LOL- I just was looking for yesterday's Ooo's thread to comment on, and I realized that I had posted Thurs instead of Tues. Last I had read, no one had noticed-- but I see that Kelly did!
Yup, Date-Challenged, that is me :)

It is Wednesday, Hump Day and a Work/Cleaning Day for me.

I am also feeling LoOp-ier than usual for some reason.
Cait woke up and threw up. I think it is just post nasal drip/coughing related. Now that she is done, she feels and looks fine. I am going to give her another hour, before I decide to keep her home or not.

Anyway,I have to run, get the car warmed up (Still no remote start installed- it is just sitting on the counter in the box). But good news is that we might break 50* today!
And there was much rejoicing. Yay.

I'll be back for the personals!

Busy day for me yesterday. We started the day with a staff meeting to plan for some possible schedule changes for next year Then the kids just kept coming and coming to class. lol
After school Mr. Wonderful and I headed into Sioux Falls to shop for bathroom fixtures and such. Now nothing says romance like shopping for toilets! We are in a state of constant remodel - but at least we are at the point where we can start putting some of it back together!
We stopped at our favorite Mexican restaurant for nachos and margaritas to watch the South Datkoa State women's second round ncaa basketball game. This is SDSU's first year of eligible Division I competition so making the tournament has been very exciting. A former student of mine plays for the Jackrabbits! The game was exciting! In the end, Baylor won by two with a great shot made with half a second left in the game!

I'll be back for personals later, hopefully!

Personal Ooo's coming at ya live! :D

It might take me a while, b/c so many of you posted! Yay!!!

LindaP- who us, get in trouble together? LOL Nahhhh!:cool:
Although, I am having second thoughts about visiting. Your weather seems crazier than mine. I might just end up staying with Dumpty and her gorgeous weather forever haha!

Hi Sandra! Did the kids ever get settled down to take turns with the easel? It sounds like a fun thing!

Hi Dawn, hope that you are feeling better today.

Dumpty- I trained, sure I did. I swam out to the dock two summer ago at our lake. it was Scott's first time out and I didn't want him to go alone. I made it. Yeah. I can do it. hahah!
And what fun would kids be if they didn't fight?:confused:

Quirky-- Oh no about the tea! I do stuff like that all of the time. What is Friendship Tea?
Hope you are not in pain today- but woot for you on walking like that!
I think there is going to be another sign up for the Healthy -O's in April, you should try it!
Wow, Jordan is a big guy! And I feelyour pain w/ ins. co's. I hope yours gets all worked out too.

Yay Kay-Bamm! I can't wait to hear all about the PSA! ISn't a great feeling of pride when someone you love works so hard to make his life better! I am proud of your Mr Fantastical (?) too!

LOL CLara- I knew you'd "hear" that mom-tone LOL Glad to hear you have an appt!
Did you ever find your phone? I hate when that happens! Thanks for the good words onthe PICC- I know it is going to help so much, its just a creepy idea, yaknow?

Gosh- I love artichokes but haven't had one (outside of in dips) in years- we steamed them in dipped the leaves in butter!

Gah! I lost the rest of my post!!!

Ok super quick now---

Hi Tali!!

Joslyn I hope you got your nap!

Yam, Argentina- cool! I hope you share lots about it, I know nothing of the country. But creepy way to learn about the holiday eep!
A PICC is a tube that they are going to insert into my vein so I can infuse IV antibiotics at home to kill the Lyme bacteria.

Sally you are toooo funny!

Sara- OMG- I wasn't even at that chat , land I am ROTF! Love the llama avi!

Happy WEDnesday LOL!

Chris-I noticed the Thurs/Tues thing yesterday but I kind of liked it and wished it was Thurs so didn't want to say anything :). When do you get your PICC line? that will be great for you! I figured out why I felt yucky yesterday...I woke up with a migraine today, it was bad enough I stayed home, the glare from the puter is bothering me so I'm gonig to have to take a pain pill and go back to bed for a while adn see if it gets better :(.
I hate doing that, wish I could take the migraine meds.

Yam-I can't wait to hear lots of stories about Argentina, such as foods, animals, traditions...I love hearing about different cultures! Fascinating :). I'm so glad you've joined us, love your personality and your layouts!

