CHEERY O
We are getting closer to the weekend, yay! And thankfully, we have a 3 day weekend, too. Schools are closed on Monday for an in-service day. I didn't get much of anything done yesterday. I was feeling kinda lousy again since I am back on the new abx. It one week on, one off. But I finally did make my appt for my mammogram that I was supposed to have done last May, a recheck where I had the biopsy last year. I had to do it too, I have been feeling 'tender" if that makes sence on that side and under my armpit. My Lyme dr keeps feeling the lymph nodes swollen on that side too. Gary needed to make an appt with a Lyme Neuro specialist and he told me he'd make his appt when I made mine. So here we are again, bribing each other to make dr's appts. It sucks, but it works.

Today i am off to work at MIL's.
But now I need to get Scott out of bed again. ugh!!! My kids just refuse to get up ontheir own! :mad:
 
Why oh why do my kids have to be so grumpy in the mornings? In case you are wondering, I am nothing but sweetness and light when I wake up.

:help:

Ok so that was a big fat :lie:

I can't figure out why my butt is so big, since I have to run up and down the stairs about 2000 times every morning, just to get them out of the house on time.

Laurie- don't let me pressure you :) For me, its good, because then I feel more accountable. I walked 20 min's, then walked to the bus stop with my friend in the am and in the pm, even though I don't have kids there LOL But I am like you- I need to see the sky and sun and I wanted to take advantage of the nice weather while we have it. Soon enough it is going to be too cold to be outside (at least for me, I am a wimp!) so I gotta soak up the sun!

Krista- hey darling! Good morning. here is some :tea: for you!

Trudy- sounds like a perfect day! No work, garden time and scrap time. I hope that you got it all in :)

Meg- good idea with the chickens-- to wait. Can't imagine trying to baby sit chicks LOL

Stef- oh no, sorry you are having a tough time. They say that you lose brain cells with each pregnancy- i think it is true :D Hope today is a Tuesday at the very least- one Monday is bad enough.

I haven't seen Amanda's CT list, did she post it here and I missed it?

Clara- I am seriously GREEN with envy that you live so close to Andrea (and that she lives so close to you haha!). Seriously- some day I am going to have to drive down. or fly. or buy a hover-craft or jet pack. It makes me so proud to be part of the O when I see what true and good relationships it helps to create.
So awesome about the field trip. I know it has to be hard doing the HS-ing, but you are going amazing! Ethan might seem like he isn't getting lots out of it, but I bet he is getting much more than you think, academically and family/personally/emotionally.

Linda S- great news to see that Mom is holding up good. Congrats onthe laptop, you deserve it!!

Petra- hope you get a fridge soon. Its hard enough to eat healthy- I can't imagine being on the road and trying to do it.

Laurie, Stef, Clara- you all rock so much. I would never even have the courage to apply for Amanda's CT.

ToT- break out my electric blanket and go back to bed!
 
It's 3:24am... WHY AM I AWAKE?? :crazy:

For whatever reason I'm not able to sleep right now, so I'm trying to figure out what to do. Told the hubs I was going to drink a huge glass of cranberry juice and be back, but now I'm feeling like a hot flash or something.

Uh oh, it sounds like he's up. I better :bolt:

Personals:

Chris -- Good luck with the appointments! Hopefully the breast tenderness is just hormonal, mine went away with changing the pill.
We have to do the same thing to get each other to the Dr. My husband just doesn't like to go because he doesn't want any health problems on his record, because in his line of work it can be an employment issue. Which bothers me bc we have NO family medical history for him because he's adopted. I just don't like to go because there's so much wrong with me, lol!

Everyone-I-Missed-Who-Didn't-Make-The-CT-Call-For-Amanda -- It's ok ladies!!! We all know you're fabulous!!! If it makes you feel better -- I didn't even TRY because I knew that call was going to be cut throat. I don't even know how she managed to get the list down to that many.
 
hello my lovelies... i'm back. we've all been sick here. finally feeling better - almost myself again. we found out that we have mold infection - bleh. we're now following an anti-fungal program which is what knocked us all out last week - it's like herxing, if you know what that is. basically, the bacteria die off and it increases all your symptoms by like a thousand. But, one side benefit is that i was in one notch on my belt yesterday - so that's a bonus.

anywho, that's what's going on with me. now, i'm just playing catch up.
 
