HI girls, have a few minutes for you, breakfast is finished, its nearly 9am here.
Yesterday we met Amelies great grandmother and great granddad. Before that we were at the doctor, and she got her earrings, she didnt scream only crying a little bit for 2 minutes, then evrything was ok again. She is so cute, will show you when Im back pictures. Then at the evening we met my mom and my brother and sister, spent the evening there.
The night was horrible, Amelie got Fieber (dont know it in englisch, can someone of you look up in the dictionary pls *g*) and didnt slept very well, now she was crying, her body totally hot and now she felt asleep, have to look what we will do today, hope she is not ill, and its only because of getting theeth, but shes like shes on fire. So hot.

Have to go, maybe will be back in the evening.

Hugs Cornelia

Oh Cornelia - I hope she is feeling better soon! I think she got a fever...if she's hot that's the word we use....fever. Sometimes they can get fevers when they are teething, but I hope that's it and she's not sick. Glad her earrings look cute though. =)

O.k. I'm officially going to bed. I finished my Danielle Young LO. I'll have to try and get my designer spotlight challenge done tomorrow. =)

Morning and Happy 4th to my lovely O-fam :).

Real quick check-in....gotta tell ya Davy's newest....you know what male dogs do to your leg? Yup....Davy started that this morning....time for the vet LOL, poor Davy. He's following me around like a little puppy, worse than usual, and seems so desperate. It's like someone flipped a switch. hehehe

LindaW-Hiya sweetie! I got some cleaning done, got the bed torn apart, curtains down, bug bombed the room(that stuff was strong), vacuumed and dusted. Just need to go through closet and stuff on the tables. I kinda fizzled out yesterday LOL, slept like a log on the couch though.

I hope you have lots of fun at the zoo :). ((((hugs))))

Morning all! Can you tell I work well when I'm up late?? Between not even apparently finishing the comment on Ona's layout and crazy spelling errors in my journaling on my SSIYH layout....goodness!!

Linda - Have fun! I love zoos. And it's looking like the rain will be gone, though it's gray outside. I think that it will be o.k.

Dawn - That's hysterical! Davy is such a card. I really want to get Ben some sort of pet, but I couldn't even handle the one crazy butterfly we had. And hearing Davy's exploits, I'm pretty sure a rabbit wouldn't be my cup o tea. =) I hope you have a fantastic day!!

OK. Off to have some doubleshots, bacon, and fruit. I have to finish a load of laundry and throw together the french vanilla Oreo pudding dessert too and get ready. Have a great day ladies!!

Good morning! Woo hoo! I slept in- 8 am! The downside of that is that it makes me feel like I lost half of my day LOL

Hi Cornelia... I bet that Amelie looks adorable in those earrings! Make sure you turn them often so they heal good. teething and fevers seem to go hand in hand, at least with my guys, Hope she perks up and has a wonderful time visiting her family.

Hi Ona! Hope that you are having a nice weekend as well!

LindaW- LOL yes, I am bossy- just ask my kids buhahahaahh! Seriously- I love the friendships and love in this forum. It keeps my faith in humanity going especially after I see some horrid stuff in the news (or frommy kids stories about school "friends"!)

Hi Sara- I am going to have to check out your song LO- I never did get to do one for that- I am so far behind in scrapping... so sad...:(
Too funny- but I got your email update from Good Reads last night. am going ot have to try to get back into that site again.

Dawn- Popov vodka and diet cola (store brand) was one of my big cheap drinks in college. You could throw it in a travel mug and as no one got too close (fumes!LOL) you could bring it out with you ;)
The bears are really exciting to see. I love them, not so crazy when they drag garbage around. we have a bear proof can so they don't usally get into my stuff.They try- and there are teeth marks inthe lid to prove it. But if a neighbor's can gets hit and they bring it by me I have to clean it all up. Which them gets me aggravated b/c as I am cleaning it, I see all of the food that isn't mine!

As a side note, you can tell the diff. between a bear hitting your garbage and a raccoon. A raccoon will usually dump the garbage right there, and then drag the food all over. A bear will drag the bag somewhere "off site" and then root through it.

LindaP- we had a bear hunt in NJ one year-- very controversial. I (tree hugger!) am against the hunt. I am all for trying to sterilize the bears to control population. Ultimately I would like to see the development and deforestation of my area be stopped. The hunt was not successful in terms of reducing that many bears, and there were several "horror stories" that came out of some hunters shooting into dens. Not cool. :(

/off soapbox ;)

Hi Dawn- hope you got to sleep better last night and no reflux. My stomach has been really upset (lyme or meds, I don't know...) and I hate that feeling!

