Its Monday-

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - in a new land
And it's waiting for me
Here I am


(Bryan Adams now :D)

I am trying again- new day, fresh start and loving Sally's attitude.

Relatively quiet day here. Food shopping and working from home.
Now if I could just keep the school from calling and make Scott be happy.....

Me Me Monday-
I really and truly need to get the cruddy nail polish off my toes!



 
Good morning! I'll use Chris' example her and be happy that it's Monday! This week feels like it's going to be a long one.

Mom's radiologist appointment is this morning. I would have normally worked from home but I have a staff meeting this morning and then my team meeting this afternoon. So I'll just leave in the middle of the day to come back to get mom and take her to the doctor. Surgery is tomorrow.

I got a chance to do a bunch of scrapping this weekend. Boy was that fun! I love it when that happens!

Dawn, what movie did you and your husband go to? And Linda W, how was your "date"? Details ladies.

Now, off to the shower for me! (I'm leaving pumpkin spice lattes and coffee cake for all who come in later this morning. ;-) )
 
Hi Hi Hi!!

I think things may go back to normal around here and I can get back to saying my daily hellos!!

Hi Chris!! Love ur good spirits this morning!!
LindaS- Yum Pumpkin Spice Lattes! Thanks!! I hope all goes well at your apointment!! I am anxious for the details too Dawn and Linda W.

So for me its just Monday! Gonna try and make it a productive one! So I must be off to bless my house!!
 
Okay, I think I'll jump on the happy train! It's a gonna be a good and productive day!

Today is going to be just a general catch up and get organized for the week day. I've been going in a lot of directions and need to regroup.

It's finally cool enough for soup so I'm gonna dump a bunch of stuff in my crockpot and have home made soup and bread bowls for dinner. Yummy.

Chris, hope today is a good day for all at your house and that things go well for Scott at school. Thanks for the toe crossing on Friday. That does work better though, without cruddy toenail polish....

LindaS, thanks for the latte and cake.

LindaW, forgot to say thanks for the chili on Friday! It was nice and hot like I like it!

Have a good day, I'm off to have some breakfast even though I just had latte and cake. lol
 
Happy Monday morning ladies! I'm still half asleep myself LOL, but I'm *happy* ;).

DH and I saw Zombieland, it was hilarious! A little gory but I was laughing so hard I barely noticed LOL, it was a good time kinda movie.

Chris-I'm going food shopping, too, woohoo, fun times! I hope all is well for you today on the Scott/school front.

Merkee-how soon will you know something about DH's job? I'm praying for y'all. I hope you have a fab day :).

LindaS-My prayers and thoughts are with you and your mom and family.

Lori-good morning! I'm with you on trying to make the day productive, I was a little lax over the weekend as far as the house goes.

Love and hugs to all :).
 
Good morning my O fam!!

I am late getting in here....Little Ayden got here and was HUNGRY!! then he was fussy....I think Monday's are going to be the hardest...I believe Mommy and Daddy probably hold him all the time...he's snoozing now...it's all good...I just talk to him and tell him "You are going to be OKAY little one!!"

Okay....I am excited for my date next weekend....since I have a whole week...I am planning it out....I know we are going to see "Couples Resort"...that movie looks hillarious!! We haven't been to the movies in ages...except to kiddie movies with Cameran....don't laugh...but I think the last movie DH and I went to the theatre to see was Cast Away..with Tom Hanks...Oh wow...that was a long time ago!!

I gotta get my wash going....

Sorry I didn't get back to leave love yesterday...but I do love you all!!

I do want to say Chris...I know exactly what you are going through!! and I am here if you need a good sounding board to yell at, or bang your head on!! But I will tell you again....IT WILL GET BETTER!!!
 
Hi Dawn, thanks for asking. There is no real "know date". Hubby is paycheck to paycheck. The company he works for is barely hanging on. So the 1st and the 15th are the typical paydays. We hold our breath for each one. He has applications online but the response has been mainly headhunters and minimal pay companies.