Morning all you fabulous "O" Ladies :wave: Off to work in a minute so just a quick :plane: by for me. One more sunny day and then they say it will start to :rain: again. On the west coast or rather the Wet Coast as we call it , that means it could rain until May or June. Hopefully I will be back for personals later this afternoon. Have a great day everyone :thumb:
 
Good morning ladies. I'm having trouble waking up. I was feeling frantic last night and so took a xanax and that always makes it hard for me to wake up the next day. But that is better than the frantic feeling. The kids are having trouble waking up because they will not go to bed at night. We are going to have to come up with a solution for that because I'm tired of the night time routine not working. It used to be awesome but now it is a mess.

So, this morning I am so sad for my sister. She called me sobbing last night. She is dating a guy who is from Peru and he is a very nice guy but apparently they have found a huge roadblock in their relationship. Even though he lives in the US he thinks all Americans are arrogant and that the rest of the world hates us (mind you he has a green card and lives here) and doesn't show her a lot of respect for her culture but expects her to respect his. He was raised learning that we should not call ourselves Americans because there are two continents with the name America in them. He was taught the the WWII concentration camps were propaganda and didn't exist and is fairly anti-semetic and is pretty political. Yet he is not very open to other opinions and beliefs. So, we'll see what happens. She was just so excited about this and my heart breaks for her. I guess I just never realized how much cultural differences could effect a relationship.

Anyway, today we have piano lessons and Ethan wants to get busy on his school work so he can go fishing tomorrow. Every Friday there is a play group and if doesn't get stuff done he can't go. I'm trying to get things put into worksheets and stuff so that he knows exactly what he needs to get done. Plus with things like grammar I hate that they make them write an entire sentence to show that the first letter needs capitalized. That is just ridiculous to me. Plus then I get frustrated because his handwriting sucks because he's in a hurry trying to get it done fast so I'm just trying to alleviate that problem all together. I do need to find a handwriting program though. His handwriting can look great or can look horrible depending on how much time he spends on it. I am appalled by how many handwriting bad habits he has though. There is no way I would have gotten away with that in elementary school. Starting o's at the bottom. a's looking like u's and all sorts of crazy stuff. So, I need to find a 3rd grade handwriting book.

Alrighty...I haven't done personals in a bit so I think I should definitely show some love today.

Chris - not going to get your mammo? WHAT!!! Put out your hands so I can slap them. I'm glad you know you need to get it taken care of and will be getting it done by the end of the year, RIGHT????? :) You should totally come down here. That would be so much fun. Not that Fayetteville is the ultimate in destination spots but we would make it awesome anyway and we could go play with Andrea and it would be awesome.

Meg - What in the world were you doing awake at 3:24? Wow!! That is craziness. I hope you fell back asleep. Husbands are so strange about doctors aren't they? DH is the opposite for now. He wants everything on his record so that he can get a disability check from the Army when he gets out. He's already not allowed to run because of his ankles. But once he gets out of the Army it will probably be a pain in the butt to get him to be seen. Your plan with the chickens sounds great. I wish you would hurry up and get them though because I want to see some pics. :)

Hey I just saw a blur go through here...was that Krista??

Vicki - A mold infection? Sounds horrible. I'm allergic to mold, which sucks but an infection sounds really icky. I'm glad you have returned back to your regular self. Big hugs for you.

Trudy - Ooooh! I hope it doesn't rain too much. I'm coming home next week. But I'll be in the mountains for part of it. Hopefully it won't rain while I am there too much. I am so excited that you are enjoying your job. I hope you have a great day too.
 
hey girlies!! I'm not going to rub it in that I slept in...it felt good!!! and really this just means that I slept until 9am. Remember when sleeping in meant 11 or 12pm??? Anyway, I let my littlest munchkin sleep with me last night, which is usually taking one's life into one's hands, but with the new Tempurpedic, I didn't move a muscle when she moved and she hardly moved, too!!! :) yay!!