Good morning Clara! Hope that you got to sleep in today since you didn't yesterday. Is it black bears by your SIL? Black bears are typically non-aggressive towards humans, but if it is grizzly- then I'd be freaking too!
Your dessert sounded so yummy- can you believe I have never had rhubarb?
Hope things look up for your sis. I went through that w/ my brother a while back. He was lonely wanted to be married and have kids. Almost moved to SC when his company tranferred. I talked him out of his funk eventually and that is when he met my SIL! Hope your sis gets ahppy ending to :)

Linda P- This rain is getting to me too-I tried to get outside an ddo some weeding, thenit rained....then the sun came out and I went back outside. But the wet brought all of the mosquitos with it. Then it started to rain againand I gave up!
Your party sounds like so much fun! I love that impromptu party-ing!

Andrea LOL at the way your news traveled so fast! How old is Jenny? My neighbor and friend across the street has a similar situation with her DS who is 6. He has ADHD issues, plus low muscle tone in his trunk, which affects his large and fine motor skills. He is starting PT and OT and speech next week.
Woot on that veggie score! Yum!
Yes, I have a white tea and ginger scent, let me check to see how much I have left.... yup about 1/4 oz left...
now it is on my hands, smells good!

(LindaW- I am making your salve this morning- will ship on monday!!)

Yvonna-- zucchini and tomatoes are two of my fave veggies! Yum!

Sally- how was the play? Bet Cora did great- she gets her talents from her mom (and dad *G*)

Sara-- nice job on the shopping trip w/ SIL!! Maternity clothes sure have changes since I had my 2- who remembers those stretchy jumper things? I lived in them, esp with Scott b/c I had such bad indigestion I could have anything sit on my waist/stomach. And the supe long, baby-doll tops that made you look evenmore like a blimp? LOLOL!

Yay Dawn---- so glad you got things worked out with your car!!!
We just got our registration for Gary's motorcycle-($58!!!) and we have to get more insurnce onit. It hasn't run in over 2 years.... but we need to sell it asap....
Not sure that money is coming from.....

Oh well.

Ok lovelies- I am done rambling, hope that everyone has a FAB day!

A man in NJ (approx 45 yo) has had his license suspended 75 times!!! but always given back and this week he wrecked into someone again!! OMG...VA calls that a habitual offender and they suspend license for 10 years!!! (after the 3rd or 4th offense)...WOW!!!!!!!!!

Yikes! Where in NJ--so I know not to drive there!

(My bet is that NJ wants to keep collecting fines from this guy- we are in almost desperate need for revenue as CA!)

Chris,
We have our share of people who are "shooters" and not "hunters". I hate it when they take game and waste it. Wild game is about all we eat so we hunt to eat and nothing more. I can totally relate to hunts that go bad. So many people are not careful and simply don't think about where they are shooting and what is beyond their target.

That sucks having to clean up other people's garbage!

Cornelia - hope Amelie feels better soon, can't wait to see pictures of the newly pierced ears.

It's till raining here, almost two inches in the rain guage! UGH! I so need to be outside getting things done and can't. As Chris said the moitsure brings out all the mosquitoes!

Not much planned for today. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

always chatty at the O!!
Hey ladies!! Just thought I'd hop in real quick. Forgot to take my allergy meds so my head hurts. Last night we went to the horse races for their 4th of July celebration. It was awesome...our military IDs got us in for free which is always nice. I don't really do the betting thing, but the kids love the horses and we go with a group and wealways have a lot of fun. Today we are off to p lay at the lake. It should be a lot of fun. For right now though I need some coffee. ugh!! I'll chit chat later.

Sally, was it busy in the supermarket?

Cornelia, how old is Amelie? I think it was mentioned once before.. But I can't remember :oops: Our daughter, Imke, also has pierced ears. We gave her earrings a few weeks after her 2nd birthday.

Kat, ohh sounds nice a bbq!

I went to the hairdresser today. I always love going there :D
Yesterday it started raining so much overhere! I told Imke she could go and run outside. Because it still was warm. She started running and jumping. And she even layed down on the ground in the water :lol: She had lots of fun.

Hey all! Yikies, I'm so sleepy today. *YAWN* Vince is still 4 hours away for the long weekend, so it's just the girls and me today. We're gonna have some burgers with those Ore Ida extra crispy fries and corn on the cob from the occupational therapist's trunk today, and then when it gets dark I guess we'll go outside and look up. LOL I know there have got to be plenty of fireworks here at Fort Bragg. There's even probably some kind of community celebration going on. If I were more motivated I'd look for it, but I'm not. Oh well! No biggie. Back before Atha was born we used to go to friend's house and have a HUGE party on the 4th with plenty of adult beverages and explosions, but.. well, those friends are actually at Ft. Lewis now. Hey, Clara, do you know Jeff and Quisha? LOL!