Jos-how are you feeling? Anymore Braxton Hicks?

LindaP-yum margaritas and nachos...oddly enough a margarita sounds pretty good even before 8am LOL

Kayleigh-I like Chris's nn for you Kay-BAMM cute! Really cool hearing all about your guy's accomplishment, I bet you are very proud of him :).

ME-You sound just like me, everytime I go for a mani by the time I get to my car I've messed at least one nail up :rolleyes: but it's still such a pick-me-up.

Clara, Dumpty, Sandra, Tali, anyone who stops in, hope you have a great day! Will try to stop in later! Hugs to all :).

Good morning!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....I worked until very late on my last LO for the KIM spotlight challenge, it's really addictive!!! but now I need to move on, to pass thru my stage fear and get into the CHEERYO LO :rolleyes:
My mom is coming to visit me, to see the new pictures of family babies and what was I doing all the last week that I was sooo busy!:p...I will show you all my oscraps birthday LO I dis except the one about her, as I said! I am soooo not showing her that one!!!! You can say, yes, I am afraid of the little old lady :D. She is going to take all my attention today. Mothers daughters affair!

Chris- I got it...I don't know much about the Lyme, except that can be bad...I learned about it in IOWA regarding my dog, sorry, went I went to the vet there and he explained to me why to vaccinate him against that, but I don't know if it's the same at all...but for sure, I am sorry you need to go thru this! Where I live in Argentina, in the south it's beautiful, all the glaciers close even if I didn't see them yet...nature is splendid here, but the 3 world rules and I don't like that.

It seems to me that everyone here had a pretty regular day, we need to be happy to have those!

More, later...have a wonderful day!

Howdy ladies...So my intentions were extremely good last night but I just didn't get there. I swore I was gonna do yoga (the easy relaxing kind!) last night, if for no other reason but to stretch out those muscles I used on the walk :) But alas I got into a coughing fit that lasted so long I lost my cookies :( I HATE LARYNGITIS!!! Add to that my doc. put me on a steroid and let me just say I think the meds are doing just as many weird things to me as the laryngitis is! Oh well...on on the steroid for about a week...so that will end!

On the bright side I did get a simple little page scrapped! So at least I did something productive..

Now you wanna laugh???? Of course you do...so my little girl is in school now, first year so in my brain that means the intro to instant dramas and insanity. But so far the year has been pretty good...I got home last night to the cutest little 5 year old going " Mommy, I have a bad letter in my bag :(" Now let me tell ya the girl HATES to be in trouble so she was about in tears! I calmly get out the bag and read the letter...Drama and insanity...remember that is what I thought school time would bring...well I got the insanity part right..It wasn't a bad note for my Little Savannah but a bad note to her DADDY!! Hello! Since when do the Parents get in trouble with the principle! He has managed to make the girl TARDY 10 days in a row! Not 1 or 2 oh crap we overslept...but 10!!!!!! I couldn't stop laughing and poor Savannah thought I'd lost it! So I call the hubby...and you know what I get??? "Oh, Ok." Can we say denial!!! So when he gets home I find out...the dork has been taking the baby to grandma's FIRST! BIG NO NO!! Grandma doesn't know how to just let you drop the baby off and run! So now I'm hoping I don't get anymore nasty grams in the kiddos book bag about the DRIVER!!

Ok..that took more explaining than I thought...sorry about that O's!

Dawn: What kind of Motorcycle is your hubby selling...my hubby would love to have one...for that matter so would my daddy dearest and mother! :)

Kelly: Ok I have to ask...what do you stuff them with?

Ziggy: I sooo hope you get to take a breather soon!

Mary Ellen: girl I don't think I've EVER gotten a mani done that the polish wasn't smeared ASAP!

Yam: Hmmm Secret Scrapping Agent....never thought about that...but I do believe I would qualify!:D:D

Joslyn: Were you lucky? Did it hit the 50's? Hope you got that nap you wanted! My hubby is the same way on trying to be quiet if he has to get up before me but well...does a bull in the china shop sound familiar!