So I whipped up Quilted ornaments all day yesterday, and last night NanaLinda scammed them!! So today, I'm going to do a bunch more Christmas Trees...I may do more stars, too...AND I'm going to do the little pockets for all of Krista's and Clara's advent calendars. I hope to work on some of the business side of all of this, too!! Like sending out a newsletter, taking pics, blogging! omy...I need to clone myself!! :) (wouldn't that be scary!!)...

okay...off to be productive!

Hugs to everyone!!! love you all!
 
Well, my ravelry meet up was a bust -- no one showed up! Before I left home, I was sweating buckets after blow drying my hair. So after half an hour, I left the place where we were meeting for home. I think I have a fever -- that also explains how I was feeling when I woke up at 3am!!

Whoa... was that Krista?? :bolt:

Vicki -- wow, I didn't know you could get a mold infection! Sounds awful! I know what you mean when things kill off the good bacteria -- if you guys need to try probiotics and things like yogurt don't cut it, try Align. It's cheapest at Costco, especially when they have a coupon. I took align for almost a year, it's amazing!

Trudy -- Send some rain my way!! We had some very scattered showers the last few days here -- I miss all the rain I got living in Oregon.

Clara -- I hope your sister breaks things off with him, if he's like this NOW -- he's not going to compromise with anything further on into the relationship. The people he's hating on are her people, I hope she doesn't lose her identity to him!
Good luck to your husband with the army disability -- my cousin in law is having problems with getting out of the army, even though she's already on their disability. They keep screwing up her paperwork!
I can't wait for the chickens too :) I'm already planning Christmas photos with them, lol!

Sally -- You go girl with the ornaments!!! I'm super happy for you, that you're turning this in to a great business!
 
Sally - I'm telling you...this is a good time for teaching the kids about the early 1900 and the assemebly line and the end of the depression and all that. Oh and also a great way to teach them about child labor laws and sweat shops and why they are so bad. What better way to understand than first hand knowledge.
 
Meg - I feel ya about my sister. I think my sister is finally strongf enough to make a decision based on what is right. But it has taken her so long to get there and she thought she had finally met the right guy so she is going to be heart broken. The hard part is that his english is not great so it is sometimes hard to know what is not understood and what is disrespect. They really need to sit down with an interpreter and get this figured out but who's going to do that? My heart just breaks for her. But I am so with you about what you said.
 
Ii cannot believe I almost forgot that today is October 7. I know that is just a day to all of you but to be that is a major event in my life. On October 7 3 years ago I received a call from a friend of mine saying that a plane had crashed in some mountains a few hours from my house and that a friend of ours was on that plane. My and my husband we up to the mountain and as soon as we arrived we received the news that the plane was found and that there were no survivors. It was a major heartbreaking thing for so many people because he was one of those people that was full of life and had a ton of best friend s and yet none of them seemed slighted. He was always the life of the party because he was a blast and had a good time. his girlfriends were always crazy because he was always go go go all the time and so he seemed to meet girls that were bipolar and in a manic stage and then when the dropped they would go crazy because he was just perma-manic and so it always created conflict. But he was a great guy. Anyway, I just wanted to write about him and that today was a day to remember him. So today instead of mourning I am going to go and love on my family and do something fun. Not quite sure what but something. he was so full of life and love that I think t he only way to memorialize him is to live and love today. So if you are put in any position to either sit at home or go live...go live. And call somebody and tell them you love them for me today please because I love each of you and want you to spread that outward today pretty please. Love you guys!! You are the bestest and you help me breathe more often than you know.
 
ah, I have read in here several times today while scrapping, then would not allow myself to post until I went outside for a walk. It is sunny and 70 and will be nice for a few days. Need to get ready for dance tonight. Blood test results show my bad cholesterol is creeping up- so now I will have to decide - lifestyle changes or meds- think I am going for the lifestyle changes for 3 mos to see if it makes a difference and if not, then meds.
 
Oh Clara... right back at ya!! We all love you too and will say a little prayer for your friend :pray:
