Daily Ooo's Monday Feb 23

[faerywings]

Just another Manic Monday Oooo o oh ohhh!
Wish it was Sunday......
That's my scrap day oh ooh ohhh
And I didn't do crap that day......

*giggles*
I got next to nothing done this weekend. Work wise, house wise, head wise.... I need another day to get stuff done!

Although I might have more of a chance while the kids are at school rather than at home. But i have noticed that now my *dogs* know when I want to sit down to get work done. As soon as I sit and get settled at my desk, they come whining to me. They have to go out, they need water, they bark at a squirrel..... just like kids LOL!

But it is Monday today- the last week of the month! And a new day to get my schedule worked out and get some work done in peace, maybe. Gary has lost interest in the wood working and is now back into the guitar/music writing/mixing etc. So it gets *real* loud in the house. Thank goodness for my trusty earplugs!

I caught up with most of you over the weekend, but I missed a few.

Clara- congrats on your new CT!
I wish I could send the sleepiness to you hon. I never used to be a big sleeper- always had insomnia, always restless. Now I can sleep all that time and still wake up just as tired, so I feel like I am losing time for nothing. I just want to wake uo one day refreshed and recharged.
Does anyone ever feel that way though? Or is it just another myth, like catching a cold from wet hair?

LindaP Glad that you got home safe and sound! And LOL at dancing with the college kids -- cute!

Gah, Dawn, my dh does that to me too! he'll just call me to tell me random things *shakes head* the whole point of going out with the girls is to get away from the men ROTF!

I am off-- gotta get the kids to school and then to the grocery store (me, not the kids). Is it just me or is grocery shopping getting depressing? Everything is just so dang expensive!


Have a great and fantastic Monday!

good morning... I'm very tired and bleary-eyed this morning... I don't know why I bother sleeping because it doesn't seem to help... on top of that I'm still on the outs with my mom and sister and haven't spoken to them since Saturday... I just tried sending my sister an IM about the G-tube they want to insert for Daddy this week and she won't answer... this was on the table last week, but that was before he had emergency surgery... it can be a temporary thing and it would get the feeding tube out of his nose which he's pulled out 3 times...

Not much going on today... I'll be going back to the hospital later this morning... I want to spend as much time with Daddy as I can... if he doesn't respond to these antibiotics, I'm not sure that there's any options left... we did get some good news about Gabe's grandma though... she got through open-heart surgery fine, they were able to repair her aorta after the aneurysm, and she was doing well when I checked on her yesterday...

Chris - lately I know what you mean about the sleeping... good luck getting stuff done today!

hope everyone has a great Monday!

O-no it's Monday again?! I feel like I just got home from work Friday, well I did have a full weekend, I scrapped 6 layouts yesterday. One designer I CT for has 6 products coming out this week and I like them all so of course I have to create a layout for each . Tough job but someone's gotta do it..teehee.

Chris-I KWYM about grocery shopping it's at least twice as much as it was 6 months ago each time I go. I hope your pups give you some peace and quiet today!

Sandra-I am so sorry you are going through this, it's hard enough dealing with your dad in the hosp but having problems with your mom and sis that's too much. I wish I had some advice for you other than prayer but in the end that's the best, that and leaning on the ones close to you. I'm praying for you and I know lots of others are as well, love you girl.

Everyone, hope you have as wonderful a Monday as you can!
Hugs to all .

 

[snappy2003]

I have just one more thing to say before I go...........waaaaaahhhhhh I wanna stay home and scrap!!!! Please don't make me go!

Chris....I sooo laughed at the Manic Monday and now can't get that song out of my head!

Today is definitely a Manic Monday...have soooooo much to do! Not enough hours!
Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Good morning!!

Today is a good day. I have my coffee am playing on the computer and have no kids for the day. I was afraid I was getting sick and thought Addie was going to be sick but we both woke up healthy and ready to go this morning. So that makes for a good day. Plus I got my 8 hours of sleep which makes me feel all happy too.

