Daily Ooo's Wednesday Feb 11

[faerywings]

I promise ladies, no more crabbiness being blasted at you today. I am meeting my BFF for coffee to day so I am saving it all up for her. Buhahahahha!!!! Man, oh man, yesterday was brutal. I did talk more to my brother about the situation, and it is for the best. But it is still sad for me and while sad for them, sometimes, something is not meant to be. And the right "something" *cough someone* is out there for both of them, that will make them and the rest of our family complete.
Ya know, this is silly! Here I am talking in riddles. As if any of you are going to meet my brother and if you ever did (would love it, that would mean you would meet me too LoL) that you would say anything.
*shakes head*

My Bro and SIL are trying to adopt. They had a birth mother. Then they found out that she has bipolar and so does one of her sons. This was not disclosed on any of her med forms and they are concerned that this is not all that she is hiding. Another little issue has since come up as well.

So it is pretty definite that they are going to to find another birth mother. But I really wanted a baby for them and for me. As I was be-otching about yesterday, I feel that I have so little to be happy about/look forward too, that this was one thing I had really grabbed on to. Like I said yesterday, totally immature and selfish. But human, I suppose....

But I am trying to do better today. I am meeting my BFF whom I adore and we have been through so much together. I know she is going to let me b**** and cry and then tell me to get a grip on myself and get over it. That is one reason I love her!

love all of you too! Tank you for the hugs- oh and Clara- took me a while, but I was able to squish my eyes back into my head!

 

[faerywings]

On to my O-Fam

Alicia- how did you get in my head? LOL That is exactly how my brain feels. How was the seminar? Any advice to share????? Hope it helped you tons and tons.

LindaP-- so you liked the movie? Awesome, we plan to get it/rent it on DVD. My SIL hated it, loved the books so much better. Oh and a question for you---
*Spoiler alert perhaps*

Is there any crying in Book 4..... I mean is there anything that is going to make *me* cry. Like in HP Book 7, I bawled for hours. I plan on bringing to my mom's this weekend, but I want to be prepared I tend to not cry, and hold it all in, but when something gets me started, it *all* comes out -- very messily hahahahah! ( We watched that Will Smith movie where he is alone in NYC and one part-- I cried for hours over it and everything else in my life :eyeroll:

Hi Tiff! Man, it is soooo good to have you back!

Sandra, how is Dad today? Bet it felt *great* to spend some family time together!

Clara- I am chuckling over Addie- such a little sister LOL

Linda- Any words of advice? I know you must have gone through issues with adopting....
And I didn't know you had Lasik- how cool! I had enetered a contest a few years ago from the local radio stattion, New Year , new you type thing. One of the Grand Prized was Lasik. I was one of the semi-finalists and had to go for an eye exam to see if I was eligible to have Lasik. I was, but I didn't win. I was bummed......would have been cool.
Anyway- good to see ya too, you busy lady!


Dawn, could you repeat that line about me never being crabby? Really loud, so my dh can hear? LOLOL!!! Hope you got some betetr sleep last night.

So to all of my O-Fam, love you all!
Hope you all have the best day ever.

(are any of you singing SpongeBob now?
It the best day.... ev-errrrrr)

WWW:
I wish that my Bro and SIL find the perfect birth mother quickly and that everythibg works out perfect.
I want Scott to feel better- he is home from school today, sick. (oooh! BTW- He got an 89 on his midterm, yay!!!!!!)
I want Gary to have a decent day too ( Day three of not throwing up!)

good morning! Just a quick post from me, as I'm super busy today! I've got a load of laundry in that I have to finish, I've got to go see Daddy this morning and be back by 11:45-ish, because Piper has ballet at 1:15... then tonight we are all going out and getting the kids haircuts... Will's hair looks TERRIBLE! I have to get Valentines for Will's party, and something to make for it!

Daddy is supposed to be coming off the vent today... he was mad at everyone yesterday it seems, and kept reaching with his hands toward the vent wanting to pull it out... he did manage to tell me he wanted a pop which of course he won't get unless they thicken it... they think that might be what he aspirated into his lung and caused his pneumonia!

Chris - crossing my fingers that Gary has a good day and that Scott feels better soon... yay Scott on your midterm!! Something for your brother and SIL will come along - my thoughts are with them! Chris - have fun with your friend today!

hi ME!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[LindaPete]

I came home from school early yesterday - I have last period free. Just felt yuky! This morning I seem to be better - hope it lasts! We have a regular school today then meetings all morning tomorrow and conferences in the afternoon and evening. Long day! BUT - I have Friday AND Monday off! WooHoo! I am really looking forward to that!
Hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday!

Chris Honey! - I know that it is so cliche, but I think that this birth mother rejection turned out for the right reasons. God will bring your family together with the right mother at the right time. Perhaps a baby with bipolar would have been more burden than a family that already has it's share of burdens could handle? Keep praying and He will see it through. Glad you are less crabby today. Have a WONDERFUL time with the bff! Hmmmmmmmmm - no I think you'll be ok with book four. I kwym with HP though. I totally lost it when Dumbledore died! Can't wait until Twilight comes out on dvd - March 21st or around there!

ME - I think a lot of us are having that kind of busy week! I know I am really looking forward to Friday off!