Just some quick personals, if I get more energy I'll read all the posts later.

Sara- when I was 35 and pregnant with Atha, one nice nurse kept referring to my pregnancy as a "Geriatric Pregnancy." which would make me think of a 70+ year old woman with a walker and a baby bump. Like I was on the AARP pregnancy plan. LOL! I'll get over feeling this old pretty soon, I'm sure, but blah.. women in their 20's feel old in the first trimester, I think.

Chris- White tea and ginger is exactly what I was thinking of!!! Whoopee! Now I really have to email you.
Jen is only 2 1/2, and we've been working with her issues for a year now. When she was 1 1/2 she didn't have any words at all yet, so our Parents as Teachers Educator (do you know what parents as teachers is?) started working with her for it. After that, we started noticing her sensory issues. She is low-sensing, so she does things like suck her thumb, and she likes to feel my face and neck, it's actually pretty irritating. She also has low tone and is clumsy. But her communication is coming along really well. She's not where most 2 1/2 year olds are, but she's improving steadily, which is awesome. It rules out any kind of autism spectrum disorder. I think that if we keep going like we are, she'll be just fine.

Oh, and Popov vodka? Barf! Cheap vodka is the worst! Not that I haven't drunk it on purpose in the past. Just... right now the thought is repulsive. But yeah, when I can drink, I will usually not get any vodka cheaper than Smirnoff, because you go lower than that and you are just asking for misery in my experience. LOL

I have got to go check out Danielle's music challenge. I just put up a LO with one of Miss Crow's older kits, one that I don't think she even has in the shop here. I sent her a message on Facebook telling her she should, it's one of my faves.

Anyhooo, I'm going to go try to do some crafts with Atha so she's not totally bored, poor thing.

If I don't get back later, happy Independence Day to Americans, and happy Saturday to everybody ellse!

Its Sunday morning here downunder and most of you guys would be getting ready to head off to bed! Hope you all had a terrific 4th of July.

Andrea: ITA on the vodka! these days it has to be Smirnoff!!! One of our neighbours actually makes it and at first I was totally sceptical BUT it is just fantastic......even better then Smirnoff!! Hope you are getting some rest in, its really hard when you have other little ones as well!

Chris: I am with you on the hunting thing but then again I don't live in a bear populated location!!! LOL! the only 'bears' we have are koala bears that sit in the gum trees eating leaves.........they actually grunt like a boar........and when they mate the female just sounds like a woman screaming. First time we heard it when we moved out onto the property it was like 2 in the morning and DH and I both woke up with fright! Freaked us right out until we finally realised what it might be! LOL!!

LindaW: So nice to have the littlies sleepover isn't it!! I love it when my brood come over, love having them in bed with us in the morning........we have some wonderful conversations!!!

Dawn: LOL! about Davey!! and wow! you did have a big clean up!!

Sara: hahaha!! I wondered why you just 'stopped' writing on my LO!! hahaha! you are too funny girl! I don't think I could stay up that late if I tried!! Hope your parade didn't get washed out and that you had a good time!

Yvonnahenna: yum! I like tomatoes too! in certain parts of Australia you can grow them all year around, places like Queensland that doesn't get real cold, towards the coast. I can't grow any vegies because between the wallabies, possums and King parrots I have nothing left!!!

Clara: Hope you are feeling better sweets!! and that you had a nice time at the lake.

Kat: Hope you got some pics of Nick at his first parade! and hope you enjoyed your swim and bbq. My fingers are soooooo cold at the moment typing this, and here you are going for a swim!!! LOL!

Sally: Did you get through the supermarket ok!! still in one piece!! hope you had a great day and thanks for 'invite' to the party! LOL! it would be big hike for me!! :)

Well I just have to go and sit in the sun for a bit.......its quite cold in the house.......LOL! I have been watching the King parrots and Lorikeets trying to land on the verandah and have some seed but our little terror Chewie keeps chasing them away!! hahaha! normally he doesn't worry but he must have got out of bed the wrong way this morning!! ok, gotta go, enjoy your Saturday nights and talk to you all later. hugs to everyone xoxxo

Ona- I heard that Koalas are actually really violent when they mate. That they like, go into a frenzy or something, am I right?
I think I may have seen that on the Crocodile Hunter and I thought, wow... so much for cute and cuddly little koalas!

Ugh, we had a horrid storm come through. DH and I had just gotten back from dinner and grocery shopping. Put everything away. Lightning struck and the power went out. It's been 2 hrs now. We have the generator running the 'necessities' like the computer, tv, and fridge LOL.

That's not quite the fireworks I had in mind LMBO.

I hope everyone's having a nice evening :).