I have been texting my sister all morning and she's not having a good day. Poor girl. She went to Ft. Lauderdale to see a boy and they just have different ideas of how relationships go. So she's coming home a little heartbroken. Poor girl.

So 3 kids to myself this weekend was a bit rough. The boys were arguing non-stop. Plus Cristian is not used to a little girl. he has 2 little brothers at his dad's house but apparently they know better at almost 2 and infancy than Addie does and she is just a horrible brat as far as he's concerned. I think it is funny. Addie is so strong willed and often defiant and I don't mind so much. I know it will make her hard toraise often but I am sure it will also be a part of her character and I think it can show itself in great ways as a teenager and adult. Not that I am swayed by the opinion of a 6 year old, I just thinki t is funny listening to him. He bosses her around like crazy. He is telling her what to do non-stop which makes me crazy. Things are getting better though. Just the arguing makes me crazy.

I joined facebook last night (as most of you probably noticed) and I am already addicted to the stupid thing. But I have gotten back in contact with a handful of people that I have wanted to talk to for years. It is amazing how a silly computer program makes the world so much smaller. I have a myspace account but it isn't anything like it. Crazy. I do like the extra stalking features facebook has. lol!!

So...

Chris - I love that song. I remember singing it in elementary school. At least I think that's when I remember it from. I love it though. Good luck getting your schedule back on track. I also hate grocery shopping but for a different reason. I am the worst shopper ever and it always takes me forever to shop. I end up going all around the store at least twice which really sucks at Walmart because it is freaking huge. I'm almost okay if I stick to grocery shopping, then twice around the store isn't too bad, although it usually ends up being 3 times. This is even with a list. Horrible. Costco is the only place I can do in one circle of the store.

Sandra - that really sucks about your mom and sister. I don't know if this is the case or not or if it even helps but I know when I am upset about anything it always comes out as me being mad at my husband. Even if what I am upset about has nothing to do with him. Maybe that is what is going on. They are upset and hurting and it is coming out at you. I know that doesn't make it right, fair or easier for you but maybe it could help it not to be so personal. Just a thought. More hugs for you.

Dawn - 6 LOs? Wow! I am truly impressed. You go girl!!

To everyone else...have a great Monday.

afternoon, my chica fam!!!

I am uploading my tutorial for tomorrow's trendy tuesday feature on my blog...i did a video!!! wow!!! now you guys can see me stamping in action!! scary, scary!! LOL!!! cora took the video, so you can hear her talking too!! AND we did it at last Thursday night's stamp club meeting, so you can hear other girlies talking, too!!

Next Monday, my baby turns 7. I can't even imagine how that is!! I'm really glad we can't see how fast time is passing...i'm liking this gradual thing! heehee...but have you gone back and looked at your kids' older scrapbooks? Omgosh...this is too fast!! and for chris to say that this is the last week of Feb????? HHB!! I can't believe it!! or as Quincy says on Little Einsteins, "I can not believe it!!!" (can you tell Lil is having a Little Einstein's party??? LOL!!)

This is a busy week for me. I am playing a gig (concert) at my mom's church Tuesday and Friday. Tomorrow we are going on another field trip to Houston's Heritage Society. Should be really fun, fun!!! And Sat is Lil's party, Sunday another gymnastics meet for Quentin, and church (not in that order...heehee). I've got my oxygen on!! and my scrapping on, too!!

I'm loving you all...

sandra...extra hugs, doll...no matter what, we are here for ya!!

It does not sound like I am the only one who was not ready for it to be Monday already! Mr. Wonderful did an overhaul on his truck all weekend. So I played parts runner on Saturday and Sunday. I'm glad that little project is done. He saved us a ton on labor and parts, but geez - the time it took him!
It's National FFA Week so I've got activities going on every day. It's going to be a busy week for me.
Hope you are all happy and healthy!

Just passing through to say hi.