Enough from me now!:) Now didn't you all miss your books from me!:oops:

Hey chickies! Another quickie from me. Busy day, again. Ugh. We have a follow-up with the boys' neonatologist today (one of them, not sure which one yet) in Sioux Falls. So, Ella is staying at an after-school daycare all day and Eric and I are headed up to SF. The hospital there (one of them) - Sanford - recently finished building a new children's hospital - the Castle. We are excited b/c the boys' appointment is in the castle so we are going to go check it out. I'm hoping to stop by the nurses in the High Risk OB department, where I lived for 8 weeks before the boys were born. I'd like to see some of them, and I know they would love to see the boys - Baby A and Baby B. ;)

Day 3 of a headache. Just a headache, no migraine, so I'm thankful for that.

Dawn - I hope your head feels better sweetie. :( I haven't found a migraine med that helps me - either they don't help or I have a bad reaction. Very frustrating.

Linda - where do you guys eat your Mexican in Sioux Falls? I like Chevy's for their margaritas and chips, but, I love Puerto Vallarta too, for more authentic stuff. YUM. I watched the end of the game - SO exciting!!!!

Chris - I hope it gets warm for you today sweetie! Here it won't. Our weather is ridiculous. 70+ last week, 37 yesterday, with thunderstorms and tornadoes in between, not to mention flooding and blizzards in parts of our state.

Ohh..and I'm a dork...

It dawned on me as I was fixing a cup that Dawn had asked what the Friendship tea is! It sounds really odd but I swear it is toooo yummy!

It is a powder mix that you put in hot water! Here is the mix..

1 18oz can of Tang
1 small container of apricot jello (can be peach)
1/2 cup Instant tea powder
1 cup sweetened Lemonade powder (if it isn't sweetened just add 1/2 cup of sugar to the mix)
1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon

Mix all this up and put in an airtight container. You mix about 2 tablespoons of the mix to a normal coffee cup of hot water. Let me know if any of you try it and what you think...I SWEAR it tastes better than it sounds!

always chatty at the O!!
Good morning!! I don't really have time to be here but I am anyway. Today is a good day, as it is my Friday. Whoohoo!! I am going to the Oregon Coast tomorrow morning. I am so excited about it. It will be cold and probably rainy but it isn't here and we'll be staying in a hotel and all that. Afriend of ours has one of those timeshare plans where it is essentially hotels all over the world, so she invited us to go with her. I was getting food ready last night and figuring out what we were going to eat while we were there and all that. We'll have a full kitchen. You can't beat that. My dh forgot his shopping list for the Commissary so hopefully he'll check his e-mail later and I can e-mail him the list. Dork!! I knew better than to think he would remember it.

I am hoping that today a friend of mine wants to go out for lunch. I love going out for lunch with her. PLus we always find little cheap places and so it works out great. Lunch will be hit or miss today though because of the docs that are working. So, we'll see how it goes.

I got my Cheery-O layout done and of course now I keep second guessing it. I knew I wouldm which is why I went ahead and posted it before I started changing it and messing it all up. Now I am stuck on the word art challenge. I'm having color issues. I hate it when that happens. But hopefully I will get it done this weekend. I am not taking my laptop with me to work because I need to reorganize my desk for the people who are filling in for me. One girl who is filling in for me makes me crazy. She always touches and rearranges stuff like I'm not there every single day. Me and her have never really gotten along. I think she is a mean spirited person and it bugs me when she acts all nice. Grrrr! I need to push it out of my head because I am going on vacation.

Well, I am out of time and still have to unload the dishwasher. I'll be back to chat with each of you. I have not written nearly enough yet. LOL!!! Ciao ciao!!

Morning OFAM!!!

So I feel like I have been hit by a mac truck...i think it's from staying upa bit too late...that whole "mr gorgeous is in california" thing again!! LOL!! I'll get over it after I eat, I think. The headache, not that Mr Gorgeous is in CA!! LOL!!!!!! Right now, my mini-man is making me french toast!!! He's never done it before. It's soooo cute!! he is doing it all for me...and i didn't even ask!! He asked his older sister how to do it and asked his younger sister to crack the eggs. How cute is that???? It'll be interesting to eat...I can smell it already!! heehee!! I'll probably whip out the camera here in a sec...Love those boys!! (he's 11, btw, in case y'all were wondering!!)