We'll be okay regardless. If he gets laid off, he will draw unemployment and just go full steam with his studies and then take his certification tests. Once he updates his resumes with the certs. He will be much more in demand and eventually make much more than he does now anyhow. The budget will just get majorly tighter around here for a while.

It's just nerve wracking not knowing if his paycheck will bounce and the timing around the holidays isn't fun. I'm afraid to buy anything. :( I usually start doing my major Christmas shopping right now.

It's great that he can do that! I soooo KWYM about things being tight. I hate even thinking how close Christmas is!

Fake it til you make it girl!! I'm right there with you!!
 
Good morning ladies. I'm trying to go off of Chris's virtual steam but I'm feeling a little under the weather and my head is fuzzy. I forgot all my meds at home so I'm having some effexor withdrawls too which kinda sucks. Of course they have gone to all generic so they have none in the drug closet. Lame-O!! That's what I get for being a knuckhead. I'll survive I'm sure. Yesterday I slept and slept. I took a 3 hour nap and felt like I could have slept for 3 more, then like an idiot I stayed up all night on the computer. Brilliant Clara, brilliant. LOL! The week is off to an okay start though. I need to get on the soup train though. I have a tip for all of you crock pot users. I found the absolutely coolest thing at Walmart a few months ago.

**They have crock pot bags. **

I don't know about all of you but I have a heck of a time cleaning out my crockpot. So, you put in your crockpot bag/liner and there is virtually no clean up, no soaking and you can use it two days in a row. How awesome is that?? And they aren't even that expensive. I think you get 6 for $2.50 or something like that. Kinda cool. I need to find some crock pot recipes this week. I'm making blackeyed peas on Thursday. Yummy.

So, that's about it. I'll do personals seperately in a minute. Happy Monday!!
 
Chris - I wish I said some great words of wisdom for you with Scott. I do know you will both make it. I know my mom made it. I can tell you what he's going through but that doesn't make it any better. Kids just get so angry when life isn't fair and sometimes it isn't just unfair but is really down right s***y and it sucks. Kids don't deserve to be sick and their poor emotions are just not equipped to deal with it and they strike out in the most ridiculous ways that hurt themselves and they don't understand and I know it just breaks your heart. Being a parent now, I completely understand that. My mom made me so angry when I was a teenager but now as an adult I can see how hard she fought for me. You are fighting for your kids in so many ways and one way or another you will all come out okay, probably not the way any of you envision but okay. I'll continue praying for your family. Big hugs.

LindaS - I hope your week is not nearly as crazy as you are anticipating. I will be praying that everything goes perfectly for your mom tomorrow. I'm glad you got to get some scrapping done this weekend. that is awesome.

Merkee - As far as your husbands paychecks go, I would suggest getting them cashed at the bank they were written at. That way if you have the money you are good and you don't have to worry once it is done if the money is in there or not. It is a bit of extra pain but worth it. I had to do that with an employer I had and it sucked but it was what I had to do. I never would have thought of it if my mom hadn't suggested it. It sounds like even though it isn't an ideal situation it will work out better in the long run. I'll be thinking about you guys, especially with the holidays coming.

Lori - So glad that things are getting back to normal. How is your dh doing? Is he back home now?? All the illnesses right now is making me very thankful for me and my family's health, although lately I have an eery feeling like I've been waiting for the ball to drop. I hope it goes away soon.

Dawn - Zombieland? You are so strange!! I think all people who like scray movies are strange though, so don't worry, you are not really stressful. How's your head? That stinks that your head has started hurting again. I hope it gets better soon.

LindaW - Cast Away? Seriously? That movie came out while I lived in Italy before I was pregnant with Ethan. I know you are not real big on doing things for yourself, but come on lady. Go see a grown up movie. It is good for you. Go see a movie with your daughters or something. Crazy girl. I'm glad that Ayden is behaving for you slowly but surely. He'll get used to you and love you and your ways. I'm guessing he's the first child for his parents?? It is amazing how hard we make our lives with our first babies.

Well, I think that is about it. I'm sending love out to all of you who have not yet visited yet. Have a great day and first day of the week everybody!!
 