Hope you all had a great weekend and that your week is off to a great start! Things are good here - the facial on Saturday was sheer bliss. I could get one every weekend, if the budget allowed for it. Not happening, but one can dream, right?

Anyone watch the Oscars? I am purely interested for the fashion action on the red carpet. I didn't see any of the movies - we don't get out to the theater much anymore although many of them are on my list.

Hugs, Sandra!

Hi Chris, Kat, Linda, Sal, Clara, Dawn, and to all of the wonderful daily O's who pop in later today.

Chat with you all later!

 

[NicosMommy]

Hey girls,


Happy Monday. Not much going on here, just the norm. Ran to the post office and stuff, been cleaning, now Nico is napping and I'm online. I ordered 2 photobooks from artscow today, because I had credits that were going to expire for free books. (two 39 page books, $7.99 each for shipping only!) I have a bunch of LO's from Christmas / winter that I want to get printed. so anyway....

Chris - lol Manic monday I was laughing, got that song in my head!! And you are not alone with the grocery shopping- sooooo expensive!! I LOATHE grocery shopping!:evil:

Sandra Im sorry you are having a tough time. IT seems like when we have all we can handle, more comes along. Still praying for you and your fam. And please dont let your sister get you down! Also, I want to tell you that my father inlaw had the anuerysm in his aorta 2 summers ago, It was super scary. He did well and they were able to repair it and this was 2 years after having a quadruple by-pass. so.....glad she did well in surgery. Praying for her as well.

Dawn, glad you had a nice weekend. 6 LO's!! wish I had that much concentration!!! I have been restless with my scrapping lately. One decent LO here and there.....sigh.

Kat - hope you got everything done and enjoyed your day!!!

Clara - Glad you are having a good day. Funny about the kids and the arguing!! Its always something right? I bet pretty soon Addie will give him an even bigger run for his money! lol I haven't joined Facebook yet, I feel like I cant committ to one more thing! Is that goofy? lol.


Well girls that's it from me, my mom is stopping by to see Nico, and he will be up soon from his nap. I will be on again maybe later to scrap, but I will definitely be watching The Bachelor tonight. ANy Bachelor fans here???

Hi all -

Trying to keep a happy face on. Today we had training because we are converting to a new library system. Only our dist tech guy didn't do anything that he was supposed to do. It was awful. Especially for the HS and MS librarians and paras because they had no books and no patrons in. Argh. The stress....

Oh well. Fairly quiet evening here as DH is at a presentation. Ben is watching Caillou. I didn't have the energy to entertain after the day we had. So I'm catching up on stuff.

A few personals:
Sandra - We are still supporting you...no matter what may come. You can lean on us.
Sally - Seven years of a beautiful miracle! Amazing!!
Chris - I wish I could drag my butt out of bed earlier (or that the O wasn't blocked at school) so that I could see your happy postings everyday! =)

*waving* to ME, Clara, Kelly, LindaP, etc. Love you all!

I'm off to catch up on more postings. =)

 

[LSlycord]

Sandra, so sorry to hear about everything happening in your life. I'm still praying.

I spent yesterday afternoon in bed with a cold. I worked from home this morning and then took the afternoon off to try to get some rest.

Sydney has major dental work done on Friday...so they are putting her under anesthesia. She turns 5 on Sunday and I don't know how good she will feel. The good news is that the only party she wants is with her extended family at Chuckee Cheese. So, if she isn't up to it, we can always bump the party a week.

I'm so tired...and I so need spring to get here? Anyone else feel that way?

 

[petey111]

I am sooo with you Linda!!

 

[RealRach]

Spring? Did someone say spring! ahhh...I'm not sure it will ever arrive. Knowing my luck we will just by pass spring and move into summer.

Well, I'm taking the plunge and just jumping in with both feet. Sorry for the splash!
But I'm in the pool now! Let's have fun!

 

[petey111]

Welcome Rachel!!! Feel free to splash, dive, play Marco Polo...whatever strikes your fancy!