I'm so excited to see so many warm faces here in the O!! I think I have a bit of a party withdrawl...but my house is finally clean!! yay!!!! So that is a plus!! fun party and clean house...*whew*

Hugs to you all...gotta go eat my wonderful son's creations!!

love you ALL!!!

Hi girls,

I'm trying to be update with the Daily's On but it's been really difficult with this borrowed computer... I don't know why it keeps losing the internet signal.

I have 2 good news !

1st-> Apple recognized it was their problem (a technical issue) and they are going to change the motherboard without any charge for me. Can't wait to have my computer back in 15 days ! My life will be much more easier.

2nd-> The LO that I did for the Thursday Photo Challenge is in Gallery Standouts today !!!
here is my LO: https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=83996&cat=500&ppuser=20971

It's good to hear from you... I promise that I'll post more often.

See you...

Hi O's!!! Little man is hiccuping like crazy right now and it always tickles my belly :). Not much going on here today and I am thankful for it. I work tonight so a nice day of rest will be great, well as much rest as thing one and thing two allow. They are both snugglers so I can usually get away with it.

This morning I schedulded my last day of work for the end of April. I'll be 38 weeks and I didn't want to push it too close to my due date, nor did I want to be too hopeful about going early! I am only picking up 1 day a week for all of April anyway :) and I have a class to recert my ACLS. It makes it seem so real when I put in my LOA, not that my protruding belly doesn't make it real it just gives a timeline :).

I am off to get a little scrapping, I haven't had time in ages and feel inspired right now!!!

have a great day everyone!

Sally~ What a sweet little Q you have!!! I love french toast have some for me too :). I hope you enjoyed them.

Clara~ have a great trip!!!! I can't wait to see pictures.

Hey ladies!!!

Well it is BLISSFUL nap-time here, lol. I was just so in need of some down time today. Heres to hoping naptime is a good chunk of the afternoon today. ;)
So many people in the Daily O's now! Whew! I cant keep track! Its cool though, glad to see so many new faces......So this weekend we are *finally* supposed to be going to order our playscape with my In-laws, we took a ride there last week and it was closed and then we were supposed to go last weekend but we all got sick and my FIL had pnemonia...grrrr I just cant wait to get it and have it up because its starting to get nice here and my little man needs to get out and CLIMB..... I mean really the kid is part monkey I think...yikes

My Husband is off the next 7 NIGHTS....OMG!! he has training classes during the day (every year they have to be recertified to shoot their guns... lol that sounds funny) and hes off completely sat sun and mon. so between working days instead of nites and having regular days off, yikes hes off 7 nights. Thats alot of meals I need to plan! Today he had a little tude about the grocery bill and I had to explain **YET AGAIN** that stuff is expensive and I do not get a joy out of spending alot, its not like im buying shoes, its groceries! not fun! GGRRRRR

anyway......hope everyone is having a great day!

Chris - Wondering how long the PICC line thing is for, sounds like it will be super beneficial to you.... direct IV antibiotic....hoping it will help to get you feeling good asap although I wish you didnt have to deal with it in the 1st place!!

Lindap romantic toilet shopping...I LOVE shopping for home stuff, hope you found some good stuff!

Dawn - Hope your headache goes away asap!!!! Hugs!

Yam - Nice to see you here in the Daily O's!!!!

Quirky!!! That was hilarious about your DD and the letter...poor little one!! Like my husband- Get it together Daddy! . Where are the baby pics!!!!!! The stuffed artichokes are pretty easy - you just clean them and trim the tops, cut the stem so they sit evenly, then you sort of pull back the leaves and the "stuffing" is just breadcrumbs, s & p, olive oil, parsley, grated Parmesean & Romano cheese, garlic, olive oil, and you stuff the stuffing in between the leaves, and drizzle a bunch of olive oil over them, throw them in a baking dish close together and fill the dish with water a couple of inches, (about half the height of the artichoke) cover em and cook like 45 mins till the leaves are super tender and you can pull em off and eat the "meat" stuffing between em. Yummm!!!! Its an Italian artichoke recipe, I can get you the actual recipe (I use my gram's) if youd likeit. Let me know!