I know girls.....I love movies...I rent ALL THE TIME....but usually the girls don't want to go with me to the movies...when I get alone time without kids with them, they would rather go places we can talk to each other, out to dinner and stuff...or we do go to concerts together or we to outdoor things...I am the biggest movie fan around here...so..........and I am good with renting...BUT...get this...when I told DH we needed to get out and have a date night/day...he agreed and HE suggested the movies and dinner and shopping!! WOOT!! on the other hand...what has he done wrong!! LOL!!! He has had more of a "romantic" year this year than in a long time....we usually don't celebrate Valentine's Day too big, because it's Traci's birthday....I never wanted to take away from her special day...but he bought me diamond earrings this year as a surprise...and he got all the kids together and got me a special mothers day present...UNLIKE HIM!!! Is he going soft in his old age...or is he guilty!! LOL!!!!!!!

Chris........LOVE LOVE the singing...maybe you, Sue and myself should make it a TRIO!!

LindaS...I am praying for your Mom and You!! I hope everything goes perfect!! and if you didn't see already...date postponed to this coming Sunday!!

Lori...glad things are getting back to normal....how is MR POTTS?

Merkee....I know it can be frustrating not knowing about your "security"...I hope things look up for DH soon...sounds like he has a good plan...and good for him to do school to better his chances!! I am praying for you guys too!! Soup sounds good!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn....you like those zombie movies...LOL!! I just can't get into them...You and Amanda always have fun together!! I am so glad!! and even if DH sleeps through the movie...at least he is going with you!!!

Clara....I think it's hillarious that something like crockpot bags gets you all excited...I am the exact same way!!! But I have known about those for years! I hope you are feeling better soon dear (((HUGS))) and yes...little Ayden is a first child!!
 
Hmmmm.. Okay, now that I have Ren & Stimpy stuck in my head so I'll venture into posting in this topic.

MeMeMe today... Somewhat motivated on the work front to get things done, (at least for an hour or 2). I sent a couple photo orders out and replied to a few business emails. I also just talked to the bride for the wedding I'm photographing this weekend. She's an older lady and this is her second marriage and her first not at a courthouse. I hadn't heard from her in a couple months, but she's doing all the planning and details and EVERYTHING herself and is still in great spirits and was just laughing with me on the phone. Apparently we both suck with knowing directions to places unless we have it written in front of us.

Anyway tonight I'm going to try to get more organized with work and projects and things, or a least write out what I need accomplished.

______


Lindas I hope that your mother's doctors appointment went well and that the surgery goes well tomorrow.

I'm with you on the getting organized front Merkee, so I wish you luck.

Dawn, Zombieland is on my list to see at the end of this month, so it is good to hear that you found it hilarious. I'll be going to the drive-in movies with my brother and some of his friend for a Quadruple feature, (If I stay awake the whole time), so I'm sure that Clara will think this is strange also since the movies playing are: Saw VI, (which I really don't care to see. When will these movies stop?), Zombieland, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original one, though I haven't seen either), & Interview with the Vampire (which I love).

I love movies anyway and own enough to open my own movie rental, and there is nothing like getting out and going to the theater for me. Just wish it were cheaper as I used to go more often but now it is just too expensive.


Well, off to another place singing Happy Happy Joy Joy and avoiding work.. I think I'll head home soon too and avoid it some more.
 
Dawn- So glad ur happy today I hope the day proved to be the productive one you wanted.

LindaW- Date night sounds exciting. I want to have one too. There is a nice japanese restaurant up the street I want to go to.

Merkee- Sorry u are having hard times. I have had the same feeling before and often feel it too. Sounds like u have the right attitude.No sense getting too upset it will be alright in the end. Thats what I tell myself if I stress to hard.

Clara- Crockpot bags really? This sounds interesting! Will have to check it out!

EH- Love your take on your day. Sounds like your having fun and have it all together.

For those who asked. Mr Potts is on the mend. He came home Thursday and is taking his antibiotics. We have no insurance so we had to pay 400 bucks for 14 pills but they are strong and 400 bucks to get him better is good. Too bad I wont be able to pay the hospital for years.
 