Sandra - glad to hear of continued improvement for your Dad! Haircuts sound fun tonight! That was always a lot of fun with our girls - just as long as they didn't go too short - Mr. Wonderful really thinks girls should have long hair

Linda - I'm so jealous - I so wish I could have lasik. I can hardly see to get out of bed without my glasses!

 

[Digi Designz]

Just a quick drive by today, gtg get ready for work....darn job..LOL but anyways hope all you ladies have a wonderful day!

 

[snappy2003]

Chris-So sorry about the adoption, things happen for a reason though and this one just wasn't meant to be, which means the perfect someone is still out there . LOL on the crabby, my DH thinks I am the *itchiest thing ever hehehe, he doesn't realize he is just super special because I share it with him only!

Speaking of the Will Smith movie....is it I Am Legend? I bawled my eyes out forever when he lost his special friend.

Sandra-give your dad a big hug from all of us, so happy things are looking up!

LindaP-glad you are feeling better and don't work toooo hard today!

Hi MaryEllen, Hi Digi, hugs to everyone that stops in later

Good morning ladies. Back again. I found out some crappy news on Monday from my eye doctor. I have an eye disease called keratoconus, where the cornea thins out and shapes into a cone, causing horrible vision and in some cases vision loss. I'm in the early stages but already the vision in my left eye is bad and is not being corrected better than 20/25 with glasses or soft contacts. Next I try hard contacts. If those stop working, next is corneal implants, and then next is corneal transplant. I am trying not to think that far, and focusing on now. The annoying thing is that my left eye is so poor, and so funky-shaped, that my contacts don't fit correctly and I get a lot of headaches.

Blah.

Anyway. Chris, big huge hugs to you sweetie. I can't imagine how hard this is on all of you. This situation saddens me. Also ... as to book 4 of Twilight series (I have read all 4 ... within 3 days very recently) you don't have to worry about a Dumbledore-dying type of thing. Yep, I'm a HP lover as well (WOOOOT That new movie is coming out this summer!!!!) I did cry in book 4, but not for long. It's a great book. I do feel like she tried to end it too soon, though. She could have drawn it out more and I would have been very happy. But, I'm hopeful that a sequel is out there.

Chris - PS - we are watching I Am Legend tonight. lol I'm ready for a cryfest. I heard it is pretty sad. But, I loooooove me some Will Smith, so I can't help it.

Sandra - I'm praying for continued recovery for your dad!!

Hey to the rest of you guys!!!

Good morning.

So, Chris this made me laugh...after I sent you a big squishy hug yesterday I watched Grey's anatomy and there is this autistic lady on there and she settles down when she gets upset with big squishy hugs. It calmed her nervous system or something and slowed her heart rate. So I just thought it was great that hugs have medical benefits, especially the big squishy ones.

So, I just had to say that real quick before I forgot. Today school is starting 2 hours late from the snow. People in WA go crazy when there is snow on the ground and they drive like idiots. You'd be amazed how bad they drive in the rain too, like they've never seen it before. But two hours late for Ethan means 2 hours late for me. Yay!! I really want to crawl back into bed, so I might. We'll see. I just thought I'd say hi first.

Today I have to bust my butt to get Ethan's Valentine's finished. They aren't hard by any means but probably a little time consuming. I just have to cut them apart and staple them. Not hard. Tonight I have to make cupcakes for our extra kid. His birthday is tomorrow so his mom was hoping he could take some to class. I'm going to make ice cream cone cupcakes. Those are too fun and kids always like them. Maybe instead of going back to bed I'll run up to the store with E and get the stuff. I hope it is okay. I sent a note to his teacher and she wrote on it but he decided he should throw it away because she gave it back to him so I have to take his word as to what it said. 6 year olds...

Well onto all of my dear O Friends...
Chris - That is really sad about your brother. I'm sure that let down has to feel a little like having a miscarriage. You get so excited and then it just isn't happening. But, like I told my son when I had a m/c that just wasn't the right baby for our family. Everything will work itself out and before you know your bro and sil will have their own beautiful sweet baby to bring home. Have fun with your bff. Those types of dates are the best. Oh, and I think you'll be fine with Twilight. There's one part where someone leaves but everything is happy by the end of the book. It's a gooey teen novel. Everything has to be happy by the end.

ME - Hi! I hope things slow down a little bit for you.

Sandra - Have fun with the haircuts. We have this cool place I take the kids where they get to sit in cars and stuff. It works well for Addie. I'm so glad to hear of your dad's improvement. That is just so awesome.

Linda - I hope you stay feeling better. A four day weekend sounds awesome. I could have a 3 day if I wanted but I can get paid time and a half and not use any vacation if I work it, so I think I will. Trying to save up vacation time for when I want to use it.

Hi Alicia! Hi Dawn!! I hope all of you have a great day.

 

[clarabear]

Tali - I posted at the same time as you. Your poor eyes. That really sucks. Well, I hope it develops very slowly and that whatever treatment you do works awesomely. Do you know what causes it or is it just something random that happens to some people? Oh, and I agree about Twilight. The end was a little shortened and felt like a giant build up to something small, although I still loved it.

 

[cellomom]