Tali - Hope your headache is gone too, how did the appointment go with the boys?

Clara - Excited for your vaca! Are you going to have a laptop with you? I dont want to you to get the shakes or anything....!!!!!!!!;)

Sally you worked way too hard last week - get some sleep babe!!!!!!

Lia - Hi! Glad to see you here! come back often we are a fun (ok fun-ny) bunch! :D

Jos - Nico had hiccups EVERY NITE at midnight so weird!! Thing 1 and 2...!!!!


Hope everyone is enjoying their Humpday!!!!!!:D:D

Okay ladies...I feel like it took me forever to get back here but here I am to say to each of you cuz I love it!!

Chris - you know...it is going to warm up and the remote start will have done you not a bit of good for the winter. Silly girl. I have to admit I would do the same thing though. I finally have my dh trained that if he gets something like that for me he needs to get it taken care of for me all the way through. This would go for things like massages or whatever. I need to have everything scheduled and taken care of or I don't get to it or think it is too much bother. Ya know?? I hope your weirdness goes away (not your loopiness, just the odd feeling you have today. lol!!) I hope Caitlin isn't sick with the flu and her cough goes away. Poor thing. I had a 2-3 year old throw up on my foot once from coughing so hard and it was horrible. I hated babysitting to begin with and then a little girl threw up on my foot. Ugh!!

Linda - Nachos and margaritas? That is my idea of heaven right there. Going out for a drink and snack to watch a game is so much fun. I'm glad I don't need to buy a toilet. I don't think I could handle buying a toilet or the thought of my dh doing any plumbing. Eeeek!!

Chris - I almost forgot...PICC lines do seem like a weird concept...I mean a very long IV that goes from your arm and into your heart but i have seen so many people with them in and they are not uncomfortable and it helps them so much. Once it is in you'll be fine. I totally understand that the idea of it is creepy and weird. Even seeing them so much it would freak me out. I wish I had an xray to send you of it though. It looks kinda cool. I'll look into that actually. Okay, here's what I found. I was going to just link you the x-ray but the story that went along with it was just too strange not to share with you. I know you are a clean freak...but don't try this at home. Read it and you'll know what I mean. To see the PICC line though it is going into the arm on the opposite side of where it says AP and you can follow it all the way to the heart. Joslyn...you should read this too. Holey Moley!!! I find it amusing but I'm a little sick like that. Here's the LINK.

Dawn - (all said in a very quiet whisper) you and your poor head. I get a lot of sinus headaches, but only a couple of times that bad. I can't even imagine having to deal with that on a regular basis. I wish that there was something to be done about it.

Yam - Have fun with your mom. Mom's are interesting aren't they. I love mine but sometimes she is a little overwhelming. I haven't seen your layout yet. I'll have to look for that when I am done here. Have a great day with her.

Quirky - Aren't steroids the best. Not so much. Everyone here got to see the effects of me on steroids for a few days. Lots of random typing and I couldn't sit still. It made me crazy. Make sure you take it in the morning. Even doing that I didn't sleep so great. I hope your throat gets better soon. Oh, and yes husbands don't always use all aspects of their brain sometimes, do they. Hopefully dd will be getting to school on time now. That tea looks a bit strange. I think I would need someone to let me try it and then tell me what was in it. I don't think I could make myself make it on my own, kwim??

Tali - a hospital called teh Castle? That sounds cool. Does it look like a castle? That would be really cool. OUr children's hospitals around here are pretty straight forward although the insides are much cooler than the regular hospitals. I never did any training in a children's hospital but the people that did in my class loved it.

Sally - that is so sweet that Q made you breakfast. I can't wait for the day when E does that and I just know that is the type of boy he will be. He like doing stuff like that. Addie's idea of helping is to lick the beaters while they are still attached to the mixer as seen HERE when I turn my back. I hope your french toast was yummy.

