[faerywings]

Happy happy Monday!
To steal from my FB status:
Happy Monday- here's to everyone having an awesome week! *clink of very large wine glasses*



How is my O-Fam??
Did you see Linda S posted late yesterday? Loving Coz! Who is saving their pennies for next year? I am going to try my best. Not going to be easy but if I can do it, you know I will!!

I am having a crazy week again.... but I am going to do my best to stay focused and positive thinking.
I misses out on Sally's Gratitudes last week but I am all over them now.
And... I am going to get the hOme Organizing thread going again.
And....... a birdie-O has said there is going to be a really fun Challenge this week!!
Woot!

Let me offer everyone some coffee and cider donuts (calorie free because I have been eating and gaining a lot!)... and on to personals.

Linda S!!!!! I am goign to check out your Coz pics on FB as soon as I am done here. I am so glad (and completely not surprised) that you had an awesome time. Aren't Cyn, Sal and Vicki just the best!? And el Cid.... *happy sighs*
I can't wait to hear all of the details!

Linda W- (see, aren't you glad that I "made" you use initials LOLOL!) keep writing those books to me. Seriously! It helps more than you know to hear how other parents get through this - and haven't ruined their kids in the process LOL

Clara- oh no- poor you! LOL Addie sounds so cute, but I can see how it would get to be too much, especially if you are trying to sleep.
And you too- thank you so much for your perspective on being the kid having the tough time in school. I know I keep saying it, but it helps me out so much.

Linda W- oooh! The coats sound cute! Great deals too! jaiden is so lucky to have you as a Nana! My mom scored Caitlyn some footie pj's in Target (That girl is so funny- she still loooooves footies!) for $10!

Sandra- thank goodness Gabe was able to take Piper- poor guy must still not be feeling himself, and when that happens, ya gotta have Momma!
Hope you had good designing mojo!

Before I sign off- I have a quick question about Firefox... I used to have it where the stuff I typed into a form would "stick around" until I cleared them all out. Now they only stay for a few days. Any idea of how to change it back?
Any idea of what I am talking about?

Me Me Monday!
Oh! We are going out to dinner tonight! A restaurant down by my MIL's runs specials on some Mondays and donates proceeds to different charities. MIL suggested Turn The Corner, for Lyme and tonight is the night.
My family, my IL's, parents, brother, SIL and SIL's mom are all going out tonight. I don't have to cook and the money goes to an awesome cause! woot!

It's chilly here this morning!! First Frost of the year...guess my flowers will all be gone now....

I guess I will only have one baby today...Savannah was not feeling too good all weekend...so she is going to take her to the dr today...

I have been watching the "hot air balloon" fiasco news on tv this morning....they keep talking about what kind of charges might be brought on these people....I swear there should be a law in place that is strictly about being and IDIOT!! I mean really....did they think those little kids were never going to spill their guts?? Little kids can not be quiet about anything!!!! And why would you want to be in the STARLIGHT that badly??!! I like not being known by anyone!!!

In case yall haven't noticed...I watch a lot of news....national....I couldn't tell you hardly anything going on around here!! LOL!!! I hardly ever watch local news, but DH does tell me what's in the paper...

Good morning! I am procrastinating doing the dishes before heading off to work by chatting with you. I had a great night last night. I had a friend over for a play date...well she brought her kids over and we sat and chatted while she made me apple crisp. She's a dessert maker. Then we went to my neighbors and ate homemade flautas. They weren't quite as good as I had expected but I am so not complaining. they were homemade and really were yummy. They weren't made by an old Mexican woman but a young mexican guy so i was really quite impressed. I'll take it. We didn't share apple crisp with the kids last night so I let Ethan have some for breakfast and can you believe the little snot sat at the table pouting? How do you pout at the same time as you put sugary apple yummyness in your mouth? What the heck? That is just...I don't know what. But it doesn't seem like it should be possible.

Chris - So, you're in for another crazy week huh? Well, what would your life be if not crazy? Yay for positive thinking. I am glad that my sharing my experiences as a sick teenager help you. It helps that they are good for something. No really. My life did not turn out how I planned (who's does?) but I turned out just fine in the end. I had to work a little harder in some ways but I have a good life and I'm happy. Just keep loving him and he'll be fine and so will you. Big hugs. That restaurant thing is awesome. I hope they raise a ton of money tonight.

LindaW - Poor little savannah. I hope she feels better soon. Frost already? Oh wow. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It is unreal. Watching winter come is the most beautiful and sad time of year, but happy all at the same time. Very weird. That hot air balloon thing is so crazy. I don't watch the news at all. I haven't watched much news since the Iraq war started. A long time, I know. It is just too hard for me. But I see little things here and there. This stuff is just too crazy. I don't get it. When I know people on the news it is always such heartwrenching stuff. The last time my sister was on the news because of the whole story when the foster parent was trying to keep a child that wasn't hers and had been making her seem like she had neurological issues she didn't have and it was a horrible situation, and the time before that was when a friend of mine had died in a plane crash. So, I would prefer to not be on the news if that is the type of news that is out there. Yuck!! Not for me thank you very much!!

Okay, no more procrastination. Off to do the dishes. Blah!!

So...today is a good day...BUT I checked my email a minute ago and am heart broken...over something silly I know...but still. I got the European tour dates for Dave Matthews is playing in Padova, Italy. No big deal to you I know. But that is 20 minutes from my house in Italy. 20 minutes. That is closer than I live from Seattle or even Tacoma. And to see a concert in Italy is just awesome. I saw Depeche Mode in Italy and attempted to Alannis Morrisette in Italy and it was just cool. But 20 minutes from my house. That is just not fair. Now I know people are starving in the world and there are real life problems but I am sitting at work pouting anyway, because I can. so...
