually!! :)

and to everyone else that may drop in before they go to bed........have a great day tomorrow girls!!!! xoxo
 
Linda W...I promise I won't get tired of hearing stories about your grandbabies if you don't tire of hearing stories about my kids and an occasional niece or nephew. :-) Like you, I adore my family!

Ona...sounds like awful temps! We are heading into cool weather here. Coolest summer I ever remember here.
 
Hi lovely ladies!

LindaW-awwwwww! We love hearing about your gbs :). Sorry about your sadness but that's to be expected! Woohoo about Jesse's potty training!!!

LindaS-HIya!!!!

Sara-LOL about the airplane, I'll have to see what that's all about, I am soooo behind!

Chris-IKWYM about the zoo..the St Louis zoo is pretty good about keeping it as natural as they can and at least where the animals are they aren't getting poached...so I guess there's a bright side :). Dang it why can't kids stay young forever?!

Sally- I'm sorry you are sick :(. This is the first time I have ever, I mean EVER known you to complain, you deserve a little whining now and again :). Goodness knows I do enough of it LOL, I am the type to kinda let it all out hahaha. I hope tomorrow finds you feeling better!

Ona-Woowhee, sounds like you are boiling downunder! It's actually been cool here in Ky the past wk...60s (F) at night-80s during the day, absolutely wonderful :).

Good luck to all of you who are doing FlyLady :).

Well, I'm off to lullabye land, still catching up from the weekend!