Linda - I just read...spicy mango margaritas at Chevys?? What?? I am so there. I think there is a Chevy's up in Tacoma, about 30 minutes away. I am still counting down the days when I can have a Mango margarita with Cynthia next year. Mango is my FAVORITE!!

Lia - yay on it being an Apple issue. That is awesome. Thinsg being taken care of on someone else's dime is always so much nicer. he daily O's don't have to be everyday...just stop by when you can.

Joslyn - I LOVED baby hiccups. Those were the best. Addie always got them the same time of day when I would be sitting at my desk at work and they would make me giggle every single day even though I expected them and they came like clockwork. It is the best feeling knowing that they are really becoming a little person inyour belly. Hiccups just made both of my babies so much more real to me. 38 weeks i snot pushing it too near the due date, really?? In the ER?? There is no way I would have been able to do that. I hated pushing the portable machine to the ICU (it was on the opposite side of the hospital-going to the floors and the ER was fine but not the ICU) at 6 months. I actually had a little altercation with another tech over it. He decided I was just being lazy. I worked right up until my due date though, but I was working in a clinic so it was much easier. You are one tough cookie. Although I do believe I planned on working until my due date at the hospital too if I hadn't moved to the clinic.

Kelly - Naptime for baby always means naptime for me. I always plan on getting stuff done but I always find myself snuggled in bed instead. I say send DH to the grocery store. I hate sending mine but sometimes it is a necessary evil, ya know?? Then he would understand hopefully. I send mine sometimes because he doesn't understand what a pain it is for me. He always thinks I shoudl take at least one of the kids if not both. But if your DH doesn't understand the cost of groceries let him find out for himself. That's my theory.

Well, I read in here something about stuffed artichokes so I need to head back to yesterdays posts and see what that was all about.

I am so happy to see all these people in here today. I have been so lonely in the Os for awhile with just a few of us visiting so it is nice to see so many of you. Me, in all my wordiness loves it because I get to talk more and you all know how much I have to say about nothing. :)

I think all the people coming by is cause for some celebrating so let's have some cake. Ooooh, not really a cake fan so brownies it will be with some big scoops of ice cream on top when they are fresh out of the oven. Enjoy!!

Clara - the spicy mango is where it's at. Sweet, sour and a little after burn spice. Not too much, just right. Now I'm searching the internet for recipes so I can make my own at home:)
Hubby won't be doing the plumbing - that's the one remodel chore he HATES, we'll hire that done :)

Oh sure...I promise personals on a day when there's three pages of posts! Har har! Everything fine and dandy here with me. Just a little overwhelmed with the amount of work to do. But I'll get over it. And I've been in good spirits, so that helps. Anyway....personals....

Chris - Hope you and the fam are feeling better soon. We hit 50ish today too, so that was nice.

Linda and Tali - My secret crush (not-so-secret anymore) is in Sioux Falls today, so all the mentions of Sioux Falls isn't really helping me! hee hee....and....wait...Margaritas?! (yet another running gag from the chats; I always seemed about to sign off when someone mentioned margaritas). Linda - is scheduling as much of a nightmare for you as it is for us? Tali - I hope the twinks did good. Neonatal nurses are the best aren't they? Love love love those people!

Dawn, I hope your head feels better.

Hi Yam!! So glad to have you here...you are so friendly and warm!

Quirky - I'm having a brain fart moment and can't remember your real name. Your story was hilarious! And I hope you are having fun with your little guy. Sounds like you are into a nice schedule though.

Clara - Hope your trip is fun and not too rainy and cold.

Sally - I hope you are feeling better! Hope the french toast is yummy. (Have you heard the Toast song by Heywood Banks?)

Lialotito - I am so glad that you are getting your computer fixed. I love my Mac. =)

Jos - Thinking of those hiccups just makes me smile. =)

Kelly - I soooo miss naptime. (And is it bad that I sometimes miss my DH working nights and being a cool "cop"? He's a cool business guy now. Not the same.)