Okay, first let me tell you, I'm super behind on LO's, so yesterday after church and today were going to be my time to catch up with my brand new software (PSE8). K. I start it up, and none of my presets are there. So I ran Add-O-Matic (for those of you who know what that is) and it wouldn't go. Said it didn't seem like I had a version of PSE installed. Grrr. Then I tried to manually add my styles and actions, and they still would not show up. SO now day two of my scrapping catch up time is OVER and I did one LO. Which I am not sure how I feel about. Argh. I'm trying one more thing, which I hope will work. BTW, Graffi from Graficalicious.com is awesome, and you should all patronize him. He has been helping, or trying to help me. Great customer service, unlike Adobe, who told me (via recording) that I might have to pay for support, and then put me on hold for 15 minutes before I could find out whether or not I was going to be able to afford finding out why I can't use my stuff.

Grrr.

But in other news, when I went to go pick Atha up at school today, the TA told me that the teacher wanted to talk to me. Oh no. So I had Atha and Gen, both in their cute frog rain boots and rain coats btw, and we were walking down that looong hall to the classroom. I totally felt like a kid. I was like, "Atha did you have to move your fish today?"(their naughty board... long story) and no she didn't. Anyway, I got back there and her teacher said, "In 18 years of teaching Pre K I have never come across a child who is as bright as Atha is." Holy cow. I was so PROUD! I know, pride is a sin, but I'm proud OF her, not for myself. Anyway, the teacher told me that Atha NEEDS to be in Kindergarten, maybe 1st grade. I am a little bit worried about how tiny she is- she's the smallest kid in PreK! But the teacher told me not to worry about it. She said that with Atha's reading skills it would be a waste to leave her in Preschool.
So I'm feeling good about that!

Now some personals.
 
Chris- I agree with Clara. Boy, she really said it well. So I'll just say ((HUGS))). Hope your attitude helped you today. Sometimes pretending to be happy really does work, I know, I've done it!

And YYYUUUUMMMMMMMMY!! Those fragrances sound incredible. I can't decide between caramel corn and cake batter ice cream. But maybe since I originally was thinking of cake and ice cream, how about the cake batter ice cream? A body wash, pleeez? You rock and roll!

LindaW- So, I used to love movies, but now that I have these little kids I never go. I hardly ever watch them either. It seems like I don't have 2 hours that I can sit and do nothing but watch a movie. I hate just sitting, anyway. Vince loves movies, and will watch the worst Krappy movies. Whenever we try to watch a movie together I have to get my crocheting. LOL Drives him nuts. I rent tv shows on Netflix. I'm on season 5 of Gilmore girls. Hahaha!

Lori-I'm glad to hear that the Mr. is on the mend, but sorry to hear about the insurance and the bills. Yikes. That's one of the chief reasons my husband is still in the military. When my oldest was little, I had no insurance for a long time and it was terrifying. So I wish you the best!!

Clara- Hope you're feeling better soon. I used to take anti-depressants, and that feeling of withdrawing from them is so weird. I would feel like my head was in an elevator going down. Totally disorienting. ANd you crack me up about the crock pot bags. I keep thinking about trying those, but I feel like I'd rip them when I stirred. Do they stay put really well? I love my crock pot, but never use it anymore because of cleaning. I use my dutch oven instead.
 
Linda S- Hugs and prayers for you and your mom. I hope that all went well with her appt, and that all goes well with her surgery tomorrow! Oh and lucky you getting to scrap all weekend!

Merkee- Again, a reason why Vince is still in the Army. We know his paychecks will be good... well, with the US economy doing what it did last year it was a little dicey, JK. But yeah, I've been a paycheck to paycheck kinda gal for all of my adult life, so I totally get it. But you have a fab attitude. YOu strike me as an unflappable sort.

Dawn- Glad you got to go laugh and laugh at a movie! That would be great to try to do when Vince gets home on RnR in ... April. Sweet Fancy Moses, that feels like a long time away. Well, lots of time to plan!