O.k. I think I hit everyone. I'm going to go work out, eat dinner, and finish grading the huge file of lesson plans by grad students that are waaaayyyy over due. =)

Dawn: What kind of Motorcycle is your hubby selling...my hubby would love to have one...for that matter so would my daddy dearest and mother! :)

Hi there Quirkyk (forgive me, I can't remember your name if you've told ). It's a 1991 Honda Shadow. He actually bought it for me to learn on and I rode it back and forth in the driveway a couple of times and that's it, I chickened out! We have a Harley and I decided I'm quite content to ride 2up behind him, that's the only place I let him be in charge ;)

Sara - so sorry to rub dirt in your crush remembrance :) Tali and I live about 40 miles apart with SF in the middle.
I TOTALLY feel your pain about personals today. I ran out of time when I posted this morning so I've been sneaking in all day and leaving little remarks.
Scheduling - are you talking school? If we are talking about school scheduling - our principal dropped a HUGE bomb on us in January that he'd like us to study block scheduling for implementation for 09-10! So here we are 8 weeks from the end of the school year and no decisions have been made, course description booklets have not be put together, kids and parents have not been made aware of what's happening, requisitions have not even begun. So if that's anything like where you are......... I feel for you! The kids will go from 7 periods to 8 blocks. Each faculty member will go from teaching 6 out of 7 to teaching 7 out of 8 blocks. Prep every other day! pretty sure that part is going to SUCK - especially for me with 6 different preps!

Ok, I'm done complaining! If you weren't asking about school scheduling - well, then just ignore me :)

Evening lovely Os :)

Well, my head is some better, thank you for the kind words!

Poor little Davy has been sneezing a lot the last 2 days, rabbits do that quite a bit anyway, at first his mucus was clear, now it has gotten white which means infection. I didn't notice until this evening. I'm so worried, I have gotten very attached to this little fellow already, we have formed quite a bond. There's not a 24 hr vet around here, I took off today because of my migraine so I'll have to trust Amanda to take him tomorrow, several of you know she has issues, I hope she can handle this. This feels silly asking, but please send happy thoughts for my little guy :).

LindaP-yummy I loooove mango margaritas!!! and peach...and regular...and strawberry...actually I have met one I didn't like LOL

Quirkyk-the friendship tea sounds pretty yummy, I've heard of that before, I'll have to give that a try and take some mix to work for something different! thank you for posting :).

Kelly-I've been there about the grocery bill. Luckily, DH does a lot of the shopping now and understands but back when the kids were little we got into lots of arguments over it. I know his schedule probably doesn't allow him time to go but maybe you can drag him along this weekend and let him see firsthand?

Jos-awwww baby hiccups! I barely remember those times, toooo sweet, thank you for sharing that!

Tali-Hope your head is better :(.

Yam-My doctor won't let me take Excedrin due to the caffeine, he thinks caffeine withdrawal causes some of my headaches. I used to take a lot of Excedrin though. I do take Topamax which cuts down on my migraines some and Mobic. I can't wait to see your Cheery-o layout, it will be gorgeous!!

Sally-awww, a headache for you, too?! hope you're feeling better!

Clara-have fun on your vacation!!!

Hi Lia, Hi Sara! Hope everyone has a goodnight's sleep! Catch you all tomorrow :).

Good evening ladies! So much going on around here! I've been in two days of training classes so kind of nice to be out of work. But I logged on to catch up on emails and there were 100+ and only about 15 of them don't require a response. Ugh... And they are predicting snow showers for the weekend... But, the good news is that tomorrow is Thursday!!! Yay!

HA HA HA HA! I just got llama'd on Facebook by Cora!

Linda - I was asking about school scheduling. You're in worse shape than we are with schedules. Our principal is not that competent, but wouldn't do that to us I don't think. I did block scheduling, but I only did it a year and the school itself was so bad that I didn't really notice about the schedule. =)

And as long as it's not too bad of me...thinking of my crush isn't too big a problem. =)

OMG Clara!!! I read that story and my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the bleach!!!!! That is one that I have NEVER seen or heard and let me tell ya, I've seen some freaky things in the ED.

Chris, I've never seen a PICC put in we mostly do Central lines through the groin or neck in the ED because time is a factor but I've taken care of MANY MANY MANY people with PICC and I've take quiet a few out. Of all the devices they put in for long term use they are the least invasive and easiest to maintain. I wish I could come and be your home health nurse :)!
